Automobile Use Increasing.

1t is estimated that automobiles valued at
$1:2G0, 600 have been sold during the exhibit
ton of those machines now in progress in
New York. Already there are thousands of
these machines in actual use, large per-
centage of them having been purchased ex-
cusively for convenience in the transac-
ton Of business. Naturally the tendency
toward high prices checks the rapid devel-
0pment of this phase of the Industry, but
there is a general belief that in the course
the machinery of manufacture will bring
the rates down and greatly popularize the
automobile.
The people who do not expect to buy au-
tomobiles for several years, until the prices
drop considerably, in fact, hope that the
increasing use of these machines will cause
a quickening of the public impulse toward
good road making. Representative, Brown
low of Tennessee is now pressing bill for
the organization of a government bureau Of
good roads, with wide powers and ample
means for the systematic improvement of
the highways. Doubtless he will find him.
self materially aided by the constantly
growing ranks of automobile owners, who
naturally will support any movement look
ing to an increase in the usefulness of their
machines and the consequent value of their
investment in pleasure The general public
neither present nor prospective buyers, will
meanwhile hope that the period of crazy
and dangerous enthusiasm has passed
and that the automobile will steadily fall
under reasonable regulation and cease to
be a menace to the lives and limbs Of street
users

Richard Croker.

Mr.. Croker will it is reported return in
March. The rest is conjecture. One sug-
gestion is that rather stiff assessment Is
troubling him. and he is cominG back to
swear it Off. Another Is that he wants ad-
predicts that notwithstanding his repeated
and consistent denials. his real object Is to
look over the political field and IL possible
resume in some sly fashion the leadership
of Tammany Hall. He is an interesting
man. and whether his stay in the country
is long or short. his movements unguarded
or mysterious. his presence will give rise
to a good deal of gossip
Some of Mr. Cookers former leutenants
are confident that he is out of politics for
good. They have accepted without reserva-
ton his own statement to that effect. They
see him in the. minds eye spending the
rest of his days without particular worry,
and dividing the time between New York
and Vantage. His fortune, they think, is
sufficient to satisfy him. His English stable
will afford him all the excitement he de-
sirss. while his visits to New York will
keep him sufficiently in touch with old
friends and old scenes. Why they ask,
longer for the storm and stress of state
and municipal politics?
These may be right. And yet we
have to consider that Mr.. Croker has spent
nearly all Of his time since attaining his
majority in politics.; that he possesses I'M
usual gifts for playing the game; that the
game was never more interesting than now:
that he Is neither an old nor q broken man

there will be much necessary doubling in
the rooms, With the consequence that hun
dreds of the children must attend only half
a day. The pending bill provides for one
eight-room building and for four-room
addition to one of those now in service.
The fire department is given in the bill an
increase of one new engine company. for
the southwestern section of the city, three
chemical engines and one truck, whereas
there should be fully three times as much
of an increase to afford the city the pro-
lection in emergencies which 1t needs.
After such demonstrations, which might
be extended into practically every branch
of the municipal government no one could
conscientiously declare that the city's grow
ing needs have been met while it is being
forced to assume Immediately the whole
burden of great permanent works. It is
quite as important that the District keep
up with its current needs as to keep out of
debt for it's big ones.

his old guard who sincerely hope to see
him back at the helm again. Need we be
surprised then If the ex-boss should slip his
ex and stand forth once more armed for
the fray and in command of his old battal-
ions?
New York elects mayor next fall, and
Tammany just now is boasting Of its
prospects. 1t believes that the Low admin
istration has made its return to power easy.
AS result there is contest for the demo-
cratic mayoralty nomination. Is 1t likely
that Mr.. Croker is Indifferent as to where
that honor shall go? If this is to be
democratic year in New York city will it
not be of the greatest value to the old
Tammany leader to have friend elected
to the principal office? 1t looks that way.
And 1t may be just as we'll not to count
Mr.. Croker out of the equation upon mere
rumOr, or his own declaration made in an
hour of encouragement. even If recently re-
peated. Politicians, like actors and singers,

The Districts Current Needs

Ihose representatives who believe that
tho appropriation bill which passed the
House the other day amply provides for i'm
heoiate needs OF the District and keeps
pace with its growth, while paving on a
cash basis FOR great public improvements
should take stroll through the city and
look for evidences of insufficient aliotments
for the ordinary items of municipal house
Keeping. They might first step into the
Police Court on busy morning. They
would be speedily convinced of the neces-
sity Tor, an immediate appropriation for
new structure.
They might next visit some of the schools
and coont the children packed into the
rooms under the guidance of overworked
teachers. In some of the rooms they would
find sixty little folks thus brought together
for instruction, more than the seats will ac-
commodate.
Perhaps while the representatives were
thus examining the territory they would be
treated to a large conflagration in the CEN
ter of the business district and while
watching the eXcelieptly drilled firemen
fight ii they would be startled to hear the
alarm sound for second large blaze in the
residence section. They would then realize
the narrow margin which now stretches
between the people of Washington and the
fire menace. 1t has been repeatedly demon
strated that the capital imperatively needs
larger reserve fire force. so that it might
with greater confidence face the possibility.
which exists in every large community of
a coincidence of two fires of the first class

provision for only $500 worth of repairs TO
the Police Court building. the merest trife

replace that miserable makeshift with n

The Contest in Colorado.

Truth to say. that is not a very edifying
spectacle at Denver. The corridors Of the
state house swarming with constables, the
desks Of the senate chamber decorated
with loaded revolvers, doors locked on the
representatives of the people, and all tenn
pers on the hair-trigger, suggest anything
but the proper procedure. What should we
be saying if such a thing took place at
Havana? That the CubanS are incapable of
self-government. What pity, it would be
exclaimed, we ever assisted such people to
set up in business for themselves! What
travesty on free government! What should
we say if such thing took place in France?
That the French have no real conception
of "a republican form of government, and
are rapidly preparing for the return of the
Man on Horseback. But as it takes place
within our own borders, like it as little as
we may, we yet do not despair of Ameri-
can institutions. We comfort ourselves
with the reflection that such things will
happen even in the best-regulated political
families
In judging the case several matters are
to be taken into account. Within the past
six years Colorado has been the scene of
some fierce contests. The political kettle
has been at the boiling point the whole
time. The silver issue wiped out a sub
stantial republican majority and gave the
state to the democrats by a vote that sur
prised the nation. Lifelong republicans
turned away from their party and an
nounced that they were done with it for
ever. Mr.. Teller amazed his old associates
last year by declaring that many ques-
tons his sympathies had always been with
the democracy. Then came a change, and
the republicans in November elected their
state ticket and polled SO large vote in
the legislative races that the control of the
legislature on. joint ballot for the election
of United States senator became the SUBJ
ject of bitter dispute. And feeling has been
running high ever since.
We have then to consider that in the SEN
atorial fight the fortunes of two strong
men are involved. Mr.. Teller is a veteran
on the national stage and identified with
good deal. of republican history. 1t is a
little startling to find him at this late day
in the democratic camp; and his change of
nents. Mr.. Wolcott is brilliant man and
has many admirers. His friends are quite
as ardent as his enemies. and wherever his
flag appears the struggle is certain to be
interesting. Called upon to choose between
these two men in the circumstances, with
bitter opponents of Wolcott in his own po-
litical camp adding to the complication, the
legislature of Colorado is naturally greatly
wrought I'D

The Canal Treaty.

The President and Colombia have at last
come to an agreement and the canal treaty
is signed. The negotiations have been in
such shape ever since the change of Colom-
bian ministers at this capital that agree
ment was possible any day. The issues be-
tween the two governments related in the
end to the amount of money to be paid by
the United States for the grant Of strip
of Venezuelan territory and the terms of
payment. In view of the overwhelming
desire of the people of this country for the
construction of the canal Colombia had
reason to expect high bidding. But in view
on the other hand of the alternative of the
Nicaragua route offered by the legislation
or last year the United States had good
ground to expect Colombia to be reasona-
Bile. These two factors played against each
other with the effect, 1t would seem, of
gradually narrowing the difference between
the two parties. until at last a bargain was
struck and now the treaty is to be submit
ted to the two legislative bodies for ratifica-
ton.
There Is every reason to expect action
by the United States Senate before adjourn
ment March 4th. The enemies of an 18TH
milan canal may endeavor to block the
course Of the treaty. But these interests
have pretty we'll played themselves out
The motives of the opposition would now
be quickly disclosed. There Is nothing
more important before the upper house of
Congress than this treaty. A project for
which the country has waited for decades
is on the eve of accomplishment All that
Is now needed to assure success is the for
mai approval of the canal agreement by the
senate OF this country and the congress of
Colombia
