of movement for good government. Be-
sides. comforting with the republicans
would not have been yielding to Mr.. Platt.
AS success at the polls was not to be
thought of without the republican vote,
that vote and its representatives were en-
titled to every consideration.
So stands the cese with respect to the
Citizens Union. But should the previous
ness of a few men ruin a good cause?
Has Mr. Low been made unavailable by
reason of the Unions nomination? Cannot
Mr.. Plat and his friends afford to accept
so strong end estimable a man without re-
gard to the mere matter of who found
him first?' He has character, ability, a
good purpose, well stated IN several de-
liverances as to Greater New York, and
he would make a model mayor for the new
town.
The whole country is interested in the
outcome. If effort for good govern
ment for the greatest city in the country
results in the return to power of the most
consummate band of brigands that ever
held up a. free people, the cause of good
government elsewhere and everywhere will
be affected. Tammany was driven out by
ali organization of the responsible people,
and it can be kept out by the same instru-
mentality.

An Age Limit for DriYers.

There is no doubt as to the wisdom of
writing among the police regulations rule
that restricts the freedom with which the
owners of delivery wagons and other We
hicles that make frequent use Of the streets
place them in charge of small boys. who
lack the skill. judgment and experience
necessary to ensure a degree of safety to
other occupants Of the thoroughfares. The
proposition now under consideration by
the Commissioners places this age limit at
sixteen years. The New York ordinance
which fixes upon this age might safely and
reasonably be adopted. 1t appears that
there Is already in force in the District
law which makes it misdemeanor for a
wagon or other vehicle to be driven by
person less than twelve years DID, but this
mas evidently become a dead letter, with
disastrous results. In unearthing this law
1t Is we'll for the Commissioners to con-
sieer that the conditions which surround
the use of public streets have changed
materially since the old law was framed.
Ihefe are more street cars and they are
much more dangerous. There are many
thousands more street users The popu-
larity of the bicycle has added to the
proper occupants of the pavement between
curbs by fully ore hundred per cent. while
the general growth of the civ has added
IT'S proportion. Thus there is a pressing
reed Tor undermining all ancient rules that
siect the streets, and this one especially.

The Virginia Senator'S.

When the democrats CT Virginia met in
was introduced proposing a direct vote of
the people, after the South Carolina pri-
mary plan, In the election of United States
senators. Senator Daniel opposed it, and
after a sharp debate. during which he
threw the whole weight of his influence in
to the scale, the resolution was defeated.
The debate, however, disclosed the fact
that both Mr.. Daniel and his colleague,
Mr.. Martin, would stand for reelection.
and thereby the object of the resolution
was, In measure. as applied to them
selves, accomplished. Both are practically
now before the people as candidates-Mr
Daniels case to be disposed OF this year,
and Mr.. Martins two years hence-and
the people will have opportunity In many
ways to signify their wishes in the prem
ises. Both men have taken the stump, and
evidently will exert themselves as yiRor-
ously as though primary boxes were yawn-
Ing to receive ballots as to their particular
candidates..
Mr.. Daniels reelection looks, at this
time, well assured. He is not only in full
sympathy with his party on all the leading
rational issues. but he possesses many ele-
ments Of local strength. The virginians
like oratory. and he is the Virginia orator
without living peer. They treasure deep
ly their memories Of the confederacy. and

Seems to meet the case fully. 1t may pos
sibly encounter the opposition of the COM

ent to the law well as those that are in
different to its provisions. but this opposi-
ton should not deter the Commi ssioners
from pressing the recommendation or Con-
greSS from enacting good law on the

ModerniHed Croauet.

Inc modern game of croauet. as will he
seen by visit to the tournament now in
progress here, is such as to attract MANY
mere deEotees than did the game in its
original form. Indeed it bids fair to assume
among the lovers of gentle outdoor sports
popularity approaching that of golf or of
lawn tennis. 1t has long Stree ceased to
be slow, unscientific game, for the late
developments have given it hard smooth
Playing surface, with nicer distinctions in
the rules ard wider possibilities for
strategy. The game as it is now played is
In effect the enlarged equivalent of OPEN
air billiards, with the same chances for
delicate touches, caroms, position strokes
and other points Of superior play. The
surrounding of the ground by cushion
that not only retains the balls within
bounds but gives the payer a chance to
prolong his play by DETECTED shots is an
other element tending TO increase the popu-
golf in that the action is never violent
the strokes are separated by intervals for
rest and calculation, and the interest GEN.
tiers upon the work of one PLAYER at n
tine. In baseball football and tennis the
action Is more violent and continuous In
tennis, to be sure, the interest centers
alternately upon the individuals, but these
alterations are so rapid that the sport has
the characteristics of continuous play in
which all the participants are ceaselessly
oo cupied. Croquet appeals to those seekers
of outdoor exercise who are not strong
CROUCH for the constant effort of other
games. The game has the advantage Of
Icing relatively simple In Its rules, though
the modern tendency is to multiply the reg
ulations. Washington has taken a stead
lily increasing interest in the sport of late,
and now has the honor OF including in It's
population both the champion and the Sec
ord best player in the United States One
feature Of the sport is the number Of very
young men who become devoted to it and
develop experiences in the play.

he has long enjoyed their favor and has
never abused 1t, and they are slow to
desert a faithful standard-bearer. For
these reasons Mr.. Daniel is very likely to
succeed himself in the Senate.
Mr.. Martin. on the other hand, though
with strong points in his favor, may find
bis row hard one to hoe. He lacks the
personal charm of Mr.. Daniel, and, besides
has but recently come around to his party's
position on the silver question. His prac-
tee as lawyer had brought him into close
contact with the leading business interests
of the state, and this inclined him original
ly to the sound money side Of the financial
contention. But when the party formally
declared for free silver at 16 to 1 he
changed front and supported Mr.. Bryan
for President. Still, he occupies the uncer-
tain ground of a convert. and If, two years
hence, silver should appear on the down
grade as national issue the effect will be
certain to tell against his fortunes as a
leader. Opposition to Mr.. Martin is reason
ably within ordinary calculations. If Major
Tyler who will then be governor, is eligible
he may prove formidable factor in that
race.

Mr. Chnpman's Debut.

The news that the prospects of the demo-
cratic state ticket In Ohio are poor seems
fully explained and confirmed in the speech
of Mr. Chapman who heads the ticket for
governor. He opened his campaign yester-
day with "a deliverance which, If one may
judge by the Geographic report, deserves
t. take rank among the most absurd of
thu times. 1t is pitched in the key of silli-
ness and insult. and it ought to cost him
votes in every county. AS the people of
Ohio are among the most intelligent in the
country. a fair assumption is that it will.
MIR. Chapman sees likeness between the
Men who are enlisted in the cause of sound
money and Benedict Arnold. British gold,
he thinks. is working in the one case as it
worked in the other. General Arnold sold
himself to the British, and the sound
money men are jingling British gold over
lere today. He calls upon the people to
Withstand the temptation. But he forgets
that he is addressing people who last year
gave an enormous majority for sound
money. How was that majority obtained?
By the use of British gold? If that is the
explanation, Mr.. Chapman is wasting his
appeals or people unworthy of them. Ii

A Relentless Question.

There's a phrase that keeps haunting
wherever you turn,
A mockery subtle and cold;
No matter for what your ambition may
yearn,
Nor how honest its purpose and bold.
Hope withers away like the rose that has
died
AT the pitiless touch of the frost;
Like spectre through glorious dreams it
will glide
The query, "How muchll it cost"'
The laborer turns from his visions of cheer
To his toll that is ever the same;
One nabob is calm meath anothsrs bland
sneer,
And the tone of an emperors claim
Grows mild when he asks if the things he
would gain
Is worth what perhaps may be lost;
And the world plods along TO the sordid
refrain
OF the query. How much'n it COST"

That New York Division.

The division among the anti-Tammany
forces in Greater New York Is all the more
deplorabie for the reason that, by a little
concession here and there it might easily
have been avoided. The blame is not Justly
to be saddled upon one faction. Both fac
tons share it.
The case cannot be properly stated with
out reference first to the action of the
Citizens Union The idea of fayoring
citizens union excellent one. 1t
originated in a desire for good government
for the city upon nOn-partisan basis. But
very early in the campaign the movement
became associated in the public mind with
a committee whose members showed a dis
position to cut out and direct all the work
Necessary TO be done. In this way the
union. for practical purposes, ceased to
be union. and became only faction
Then ii became a very aggressive faction
and. refusing all conferences with forces
absolutely essential to success, nominated
a candidate for mayor. The selection made
was in every way admirable except in the
way it was made. Against Mr.. Low as
man or citizen nothing whatever can be
urged. But his very excellence and strength
ard availability made him the man not
for a factions candidate. but for real
LEion's candidate. In appropriating him
to itself. therefore. this faction injured the
general cause and embarrassed Mr.. Low
Conference with the republicans was re-
fused. upon the ground, as understood
that the republican organization was under
the control of Mr.. Plat, and that as Mr..
Platt stood for nothing but machine poll
tics his influence IL yielded to would give
TO the whole movement a machine twist
This was not good reasoning. Mr.. Plat
himself is a machine man. as Mr. Croker
is. but his machine is not Of the same
kind at all as that of the Tamn,any leader
The rank and file OF the republican organ
ization helped to put Mayor Strong in

selves worthy to be trusted in the matter

Trained Colored Nurses.


From the Charlotte y. Cd Observer.
Charleston got some reputation few
months ago by replacing the white labor
in the cotton mill there with colored labor.
That city now comes to the front with an
other project concerning colored people,
and this time one that appears to be COM
mendable and reasonable 1t is the estab-
lshment Of a training school for colored
nurses. instruction is given the pupils by
eight well-trained colored physicians, all
under the management Of DR.. Lucy Brown,
a colored woman from Philadelphia The
more intelligent women Of the colored rec
make the most faithful nurses in the VI rid.
To this particular field of work they are
we'll adapted, and there is no reason why
the nurses turned out in Charleston should
not be able to find steady employment

Another Change In the Situation
New York Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger.

A new and surprising change in the local
political situation is Senator Platt's deci-
sion to withdraw District Attorney Olcott
as candidate for mayor and to name ex-
Secretary of the Navy Tracy in his place.
Mr.. Olcott, although clean and bright
young man, did not measure up to the
standard demanded by the situation. 1t
was soon discovered that he was not strong
enough to force Seth Low out of the field,
so General Tracy has been asked to stand
as the party candidate, and it is under
stood that 1t depends only on the ex-Secre-
tary himself whether he will be nomina ted.
1t is announced that he has decided to take
the question under considerable 1t is
unnecessary to emphasize the fact that
General Tracy would be a stronger candi-
date than Mr.. Olcott, and that his nominal
ton would introduce a new element Of
doubt into tho campaign.
