Mcconnell to the Front.

Senator Mcconnell, of Idaho, seems
to have created a breeze at the late re-
publican caucus. He had been only
eight hours senator when he deliver
ed with most telling effect Il typical
Western Fourth of July republican ora
ton, nothing daunted by the fact that
he had never even seen some of his col
leagues before, and that his face was
unfamiliar to more than one of them.
This senator from the newe1 state of
all walked up and down the parlor,
flinging right and left his defiance on
Senators Frye, Wilson, Hoar, Evarts,
Edmunds, Sanders and others who
dared question his loyalty to the people
at large and the republican party in
particular. Mr.. Mcconnell said that
he, above all men, had the right to
speak at republican caucus because
he was present at the birth of the re-
publican party, and had been true
and constant member of it ever since.
He was not opposed to the election bill,
he said, but the people of his section OF
the country thought that measure much
less important than bill providing fol
the free coinage of silver. That bill
came directly to the hearts and homes
of the Western people, and as the re.
publican party of the future must look
| to the Western states to give its big
majorities, it must first give the people
of that part of the country the legisla'
ton they demanded, or the nlajorities
would not be forthcoming.

Mcconnell drew the short term. His
honOrs are of short duration, but with
characteristic energy he is making
proper use of his opportunity. He has
broken in upon the dignity and con-
servatism of the Senate with dash of
originality and spirit that has taken
the older members by surprise. Neon
nell is present, not in the silent MAORI
ty but in the active force; he represents
Idaho and western interests. 1t is
probable that Shoup will give Neon
nell full swing to push his interests,
withholding his own measures that the
latter may have showing; and SO far
he Is signally successful and is planning
vigorous compaign. He has already
introduced bill to erect public build
ings at Lewiston and Boise. He will
soon introduce bills for the location OF
circuit courts at Moscow. Boise and

appointing commission to treat the

Element. 1t is a good program and
will make record for Idaho's plucky
senator.

The new senators from the free and
untrammeled West play the duece
with the hoary traditions of the senate.
One of the unwritten laws il that no
new senator shall presume to make a
speech. The theory is that a senator
shall sit silent and observant at the
feet of his seniors for the first two
years. absorbing wisdom and gathering
confidence. This rule was merciles-ly
enforced against even SO great man as
Blaine, who was cruelty snubbed when
he tried to dead" the senate, as he had
been accustomed for years to lead the
house. Governor Shoup, Of Idaho,

throne yesterday in way that made
the senate stare. Before he had been

Discussion in the senate of Nicaragua
canal matters yesterday brought to
light secret treaty between the United
States and that republic, made in
Presid mt Arthur's administration,
but never ratified, which provided for
the construction of the canal within
ten years by the United States and its
joint control and ownership by the two
republics. This bold undertaking is
another evidence of the farseeing wis
dom which controlled the foreign pol
icy of President Arthur. The ratifica-
ton and contamination Of this treaty
would have done more than any con-
ceivable act to give the United States
the political and commercial position
in the Western hemisphere to which
it is entitled. 1t is not explained why
this treaty Is now heard of for the first
time, but it is n reasonable presump-

Free Coinage Will Pass.
From the Review.

From the keview.
The silver lobby is again in force at
Washington, and are urging the free
coinage bill with all the vigor they pos
sess. AS was the case last year, no
stronger lobby than that which the sill
yer men gathered appeared in WASH
ington during the season, and it looks
decidedly as if free coinage would go
through both branches of congress, and
perhaps pressure will be brought to bear
upon the president that will induce him
to sign the bill. The silver men control
many democrats by threatening to al
low the elections bill to again he called
up and passed by any kind of cloture
rule presented if they do not stand firm
and vote with them for free coinage,
consequently number of Eastern de-
lnocratic senators, among them German
and Gray, who have led the fight
against the elections bill, will probably
use their influence for free coinage in
order to save the passage of the elections
bill. Silver men, in virtue of the bad
leadership ON the part of the republic
cans in forcing the consideration of the
elections bill at this session, have
things in their power, or at least are
masters of the situation ut present. 1t
Is stated on good authority that
enough Eastern democrats can he de-
pended upon to vote against free coin
age to defeat the bill in the house. The
announcement that Speaker Reed
would interpose no parliamentary OBJ
stacies to the bill, or would not insist
that Western republicans whom he had
befriended should vote with him, and
the further fact that u presidential veto
is not certain, has scared number of
democratic Eastern congressman, and
they may vote against free coinage IN
sufficient numbers to defeat it. How
ever, it promises to be fight between
the South and West on the one side
and the North and East on the other.
1t may be possible that there will be
enough anti-free coinage men in the
house to defeat the bill. 1t is even said
that the democrats promise that they
will muster sufficient force to defeat
free coinage. If the elections bill will
not be taken up in the senate, the de-
mOcrats in the senate are assisted by
the silver men to defeat the elections
bill in the house. The democrats want
to use their strength against the silver
bill to defeat the elections bill. 1t is
becoming something of tangle, but it
Is evident that free coinage will now
pass both houses. The country will
have to depend on the president TO in
tcrvenc with his veto.

VICTORIOUS PIRATES.

Success is everything in baseball, no
matter how it comes, and patrons of our
national game have an unsuitable ap-
petite for victory as far as their respective
home teams are concerned Unfortu-
nately, however, Pittsburgers have, SO far
this season, scarcely had enough of that
diet to whet their appetites. Fortune, the
Goddess of Victory, or whatever it may be,
has been against our local baseball repre-
sentatives, and there has been consequent
depression of spirits among those whose
enthusiasm only finds vent when their
favoriteS are victorious.
But it is to be hoped for the sake of
everybody concerned that what is termed
the luck of the team has turned, and that
there are many victories in store for them
in the immediate future. Three straight
victories for our home team is such an I'M
usual occurrence that patrons of the team
are bound TO have their enthusiasm aroused.
We trust that victory will continue to be
on the side of PittSburg, not only because
OF the local capital invested in the base
ball business, but also for the sake of
recreation. A successful baseball team
creates local enthusiasm, and the latter,
as a rule, makes life very entertaining for
lots of people, if only during the time of a
ball game on an afternoon.

The Time for Seabaths.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
What is the best time of the day for sea
bathing? SEASIDE.
WHEELING, August %.
1.-TWO or three hours after eating, and pre-
the best time of the day for bathing. The
first bath of the season should be very brief
one, and even afterwards it is never e1pe-
dent to remain very long in the water, or
any benefit may be lost. On fine day 20
minutes is ample time, while if the day be
cool, half that time is quite as much as should
be indulged in if the bathing is to be bene-
fetal. The Royal Humane Society of En-
gland made several recommendations of
great value, and which should not be trans
gressed by bathers, namely: "Avoid bathing
when exhausted from any cause. Avoid
bathing when the body is cooling after per-
spiration. Avoid bathing if, after having
been q short time in the water, there is
sense of chilliness, with numbness of the
hands and feet. Avoid chilling the body by
sitting or standing undressed on the shore
or In boats after having been in the water.
Leave the water Immediately there is the
slightest sign of chilliness." Bathing in the
open sea should, if possible, take place when
it is high tide, or within short time before
or after, as at other times there are apt to be
dangers difficult to anyone unacquainted
with the coast to avoid or surmount. Many
lives have been lost by unknown currents
carrying bather out of his depths. even in
cases where the bather has been a good
swimmer.1

e.. Some Loan Societies Are Safe.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

Allow me few lines in answer to your
editorial on national building and loan as
sociations in your paper of last Thursday.
While it treats in q very able manner their
general usefulness, and also recognizes
''some good points, it conveys to the
reader the impression that no national asso-
citation is under any Legislative or other
safeguard. This is an error. While the sys-
tenn is only five years old, and comparatively
little understood, legislative enactments,
except in a probationary way, have not
been introduced or adopted in many States
yet. only wish to point out that the State of
Minnesota is an exception, and under Its
law such swindle as was unearthed
in Chicago would be an utter impossi-
bility. The main features are Q) the
public bank examiner examines them
whenever he chooses, and must do 80 once a
on first mortgage and not to exceed so per
cent of the total value OF the property, and
this mortgage Is deposited with the State
Treasurer. These mortgages cannot be
withdrawn except on the order of the
Register of Deeds, that the same has been
satisfied, or for the purpose of foreclosure.
(3) All officers of the association are under
bonds approved by the State officers. The
law has also done away with lapses and for
FIXTURES. leaving the capital intact in case Of
withdra wal. Under this law Il of the largest
associations in the country are doing large
and, might say, stupendOus business, max
ing about 10 per cent for their investors an
nually. In the absence of legislative pro-
lection it would perhaps be wise for pros
pectiye investors to have nothing to do
with associations located in States which do
not exercise needed supervision or offer any
protection to investors. In Justice to the
Minnesota association, I offer this: They
are doing millions of dollars worth of bust
ness in this State, but some unreflecting
people might be unnecessarily frightened
by comments like the one in subJec unless
some discrimination is made. IS.

ENGLAND FOR SELF AND PEACE.

The visit of the French fleet to Ports
mouth has been a success in whatever
light it may be viewed If Lord Salisbury
intended to offset the impression created
by the extensive hospitalities offered to the
German Emperor-and the consequent de-
duction that England had an understand
ing at least with the Dreibund-he seems
to have succeeded The tone of the Rus
sian as well as the Partisan press indi-
Gates that it is no longer feared in
Russia or France that England has Joined
the alliance of powers over which EN-
peror William presides. Even in Ger
many the propriety of these courteSies to
France is admitted. On all hands it is
agreed that that very shaky article, the
peace of Europe, has been materially
strengthened by the mild Irritation of
John Bull with La Belle France
1t could hardly be interpreted other
wise. The policy of Great Britain under
most ministries-Beaconsfiel is the only
notable exception in modern times-has
been to avoid entangling alliances with
the continental powers of Europe 1t is
not possible, with her interests in the
Mediterranean as highway to her
colonies, for England to isolate herself as
the United States can and does. England
is bound to have always deep concern in
the balance of power on the continent.
But while the tendencies of England at
this time legitimately bring her more into
sympathy with Germany, Austria and
Italy, than with her historic foes,
France and Russia, it is rather
from expediency than affection
The consecutive entertainment Of
the representatives of Germany and France
indicates that England. in the event of
renewal of the struggle Of 1901, will
keep her hands off as carefully and calmly
as she did on the previous occasion. There
is not heap of comfort for Emperor Will
liam or the wild-eyed Chauvinists of Paris
in this announcement, but for the world
at large and the common people who pay
for ali wars ultimately, it is good news as
a guarantee of peace

Of course the destruction of the build.
ing in New York, by which scores of lives
We're sacrificed in hideous fashion, will be

of She disaster which is not now clear
may be certainly discovered, and it will be
time enough then to apportion the blame,
If anyone is blameworthy. But it will
occur to those who have any acquaintance
with the scene of Saturdays disaster, that
the city authorities have been re-
miss in not condemning many of
the elderly and infirm buildings which
linger in the shadow of the palatial and
monstrouS structures belonging to the new
era in New York. 1t is notorious that
many ef the old rookerieS which serve for
offices and light manufacturing shops
within block or two of City Hall are un-
safe, and have been so for years. The
building on Park Place which collapsed
may have been one of these tottering old
timers. The Suddenness and completeness
of the ruin supports this view.
New York City has not monopoly of
structures that are death-traps in them
selves and a menace TO their surroundings
This deplOrable catastrophe may serve to
remind the building inspectors of this city
of the responsibility that rests upon them.
Too much care cannct be taken i'll enforc-
ing safe plans and good work in new
buildings; and it is an important part of
the building inspectors duty to see that no
structure outlives its security.
