RECKLESS DRIVING.

The Question has been asked by hundreds

nit or other dispeusation the repair wagon
of the Washington and Georgetown Rail-
road Company dashes through the streets at
breakncck speed.
trushesaipng withfar greater momentum
than an engine going to a fire, and it is a
wonder and stroke of good fortune that
nobody has thus far been hurt. The neces-
s;ty for such dangerous gait is not ap-
parent. Granted that there is something
wrong with the cable at some point on the
line, it is not a matter of life and death,
nor should such risk be incurred in sending G
men to make the necessary repairs, as the
running down OF people who may be un-
able to get out of the way of the racing
team.
Such speed as is made by this repair
wagon should be permitted only to fire
engines, trucks and other apparatus when
gong to the scene of conflagration. The
railroad company has no greater rights
in this respect than any other cart, wagon
or carriage, and it is difficult to find good
reason for the failure of the police to bring
the drivers before the police court for vio-
iation of the regulations against fast driv-
ing. If any other vehicle were to dash
along Pennsylvania avenue at such a
clipping gait, its owner or driver would
be hauled up with u short turn.

and they in condition again to take care
of themselves The mayor OF East st. Louis
has already issued an appeal for assistance.
1t was passing strange, by the way, and
anything but gracious act on the part of
Senator Vest that he should have so curtly
declared that no need existed for relief
measures, as ST. Louis was rich enough TO
care for her own. He evidently forgot that
there are others who under the circum-
stances cannot la y claim to st. Louis aid.
The Commissioners have done the right
thing in promptly rendering to East st.
Louis such aid as the people of the District
of Columbia can give. 1t is n certainty,
| however, that there are scores OF other
communities that will stand in need of
assistance, both immediate and protracted,
and it might not be amiss to perfect ar
| rangements for prompt succor to them,
even in advance OF the requests that are
sure to come. washngtonians have al
ways opened their ears and hearts and
| purses to the appeals OF suffering, no mat
ter from what quarter they came, and will
fail the stricken communities of the West
| in their present need. AS soon as the
| Commissioners have ascertained what is
wanted they will no doubt take the proper
steps to give the charitable inclinations
of our people an opportunity to manifest
themselves.

MAkING A STRAIGHT ISSUE

The Prohibli ipnists did wise thing IN
their nadonab convention when. they con-
fined their platform aud campaign to the
one issue tbatisthe ..raison d'etre" oftteir
party The abolition of the liqcOr traffic
is not only its corner stone and foundation,
but the whole edfice itself 1t is the ''ne
question that distinguished it from every
other political party. For it the ta1iff,
finance, Immigration, everything, are un-
important side issues 1t was called into
existence, gre W, aud has ATTAINED its pres
eDt proportions because its founders ana
followers believed and today believe that
there is nothing nearly as Importation tie
government to do as to abolish the manu-
facture and sale OF all kiuds of intoxicating
liquors in the United States. Those dele
gates who have bolted the regular oonvcu-
tio,i and will put forth a Platform dealing
with questions or tariff, finance, woman
suffrage, and a dozen other things, fail to
comprehend the real aim and purpose OF the
Prohibition party, and the causes that have
brought sn large membership to its ranks
within a comparatively short time.
Whether prohibition is desirable or rot;
how the SUCCESS of the party and the con-
sequent excmplificat!on of their doctrines
would affect the commerce and growth of
the country; whether its enactmcpts would
stand the test of a judicial inquiry as to their
const.tutionality, all these are questions
which it is not necessary to consider in this
connection. What is of Importance is that
4 ha hn nhSeu
thing foreign to it, and that has been done
by the convention. There can be no misun-
dcrstanding the object of the Prohibition
party in the approaching campaign. 1t is
fighting to kill the liquor traffic. root and
branch, and for nothing else As regards
anything and everything else. its leaders
may be said to have paraphrased Il famous
scriptural injunction and acmonished their
followers: '.Seek ye first the abolition of
strong drink and all these other things shall
be added unto you"
In striking harmony with the platform is
the candidate the party has put forward as
| its standard bearer. Joshua Lcvcring is
| prosperous merchant highly respected
| citizen of Baltimore, and has been closely
| identified with the prohibition movement,
both State, and national, for years. to the
exclusion OF all other political affiliations.
! He stands a worthy representative of the
principle embodied in the party's platform.
The Prohibitionists have presented 10th
Issue hnd candidate with admirable clear
| ness, and no one can make a mistake as to
the aim and purpose of both.
