Word for Motor Car. Every improvement in locomotion has caused both discomfort and dan ger. It is probable that the users of sledges viewed with indignation the advent of wheeled vehicles. Old prints show that the fast eoachea scattered flocks and herds and left postchaises in the ditches, behind them. The railway was regarded for some time as an outrageous nuisance. It will be within the recollection of us all, says the Fortnightly Review, that for years bicyclists were detest ed, denounced and persecuted, and that every horse shied at every bi cycle. In all these cases the public has had to grow accustomed to new conditions of traffic. So it is and will be with the automobile. To-day, in the minds of the unthinking, it is an offensive innovation; in a few years it will be regarded as an in valuable and indispensable condition of social and industrial life. The pe destrian will have to learn to look be fore he crosses the. road, and that his proper place, as a rule, is not the middle of the road but the sidewalk. And it is permissible to hope that greater devotion to public welfare will In the future provide the children of the poor with other playgrounds than the public highways. Not long hence it will seem a condition of barbarism that horses should have been misused is they are in the omnibus and the night cab of to-day, and that they should have been allowed to deposit thousands of tons of offensive manure in the streets of the metropolis every :lay, causing an unending supply of septic dust, to be breathed by millions of people. Meanwhile, a certain amount of public discomfort and dan ger is unavoidable; it is one of the conditions of progress. To attempt to hinder this progress because of this temporary discomfort and danger would be —to quote a proverb of the people to whom we look with so much admiration just, now, the Japanese— to "mend the horn and kill the ox." Craze for the Rostrum. The cable from St. Petersburg, re ferring to the douma, speaks of"the all-prevailing craze for the rostrum." It is no bad sign for members to wan-', to speak. Many of them have some thing to say. and a tempting oppor tunity—the first of its kind in their lives —-seems to present itself. Let us try to sympathize with men so placed, says the Washington Star. At the end of nearly a century and a quarter of popular government we have a John Wesley Gaines in our douma. In time this spirit will pass. Wait until the Russians learn the trick of inatten tion; of reading newspapers, or writ ing letters, or retiring for luncheon, while the talkfest is in progress, and the* rush for the rostrum will not be so great. Orators cool oft when inter est flags. Not one in a thousand is so fond of the sound of his own voice as to take pleasure in addressing empty chairs. At the meeting of the Wisconsin Society of Sons of the American Rev olution in Milwaukee a few days ago Neal Brown, of Wausati, was one of the speakers. In the course of his humorous remarks he rather ruffled the feathers of some of his hearers by declaring that the Ma.vliower must liave been leaded down with furni ture; that nearly every household in the country <*>ntained a Telic in the shape of a cliair or a table that came to the country in ihat old historical ship, while nearly every American citizen iraced his ancestry back to the passengers or crew or to men who who fought in the revolutionary army. "San Francisco reports," says a con temijorary, •"? hat a niiniii r of persons who suffered from vjirious ailments previously to the earthquake and fire in ihat oily finj themselves complete ly cured. One paralytic, who for 15 years had been crippled i>>* his dis ease, is now 'entirely cured,' and nu merous other recoveries have been re corded." Nor should it t>e fci < otter> that among .'he ailments r.i ed by th:- earthquake is celibacy. There is evl- | dent eof many well authr.ntJc.'teJ in- j rtancesj ol' San Franciscan 3 sarth- ! quaked into m norary degree of L. K. D. upon Chancellor 1). W. C.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says; A moderate reduction in cejmmer cial activity is to be expected at this time of the year, but confidence in the future is sej strong that there is evi dent reluctance to assume seasonably quiet conditions.
