THE COUNTRY HONORS ITSELF.

The demeanOr of the American people during
many weeks of increasing perplexity and dis
trcss has been remarkable. The country has
paid noble tribute to its own political and
social institutions. 1t has been said that
Americans take their pleasures sadly. Perhaps
they do: but if So the fact is more significant
that they take their mSfortunes bravely and
checrfully. The tremendous strain which has
been borne at centres OF population ana IN
dustry. and which all have shared in greater
or less degree has not produced panic or even
an alarming agitation anywhere wlthin I'VE
borders Of the United states. 1t has been the
occasion for some rancOrOus feeling which has
liberated itself in wild talk. but even this has
not been altogether Improbable. since 1t has
served the purpose of a safcty-valve as well as
an illuminator It may be said in general, and
if deserves to be said with emphasis and with
gratitude. that this gloomy and pcrilouS period
has supplied the world with IA useful example
of the resources of intelligence, sObriety and
magnanimity which a great Nation may ac-
cumulatc under a system of popular govern
ment and free institutions
1t seems TO lis that a sense of personal re-
sponsibility for public order pervades the coun
demonstration of genuine patriotism is one of
the crcditable and encouraging Tecompenses of
the crisis through which we are passing. Some
unwhOlesome appeals 10 prejudice and incte-
mentS to tumut have been uttered as when the
Mayor of Chicago predicted and thereby in
vitcd riots if work was not arttcally supplied
to the idle but on the whole the Self-reStrant
and essential morality OF the people have not
only withstood an immense pressure but have
been developed and confirmed BY the clrcum-
stances which made great a demand upon
them. Happily il now seems probable that the
representatives Of the people in Congress are
prepared 10 respond to the feeling of the coun
try Convictions and policies will conflict at
the Capitol. but the spirit III which the mo-
mentous debate has begun is not unworthy of
the issue which it is designed to settle.
1t is not inappropriate 10 say IN behalf OF a
profeSSon-Or trade if critics prefer that word
which i; often loosely accused of many de-
linqucncie5 that the newspapers of the country
have done much to inculcatc Il rational view
of the situation, 10 prevent distrust from deep
tning into despair and restore tranquility and
hope Tncy have rendered great and essen
tial service actuated. as we believe. by an UNI
selfish purpose to promote the common honor
and welfare.

LTFE-SITING UITHOUT RISK.

There have been many drowning accidents
on the atlantic bathing beaches this season.
but perhaps the most pathetic story is that of
Miss Thlrston. who lost her life in Hunting
ton. l.. l., while rcScuing her little sister. She
an expert swimmer and without fear when
in the water. She had taken her younger sis
tcrs to the beach for morning bath. One of
the little girls was swept out by the current
and was struggling in the water. Miss Thurs.
ton swan out to her with few strong strokes
and caught hold of the child's bathing snit
The child who was only ten years old, struc-
ged violently and Selling the rcscuer by the
neck SO as t, pinOn one of her arms chung to
her back and shoulders. Forced down by the
childs weight the rcscuer slowly sank and
was dead when help came from shore. The
child having kept her head above water was
saved.
The herOism of an act like this requires
nothing in the way of exposition The noble
girl. hearing her sisters cutlery and over
whelmod with the consciousness of responsi-
bility for her safety, did what she could and
gave her life in exchange for another. She
did not stop to reason about the matter. but
boldly struck out for the little one with an
instructive desire to catch hold of her and to
pull her nearer TO the shore. The rcscucr lost
her life not through any lack of courage or
self possession, but from neglect of precautions
essential to safety when drowning persons are
approached. Other lives have been sacrificed
under similar circumstances on beaches i'm the
vicinity of NewYork.
Good swimmers are not always aware of the
facility with which any one in the water can
be kept afoat with very slight support from
companion. 1t is very easy for one swimmer
TO carry another for long distance in deep or
rough water If the tender be embarrassed AZ
little as possible by the tow BY placing one
hand lightly upon the shoulder of good swim
mcr the dependent will float without difficulty
and almost without motion of arm or leg I'm
rcscuing any one who is out of his depth and
sinking. the swimmers first idea ought always
to be to seize the drowning man in such a way
as TO protect himself. The helpless one must
be brought under immediate control by strong
grasp and not allowed II have free use of his
arms. If he be conscious and not too far gone
with fright. he can be kept afloat with very
little support If he be unconscious or panic
stricken, he must be fought of rather than be

II bids fair to rival in importance and interest
all of the years great international conven-
tions. and will be attended by delegates from
nearly every civilized country OF the world
The headquarters of the Congress will be IN
tho ART Palace of the Woild's Fair, and ac-
cordjng to the programme, the sessions Will
cortinue throughout the week While it is
nossible that the convention may fail. as on
nrcvious occasions, to achieve any practical
results il is impossible to rep:ess feelings OF
sympathy for the aim toward which the organ
zers Of this Congress are devoting their efforts,
namely. the settlement of all international
conflicts, BY arbitration instead of by war, and
tho ;naucuration of an era of universal peace.

whatever his political faults and failincS NAV
be. is known 10 the whole country aS man
of great industry and Of entire devotion TO
what he conceivcs to be the official duties of
his station. 1t is possible to criticsc him for
surrendcring too much of his time and strength
to details Of business from which subordinatcs
might relieve him. but it would be grossly un-
lust to accuse him of Incidence or indifference
to his public obligations.
The preservation Of the Presidents health
is OF great importance 10 the country. and Nlr.
Cleveland has Obcyed a sense Of duty in re-
turning to Gray Gables lie has frankly con

not even the emergency which has required an
extra session of Congress could have justified
him in remaining at the Capital at the peril
of his health We sincerely hope that he will
rapidly regain his accustomed yigor. and we
heartily commend his wisdom as we recognize
his consciousness in taking the safest and
suleSt course to recovery.

Two of the karamanas passengers died from
cholera earl, Yesterday morning at the SWIM
burne Island Hospital, while nine others suffer
ing from symptoms of the malady were trans
ferrtd to that institution from Hoffman Island
for treatment and observation. This brings
up the Karamania's total cholera record in this
port 10 twenty one cases. and furnishes cause
for renewed commentator of our health Off

stricken immigrants from Naples would now
be disseminating the germs of the disease not

no interest. You are wrong, Mr.. Campbell,
