NO RACING on TIE ROADS.

A substantial gain for good government and
public rights is promised in the stopping Of the
proposed automobile road races at Newport and
between Buffalo and Erie. Public spirited citi-
zens of Newport have secured an injunction.
which yesterday was made practically perma-
nent forbidding the use OF a public street for
racing purposes. and the races are accordingly
10 be held on a racetrack instead OF the high
way. 1t is also reported that the proposed races
on the Buffalo Erie road have been abandoned,
or at least TO be transferred TO some other
course. 1t is to be hoped this latter report is
true and that the races will he held. If at ALL on
some private ground.
In this opposition to public road racing there
is no antagonism TO automobiles; for some of
the most resolute of the opponents are them
selves enthusiastic motormen, nor is there in 1t
any mere kill-ioy spirit. 1t arises simply from
a clear perception Of the fact that the public
roads belong to the public for public uses, and
that the private monopolization of them for
racing purposes is a perversion Of use and an
infringement upon public rights. 1t is not
merely question of safety for the time being
No doubt ii would be possible, by excluding the
public from the road during the racing hours
to conduct the races safely as though they
sSere on private course. But il is wrong thus
- exclude the public from its own property
Moreover, there is the important question Of eX
ample and precedent. If a certain road at New
port at Buffalo may thus be taken for racing
purposes, why may not any other piece of
road: And if certain persons may race at high
speed along public thoroughfares why may not
any others?
II would he n mischievous and perilous ex-
ample 10 set. apart from the direct and immedi-
ate injustice involved. The only proper and
safe plan is 10 use the public roads as public
roads. and TO cOnfne racing. whether with
motors or with horses, to the racetracks.

AUSTRIA AND MEXICO.

The arrival in this city few days ago of
Count Gilbert HOhenwart-Ge Gerlachstein on his
way 10 Mexico as Austro- Hungarian Minister
makes timely the translation. which we print
upon another page Of to-days Tribune of an
article in the journal des Debats" of Paris,
relating the train of incidents which led TO
the renewal of diplomatic relations between
Austria and Mexico after an interval of more
than third of n century. The article is from
the pen of one who was an army officer under
Macmillan, and who has since been a civil off
Ger under President DiaZ He therefore writes
with certain degree of sympathy with both
sides in that unhappy conflict. and presumably
with the authoritative knowledge to be expected
of one who participated in the incidents which
he records.
Ii is 10 he inferred from the narrative that
while both the Austrian and Mexican govern
ments long ago made themselves rs amenable

would make any direct advance but finally the
slight impulse needed TO effect an approach

done largely by the venerable Kaiser himself.

heretofore 10 the American negro, because ne
has been led to think Of a return TO Africa as
a practical lapse TO semi-barbarism. Should he
be convinced that in Western Africa conditions
OF life may easily be brought to the level TO
which he Is accustomed here, he might be in
duced TO show some active interest in colonial
ton schemes. Ten years or more ago Senator
Butler of South Carolina, introduced and pushed
a bill in Congress appropriating several million
dollars for the encouragement of negro emigra-
ton The obvious rejOinder was made then
that no new home could be offered the blacks
living in this county sufficiently attractive to
start a voluntary exodus. That such home
NAV be offered within the next generation or
two is possible Meanwhile increasing public
interest is likely TO follow Bishop Turner's ef-
forts TO keep alive the idea that some day con-
ditions may arrive which will make solution
of the Southern race problem easy and certain
conditions which will warrant the free return
of at least a portion of the blacks now here to
the continent from which their progenitors were
kidnapped into slavery.

knowledge that Mexico, under the wise direc-
ton Of President Diaz, has become ii nation
worthy OF recognition even by the oldest and
proudest OF lands. OF truth there is vast
contrast between the Mexico Of Benito Juarez
In 1867 and that OF Porfirio Dlaz in 1904 DIFF

The incident of reconciliation is an important
one in diplomatic history. 1t is a creditable
one in a high degree to both parties concerned.
There does not seem to have been third
acting as intermediary We can add with
confidence that it will prove satisfactory and
gratifying to both. Austria Will find in Mexico
nation worthy of her recognition and of her
friendship, and Mexico will find in Austrian
recognition the last finishing touch to her own
vindication and full habiitatiOn in senti-
mental sense, as she has long had it in
material sense. Thus ends the long estrange-
ment. and thus 1t is brought to pass that there
Is now alienation between no two important
nations OF the world.

if some enfant terrible had made a break in
polite conversation. But the polite people are
under no illusions about the subject. and do not
really need to appear scandalzed. Judges do
not all accept any of the hints of the politicians,
and few of them accept Gll the hints of poll
ticians, yet there Is enough regular political
patronage handed out by judges to keep young
lawyers looking to party leaders for pickings in
their profession, and there is not practising
lawyer in the city who does not know it, and
know that the system has been in operation in
one form or another for years
1t is not an ideal system. From some points
of view it is Il scandalous system but it is not
a scandal that can be laid at the door of any
one judge. department politician or party. 1t
is an abuse of long standing, tolerated with
knowledge by good men, and it will not be cor
rected long the people are ready to pre-
tend they do not see it when they do see 1T per
fectly well. and are only Mortified when some
body compels them to talk about 1t.

NEGRO COLONIZATION.

Bishop Turner, Of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church, has long and zealously advocated
the deportation of the negro as the only prac-
tcable solution Of the race problem in this
country. In an interview, published yester-
day, he urges with renewed energy the project
he has had for many years at heaTt-the return
of the black race TO its native continent. Il am
as much convinced as ever" the veteran negro
leader declared, that African emigration would
"be best for the negro and best for the white
"man: for there is an irresistible conflict be-
tween whites and blacks which nothing but
separation can reconcile and put an end TO-"
The bishop also predicted that if the negroes
now burned and shot in the South for crimes
against women were cropped of their ears and
turned over to him for banshment. he would
make them tho pioneers in Africa of "a new
Rome or a new Australia" II a highway were
once opened to the Dark Continent he argued.

would follow it. and the South would be rid
