The New York Herald wishes to know
why the free ship bill has not been given
more attention by congress. If the Her
aid would take the trouble to calculate
how much free ships would cut into rail
road rates, it might strike upon some
thing that would suggest why the free
ship bill has so much opposition in con
gress.
The grand stands Of three base ball
parks have been burned this season. That
of the Boston club was burned a month
or two ago, that of the Chicago club on
last Sunday and that of the Philadelphia
club on the following day. In each in
stance the wilderness of dry lumber was
swept out in very short space of time,
and with some menace to lives as well as
to nearby property.
The New York constitutional conven-
ton has decided, by a vote of So to IS, not
to prohibit capital punishment. The vote
shows that there was quite a strong SEN
timent in favor of the prohibition but
the majority decided that the time had
not yet arrived when that penalty can be
abolished with safety to society. The
action OF the convention leaves it with the
legislature to say when, if ever, capital
punishment may be abolished.
Chile hasn't any warships for sale. She
owns a few real good ones, but may have
use for them herself at sometime not very
far distant China, through an En-
glish firm, has been trying to buy the
Esmeralda, the Cochrane, the Condell
and the Lynch-all tolerably familiar
names to American newspaper readers
since the Itata incident-but Chile de-
clines to entertain any proposition for
their sale.
Coxey told an audience at Buffalo, N
Y, night or two ago that the common
veal" idea was not dead or sleeping, but
was alive and vigorous. 1t is our pur-
pose said he, Ito have an army at
Washington permanently; we will keep
them there from one session of congress to
another Coxey probably thinks the
congressman need a perpetual object
lesson teaching that there are tramps and
loafers alive. But what is the good of
the lesson2 Congress cannot make man
energetic and a gentleman.
Ex-Gov. St, John Of Kansas is engaged
in the life insurance business in New
York. He makes speciality of writing
policies on the lives of those who drink
nothing but cold water. It might be
imagined that with that class of people
the risks would not be so great as with
promiscuous drinkers, and that the
famous prohibitionist would be able to
give his total abstainer patrons the bene.
fit of a reduced rate. But such is not the
case The insurance companies refuse tc
make any concessions to cold water in
their rates.
The people of the poorer classes in
Corea are reported to be on the verge of
starvation through the failure of crops,
and other untoward circumstances.
The Corean minister at Washington has
issued an appeal in behalf of his people
The Christian Herald Of New York
which led the movement to send supplies
to the starving Russian peasants, has
subscribed 600 barrels of -four to form the
part of ship load of food to be sent to the
Coreans. II is believed the generous peo-
pie of this country will speedily make up
the remainder of the cargo. The Score.
tary of State has been requested TO pro-
vide transportation. The Corean minis
ter says he is sure that neither the Japa-
nese nor Chinese navy would modest a
ship carrying food to the Coreans.
This is about the season Of the year for
the China sea TO be visited by the typhoon,
the terror of the Orientals who go down
10 the sea in ships In the China sea and
Indian ocean the winds blow in one direc-
ton during half Of the year, then change
about and blow in the other direction.
These winds are called the monsoon.
About the period of the change of the
monsoon great hurricanes occur, and
"blow great guns for days They are so
terrible sometimes that no shipping can
withstand them, and the country across
which they sweep is devastated The ty-
phoons occur during August, September
and October period Of time correspond
ing with the West India hurricane per
iod. II typhoon should catch the Chin
ese and Japanese fleets of Chemulpo,
Corea, there would not be much fighting
