Ihe denial of the report that Mr. Choate

The Inauguration Date.



The proposition to change the date for
the inauguration Of the President from
March to a late date in April has received
the approval Of many eminent statesmen,
and is invariably revived when the splen-
dor Of the interesting national ceremony is
marred by rigorous weather, condition
likely to prevail In the early days of March
Aside from this consideration, 1t Is urged
that If the Inauguration were postponed. as
suggested. the short term of Congress
would be extended nearly two months, dur
ing which much important business could
be transacted by that body which must
now be postponed for lack of time
The wisdom of the founders in select
ing such an inclement season for the great
national event Is challenged by a large
body OF citizens. The extension of the
short term would have its practical ad-
vantages, but constitutional changes are
effected very slowly. The propriety of a
change is earnestly discussed after nearly
every inauguration, ana then drops out of
the public mind for four years One of the

Several accidents, more or less serious,
have been recorded in this city during the
past few weeks as result Of reckless rum
ming OF automobiles. A few days ago an
elderly man was struck as he was stepping
off a street car and severely injured. The
machine must have been running desper-
ately close to the car tracks in order to
hit the pedestrian, and the accident we'll
illustrates the dangerous manner In which
the managers Of these vehicles are handling
their apparatus. The automobiles are, of
course, subject to the speed regulations of
the Commissioners and yet, despite viola
tions which are palpable to any one who
watches the streets for a few minutes any
day only one case has been presented
to the Police Court thus far. Merely be-
cause the streets of Washington are
smooth and generally broad there is no ex-
cuse for the owners and managers of these
machines to take liberties with the public
safety as they are now doing. The police
authorities should instruct the bicycle
squad to keep a particular watch upon
these machines and to make arrests when
ever the speed rules are being clearly vio-
lated. There should be no discrimination
against the bicyclists, who have been fairly
well trained by this time to observe the
law and to respect the rights of others.

The brief interview with Mr.. Cleveland
on the subject Of the future of the demo-
cratic party. published the other day In the
Atlanta Journal. is promptly followed by an
article by him of like tenor in this weeks
issue of the Saturday Evening Post of
Philadelphia. In the latter publication he
goes somewhat into details but not suft1-
cientiy to make his meaning entirely clear
unless this is 1t: THE democratic party,
under my leadership won in 1884 and In
1892, and under Mr.. Bryans leadership it
lost in 1896 and in 1900. If 1t is to win
again 1t must return to my leadership"
1t is difficult to see how a return could
be made to Mr.. Clevelands leadership. even
supposing the democracy willing to make
the attempt. On the money question his
two administrations followed republican
lines. and the great majority of the votes
in both the House and the Senate which
repealed at his instance the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act were republican
votes. His party as a party fought him
openly and bitterly in both branches OF
Coz sress. On the tariff question the de.
mocracy, when called upon to write a
law. wrote one in fat reputation Of its
professions and promises. 1t had prom.
ised free trade. 1t gave the country IN

Likely to Cause Trouble.

1t is said that France Is trying to buy 1OO,-
600 square miles of land from Brazil The
Monroe doctrine declares that the western
hemisphere is no longer open to colonization
by European powers. The colonies which
they already held they could retain without
infringing the Monroe doctrine, though they
have since lost most of them. But they
cannot. consistently with the established
policy of this country, acquire new colonies
or add to those they had before. The ira
ditional policy of this country. therefore.
would not permit France to acquire from
Brazil colony twice large as England
and half large France. II this were
once permitted the Monroe doctrine would
no longer be respected by other European
powers.

lines. The result was that at the first
opportunity the people repudiated the party
and voted for straight protection again
Sound money and protection therefore have
been abandoned to the opposition, and the
republicans holding the fort.
Maybe this is curious a paragraph as
the deliverance contains:
This is a time for sober thought, toler-
ant language and fraternal counsels. We
are dealing with the condition of a party
that cannot be destroyed by external foes;
ana since its ruin can be wrought only
from within it should be imperishable.
Above all things there should be a manly
reIuEciation and avoidance of undue sec
ticnal control. Democracy will not operate
efficiently on sectional lines
Mr.. Cleveland rebukng sectionalism in
the democratic party? He was twice the
beneficiary of that influence In 1884 the
question at the democratic national con-
vention was strictly not principles, but sue
cess. The south was on hand, solid as
usual The north was to make the ticket.
The south would support anybody who
could carry enough northern votes to win
the day. Mr. Manning declared that MIR.
Cleveland could carry New York. and the
friends of Mr.. Hendricks engaged that he
could carry Indiana. Those assurances
named the ticket, and the south kept her
contract. The south's attitude in 1892 was
very similar to this. And again she voted
soidly for a ticket which had been nomi
mated to piece out her support with enough
northern votes to carry the election.
Sectionalism twice made Mr. Cleveland
President of the United States. His cam
didacies, like those of Mr.. Bryan, were
based on southern support which would
have gone as readily to anybody else wear
ing the label Of the democracy.
