has been made dependent on the devotion

welfare of the community. we are and
have been entirely out of the race.
DR.. Ohage is all right. The children of
the city seeking to battle in safety and
security have had nowhere 20 go outside
of the Bethel place. Drownings have been
frequent, as the doctor points out. While
other communities, smaller and infinitely
poorer than this, have established public
bathing and swimming places, we, with a
grand stream flowing by our doors. and
surrounded by a perfect Gordon of lakes,
have literally closed our eyes to the de-
mands of the people.
DR.. Ohage's plan will doubtless not ma
ture for some considerable time to come.
Il is most praiseworthy one. 1t will not
involve, to be sure, the purchase of a site
by the city at a big price, and to that
extent will not commend itself to those
canny gentlemen whom we are familiar
with by their activity on public occasions.
especially when there may be a chance Of
1ered to turn an honest penny by selling
a site for park or public building at
some hopelessly eXorbitant figure
The great immediate want is an enclos-
ure of some kind. That the doctor pro-
poses to furnish. AS he points out, it will
not be as imposing in its appearance as
some public bathing houses that exist;
but it will place at the disposal of the
common people the facility for bathing in
retirement and without cost. That is all
that is needed. That is all that ever was
needed. And it seems eminenuy fitting
that the man at the head of our local
health department should be the one to
take the initiative in movement the alb
sence of which has cried out against the
city in the name of good sense and good

A CANDID FRIEND.

President Mckinley and his real
friends owe debt of deep gratitude to
Congressman H. L. Johnson, of Indiana
That gentleman has spoken out with a
degree of frankness and good sense re-
garding the conduct and responsibility of
the president which may prove of lasting
benefit to the present incumbent of the
White house.
Coming from a Republican source. the
advice and warnings Uf Congressmar
Johnson are entitled to the highest con-
sideration. He tells the president what
every Democrat in the country might tell
him in vain, that his besetting sin is
weakness. He declares that the presi-
dent originally was opposed to the occu-
patton of the Philippines, but allowed
himself to be overpersuGded by the
smart men OF the administration. like

as, for instance, when he intimates that
there is a spice of hypocrisy in the char
acter and conduct of the president But
this he breaks the force of in a judicious
way by declaring that he is not now and
never was a Mckinley man.
There are q great many thousand cit1-
zens of the United States who have al
ways regarded the president as a fairly
well-meaning man, whose weakness may
be his undning. How he was elected to
the presidency it is not now necessary
to recall. But his election has been ac-
complished, and he. is now president and
will continue such for some twenty
months to come. ETe still has 1t in his

ing influences which have surrounded

Kinley showed a commendable unwilling
ness to force meters to an issue, and,
were it not for the happening OF the
Maine, would probably have been able to
still further stave off action by this peo-
pie on the Cuban difficulty. His conser-
vative attitude all through that period led
many to expect the best results from his
administration.
We are now in the clutch Of a band Of
political cormGrants. They see great
feeding in Cuba and the Philippines We
are spending untold thousands of dol
lars to enable them to get their prey in
sufficient quantity in both places. The
Philippines are especially rich for them.
And to secure and mold those islands,
chiefly for their good, we have embarked
on a career the end of which no Ran

an end to all this. Let him but shake off
the hold which these birds of prey have

What the government of France has
been apparently seeking to prevent, but
that which its entire course has In
vited. has happened. The shooting OF
M Labori is the outcome of the fearful
tension at which public sentiment has
been maintained in Paris in connection
with the Dreyfus trial The tragedy
represents the only logical answer which
the anti-Semitic element of French So
ciety has to offer. All attempts at
maintaining the appearance of acting in
the public interest in the proceedings
which are now in progress have been
abandoned. Violence and crime are al
ways the final resort of defeated GRIM
nals. If only they are sufficiently des-
perate.
So far as the reading public of the
world is permitted to know, not a single
circumstance has been brought out in
this so-calIed trial sustaining the charge
against Dreyfus. sInstlfe light of his ap-
paregf Innocence, wllat=sa huge travesty
'iss ~ II lA4S ~ ONCColIlS5- ilN tO4l-
tinuanee, like The foolish demonstration
over the return of Maj Marchand, may
seem to be in consonance with the ma
tional dignity. In the one case, as in the
other. however, it merely debases the
French people in the eyes of the world.
1t does not require an extended knowI-
edge OF the Dreyfus incident to reach
the conclusion that the unfortunate vic
tim who has been for the past five
years in the tolls of French militarism.
is a sorely prosecuted man. There is no
parallel to be found for such treatment
of any individual by powerful govern
ment whose guilt of grave national crime
has not been established beyond doubt.
He is Jew, and Jew-baiting in France
shows a large section of the French reo-
pie, with all their veneer of refinement. to
be no more humane or just than were
their ancestors three generations ago.
Racial and religious bigOtry is still as rife
among this class of the French people
as it ever was, and their operations in
seem at times 10 have brought France
to the verge of another revolution.
Whether the injury to NJ. Labori proves
serious, the fact that such an outrage
was perpetrated must inevitably operate
to the advantage of his client. His
reported saying that Dreyfus is saved as
the result of his own attempted as
sassination, whether it was ever
made. is true. Dreyfus will be released
1t will be well for the honor and safety
of France if his release should come
quickly Thanks to the few cool heads
among the men in high place in France.
1t is not at all impossible that the re-
suit will finally be one promotive in
every way Of the welfare of the French
nation.

DOUBT THE STORY.
Police Take Little Stock in a Re-
port Made to Central

A story came to the attention of the
police last evening concerning the death
or John Z. McBain, at his home, 376 Mar
ket street, Sunday. McBain was buried
Yesterday, and the story was reported to
the police by the dead mans brother,
Robert McBain, living at 132 East Eighth
street, last evening
John E. McBain was i'll with consump-
ton. Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
DR.. Miller left the sick man several pow
ders. About two hours later McBain
died. Later an 11-year-old son of Robert
McBain was at the home Of his dead un-
Gle. While the boy was with his cousin,
an 8-year-old son of the dead man, it is
alleged the statement that was reported
to the police was made
The two boys were standing near
trunk in the house when, so the son of
Robert McBain told Capt. Rouleau last
evening, his younger cousin picked up
bottle and made a suspicious remark
about it.
The boy didn't know what the bottle
contained, nor did anyone else Neither
the police nor county attorney attach any
credence to the story of the child. Mrs.
McBain was not at home last evening,
consequently could not be seen.

that it is rather late in the season to en-

P. V. Kelly, living at 900 Ninth street

What led Kelly to take the pioson is
a matter of doubt. He swallowed the
drug in Gallaghers saloon, 457 Wabasha

on the bottle showed that the poison had
been purchased at a drug store at Ninth

learned of what Kelly had done and took

time beginning to fall into stupor, but
by rapid walking to the central station

When he reached the hospital he was
