Bread Tires for City Pavements. Jersey City is about to put into force a set of rules regulating traffic on the strezts paved with asphalt, the desire being to minimize the amount of wear on the sur- faces caused by the passage of heavily loaded wagons. These rules do not apply in quite the same degree to Washington, the streets of which are not subject to much traffic such as that which conges's the thoroughfares of the large commoerzlal cities of the country. But it is important to note that there is a means of regulating the matter, and it would be well for the local authorities to consider the case. By these rules all vehicles with a total weisat of more than 2,000 pounds that use tires less than three inches broad are excluded altogether from streets paved with asphalt. Where the load exceeds 4,000 pounds the tres must be not less than five inches broad, and from that point the following scale is established: 5,000 pounds, 6 inches; 6,000 pounds, 7 inches; 7,000 pounds, §& inches; and so on, an inch being added for each additional thousand pounds. A yen- alty of from $ to $25 fine is provided for each violation. The purpose of these rules, of course, is to reduce the cutting effect of narrow tires sustaining heavy weign‘s. There is practically no serious damage done to a well laid asphalt surface by the ordinary street traffic. A heavy truck, however, will cut ruts and grooves into the asphalt in the middle of the day, when the sun's heat softens the material somewhat, and these indentations form the starting points of large holes. A single trip by a truck of this description will in fact bezin the work of destruction that will eventually cost the city hundreds of dollars in re- pairs. The Star has more than oree called attention to the need of some regulation that would tend to reduce the burden to the taxpayers caused by the free «nd unre- Btricted use of certain streets by heavy, A short time ago the herdics were withdrawn from the old lines, but since then a new line covering a limited route has been organized and the menace to the street surfaces in a small degree continues to exist. With broader tires than those now used, adjusted to weights ac- cording to some such schedule as that pro- posed in Jersey City, the damage could readily be reduced, but even this would rot be a wholly equitable condition. If :um>r- ous heavy coaches are io run on stated routes, involving the steady use of certain Streets from day to day, they should be taxed in return for the privilege of thus servirg as a transportation medium, the tax to represent in a measure the cost of keeping the streets so used in good repair. ——_+ + Not So Much Under Fire. While the populists, especially in Kansas, centinue abusive, and Mr. Teller now joins in their chorus, the courts of late have not figured as prominently in the indictments drawn by the discontented as they did last year. And yet they have not been idle. Unfortunately, labor troubles have caused appeals to be made for injunctions, and here and there injunctions have been granted. But, upon the whole, these pro- cesses have been well received and promptly obeyed. Even Mr. Debs, though still com- plaining of such interference, has expressed himself on the subject in terms, compara- tively, of moderation. It is also to be observed that in those platforms adopted by democratic state con- ventions which re-affirm the Chicago plat- form, specifications which follow do not include last year’s thrust at the courts. Free silver, a revenue tariff, an income tax, trusts, all are mentioned, but no fling at the courts appears. In Virginia last week Senator Daniel was the ruling spirit of the democratic convention, and shaped the platform adopted, and the courts were not mentioned. Free silver, a revenue tariff, and an income tax were advocated, and trusts were denounced, but no refer- ence whatever was made to “government by injunction.” Mr. Daniel is a lawyer, and presided over the Chicago convention. Is this an intentional moderation of last year’s sweeping crusade? If so, the coun- try is to be congratulated. As warmly as men may combat the propositions for free coinage, a revenue tarif’ and an income tax, it cannot be denied that they are all legitimate subjects for political contro- versy. A campaign may legitimately be made on them. Those who advocate them have a perfect right to ask a decision on any one or all of them at the polls. But the courts are not, and should not be made, subjects for political embroilment: While not above criticism, and, of course, not above error, they are yet not properly within the range of the agitator or the popular stumper, nor should they be used by him for ringing hoarse and coarse changes on the exciting topics of a rough- and-tumble campaign. There can be no doubt of the fact that the assault of the democracy last year on the judiciary cost it many votes. It helped materially to point out the danger of the combination; and if the silver men are be- ginning to realize the fact it shows a change for the better. ——__- +e —__ ‘The duel between the Count of Turin and Prince Henri has aroused hysterical inter- st in France and Italy. One of Europe's chief needs is a base-ball league upon which to work off superfluous enthusiasm. — +0ee —___ Mr. Croker is one of several politicians who would rather be inconspicuous than tun the risk of needlessly irritating antag- factions. he Native Army of India.” The uneasiness felt in England with regard to affairs in India lends much in- terest to an article in the current number lackwood’s under the title of “The Native Army of India." The size of the army, its divisions, the soldierly character- istics of the different tribes represented, nd the security of the comparatively small number of Englishmen living in the coun- try, are all touched upon. A comparison ts made bet..een the condi- ions of forty years ago and the conditions of today. In 1857 there were In India 38,000 British and 345,000 native troops, the for- mer handling 276 field-guns, and the latter 248. The natives in arms then stood to the whites as ten to one ,and were almost equal in the matter of artillery. Today, the proportions are 73,000 British, with 88 bat- teries of artillery of six guns each, and, ine.uding the imperial service troops, 165,000 natives and 14 batteries. So that, now, the natives in arms stand to the whites as only 2% to one, while the artillery in the hands of the natives is only one-sixth of all in the country. It is thus to be seen that the whites in the time stated have materially increased their power. They have likewise, this author believes, greatly benefited by improvements that have been made in the management of the whole military estab- Ushment of the colony, which have simpli- fied the old arrangement and invested the commander-in-chief with more authority. A tareé meed of praise is bestowed upon the natives in arms. They are described as gcod fighters and full of endurance. The Gurkhas, the Sikhs, the Dogras, and other tribes are mentioned by name, and instan:es are cited where in battle they proved them- selves worthy to stand by thé side of the pick of the British. Some have dash, others patience, under fire, and all have the qual- ity of closing with an enemy whenever he appears. But, as this author holds, the native needs to be ted. “When placed in a com- manding position he lacks self-reliance, the ready assumption of responsibility, the capacity for organization, the eagerness to assume the initiative, all of which are essential to a leader of men. This fact was the secret of our (the English) success against the Indian peoples while still un- conquered; it was equally the secret of the failure of the Indian mutiny, and it is the secret at once of the strength and of the weakness of our present military system.” The writer in Blackwocd's, however, does not seem to take into account the proba- bility that in, forty years the higher grade of the East Indians may have advanced in the matter of ability to command. They have been at the closest range to a tace of fighters in whom the art of command is wonderfully developed. They may have learned more than Englishmen are aware of, or may be willing to allow. At any rate, superior a3 the whites undoubtediy are in leadership and organization, another meeting in India, with the natives so well schooled now in the art of war, is not to be censidered even without the gravest anx- iety. ——_++e____- Prince Henry Pinked. The widely advertised duel between Prince Henry of Orleens and the Count of Turin was fought near Paris yesterday. The only persons present were the princi- pals, their seconds, and the surgeons, and hence the story of the encounter to which the public is treated comes from sources interested in giving a full measure of dig- nity to the affair. And so we have it from these sources that the young men behaved well on the field, that they fought with an energy approaching fury, and that the bringing of Prince Henry to the ground with his second wound alone stopped the ccmbat. The Count of Turin received a cut on his sword hand, but of a slight nature. There seems to be a slight con- flict between the statement that Prince Henry’s wound may prove to be very serious and the statement that he was-soon on his feet and walked without assistance to his carriage, but the Prince’s time in bed will settle that. He owes it to himself and all concerned not to get up too soon, but everybody will wish to see him up again. Such an affair as this cannot be treated scriously on this side of the water, al- though it is not difficult to understand the European appraisement of it. Rome is re- pcrted to be in a fever of delight over the result. So great was the excitement, in- deed, when the news was first received, that police protection was thrown around the French Legation there. Evidently there was fear that the people might offer some offense to the French Ambassador, who, by the way, represents nothing for which Prince Henry stands, but the very opposite. There is no word from Paris, but probably the feeling there is confined to a regret at Prince Henry's poor swords- manship. Some national pride must have entered into the matter, and some desire been felt that the Prince should exhibit on the field not only courage, but a soldier's measure of skill with a soldier’s weapon. Meanwhile what has been settled be- yend the Covnt of Turin’s superior skill or Ivck with the sword? The matter of Italian courage cn French soil was not in ques- tion. but that of Italian courage in Abys- sinia before King Menelek’s army was. Has that stigma, if stigma ever attached, been removed? And what of Prince Henry? Does this thrust in the stomach let him off? Or must he go on meeting irate Ital- ians, from royalty down to lieutenants of the line, until he disposes of them, or until one of them disposes of him? It is a com- Plicated matter from the American point of view. —_s>+o—____ The Eduentional Convention. The proposition to have $10,000 subscribed for the entertainment of the National Edu- cational Association in Washington on the occasion of its convention next year should call forth a prompt response, especially on the part cf those to whom it will come as a business matter promising a profitable re- turn on the investment. The local execu- tive committee having charge of the pre- liminary arrangements for the convention must be assured that they can raise this sum of money before they can take further steps to secure the meeting of the conven- tion here. Delay in providing the neces- sary funds will give other cities competing for the privilege of having the convention additional opportunities for securing it. ‘The cities other than Washington that desire the prize are Omaha, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, so that if any one of them is successful no railroad entering this city will be benefited to any considerable extent in handling the thousands of educa- ters who will attend the convention. The street railroad companies and the hotels here should all be alert as a business mat- ter in having a gathering of 35,000 or 40,- 00 people in the city for a week or more in the dull season of the year. If these in- terests which will be materially benefited by the meeting of the convention here will respond promptly to the call for subscrip- tions, they will greatly strengthen the local committee, which ts doing all it can to secure the meeting of the convention at ‘the capital. ——_+e—___ Electric Light Bil While the war between the two electric light companies in the District of Columbia is waging the patrons of these corporations should be wise in their day and generation. In their battle for supremacy cheap rates will be the weapons wielded by these com- ; panies against each other, and other things being equal, the company giving the cheap- er rates and having the ability to keep up the warfare the longer will be successful. But what then? Will the survivor, if there is but one, proceed to reimburse itself for its losses through the additional profits of increased rates for electric lighting? The possibility of such a contingency should suggest to all those whose patronage is be- ing so eagerly sought by the rivals the ad- visability of securing permanent conces- sions of cheaper rates, so that when the war is over they will not have to pay its expenses through increased electric light bills. ——>oo>—____ The X-ray ts sald to be in use by the cus- toms authorities im France.

An American citizen who has spent much time in the course of his travels among the Moorish cities, has written to a relative in this country asking him to use his large in- fluence to secure the retention in office of the present consul general at Tangier. This request“is based upon impersonal motives, it would seem, and seeks to prevent the re- currence of certain disgraceful episodes That have seriously marred the effective- ness of the American consulate officials in the north Africa region. Without regard for the fortunes of the incumbent of this Gilice, It is worth while to consider the rea- sons that have led up to this request. It appears that in the past men have been ap- pointed to these positions entirely through political influence. The opportunities for corruption in Morocco and the neighboriag countries are unusually great. Unfortu- nately the very factors that lead to the selection of these consular officers tend to keep them in office even when they fall un- der suspicion. They rely upon their “pull.” The present consul-general, it is said, has ignored the many chances to dispose of the favors of his administration for cash and has conducted himself in a diplomiatic, hon- orable manner. Hence the petition for his retention now forwarded by an American. The plain remedy for such disgraceful conditions, if they really exist, and there is reason to believe that they do exist, is to place the entire consular and diplomatic service upon a civil service reform hasts. It must come, sooner or later, if the United States hopes to conduct its international af- fairs on an equality with the other nations of the world. It must come if this coun try is to retain its prestige abroad. There are many reasors why the same rules that now govern the internal administration of the nation, based upon personal worth and fitness, should speedily be extended to that branch of public endeavor that deals with the other great families of the world. In- deed in many respects as between the two evils it would be safer for the nation to have the spoils system again in force in the departmental administration and the merit and retention system in vogue in the diplo- matic and consular service. ——_~++s—____ The German Emperor's new battle-car cost a great deal of money and is full of deadly ingenutty.
