The Periodicity of Hard Times

Speaker Reed in the Illustrated American.
Nothing has been more thoroughly well
understood by those who have studied the
past even in the superficial way in which
we all study it than that there is a regular
succession of prosperity and adversely of
adversely and prosperity, which varies in
causes and appearances, but which Is sub
Stantially the same century after century.
We will not press too strongly the seven
fat and seven lean kline which came up out
of the in the dream of Pharaoh. but
You may depend upon it that that dream
had it's origin in actual events, and that the
alienation of good times and hard times
antedates the pyramids.
But whether that be not. the COM
pick nature of modern society, the welding
together in matters of trade of the whole
world from China to Peru and from far
Cathay to the Polar zones. has made the
periodicty of this alienation more mark
ed, more clearly defined, wider spread and
more nearly universal Has it ever &C.
CURED to you to think that the wisdom of
the laws which govern the universe can
even in this case be justified to human rea-
son and sense and that hard times them
selves help work out the salvation of the
human race?

fierce thunder storm passed over
Brooklyn the other night and an electric
bolt struck the elevated railroad structure
at point near the center of the city. The
lightning melted the overhead trolley
lines that are suspended from the ele-
waited structure in this portion of the
town and in a moment the street below
was occupied by writhing mass of highly
charged metal. twisting here and there
and filling the air with sparks. Just then
fire engine dashed up the street, headed
for a nearby fire. The horses plunged into
the tangle of live wires and in a moment
enc of them was dead. another was ter
ribly burned and shocked, the metal ap-
fell from their engine seriously shocked
and the greatest confusion prevailed
Meanwhile the fire blazed away unhin-
dered. 1t required some minutes to un-
tangle the wreck and to revive the fire
men. A new pair of horses had to be
brought from the nearest engine house and
later the company returned to their quar-
tiers. too badly shaken up for further serv-
ice. Yet it is said in defense of the over
head trolley that it is not at all danger
Gus. and that it is an ornament and
blessing to any community that it adorns.
The ordinary telegraph wire is an obstruc
tive element whenever fire occurs, but
this latest freak of the electrical current
adds another horror to the perils that sur
round the fiji e-fighters in large cities that
have not succeeded in forcing all forms
of electrical conductors under ground.

arrived. There had been a great display of
German colors. a general playing of Ger
man airs by the bands, and loud hurrah-
ing by the Russian crowds. in honor of the
German visitor. So how is all that to be
reconciled with this French expectation
that Russia is to help France get even with
her old enemy and re-assert French author
ity over Alsace-Lorraine? The Gar is a
young man of tact and capacity, and he
pc ssesses good deal of power. but he
undoubtedly has a most difficult task on
hand il he is to keep the friendship of two
powers so fiercely antagonistic in all things
France.
The Star referred some weeks ago to an
article contributed by ex-senator Eustis to
the July number of the North American
Review On this subject of the Franco-Rus-
Faure to the Car serves to recall the
opinion there expressed. That opinion was
that France had nothing to hope for from
the alliance: that she had formed it in her
helpiessncss, no other power offering to
take her outstretched hand; and it was
pretty broadly suggested that the so-called
policy of revenge was unworthy of great
nation, and if persisted in to the neglect
OF the duties and opportunities of this pro-
gressive era, would result in reducing
France to a second class power. Mr.. Eustis
spent four years in France as the American
ambassador, and had rare opportunities for
studying the whole case. He is moreover a
profound student of international questions,
ard his admiration for France and the
French people is not concealed in this very
frank expression of regret at the course the
French statesmen of the day are pursuing.

The LOaf's Price and Weight.

Although the bakers are generally agreed
and outspoken in their agreement that the
present rise in the price of wheat does not
warrant rise in the retail price of bread,
cases have developed in which unscrupu
lcus dealers in this common necessity of
life have taken unWarranted advantage of
the opportunity thus afforded This is done
in two ways, by the retailer quietly adding
an extra cent to the price or by the baker
quietly reducing the weight of the loaf.
There are some bakers who have not hest
tated to make good the difference between
the former cost of the loaf to them and the
present expense. caused by the rise in
wheat prices, by reducing the material in
each loaf by a few ounces, in spite of the
fact that most bakers have now sufficient
stocks of -four hand to make such a
move as unnecessary it is unjustfiable
and Illegal. To the average householder
the loss of a few ounces of food material
does MT make d marked difference but
in the case of the poor. with whom each
penny and each pound is of grave import
ance. such schemes of petty fraud are of
consequence. Every user of bread will
doubtless look to the weight and price of
his loaf.

National Educational Project

The Stars latest information on the sub
ject is to the effect that there is no likei-
hood that the score of the proposed Cath
clio college for women, Trinity Hall, soon
TO be erected near the Catholic University
in the suburbs. will be curtailed or that
the institution will be less than national
in lis Gins ar q works. Statements to the
latter effect have recently been circulated
ard it was feared that perhaps this new
establishment, which is to be located here
in recognition of the fact that Washing
ten is great and growing educational
center, might be restricted to diocesan op-
erations. thus scaling it down from the as
pirations Of its projectors. This does not
row seem likely TO prove true, and there is
cause for satisfaction on the part of all
WashinStonians who believe that the can
ital city is destined to become the great
seat of learning in the United States in the
hear future.

Reducing the Di.comfo fort. Of Trax.,

Reducing the DfscOmfOrts of Travel
One of the big trunk railroad lines has
lately been experimenting with success in
an effort to reduce one Of the most serious
discomforts of travel. 1t is sought to pre-
vent the flying of fine dust particles as the
train PUSHES ever the rails. and to this end
oil is spread over the road bed in proper
quantities. The swift passage of the train
causes partial vacuum at the end of each
coach. into which the comparatively still
air on the sides rushes in obedience TO
natural laws. This artificial wind sweeps
up the fine dust-that lies between the rails
and 1t flies into the cars through the small
est openings. Passengers IN the rear
coaches CT trains suffer particularly from
this annoyance. especially in summer, when
1t is almost necessary to keep doors and
windows open. The cinder screens that
are used in some cars afford no protection
against the dust, and the Oil experiment is
being conducted in the hope that the nui-
sance may be wholly abated The Oil acts
as blanket over the dust already accu-
INFLATED on the roadbed. and as holder OF
other dust that may fall. and 1t is be-
iieved that single application Of this ma

The Franco-Russian alliance grows in
interest. What 1t all means Is difficult to
tell Russia's part of the game is at pres
ent complete mystery. She expects of
course to profit by it, and the general ex-
pectation is that she will. but in what
way, or how soon. speculation offers little
that Is satisfactory. France-always emo
tional-comes out frankly with what she
has In view. She wants assistance in her
lcng cherished policy OF revenge for the
loss of Alsace-Lorraine and some of the
Paris newspapers are noisy in their conf
dence that Russia will supply it.
This, however, Is to be considered in con.
pection with the fact that Russia pro-
fesses as sincere friendship for Germany

Latest reports from Maryland all go to
confirm the opinion that the republican
state convention at Ocean City acted wise
1y and for the best interests of the sound
money cause. Expressions of approval
come from both the press and the people.
The Star yesterday printed a number of
interviews with prominent men who par
ticipated in the proceedings of the conven-
ton. the general tone of which adj
n,irable and most assuring. There was no
overcoming. Everybody seemed to feel the
new responsibility imposed upon the party,
the necessity of harmony. and the right the
public now had to expect the bringing
about of harmony. If only this feeling can
be sustained. and be made the guide or
future conduct. the state may be expected
to give a coed account of herself in No
vember.
That here and there some sharp criticism
of Mr.. Wellington should still survive is
not surprising. He is an aggressive man
who in two campaigns has won reputation
Ss a manager, and as reward has been
elected to the Senate. Naturally. he has
drawn about him WI hat is called follow
ing" For several months prior to the con-
vention. he with his following had been
the storm center in the state. and in the
great stress of the circumstances he was
not guided by good Judgment. He at
tempted too much-more than was war
Ianted. and more. as he found out than he
could execute. The convention refused to
indorsa his course
Mr.. Wellington did not control at Ocean
City. But it would be the height of folly
in those who did control to undertake to
reckon without him in the coming battle.
He knows the state from end to end. and
has friends in every county. His services
and theirs are of value. They are. indeed.
Indispensable. Clearly, MIR. Wellington and
his friends must not be driven by any slight
CT ate mpted persecution into an attitude
of Indifference in the coming fight. Mr..
Wellingtons mistakes and reverses do not
dsqualify him for duties of high respon-
sibilty. Other and ADLER and more expert
enced men than he have. like himself, at
tempted too much in the management of
party affairs. but have lived through fac
tional defeat to render conspicuous services
against the common enemy. and in doing
have atoned in large measure for past
plumbers. In fact. in politics. as in other
fields. defeat is often the best test of
man. If MIR. Wellington is of the stuff of
which real leaders are made it is in his
power to profit much by the result at
Ocean City as those who by a narrow mar
gin overthrow him.
But. eliminating all personalities. the
Maryland situation is promising because in
terest in the outcome is deeply and gener-
ally aroused. and the prevailing spirit is
that of earnest desire to secure by hon
est means the popular Judgment and obey

Japan Proposing Conditions.

1t now appears that Japans acceptance
of Hawaii's proposition to submit the i'm
migration dispute to arbitration is accom-
panied by conditions that Hawaii cannot
safely accept Japan's proposition. in brief
is SO to widen the field of the arbitra ton
that Hawaiis right to enact protective
laws in relation to immigrants may be
tested by third party. Hawaii wisely re-
CARDS this proposition tending to jeopar-
die her own sovereignty. by submitting
her right TO enact laws at her own pleas
IRE to an international court. The question
that should go to arbitration is merely
whether in law in equity, under the
terms of a treaty or in the absence of no.
tice of a change of policy. Hawaii should
reimburse certain individual japanese who
Were refused admittance to the islands the
Pecuniary losses incurred by them in con-
sequence of this refusal The issue is
whether Hawaii owes money; not whether
she has made an irrevocable treaty with
Japan which virtually transfers Hawaiian
sovereignty to that power. Hawaii's ac-
ceptance of the present proposal of Japan
would involve the entire question of ma
tional stability. to preserve which she is
even now resisting Japans reading of her
treaty with that government The next
step will doubtless be a denial by Hawaii
of Japan's right SO to compiicate the situa-
ton. and restating of the plain PROPOSE
tons that are properly the subject matter
for court of arbitration. This will lead to
furthe. correspondence. notwithstanding
the hint now thrown out that Japan's pres
ent note is in the nature of an ultima tum.
There is no necessity and no justification
for such an ultimatum. and it is wholly
within Hawaii's right to require that full
time be permitted in the negotiations pre-
lirninary to an arbitration if one is to be
had
