only when the government has prescribed
the treatment of the land and has entered
upon the actual work of development. One
problem will be that of reducing to mini
mum the intrusion Of the railroad lines
upon the reservation. The corporation
sought to secure a strip five hundred feet
wide from shore to shore, and 1t is fair
assumption that 1t would be more than
willing at any time to accept a portion Of
the park area for storage purposes If the
public improvements are pressed and the
character of the park as such clearly es-
tablished, the chances Of successful bid
for such a privilege will grow proportion
ately less. The government should at the
same time see that whatever structure
Is erected across the park to carry the
railway line shall be of a character suited
to park conditions, and not an ugly trestle
There is opportunity in this case to create
railroad construction strictly confined
within, the lines Of the present law which,
II not an ornament to the reservation,
shall at least not be an eye-sore.

Refugees in South Africa.

The British government, it Is announced,
Is forming committee of women to visit
the refugee camps in South Africa
and report on their condition. 1t is
a praiseworthy step. The actual state
of affairs ought to be known, and if any
thing, even the least thing, remains to be
done to insure the unfortunate inmates
any comfort 1t may be in the power of the
government to provide, the necessary or
der should be given at once. And the in
vestigation is most properly committed to
women. The majority of those confined in
the camps in question are women and chill
dren, and the problem of their care is one
upon which women are the best prepared
to pass.
The time has come indeed when the Brit
ish government needs to inform itself
about other than the purely military as
pect of affairs in South Africa. 1t has been
a most difficult task to conquer the Beers
in arms, but the end of that is fairly in
sight. The few thousand who still keep
the field are firing. and presently will be
helpless. Submission must follow. But
then will come the task of building up the
devastated sections of the country again.
and inviting the confidence and co-opera-
ton of the people. So that every act Of
kindness and consideration now exhibited
toward the non-combatants will be as
bread cast upon the waters. The British
government will be certain to realize most
handsomely on the investment.
And the greatest difficulty will come
when the time arrives for dispensing the
refugees. How shall they then be provid-
ed for? 1t will not do to turn them adrift
TO shift for themselves. Their homes have
been destroyed. and they will have moth
ing with which to begin life anew. They
will have to be assisted in some way and
the government will find itself face to face
with the obligation. The sum required will
necessarily be arge-immeasurably larger
indeed than what has been expended in
simply feeding and sheltering these people
in camps. To help them to "a shelter else
where again in family groups and make it
possible for them to become self-support-
ing will call for very large outlay, but
one which every consideration of humanity
will make imperative
That the British flag will in time, and at
no distant day. prove to be a blessing to
the whole of South Africa is certain But
1t will require both patience and liberality
to meet the occasion and restore what
fiercely contested war has so awfully
wrecked. And Boer and Britain must
work side by side to make the task COM
plete.

Suffrage TinkerinE.

When the democrats met at Montgomery
and at Richmond for the purpose of regu-
lating the suffrage of Alabama and VIZ
ginia there were hopes of results that would
merit general approval. These were largely
based upon two men. In the one state was
Mr. Morgan. who. although not a member
of the constitutional convention, was GER
tain to advise it on so important matter,
and in the other was Mr.. Daniel, the most
eminent man In Virginia and member OF
the Richmond convention. Why shoui1 not
two lawyers of great ability and statesmen
of broad views and large experience be
able to propose to their home people clear
and workable plan for the settlement of
the most vexed of current difficulties? The
expectation was that they would meet the
occasion.
Both have been heard from. and both
have failed Mr.. Morgans plan, an out
line of which first appeared in The Star.
tended strongly toward the establishment
OF an oligarchy. with county boards invested
with the most dangerous authority. More
over the drive at the negro was direct in
the matter of holding office. The conven-
toE vas not impressed with it. and in eff
feet put il aside. Since then Mr.. Morgan
has rendered a conspicuous service by con-
demning the grandfather clause" which
has been proposed for adoption, but he has
not remedied the defects of his own gen.
cral proposition.
Mr.. Daniel chairman of the suffrage
committee. has reported to the Virginia
convention a plan even more complicated
than that of Mr.. Morgan. 1t has poll tax
provision and property qualification pro-
vision. but ii erI braces a lot of reservations
and specifications which would make the
enforcement of the law not only difficult,
but dangerous to anything like fair deal.
Partisanship would easily find expression

II county rings for the purpose of creating

" hen two men of this caliber-both pure
of lie. learned in the law. and patriotic of
matte nal purpose-fail in this task, who
may hope to succeed? What lesson is
palmer than that success is impossible
along the lines laid down by the local
prejudices and partisan demands? The
real object sought to be accomplished Is
the violation in spirit of the Constitution
of the United States: and every effort to
disguise this fact but makes the fact the
more conspicuous. 1t would seem indeed
m ORE signal the failure. The old law about
the wise child and its father fairly admits
OF paraphrase now. 1t will presently be a

-om the Indianapolis New,

A few days in the country-away from
the ciangor OF the city and the broiling
heat of the pavements-out in the omen
fields, with nothing in sight above nearer
than the sky and everywhere birds and
flowers and shady trees and running
brooks and growing crops! Who does not
long for that now and then, whatever HIS
condition in life, and however great the
comfort in which he spends his DAYS?
And then think what it means to puny
children who have had no playground but
the street or the alley. whose home is a

cottage on which the summer sun beats

etts Democrats.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

TFo" tHe fHHaue1pH1H inquirer
1t is not surprising that the Massachu-
sets democrats, like their brethren in
Ohio. should be willing to permit Mr..
Bryan and his famous Chicago platform
to drift down stream and disappear for
ever from the public sight. The world at
large loves an intrepid leader. but cannot
be expected always to follow him to de-
feat. Mr.. Towne's recent declaration that
free silver was a dead issue in the west
and the reason he gave therefor, consti-
tute in themselves warning enough that
Organism. whether Endorsed at Chicago or
st. Louis. or Kansas City, or Lincoln
must prove losing card. 1t Is not only
that the people are tired Of hearing the
subject named. Like Mr.. Towne they
know that the financial conditions Of the
country never were better at a time when
the calamity howlers said they would be
ruinous We must do Mr.. Bryan the jus-
tice to add that he also must be aware Of
the fact. but what is he to do?

skin or to preserve his machine from in
jury. This selfish motive, 1t is declared. Is
the public's guaranty of security. But un-
fortunately for the proposition, the docu-
ment in question Immediately proceeds to
show that accidents to the machines have
happened. with costly results to the opera
tors A dog is mentioned as the cause Of
one of these mishaps, which caused the op-
orator to be incapacitated for weeks. There
Is no mention of what became of the dog.
This is important, for In place of the dog
might have been child. If the unlighted
machine runs over glass bottles which cost
the owners heavily in tire damage, or ami
mails which cause demoralizing mix-ups,
why can they not collide with the I'M
warned pedestrian?
The same line of argument failed to per-
suade the authorities, some years ago, that
bicycles should be immune from the light
regulation. They should fail now to ex-
empt the automatic carriage from the rule
of precaution. Even if the owners Of these
machines consider the lights surplusage,
they are known by experience and common
sense to be at least a balance on the side
of safety. And it is the purpose of the po-
lice regulations to make the streets safe
fo- the pedestrians, who are heavily In the
majority, and whose interests are, there
fore, first to be considered. The lights
should by all means be required Of all
vehicles after dark. without discrimina-
ton. If issue exists in this case be-
tween the rights of the owners Of private
vehicles and those which are for public
hire, it should be, resolved by the inclusion
OF all kinds of carriages, machines and
other means of transportation within the
light regulation. The circumstance Of
ownership has no bearing upon the menace
which a vehicle offers after dark to the
other occupants of the streets.
