can doubt that a large proportion of men who

HOPSELESS SPEEDWAY.

The proposition TO construct fifty mile speed
way in the suburbs Of New-York for the exclu-
sive use Of hOrseIess vehicles is cordially TO be
commended If we may repeat again one OF the
most hackneyed of phrases. such a road will hl
a long felt want In the last few years horse
less vehicles have come into wide use One of
their most striking characteristics and the one
which many men seem most to prize, is their
high speed. While it may be doubted whether
in the long run speed is the most valuable OF
qualities, it is unqueStiOnably of great value and
interest. and it is natural and entirely legiti-
mate for the users Of these vehicles to desire to
display and to enjoy their speed Indeed. we
may say it is a hardship for them not to have
such place.
1t is, however entirely obvious that such a
place must be specially and exclusively pro-
vided for them. The of the common roads
for engine racing or speeding would be absO-
lutely intolerable 1t is not permitted to race
horses or to speed them upon the highways,
although horses cannot trot anything like as
fast as automobiles run, nor are they when at
top speed anything like as dangerous to other
wayfarers as are horseIess vehicles. Recogniz-
ing this fact, horsemen have secured in few
cases at public but in the vast majority of
cases at their own private expense, suitable
bits Of road for their own exclusive use, upon
which they can race their horses as they please
without danger to others and without interfer-
ence by other traffic. We have hitherto re-
peatedly suggested that the same thing should
be done for horseless vehicles and it is gratify-
ing to see that an organized movement in that
direction is now under way.
The construction of such n speedway, and,
we may hope, of many such in various places,
should serve as another argument against max
ing any changes in the highway speed laws in
favor Of engines Of any kind. There will then
be place for automobile speeding, and the last
excuse for speeding the common roads will
be removed. At the present moment there is
pending in this city a proposal to alter the
highway laws so as to discriminate in favor Of
automobiles against horses by permitting the
former to travel much faster than the latter.
Such an arrangement would be grossly unjust
and injudciOus. It should be vetoed and dis
missed to limbo with all possible expedition.
The public streets must be managed for the
convenience and welfare Of the many, and not
just to please the whims Of few.
New-York tribune., 1902-05-15
LICENSE BUREAU JUSTICE.

Mr. Mayors Marshal Brown is great Judge,
md it is a pity that he should be hiding his
light under the bushel of the License Bureau.
He ought TO be on the Supreme bench. Sancho
Panza who made reputation in his day for a
sound grasp of the true principles OF jurispru-
dence, seems distinctly inferior to the marshal.
1t is rare man. indeed who can decide on both
sides of the same case. Some juries. it is true,
have done it. One did in the case of the re

dered "old Shakespeare" he ought to have been
executed. If the police were making victim
of him TO save their own reputation he should
not have been sent 10 prison at all. The prose
cution's case fiimsy that the jury did not
more than half believe it. but the poor Algerian
was so incapable of making effective reply TO
the charges that the jury compromised with
verdict which said in effect, 'Not guilty, but go
where you can't do it again.
The marshal follows this precedent in deal
dng with Molt the cabman accused of charging
a young Irish girl immigrant ST for taking her
a distance Of one block. The girl, who a
stranger hired q cab to take her from the
lAnchor Line pier, which is at Twenty-fourth-st,
to the Twenty -third-st. ferry. The driver drove
her about the streets for some ten minutes, set
her down at the ferry, and when she gave him
n sovereign handed her back 81 in change. She
was EurprlSeu, anu llnmeuldlely IOlu q ponce
man. pointing out Molt the cabman. Before
the marshal Molt denied that the girl had been
his passenger but she positively identified him.
The porter at the ferry testified that he helped
her out OF Motifs carriage, though the driver
tried TO break the force Of his testimony by
showing that he was mistaken by one hour
In his first statement, which he afterward
amended, TO the time OF day when the Incl

not strong enough TO warrant imposition of
penalties. Molt, though he denied in one breath

IRRECLATHABLE.

Lewis Nixon has resigned the leadership OF
Tammany Hall Like Mr. Shepard, he tried
to reform it from the inside, and he finds the
task hopeless He declares he could not retain
his self-respect and the leadership of Tammany
Hail. Put nominally in absolute control, he
found himself thwarted at every hand. and the
influence of the politicians who begged him TO
lead them used secretly to undermine him. He
himself thus reports the situation:
/ accepted the leadership OF Tammany against
my will. and did only because thought at
that time that there was chance for everybody
to join together in doing what was right and to
again lift the organization TO that standard
which should inspire public confidence. have
worked along these lines from the beginning.
and while / thought / was making considerable
progress, recent developments make 1t appear
that my efforts were unavailing.
Whether Mr. Nixon's failure was mainly due
to the fact that he was thought too much the
mouthpiece of Croker by that element of the
Wigwam which wished to throw off entirely
the Lord of Vantage, or to the fact that
Croker's friends did not take him seriously as
a leader makes no difference in the end. Neither
party was pleased with him. and neither could
be so long as he stood for anything different
from the old policy of corruption. Tammany
may split into factions but Tammany, with
Croker or without cannot be anything but the
old disreputable organization. Corruption is its
life blood, and the leader who tries to purify
it undertakes TO bleed 1t to death. Mr.. Nixon
is well meaning man, and doubtless he did
his best whether at Croker'S suggestion or of
his own motion, to give Tammany a respectable
character. But Carroll and Van WyC1 and their
fellows have no use for responsibility, and Mr.
Nixon has found it out in time to withdraw and
save his own reputation.
1t is too early yet TO forecast the future Of
the unruly organization which has thus blown
its respectable head off. 1t may have disrupted
itself in the process or it may simply have freed
itself from the burden Of decency which it de-
spised and hated. Whether Croker comes back,
or some other figurehead takes the place, or
the insurgents openly assume control the i'm
portant and Interchangeable fact to be noted is the
hopelessness of attempts to reform Tammany
and make it command public confidence. 1t is
the same old enemy which the people must keep
down if they would not be plundered no matter
what virtuous pretensions it may make.

KENTUCKY AND THE BARTENDEPS.

A committee with a fine sense of the fitness
of things must have fixed upon Louisville as
the place for the tenth annual convention Of
the International Alliance of Bartenders, Wait
ers and Restaurant Employees of the United
States and Canada which is now in session in
the Sour Mash Metropolis. AS the Mayor of the
city felicitously remarked in his address of
welcome to the delegates municipality blessed
with thirty-four distileries and nineteen brew
cries ought certainly to insure its guests against
the horrors of thirst. Nor are all the benefits
of the meeting likely to be one side for
while Louisville extends her hospitality in true
Kentucky fashion. she is justified in expecting a
substantial return in the boom which the States
staple product must receive at the hands Of the
largest gathering of drink mixers which has
yet met in America, when they shall have scat
tered to their homes.
Yet, it is apparently only an academic interest
which the delegates take in the materials of
their calling. for the Louisville press lays stress

LAWS FOR THE CUBAN REPUBLIC.

GENERAL WOOD ISSUES AN IMPORTANT
ORDER REGARDING RAILROADS.
Washington. May 14.-In the closing days OF
his administration General Leonard Wood has
made two orders of Importance to Cuba. which,
under the terms OF the PIatt amendment, will
become part Of the organic law OF the new re-
public. One relates to the Cuban railroads, and
through a commission prescribes in the mnut-
est detail the tariff to be charged on all kinds
of commodities. passenger rates, baggage allow
ances and other matters of vital Importance TO
the railroads and to the Cuban Republic
Another order prohibits fishing in certain
specified zones under penalty OF fine.
Still another order from General Wood grants
relief to Elmer c. WestaH from the penalties
imposed on him by sentence of the Audiencia
of Havana last February
