OBSTACLES TO COUNTERFEITING.
The highly urtistic engraving Of the
new silver certificates is not only COM
mendabie on the ground OF being = an object
lesson OF rare value to the people, but be-
cause its elaborateness offers difficulties
to the ordinary counterfeiteF. Manufac-
turers OF the queer" will not find it easy
to duplicate successfully such PICTURES
and portraits as are Contained on these
new notes, and thus Point is gained
against this gentry. But there is another
means by which the work OF those who
make and pass counterfeit money ,an be
considerably inlpeded. 1t is well. known
fact that the spuriousness of u counterfeit
can be much more readily detected IN
new note than in one that has teen ham
died great deal and become soiled and
crunipled- Ii Congress were to pass a law
that no Treasury note shall te issued more
than once, but shall be destroyed as soon
asit is returned to the Treasury, one great
difficulty III the detection of cou Iterfeits
will have been obviated.
Such Is the course pursued by the Bank
of England. None of its Notes is issued
more than once. AS a consequence coun-
terfeits of English paper money are COM
parativeiy rare. The additional cost of
manufacture would not amount .aa great
deal and would be amply compensated for
by tho greater security OF people from the
wiles and machinassns Of the counter
feiteS.

Meaning OF Free Coinage.

Editor Times:wiIl you kindly confer
favor on a number OF your subscribers by
answering in your popular paper the fol
lowing question: What is the meaning of
free and unlimited coinage of silver? Does
it mean that the United States has to
coin the silver of the world. or DOES it
mean the coinage OF American silver only:
SUBSCRIBER.
Under the Chicago platform the United
States would be compelled to coin the
silver of the world, the clause limiting the
coinage OF the American product being de-
feated by the convention. Editor. -ssss

RIGHTS OF wHEELMEN.

Under this rheld, of course, also come the
rights OF the wheelwolnen and both were
presented and set forth before the Com.
missionersyesterday. Nofault can be found
with the propositions made by the CON-
mitiee from the l.. A.TW., save one and
that will be noticed further along.
The proposed new rule that divers of
vehicles shall not be permitted to cross
streets at u speed greater than five miles
an hour is not unreasonable, nor is that
which makes il incumbent upon the driver
10 proceed first to the middle of the street
before attempting to cross. Indeed this
rule should have been imposed long ago,
for many time has life teen endangered by
vehicles turning corners sharply. The re-
quirement that vehicles of all kinds shall
carry suitable lights after dark is in the
line of common sense.
As TO the suggestion that a Dumber of
wheeimcn bc commissioned as special police
men to enforce the road laws, The Times
has already expressed it's unQuali fled
approval OF the same, and takes great pleas
ure in repeating 1t.
Exception must re taken, however, to
the rule which seeks to impose restraint
upon pedestrians. They are decidedly in
the ma jorty and should not be bound by
any rule respecting the use of either
sidewalk or roadway so long as they do
not obstruct traffic or interfere with the
maintenance of good order. There is
neither rhyme nor reason in the behest
that they shall not have the right to
enter the roadway for the purpose of
crossing street except ON the crosswalks
at the corners, requirement all the more
absurd as crosswalks have been numbered
with the things of the past ever since
cobblestone pavements disappeared from
the streets of Washington. 1t is eminenuy
proper, of course, TO give pedestrians the
. ners, but to prohibit them doing so at any
other point would impose unnecessary hard
ship upon them. AT the same time, they
should under stand that when they do
cross at other points than corners they
do SO at their own risk.
With this one exception the proposed
rules commend themselves to approval.
1t will only be necessary to warn the
special policemen on wheels that they must
be absolutely impartial in the enforcement
of the law and show neither fear nor
favor If the offender is a bicyclist.

TRAINING SCHOOL ESTIMATES

1t is all the more gratifying to The
Times to observe that the board OF trus-
tees OF public schools has included in its
estimates for the next fiscal year items
white, the other for colorcd children
because this paper las urgently advocated
the establishment of such institutions as
an important feature of Washington's pub
lie school system.
The advantage to the young OF such
schools, and the cagerness with which
: upon in these columns as TO make rcitera-
ton superfluous. Nor will there be any
objection raised against them in Congress
on this score, though it is not unlikely that
some backwoods statesman, whose ideas
OF the needs of public school education do
not go beyond the three .'r's,' may make
opposition on the ground that manual train
ing schools are necessary. Men OF thi.
caliber are not open TO argument or reason,
but Others who are more tractable may
have their attention directed to the fact
that there is hardly a public school system
in any large city in the United States
that has not such adiuncts.
The excellence of the public schools Of the
District is admitted by all competent critics
! What is lacking here is sufficicncy of ac-
comm odations, carrying with it a full
days tuition for every child. Such faults as
are Inherent in the system are ascrihable
to defects in the methods OF training
teachers for their work. Leaving these
out of consideration, therefore, there Ie-
mains an excellent course OF academic
training, from the lowests grade to the
highest Our business high school and
normal schools are as good as any Of their
kind anywhere.
Here, however. is the limit. The pupil
who wishes to devote himself to mechanical
pursuits finds his progress barred wien
lie leaves the ordinary high school. In
other cities this is not so. There he can
enter the manual training school and fit
himself i'll some handicraft for his future
career.
The board OF trustees but expresses the
wishes of the people OF the District in
making an estima te for two schools of
this sort. 1t is not to be doubted that
the Commissioners will include .ie items
in their estimates and will urge The ap-
preparation. Nor should our people be
laggard in pressing the matter before
Congress
Let every parent constitute himself a
committee and not cease imporsaaing
until the manual training schools ere ac-
complished facts
