The safe arrival of Miss Stone in London after her long captivity has

 Now that the affair is all over it is perhaps just as well to be frank and admit that there has existed in the public mind a certain feeling of impatience over the thought that Q woman should take such needless risks as did Miss Stone in passing through a region known to be infested by brigands It was not 9 necessary part of her work, and everyone instinctively felt this. Hence it was found to be impossible to raise the ransom originally demanded by her captors in spite of the most sensational appeals.

 Because Of this very widespread feel ing about the case Of Miss Stone the existing clash between the American consul general. 1Lr.

Tn the municipal elections which were held all over the country on Monday and Tuesday of this week We fail to discern any signs of the disintegration of the national republican party which the democrats had assured us woIld manifest itself at the first favora bic opportunity. It is true that municipal elections do not usually involve na- tional issues and what town may do at it's spring election and what it may do when it comes to voting for . con gress1can or state officials are generally two different things.

Averting n Panic.

On one occasion John Philip Sousa by
his promptness was the direct means
of stopping panic which might have
had the most disastrous results. While
his band was playing before $1,000 peo-
pie in st. Louis the electric lights in
the hall went out suddenly. People
began to move uneasily in their seats,
and some even began to make a rush
for the doors. Coolly tapping with his
baton, Sousa gave Il signal, and imme
diatply his band began playing, "Oh,
Dear What Can the Matter Be-" A
tiny ripple of laughter that went round
the audience showed that confidence
had partially been restored. When the
band began to play "Wait Till the
Clouds Roll By" the laughter deep
ened into roar of merriment that
only ended when the lights were turn
ed on again.

Excessive speea I'm the Streets.

Many complaints are being heard of late
against the practice Of the drivers Of au-
tomato vehicles in exceeding the speed
laws and endangering the lives Of pedes-
trians. Narrow escapes are frequently OBJ
served in the main streets. There are few
of these machines. whether electric or
steam, which do not easily overhaul the
electric cars. themselves squeezing the
limit of the law. Policemen detailed to ar
rest offenders are handicapped by the ra-
pidity with which these vehicles are ma
neuvered and doubtless to every arrest for
law breaking hundred offenders evade ap-
prehension. II this nuisance continues the
Commissioners have II In their power to
remedy it by adopting an amendment to

but upon friendly footing. There IL no
reason In the world why they should be
enemies. Each could with great advantage
Increase Its trade with the other. There is
not a single vexed problem In the tariff
of either bearing upon the products of the
other which Is beyond the reach of safe
adjustment. 1t Is merely a question of
recognizing the value and importance of
applying the principle OF reciprocity to the
immense and growing outputs of the two
countries. In the general field Of course
1t is matter OF the best man winning.
The Frenchman. the Engishman, the Ger
man. the American, all are there, and all
must abide by the laws of business. The
best stuff at the lowest price will meet
with the quickest sale.
We are disposed in America to class Ger
many with the old powers of Europe. AS
matter of fact she is only thirty years old
as a political power, and younger than
that as commercial power. We began
pulling ourselves together after the civil
war about the same time that she set for
ward on her pathway As regards business
activity, reflected in present conditions the
two countries therefore are about the same
age. She is vigorous and we are vigorous,
and as the pace IS already hot 1t will in
crease as the years go by. But however
hot 1t may become, it should never give
rise to any but friendly relations.

The Big Fair Postponed,

The decision tentatively reached today
after consultation between the President
and the leaders OF the ST. Louis exposi-
tion to postpone the fair for year Is per-
haps wise under all the circumstances. Ac-
cording to the latest reports the work
at st. Louis has not been started as early
as was expected, and there is a strong
chance that even II 1t were hastened to the
utmost speed the fair buildings, planned
upon most extensive scale. would not be
ready for the scheduled opening date in
1908. The chief determining factor how
ever, it appears, Is the difficulty in the
way OF securing large foreign exhibits for
the exposition, owing to the interference of
the great Japanese exposition to be held
next year. The Chicago fair was postponed
year, and thus it did not fall within the
centennial Of the landing of Columbus. This
will now be the case with the St. Louis ex-
position, which, designed to commemorate
the Louisiana Purchase in 1903, will be held
one hundred and one years after the event.

at distance. Any violation of the laws Is
thus made easy OF retribution, for the vigil
liant officer has but to note the number OF
the speeding vehicle and to report it to
headquarters, where the list of numbers,
names and addresses are kept. The Ber-
lin practice Is to subject first offenders to
fine, increased in the second instance. ana
to revoke the license upon repeated VIOLA
tions. The moral effect of the numbering
system would doubtless be Immediately felt
If it were extended to the automobiles and
their kind. The present comparative i'm
munity Of the machine-driver from identifi-
cation unauestionably leads to many reck-
less sprints through the streets whereas
the certainty of being identified by the au-
thorities under the numbering system
would cause most If not all Of the pres
ent offenders to moderate their speeds and
to steer their vehicles with more considera-
tion for the nerves OF other people.

There is. for example. this paragraph in a

The 'Frankfurter Zeitung' publishes n

that these were uninterrupted1y friendly
until German official circles displayed SYM
pathies with Spain at the outbreak Of the

Since that time. the paper goes on to
say. the German government has reached
the conviction, somewhat slowly perhaps,
that the great republic In the west has be-

Street Car Schedules.

The representatives Of the various SUBJ
| urban citizens associations who met last
night to discuss the question OF street rail-
way facilities propose to ask Congress for
legislation which will give the Commission
ers broader power in the arrangement OF
the schedules than they now possess 1t Is
a well-known fact that on some of the car
lines at present the service Is inadequate,
especially upon those lines owned by the
Washington Traction Company which do
not pay dividends. On certain of these
roads cars are run, after O'Clock In the
evening. at half-hour intervals. causing
them to be denseiy crowded. The unfor-
tunate financial condition Of the general
corporation renders it difficult for the COM
pany to render the service which the public
desires, yet there is probably medium be-
tween what the company is willing in the
interests OF economy to do and what the
comfort of the public demands. This medi
um the Commissioners should be able to de-
termine upon and enforce. by occasional re-
adjustments of the schedules. Half-hour
cars do not accord with the modern concep-
tions of urban rapid transit and are even
in question as regards suburban traffic.
Washington's splendid system of electric
lines, second to none in the world, should
be so operated as to give the people the
ma ximum of benefit from the service, and
not to cause the patrons of the roads to be
continually complaining Washington Is,
naturally, a hard city to accommodate with
traction facilities, owing to the spasmodic
rushes of patronage which result from the
sharpness with which the hours of labor
are defined. But the intervals between the
times Of extraordinary traffic might well
be studied with closer attention to the
community's requirements than seems to
have been the case during the past months.
There Is need here OF general system of
official street railway inspection which will
take the initiative in insuring healthful
conditions. the ventilation, heating and
cleansing of the cars, the adjustment of
schedules, etc. While much may be left to
the public spirit and the enterprise Of the
management, the municipal government
should at all times stand ready. through an
efficient bureau of inspection, to enforce
the regulations and to insure a full return
to the people from the railroads use Of the
public spaces.

The Chinese Exclusion Law.

The advocates IN Congress of a renewal
of the Chinese exclusion act, with such
changes as will make 1t the more effective,
are moving with commend able energy. The
way to keep the Chinese out Is to keep up
the bars agains. them. Public sentiment
overwhelmingly sustains the Geary law,
and demands it's continuation on the BOOKS
There are of course, here and there. as
when the law was passed. objections made
to such legislation. But they are either
academic, or else uotoriously selfish. Some
body is arguing an everyday question on
lines of sweetness and light. or on those
OF filing his wallet with hard cash. The
question appeals TO the practical and the
patriotic, aud decision reached on any
other lines would be attended with disaster
to the United States.
The steamship and the railroad compa-
nies, 1t is repeated. consider the law un-
wise. Undoubtedly. 1t interferes with their

large as when they are engaged freely III

another on the planet If they could so ar
range it. they would keep the good people
of the earth constantly on the move.
spirit of unrest would fill every bosom.
But in this matter of the Chinese, what
would be the transportation companies
meat would be this country's poison. We
prefer that the Chinese should not be
moved about at our expense. In the end
we should be called upon to pay the freight.
And the bill would be enormously too
large.
As for retaliation by China, we are
fully prepared and disposed to take that
risk II the proposition were pumped
down for monopoly of the whole import
business of China in exchange for free ac-
cess by the Chinese to the United States IT
would be rejected. We could not afford to
hesitate a day about the decision. There
are things above money price. But we are
running no risk of that kind. Our exclu-
sion of the Chinese has cost us no oppor-
tunity for business in China, and Will cost
us none. The Chinese authorities under
stand the situation. They are not dealt
with by any country on such terms as Is
now proposed to u.s. We are none the
worse off in China for our attitude OF ex-
clusion, and We will pay no penalty for 1t
in future Nor does this result from any
spirit of loving forgiveness on the part of
the Chinese. They simply adjust them
selves to the actual and the inevitable.
We may be sure that no talk about
treaties win avail to secure a postponement
Of this question. 1t does not depend upon
treaties. but treaties upon 1t. As the ex-
isting treaty was shaped to agree with the
Geary law. any future treaty will be shaped
to agree with the form in which the spirit
of that law will be renewed.
