gram. states that the campaign ID to be
one OF education. He says:
I'VE expect to show in elections like those
In Ohio. Kentucky and Iowa that we hold
the balance OF power. and that II IL impos-
sible for q so-called democratic ticket to
win on q free silver platform. II It cal
win after such q fight as we will make,
there Is no reason for the existence Of this
movement. and we will go out of business. -
This is not as clear as might be. One
can understand what will follow in case the
hopes and expectations Of the gold demo-
Gratis are realized. If 1t proves to be true
that they hold the balance Of power-that
by standing together they are able to de-
feat the silver men-they will of course
execute the same maneuver next year In the
Congress elections. and again in 1900 in
case another national campaign is made on
the silver issue. But suppose they are dis
appointed. Suppose the results show that
they do not hold the balance of power,
Suppose silver musters strong this year,
and scores victory. What then? What
does Mr.. Bynum mean by the phrase go
Ing out OF business?" If they lose this
year. will he and his friends then 70 over
frankly and fully to the republicans? Or
will they surrender to the Bryanites and
return home?
This one fact cannot be blinked or sue
cessfully disputed. The republican party
will continue to be, as it was last year,
the hope and mainstay of the sound money
cause. Its success will mean sound money
success; its defeat. a distinct triumph and
encouragement for silver.

The Gold Democrats,

The plans Of the gold democrats for this
years state campaigns are now formally
announced. Tickets are to be put into the
field. and active canvasses made. The
leaders declare that it is time for those Of
their faith Ito stand up and be counted +"
They express the belief that in at least
three states. Ohio. Iowa, and Kentucky,
they will poll a very large vote, and demon
strate that. In comparison with the returns
of last year. silver Is losing its hold on the
democratic psrty.
This movement ought to insure republi.
can success. II these men arc as numerous
as they believe themselves to be, and their
organization Is made as complete as they
have 1t In their power to make 1t, the silver
tickets that have been put up cannot win.
The republicans will have only to adjust
their local differences and get their votes
to the polls to carry the day. In Iowa and
Ohio there is good prospect Of this, and
while the republican situation In Kentucky
is not 50 promising. as the result of some
fierce fighting over spoils 1t ought to i'm.
prove under the inspiration of this stlll
more bitter struggle In progress within the
camp of the democracy.

Grated about which the sentiment OF the
people Of the United States Is at all OBJ
scure, or about which they would permit
their sentiment to be compromised. The
most recent episode with Spain Is the
preparation of the case for a demand for
indemnity in the Ruiz case. That demand
will undoubtedly be made and pressed.
There is nothing at issue between this gov
eminent and Japan but the question Of an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands. A treaty has
teen signed and annexation will be certain
to follow. Japan has been notified that her
rights In the islands will be respected. Mr..
Sherman's letter on the subject Of preserv-
ing seal life states a series Of facts in q
plain but by no means insulting way. This
pother about the form Of the letter leads
to the belief that the substance cannot
safely be tackled by England. As for the
tariff. the policy Of protection has been the
American policy 50 long that the enac tment
Of the Dingley bill needs no explanation.
Wherein, therefore, has the United States
offended any of these nations? We are not
trying to pick quarrel with anybody.
Neither do we expect quarrel in the ma
ture of war to result from any step that
has been taken in any matter mentioned In
this London cable. War is not on the cards
of the United States in any calculations
now being made. But. Of course. the BUSH
ness of this government will be conducted
in the American way. and there need be no
mistake on that point There are some
sharp divisions about domestic policies, but
toward all foreign powers the people OF
the United States present practically
solid front. With a good American In the
White House. the good Americans in both
parties-and they are overwhelmingly In
the majority there-stand ready to sup
port him in any step he has taken or may
take in vindication of American rights and
in furtherance of wise and progressive
policies.

A communication was printed in The Star
the other day from a resident who COM
planned of the SCOT constantly sifted upon
him and his premises by neighborins
fcemaking plant. This experience Is
sections. for the smoke nuisance is stead
lily growing. in the absence of restrictive
law such has been adopted in some
other municipalities. There Is little chance
for redress or relief under the existing
statutes or police regulations, though the
law under which the latter are framed gives
the Commissioners the right to adopt and
enforce rules for the preservation of prop
erty and health. By a stretch of this pro-
vision some sort of regulation might per-
haps be drawn. but there is no fund from
which an inspector of furnaces and Chin
neys could be paid, and under the circum-
stance 1t Is probably necessary that Con-
gress should come to the rescue with a
careful llS stating the restrictions to be
placed upon the use of soft coal In large
quantities and perhaps stipuiasing the style
Of furnaces to be used. 1t Is to be remem-
eered that in this matter the presence or
absence Of sooty smoke depends upon the
KIND or CRATE used. the methods of stoking
employed and the degree of care ex-
ercised IN the management of the furnace.
These factors make 1t advisable that the
District should have constantly on duty
an officer qualified to pass upon the me-
chanical points involved and capable of
discriminating between an objectionable
smoke and harmless emission from the
chimneys.

Next Year. Meeting of Teachers.

Presentations are now under way to
secure. IL possible the selection Of Wash
.ngton as the meeting place Of the National
Educational Association next year. At the
Milwaukee convention the choice OF the
next meeting place was left to the execu-
tive committee of the organization, with
Instructions to select that city desiring the
honor which made the most attractive
offer. The committee will visit Washington
on its rounds next month and the local
eudeavor now is to present such a showing
that the capital will distance all Compel
ttors. This should be a relatively easy
task for Washington already has an estab-
lished reputation as a convenient and hos
p:table convention city, yet the competition
Is brisk and the reasons to be presented to
the executive committee by the local COM
mittee must be substantial and alluring.
The factors that enter most largely into
the matter are the railroad rates to and
from the convention, the rates that will be
charged here by the hotels and boarding
houses. and the accommodations to be
furnished for the sessions of the associa-
ton. There are many business advantages
to be derived from the visit of such a body
Of people. 1t is estimated that there will
be fully 10000 in attendance next year. If
the session is held here. They will bring
profit to many lines of enterprise and will
derive many benefits in return. The crowd
Will surely he large enough to warrant
Unusual fort to secure the decision Of the
committee and doubtless the local bodies
that now have the case in hand will receive
the active cooperation of all citizens. 1t
is to be noted that in addition to the ad-
yantages of a business nature to be derived
from such a convention the city will be
greatly instructed in a practical way
through coming in contact with the latest
IDEAS in education and through the oppor-
tunity thus presented to secure a parallel
between the local system of public schools
and those Of other cities.

Some Foreign Observation-Disclosures

titude of the United States with regard to
certain foreign questions. Said the Suns
correspondent:
The impression that the people of the
nited states are determined to pick a
quarrel with somebody Is gaining ground
quite rapidly in Europe, especially within
the past few days. and IL Is being indus
triousiy fostered by the English press 1t
Is important that this fact be promptly
iecosnized In America and as promptly
dealt with. for 1t IL just as possible to
damage the reputation of a nation as of an
individual. and the CONSEQUENCE s are much

An International study of Leprosy.

An international conference Is to be held
in Berlin next October. At this conference
papers are to be read by the most eminent
physicians and psychologists Of the world
on the subject of leprosy. which has hith-
erto baffied all efforts to solve it's origin
and to provide cure. Leprosy has been
spreading of late years with increasing
rapidity. and the need Of some means OF
ease has been emphasized by the carrying
of the plague into new regions. From the
nature of the disease it does not reproduce
itself as rapidly as do the quicker con-
tagions, such as cholera, yellow fever,
smallpox. bubonic plague and others of
that sort. but each case is a grave menace
to any con munity and inspires the health
officials to unusual efforts at isolation. 1t
seems straI ge that with all the progress in
medicine and bacteriology Of late years
practically no new facts should have been
learned with regard to leprosy. which has
been known as dread disease since the
earliest times. 1t has remained a mystery
and it is the hope of the projectors of the
Berlin conference that in the interchange
of ideas concerning the evil new lines OF
inquiry will be opened up and some for
ward steps taken toward the long-sought
goal of complete analysis and reliable cure.
Among those who are to participate in
this meeting are Prof. Koch of lymph
fame. Virchow. one of the worlds greatest
medical discoveries, and many others OF
great repute. The United States will be
represented by Surgeon Kinyoun of the
Marine Hospital Service. who is well quail
fed to take part in SO important a confer
elce.

The City'a Parks.

Col. Bingham shows a deep interest in
the welfare Of the local parks in his ca
pacity as superintendent Of public build
ings and grounds. These open spaces, lib
orally permitted by the city's plans, have
not been developed to their full possibili-
ties and the capital has fallen proportion
ately short Of its complete attachments in
the line Of landscape effects Col. Bing-
ham in his report speaks Of the lack OF
fountains and makes some valuable sug-
gestions for supplying the deficiency. The
Star recently printed the communication OF
citizen who complained of the removal
Of the fountain from Iowa Circle to make
room for the statue of Gen. Logan soon
to be erected there. To some eyes an ar
tisticaly arranged fountain with its jet Of
water, its basin filled with aquatic plants
and its rim bordered with flowers, is g.
thing Of greater beauty than the average
bronze statue. The artistic standards al
ready established here In the parks and
reservations by statues and monuments are
none to high to prohibit this comparison
There is, however. no irrepressible conflict
between the fountain and statue. Both are
to be literally and artistically employed
In the adornment Of Washington. Col
Binsham's proposition to establish a num-
Der of electric fountains in various parts
of the city is an excellent one. 1t aims
first at the avoidance of a prodigal waste
Of the water and then at the establish
ment OF methods of illumination that are
unknown at present IN Washington. 1t is
fortunate that the superintendent does not
confine himself to a notice Of the larger res
ervations. but advises the improvement Of
the many small "parklets," as he terms
them. at the intersection Of streets and ave-
nues. which are now utterly neglected and
are In many cases eye-sores rather than the
garden spots into which they could be
transformed at slight cost. The recon-
endations contained in this report, even IT
carried out only in part. would add so ma
terially to the attractiveness of the city
that Congress would never regret the nee
essary appropriations.

Cuba's Pest Hole.

Reports Of the health conditions in Cuba
officially received here are far from reas-
surfing either as to the welfare of the
Cubans or as to the security of these shores
from contamination. yellow fever and
small pox prevail in the island this summer
as usual. and though the traffic between
the United States and Cuba Is now at low
ebb the Information received by the Marine
Hospital Service shows that it Is unusually
Difficult. to enforce the quarantine regula-
lions. The surgeon at Havana represent
ing this government says In a recent report
that it is extremely difficult to provide
against the spread Of small pox by the
vaccination of passengers on steamers on
their way to the United States because Of
the many tricks played upon the officials.
Seine passengers seek to remove the virus
Immediately after the operation and now
it Is the practice to keep them all in GUS
tody for several minutes, until 1t Is certain
that the virus has taken effect. Others try
to simulate vaccination by blistering their
arms. but this device has been detected and
Is now regularly exposed and has been
almost abandoned. There seems to be an
exodus OF Cinnamon from Havana to New
York at present-presumably permitted by
the laws-and these tricky immigrants are
constantly being detected in the use of
methods of deception to prevent VAGINA
ton and examination as to their health.
One of the greatest troubles Is the practice
that has grown up among certain class of
Cuban physicians Of giving to outgoing
passengers false certificates of acclimation,
for which they receive large fees. The Wig
lance of the medical officers Is such, how
ever, that this subterfuge has been dis
covered and the port officials now have a
blacklist of medical men who made q
practice of selling these lying certificates
1t appears from this report that conditions
in Havana are unsanitary to the last degree,
the surgeon remarking in conclusion: 1T
Is almost useless to refer to the sanitary
condition of the city, unless it be to say
that on account of the prevailing war.there
is even less attention than usual paid to
sanitation This is very strong indict-
ment. for Havana is VIGOROUSLY and habit
ually unclean.
