THE Talk OF THE DAY.

Going TO see a football game seemed To
be popular pastime with candidates on
Tuesday. Mr.. Barnard was at the Ford
ham-GeorgeiOwn game. while at least three
successful candidates. all graduates Of New
York University saw their alma mater de-
feat Wesleyan as happy omen Of their
own victory. They were Cyrus c. Miller

The popular superstition which makes
thirteen an unlucky number and seven a
lucky one is probably not effective as TO
mayOralty candidates. Mr. Gaynors bal
lot was No. 454. The sum Of their numerals
makes thirteen. a hard-luck number. Mr.

ANOTHER Gas TURBINE.

One Of the latest attempts TO combine
in one machine the qualities OF the ordi-
nary internal combustion motor and the
steam turbine is described by Mr.. Henry
Harrison Suplee in "Cassier's Maga-
zine" for November. In an engine de-
rlsed by d Frenchman named Karavo-
dine there is thin. small wheel on the
edge Of which are buckets. Into these
are forced jets Of vapor through four
nozzles' the vapor coming from adjacent
chambers in which an explosive mixture
OF gas and air is ignited The wheel
makes ten thousand revolutions min
ute-an extraordinary velocity, 10 be
sure, but one paralleled several years
ago by that OF the sO-called De Laval
turbine.
With consumption OF six and a half
quarts Of gasolene an hour, the engine
develops two horsepower. At present
IL Is not quite so economical IN it's use
OF fuel az some other gas engines, but

CENTRAL AMERICAN RELATIONS.

1t will be cause for profound regret
IL the report proves true that the gov
ernment of Honduras is aiding or en-
couraging in any way the revolutionists
p I'm Nicaragua. That is not because of
the intrinsic merits of the dispute in the
latter state but because it would be
a flagrant and Ominous violation Of the
treaty of peace and friendship which
was made among the Central American
states little more than two years ago.
That treaty provided, as we have al
ready recalled in our Washington dis
patches. as follows:
No government OF Central America
shall in case Of civil war intervene in
favor Of or against the government Of
the country where the struggle takes
place.
Nor is that all. The governments are
bound not only 10 passive but also TO
active neutrality; TO prevent any med
ding by anybody within their borders.
Thus:
Every person, no matter what his ma
uOnality, who. within the territory of
one Of the contracting parties, shall ini-
tiats or foster revolutionary movements
against any or the others, shall be i'm
mediately brought 10 the capital Of the
republic, where he shall be eubTr.tted 10
trial according TO law.
A breach Of these stipulatiOns by Hon
duras would be worse than one by any
other state for by the same treaty Hon
duras specifically declared its absolute
neutrality toward the other republics in
event Of any strife among them and, by
inference, in case OF civil strife If the
reported Intervention should prove TO
have occurred, IL would be interesting
10 see what course the aggrieved govern
ment would take. The old plan would
be. OF course, 10 go TO war with the
offender. But the same treaty which
we have quoted thus further provides:
The republics bind themselves always
10 decide every difference or difficulty
that may arise amongst them, of what
soever nature IL may be. by means Of the
Central American Court OF Justice.
We shall hope that Honduras will
keep hands off, in loyal fulflment of the
treaty OF 1907. But in case Of any vio-
lation Of that instrument we shall hope
10 see redress sought through the court
at Carriage and not IN war.

Mr.. MURPHY.

RACE TESTS FOR CITIZENSHIP.

The declaration Of the State Depart-
ment on the subject OF naturalization Of

have caused. though II repeats our sug-
gestion OF the complications and difrcul-
ties which beset the way OF any attempt

on technical chronological lines. instead
OF on personal qualities and conditions
Apparently the crux OF the matter. so
far as the courts Interpretation of the
naturalization statutes is concerned. IS
the phrase ''white persons" which oc-
ours in the old naturalization law Of
1902 and again IN the revised statute OF
1875. In 1902, no doubt, it was meant
chiefly. II not entirely. TO exclude ne.
groes- In 1875 IL was confesseily meant
10 exclude the Chinese, and perhaps also
the japanese. The question is, What "a
meant at the present, time by white
persons?
IL has recently been argued that no
Mongolians are white, and conversely
that all non-Mongolians and non -Ethio-
plans are entitled 70 be considered white
and thus 10 be received into Citizenship.
That theory is based on Cuvier's famous
classification o. mankind, which was
also adopted by yirchow, Flower and
others, in the three great races. eau

Caucasians, as defined by Cuvier and

Let them 60 right on falsifying. The

spiracy OF distortion and Justification
which this campaign has witnessed.
But the newspapers which were SUD

that threat in a speech last week The
New York Press" in its report Of his

was under such excitement that he did

was on the stump. That is a charitable
