through the period of peril. He was not
only up to all the Yankee tricks. but had
obtained in an unusual degree the good
will of the Yankees. And it was so ordered
Additional Boer commissioners are on the
way here. and are timing themselves to ar
rive for effect on the campaign. Montagu
White. Webster Davis and the retiring Mr..
Macrum are willing souls. but hardly strong
enough for the work. They are to be rein
forced. and then the effort to embroil the
United States with England Is to be pushed
for all possible returns Hurry over"
these commissioners were advised In Eu-
rope. Now is the time to strike the Yam
KEGS. They all grow wild in presidential
years. and an appeal to their susceptible
ties. IL properly keyed. Is certain to yield
something. Sock it to England in the name
of 49, and make iusty outcry for free
dom" And so these Bocrs. who know lit
tie about rs. and care less. and who them
selves have never enjoyed in the Transvaal
an hour of what in the United States is
called freedom, are coming over to urge us
to run our campaign in the interests of the
Transvaal.
Latest of all is the foreign comment on
Secretary Roots speech in New York. That
deliverance Is translated in Germany to
mean America for the North Americans"
ard everybody else must clear out of the
western hemisphere. And this for effect
on the electorate in November. This OBJ
servation is absurd enough. but If it were
worthy of serious reply that reply might be
that If the Germans of Central and South
America could know of the prosperity and
happiness of their former compatriots who
now live in North America. they would
probably be eager to see the dominion of
the stars and stripes extended in their di-
rection.
But we are in for a season OF jbes
and chaff. and in the end shall be none the
worse for the experience. 1t is true. too,
that some of these shafts strike home.
Popular government is not in all things an
expression of pure reason. Excitement and
prejudice play their part, and all sides en-
ploy them. But we have been accustomed
to strike a fair balance of justice and use
fulness. and We shall probably do so this
time.

Hero. Meat 4. Candidate. Poison.

Among Admiral Dewey's callers in Chi
cago Monday were a committee of Cana
dians. who invited him to visit Port Stanley,
Ontario. They were cordially received, and
Admiral Dewey said to them in reply:
Il know those names signed to the invita-
tlon-many of them personally and all of
them by reputation-anG l may say gentle
men. that attention which has been
shown me since 1 landed in New York has
touched me more than this The honor
shown me by your great nation, coming as
II does, is sweet for, although we are of the
same blood. We are different-that is. we ara
little different. but 1 value greatly the
friendship of Englishmen. In Manila bay
once; when l was in a most trying position
an English commander stood loyalIy at my
back, and if it had not been for his moral
support cannot say what might have han
pened. My dear old friend Sir Edward
seymour, Is more than a brother to me.
and L will remember his friendship to the
end. W ZIG
Il cannot say now whether 1 can accent
your invitation. but 1 will come if l can
possibly arrange to do so. 1 am SO busy
now that L cannot see nv way clear tn ar
cept the invitation. but will give you a
oehhite answer as soon possible
Now that was handsome and in Admiral
Dewey's best Vein. There spoke the hero
of Manila bay. The sight of these men of
English blood and English allegiance hold
ing out the hand of friendship to hin,
brought to his mind instantly the support
which that English sailor had given him
IN the long, trying siege of Manila after
the Spanish ships had been destroyed And
out he came with an Acknowledgement of
the service, as hearty as it was sincere.
And he declared again, as he had done be-
fore, that but for that service he might not
have succeeded as he did to the great graf
ification of his country
While this was very fine coming from a
hero. what would have been the effect Of it
had It come from the democratic candida te
for President? Imagine, indeed. Admiral
Dewey the nominee of the Kansas City
convention. and standing on platform de-
nouncing Johnny Bull for his course in
South Africa in claptrap terms and form
designed to catch the German vote. Imag-
Inc the candidate. by accident. or by some
sly arrangement of the opposition reminded
of that English service at Manila, and
breaking out in compliment of it. and con-
Tossing that he values greatly the friend
ship Of Englshmen." Why Mr. German
and Mr.. Hill would be thrown into fits and
Mr.. Mclean would have an attack of the
gout that would lay him up for the re-
mainder Of the campaign
No. indeed. Admiral Dewey does not fiji
the requirements of the present political
occasion. Both his nature and his history
are non-political. As a plain-spoken sailor
! familiar with his profession and il!ustrious
In 1t. he is free to express himself as he
pleases. And he talks we'll when he talks
about the sea and what has come to him
out of the sea. AS hero he is excellent
and the best we have to show in the busi-
ness But as politician he would prove
to be the hottest parcel that ever a party
| tried to carry to victory

Our presidential campaigns have for

are that the approaching campaign will be
by far the most interesting to foreigners of

however, anything but complimentary or

weigh and decide those questions
Recently, when the matter OF Lord
PRuncefote's service at this capital was un-

were urged to continue him at his post
for at least a year longer. They were ad-

Speed Regulation for Motor Vehicles

~
Experience with the bicycle having
shown very clearly that the average hu-
man being is so constituted that he has
an Unsuitable passion for high speed which
makes it extremely distasteful to him to
go slow when he can possibly go fast. the
public welfare would seem to demand that
the right to use the streets for mechanical
ly propelled vehicles should be restricted
to those equipped with regulating devices
which would make 1t impossible to run them
beyond the statutory speed limit We do
not need experience to teach us that some
thing more than a municipal ordinance
hxing the maximum speed at which motor
vehicles may be propelled Is needed to
prevent the growth of an evil which when
once grown, will defy suppression OF regu-
lation- Our suggestion is that every au-
tomobile run in New York shall be reg
iStered and licensed, and that the conii-
ton of such license be that 1t be fitted
with an automobile governor, by means
OF which, when a certain speed is reached
the power is cut off or a brake applied
or both. thus rendering a velocity exceed
Ing that allowed by law impossible Me-
chanicaliy, this suggestion is entirely prac-
teal To use a motor vehicle without such
governor could be made a misdemeanor
entailing penalties sufficiently serious to
discourage violations of the law which if
charged, could be established or disproved
without difficulty.
