The showing given I'm another column Of TO.
days paper py a correspondent who has made
a collection Of the published casualties result
ing from fast or careless driving in this city
during the month of December il one which
may well challenge the attention of those who
make laws for the District, as well as OF those
charged with the duty of administering them.
1t is doubtful whether this record can he
equaleG in n single month by any city
in the country, however large its popu-
1ation, and its proportions are so formid-
able as TO indicate alike recklessnesS on
the part of drivers, ineffective laws, and mat
tention or inefficiency the part of those
whose province 10 is to protect the rights of
society. 1t is no doubt true that our smooth
and quiet pavementS are in a measure respon-
sible for the number of such casualties since
they facilitate faster driving here than is usual
IN other cities, where the street surfaces are
rough; but this is no excuse for those who drive
ahead regardless of the rights of others. 1t is on
the other hand a conclusive reason for greater
care on their part.
Because a man happens to be in or car
rage or other vehicle il does not by any means
follow that his business is any more important
or pressing than that Of n person who happens
To- be on foot, nor has the former legally any
right Of way over the former because he is for
the time being able to run him down by brute
force. On the contrary, foot-passengers are
entitled to the right of way at regular street
crossings, and while they are bound to exercise
due caution, all drivers should on their part be
compelled to bring their horses TO a walk at
crossings and in turning street corners. Under
no other conditions can human life and limb
be safe in any city.

The State department furnishes Congress
with rather discouraging review Of the latest
efforts of this government to bring Europe to
our ways of thinking with regard 10 silver
coinage. Mr.. Manton Marble, Its special agent,
found that the foreign governments were op-
posed to any change OF policy. If we insist on
the coinage Of silver we shall not get any help
from abroad. 1t may be n case OF eleven obsti-
nate jurymen, but it does seem as if most of the
nations were disposed to let silver alone.

There seems to be some doubt to what will
be the attitude of a majority of the new coinage
committee towards the suspension of coinage.
This uncertainty is not by any means to be de-
plored. 1t is supposed that committees are
formed for the purpose of considering the bust
ness referred to them. To make up a commit
tee from men pledged in advance to q certain
policy would be q fareical proceeding. The
grumbling heard in some quarters indicates
that the Speaker has selected men who are
open to argument and who will treat the SUBJ
Ject, as it should be treated, on its merits.

The supplementary U .ah bill that passed the
Senate yesterday is an extreme measure and
can only be justified by the unique character of
the evil which ii is designed TO correct. AS
Senator Hoar said, it goes to the limit of the
powers of the federal government. In one re-
spect II violates the universal maxim OF law in
civilized countries which protects the unity of
the marriage state by its provision making tn
wife competent witness against TIE husband
in polygamy cases. 1t also takes away from the
women of the territory the right of suffrage,
which they now enjoy.
The main opposition to the bill conferred
about these two provisions. But on the final
vote only seven senators opposed its passage.
1t now goes to the House, where its fate is more
doubtful, owing to the power of obstruction
that a small minority, if compact and earnest,
has in that chamber But the first Utah bill
got through there without much delay, and the
second one may be equally fortunate.

Candidate for Governor of Georgia.

The most conspicuous figure next to that
of Mr. Jefferson Davis in the recent demon
stration at the laying of tho corner stone OF
the monument to the Confederate dead was
Gen. John B. Gordon. Judging from the
ovation he received on that occasion, he is a
very popular man. The people seem to
receive him as the type On confederate
soldier. A gallant soldier he was, too.
ua ,osa srsul the rank Of captain to that
OF major general, was wounded eight
times during the war, and followed the for
tunes of the southern cause all the way to
Appomattox, where he was in command of
one wing of Lees army. Although com
mander of less importance, historically,
than Gen. Longstreet, who was present at
Atlanta in full Confederate uniform, Cor ION
carried off the honors Of the recent occa, sion
so far as the military were concerned
Gen Gordon is born Georgian and a
graduate of the State university. Early in
the war he joined the Confederate army and
rose through the various grades to that Of
lieutenant general In 1865 he was the
Democratic candidate for the governorship
of his native state, but was defeated. In
1878 he was elected to the United States sem
ate, but resigned six years ago to make way
for his friend Governor Brown Since that
time he has given his time to the develop
ment of the railroads and other business en-
terprises of the south. He has issued an ad-
dress to the people of his state declaring
himself a candidate for the nomination Of
governor

pIGBY.

Digby is not much of a place, as you see.
1t looks as if the whole town couldn't scrnne
together fishing worms enough to bait pin
hook for hellbender Nevertheless, her
ring in vast shoals come along there and are
caught for bait. 1t is only fair TO the her
ring, however, to say that they are very
young when they take in Digby, or they
would know. letter than to be caught in such
place. Further, it is only fair to skinner
Kinney, of the Adams, to say that he de-
clares he'll be everlastingly blowed and
blanketed if he took so much as a solitary
minnow from Digby.
The Canadians catch the Lait and sell it
for 81 barrel to the Yankee fishermen.
They are eager enough to part with it at
that figure, and there is plenty of it. They
keep it on hand constantly to be disposed Of
In this very way. Now, why don't the Do
minion government punish its own Ka.
nucks for selling the bait, ami not Us inno-
cent Yankees who buy it,
Numbers among the fishing population Of
New England avow they will be ruined if
the privilege Of buying Canadian hait is
taken from them. Newspapers all over this
country have been bowling it into their
readers ears for the last five years that the
Canadian fisheries are not worth "a brass pin
to us. Now they sing suddenly another
song.
There have been bad feeling and foolish
gabbling on both sides The talk Of war is
nonsense. The "two great English spcakinp
peoples" are nearer together in blood and in
Interest than any other two nations. They
must settle this little matter amicably and
In way that will be a credit to both.

viii Be Ruined-Canadian Side of the
Fisheries Questionable Old Treaty.
The state Of Maine is in arms From
Skowhegan to Lake Molechunkemunk and
back again her citizens raise the battle cry.
Mattawamkeag hears the sound, and shoves
it along her troubled waters till it falls into
the bosom of Chmquassabamtook. Meddy-
bemps and Millinoket lash their waves into
fury, and hurl the story of the outrage
across the hills to Squawpan, thence to
Alaguash. Sweet Cauquomogomoc refuses
to smile responsive to the wooing June airs,
while merry Moostocmaguntic looks as
though she had set up in the outrage busi-
ness permanently on her own hook.
1t is on account Of the seizure of the fish,
ing schooners in the Bay of Fundy.
The most exasperating point about this is
that nobody can tell exactly whether it is an
outrage or not When we know we are out
ragged we have reg to hang our wrath
upon, and it's real comfort, but when we
are not quite certain whether we haven't
outraged Z other party, we howl all the
louder with Indignation.
The fishing schooners David j. Adams and
Ella Doughty have been seized by the Cana
dian government for buying bait in the Bay
of Fundy. On what groundl There is a
fusty old document called the treaty of 1918,
which the Kanucks flaunt in Yankee faces as
their authority. But it is so old that
nobody knows much of anything about
it 1t is so old that Hannibal Ham

By the provisions of that treaty United
States fishermen were bound, theme eforward
and forever, not to fish in British American
waters on or within three marine miles of
the shore Of any bay, coast, creek or harbor.
They were not to stake, dry or cure" any
fish therein or on. They were not even to
put in any of the British dominion ports,
except for shelter, repair or obtaining wood
and water This seemed stiff enough and
plain enough.
