10 THESE places thousands nave re-
sorted of late to seek relief from the
sweltering, facilitating heat, and from
early to late the yellow sand has been
dotted with bathers. All kinds and con-
ditions of humanity have joined the great
procession that daily has moved to the
breathing places. At the l. street bathing
house in South Boston, always popular
resort because of it's easy access and the
peculiar Wilderness of the sand, there

attendance as proportional at other re-
Sorts and you may well believe that
fair proportion of our citizens took dip
in the briney on that humid day. The
cool caress of old ocean is the one thing
eagerly sought just now.
But the little ones who cannot get out
into the fields or onto the sands of ocean
are not forgotten. The old idea that
children who roll in the dirt are
healthy has been given practical test.
About 10 years ago a few women, at q
suggestion from DR.. Marie E. Zakrzew-
ska, determined that Boston babies
should have fun in digging in clean sand,
even though the veterans of philan-
thropy doubted its civic virtues. The
use of three mission chapel yards was
obtained, with the result that at the end
of the season it was said there had been
less sickness and more order among the
children living near these yards than for
many summer. The neXt.year 10 sand
heaps fiourished, some in the courts of
tenement houses, the tenants themselves
acting as overseers from their windows /
Then the sand was given, as it has been
ever since, by the generosity of a single

President. Judge Day Is not q soldier. He
Is q lawyer. and Is represented by those
who know him a. q man Of experience in
affairs and Of good judgment. The Cuban
question is much more than a military
question, and to its phases other than
military Judge Day will address himself.
As for the fact that Judge Day will not
make tour Of the island, what matters
that? 1t is not necessary that he should.
in order to come into possession Of much
important and reliable information bear
ing on the justice of the insurgent cause.
Men of prominence-some Of them writer's
for the press-have visited the island with
in the past year and been able to make a
careful appraisement of the situation with
out shaking hands with every person in
the island. They were enabled. however.
to see and to learn a good deal: and all
Of that. significantly enough. made them
champions of the insurgent cause.
General Lees case may also be cited.
His duties have kept him in Havana. But
he has learned enough to arouse his sym
pathies for the cause of freedom. When
ne failed to become champion of Spain.
Mr.. Olney wanted to recall him.
These facts would appear to prove that
Spain's case in Cuba is not benefited by a
close inspection of it. The unrighteous-
ness of her cause. and her brutal prosecu-
ton of it. are best revealed at close range.
The fact. therefore. that Judge Day while
in Cuba will be in sight all the time Of
General Weyler's coiors will count for
nothing against his obtaining abundance
of information which will be of value to
him and to the President. It is not neces-
sary that a man should camp with the
insurgents to be able to do them justice.

The Threat of the Powers.

Several weeks ago, when a collision be-
tween Greece and Turkey was daily expect
ed. The so-called Peace Powers issued a
warning. to the effect that the aggressor
would not be permitted to profit by any
advantage that might be gained by such a
move. 1t was generally understood that the
deliverance was aimed at Greece, whose in
sistence upon the right of her side of the
controversy was most vigorous. That
warning still stands. At any rate. it has
rever been formally rescinded.
The Powers, If called upon to execute
their threat will find that they have a very
delicate piece of business on hand. Greece
appears in the controversy as the champion
of Crete If people of her own tongue and
blood in Crete had not rebelled against the
Turk. Greece would not have made move
at all. She had no grievance of her own
that was acute against the Turk. His pres
ence in Europe was as Objectionable to her
TO other civilized Powers. but she would
Lot have set out single-handed to expel
him- But when his presence in that par
ticular part of Europe became so offensive
and so Objectionable tnat his Christian sub
jects appealed for aid to be free of him.
Greece responded. That is where Greece
stands.
Turk in the field. How could the Powers
reverse that result without becoming them
selves the oppressors of civilization? What
could they do to make good their threat
but avenge the Turk and bring Greece I'M
der? Would they be willing to enter upon
a task Ike that? Could they afford such a
thing; And what would they do with
Greece besides Furnishing her by force of
arms? Hand her over to the tender mercies
OF the Turk? Put her in chains to him, as
Crete has for some time been?
So far. Greece has treated this warning of
the Powers as If she considered it a bluff.
Her preparations for war have not been re-
tarded in the slightest by it. She still keeps
her original attitude. She Is not out for
conquest. or for the purpose Of provoking
anybody. What all civilized Europe should
have done. she has offered herself to do.
She Is certain to carry her point in the end
How much IL may cost her Is a problem.
But that Turkish misrule. II not Turkish
official presence. in Crete Is doomed. and
wholly as the result of Greece's splendid
exhibition of courage and character can
Tot be doubted. 1t Is the era all around the
world of better things for people who have
been under the harrow.

The Confirmation of Mr.. Ross.

IL Is not believed that the opposition TO
the confirmation of Mr.. Ross as Com
missioner of the District of Columbia.
which comes from silver democrats. will he
persisted in. II does not appear that any
considerable number of democrats are per-
sonaliy opposed to Mr.. Ross confirmation.
The opposition, such there Is. comes
from silver democrats. who, recognizing
Mr.. Ross personal fitness. still resent the
idea of having men who refused TO sup
port Bryan counted as democrats. At the
same time Mr. Ross fitness for the posi-
ton is generally recognized and the inap-
propriateness of dragging this position into
politics is impressing itself upon the Sen
ate.
Just before the close of the last admin
istration Mr.. Forman, who was not only a
gold democrat but was the gold democratic
candidate fer governor of Illinois against
the regular democratic nominee. was con-
frmed az commissioner of internal revenue
1t was urged by some of the silver demo-
Gratis then thai the confirmation should
not be permitted. and it was felt that there
was some point to that case. 1t Is now
suggested that it would oe extremely in
consistent to make fight on the appoint
ment Uf d man of recognized fitness to a
position which is essentially non-partisan.
AID that moreover to attempt 10 make a
national issue over any appointment in the
District of Columbia would be 20 belittle
the cause which 1t Is intended to advance.
Mr. Ross. 1T is urgei. being a resident of
the District Of Columbia Is not a national
political factor. and it is known that he
did net participate in the last campaign.
1t is admitted by every one that he is
democrat. agreeing with mis- party On all
important questions except this one of
silver In the position of District Com
missioner that difference of opinion cannot
have a chance to show itself nor can his
confirmation affect the cause in any way
There mas not yet been an agreement
among the silver advocates to antagonize
Mr.. Ross
The opposition is being urged by a few
In excessive zeal for silver and others who
acquiesce al all do so simply to the extent
of being ready to act with their party if it
Is 10 become party question. Wise coun-
sci is being given, however. against permit
ting il to become such. 1t is pointed out
that while certain gentlemen would make
an example of Mr.. Ross the gold demo-
Gratis in the Senate are received in the
democratic senatorial caucus and their de-
mocracy thereby acknowledged. II these
senators occupying elective positions can
disagree with their party on one question
and still be democrats ii is suggested that
ii would be extremely petty and incon-
sistent TO raise it as objection to Mr..
Ross confirmation that he did not endorse
the Chicago platform. The belief is that
since there is nothing personal in the fight
and those who oppose confirmation do SO
merely as a matter of politics the con-
clusion will be reached that the circum-
stances surrounding the appointment and
the character of the position itself will not
warrant this particular appointment being
selected as an example.
