Philadelphia's Great Fight.

During the next month great battle
for reform in city administration will
be fought in Philadelphia. George H.
Earle, jr., who has received the Repub-
lican nomination, will be opposed by
Rudolph Blankenburg, who is the can
didate of the independent and Demo-
cratic parties.
Despite the fact that in the primary
held last Saturday Mr.. Earle secured
no less than I9I 900 votes, while the
combined strength of his opponent was
only $4,000, the latter expresses conf
dence OF victory when the election is
held, on November J. 1t is difficult to
see, however, how he can obtain the
requisite majority. The primary vote
was $4,000, or only about 10000 less
than the entire registration, and it is
hardly to be expected that large num-
Der of Republicans will change their
votes upon election day. Philadelphia
is so firmly intrenched in its corrup-
ton that nothing short of a political
revolution can accomplish a change.
At the same time, practically all of
the Philadelphia newspapers are sup
porting Blankenburg, upon the ground
that the time has come for honest gov
ernment in the city. Their influence
should be effective, and, even if the
election soon to be held does not bring
about the desired reform, there will
come a time when the conditions which
have made Philadelphia a by-word
among municipalities will be changed.
Reforms cannot be accomplished in 4
day, and it is a matter of congratula-
ton that Blankenburg's vote was so
large. 1t means that Philadelphia is
experiencing an awakened conscience. .

Winfield Scott Schley.

The sudden death of Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley ends a career
which was an ornament to the United
States navy.
In Washington, where Admiral
Schley made his home, and where he
had a wide circle of friends, the news
of his demise appeals with especial
sadness His lovable temperament
made him always a welcome addition
to the social circle, while his wide ex-
perience in every quarter of the globe
and his ripe judgment gave to his con-
versation something more than merely
perfunctory value He was, wHhal, of
modest and unassuming character, and
he combined with his knowledge of the
world an old-fashioned courtesy OF
manner that was as delightful as it
is rare.
Admiral Schley's record in the navy
was one that could we'll afford him a
sense of profound satisfaction. Not
only did he admirably perform the usual
duty which befalIs an officer of the
navy, but when called upon for an un-
usual performance, such as the relief
OF the Greely expedition, he accom-
plished his work with great wisdom
and courage 1t is true that during the
war with Spain he was the victim OF
contemplate jealousy which sought
to rob him of honors justly won. No
one can recall without indignation, even
after the lapse of years, the effort to
prove him both incapable and cowardly,
His previous unimpeached record belied
the charges when they were made, and
time has proven that they found their
inspiration in a spirit of envy.
Admiral Schley happily lived long
enough to see the discontinue of his
detractors. 1t was characteristic Of the
generous spirit of the man that he
treated with forgiving kindness those
who had endeavored to lower him II,

gears, or else they like to hear the
rapid, shotgun-like reports made by the
engine, and they care little or nothing
for the effect upon other people. Prac-
ticaIly all of the motor cars, when oper-
ated by those who are familiar with
them, can be started quietly, and they
can be run almost silently upon any hill
in the city. 1t would be good thing
if the police authorities would make a
few examples of the careless and in
different autoists who delight in max
ing unnecessary noise. The action
would have a salutary effect.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
An Audience of 1000 People Greet
Him in Houston.
From the Houston Post.

From the Houston Post.
Over 1000 people. about 2,OCO of whom
were white, thronged the City Auditorium
last night and listened for two hours to
Booker T. Washington, the well-known
negro educator, deliver one of the sanest
and most helpful addresses on the rela-
ton of the white and black races in the
South that has ever been heard in the
city. White and black Joined in vigorous
applause throughout the address, show
ing perfect accord in their Endorsement
Of the sentiment of the speaker. and
at times the great audience was swayed
by such enthusiasm as to make 1t difficult
for DR.. Washington to proceed.
DR.. Washington spoke to his race frank
ly, and he spoke to the white people
present frankly. He declared that the
two races have to live together in peace,
and that on the whole they are living
together in peace. He advised his peo-
pie to be good workmen, to make them
selves good workmen in so many lines
that they would become indispensable to
the white man. He exhorted them to
save their money. to accumulate property,
to be good husbands and wives and
fathers and mothers, and, above all, to be
good citizens. And all Of this was ap-
plauded to the echo by both white and
black

that there will be from ten to twenty

On the bill with Conroy and Morecroft
are four other acts that constitute an
excellent show by themselves. The Gayety
Trio is a real headliner. Its singing and
comedy work stands out ahead of any
thing in this line that popular-price
vaudeville has developed for Washington.

The District and Congress

We must be pardoned if we decline
to display alarm over the possibility
of an immediate disturbance of the
financial relations between the District
of Columbia and the Federal govern
ment. 1t is inconceivable to think
that a system which has been in
existence for more than thirty years
and which has proven advantageous to
both parties will be swept aside in the
twinkling of an eye.
No doubt there are members of Con-
gress who believe that Washington
should bear all of its municipal ex-
penses. There were some who held to
that belief when the plan was first in
augurated At various times during the
interval since 1874 sporadic suggestions
have been made to the same effect.
They have never been entertained
seriously, however, and their advocacy
has been confined to a small minority.
Even if some Representatives who
hdPPCIl " OSNuPg POSlllOllo NlCI Gil
their interest in local affairs is neces-
sarily acute should again agitate a
change, it does not follow that they will
command a majority for its adoption.
Certainly, no measure of such radical
nature would be passed by the House
without very thorough consideration
of all its details, and honest discussion
would undoubtedly help the Districts
cause
Then, too. the organic act cannot be
repealed without the consent of the
Senate; so that even if the House
should act afirmatively, the obstacle of
the Senate would still be interposed. It
is not probable that the Senate will
agree TO disturb the foundation upon
which the splendid development of
the National Capital has been so firmly
erected. We agree, of course, that any
change in the present relations between
the District land the Federal govern
ment would be serious matter, and
ought not. in justice to both parties.
be allowed to prevail But the danger
does not seem to be as imminent as
some would have us believe.

Slump in Tattoo Trade.

From the Boston Transcript.
Our friends the tattooed men appear to
have fallen on evil days. One Of them
has been caught thieving and sent to
Blackwell's Island. Another has just
committed suicide. Considering the proud
and opulent existence that was formerly
enjoyed by tattooed men, this suggests a
most shocking reversal of fortune. Such
is actually the case, and the cause is
economic. Time was when a man Of
ordinary circumference and area could
invest $50 in sTbcutaneous pictures, and
sit still the rest of his life, earning 5000
year and the awe-struck admiration Of
the public. This continued for a space.
Then competition set in. Overproduc-
ton followed. Salaries fell. A tattooed
couple are now worth but $50 a week

Unnecessary Automobile Noise.

Does the average citizen know that
the opening OF the mufler, or cut
out" of an automobile in the city is
absolutely unnecessary and uncalled
for? Does he know that there is a law
which forbids the opening of the muf-
fer in the District?
A freight train starts with much
noise. 1t cannot be moved otherwise.
There is no reason, howevsF, why the
streets of Washington should resemble
freight yards, because the nuisance of
the noisy automobile is both unneces-
sary and illegal If any driver of a
car should, just before starting his ma
chine, beat with a hammer upon a tin
pan, he would be taken into court He
ought to be dealt with in the same
fashion when he inficts upon a CON-
munity an ear-splitting, nerve-racking
disturbance which can easily be avoided,
Aggravating as the nuisance is dur
ing the daytime, it becomes a positive
infiction at night, especially in the quiet
and residence sections of the city.
There is a hill, for instance, at the
northern end of Connecticut avenue, in
the neighborhood of which are large
apartment houses and many residences.
Almost invariably every autoist ascend
ing this hill cuts out his muff1er and
fills the air with a reverberation that
can be heard for a mile, even at I
or o'clock in the morning. Every one
knows that there is no necessity for
throwing open the mufaer in a big so
horsepower machine. The driver will
say that it eases the engine and gives
it more power, but, as matter of fact,
he has power enough if he will drop
into his second speed, If this is not
sufficient, let him drep into his third
speed. He ought to be made to keep
his foot of the eut-out

gard for the comfort and quiet Of

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

TROUBLES IN LAYING THE
ATLANTIC CABLE.

ATLANTIC CABLE
Cyrus Field labored incessant-
ly for twelve years ands made
fifty voyages across the Allan
tic before he finally succeeded
in accomplishing his great work
of laying a cable across the
ocean. The first cable was COM
pleted August 5. 1858. After a
short time 1t ceased to work, and
the friends of the enterprise were
greatly disheartened. The civil
war came on. making further
progress impossible for the time.
But Field held on. and in 1855
the second cable was begun. AZ
ter the Great Eastern had pro-
ceeded 1900 miles on her way,
unwinding this second cable. 1t
parted. Still Field persevered,
though $1,000. 900 had been sunk
in the enterprise. In July. 1885,
a third cable. 1000 miles long.
was coiled on the Great Eastern
and she started once more
across the Atlantic. This time
the experiment was q complete
success.
