The New York Railroad Terminal.

Next Monday. according TO present pro-
gram. the Nsw York aldermen composing
a special committee on the proposed Penn
sylvania tunrH franchise will meet ard
pass upon the contract, which has been
held up for several months because Of op-
position in the board of aldermen to some
OF IT'S terms. The expectation is that this
committee will approve the contract and
recommend favorable action by the board
at the meeting to be held Tuesday. 1t is
significant that President Cantor OF the
board. who has been most active hereto
fore In opposition TO me contract, has gone
west. and win not be present during the
meetings at which 1t Is believed Favorable
action will be taken. This is regarded as
surrender by him, and there is now a gen
erai belief that barring a few preliminaries
tn give the obstructive aldermen chance
to retreat grace fully the ordinance viii
soon be passed and the preparations VIII
be forthwith begun on the construction of
the great tunnel and terminal
1t IS unfortunate that so desirable an i'm
prov ement should have been obstruesed for
the months during which the aliermen
nave interposed paipab.y manufactured OBJ
1eetions to the franchise. The contract as
originally drawn was carefully guardee.

Regulate All Autos.

The Commissioners having decided to
adopt more stringent regulations regarding
all automatic vehicles than are now in
force. it is desirable that the whole mat
ter of the management of these machines
be opened up for consideration. Heretofore
the drivers of steam machines only have
been required to secure licenses, while the
operators of electro and gasoline explosion
vehicles have been free to the streets
subject only to the speed rules, which they
have rept atedly violated. There is practi-
caliy no difference between these classes OF
vehicles, as far az danger to the public is
concerned. lnexpertness or recklessness is
as fragrant in one case in another. 1t is
we'll understood that the licensing of engi-
neers for the steam vehicles is a mere form,
which guarantees only the good character
OF the applicant. And it is equally well
understood that other vehicles are in some
cases run By the most Incompetent persons,
who could not secure even these formal Ii
ceRses. So in the interest of r"gu-
larity and uniformity it is only just that
some broad system of supervision over
those operators be devised.
AT the same time some method of identi-
fying machines and Their owners or oper-
ators should be adopted. such as that in
vogue IN New 1Ork, where the init ais o.
the owner are painted conspicuously on the
back of the machine, or that follow d
abroad. where the machines are number d.
There is now way to distinguish the ma
crimes unless the policeman who observes a
burst of reckless speed or dangerous man
agement chances to recognize the vehicle or
the driver
The speed rules are undeniably v;ola.e ed
frequently. especially in the parks. Gesp te
the warning signs which have been posted
In those places. Boys are even being given
charge of complicated machines susceptible
OF high speeds. Some years ago The Star
was compelled to call atttnti to tie ia ct
that delivery wagons were being rscill ssly
driven by minors, often by mere children.
A series Of acc dents had occurred, one re-
sulting IN the death of little girl The
Commissioners took cognizance of the dan
ger and regulations were adopted placing
an age limit fer this character CT Sc. vice.
Even a gravCr reed has now arisen for a
similar regul alton in connection with the
running of automobiles.

Black Ewes for Lilly Whites"

The Lilly Whites of the south were
soundly drubbed on Tuesday, and nobody
who believes In fair play and straightfor-
ward dealing in politics will regret it. They
deserved that fate If men ever did In this
world. Cheek may be looked for in the po-
litieal game, and 1t sometimes wins, but
just such a display of that article as was
made by the men who organized and led
the Lily White movement in the cam
paig just closed has seldom been witnessed.
Some had previously been democrats, but
had come out of the democratic party, as
they claimed, because Of faith in the re-
publican national policies. They were sem
sitive on the subject of their associates,
and stipulated that their local allies must
all be white men. The beneficiaries for
years, as they frankly confessed of vio-
lence and fraud at the polls, they now stood
forth as the champions Of Responsibility
in politics, and modestly offered themselves
leaders in inaugurating new order OF
things A little weary of the ballot-box
stufflng and the falsified tally sheets which
had characterized local elections for so
many years. and in the fruits of which they
had willingly shared, these superior spirits
now demanded a change of parties for the
SOUTH But, of all things, 1t must be re
spectacle.
Strangely enough, among those who re-
spended to this remarkable call were few
men who had all their lives been republic
cans had never apologized for their affilia-
tions, had been active in the advocacy of
their party's principles, and personally had
profited by their activity. They had ad-
vised the negro-and often to his advante ge
and uplifting as a citizen-had accepted his
vote for office, and on the strength of his
support had attained some distinction at
home But now they were willing, in an
effort to hold on to what the negro had
helped to bestow upon them, to cut his po-
litical acquaintance and unite for future
work with his open and avowed enemy.
They grasped the hands of men whom they
had repeatedly denounced for all the crimes
in the political calendar, and by whom they
had been in turn as roundly denounced, and
soaped up and declared ostentatiously for
''respecta bility."
The whole thing of course got to be riot
ously absurd. The more that thoughtful
people reflected upon it the less they
had for it. and what they did to it when
election day rolled around is LUMINOSITY
displayed in the returns from Virginia. Ala
bama Mississippi, Louisiana and North
Carolina, where the stupid little comedy
was enacted. The southern problem is diff
cult and unfortunate. The best friends of
the south may well wish for a change down
