Last Tuesday bicycle rider ran into an
aged pedestrian In this city, and caused
such serious Injuries that the victim OF
the collision later died. By lucky chance
the wheelman was arrested at once and
held to await the result of the others
hurts. This is the exceptional case, for
ordinarily bicyclists who get into trouble
in this way scurry or before they can be
apprehended. and there Is the least OF
chances to identify them afterward. The
situation with them is like that with regard
to the automobilists. whose means Of escape
are such as to render them, in the absence of
identifying marks. an especially favored
class of dangerous street users The Ger
man government has recognized this re-
semblance and has required the numbering
and licensing of all bicycles, SO that in
the event of collisions the police are en-
abled quickly to secure the offenders.
The automobilists of this cit have good
ground now for pointing to this fatal col
lision on the part of a wheelman to
strengthen their argument that they should
not be selected for particular treatment
Probably IL the tagging system had been
in vogue in the case Of wheels some years
ago the day Of consderate riding would
have been materially fastened AS it is,
but little trouble is now caused by the BIZ
cyclists. for the mounted policemen who
are trained for successful pursuit, have
taught them wholesome lessons and the
great body of them are now in fairly good
discipline. Yet there remain some scorch-
ers, and the antics Of these few serve to
reflect discredit unjustly upon the many

The Punishment of Countsrfa;te

In the o!deu time ''coiners," as counter
letters or tie coin of the realm were called,

garded their ofTense as among the gravest
possible. They struck at the credit of the
the days VII N it was the fashion of trades
men to clip of bits OF the coins passing
throJ 9Th their hands there was a statute
in vogue in England for time Furnishing
even this offense by death. But counter
feitinS continued despite the severity of
the punishment, for IL was very easy of
accomplishment, while detection of the Of
tenders was difficult AS the methods OF
making coins and paper currency grew
more complex the facilities of the coin
ers" were enlarged through the advances of
science. In fact. the eounterfeiters have
steadily kept pace with the governmental
processes and they are as capable today
or Initiating the money token as they were
relatively two hundred years ago. Core
sPondingly the governmental agencies for
their detection have been enlarged and
the makers OF the queer" are frequently
caught. but no longer is the penalty for
this offense death, nor does the government
exact a severe punishment even for flag
rant offenders against the sanctity of Its
securities. AS an indication OF the light
tstors Of the public tokens view their
offense it is but necessary to note the re-
cent cases in Pennsylvania of counterfeiting
within the very prison walls.
Now it is noted. for the public guidance.

New York's Bridges.

Today The people of Manhattan and
Brooklyn unite in celebrating the formal
opening of the new suspension bridge con-
meeting the two boroughs. Almost twenty
years have elapsed since the first bridge
across the East river was dedicated to pub
lie use. That span of seasons represents the
Sloth of the big city in providing for it's
urgent needs. This Williamsburg bridge
now turned over to the public, has been
more than ten years in process of erection
1t has been in the charge of two different
commissions. 1t has been the bagatelle of
political parties and of factions of municipal
administrations. For many months a stupid
debate on the score OF whether the bridge
should be constructed of cables or eye-bolts
was protracted and the work was cor.
respondingly delayed Plans were changed
repeatedly to suit the ideas of citizens and
engineers. So that with the ordinary labor
troubles and the wrangiings and vancouver
ings of the politicians and officials the con-
Struction work covered fully three times as
long as 1t should and the public was mean
while kept out of the use of the seriously
needed thoroughfare across the river
Meanwhile other bridges have been planned
and some are in the initial processes OF
realization. but no physical signs are as yet
IN evidence and there is every indication
that they will in matter of slow construc-
ton. be similarly illustrative of the manner
in which the big town takes care of its
people. In these twenty years which have
elapsed since the first East river bridge was
constructed at least half a dozen other
bridges should have been thrown across the
river, finished and put into use The money
is there TO do the work, there is no lack of
material and there is most pressing need.
Until New York appreciates the necessity
of doing things of this sort on a big scale
and promptly. after the fashion of we'll
managed business establishments. the trans
portauon problem will remain acute.

Good Weather for Shoppers.

Both the sellers and the buyers of this
city-and those two classes embrace practi-
cally the entire population just at present
should be ferventiy thankful for the excep-
tional weather with which Washington has
been favored during the past fortnight. The
air has been bracing. though cold enough
to call for the use of wraps. The streets
have sheen dry almost the whole of the
period of the heaviest shopping. Without
snow Washington can stand a good deal of
winter sharpness. and 1t especially appre-
ciates the absence of snow at time when
IL is highly important to all factors in the
great Christmas gift equation that no time
or opportunity for shopping should be lost.
The deliveries have been greatly facilitated
by the fine condition of the streets. and pro-
v:ded the people who have money to spend
on presents do not postpone their purchases

For the Eye Of Mr.. German.

The N " 1Ork HeraId.
If Senator German could line up his
democratic associates solidly against the
treaty he could defeat Its ratification, as
the republicans in the Senate fall two votes
short of the required two-thirds; but the
gulf states are so eager for an isthmian
canal that their senators could scarcely be
expected to vote against it, even assum-
Ing that he would personally be willing to
take the responsibility of preventing con-
struction of the canal.
AS for outside denunciation and opposi-
tion 1t will simply bring Americans Of
every shade of opinion together in accep-
tation of the accomplished fact and in sup
port of the administration.

Mr.. Germans leadership.

Is Mr. German reading the leading south
ern newspapers these days? If not. IT
might pay him as presidential candidate
to do SO. They are devoting considerable
space to the Panama nal treaty, and are
urging ratification upon southern senators
as duty they owe to their party no less
than to the country. Tn, defeat Of the
treaty, they assert. through the instrzl-
mentality of the democratic party in the
south would give the republicans a walk
over next year
The Atlanta Constitution (democratic) is
very emphatic on this point. In Thurs
c---'s issue in a double-leaded doubie-coi-
umn editorial it says that II the democratic
senators defeat the treaty the republicans
next year making an issue of the act, will
win a hands-down victory over the de-
mocracy." 1t applauds the attitude of Sen
a,ors Bacon and Clay. who are opposed to
caucus action against the treaty. and urges
them to stand fast.
The New Orleans Times Democrat (dem-
ocratic) speaks quite as empha .,caily. and
declares that whatever chances the de-
mecracy may have for success next year
will be effectuaiiy destroyed by any oppo-
sition it may present as a party to the
The American. the leading republican
newspaper Of Maryland. reminds Mr.. Cor
man today that the interests of Baltimore
are involved in the canal controversy: that
the waters of Chesapeake bay flow in the
direction of the isthmus. and that in op-
posing the canal treaty he is working
against the interests of his own home
people.
Mr. German is said to have a considerable
following in the south as the result of
his part In the defeat of the so-calied Force
bill some years ago. Can he AFFORD to es-
TRANCE 1t by fighting this isthmian water
way. in which the south Is SO vitality inter-
ested? Or does he think that the south Is
safe for him in any event and thai the
proper play Is for greater support in New
York, where the trusts and railway inter-
ests opposed to the canal center?

The Panama and the Paris Treaties.

Mr.. Germans attitude toward the Pan
anna treaty recalls his attitude toward the
Paris peace treaty. He criticised that also,
and II was understood was in favor OF its
rejection Mr. Bryan saved the day so far
as the democrats were concerned he
urged ratification, although with the view
of taking the sense of the country after
ward as to Independence for tine Filipinos.
He did ask a decision on that question in
1900 and the country voted against him.
II is. necessarily. but matter for speCu
Iation as to what would have happened If
the Paris treaty had been rejected. The
situation very delicate one for u.s.
Mr. Mckinley was greatly concerned He
had brought the war to a triumphant close
in very short order and here were the
terms of peace with Spain. The world was
looking on. and the great powers were
much interested. The main point related
TO the Philippines Those islands had not
at the outset entered into our controversy
with Spain But they had come int our
possession part of oYr triumph, and
We were now to decide what to do with
them.
There were four propositions "a Hand

after expelling Spain from Cuba and Porto
Rico for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and when her
record in the Philippines had been fully as
bad as in either of those islands? CD Dis
pose of them to one OF more of the great
powers. But would not such an offer
awaken worldwide distrust and protest?

wrestled with the problem Of selfgovern-
ment. But would not chaos be certain to
follow. and our last condition become worse
than the firstg tD Keep the islands our
selves. and make the best OF a difficult and
unwelcome piece of business
Mr.. Mckinley and his peace commission
ers decided upon the last proposition. They
went over the whole ground thoroughly.
and, in the light of all available informa-
ton. came to the conclusion that American
sovereignty was at once the most honorable
and least difficult solution of the difficulty.
The great powers applauded the decision,
Spain. with twenty million dollars to salve
her wounded pride, consented and the Fill
pinos were assured of better government
than they had ever known before And yet
Mr.. German wanted to throw everything
into confusion again by rejecting the treaty
What his general program was he never
announced. He may not have had one
His program in the present case Is quite
as little revealed. Denunciation of this
government means encouragement for the
hot heads at Bogota. and probably an
armed clash between Colombia and the
United States. Denunciation of the PAN
anna government is an encouragement to
Colombia to invade the fsthmus and begin
hostilities. De Mr. Germans calculations

money. but If Paul were modern bishop
