throughout the winter is to simply

this is done, the tubers will be as dry

Air Brakes Not Sufficient.

The terribly fatal railroad wreck in Mich
igan seems to have been caused either by
failure of the engineer of the second sec
ton of the train to apply his air brakes
after seeing the signal to stop, or by
failure of the brakes to work properly. The
railroad companys preliminary report
points to proof that the brakes were not
set. The engineer, who escaped from the
wreck alive, declares that he tried to set
them, but that they would not work Thus
the issue hangs, while more than a score of
dead people await burial and many more
are hanging between life and death as a
result of their injuries. The public should
be guaranteed greater certainty In the as
certainment of responsibility whenever
these calamities befall 1t. But even when
the issue Is determined the question re-
ours, why reliance should continue to be
placed by railroad managers in devices
which fail VIGOROUSLY so often. There is
now in use In Germany on an experimental
basis a device which automatically checks
the train whenever 1T approaches danger
point. The throttle is reversed If the engi-
neer does not himself heed the warning and
apply the brakes. 1t does not excuse the
management of railroad lines to say that
these congestions which lead to collisions
occur between blocks. They should never
so occur If the ordinary rules of prudence
are observed. The block signal system.
which is considered today as an absolute
essential on every line, should be operated
on the principle that 1t is impossible for
two trains ever to occupy the same block,
going the same direction. at the same time.
Thus If reliance cannot be placed in the
human agencies. in the signal tower or the
engine cab, some perfect automatic device
must be found which will supplant the
towerman or the engineer the moment they
fail to respond to the call of danger, and
stop the train. Such a device can be con-
ceived, has, In fact, been produced. 1t is
absurd in these days to declare the impos-
sibility of finding 1t.

The Airship Test,

The Stars special report OF the flight OF
the Langley airship model this morning
throws no light either on the prospect for
the success Of the ultimate tests or the
reasons for the absurd secrecy which has
been maintained by the expedition. The
whole affair has been rendered ridiculous
by the excessive precautions of the MEM
bers of the party to prevent the exposure
of any part Of the mechanism and the re-
fusal to take the correspondents into con-
fidence with regard to the date Of the
trials. No possible harm to the enterprise
has been done today by the description
which The Stars representative was en-
abled to give Of the flight of the model and
of its appearance. None could have been
done had Prof. Langley invited selected
corps of newspaper men to the scene of the
experiments and given them full access
to the tests. Todays preliminary fight
does not appear to have established any
principle whatever. It is necessary to
await the test Of the machine in chief,
which may now, in consequence Of the ex-
perience Of the managers Of the tests, be
submitted to a general alteration, involving
another rtdicule-provoking delay.

Automobile Regulation.

Three New York Justices in special ses-
sions yesterday declared unconstitutional
an important section Of the Bailey automo-
bile law which was enacted by the legisla-
ture last winter and has since been the sub
5ect OF bitter controversy. The court held
that the statute controverted the funda-
mental law Of the state in that 1t discrim-
mated between classes Of automobolists. On
this point 1t said,
''The court holds that the provision Of
the Bailey law requiring the owners of
automobiles to register with the secretary
OF state and obtain certificates and display
numbers on the backs Of their automobiles
is unconstitutional. because 1t discriminates
between persons of the same class the
class being users of automobiles on the
highways. We hold that the sole purpose
OF this provision Is to identify automobiles
and their owners, and that while this pro-
vision Is wise. there is no reason why all
persons using automobiles should not be
treated alike. The Identification should
apply to all automobiles and users Of such

A Dark Horse.

Are any of our American politicians, with
eyes on the White House and hopes of next
years opportunity, Weighing the result at
Rome to the full value OF its possible
warning and Instruction.
Plus x was dark horse. He had never
cherished an ambition to be pope. He had
seldom visited Rome. and had taken no
part in shaping the great policies OF the
church. The capital and what went on
there In the Vatican councils did not ap-
peal to him. His work at Venice satisfied
his ambition and filled his heart. SO that
he went to the conclave unboomed and
without thought Of promotion. 1t is said
he purchased a round-trip ticket when he
left home. He might have been elected
pope on the sixth ballot, but was in such
state of protest against the proffered
honor that his supporters found it neces-
sary to labor with him little longer. He
finally accepted, but could not conceal his
agitation at the unsought and unwelcome
eminence he had attained.
Near him sat several men whose hopes
had been high and whose supporters had
been untiring Rampolla. Gotti, Vannu-
tell and Oreglia, all had been doomed, and
with many reasons. Brilliant men, skilled
in the church's business and ambitious to
receive its highest honor, they had taken
prominent place in all Of the speculat ton
attaching to the succession. Each had
devoted following. Each because OF his
long familiarity with the life at the Vati-
can and his own part in affairs there could
be expected If elected pope to carry easily
the burdens of the office. But the coveted
prize was not for any OF them. Their
strength and prominence and strenuous
ness worked their undoing. They who de-
sired the prize, and whose friends had been
SO active in their behalf saw 1t go to one
who had never lifted finger to control
the situation in his own behalf

Elections have become so corrupt that
whereas once took great interest, now I
do not see any use in registering. There

Is all sham and delusion. This Is how
feel about It,"
MI. Rains should reconsider his determi-
nation to give up voting. He and all others
entitled to the franchise should exercise It.
The battle for what he desires Is just be-
ginning. The outlook may be discouraging.
The politicians may be exercising their
power with but small regard for the peace
anC welfare Of the country. But II all
those who see as clearly as Mr.. Rains does
the danger that confronts US and the gait
we are going will exert themselves at the
primaries and on election day in favor Of
better order Of things it can be brought
about at an early day. When Mr.. Rains
was younger man and a soldier he proba-
bly, did not throw down his gun after one
or two defeats.
The machine politicians rejoice in depriv-
ing the helpless of their ballots and in dis
couraging those whom they cannot reach
by force or trick legislation from casting
theirs. That is the situation they are try
ing to make national. That Is their hope
Of ruling things Indefinitely. In the Ian
guage of the street. everything goes with
them. And it must be admitted that In
certain sections Of the country they have
had large measure of success. BY one
means or another they have brought the
electorate down to small figures and are
masters Of very questionable situation.
But they are playing their game too bold
ly. They are showing a too reckless dis
regard of law and justice in furthering
their ends. The day of reckoning cannot
be far off. and men of the stamp of Mfr.
Rains should bestir themselves to help
hasten it

Mr.. Cleveland and MI. German.

Eugene " Brewster. since 1896 one Of Mr..
Bryan's principal ieutenants in New York
state, has in rather emphatic terms. re-
nounced his allegiance to the Nebraskan
orator. and Is now touting for the man
whom above all others. Mr.. Bryan holds
responsible for the disasters of 1895 and
1900. Says Mr.. Brewster in an interview:
Mr.. Bryan's attack yesterday on Mr..
Cleveland convinces me that Mr.. Bryan's
poiSe and balance are lacking. / was dis
agreeably surprised this morning when I
read Mr.. Bryan's speech. If had been a
candidate for the presidency should con-
slider it beneath my dignity to call an ex-
President a bunco steerer. The speech de-
lfvered by Mr.. Bryan yesterday is not the
only one of his speeches which has my dis
approval-four or five of his other recent
ones have contained remarks which were
distasteful to me-"
who do you think will be the next DEM
ocratic nomnee?"
II think the next democratic nominee will
be Grover Cleveland. Johnson is not to be
considered and neither is German nor
Parker. If the party hopes to win 1t must
get back to the solid Cleveland principles
those of Jefferson. German practically sold
the party out when Cleveland was trying
TO get his tariff reform measures through"
So great stickler for dignity and pro-
priety in others should have a care as to
his own walk and talk. Why lecture Mr..
Bryan for accusing Mr.. Cleveland of work.
ing bunco game on the democratic party
in the matter of silver. and then turn and
accuse Mr.. German of selling out the party
in the matter of the tariff7
As a matter of fact, one of the stupidest
things In the world Is this railing at Mr..
German by the Clevelandites for the part
he played in the revision Of the tariff in
1894. What other part could he consist
emily have played? He had no more pre-
tended to be free trader than Mr.. Cleve-
land had pretended to be free slverite
He believed in protection as q principle,
and had been elected to the Senate by
constituency well advised as. to his attt-
tude on the tariff. The Wilson bill, drawn
by men protesting extreme low tariff
views, came into Mr.. Germans hands and
he amended 1t in accordance with his own
views. He refused firmly to surrender
his views the tariff to the free traders
as Mr. Cleveland had refused six months
before to surrender his financial views to
the free silverites. Why Is 1t that Mr..
Cleveland Is SO lauded for his flrmness
and Mr.. German so denounced for his?
We are told OF course that the demo-
cratic platform of 1892 had scored the
Sherman act a makeshift and demanded
its repeal. But that was voted for by the
silver men, ana upon the express under
standing that something better was to be
put in Its place. When Mr.. Cleveland
took Office he asked for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act and
was opposed by his party in Congress be-
cause he fused to commit himself as to
his further steps in the premises He car
ried his point, with the assistance OF the
republicans. and then dropped the subject.
as the democrats who wanted something
done for silver had been fearful that he
would do
