The Match and the Smoker.

The Windsor hotel has been RACED
to the ground, and several human
beings have lost their lives in conse-
quence.
This tragedy would have been la
lmentable enough had il been from
the hand of Providence, but as it is
it is the work of a match and a smok:
er. With the unconcern born of the
continuous use of the weed, and the
striking of matches, some un nown
person started the blaze that result
ed as stated. What mattered the
result In comparison with the smok-
er enjoying the luxury? What i'm
pertinence it would have been ON
the part of the employee to have tap
ped him on the shoulder and told
him to suspend the work in which he
was engaged, He had rioht 70
smoke he had a right to carry q
match; he had right to strike the
match, even though the building
were filled with inflamable mater ia
and lace curtains hung all aroun I
hlm to catch the incipient blaze.
Today the anne smoker is striking
his match somewhere else. There
are funeral proceedings in several
directions; there are families in
grief; but our friend has the right to
enjoy his smoke and strike his
match.
Recently the cities of the Union
have becnpassing ordinances for the
purpose OF checking up the permits
cuOus spitters. 1t was a nuisance
when it was felt called for to remeA
dy, and the strong power of mnnici-
pal law is trying to meet it. Would
1T not be equally as well TO do some
thing with those careless people who
cary al bout with the almost un-
concern, and who care not, and who
are not responsible, even if they did
care, for the damage which they NAV
DO! The most persistent stickler
foc what he thinks his rights to be
found in this country is the smoker
and it would seem that there vonl1
be some check placed upon their
Wholesale claim for consideration. -

The Walker-Hamilton episode IN
Bristol is a matter for profound
regret by all parties, Whatsoever
may be their political affiliations
Jeopardizing the lives of two
prominent citizens, heads of fami.
lies, is very serious affair. 1t is
childish, to say the least, to blame
either party to the excusing en-
tIrely of the other. In all sncb
cases both parties are blamable
The difficulty could have and
should have been avoided. When
gentlemen differ there are hon
orable methods Of settling thoir
differences, if little time is taken
to think.
The custom of carrying pistols
is one of the most unfortunate
among us. A little pistol i'm the
mp pocket and little flask in the
breast pocket-these are two dan.
gerous weapons, and have caused
many a crime and tragedy which
tine, and even repentance, cannot
"ure.

both the unfortunate victims Of

A Question:.

The Orange Observer says that
the Democratic party in 1900 will
present a united front against i'm
perialism, and that it would not be
true to its traditions, and faithful
to its principles, if it did other
wise. Democracy, continues the
Observer, means the rule of the
people and the consent of the gov
erned, the strict limitation of the
executive power. Imperialism
means the OppOsite-the ruIo of
officials, the consent of the gov
erning classes, the unlimited pow
er Of the Executive. 1t is the diff
erence between republic and EN-
pire.
Our Orange contemporary sets
forth clearly and succinctly the
obligation that rests upon the
Democratic party, aud no less
clearly and succ;nctly it defines the
difference between Democracy and
Imperialism.
But VIII the Democratic party
IN 1900 present united front to
Imperialism? That is. will the
Democratic masses have been
aroushd to a full sense of their OBJ
legation, and full appreciation of
the difference between Democracy
and imperialism, or, what is the
same thing, Mckinley Republican
ism.
1t is for their leaders to say. If
the answer is to be in the affirma.
tive, no time should be lost in or
ganizing for the crmpaign of 1900.
stirring the people up to their
duty, and making the issues of
the campaign contest so plain that
he who runs may read.
