Street Car Cleanliness.

Secretary Eddy of the District electric
railway commission declares that the
street cars in use in the District are
much cleaner than formerly, owing to
the abandonment of the dust-laden carpet
seats that at one time caused the aver
age public conveyance TO be thing of
terror to every person with the least con-
ception of sanitation. But there is still
room for Improvement While some of
the cars are swept several times during
each day. on other lines the cars are not
swept at all, save in a most perfunctory
fashion perhaps at the end of the days
running. The Slated floors accumulate
large quantities of dirt. all of it potential
~ dangerous to health. This dirt could
be removed entirely at the end of each
round trip by the use of a pneumatic
device which could be easily installed at
the terminal points and operated by the
electric current AT a slight expense the
street cars of Washington could be kept
perfectly clean and sanitary, and car rid
ing in this city would be infinitely more
pleasurabfe and more safe than at

The news from Mexico grows graver
with fresh dispatches. What at first
appeared 70 be a mere local uprising, pos
sibly fomented by the political ambitions
OF an individual, is rapidly assuming the
proportions of widespread revolt
against the government. Judging from
the latest news that comes across the
border. the trouble extends through the
zaba In the south TO Chihuahua in the
north, with evidences of unrest in Sonora
in the extreme northwestern part. and in
Yucatan in the southeastern. Both of
these latter provinces are traditional
trouble makers. The natives of Sonora.
better known as Yaqui Indians, are In
perpetual state OF protest against the
government. Most of the trouble that
President Diaz has had during his long
administration has been caused by the
refusal of these people to acknowledge
his rule. Virtually the same conditions
exist in Yucatan. which has been kept
under subsection only by incessant mill
tary pressure. II is within the bounds Of
possibility that if the disturbances In the
center of the country. extending as they
do along the geographical axis of Mexico
over a distance of $50 miles, call for the
services of troops at several points the
two troublesome provinces OF Sonora
and Yucatan will realize their opportuni-
~ to add to the general confusion. These
people however, are i'll prepared for
revolution. They have no modern arms
in sufficient number to render them a

Mulcahy used to be a man
OF mild and modest ways.
The talk of him most always ran
To kindness or to praise.
But we are positively panied
To see his manner now.
His pride is easily explained.
MuIcahy owns a cow.
The world with calm content he views,
Whatever it may do.
He has more milk than he can use (
And cream and butter, too.
We view him with suspicious eyes
And each is wondering how
He could deserve SO great a prize.
Mulcahy owns a COW!
Our jealousy it sure awakes

And see that bunch of sirloin steaks
For future reference.
The friends with whom he'd smoke ant

Have made q solem vow
To hate him for a plutocrat.

MARYLAND to Retain Six Members.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Maryland, according to the computa-
lions already made is in no Canger of
having her representation in Congress re-
duced by the reapportionment under the
census of 1910 Even if so highs ratio
as one representative to 225,UOO popula-
ton be adopted, the state would retain
ITS six membe.s. But, as shown by dis
patches to the Sun from Washington, the
ratio must be put at Il great deal lower
figure i'm order to prevent loss of rep
resentaticn by number of states. ms
gives rise to the belief that the proper
ton finally adopted will be no greater
than 2I5UOo to the member. Under that
appottionment Maryland would have to
show d gain of 203, 456 in population IN
order to have an additional member
Though the total census figures for the
state have not yet been announced, there
is little prospect that so great an In
crease will be recorded. SO that the
prospects are that the representation or
the state in the House will remain I'M
changed. The arrangement OF the dls-
ii lets, of course, rests with the lesisia..
ture of each state and Is not within the
purview of Congress.

Heretofore the Post Office Department

and their fanatical spirit render them

disturbance in the interior. 80.
The dispatches tell of calls for troops
from the governors of several provinces.
considerably separated. The Mexican
army on peace basis consists of about
5000 men and 900 officers. On a war
basis the nominal electives number about
5000 men. The army on a peace basis
would not spread out effectively IN case
OF an uprising covering half a dozen
provinces at the same time, and it may
be questioned whether in the event of
generai instruction enlargement to the
nominal war basis would be practicable
save by the recruiting of absolutely raw
material. An ugly note appears in one
of the dispatches from Chihuahua, where
it is reported that GOO soldiers. suspected
of disloyalty, have been disarmed as a
measure of precaution. while 1t Is further
reported that at Gomez Palacio 300 of the
federal troops have gone over to the In
surgents and joined in an attack on the
loyal forces at Torreon. an important
.ailroad point in the province of Goa
hula
Two facts add to the sinister aspect of
The situation. One is that the insurgents
have in many places cut the wires in
order to prevent the concentration of
troops, and the other is that there is un-
mistakabie evidence that the dispatches
from Mexico City are being rigidly CEN
sored, obviously to prevent the spread of
information regarding the true statement
of affairs. Thus what actually comes
over the line may be only a faint repre-
sentation of the existing conditions, while
at the same time this lack of reliable
knowledge regarding the state of affairs
is conducive to the spread of exaggerated
reports and renders it necessary to weigh
with the creates. care every scrap Of in
telligence that comes out of the troubled

Coming Senatorial Contests.

The Indiana democrats nave no Worries
on the score of the United States senator
ship they have captured. Thanks to the
leadership of Gov. Marshall, which
triumphed over that of Thomas Taggart,
the successor to Mr.. Beveridge awaits
his commission. He has already been
chosen. When the legislature meets the
expression by the democratic state con-
ventfon in favor of John w. Kern will
be ratified There will be no delay, no
interference with general business, no
danger of a scandal. The matter will
be disposed of in few hours.
Had the democrats of Ohio taken Mr..
Bryan's advice they also would be COM
Portable On similar score today. He
wanted them to express In state conven-
ton preference for senator, but Gov.
Harmon opposed, and the matter was
left open. The result is no little anxiety
in the state as to Mr.. Dicks successor.
The prize will go to the man best able
to handle the situation at Columbus when
the legislature meets. and that may mean
deadlock. and even something graver.
The Office is much coveted, and politics
in Ohio is played up to the limit.
The senatorial question is open also in
view OIh al ftOcHcSteT the WOTk OF
naming candidate for governor took up
all the time. And then there was little
thought OF controlling the legislature and
putting democrat in Mr.. Depew place.
Discussion Of the matter is bringing out
suggestions worthy of the occasion. The
best opinion is that the party will
blunder and suffer If it picks a man be-
low the intellectual standard of the office.
In New Jersey there is a mixed situa-
ton. Democratic aspirants for the sena-
torship were voted for at the primaries,
but nobody believes that the explosion
there recorded will have any influence
with the legislature. The question is re-
garded as open, and as likely to stir
Trenton to the center when the time
comes. James Smith, jr.. who once held
the office, wants 1T again, and as the
leading figure in Woodrow Wilson'S nomi-
nation and election to the governorship
should prove formidable in the contest.
But there are some strong democrats In
the state who would deplore his election,
and consider it injurious to both the
party and the new governor
Attention, then, will in a couple of
months be fixed on Albany, Trenton and
Columbus, and remain fixed until the sue
cessors of MIR. Depew, Mr. Kean and Mr..
Dick are named And every step taken
in the contests will be carefully noted

American Gold in British Politics.

American gold corrupting British poll
tics? John Redmond's collections over
here for the Irish cause enormous in
amount, and intended to break down the
British constitution? Such is the charge.
Well, turn about is fair play. Did We
not for years hear It stated that British
gold was In use for corrupting our poll
tics. and shaping our policies in behalf Of
Great Britain? Was not the so-called
crime of '73'' laid at the door of London
financiers operating through New York
agents?
How many American politicians of
prominence took that text, and acclaimed
upon il in Office and out. i'm season and
out, They talked as IL certain of their
ground. A listener might have supposed
they had witnessed the transaction-had
counted the coin. and seen 1t transferred
from British to American hands. and
heard the instructions to demonetize
silver or perish in the attempt.
As wild as the yarn was, it's repetition
made q sort OF impression, and ii had
to be noticed. Men and newspapers of
great influence gave it denial I'm the most
emphatic terms. and yet failed to put an
end 10 it. 1t persisted until only few
years ago.
Then there was the story that British
gold was supporting the democratic
movement for a revenue tariff. British
manufacturers had their eyes on the
American markets, and were willing to
pay handsomely to help lower the pro-
lection barriers. A revenue tariff strik-
Ing at all forms of protection would be
worth hundreds of millions of pounds to
foreign manufacturers, who were operat-
ing through American importers for anti
American ends.
Any port In storm. Any charge In a
pinch. In England as i'm America the
game of politics is played at times to the
limit. Men and newspapers of the first
class sometimes resort to reckless exag-
gerations in dealing with an emergency.
The silver men with us used John Bull
as DOGGY when they needed one. And
now the English in their parliamentary
crisis are using Uncle Sam for scare
crow purposes.
On this side the first maneuver failed.
While it led to much talk and more writ
ing, it did not embarrass the two gov
ernments or estrange the two peoples.
Shall we not see the second, the present,
maneuver fail on that side? The Irish in
America sympathize with their brethren
at home in their efforts for better gov
eminent, but they are not in pocket
enough TO control the British situation
through Mr.. Redmond, or any other
agency.
