Prevent Collisions Next.
From the Buffalo Express.


The absence of fatalities when the
New York Chicago flyer of the Penn
sylvania railroad was ditched on Satur-
day at Middlepoint, Ohio, is claimed TO
indicate that the all-steel passenger
coach is an important factor in safe
guarding travellers Such informa ton
may add to the sense of security of
passengers on all-steel trains. But
wrecks. apparently. are to recur so long
as there is chance for human falllblity
in operation of trains.
In the Middepoint wreck. according to
the dispatches, though the steel Pull
man coaches left the rails and plunged
down an embankment none of them was
damaged though one was overturned
The injuries to passengers when they
were thrown from their berths. except in
one instance, were trivial. But though
the steel coaches may prevent loss of
life in case of derailment. ii is doubtful
whether they would be as effective in
case of collision. III ii is true that the
menace to life through derailment is
minimiZed by steel coaches. 1t is now
clearly the duty of railroads to safe
guard further the travelling public by the
installation of devices which automatic
ally stop trains which might otherwise
come together.

Queer Doings in New York.

This New York situation. growing out
OF the police graft disclosures. presents
some mighty peculiar aspects. Here. for
an instance. Is the police commissioner. in
the thick Of the affair. appearing before
the board Of estimate and asking for an
increase of the appropriation for the po-
lice force. mainly to be spent for salary
increases. amounting to s4.OOO,OO year
In explanation Of these recommendations.
which include the increase of his own pay
from 1850 TO $4,000 a year. the commits
sioner naively argues that these advances
will place the members of the force be-
yond the range of temptation to engage in
grating. Considering the richness OF
Lieut.. Becker's apparent pickings. en-
abling him to put away over $4,000 in
less than a year as savings from his
salary" il is hardly to be expected that
even the doubling OF the ordinary police
officials pay will cure him Of the habit
Of taking tips from those who are given
protection in the prosecution Of illegal
enterprises.
Then there is the impudent endeavor of
she police organization to wrest from

spoke well. and did believe in free trade.
But he did not pilot the ship upon the
headlands of free trade. although COM
mercial disaster became widespread
As a matter OF fact, the tariff bill
which Mr.. Wilson as chairman of ways
and means brought into the House in
1894 was stuffed with protection. 1t did
not accord at all with it's authors pro-
LESSONS and desires. but was simply the
best measure he could hope to pass in
the circumstances. He was handling a
condition. not a theory.
All that Mr. German did after the bill
reached the Senate was to add some pro-
some Of the duties to comply with obli-
cations the party had incurred in the
presidential campaign of 1892.
The bill failed. partly because of the
hodge-podge adjustments OF the protec-
ton it carried and partly because of the
loss of the income tax feature which the
Supreme Court knocked out Its reve-
nue-producng power was greatly reduced
by the courts decision.
But the political career of the Wilson
of that day is worthy the study of the
Wilson of this day. William l.. Wilson
was both scholar and gentleman. His
literary style was delightful. His speeches
made excellent reading. The one he de-
livered In advocacy of his own tariff bill
was the best made on that side. OF his
sincerity there was never the slightest
question. On the tariff he had always
been most outspoken. But when as
legislator he found himself the leader in
a move for tariff revision his theories
looked one way and his practical party
duty another. And party duty conquered.
The result was the loss of place and
prestige in politics. His remaining days
which to the universal regret were few,
for as a man he was much beloved
were spent at Virginia seat of learning.
to which he had been called as the head.
The teacher returned to his former duties,
and the political world wagged on in its
own way
Is William LIS fate to be Woodrow's?
Or will the present Wilson master his
difficulties, and make theory gee with
condition?

The Query.

The rose its splendid petal spread.
The clover filled the air
With perfume generously shed.
The corn so stout and fair
Came freshly to the annual task.
The fruit trees bore anew
And none of them delayed to ask.
What's Congress going to do"
The world keeps on its steady pace
Mid promise rich and fair.
The failures of one time or place
Are met by gains elsewhere.
Great Natures laws appoint way
So easy to pursue
And only humankind must say.
What's Congress going to do?"

The Presidency and Ineligibility.

Would single term of four or six
years for a President accomplish the OBJ
ject of it's advocates?
The present arrangement is criticised
on the charge that no sooner does a man
reach the presidency than he begins
maneuvering for second term. He not
only distributes patronage on that basis.
but uses his pull for legislation de-
signed to promote his program for a re-
nomination. Pin him down to one term.
and he will employ himself solely with
matters Of general interest Of personal
concern.
This assumes too much, and does not,
because it cannot, provide against human
nature. II takes no account Of the de-
sire of President to be succeeded in office
by a man of like views and purposes.
jackson manifested such a desire in the
case of Van Buren,, and Roosevelt in the
case of Taft. Neither Van Buren, nor
Taft would have reached the White
House except for the support Of the man
occupying it at the time of their con-
tests. Van Buren, was Jackson's choice,
and Taft ROosevelts, and both Jackson
and Roosevelt owed their influence as
President as the end of their days in
the White House approached in favor Of
a perpetuation of their policies. Patron
age and pull of every kind were used.
The patronage feature of the question
might be remedied by taking all patron
age away from the President: but that is
not proposed. The other feature is be-
yond reach. Human nature cannot be
legislated out of a man. With all patron
age gone. President would still possess
a considerable pull and be free to en-
ploy il in favor Of friend and lieutenant.
And he would employ it.
Nothing is palmer today than that the
present embarrassment of the republican
party grows out Of Mr.. Roosevelt's mis-
appraisement of Mr.. Taft He thought
he was choosing a dummy. and had in
mind running things" from Oyster Bay.
Had Mr.. Taft retained Mr. Garfield in the
Interior Department. and turned over the
whole question of conservation to MIR.
Pinchot. and taken counsel OF Mr.. Roose-
welt on all important subjects before
acting, there would have been no bull
moose movement.
But Mr.. Taft was no such man. Being
an individual in his own right, and
answerable to his party and the country,
he took his own course. and has pursued
it. Instead of three years more of Theo-
dore. as Theodore intended. We have had
three years of Taft in succession to seven
years of Theodore.
The unwritten law has worked well.
With the single exception Of Grants, no
second term in the matter of the presi-
dency has been other than a blessing to
the country; and il Lincoln and McKin.
ley had been spared to fill out the second
terms upon which they had entered this
land of ours would have escaped incalcu-
able woes.
