Jitney Regulation and Restriction.

By its action last evening with re-
gard to the jitney bus proposition
the Board of Trade puts the case
upon what would seem to be the
most reasonable ground. These We
hicles are favored as supplement
tary means of local transportation
on condition of their proper regula-
ton for the safety of passengers and
pedestrians and of their being main
tanned on routes not already covered
by street car lines. The jitney is no.
naturally a rival to the street rail-
ways, but should be an additional
means of carriage, covering sections
of territory which cannot be reached
by car tracks. OF course, these lines,
concentrating in the center of the
city, will necessarily to some extent
traverse streets on which tracks are
laid. In any case, as the Board of
Trade proposes, the jitneys should
be held under regulation designed for
the protection Of the public. 1t is es-
pecially important that the District,
in countenancing these vehicles,
should make certain that in case Of
accidents there will be full assurance
of ability to meet damages that may
be imposed by the courts.

Hawaiian matters are brought up in
the coming Congress.
There is no suggestion in any
quarter now of scuttle as to that ter
ritory. We have wrought a great
change since taking charge. and the
feeling everywhere. both there and
here. is that we are there to stay
Strategically and in every other way
the islands have acquired new i'm
portance since coming under our con-
troll.
And yet. at the start. there was a
noisy pother about keeping the hag
flying there. Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends wanted to lower it. and tried
to do so, upon the allegation that
it had no right there The oiroum-
stances Of the change from native to
American control were denounced,
and the Blount mission for re-
establishing the monarchy was the
sensation of the day.
The mission failed. It became
plain, even to the would-be scuttlers.
that the hands of the clock could
not be turned back with advantage
to anybody; that American control
meant not only better conditions
than the islands had ever known be-
fore our coming. but steady progress
while we remained. Hence the death
of the clamor for scuttle, and the
strengthening of sentiment for per-
manent American occupation.
Only one of this party Will push
on and take look at the Philip
pines. Senator Smoot, remembering
probably the early features OF the
Hawaiian episode, wants to inform
himself as well as he may on short
visit about the present aspect OF
Philippine affairs, and how 1t agrees
with the anti-imperial contention
that not only was it mistake tor
us to take over the islands. but that
the time is ripe for us to surrender
control to the natives.
Not a great deal, but something,
may be learned from such an inspec-
ton as the Utah senator will be able
to make in the time at his disposal;
and whatever he does learn will be
useful to him when the Philippine
question is, as it will be, presented
to the next Congress. What was
proposed last winter will be pro-,
posed again next winter, and the new
Congress asked to name time for
the withdrawal of American author
ity from the archipelago. The issue
will probably figure in next years
