And the watchman tells the truth. So far as the democratic nomination is concerned, all 4s well with Mr. Bryan. The Dewey boom, incended to injure him, has served, om the contrary, to light up the dark places Produce ft were, ac can afford where the sappers and miners are at work, and to show how little progress they have made and can hope to make against him. Mr. Bryan, indeed, is the better off, so far as his own party is concerned, by the shying of the admiral's chapeau into the ring. Not that he needed any assistance to the nomination of his party, but he did need confirmation of rumors of insincerity which he had been receiving from time to ime as to certain leaders in his party who had been professing loyalty to him. That confirmation he now has, and he may be trusted to use the information for his own welfare. : The Dewey boom summed up in this: If Senator Jones, on any account, should excuse himself from conducting this year's campaign for the democracy, his successor will hardly be Mr. Gorman or John R. McLean. Self- preservation Is the first law of politics, and Mr. Bryan knows the law. ———— The Quayites Still Pursue Him. ‘The pursuit of Mr. Vest by the Quay peo- ple is one of the curious features of current polities. If an extreme term were nece: sary, it might properly be described as in- decent. Having failed to corral him when the yote was taken In the Senate on the Quay case, they seek him out now for such explanations of his attitude then as will afford him opportunity to testify afresh to his cordial personal regard for his former senatorial associate. He makes the de- sired explanations without hesitation, and in the hearty fashion of the man. Whether he, a democrat, relishes being roped tn for a part in a republican contest in Pennsyl- vania fs something that he probably would not care to have too deeply probed. But it must be said of him that, as an old cam- paigner, he carries himself well in the dif- ficulty, and, though he was unable to vote for his friend, he does as well by him now as possible for all the rest. And this is In the line of the true Swivellerian philosophy, for “what is the odds so long as the fire of the soul is kindled at the taper of convivial- ity, and the wing of friendship never molts a feather?” The Quay people, from the outset, have had a queer opinion of Mr. Vest—one that did neither themselves nor him any honor. The views of the Missouri senator on the question of the power of the governor of a state to appoint a United States senator therefore may be were well known. He had made them known in the public debates of the Senate, and by several times, and they were agains case which Mr. Quay was himself pi g. But, nevertheless, the Quay people were positive that Mr. Vest would reverse himself and support Mr. Quay. Wh: Because, as they stated themselves, Mr. Vest was one of Mr. Quay’s closest friends; had visited him at n Fiorida and fished with him, and broken his bread and slept in his beds. ot vote for his host? Not discharge an obligation of that kind by so simple a mat- ter as the surrender of an opinion? Why, Mr. Quay would do that much readily for Mr. Vest. Was the Missouri senator to be pected of a want of common gratitude? Mr. Vest voted according to his convic- ions, and in doing so rebuked the whole place following. He rebuked Mr. Quay himself, who, after voting to keep Mr. Cor- bett, a gubernatorial appointee, out of the snate, was asking admission now for him- on a much weaker case. Mr. V. would be glad to see Mr. Quay triumph in his cm before the people at home. The republ of Pennsylvania can afford to Teceive that assurance with complacency. +++ Allen's Inaugural. Governor Allen's inaugural address to the people of Porto Rico, delivered at San Juan today, was just the sort of utterance to eause the inhabitants to appr aie the benefits conferred upon them by the new sovereignty. It bespoke the kind Intentions of the United States, breathed the sprit of brotherhood and “freedom and urged the necessity of harmonious efforts on the part of all the people to give the best possible interpretation to the constitutional founda- tion laid by Congre: For, as Governor Allen well said, governments are made by the people and not by enactments. The success or the failure of the civil govern- ment plan Will depend upon the intelligent co-operation which the Porto Ricans them- selves give to the administrative efforts of those chosen to execute the laws. From this day forward the Islanders will find themselves with an {ncreasing responsibil- ity. Between them and absolute inde- pendence there stretches a slight yet potent barrier of authority vested in the federal government at Washington. Such a barrier is essentlal to entire safety. It ts em- bodied in the person of the governor, who stands as a splendid type of American intelligence and tolerance and capacity. His warm words of encouragement to his people, spoken today, should lead to a bet- ter understanding of the governmental pur- poses and to a hearty observance of all the duties which the new sovereignty imposes upon both the islanders and the mainland- ers. The people of Porto Rico are to be congratulated upon being given as first civil governor a man who is capable of such a broad, clear concepiion of his duties and opportunities as today's inaugural address shows Governor Allen to be. —__—_+ +e —__ Ten Years for the 520 Percenter. The New York court before ch Mil- ler, the 520 per cent broker, was tried, fm- posed upon that enterprising young man the extreme penalty of ten years’ imprison- ment. Severe though this punishment may appear it does not really approximate the burden that the convicted man has earned by his swindling operations. It is impossi- ble to estimate the harm he did. No one yet knows just how much money he accu- mulated through his alluring offers to all patrons to make for them a profit of 10 per cent a week on their investments. . Of course no one can even guess as to the suffering his fraud caxised among the poor victims. If some of thé cases which were revealed after his collapse may be consid- ered as fair types, the evil effects of this man’s fraud in their full measure must constitute a veritable catastrophe. Whole families were wrecked financially. In some cases men Were even tempted to peculate in order to raise funds for the tempting “‘In- vestment.” It will require years for some of the households to recover their financial equilibrium. The small savings of servants were swept away. And only a mofety of all the hundreds of thousands poured into this rat hole was recovered. Such crimes can not be adequately punished. —————+ +> _____ The English people have forged another link in the chain which holds Ireland fast by announcing that the wife of the com- mander-in-chief in South Africa was born on St. Patrick's day. ——_ + 0+ —___ Paris caricaturists might find it wise to moderate their abuse of eminent people of other nationalities until after the exposition has been brought to a conclusion. ——__ «= —____ jovernor Pingree now admits that he been experiencing an acute attack of democracy in silence for some time. —__ es ____ Regulating Automobites in Paris. The French ministry, awakened. by the long Mst of automobile accidents, have formulated some new regulations affecting those vehicles which are expected to greatly reduce the danger which now besets the users of the Streets of Paris. In all- urban districts no automatic vehicle is to be pro- pelled at a greater speed than five miles an hour, the same limit as that applied to horse-drawn vehicles. All automobiles ee G capable of a speed of 18% miles an hour must bear a conspicuous red number in token of registry. The supposition is that these faster machines will be thus made more easily observable and their perform- 7 de Si andruff.

The principle that the automatic vehicle should be restrained to the speed allowed to horse-drawn vehicles is some- what new in the form of official regulation, but it commends itself to the judgment as wise and reasonable. There is no excuse ( for Hcense to the machine simply because it fs a machine. Any vehicle, propelled by ( Oe whatever means through a city streets at a speed greater than five miles an hour, contains possibilities of danger. Street cars are a necessary exception; first, because their higher speeds are essential to the de- mands of rapid transit; second, because their track being fixed their higher speeds do not menace the other street users as seriously as though routes were indefinite. The au- tomobile follows a flexible route, and con- sequently should be bound by the same rules that apply to all other forms of vehicles not confined to a definite track. The example of the Paris authorities might profitably be followed in this country, where the demand for the more careful regulation of automobiles is being heard more and more insistently. ——___ «= —____ Even if he is acquitted of the charges for which he is being tried, Brigham H.
