may be that this sad ending of two
nights campaign will put a stop to the
rovings Of crowds with clubs, stones and
even with blackjacks in their hands. In
any event the police should be warned by
this episode that the course of safety Is
to scatter all such gatherings of disorderly
boys. to send them to their homes and to
arrest their leaders, if necessary, in order
to impress upon them the fact that the
time for rowing gangs Of youngsters has
gone by in Washington. 1t seems incredi-
bic that these assemblages could have o1-

tional quarrels and thus. it may be, to pre-

Juvenile "GanrS"

Aithoush the coroner's jury last week
sittifg IN the case of the lad who was killed
IN scrnnmaSe with other boys, did not
ma testimony to warrant holding the ac-
cused youth for further inquiry the affair
was sufficiently serious to justify a more
searching investigation to ascertain the
responsibility for the tragedy. 1t Is we'll
understood that boys in their teens will
occasionally form groups or crowds" to
wage offensive and defensive warfare in
neighborhood feuds. Sometimes they range
about in search of excitement in the rest
lessness of youth. They often arm them
selves with sticks and stones Or even
more dangerous weapons. In the older
days of the capital local gangs" were the
terror of the town. Their fights were often
bloody battles. OF late years these bands
of disorderiy youths have been gradually
broken up by the police. and the city S
peace has been accordingly better pre-
served. From the slight evidence given
Saturday before the coroner's jury it Is
clear that the encounters of last week were
the result Of some such neighborhood an
tagonisms. Two groups of boys had been
maneuvering around with their rude wea-
pons, making empty threats, talking pug
naciously. and perhaps urged on by older
boys. There were two such meetings one
Immediately following the other There
was apparently bad feeling between indi-
vidual members of the crowds. When at
last Thursday night one of the boys
rushed into a group of his antagonists and
began striking about him it was natural
to expect trouble. A blow was struck on
the head and the aggressive youngster fell
over. wounded to death. 1t is perhaps
questionable whether any positive good re-
suit would flow from the application to
such case of the ordinary principles
which obtain when human life is taken.
But IT would doubtless be wholesome OBJ

The KAISER MisUuoted.

The Beriiner TagebIatt published last
week q story of an interview which Repre-
sentative Foss of Illinois had had with
Emperor William a few days before at
kiel, during which the emperor was said to
have expressed his reliance for peace with
the United States on the influence of the
Germau-American citizens of this country
who would take gCcd care that nothing
should be done prejudicial to Germany $
interests by this government The Tage-
tlatt stated that it could not vouch for the
verbal accuracy of its report of the kaiser's
remarks. but ii could. and did vouch for
their substance. The Star expressed the
hope and belief that the Tageblatt was no
more accurate as to the one than as to the
other. And such proves to be the case.
Mr.. Foss from London puts an end to the
whole yarn. The kaiser IN the interview in
question said nothing of the kind
The kaiser in many matters is law I'M
TO himself and now and then says and does
some startling things. But such a thing as
the one alleged would have been extraordi-
nary even for the kaiser. He was talking to
member of the American Congress- and in
the presence of the naval attache of the
American legation at Berlin, and yet was
made to boast in substance that ne held
electorate in matters affecting Germany.
and that. he indicated. German rler-
leans in such matters would do his bidding
He could not OF course have afforded to
make such boast. nor could Mr. Foss
either as an American official or citizen.
have afforded to permit such a remark to
pass unrebuked even from an emperor
For Mr.. Foss. even in that presence was
a sovereign himself
The country is prepared to believe that
what the kaiser did say about international
questions on that occasion was friendly To
the United States. The two governments
are at peace, and are likely to remain at
peace. They are rivals in trade, and are
likely to remain so. Both are in the front
rank of nations and will try to keep their
places. The United States undoubtedly will
try to keep its place and has no thought OF
making itself disagreeable to any of its
rivals In the furtherance of it's policies

Dangers of the Live Wire

From the Chicago Record
The hideous accident at Omaha Wednes-
day afternoon, where four firemen were
killed outright by contact with live wire,
conveys lessons which are too important
to be disregarded. The firemen were work
ing their way up the side of a burning
building when wire broke. the falling end
catching the men in its descent
Ffremen at work upon burning buildings
are not apt to waste much time in con-
sidering precautionary measures for their
own safety, but both on their account and
for the welfare of the general public il
should be insisted that further safeguards
against the live wire be provided. 1t
should be within the province of the build
ing and fire departments of every city to
demand that live wires be placed so as to
interfere as little possible with the
movements of firemen. In every case there
should be a means of breaking all electrical
connections Immediately, and thus render
ing the wires harmless.
The second and equally important lesson
of the Omaha catastrophe is that the
further use of the live wire in places where
it is a menace to human life is to be op-
posed vigorously. The worst and most
common of the live-wire dangers is in the
overhead trolley wire. Every fresh mani
festation of the deadliness of the live wire
is another argument for the abolition of
the overhead trolley system.

suggest. on to the court to offset actual
conditions They are permitted to utter
the statements of second, third and fourth
parties with all the authority Of a first
statement. Hearsay evidence abounds,
with marginal annotations by the witness.
At no time has the trial been held within
the defined lines of the inquiry set by the
court of cessation. Despite the fact that
the bordereau is now discredited, that Es
terhazy has confessed again and again to
having forged it, witnesses yesterday de-
clare6 heir belief that Dreyfus was the
real author. Even if Esterhazy were a
traitor, they said. he could not possibly
have been more than an accomplish, and
therefore Dreyfus must have been his prin-
cipal. The suggestion that these two men
were. the American phrase runs ''in ca
hoots'' in the selling Of French secrets to
Germany is altogether too absurd for the
maintenance of that gravity which the
situation demands. Esterhazy and Drey-
fusi If they were allies In the despiCable
business they were consummate actors to
pretend enmity successfully. and Ester
hazy was eventually false both to his coun-
try and to his pal. AS the trial progresses
it is apparent that it is useless to apply to
its consideration the standards OF CIVIL
military legal procedure which obtain
here and in England. The court room is
turned into debating society. Witnesses
become advocates and prosecutors. Cross
examination is prevented by assassination.
Out of the mess just verdict may come
But it is clear that the most tremendous
influences are at work to prejudice the
court with the stubborn belief OF the high
officers and officials in the guilt of the &C
cused. 1t is now reported that a frequent
exclamation among the radical anti-Sem-
ties is: "Dreyfus must be convicted, even
if he is innocent" Were the court bound
by the rules of evidence, or by the prin-
ciples of justice. such an outcome would
apparently be impossible. But so much de-
ponds upon the verdict, and so fierce are
the feelings of the partisans. that it is I'M
safe to place too strong faith In the
virtue of the court or it's intelligence or
it's ability to Withstand prejudices and
pressure.

Cookers Interest In Politics.
From the phiIadpluhia Record

little disposed to wink at a second nomina
ton of William j. Bryan. He comes back

ing Bryan as lone of the greatest men
America has ever produced" The simple
explanation of this change is that the Tam
many chiefs interest in politics is merely
personal. Having no anchor in political
principle, his judgment of measures of pub
lie policy is apt to be as transitory and
capricious-and, therefore. as. worthiess-as
his estimate of public men.

thing to be boycotted in a coed cause. and
to boycott bad cause as a rule is super.
fluous. If the strikers in Cleveland think
they are to win by stopping the business Of
the town by dynamite, they mistake. The
trusts are bad thai are run by watered
stock: but they are worse that are run by
