Lore of the Motorcycle.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-sfr. Won't some
one please put Police Commissioner Bingham wise
to the fact that the weight Of the rider on a motor
cycle counts as much as II does In the case OF a
Jockey on a race horses II is no wonder that a
big, heavy man Ike, Sergt. Casey. who rode the
smaller motorcycle In the recent trials on River
side Drive, was not able 10 tag the Commission
et's automobile. Casey evidently knows his bust
ness. but a Hight cop on the same machine will be
able TO 90 four or Eve miles an hour faster.
And while we are about II, let's urge the Com
missioner TO take notice OF the motorcyclitts who
go about town with the mufiers OF their machine
wide open. The law against unnecessary street
noises ought 10 apply 10 them. for there 10 no noise
that Is more unnecessary AId uncalied for than
this open mufner nuisance. On open mun1er IN
Of advantage only on steep hills. For a long time
the Federation OF American Motorcycles has
wAged a campaign against the nuisance, aud with
a little assistance on the part OF the authorities

Three ~Precedents.

In point OF fact the rapidity of Major
General LEONARD WOODS rise in the
service is not unprecedented in army
annals. There can be no time more
fitting than the present to correct so
false an impression.
The interval between 1850 and 1866
affords no less than three striking prece-
dents-preoedents, indeed, that leave a
margin OF conservatism and restraint to
the credit Of the Wood incident. ULYSSES
SIMPSON GRANT rose in three years
from the rank OF Colonel to the supreme
command, next to President LINCOLN, of
the entire Union army. PHILIP HENRY
SHERIDAN was a Captain in 1851 and a
Major General before 1855. Promotions
came 30 fast to WILLIAM TBoUMsEH
SHERMAN that q Major-General's rank
was his in less time than it took, some
forty years later, to make a brigade COM
mander Of LEONARD WOOD.
GRANT, SHERMAN and SHERIDAN, fur
thermore, were all without the advan.
tages OF a medical education.

responsible for the failure to arrange
some sort Of compromise between the
Roman Catholic Church and the civil
powers Severely shaken also is his hold
on the Republican Union, which sits ON
the left centre and which Is more smena-
bic than are the Moro Radical groups to
the pressure secretly e1erted by hnan-
ciers and business men. who are all
violently opposed to the pending bill
| providing for an income tax.
How formidable an influence may be
exerted in divers ways by the captains
Of finance and industry was shown some
years ago when an income tax bill was
put forward and when they contrived
TO array the Senate against the Chamber
and ultimately forced Premier BoUR-
dEoIs to resign. They did not on that
occasion and they may not now avow
the real motive for their resentment.
They may seize a preteIt upon which a
larger proportion Of the Deputies can be
rallied, but their hand will be disclosed
in the composition Of the succeeding
Cabinet, wherein the Finance Minister
win be relied upon to drop the income
tax. NJ. PoINoABE has made a bid for
their favor by q speech ,repudiating the
measure and demanding the dissolution
Of the Federation of Labor, but perhaps
a nor colorless man like ex-Premier
SARRrRN will be preferred.
So numerous, heterogeneous and essen
TALLY d~iscordant are the groups into
which the French Chamber Of Deputies
is split that for a Premier TO keep his
place a t~welvemonth is an acrobatio
feat and to hold 1t two years a sort Of
miracle. Under the circumstances the
upsetting of Ministries has become a
fine art, in which M. O~LBMENoEAU has
long proved himself an adept; but, like
GAMBKTTA, he must now have learned
that 1t lie far easier to be O king maker
than a king. Scarcely is a Cabinet
formed when the process Of disintegra-
ton sets In. Every one Of the groups
to whose temporary coalition the Minis
tiers owe their elevation demands a
share of the offices, and as there are not
enough of these to 90 around the Minis
terial majority soon orumbles from dis
content. That Is the inherent and
vice Of parliamentary gov
eminent in France, Italy and every
other country where most OF the legis-
lators are not distributed in two great
In view Of the situation which con-
him We need not be surprised if
any morning during the next few weeks

Able as he is, he is not more 30
than we're GAMBETTA and JULES FERRY,
and soon or late he will share their fate.
