NORWAY and the Kaiser.

Norway is not quite as large as the
United States and therefore il in no posi-
ton to tell the kaiser to mind his own
business when 1t comes to naming the
minister at Berlin. The kaiser doubtless
appreciates this fact for. according to re-
por from Christiania. he has just inter-

diplomats. II was planned to promote the
minister at Berlin to be minister at Lon
don. The kaiser. 1t Is cabled resented
the idea that London was rated higher at
Christiania than Berlin and expressed
a strong wish that the minister then sta

permitted to remain. This has been done
and arrangements that had been made in

The collision yesterday In this city be-
tween a street car and an ambulance car
rying a dying man to hospital directs
attention painfully to the often reckless
driving of the ambulances through the
city streets. While haste is. of course. a
prime consideration In a few cases. and
doubtless was yesterday. blind haste is
by no means desirable and Is often disas-
trous. A street car has right OF way in
the main, inasmuch as 1t must run upon
an established line and cannot swerve
from an obstacle. 1t can only be stopped.
Another vehicle can be both checked and
guided. and 1t Is incumbent upon the driv-
ers of vehicles at street car crossings to
be alert for possible trouble. In order to
reduce to q minimum the danger of COL
lisions between street cars and fire ap-
paratus certain crossings have been desig-
mated as compulsory stops. and the observ-
ance of this rule undoubtedly prevents ac-
cidents. But there can be no such regu-
iation covering the movements of ambu-
lances. which may take any route and may
therefore be encountered by motormen at
any crossing. 1t is plainly incumbent
upon the drivers to approach car tracks
carefully. particularly when the ambu-
lance carries a wounded man.
The wild speed of these vehicles down

peace had been materially advanced, as
far as the indications in Washington

Within half a year there is revolution

pacific basis. Maybe peace will come

often ineffective method. 1t is paradox

Central America in Turmoil.

The late happenings in Central America
emphasize afresh the necessity of some
manner Of consolidation there of the

the idea of a union of the five states Of
Costa Rica Honduras. Nicaragua Guate-

Preparing for Tariff Revision

According to Chairman Payne. the ways
and means committee Of the House has
already collected some information bear
ing on a revision of the tariff. and wants
to continue the work during the recess
OF Congress. Permission should by all
means be granted. We seem at last to be
in sight of something tangible on this
subject. and preparation should be COM
plete.
The Star however doubts whether
much will be done during the campaign.
As the tariff will be a leading issue in
the contest between the two parties. the
members of ways and means will be busy
on the stump. the republicans explaining
why revision has not taken place. and the
democrats explaining why it should have
taken place. This will leave little time
for such hearings az parties in interest
always demand and always secure.
But II time enough is found. and the
committee feels ready to report at the
next session. will anybody move for i'm
mediate action?
Mr.. Fairbanks in his letter to the re-
publican convention OF Indiana advocated
revision next winter. He thought there
would be time enough. and that the
sooner the work was over the better for
the country. There would be a gain Of
several months at least; and time in the
business world is money.
But objection to this was heard on both
sides. There were republicans who
thought that an adequate revision Of the
Dingley law could not be made at the
short session. and the democrats respond
ed with the statement that IL they carried
the November elections no revision of any
kind should be attempted. They contend
ed that democratic President and House
would mean an order for revision on DEM
ocratic lines, and that the work in that
case must be left for the new Congress.
At this session the democrats have been
urging revision. and chatting the repub-
licans over the latters delay, 1t would
be turning of the tables, therefore, If at
be all impotence to begin and the demo-
Gratis all argument for delay.
But revision of some kind is on the
cards. 1t cannot now be defeated. II the
republicans win in November the work
will be done at a special session of the
sixty-nrst Congress in obedience to the
recommendations of a President friendly
to protection. If the democrats win the
House will draft bill on the lines OF
a revenue tariff. and prepare to fight ii
out with the republican Senate. VIII II
