Where Are the AutOcars9

Americans are always unwilling to be-
lieve that they are. either as a nation or as
individuals. anywhere else than at the head
of civilizations procession. 1t Is quite the
custom to refer to the old world as slow
and behind the times and conservative.
Yet in matters that would seem to appeal
most strongly to Americans we are con-
siderably in the rear. A report made to the
State Department by Commercial Agent
Moore of Weimar gives q great deal Of ex-
tremely interesting Information as to the
use of horseless carriages in Europe. In
France and Germany the autocar has
ceased to attract attention: in France the
horses no longer shy at it. In England the
carriage has a firm grip upon popular affec-
ton and has reached that stage of me-
cianical excellence where 1t has begun 4
serious and winning competition with the
horse. III the United States-where inven-
tive ingenuity is supposed to be far In adj
vance of the brainy skill of Europe
horseleSs carriage is something to be stared
al even in the largest cities. There ought
to be fifty of them in Washington at this
time. The broad. smooth thoroughfares
seems to have been constructed especially
for such vehicles

Gone to His Reward.

Washingtonians will be shocked to learn
of the death of DR.. Joseph NJ. Toner who for
many years has been among the best-known
of Washington citizens; prominent among
those who have contributed literally to the
community welfare. Possessed of great
scientific and literary gifts he added to
these the virtues of industry and genial
good-fellowship in a remarkable degree.
Respected for his learning he was beloved
for his charming personality. His ever
sympathetic manner was but the indication
of the tender sympathy which dwelt within
and which needed only the intimation of an
opportunity to become instantly and prac-
tically active. OF his literary research and
ability there is much testimony In tan
gible form and the countless good deeds he
did in secret are craven on many hearts
that will sincerely and profoundly mourn
his departure from the scenes of his long.
useful and happy life.

be effective. Nobody will feel Justified in
firing into the air. or in not firing at all.
At present the politicians are considering
matters from the standpoint of "regulaHi-
ty." This is natural They operate through
organizations, and II Is to their greatest in
terests that such machinery be kept In the
best of order. But there come times when
necessities sweep away or radically change
all party organizations. and when leaders
and followers alike are obliged to adjust
themselves to new conditions. A time like
that Is now come. 1t Is here almost unan-
rounced. aud hence many politicians are,
for the moment. unprepared to deal with IT..
Their first thought is of their organiza-
tiors-how they may be kept regular" and
so forth.
AS the campaign proceeds this anxiety
about the Regularity Of things may be ex-
Pected TO cease. 1t will give place to ankle
ty about greater things. Discussion will be
pointed and intense. Silver men will be
charging. as they now are, that the purpose
of the sound money men is to rivet still
tighter the financial chains of the people,
The sound money men on their part will be
charging. as they now are, that the success
of the silver cause will mean the debase-
Inent of the currency, impairment of the
rational credit. and the ruin of all business.
The old party cries will be heard little if at
all. New cries will largely take their places.
and with the old cries will disappear the old
ties. Men will feel obliged to get together
though never together before, in support
OF what they contend and concede is of
srch paramount moment. The country first.

alike, and delivering himself in a way to
provoke the applause of both alike. This is
easily imagined for Mr. Sherman is to take
the stump, and is likely to address men to
their perfect satisfaction who have never
in political campaign followed him before
VIII not this assist In the obliteration for
the time being of party lines? Will it be
difficult for men so heartily applauding Mr.
ShermaE's sentiments to vote for the can

write those sentiments into laws? Imagine
on the other hand Senator Morgan address,
ing an audience of silver republicans and
receiving unstinted applause from them
VIII not that help on that side to ease the
way for new alignments?
1t seems likely enough that, after the sea-
son for caucusSing and grand stand plays
has passed. and the season for united effort
has arrived. things on both sides will take
on different aspect from that they now
wear. In union is strength. in division Is
weakness. Politicians apply that wisdom
wherever they can in their smallest cam
paigns. Why not in this the greatest Of all
campaigns?

for the prediction that election time

The political conference of the labor
unions OF the city was held yesterday AZ
the hall of the council of labor. The ses.
sion lasted from 10 a. III. until about p.
IN. barring brief interval for luncheon,
and it was beyond question harmonious.
The question which caused the most dis.
cussion and the greatest dissension was as
to whether or not two institutions should
be recognized which stand for Socialism
and socialistic principles. But tho confer.
ence decided not to recognize either of
them. They were the International Edu.
cational Labor association and the Socialis.
tic Cooperative Mercantile and Producers
association. Both had delegations of five
on hand applying for admission, but
neither were permitted to enter and par
ticipate.
