the natives In arms. They are described as
good fighters and full of endurance. The
Gurkhas. the Sikhs. the Dogras. and other
tribes are mentioned By name, and instan es
are cited where in battle they proved them
selves worthy to stand by the side of the
pick of the British. Some have dash, others
patience, under fire, and all have the quail
ity of closing with an enemy whenever he
appears.
But. as this author holds. the native
needs to be led when placed in a COM
manding position he lacks self-reliance,
the ready assumption of responsibility, the
capacity for organization. the eagerness to
assume the initiative. all Of which are
essential to a leader of men. This fact
was the secret of our the English success
against the Indian peoples while still un-
conquered 1t was equally the secret of the
failure of the Indian mutiny, and it Is the
secret at once of the strength and of the
weakness of our present military system
The writer in Blackwood's, however, does
not seem to take into account the proba-
hility that in, forty years the higher grade
of the East Indians may have advanced in
the matter of ability to command. They
have been at the closest range to a race
of fighters in whom the art of command is
wonderfully developed. They may have
learned more than Englishmen are aware
Of, or may be willing to allow. At any
rate. superior as the whites undoubtedly
are in leadership and organization, another
meeting in India, with the natives so well
schooled now in the art of war, is not to be
considered even without the gravest anx-

While the populists, especially in Kansas
continue abusive, and Mr.. Teller now joins
In their chorus. the courts of late have not
figured as prominently in the indictments
drawn by the discontented as they did last
year And yet they have not been idle.
Unfortunately. labor troubles have caused
appeals to be made for injunctions. and
here and there injunctions have been
granted. But, upon the whole, these pro-
cesses have been well received and promptly
oheyed- Even Mr.. Debs though still COM
planning of such interference has expressed
himself on the subject in terms, compare
lively, of moderation.
1t is also to be observed that in those
platforms adopted by democratic state con-
ventions which re-afirm the Chicago plat
form. specifications which follow do not
include last years thrust at the courts
Free silver. revenue tariff, an income
tax. trusts, all are mentioned but no fling
at the courts appears. In Virginia last
week Senator Daniel was the ruling spirit
of the democratic convention. and shaped
the platform adopted. and the courts were
not mentioned. Free silver, revenue
tariff. and an income tax were advocated,
and trusts Were denounced. but no refer
ence whatever was made to government
by injunction" Mr.. Daniel is a lawyer
and presided over the Chicago convention.
Is this an Intentional moderation of last
years sweeping crusade? If so, the coun-
try is to be congratulated. AS warmly as
men may combat the propositions for free
coinage. a revenue tariff and an income
tax, 1t cannot be denied that they are all
legitimate subjects for political contro-
versy. A campaign may legitimately be
made on them. Those who advocate them
have a perfect right to ask a decision on
any one all of them at the polls. But
the courts are not, and should not be made
subjects for political embodiment. While
not above criticism. and, of course, not
above error, they are yet not properly
within the range of the agitator or the
popular stumper, nor should they be used
by him for ringing hoarse and coarse
changes on the exciting topics of a rough
and-tumble campaign.
There can be no doubt of the fact that
the assault of the democracy last year on
the judiciary cost II many votes. 1t helped
materially to point out the danger of the
combination; and If the silver men are be-
ginning to realize the fact 1t shows a
change for the better.

Broad Tire. for City Pavements.

Jersey City is about to put into force a
set of rules regulating traffic on the streets
paved with asphalt, the desire being to
minimize the amount of wear on the sur
faces caused by the passage of heavily
loaded wagons. These rules do not apply
in quite the same degree to Washington.
the streets of which are not subject to
much traffic such as that which conges,s
the thoroughfares of the large comm srcitl
cities of the country. But it is important
to note that there Is a means of regulating
the matter. and 1t would be well for the
local authorities to consider the case. By
these rules all vehicles with a total weight
of more than 1000 pounds that use tires
less than three inches broad are excluded
altogether from streets paved with asphalt.
Where the load exceeds 1000 pounds the
tires Elust be not less than five inches
broad. and from that point the following
scale Is established: 5000 pounds. 6 inches;
5000 pounds. inches; 1900 pounds, S
inches; and SO on, an inch being added for
each additional thousand pounds A rem

of course, is to reduce the cutting effect of
narrow tires sustaining heavy weights

however. will cut ruts and grooves into the
asphalt in the middle of the day, when the

points of large holes. A single trip by
truck of this description will in fact begin
the work of destruction that will eventually

attention to the need of some regulation
