The Hon. John Sharp Wiliams's speech at
White Sulphur Springs does not seem 10 have
contributed greatly to the gayety Of the Demo
cratic canvass. Democratic editors do not
know exactly what 10 think or say about 1t.
Judge Parker has indOrsed the Hon. Henry q.
Davis's reply as excellent" but has discreetly
refrained from committing himself TO the Eek
cellence" Of the Mississippi statesman's venture
into the field of serio-comic fustian. Too much
adulation has evidently warped the Hon. John
Sharp Williamss judgment 1t is difficult other
wise 10 account for his failure 10 meet a serious
political duty seriously. The Hon. Champ Clark
at Esopus was a model of lamblke moderation
and temperance; hut Mr. Williams at the White
Sulphur Springs ceremony scorned the thought
OF being either conventional or subsidiary. His
iiresome and labored bOmbast was doubtless
meant 10 furnish the keynote" which the Dem
Ocratie canvass so sadly lacked. Instead il
only disconnected the venerable nominee whom
IL was supposed to enlighten and got on the
nerves Of the party generally as a mistaken ef-
fort 10 mix serious politics with farce comedy.
Mr.. Willlams's pointless horseplay last Wednes-
day can hardly fail to injure his reputation as
a responsible political leader His desire to be
1ocose carried him, indeed into palpable extrav-
agences and inconsistencies. If his argument
on the tariff issue meant anything II meant
countries should be as free as trade between
the different States. Yet Mr.. Williams has
never had the courage TO avow such a belief in
serious and sober language. Last winter when
the Hon. Bourke Cochran made a strong free
trade speech in the House of Representatives
Mr.. Williams, as the Democratic leader of the
House, took pains to disavow his sympathy
with the Tammany orators programme. Nor
would he say TO what extent Mr. Cochran re-
aected the Democratic party's principles and
ideas
At the ST. Louis convention Mr. Williams
made draft Of the Democratic platform for
the subcommittee Of the committee on resolu-
lions. That draft contained these sentences:
B. We favor a wise, conservative and business
IKE revision and gradual reduction OF the
tarih' keeping in view, as men OF COM
.aOh sense should, existing conditions however
Nfongtuily mistakenly unjustly brought

ihe Deiief that protective barriers have no more
right TO be raised against the outside world than

MOTOR CARS AND RAILROADS.

The frequency OF automobile disasters at the
grade crossings or railroads strongly suggests
recklessness upon the part of the drivers of
those vehicles. In several recent cases such
recklessness has been quite obvious. 1t seems
TO be a part OF the too common spirit which
animates motormen Arising from the sense
of superior power, or from the intoxication of
speed, or from whatever other source II leads
them to disregard the rights and safety of all
other users Of the highways, to violate con-
temptuously the speed laws of the community,
and, as we now see, TO imperil their own lives
They become so accustomed to dashng at top
speed over the crossings of ordinary roads
leaving ii to other travellers to look out for
themselves, that they now treat railroads in
the same way. thinking 1t is for the trains TO
look out for them and keep out of their way.
In that, we venture humbly to suggest they
are mistaken Big and powerful as a motor car
is, a railroad locomotive is bigger and more
powerful, and in a collision between the two
the motor car is sure TO fare the worse. There

tivity at Port Arthur was exhibited too late IN
the campaign to be effective. but he mas tne
glory of having, with his four cruisers, gwen
Japan more uneasiness than all the rest OF tne
| Russian fleet was able TO give. His name VII.
live as one Of the brightest In the annals OF
this war.
General Kuropatkin is the fourth IL mas
been easy TO jeer at him for having so orten
and so far TO retreat, and to recall his nau-
boyant boast that he would drive the Japanese
into the sea and dictate terms OF peace AT
Toxic. Well, he did speak rashly; as other gooo
men have been known TO do. He knows Dettel
now. Moreover he has been retreatng, anu
may retreat some more. But it has been mas
tery retreat, before an overwhelming force.
Retreat lacks the glamour and the glory OF
victorious advance, yet it is often no less merl-
torous. Recall the classic retreat OF the zen
Thousand. They won far greater glory In their
retreat than their foes did in advancing upon
them. Kuropatkin has been for many weeks
confronted by armies outnumbering his by TWO
or three to one, and occupying, too' the nore
advantageous position To have been drawn
into q general battle would have been madness
He would have been smashed, and Russia's
power in the Far East would have been ami
hilated. 1t has been q great achievement 1or
him to hold his ground against frontal atlacks
and against fanking movements for so long
time and TO withdraw in such good order ana
with such little loss Of men ana munltlohs' he
may get smashed in the end. but he has mas
terfuly postponed the day OF wrath ana
gained opportunity for Russia to send, II ever
she can send, sufficient reinforcements TO make
an aggressive movement possible.
There are others. We shall hear Of them be-
fore the war is over. Indeed, we are already
hearing of some who are perhaps worthy to
be ranked even now with those we have named,
But these four and no more would be suffi-
cent to mark this conflict as rich in high spirit
and in real military genius.
