Times celebrating hand may wipe away
many of our present national characters
tics and remove much that the present
generation holds dear. but so long as the
greatest Of republics shall continue to exist
and until the last of the republics south Of
this Is no more. the influences set in opera
ton by the late James G.. Blaine will con-
tinue to further the advancement Of civil
lization and the broadening of American
ideas. Tomorrow there will meet In this
city an organization which owes its birth
to the patriotic and brainy craftsmanship
or him who will always be referred to as

American Congress which Mr.. Blaine

In It's way, be no less useful than it's great
progenitor. The banding together Of north

suit In pleasing and profitable communion,
and with the extension of the friendly in
terests so recently made identical will come
the creation of a republican unit against
which the combined forces of all other ma

At least once a year. and sometimes more
frequently. telegraph. telephone and electric
light companies are put to great trouble to
been blown down by high winds or broken
by heavy Accommodations of ice. The ex-
pense is enormous, and that these corpora
lions, usually so careful as to finances,
should fail to provide against an almost
certain repetition Of disaster IS one of those
things which the ordinarily thoughtful man
fails to comprehend The Inconvenience
10 the company must be clearly apparent
10 every one, but even that, great as It
Is, will not bear comparison with the in
convenience caused the public. How much
of embarrassment and Of actual financial
loss was caused by the storms of last week
no one Will ever know. And il cannot be
argued that there is no remedy. In years
gone by when many newspapers, The Star
among them. insisted that all wires should
be placed under ground. the companies de-
clared most emphatically that such a propo-
sitiOn was in every respect irnpracticable
and this was followed by legislation. AMI
consequent upon legislation came the burial
OF the wires. No one ever hears OF any
trouble with lines than run through under
ground conduits. not even from the peopl,
on whose shoulders fell the cost Of the con-
duit construction. Electricians are unani-
nous IN declaring that the underground
work then the ones strung high in the air.

The present period OF business depres-
sion-now, apparently. almost at an end
has been remarkable for the number of
prophets OF evil whose vocal force has con-
cealed mental shallowness and whose ut
terances have done much more to disturb
than all the natural causes combined OF
these discomposIng Jeremiahs the latest.
the most unreasonable and the least accu-
rate IS. strangely enough, the possessor OF
a license to preach the Gospel. The Pen
meyers, the Lleweilyns, the Altgelds, and
the GOogans fail to surprise-they have
done their worst-but when the Rev.
Robert Mcintyre. pastor OF Trinity Metho-
dist Episcopal Church Of Denver. Colo

hate the people Of the west he gives ut
terance to a statement which Is at once
shocking and untrue. Evidently a believer

financial methods. Recently he made a trip
through the east. and at the first opportu-
nifty after his return to Denver took oeca-
sion to denounce the east and all that In

yer Is impossible; ruin. desolation and riots
are to make the coming winter memorable
IN history The Rev. Robert Mcintyre is
doing his church great injustice by his Ut
terances. 1t would seem to be his plain
duty to preach the gospel of peace. but his
preference is for notoriety. and of that he
will probably have his fill. Were there airy
reason why the people Of this section
should hate those who live beyond the Mis-
sissippi, then. perhaps. there might be
excuse for the unkind and disturbing re-
marks which DIR. Mcintyre has seen fit to
make from his pulpit. but there Is to-
tai absence Of anything like cause. neither
the doctor nS any of his supporters can
excuse the use of language such as his.
When irresponsible men, men who have
axes to grind and men who profit by social
and political uprisings, promulgate the doc
trines Of civil strife, sensible people see
their motives and laugh at their efforts,
but when a minister of the Christian
Church, prominent in his denomination,
and of undoubted ability as an orator, per-
mits the use OF his great powers In the
spreading of falsehood and the stirring up
OF sectional discomfort, then people may
well ask each other will there ever be an
east and a west, as there unfortunately
have been north and south?"

The Improvement in the financial tone
apparent for the past two weexs-contnaes
slowly but satisfactorily. and with the final
passage OF the bill repeating the silver pur-
chase act of 1880 business will doubtless re-
sumo much of its old time activity. Several
factories Of minor importance have resumed
operations with the beginning of this week.
especially in New England, and others of
much larger proportions are getting ready
to follow the example so soon as the pres
ent distrust has been entirely dissipated.
Every symptom points to an easier money
market. Many who have been boarding
their cash now see that this Is the best tire
to invest. and once that fact has been made
plain there will be an end of stringency.

Labor Day Is not as yet one Of the big
days in Washington, only two or three Of
the many associations OF organized labor
making public display of their strength and
good looks. In other cities, where organic

than it is here, the first Monday in Septem-
Der Is the demOnstrative occasion of the

and there Is nothing unreasonable IN the
declaration. Gradually but surely the wires
in this city are finding their proper level
and when the last one Is beneath the street
surface there will be an end Of interrupted
telephone communication and suddenly ex-
tinguished lights. All over that portion Of
the country which felt the force of the
recent gales there is demand for burial oe
the wires. and it does seem as though the
telegraph and telephone companies would
find it to their financial advantage to put
at least the lines which connect the more
important cities in conduits. Perhaps the
first expense Of such a change would be
great. but that there would be ultimate saw
ing can hardly be doubted by any one who
has an idea as to the damage which is
wrought upon poles and wires even by
minor storms. The telegraph plays too
great a part in the nations growth to be
needlessly crippled, IL only for a few days
In the year. That there should be the few
est possible number of exposed wires in
cities is conclusion that admits of no ar
gument. Hundreds of unsuspecting people
have died without moments warning
who might still have been alive but for the
carelessness of fcally-interested fellow
beings. Last Monday morning Melvin
Fisher. on his way home, stumbled over a
small telephone wire at the corner of 18th
and Master streets. Philadelphia. The tele-
phone wire had crossed an electric light
wire and when Fisher touched it he was
thrown to the ground by the shock and rem
dered unconscious; but for the fact that
his clothing was wet he would probably
have been killed. A little while later Angelo
de Marco approached the same corner,
stumbled over the same wire and. two days
later. was buried. For the safety of the
public and in the interests of business and
OF real economy every wire should be placed
under ground.

That Runaway Accident.

Yesterday mornings PRESS spoke of
runaway accident in which a team be-
longing to Mr.. Soule, the Green street
stabler, figured. The particulars of the
accident were these: Mr.. Soule let
double carriage and pair of buckskin
horses, Wednesday, to Mr.. W. F. Neal.
Mr.. Meals daughter, Mr.. Kidder of New
York, and his mother-friends Of Miss
Neal-and Mrs. J. E. French, went to
Spurwink with the team.
After dinner they started on the re-
turn to the city. As the carriage was
descending Meeting House hill at the
Cape, one of the horses suddenly started
on the run. Mr.. Kidder, who was driving,
tried to pull them in and partially sue
ceeded, but as the carriage reached the
bottom of the hill his grasp of the
reins relaxed a little as his strength
somewhat failed and the horses ran
again. There was hay cart in the way,
but Mr.. Kidder managed to steer the
horses safely around it when a front
wheel broke and the carriage over
turned. Mr.. Kidder had presence of
mind to turn the horses round as he fell
and they were stopped by people who
came up behind.
Mrs. Kidder escaped injury. Mr..
Kidder was considerably bruised. Mrs.
French was badly cut about the head,
and several stitches had to be taken.
Miss Neal feared that her leg was brok-
en- and SO did the doctors, but 1t was SO
swollen they could not tell for certainty
until the swelling was reduced when it
was ascertained that the muscles and
ligaments were badly strained. but the
bone was intact.
1t seems as if the team was not such a
one as should have been sent out for Or

expedition. Mrs. Peary will not be the
only woman of the expedition this time,
as she will be accompanied by her
maid.
The vessel has already been quite fully
described. She is the Newfoundland
steam sealing ship Falcon, which is COM
manded by Capt. Henry Bartlett and
manned by II men. The Falcon is a
three master, bark rugged, and is easily
distinguished by her big white smoke
stack with red diamond on it. Her
net displacement is 81 tons, and she is
about 25 or 30 years old. She came in
from sealing expedition in April, ard
since then $4,000 have been expended in
fitting her up for her perilous cruise in
the frozen Arctic seas.
Lieut.. Peary has chartered the vessel
to take him up to Bowdoin bay on the
coast of Greenland, and to come for him
there in the summer of 1895.
Captain Bartlett is fine specimen of
the sailor. He has been on the sea since
he was IA years of age, starting out then
in seal fishing. At the age of II he was
chief officer on the Panther. He acquired
varied experience by engaging in the
