Sectio: The Attorney General's opinion in the matter of section 22 of the Dingley ‘tariff law is doubtless a scund piece of reasoning. Mr. McKenna’s experience as lawyer, legis- later and judge enabled him to grasp the question in all of its bearings, and to deal with it in its largest significance. The whole matter, in effect, nas been refer back to Congress. and in all probability discussion of it, and maybe some action, will be taken by that body at the coming ssion. Turning from the purely iegal phase of the question, into which only trained law- yers may safely hope to enter, and consid- ering otner phases of it within the general reach, it is a good thing to see this im- portant matter brought out sharply for general discussion. It is agreed that sec- tion 22 was aimed at the Canadian Pacific railroad, which is a rival for business with railroads in the United States. But it is true that discriminating duties had only been considered as a feature to help re- establish the American merchant marine. The s Louis platform promised to “re- store the early American policy of dizcrim- inating duti for the upbuilding of cur merchant marine and the protection of our shipping in the foreiga trade.” and Mr. McKinl-y, in his letter of acceptance, said: “The policy ef discriminating duties in fa- vor of our shipping which prevailed in the early years of our history should be again promptly adopted by Congress." How far railroad transpertation eaters into the mn is now for the first time fully un- d hence Congress ought to be provided with opportunity to pass specifi- on that point. “The upbuilding of our merchant marine” is a widely extended tion, and a wise and just pol: find general acceptance. whatever is should and in the significance of section was not gen- erally understood at the time ef its enact- ment. This may be asserted without charging anybody with a trick, or w in benefits under false pre- Surely, when the discovery of so important a matter in the tariff bill came as a surprise to both Speaker Reed ana Mr. Dingle jt cannot be denied that this ¥ ph of the bill escaped the attention to which it was entitled. But everything stands forth in clear outline now, and if Congress considers it necessary and proper to extend the scope of discriminating du- ties let it say so in plain term: —————— The Trespass on Aqueduct Bridge. Om the basis of the decision rendered yes- terday by Judge Mills in the Police Court the Commissioners have ample authority to control the use of the Aqueduct bridge by the street railway companies, and the corporation that tried to force its way upon the bridge without permission has no stand- ing whatever. It appears from the court's review of the records that no license has ever been issued from the War Department to enable the company to cross the bridge with tracks, and furthermore that the Commissioners are by the statutes given control over the structure so far as the su ion of all proposed construction plans that affect it is concerned. It is plain that the company hoped to make a dash and secure a feothold upon the bridge be- fore the authorities of either the nation or the District could intervene, just as the Gien Echo company a few days before tovk advantage of the lack of a patrol at the former terminus of its line and unlaw- fully entered the District with a track for which no permit had been given. The Glen Echo road has subsequently been granted a retroactive permit for this construction, already accomplished. Presumably the Falls Church road hoped to secure just such an uniawful indulgence after the ac The Commissioners as well as the Secre- y of War can and must prevent such pspasses on zovernment property, but neither, in the absence of specific authority granted by congressional legislation, could s. The doctrine pomt taid down by the Suareme Court of the Umited States is clear and un- anistakable. _——seo—____ prompt and unanimous ratification of the ireaty of annexation by the Ha- Walian senate, news of which appears in another column, puts the case in good shape for early action by the corresponding body of the national legislature of this country at its next session.

The recent excitement in the City of Mexico calls special attention to our neigh- bor to the south. Mexico has emerged from a@ chaotie state that was characterized by frequent revolutions and has found pros- perity and progress in a policy of Stability. ‘The president is a man of uncommon quali- ties. He has brains, nerve, tact and shrewd- ness. He has secured the respect of his people and at the same time has taken steps to prevent successful uprisings against his rule. Virtually, though not nominally, a Cictator, he has conserved every item of his official prestige and power to strengthen bis position, encouraging American capi- talists to enter his domains to build rail- roads and to develop the vast riches of the mines, and thus giving him possessien of a Powerful machine for the government of his country. The railroads that have been built, almost wholly through American en- terprise, have covered practically every section of the country. By their means the President.is able to choke off the rebellious at short notice. The telegraph gives him instant notice of a tendency to revolt: sol- diers are poured upon the conspirators, the insurrection is quelled before it has become generally known, and before it has spread. beyond the original few plotters. Thus the railroads aad the telegraph lines constructed by northern capital enable the executive to ensure to the investors a condition of com- Parative peace, such as can not be guaran- teed to capitalists who seek profits in the countries further south. This co-operation has given Diaz a great power. He comes from the people, and is proud of his Indian blood. The Indians are today stronger in Mexico than those of pure Spanish extraction. This is the day of the Mexican, and the fidelity with which Diaz has clung to ihe native traditions of bis land has giver, him prestige among his people. This may account in a measure for the rage of the people of the capital the other day, when it became known than a man had raised his hand against the presi- dent. An effurt was made by the authorities to minimize the affair. The assault was even said to have been the effort of the assail- 2pi to embrace Diaz, in a moment of ex- vessive patriotism, aided by over-indulgence in pulque. The report was sent forth that, after examination, the man had been re- leased from custody as a harmless char- acter of eccentric manners. It was a shrewd move, though it did not calm the populace. It is highly desirable that the government should seek to discourage the notion that there is any tendency in Mexico to seek the death of the ruler. Heretofore Diaz has been quite free from such danger, ané his personal movements have not been accompanied by the fear of assassination. The power of suggestion was recognized, and to offset it the government apparently. hoped to create the impression that the act of independence day was that of a harmless enthusiast. It would be most un- fortunate for Mexico if there should now exist or should develop a spirit of an- archism in the country, seeking the death of the president and the creation of politi- cal chaos, to which such a tragedy would surely tend. —___ e» —_____ Great Britain in India. The border tribesmen in India who have taken the field against the British are causing a great deal more trouble than was at first thought possible. They are rallying in such numbers and showing such prep- arations for war as to suggest a widespread and well organized conspiracy, encouraged from a quarter higher than their own. The Ameer of Afghanistan has been suspected of being the inspiring force, but he protests that he is innocent. Russia is likewise sus- pected, but, as usual, she has given no warrant for more than a suspicion. She plays all of her games with adroitness, and in that part of the world particularly has occasion for the exercise of her best talents. She has long been eager to push her line forward there, and little doubt exists that if she can use those border tribes now or at any time to her advantage she will do so. But Great Britain has so much at stake, and is so watchful and resonrceful, she is not likely to be taken at a disadvantage. Every English-speaking friend of civiliza- tion must wish her success in the engage- ment, no matter what the scope or signifi- cance of the revolt may be. Her power in India has operated only for good. From the days of Clive she has done for that country what no other nation could have done. Its development. all things consid- ered, has been one of the wonders of Brit- ish accomplishment. Some of her best gifts as a colonizer have. been exercised there, and the land today, with its natural pro- ductiveness in trained and capable hands, and its native population enjoying the benefits of good rule, is a monument to the genius of the English people for organizing and sustaining government. Russia is Great Britain's only possible rival in that quarter of the globe, and as between those two powers, Great Britain's continued control in India, with all that it promises and implies, is greatly to be de- sired, not only in India’s interests, but in the interests of progress thereabouts. We may with justice criticise Great Britain's highhandedness in many things, and with ssert our own suprem in affairs on this side of the water, without withdrawing our sympathy with her in whatever struggle she may be called upon to make to sustain herself in India, or er else she has the right to be, as against any of the powers of Europe. ee More Reckless Driving. icyele rider was run down and seri- y hurt yesterday by a rapidly driven ery wagon. Accord to the reports the accident was due solely to the careiess of the driver. This is the s jar instance within a few da to be remembered that the stre; set apart for the special benefit of any class of vehicles.

The wheel user must be particularly considered because in particular preserves and all bicyclists and pedestrians as trespassers. a great majority of cases where collisions oceur it is the person on tne bicycle who gets the worst of the shock. The wheel- man can, as a rule, avoid obstructions more readily than can a driver, but he runs a far greater risk of suffering serious bodily injury or even death, while his prep- erty is in danger to a larger extent. ‘These + 0 facts tend to suggest that the check of police supervision should be applied with severity to those drivers who show a dis- position to regard the streets as their own The Moral of a Successful Test. Yesterday's test over the Eckington street railway line showed that the air motor can run satisfactorily over at least one section of that road on a single charge, drawing a | heavy extra burden, stopping and starting at intervals and completing the run with stored air sufficient to carry the car a mile and a half further. If this performance be accepted as typical of the motor and as indicative of its capacity under general conditions it is proper to ask what on now exists for tearing up the sur- of the city in order to supply pipes along the line. If the power station in Eckington is sufficient, as the test indi- cates, for ail the purposes of the line that runs thence into the city and to Brook- ad, what ground is there for the re- ceiver’s demand for a permit to lay pipes under the streets to allow the re-charging of the motor at the terminus and at stated intervais along the line? The test and the street-disturbance proposition do not hang together and the Commissioners should take note of the fact. ———s eo—___.

The following dispatch was printed in last evening's edition, Madrid: “The queen regent has ordered that spe- cial surveillance be exercised at the Span- ish ports en all arrivals from United States ports, in consequence of the outbre: of yellow fever in some of the southern states.” The latest issue of the “Public Health Reports,” issued weekly by the Marine Hespital Service in this city, contains a table showing the number of deaths in the clty of Havana during the past six weeks. It states that in the period named there have been 151 deaths from yellow fever in that city, an average of more than 25 deaths each week. Doubtless other deaths shculd have been aseribed to the same dis- ease, but according to the statement of the official seading the report many yellow fever deaths were given under the head of enteric fever and enteritis. Notwith- standing this subterfuge it appears that under the date of ee A oe the disease against which Spain now de- clares a virtual quarantine agaihst the United States cn account of a slight out- break in the Gulf region—which was prob- ably derived directly from Havana itself —is epidemic in the Cuban capital, and will always be present qs long as the inefficient methods of government now in vogue are maintained. The death rate of Havana during the six weeks included in this re- port was 83.67 per thousand of population. ‘The average death rate of a cleanly, healthy American city ranges from 15 to 25. When the rate reaches 25 it alarms the authorities. When 30 is reached symp- toms of panic begin to appear. At 83.67 the whole country would be aroused, and the most severely remedial measures would be in course of application. Yet Spain con- tirues at tne very doors*of this nation a pest hole that is a disgrace to civilization, , while the self-complacent government at Madrid, with delightful indifference to the facts, orders a quarantine against the en- tire United States because of the preva- lence of a few sporadic cases of the fever within a practically limited district, causing less than twenty-five deaths since the dis- ease was first brought into fhe country, presumably from the breeding ground of the germs that Spain herself is now main- taining close at hand. ——-+-—___ Spain's quarantine against American yel- low faver indicates the national desire to ward off all things American, filibusters and diplomatic intervention included, rather than any fear that the Cuban brand of yellow fever carrot more than hold its own in the face of American competition. ———>eo___ Hereafter when Sheriff Martin veads a proclamation demanding peace ani good order he shculd not neglect to make him- self heard by the men on all sides of him. ——_ee- The Spanish government's notes of de- flance are not likely to cut nearly as much of a figure in history as its promissory netes. ———s+o—____- It is denied that Commissioner Butter- werth was robbed at a seaside resort in aby other than the usual way. * —+ +e —____.

From the Chicago Record, The state federation of labor in session at Bloomington has added its indorsements to the agitation for the establishment of postal savings banks. Wherever working- men speak the voice is the same. The Rec- ord has prinied hundreds of expressions of opinion from workingmen in favor of the system. Local unions in large numbers have indorsed the movement looking to its establishment. Other state and national conventions as they meet should also take action along the same line. Especially shouid the American federation of labor, which meets In December, take a strong position in favor. of postal savings banks. ‘The cemand for their establishment should be reiterated so persistently that Congress cannot longer ignere the subject. —_——_ eo —___ Wanted—A Good Rend Law. From the Columbia, 8. C., State. We can have and ought to have one general, comprehensive road law, elastic enough to be capable of application every- where and ye. rigid enough to do away with the abuses of the present system. This law should first of all abolish the farce of “road duty’? and substitute for it a poll tax, a tax on property and a tax on vehicles of ali kinds. Let money be re- quired instead of the pretense of labor, and let it be expended systematically and in accordance with a definite plan. This, with the enforced labor of county convicts, will give all parts of the state improved roads. The brains of members of the gen- eral assembly can be put to no better use between now and next January than \in framing road laws.
