The people of Lynchburg who depend
on gas for fuel, have experienced great
Inconvenience lately-especially on very
cold mornings-from the gas going of,
and the housewives have to be on the
lookout to save an explosion. Within
two weeks, two houses there have been
burned to the ground. The first with all
its contents, and the latter, which be-
longed to John DAILY, but one machine
and few chairs were taken. On last
Friday morning, while Mrs. Daley was
on an errand to neighbors, the gas
came on in such force as to set the house
on fire. A little boy, three years old,
who had been left in the house, managed
to get door open and give the alarm.
Soon all was in flames. The house to the
east of Mr.. Daley's in which Dan Haines
lives, was badly damaged, and Mike
Lynch's house across the street was
scorched. No insurance.

A Congress of Mothers.

Washington is the convention city Of the
United States. 1t Is SO because 1t ought to
be so; because 1t has within it the neces-
sary facilities in addition to an abundance
of those things which attract. Reunions
ard annual meetings and assembages of
all sorts have held enjoyable sessions at
the pational capital, but the proba bilities
are that of the most interesting of
these gatherings is that which is to come
in February next-a national congress of
mothers. The sons and the daughters have
come by thousands, while the brothers and
sisters Sojourning here have been as the
sands of the seaShore, but somehow or
other TIE mothers have never succeeded in
getting together to any considerable ex
tent This lack of maternal organization
will only be for little while; after the
February congress settles down to business
the mothers will be prepared to cooperate
either for their own protection or for any
other of the many purposes that will
doubtless occur to them. A circular which
has been issued by the promoters of this
altogether commendable plan says that it
is proposed to have the congress consider
all subjects which relate to the home, espe
clally those bearing upon the better and
broader moral and physical, as well as
mental, training of the young, such as the
value of kindergarten work and the ex-
tension Of its principles to more advanced
studies. love of humanity and of coun-
try, the physical and mental evils resulting
from some of the present methods Of our
schools, and the advantages to follow from
a closer relation between the influence OF
the home and that of institutions of learn
ing. Especial Importance will be given to
consideration of the means that may be
used to develop in children those char
acteristics which tend to elevate and en-
noble, to the end that the conditions which
now prompt crime and make necessary the
maintenance of jails, warehouses and re-
formatories may be completely and per-
manently overthrown. 1t is a big pro-
gram, but the good and thoughtful women
who are responsible for the proposition
have devoted themselves with all earnest
ness to their great task, and will undoubt-
eddy succeed in accomplishing much good

accompanying the Upper Nile.

The combined English and Egyptian
troops have captured Dongola and an i'm
pcrtaHt step has thereby been taken in the
recapture of the Upper Nile. The result of
the victory has been the renewal OF the cry
against English rapacity and expressions of
sympathy for the poor people who have
Ieen dispossessed by the strong hand of
British troops. Nearly all of this indigna-
ton and sympathy is wasted. The territory
recaptured is great many hundred miles
II side of the old lines of Egyptian possess
sion In which English influence was over
thrown when Gordon was killed at Khar-
tCum. The whole of the Upper Nile district
belongs naturally to Egypt and therefore to
the power which possesses Egypt. The
Gervishes or followers of the so-called Nah
di who have been defeated by the English
at Dongola were not the rightful possessors
of this territory but held it by the strong
Rand of might. and. from all reports, exer-
c4sed a tyrannical cruelty over the inhabit-
ants far in excess of anything that could
atilict them under Egyptian or English rule.
Lower Egypt. as a matter of self-preserva-
ton, must possess the upper waters of the

The English in Egypt have constantly had
the fear Of this before their eyes, and it has
been surprise to those well acquainted
with the subject that the Upper Nile expe-
ditlon has been delayed SO long There Is
of course. the possibility that the English
policy considers the capture of this region
as only step in the direction of English
domination of continuous possessions in
Africa from the mouth of the Nile to the
Cape of Good Hope. but without considering
the right or wrong of the English possess
sion Of Egypt, that nation, so long as it
does exercise rule over the land of the

trust IL 1t did not as speedily as possible
recapture the Dongola and Khartoum dis
tricts of the Upper Nile, which rightfully
ard naturally belong to Egypt.

Explaining His Vote.

There are probably few friends of Mr..
Bryan who will not regret the explanation
put out by Chairman Faulkner of the vote
which Mr.. Bryan cast for General Weaver
for President in 1892. 1t represents the
intrepid young leader as resorting then to
much the same devices which he condemns
now in others. According to Mr.. Faulkner,
whose authority is Mr.. German, the demo-
Gratis III certain western states. Nebraska
among the number, were instructed to vote
for the populist ticket instead of for their
own, IN order to make certain of republi-
can defeat; and many of them, it is as
sumed. followed instructions. But is it
safe to account for Mr.. Bryan's vote in
that way? Would he have voted for any
man for President with whose principles
he was not in agreement?
Mr.. Bryan expresses a very high respect
for the responsibilities imposed by suffrage
and for the courage which raises a man
above the domination of partisan politics.
He likewise ridicules third tickets put into
the field with no hope of success except
through dividing what would probably be
| the support of one of the leading tickets.
| He claims for himself the right to judge CT
both the candidate and the platform, and
! to reject both in case they do not come up

which would require him to register his

abettor Of resistance to 1t. Mr.. Bryan
must ckoos, between them. He cannot keep
the company Of both.
When in New York Mr.. Bryan quotes
from Mr.. Tilden. But who is the living
man in that state upon whom he leans for
support in this race? Is there any likeness
whatever between Mr.. Tilden and John c.
Sheehan? The one stood for stable and
clean government, the other stands Cor
Tammany Hall! Could a more radical diff
ference exist? Mr.. Tilden, as the peoples
representative, scourged Tammany Hall,
and drove 1t from power for its manifold
ofrenses.
In Boston, last night, Mr.. Bryan quoted
from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Mr.. Elmer
son was the sereEest of modern Dhiloso-
piers. who taught courage, honesty. and
sincerity in all dealings. Mr.. Bryans iv-
ing champion and associate in Massachu-
sets is George Fred Williams.
When Mr.. Bryan reaches Maine he will
probably quote from Mr.. Blaine. Some CT
the democratic campaign speakers have
been using garbled extracts from Mr.
Blaine's deliverances. But, in all his life,
Mr.. Blaine never stood for anything for
which Mr.. Bryan now stands. The vote
recently cast for the democratic ticket in
Maine was composed OF the survivors OF
the old greenback element, whom Mr..
Blaine fought with all his might. The
Plaisteds are Mr.. Bryan's living allies in
Maine. He is not really on thorough po-
litical terms with his own yokemate, Mr..
Sewall.
If Mr.. Bryan will look but briefly into
the record which gives the other side Of
the question at issue he will make this dis
covery: No statesman in any age of the
worlds history ever advocated cheaper
ing or debasement of the money of the
people who did not fail, or who. temporarily
succeeding, did not inflict a terrible injury
on his country. There is positively not a
single exception to be found
Mr.. Bryan himself may take this COM
fort: He is a very young man. and if de-
feated In November-as for the country s
and his own sake 1t is to be hoped that he
may be by an overwhelming majority-it
will still be time enough for him to pull
himself together, and, with his talents and
enthusiasm, serve his country in some
cause which will completely efface the
memory of his part In the present one.

Appropriations and Human Lives.

II the appropriations committees of the
House and Senate could only have been at
Brookland this morning they would, in all
probability, have come to the conclusion
that the District fire department ought to
be materially strengthened. Three human
lives were sacrificed today because there
was no fire-extinguishing apparatus at
hand to put out the flames. Had the con-
flagration been in ten houses instead of
ore, or had the number of lives imperiled
been thirty instead of three, the results
would probably have been just the same.
The situation in Brookland is duplicated
in other f1ourishing suburbs. and it is sub
ject for surprise that such casualties as
that which took place this morning do not
occur more frequently. 1t would not be
reasonable to insist that there shall be
fire-engine company in every suburban
subdivision. but one is likely to assail
the idea that there ought to be either
steam or chemical engine and sufficient
crew wherever there are as many houses
as are to be found in Brookland and Its
vicinity. The practical application of this
suggestion would call for a decided in
crease in the appropriations for the equip
n;ent and support of the fire department. but
who will say that such an increase could
not easily De JuSllltt- lHOSe VIII u"cii III
the thickly settled suburbs contribute their
share of taxes and are, in consequence
legally and morally entitled to all the
police and fire department protectiOn-not
to mention other valuable privileges-that
they have any necessity for.
The Star intimated the other day that
Chief Paris had always been little too
modest in his estimates: that he had asked
for what he thought ne could get rather
than for the things he really wanted to
have. The Chiefs estimates for the next
fiscal year are now in the hands of the
District Commissioners. II would be an
easy thing to so amend those recommen-
dations as to provide for the three or four
suburban engines and companies for which
the taxpayers and common humanity make
reasonable demand. The District Commits
siCners will doubtless find it necessary to
revise and reduce many of the official esti-
mates submitted to them in order that the
total sum asked for be not great enough
to alarm Congress. but it is difficult to see
how they could. having the public safety
in mind. do otherwise than insist that Con-
gIesS shall give to the national capital a
fire-fighting equipment sufficient to meet
the needs of this growing community.
