The New Auto Regulations.

The new automobile regulations change
the existing local laws chiefly in the matter
of requiring that the machines bear num-
bers conspicuously displayed upon the rear.
This rule will enable policemen and citizens
to identify lawbreakerS. The regula tons
do not go as far as some advocates of
greater stringency in this respect desired.
failing to provide for forfeiture of the
license in case of repeated violations. The
maximum fine remains at present $40,
and it rests now upon the court to impose
that maximum In cases where there Is no
element Of doubt as to the guilt of the
offender Many believe that filming alone
will not avail to correct the dangerous
habits of reckless owners Of speedy We
hcles, the street locomotives which not
only brighten horses but menace lives by
reason of their great weight and high
speeds. Perhaps, however, now that it will
be impossible for offending auto owners to
escape unidentified from situations in which
they figure as lawbreakers even when limbs
are not broken or lives sacrificed-in such
a case, for instance. as that noted by a
correspondent Of The Star in yesterdays
issue-they will be more careful and con-
siderate of their own regulations, If not of
the rights of other street users.

No Sunday Racing.

The "prunes and prisms" apprehensions
of the English newspapers lest Sir Thomas
Upton may be forced to scratch some
of his races for the Americas cup on ac-
count of a schedule calling for Sunday con-
tests are pitiful to observe. They noted
that Reliance went out the other Sunday
for a trying-out spin in the sound. and
therefore jumped at once to the conclusion
that the American yachtsmen regard Sun
day racing as proper. If they had con-
suited their note books and sporting records
they would have found that in all previous
regattas for this trophy the races have
been scheduled for Mondays. Wednesdays
and Fridays. or for Tuesdays Thursdays
and Saturdays. No cup race has ever been
sailed on Sunday. nor. for that matter.
has any other yachting event taken place

his time steadily advancing; and he had
that satisfaction to the full.
But the educator now is~becOming better

supersedlng the mere politician in popular
fame and in popular appreciation. Inc
value of his services is beginning to be
rated at the true figure. And he has more
to work with than ever before. DR.. Curry
and his fellow pioneers so smoothed the
way and so pointed to the Importance Of
the field that money in great abundance Is
being contributed to the spread of knowl-
edge throughout the whole of the old slave
territory. Thousands of dollars are to be
obtained now where hundreds were with
difficulty secured before.
But in this particular DR.. Currys fortune
is not strange. 1t happens to many men
not to be popularity accredited with their
best performances during their lifetime. 1t
is only after the record is complete and the
men themselves are gone that the judg-
ment of the world begins to take the proper
shape. So that IT, during his closing years.

Mr.. Bryan's Political Honesty.

The New York World wants to know if
Mr.. Bryan is politically honest" 1t bases
the question upon the fact that Senator
Clark of Montana, whose record in his first
race for the Senate it recites and Senator
Stone. whose record a lobbyist before
the Missouri legislature it recites. are
among his friends and supporters. Can he
accept campaign contributions and other
assistance from such sources and escape
censure? man. the World observes. is
known by the company he keeps. So he is.
But has the World never heard that other
true saying, that politics makes strange
bedfellows?
Let us suppose case. The World hopes
to see Mr.. Cleveland the democratic leader
again next year. 1t Is endeavoring to per-
suade it's party to take him. 1t accredits
him with many strong and high qualities.
1t considers him sound on the leading
issues of the day. and 1t dwells upon his
patriotic purposes and incorruptible char
acter. Suppose he is nominated for Presi-
dent next year. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Stone
are not for him, but if he is made the
party's candidate there is no reason to
doubt that both will support him, the one
by a liberal campaign contribution. and
the other by series Of speeches. VIII the
w
land cannot afford to accept either the
money of the one or the OratOry of the
other? If not. why not? If Mr.. Bryan is
discredited by such assistance why will not
Mr. Cleveland be discredited by 1t?
Now let us recall a case. Tammany Hall
has never worked for Mr. Cleveland's nomi
nation for President. but it has always
worked for his election when, against it's
advice. he was made the party's nominee.
And. as we all know, Tammany's methods
are about as foul as foul can be. Paddy
Diver in his day was great colonizer and
cheat at the polls. And yet Mr.. Cleveland
after one of his successes met Diver and
thanked him for his services on election
day. If we all know Richard Croker pretty
we'll we are in a measure indebted to the
World for that knowledge. 1t has held him
up - obloquy without mercy. And yet Mr..
Croker has three times supported Mr..
Cleveland for President, both by contribu-
tons to campaign funds, and by fine
work in the matter of organizing the
boys in New York. Did the World object
to that? OF course not
Mr. Bryan is as honest as political
leader is permitted to be. He is q very
much mistaken man in some of his views
and some of his company is questionable
but he does not on that account suffer by
comparison with his rivals

Nonresident Property Owners.

The difficulties in the way of securing
the District governments help in the drain
ing of a stagnant pond close by a thickly
settled residence district in the northwest
ern section of the capital suggest the need
of immediate amendments to the laws re-
garding the imposition of penalties upon
nonresident owners of local property The
snow and ice law and that which prohibits
the accumulation of other refuse on the
sidewalks and pavements in consequence
of the neglect of the owner of abutting
property have never been properly enforced
on account of the lack of effective means
of reaching this class of owners Resident
owners are liable to special assessments
for emergency uses and fines for failing to
abate nuisances. but those who own local
property and live elsewhere are compare
lively immune from all penalties. House
holders are fined for failing to ciean their
walks promptly in winter, while entire
blocks of vacant ground are left without
the touch of a shovel, to the infinite an
noyance and discomfort of the public with
out cost to the owners, merely because they
are non-residents and the laws do not
reach them, while the appropriations for
public cleaning are not large enough to
enable the Commissioners to do the work
and charge the cost against the property.
In the case of this stagnant water, the
nonresident owners of the property can
not be reached. and the Commissioners ex
plain that they have often appealed to
Congress for relief from the conditions
caused by the laws. They should not de-
sist from their efforts in this direction,
however but next winter renew their APP
peals and urge the passage of law which
will enable them to mulct non-residents
equally with resident owners.

Mr.. Cleveland at Cumberland.

The crowd at Cumberland last night
greeted with an old cry the train en- route
to St Louis. Grover. Grover! -Four more
years of Grover!" Mr. Cleveland responded
with bow and started to express his
thanks but the train moved on ana his
eloauence was npped at the close of the
first sentence.
VIII this old cry be taken up and swell
in volume until the country rings with 1t?
1t is not very musical. but 1t spread very
rapidly In 1892. 1t served a variety OF
purposes Marching clubs put their feet
down to 1t. Banners were waved in time to
It. Bettors held out their offerings while
repeating it. Before the campaign was
over. indeed, 1t had quite superseded the
democratic platform. The cries of free
trade and mo force bill. no negro domi-
nation" sounded faint by comparison with
this lusty shout for -four years more OF
Grover" Nobody seemed to have fash
ionad in his mind just what -four years
more of Grover would bring to the coun-
try beyond a change In all the principal
federal offices, but that was neither here
nor there. The cry went on.
Cumberland Is In the state of Maryland,
and Maryland is the home of Mr.. German.
Was this demonstration neighborly? Mr..
party's leadership next year. Indeed, there
Is something of German boom observable
just now. After holding the center of the
stage for few months. the Parker boom
has yielded the place. In Texas in Vir-
ginia. and in other parts of the south the
Maryland senator is the subject of many
complimentary notices. How discordant.
therefore. this cry from the senator's own
state at this time! Why should the demo-
Gratis Of Cumberland have crowded around
Mr.. Cleveland's car and given him such
assurances Of favor? Why not have con-
tented themselves with hearty salute and
let 1t go at that?
Everything shows that we are entering
upon period of extraordinary political ac-
tivity. and maybe of some startling sur
prises The names of Hill, and Parker, and
German. and Olney and Harrison have a GER
tain potency. But does any name outside of
distinctly Bryanite circles carry as far as
that of Cleveland? If Bryan is to rule in
the democratic councils next year no man
on that list will be nominated for Presi-
dent. If Organism is not to rule will the
democracy. asking support on change Of
front. nominate the man who on his record
stands most consplcuously for the very op-
posite of Organism?

The Giles Case.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
There is not the slightest question that the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments confer
civil rights. They are not merely political
declarations under which Congress acts at
discretion. as in the matter Of executing a
treaty promise or annexing territory. The
former has time and again been success
fully invoked to secure citizens of the
United States against misuse by state gov
ernments of their powers Nobody attempts
to deny that constitutions like that of Ala
bama are meant to deprive the negroes OF
their rights as federal citizens without TAX
ing the same rights away from white men.
Some southern politicians say that they
have been clever enough to do this indi-
rectly but 1t Is a fundamental principle OF
law that what Is forbidden directly cannot
be done indirectly. There are other cases
coming up to the Supreme Court which 1t is
believed will bring the validity of the dis
franchising and discriminating constitutions
more directly to the issue and make more
difficult evasion of the real question of
negro rights under the fourteenth and flf-
tenth amendments. Somewhere somehow
there must be way of passing on the con-
stitutionality of state laws which plainly
nullify the spirit of the federal Constitution.
and 1t Is no more an assumption Of the ad-
ministrative functions of a state govern
ment for the court to declare that state au-
thorities cannot deprive negroes of ballot
on pretexts which do not exclude white men
than 1t Is for the court to override any
other action of a state or its officers

vantage. And that he would enjoy himself

difficulty in getting into the proper trim.
If he should care for particulars on this

DR.. Curry's Public Services.

Writing from Richmond Mr.. Taicott Will
liams OF the Philadelphia Press says:
with meeting held Sunday night in
memory of the late ]. l.. NJ Curry. the
southern educational conference came to
end. He was for twenty-one years sec
rotary of the Peabody and Slater funds.
He was the almoner OF millions of dollars
His policy established normal schools in
every southern state. His voice and in
huence did more than the work OF any
other one man to give eleven states their
present public school system. He was
through a score of years. for a third OF our
population the greatest educational force
its millions knew. Yet. It Is literally true
that most who read these lines would be
put to 1t to tell who he was or what he had
done. except that he was twice minister to

Mr.. Williams does not put too high an
appraisement upon DIR. Curry's educa tional
work. 1t was not only highly important.
but 1t was performed under many difficult
ties. 1t was undertaken at a time when
the situation In the south would have dis
couraged any man less courageous and
competent than DIR. Curry. But, fortu-
nateiy for the south. and indirectly for the
whole country. he was both courageous and
competent. and. moreover. knew the field
thoroughly and had the confidence of the

big foot ball games all take place on week
days" It Is important to note in this con-
nection that such infractions of the Sab
bath as have occurred in this country IN
the name of sport and entertainment owe
their origin to European influences. The
custom of playing games and opening the
aters and racing horses on Sunday In Amer
lea spread almost wholly from the Louisi-

French immigrants who brought to these
shores their peculiar customs and beliefs
in this respect. But this French view OF
