Car Horses Ready for War.

From ne London Chr0Hici'.
II is said that during a charge In the South African
War a number Of London bus horses that had been
requisltioncd for active service came to a sudden
aud exceedingly awkwar stOppage on a bell being
rung by the knowing enemy. The story Is recalled
by a paragraph headed Registration of horses for
War once purposes" that appears on the London
County Council agenda for tomorrow.
It seems that for some time past the Council
has had an arrangement OF this kind with the White
hall authorities. The war once pays IS. a horse a
year. and an agreement is entered into by which
In case Of war the War once has power 70 pur-
chase registered horses at the price Of e55 each.
Last year 1900 horses were registered. and the
highways committee now that a SINH
lar number be registered next year.
The electrincation OF the London tramways
system will ultimately rob the Council OF a valua-
bic incidental source OF revenue and the War once
OF a useful standby in case OF emergency.

school Music Matches.

From he ClcrSIdnd Plain Dealer.
An inteTscholastlc singing meet" with rivalry
as keen as In track or other athletic contests, Is the
project being considered by Powell Jones, super
visor OF high school music.
His Intention Is 10 arrange within the near future
either q series OF contests or one big meeting at
which each OF the high schools OF the city will com
pete, and at which competent judges will determine
the relative merits OF the chorus work OF the differ
ent schools.
Jones's plan would be to bring one or more musi-
cal experts OF reputation here from outside the city
TO Judge the contest, and 10 have solo, quartet and
chorus events. The plan has been tried In one or
two other cities, and a noticeable result Is said
TO have been the increased interest In tbs musical
branch OF the high school course.

Cimmerian Darkness in Brooklyn,

The regrettable language of this in
quiry is on a level with the lamentable
lack which il reveals of a knowledge of
the great men and vents Of American
history:
To rHE EDITOR or THE SrS-str: l note YOU
quote a Mr.. MORAN OF Boston as aspiring TO the
Presidency. Kindly inform me, and others who
may he equally in ignorance,
"who the hell Is MORAN A. WILSON.
BROOKLYN. October 70"
We leave the expletive to the weary
Recording Angel, but Brooklyn shall
not burst in ignorance of the most illus
trious living citizen Of Boston.
The Hon. JOHN BUTTN MORAN is Dis
trict Attorney of Suffolk county, Massa-
chusetts, and magnifes his office until it
spreads over tho State.
Mr.. MORAN has done two things that
place him in the forefront of time:
He had the screens removed from the
barroom of the Hotel Essex.
He wrote the Massachusetts, Demo-
cratic platform Of 1905.
If Mr.. MORAN is elected Governor Of
Massachusetts, this year and reelected
next year he proposes TO compete on
even terms with Mr.. HEARST and Mr..
BRYAN for the Democratic nomination
for President in 1905.
Who is MORAN? Our Brooklyn friends
next question will be: Who was ADAM?

The Zulu War Cry,


From NONS ana UufTfN,
The Zulu wal cry. used whenever they take ne
neld by the South African footballers now IN Lon
don, has puzzled our newspapers. not one ~ whlch
seems able 10 spell IL correctly. The DAM ~
press gives II as "Igamllzho." and the nam MOI
as "GammillO." The cry really consists Of Two
words. and should be written "lgama ld}o
"IgamA" Is Zulu for name and "layo' is a pos
sessive pronoun. meaning either IBIS" or "ihelr
Thus the DdRy Mal. although quite wrong IN 10
photography OF the cry. is right in saying mat u
merely means THAT is his name" The c1plana'
ton is that Zulu etiquette does not allow uarriors
when they rush into battle. 10 mention the names
OF their enemies, but the leaders shout out, "Iha'

The City Magistrates courts are without
the respect Of the public to-day. az they
nave been for many months. In their
present disrepute they fail to accomplish
the purpose for which they are maintained.
To ignore the allegations Of incompetency
and dishonesty that are constantly made
against some Of the Ma gistrates will not
restore confidence in the courts. An in
vestigation hat will cleanse the bench may
produce temporary unpleasant results. but
in the end it will effect a reform that is
sadly overdue.
