become constantly more crowded At certain
hours our principal avenues and business streets
and the pleasure drives in our parks thronged
10 such an extent that considerable skill is re-
quired to avoid serious accidents. Much trouble
and annoyance are caused by drivers who are
incompetent careless. 1t is time for the
municipal authorities to take measures for the

the liveest parts of Manhattan 1t is highly
desirable that the simple and easily compre-
hended rules Of the road should be enforced
Our policemen in the various boroughs should
be required 10 watch more vigilantly the actions
of the drivers. Warnings and appeals should be
uttered more frequently and more forcibly. The

New-York tribune., 1900-03-05

Major J. F. Hanson, Georgia Republican who
has long been strong supporter Of Mckinley
and his policies as member of Congress, Gov
ernor and President, but who, partly for that
reason and partly because of political relations
at home. is much disiked by Senator Bacon.
The Senator does not love his friend Mr.. Ed
wards less, but he hates his enemy Major Han
son more. Besides. the nomination of Mr.. Ed
wards was highly objectionable to Congress
man Bartlett of the Macon district, owing to
the circumstance that Mr.. Edwards many years
ago wrote something of which he now hears
for the first time that it ruffied the susceptible
ties OF Mr. Bartlett Still. Mr.. Bartlett has been
his friend ever since and never alluded to the
matter Out of regard, therefore, for Mr. Bart
lett's feelings as we'll as his own. Senator Bacon
is constrained to deny to the people of Macon
the services postmaster of their popular
fellow citizen, whose qualifications for the office
are universally admitted and whose appoint
ment gave them peculiar satisfaction.
Such is the situation it is indicated in Sen
ator Bacon's letter TO Mr. Edwards. On its face
it reveals remarkably low conception of pub
lie duty, but the actual motive behind the Oppo-
stion makes II still more disreputable. The real
objection to Mr. Edwards is found in the intelli-
gence. the integrity and the influence which he
brings TO the support of Republican principles
ministration at Washington can be misled into
appointing to Federal office In a Southern
State a Republican of obnoxious and ignobe
character who is disgrace to his party and
generally despised the narrow, calculating, I'M
patriotic Democratic leaders of that region are
disposed to rejoice rather than complain, mas
much as the appointment will tend to check the
spread OF political enlightenment and indepen-
dence and confirm their own selfish and de-
grading supremacy. But when Republican
Administration proposes to put into an impor-
tant Southern office a Republican. and especially
a Southern Republican, who. like Mr. Edwards.
is conspicuously fit, who is hOnOred and inluen-
tial at home. and whose talents and character
are sure TO commend and promote the political
principles which he espouses. these same crafty
and stubborn partisans, perceiving the danger to
themselves, solictous to avert 1t. If the
nomination of Mr.. Edwards is defeated 1t will
be because. being a Republican, he is too good
man for postmaster of Macon.

A Beautiful Scheme.

The present Republican Congress,
which so exerted itself TO please the
trusts in regard TO Porto Rico and as
well as on other subjects, will almost
certainly go horne without even formu-
iating any plan for relieving the
country of war taxes, which, according
to the secretary Of the Treasury, will
yield a surplus OF over $4,000, 900
by June, 1901. There is some diff
Guilty in deciding which taxes to re.
peal, emphasized by the insistance OF
the people for relief from stamp taxes
on the one hand and the claims OF Ger.
tain interest for favors on the other
and between the two, the Republicans
prefer to do nothing. Futher, there
is an advantage in retaining a huge
surplus, which will amount by next
June to some $75, 900 in the gov.
eminent repositories. The govern
ment, OF course gets no interest fol
this, but there is no doubt that the
favored banks will contribute largely
to the campaign funds of the Repub
lican party this fall. One percent on
the money loaned out to them would
even now amount to over million
dollars, which would be very nice
nest egg for the campaign. 1t would
all be perfectly straightforward, too.
That is the beauty of il. The Secre-
tary lends out the money to prevent
congestion in the Treasury and the
bank contributes to the fund out o
pure patriotism. Futher, by declining
to reduce taxation at present the Re
publican party gets into an excellent
position to prove the Democrats il
the wrong. Next fall if the taxes hav,
not been before reduced, the Repub-
licans can make just what reduction i
sees fit. If Mckinley is reelected, i
will retain plenty of revenue for TIN
need Of the country, while if Bryan i
elected, the Republicans, who will still
be in power next winter, will rduct
taxation until the revenues are in
sufficient for the country, leaving TIL
Democrats with Treasury whicl
must be rapidly depleted unless the
adopt the always unpleasant al
tentative of putting back some of tn
taxes once more. The Republican
will say that they left the Treasur
overlooking, that they reduced taxa
ton to suit the demand Of the country
and that the incompetent Democrat
rapidly landed the Treasury in finan
cial difficulties. 1t is beautiful
scheme, and there seems no way {
preventing its going through.

Brave and Honest.
Even the New York Sun rebuke

Even the New York Sun rebukes
the narrowness and unfairness of
some of its co-laborers in the cause
of gold. The Sun has no more use
for bimetallism than has the Salt
Lake Tribune, and it is much more
honest in the handling of facts.
After making the admission that
Bryan stands better with the peo-
pie than he ever did, the Sun says:
1.-THE Bryan of 1900 stands before
the people as man with the bold
ness of honest convictions. The
sincerely and courage of such an
attitude are admirable, however de-
plorable the convictions may be.
He is not gutter. The American
people hate gutter"
1t calls attention to the fact that
many efforts have been made to in
duce Mr.. Bryan to abandon or post
pone or crowd back the silver issue,
but all in vain. He has resisted all
the temptations Of supposed exped-
iency and, as the Sun declares, has
shown himself to be not only a
brave but an honest man.
Yet the Sun holds the record as
being the most intense and uncom.

Life on Cape Nome Beach.

Samuel j. Nelson, who has spent
the last two years at Cape Nome,
Alaska, gives the following informa-
ton of interest in a letter to the
Butte Miner:
Cape Nome is the most wonder
full placer mining camp ever diecov-
cred. For 40 miles both up and
down the beach from Nome and
Anvil City paying dirtis to be found
all along the coast with amazing
regularity. Last August in one
claim on Anvil creek six men worked
seven short hours and washed out
$4,000. On the same day another
force of men washed out $4,000 in
eight hours on claim No 3 in Snow
Gulch. 1t is expected even greater
figures will occur during the coming
summer.
Wages are still high, and anyone
can get work at 81 an hour or $40
and $12 a day. Another interesting
feature is the fact that there are
quite a number of women working
here now. When man is hungry
all he has to do is to take pan, fol-
low the receding tide down to its
lowest limit and then wash out
enough of the yellow metal to pay
for a good dinner, even though
stakes do sell for So apiece and
coffee is 80 cents a pot. A square
meal here new costs about 81, and,
though the steamers are pouring
food and supplies into the district,
prices do not seem to go down.
The old dead" camp of Hamilton,
made famous in the days of the
White Pine silver excitement in '69,
is proving to be a very lively corpse
says the White Pine News. Lead
mining has taken the place of sill
yer mining. Last year there was
more ore shipped from Hamilton
than any other camp in the State,
with the exception of Eureka, and
this year it promises to break all
previous records.
Many young girl makes the
mistake of thinking that because
she could die for a man, she truly
loves him. In this restless, throb-
bling age it is necessary for her it
is necessary for her to ask herself
