Charles f. Crfsp.

Charles F. Crisp. whose death at At
lanta yesterday the whole country sincerely
mourns. was justly entitled to the high
esteem In which he was held. He was one
of the conservative forces of the south.
and one Of her most useful public servants.
His range of view was national and his
impulses were all praiseworthy and pa
trtotic.
Judge Crisp entered congressional life at
the time the tariff issue divided the demo-
cratic party. On the one hand were those
who held with Mr.. Randall in favor of a
policy which would afford the business and
labor interests of the country incidental
protection in the raising Of revenue as
against foreign competition. and on the
other hand were those who held with Mr..
Carlisle. IN favor of lowering duties 10 a

whatever to protection Judge Crisp was

A Hint of the Possible Future.

One may plainly see in the quarrel be-
tween Thomas E. Watson and the demo-
cratic managers q fair sample Of what
upon broader and more aggressive lines
the country would have to endure In the
event of Mr.. Bryan's election. Down In
their hearts the populists retain all OF
their old-time distrust Of the democrats.
and the democrats all Of their old-tiIne
contempt for the populists. Neither would
trust the other out Of sight. Both talk
patriotism, and soar high on the theme or
the peoples good but both keep the sharp
est possible lookout for number one. Each
side accuses the other of selfishness, and
each furnishes to the other the most in
contestible proof of the accuracy Of the
charge. Both lay great offerings of elo-
quence on the altar of silver, but stop
there. Mr.. Watson insists on a more lib
eral share of electors, while the democratic
managers in effect tell him that he has
now more than his merits and importance
call for.
This is the situation In the green tree.
Need anybody question what 1t would be
In the dry? If such savage chickering's and
such playing at cross purposes mark the
era Of a bare hope Of success, how much
greater would the confusion and contention
necessarily become If success should ac-
tually be achieved? Who could ever deter
mine to the satisfaction of both sides the
exact share of the credit 1ue 10 each for
services performed? 1t is entirely evident
that neither side would foreso any claim
to material reward The fight now is over
electors. The fight then would be over
spoils, for with MIR. Bryan opposed to the
civil service law, and willing 20 aid in its
wha: Mr.. Watson somewhat crustily refers
to as 'the pie counter would be general
and would be universally and enthusiastic
cally accepted. So that, with the two
sides bitterly wrangling over personalities
and perquisites. there would be added to
the misfortune of destructive legislation
the turmoil of selfishness.
The longer 1t is examined the more
worthy Of defeat the silver coalition is
shown to be. 1t Is composed of elements
dangerous to the country and to them
selves 1t promises nothing Dut unwise
legislation and deplorable pers onal discord
Its three representatives nold the most
unique relations. Mr.. Sewall would Geplore
the success of Bryan and Watson. while
Mr.. Watson would rather see Mckinley
and Hobart win than Bryan and Sewall
Mr. Bryan hesitates, like an awkward CO.
quette. between his two yokenates. He
sees that Mr.. Sewall cannot be turned
adrift. but he is so much of populist that
his heart yearns for Mr.. Watson. Mr.
Watson's opportunities will now disclose
the choice. 1t is case of Old Robin Gray
The distresses of Mr.. Bryan's political
family compel him to accept the hand of
the suitor with money and lands" Mr.
Watson is nearer to his heart, but Mr. Wat
son cannot lift mortgages or support a
big establishment.

were not of q grade commensurate with
his deserts At last his hour struck, and
the man was there. He came to the front
as the result of hard and conscientious
work, patience and good temper, and he
held his place most creditably in many
contests which were sharp and exactfng.
Personally. Judge Crisp was very att
tractive man. Genial to the point of being
chummy: approachable and kindly at all
times and to everybody; lover of peace
and the promoter of honorable compromise,
yet firm and courageous when occasion
called for those qualities, he was a natural
leader of men, and a positive influence for
good fellowship and good citizenship.
The great pity of Judge Crisp's death Is
revealed in the fact that 1t occurs at time
when he was on the very eve Of receiving
q well-earned promotion. The legislature
Of Georgia, which assemblies in q few
weeks. would have elected him to succeed
General Gordon in the Senate, and thus
have enlarged the scope of his opportunity
and usefulness. That he would have met
the fullest expectations Of his friends and
the requirements Of that high place none
can question. Though not a conspicuously
brilliant man like Robert Toombs or Ben
Hill. nor famous as learned man like
Alexander Stevens. he was yet a man Of
excellent powers. not unworthy of honors
that Georgia has always reserved for her
most deserving sons.

vidual Is unhappily lost In the shuttle. else
1t should be written high in shining letters
on the roll of fame. Few city fathers
would care to confront such a duty. To
publicly proclaim the needs of the hour
was to invite attention to the ordinary
condition of Bari. But a royal bride de-
served a royal welcome. Hence this procla-
nation:
Citizens Of Bari: 1t Is your duty to clean
the streets of all unseemly mud. Used and
tattered washing linen must be taken away
from the windows. Little children must no
longer run naked in the streets Goats
cows, hens and drunken men must be kept
at proper distance. No dust bins may

Licensed coachmen are forbidden to wear
ragged ltveries. and are advised to borrow
cisused police uniforms. Let these things
be done. and our citizens will prove them
selves worthy Of their ancestors, and our
city will be duly garnished for greeting her
royal BRIDE" -,
What charming picture of Bari on an
ordinary. everyday occasion! What a
vision of goats, cows, hens and drunken
men, in clo:e communion with the rest Of
the population! What a touching thought
of cupid-like forms fitting among the ash
heaps and rolling In the mud! What a
pleasant view of picturesque coachmen clad
In the artistic rags Of Italy and Of front
windows adorned with fused and tattered
washing linen!' Away with modern effemi-
macy of taste before the artists ideal OF
city life as displayed at Bari!

The Surgeon General. Testimony.


The annual report OF Surgeon General
Tryon concerning the health of the Navy
adds its mite to the accommodating evidence
of the unwholesomeness Of the East
ern Branch. The following extract from
the report should serve next winter as a
strong argument In the campaign for an
appropriation for the improvement of this
alleged river:
The sanitary condition of the yard dur
ing the past year has not been satisfactory.
During the summer and autumn months
nalarial fever of severe type prevailed
extensively. large proportion of the cases
being of remittent character. During the
Year there were $50 admissions and 48 read
missions to the sick list. OF this number
216 returned to duty and 20 were trans
ferred to hospital. There was loss Of
1.U21 days from sickness, due principally to
the large number of cases of malarial fever.
Reports have been received that appren-
tices transferred from this yard to other
stations all suffered from attacks of ma
larial fever. undoubtedly due to climatic
exposure while undergoing instruction al
the yard.
The same conditions were noted as pre-
vailing at the Marine Barracks. located in
the Immediate vicinity Of the yard. while
1t woald appear that the Naval Hospital is
situated on sufficient elevation to greatly
lessen the effects of the masmatic influ-
ence. If so small colony as the Navy
Yard Is affected in such a marked manner
how much more serious is the result of the
present condition Of the Branch on the
whole population of Southeast Washington!
1t Is unfortunate that there is no provision
here for the filing Of regular reports Of
n orbidity as well mortality with the
Health Officer else a record might be kept
of the local tendencies to disease In the
various sections and the causes Of undue
percentages of sickness traced. Probably
such returns would amply verify the Sur
geon Generals conclusions. which, how
ever, need no confirmation and should serve
to bring the matter to 4 focus very shortly.

less there will be a continuation of this

the work 1t requires a large equipment

ing and feeding of the little waits. To

plan a gymnasium in the new building.
which will probably be one of the most
useful departments of the home, serving
to attract many little ores who might
otherwise shrink from the kindly care that
is intended for their welfare. In time
this establishment may be expanded into

tions Of the city. but into a model of its
kind. Washingtonians as rule are anxi-
