which seems TO explain the disregard SO
often shown by masters of vessels OF. the
rules which have been devised for their own
safety as well as that of the public 1t Is
evident that there is a feeling-perhapS 1t
might be called professional pride-which is
strong enough to induce pilot to follow
course that will end in disaster rather than
to give way to rival Because the pilot of
one vessel infringes the rules that Is not
valid excuse for the pilot of another vessel

sailing vessel gets in the course of a steam

not good reason why the lives of the
people on the steamboat or in fact those on
the sail boat should be put in peril while
the respective pilots are taking the law in
their own hands and having il out with
each other. The sensible and in fact the only
course to persue is to avoid all danger, even
at the expense of time and pride, and then re-
port the violation of law TO the proper
authorities and have the offenders duly
punished.

ting with different elements Of his party,
under the cover Of an effort to secure har-
mony, he Is running great risk of suffer-

Is engaged in "harmonizing'' at time
when harmony can be secured only by con-
eession, he IN playing q very dangerous
game. at which he may not only lose his
personal stake. but the fortune Of his
party. In this connection the Times says:
There Is no room for compro-
mise or concession. Not Tor thir-
V odd years has there been
such q united and intense desire by the
people of the country for any measure as
there Is today for the repeal Of the Sher-
nan act, without conditions and without
delay. They know that the democrats in
the Senate can grant that desire. II 1t il
not granted. 1t is upon the democratic par
ty that their just anger and their stern re-
venge will fall II Mr.. German or any other
practical politician imagines that some
sort of a compromise can be patched up,

few months ago one of the New York
magazines had an article in II that went
for Chicago society. The writer Thereon
took the ground that there were few OF
the don'ts of social ethics that the leaders
of the 400 in the windy city refrain from
doing. The matter was taken up without
tonxs by the so-called leaders of Chicago
society and in numerous and lengthy news
paper interviews they expressed the opinion
that from the standpoint of unadulterated
culture they were in a position to give
ideas 10 the Gothamites- They could give
as well as take. They were willing TO en-
ter into reciprocal relations. but these must
be established upon the distinct under
standing of social equality between the
rival cities. Chicago had many admirers

In the opinion Of many IL rests with Mr.
German to determine the action Of the
Senate on the question OF the repeal of the
silver purchase act 1t rests with the Senate
Of the United States to stop the purchase Of
silver and to remove what the President
has declared and the financiers of the
country believe to be the chief cause of the
disastrous state of the business of the
country. So il is plain that according to
the view of a considerable portion of the
observers of public affairs a great respons-
ibility rests on Mr.. German. When two
such opponents of the party to which Mr.
German belongs as the New York Times
and the Baltimore Sun deem il important
to stop in the midst of the general discus
sion of the proposed repeal law to give
error of his way. Mr.. German must give
some heed to their words. BY reason of his
position as chairman of the steering COM
