wHrTE PACHA WITH EMIN.

specting the number of men accompanying the

abandoned that route because he was convinced
that when the column reached the circle OF
danger drawn around Emin, his men, fatigued
with marching enfeebled with disease and
overcome with fear, would abandon him in a
bodv. The road back to Zanzibar would be
open to them, and as soon as panic seized
them they would take it. On the other hand

rumors from the Congo and from khartoum'

of his supporters would rally about him in tho

push on to his destination. There is no EVIL

him and found their way back to camp at
the mouth of the Aruwim. Those who brought
the bad news were probably few stragglers
whose courage gave out in the earlier stages
of the expedition.

YOUNG CRIMINALS.

An unusual number of crimes have recently
been committed by persons so young that they
may properly be called children, and nearly all
of these crimes have been of the most heinous
character. A boy of fourteen caused million
dollar fire. A boy of ten deliberately COM
mitted suicide to escape punishment for tr,l-
ancy A girl of fifteen administered poison
to her father, mother, brothers and sisters
A boy of twelve tried to wreck train. OF
course it would be improper to generalize
from these and similar cases, and absurd to
infer from them the existence of any prev
alent tendency but it is certainly worth while
to inquire whether cases Of the kind are pre-
ventable or whether they are due to some
Unborn bias too stubborn to be removed by
education. Those who hold that human action
is governed by inherited tendencies can hardly
expect to eradicate sinister propensties, and
should, to be logical, content themselves with
the existing state Of things, whatever il may
be. A more practical and better working
philosophy, however, is that which holds that
in the majority OF instances parental teaching
and training are effective in subduing
latent evil inclinations in children, and that
the Withholding of this parental discipline is
the most fruitful source of mischief
Take Che case Of the ten-year-old boy who
poisoned himself. Is ii probable that a child
of that age would commit suicide if he had
any ideas about the value and the purpose of

UNNECESSARY RISKS.

At this season of the year thousands of people
in this city about to start on long journeys.
The exodus is very great, and it seems pertinent
to call attention to some of the unnecessary risks
to human life. These risks are common to the
entire travelling public and it is naturally sub
ject fraught with great interest TO all. The
unnecessary risks referred to are those to which
an innocent travelling public subjected through
the carclessness and inattention Of railroad and
steamboat officials. Here are few exam
pies Not long ago steamer sailed from Ho-
bolsen freighted with hundreds of human lives
The crowd Of spectators at the wharf were dis
mayed to behold upon the captains bridge three
ladies. who remained there as the great ship left
her moorngs No possible excuse can be offered
in extenuaton If there is one thing well understood
in ocean and river navigation it is the absence
Of passengers from pilot house and q steamers
bridge. Passengers have right to demand this
protection the law compels II. and an officer
derelict in his duty at such time is unworthy
Of the great trust imposed upon him. These risks
not only are taken at sea, but they
are taken actually in our very city. 1t
was but short time ago that n
SixtI-ave. elevated train came downtown in
charge Of an engineer who read the morning paper
while running his locomotive. The paper was
folded upon the seat before him, and upon leav-
ing o station he would turn to his paper, glancng
up in time to apply the brakes before approaching
the next station.
These risks to life are not alone to be noticed on
steamers and upon trains; they have been found
in the passenger elevator to an alarming extent of
late. Few people hear of the shocking accidents
which caused by the falling of elevators in the
hotels places OF business. factories and public build
ings. In one hospital alone in this city within the
short period Of one month there recorded nine
or ten serious accidents from this cause. The
falling of the elevators has resulted in many
in death in other cases IN fractured skulls and
spines and fractured feet and conclusion of the
brain. Law should direct a most severe punish
ment against builders of elevators for the defects
which make these accidents possible. The inno-
cent pubic is lulled into the belief that the ee-
vator is safe, because notice in it states that 1t
is regularly inspected. No punishment is too
severe to be inflicted upon contractors who con-
struct these death traps for the public. With
greater vigilance the part of steamship and rail-
road officials and elevator builders the present
risks to human life can be very much lessened.

DJsTsSTEFUL 10 ENGLAND.

II is worth noting that the British journals
have precisely the same unfavorable opinion
Of the Republican platform which is expressed
in this country by Democrats or assistant Dem
ocrats. To the British and the Mugwump mind
the resolutions betoken mental imbecility or
amazing ignorance; they are the work of
economic idiots. 1t is exceedingly gratifying
to the great party which finds its convictions
and aims stated with clearness and force IN
this platform, that the British mind does not
approve that document. One of the surest
proofs that the Democratic platform does not
meet the needs of American industries is found
in the chorus of satisfaction with which II Is
greeted in England tThose who are most
anxious to break down industries of this coun-
try regard the Democratic utterance with pas
sionate appreciation. So it is evidence that
the Republican party proposes Just what Amer
lean labor needs, when British foes of American
industry sputter out their wrath or their con-
tempt for the economic barbarism of the Re-
publican platform.
The Democrat and Mugwump ape British
opinions, as the little dude apes British man
ners. Nothing would more distress their in
most souls than to be suspected of genuine

sixty millions of Americans ought to be aware

who think. One has only to observe the rapid
adoption of essentially American policies, not
only by one Continental nation after another,
but even by every British colony, to realize
that the example and the success of this Nation

amazing folly for Americans, after such con-
trasting experience, to pick up the theories
which all the rest of the world is discarding
and to abandon the policy which has made
this Nation the envy Of all others.
But it is this amazing folly which, under
the leadership of President Cleveland, the
Democratic party proposes as its distinctive
policy. 1t is the Republican protest against
this unspeakably foolish proposal which British,
Democratic and NIugwump journals agree in

We know what happens when an attempt

THE DELAY AND THE CONSPIHACf
THAT CAUSES 1T.

The talk about conspiracy at chicago IS
not quite the silly gable most sensible people
have thought it, But the only conspiracy
there is the one which still prolongs It's
efforts to keep the delegates from making the
nomination they really desire. In this con-
sniracy most of them have been and still arc
actively engaged.
The friends of Mr.. Blaine have honestly
recognized what they know to be his honest
and imperative wish to escape the nomination
TO which the voice of his party would nave
unanimously summoned him. Throughout
this broiling week they have held the Con-
yention in Chicago, striving, in loyal Difference
to his wish. to concentrate upon some other
man.
We hoped they might be willing to unite
unon Mr.. Depew, and could have pledged
to that inspiring candidacy three OF the doup'.
ful States, with the consequent certainty oi
victory. But the West wouldn't have him.
Then the friends of Mr.. Depew waived per-
sonal preferences, local claims and state prlde,
and sought concentration on HARRISON. buO
the friends of other Western candidates
wouldn't have that, neither can they agree
among themselves upon anybody else.
So here we are, beginning second brolllng
week. in the same effort to keep the Conven-
ton from naming its first choice. That IS
the "great Blaine conspiracy at Chicago" and
that is all there is of it.
The trouble is that the first choice OF every
candidate, after himself, is Blaine. Each wants
to hold on as long as possible, in the hope OF
firing the others out, and getting the prize
himself, but not man of them is willing to
be beaten by any other candidate in preference
To Blaine. Hence. not a man of them will
consent to let his friends join in an effective
concentration upon somebody else. After all,
that is human nature. If John Sherman must
be beaten, why shouldn't he prefer being
beaten by the old leader of the party, rather
than by Alger? If Harrison must be beaten,
why shouldn't he take it more kindly to have
Blaine beat him, rather than Gresham?
Depew has set the example of waving even
this natural DESIRE But what State can match
DepeW?

FILL GROWN SUMNER WEATRER.

The dry and ardent June weather with which
this part of the country has been favored this year
Is in marked contrast with that of last May.
Rarely, indeed are two months adjacent in the
calendar so unlike as these have been; and equally
infreouent is the occurrence of such change pre-
cisely at the time Which, according to the popular
reckoning, one season ends and another begins
Spring was late and closed with several weeks of
excessive rain and abnormal cold Summer has
opened early with more than the appropriate
warmth and something like drouth. The temper
atures thus far this month"; at least in the Eastern
States, have attained an average close to that Of
August; though, fortunately for the health and
comfort of frail and susceptible humanity, the
moist muggy atmosphere of that midsummer period
has been noticeably lacking, except on five out
of the twenty-three days. The June air, nor
mally, is drier and more bracing than that Of
August; but this year the juno humidity in the
Middle Atlantic States has been below the average
1t is not SAFE however, to count ON Il long con-
tinuance of this benign aspect Of things. Reason
ing from general principles, rather than from any
immediate scientific Indications il is probable that
the next two months will not witness any very
great further ascent in the temperature scale for
the midsummer average has been practically
reached already but, following the law OF compen-
satlon the relative humidity may yet increase
materially above the level of the last three weeks
without exceeding reasonable expectation; and
from last summers memorable mseries, we know
what that means For this possible ordeal the pre-
cautions Of simple diet, moderate eating, absten-
ton from heating beverages the use of light well
ventilated clothing, and the avoidance OF arduous
labor in the sunshine cannot be adopted any too

The action of the Convention yesterday only
answered the expectations based upon It's ae-
Iberate adjournment on Friday evening" In
the two ballots taken, Senator Harrison was
advanced to the second place, but at no tlnie
reached the vote cast for Senator Sherman
and his support fell off from 217 on the fourth
70 213 votes on the fifth ballot. Nor did Senator
sherman gain: part of his supporters, APP
parently went to Governor Alger, and MS
vote fell to 224. The supporters OF Judge
Gresham also began TO scatter, and from 10
votes at the highest on Friday he fell to 81
on the last ballot. Meanwhile, Governor
Alcer gained 20 votes, reaching 142; the
vote for Mr.. Blaine increased to 48, and the
vote for Mr.. Mckinley, notwithstanding ne
withdrew his own name, to Ia. Thus the
balloting only sh, wed that no successful con-
centration in favor of either of the prominent
candidates had been found practicable. When
the afternoon session began, motion to ad-
iourn until Monday was at once made by
Kansas and supported solidly by California
and by nearly all the Ohio delegates. 1t pre-
vailed though New York and Indiana voted
against it. and thus the Convention takes
long recess for more careful survey OF the
situation.
