Criminal CareIessneNs.

Within two days there have been two
shocking accidents due TO inexcusable care
lessness in the handling of poisons. In New
York Sunday morning mother rubbed her
ailng child with the contents of bottle
thinking 1t was merely a simple healing
lotion. 1t proved to be carbOlc acid. The
child was seriously, II not fatally, burned
and the mothers hand was also painfully
injured. Yesterday in Philadelphia a six
year-old girl picked up an ordinary soda
bottle and, being thirsty. took long drink
from 1t. Again the contents of the bottle
proved to be carbolic acid, which had been
purchased for household purposes, and the
child was severely burned.
One rarely picks up daily paper without
reading of such accidents. New drugs are
placed in old bottles, the labels are not
changed and some one swallows a deadly
poison believing it to be a harmless medi-
cine. Legislation cannot instill common
sense into the minds of people nor compel
them to exercise it II they are so fortunate
as to possess it. Any bottle containing a
medicine or drug of any sort, poisonous
or otherwise, should be carefully labeled
and II the contents are poisonous II should
be placed we'll out of the reach Of children
and such precautions taken that mistakes
cannot be made in the dark even by adults
Accidents like those referred to will con-
tinue to occur just as long as people fail to
realize that carelessness in such a matter
is nothing short Of crime.

The GoebeI Law Again.

The kentucky legislature meets In extra
ordinary session today at the call OF the
governor to consider the question or an
election law. The democrats are in the ma
jority in both branches. but there Is al
vision of opinion among them as TO what
should be done and this may result In a
deadlock and no action at all.
1t is upon the whole a curious situation.
The republicans carried the state last year
by substantial majoritfes, and their candl-
dates received certificates Of election from
the state board of "anvassers, composed
wholly OF democrats The decision. how
ever, proved unpopular with the Goepehtes'
and two of the three members of the board
resigned. The remaining member filled the
two vacancies, and selected two men Who
like himself would. upon the appeal from
the decision of the old board, reverse that
decision and give the offices to the demo-
Gratis The appeal was taken. and the leg
islature to which the cases of the governor
and lieutenant governor were referred.
cooked up irregularly a decision in favor
of the democratic contestants, while the
newly constructed election board, to which
the other cases from secretary of state
down were referred, followed with like par
tisan action.
Such palpable scoundrelism under the
forms or law caused intense mulSndtIOE
throughout the state. and it has grown SO
steadily that the GOebelites, threatened
with the loss of the state again in Novem-
Der, propose now such modification of the
GoebeI election law as, if possible, will heal
the division in the democratic party. They
are coquetting in a soothing way with those
democrats who are opposed to theft as a
political agency. But while doing this they
still hold the offices which they obtained by
theft.
William GOebel, the author of the law
which has brought such shame upon his
party and such to the state, was
proud of his work, and defended the law
on the stump last year with all the bold
ness and energy of his vehement nature
He declared over and over again that if
elected governor he would veto any bill
that any legislature might pass having for
its object the amending repeal of the
election law bearing his name. And yet,
with the first summers grass still green
upon Mr. Goebel's grave, here is his
"fence"-fOr MIR. Beckham received the
stolen governOrship frCr1 the hands of the

Cuban Sentiment.

We have heard so many con cling
stories of the sentiments entertained in
Cuba toward the United States that 1t is
refreshing to find d Cuban newspaper that
expresses in the most enthusiastic phrases
its appreciation of what this country has
done for the Gem of the Antilles. FL Vuel-
tabajero OF Pinar del Rio in a recent edition
speaks OF the deep regret of the people of
that town a. the departure OF the Ameri-
can troops, and refers to them as brothers.
and even more. 1t says that the gratitude
entertained for Uncle Sans soldiers, in
stead of decreasing, is every day growing
stronger and more hearty.
The editorial is a long one. 1t points out
that throughout all her troubles Cuba has
found the United States her best friend, and
gives to this country the credit for all her
general culture, her progress in all direc-
tions and her great and noble aspirations
for liberty. Our Intervention in 1885, it
says, insured the independence of Cuba and
saved the lives of half million reconcen-
trados who would have died of hunger
while in the conference held al Paris we
accepted the risk of going TO war again by
preventing Spain from shouldering on Cuba
a debt of billion of dollars which had
been growing for thirty years To the
separation Of the church from the state
the suppression of stamped paper and GER
tificates Of personal residence, the annuI-
ment Of past-due taxes, the reductionSto
one-half Of all imposts, the establishing of
primary instruction, of which Cuba had no
previous knowledge. the organizing Of the
administration of justice and the finance
department, the debating of just and far
seeing la~ and the PRONUNCIATION Of new
plans of study.
FL Nueltabajero pays a high tribute to
Americans in their official and personal re-
Iauons toward the people of Cuba and saws
That we have taught them the PRINCIPLES of
government without tyranny, and to adj
minister II with an economy and honesty of
which they had had no previous idea The
editor does not believe that we have the
ultimate annexation Of the island in view,
and in conclusion he says:
Let good fortune continue to favor such
a great people, the only one who contrib
u,ed TO our freedom, is the vote and wish
OF the true Cubans."
The Havana Post prints a full translation
OF the editorial, and says that it uoes 50
with pleasure, as showing that not in all
Cuban hearts has malicious enmity toward
their savior and friend taken the place of
a tyranniCal master"
Commenting upon the editorial, the Post
says:
lei Fueltabajero presents a very readable
summary OF old conditions and Just pre-
sentaton or the new. Its reflections and
conclusions are commended to the careful
study OF the cafe politicians and street cnrh
newspapers of Havana, whose sole aim
seems 10 be 10 try to stir up contention and
strife and 10 stultify the interests of both
peoples mat their own miserable desires as
centavO-getting vultures NAV be satfated
at the expense Of Cuba's happiness and
governmental success"
The Havana Post seems to have a pretty
good grasp of the subject, and further com
ment would be superfuous

Mr. Bryan in His New Role.

published interview with prominent
gold democrat of Omaha closes as follows:
Has Bryan gained anything by his In
dianapolis speech?"
Yes"
"What?'
"A reputation for insncerity."
This observation is borne out by many
references to Mr. Bryan since his Indian
apolis deliverance. A number of promi-
nent newspapers east and west, which,
until then, although differing radically
with him on public questions had always
pronounced unquaifiedly in favor of his
candor and his courage, have since the
Indianapolis speech revised somewhat their
estimate of the man. He no longer ap-
pears to them leader of the most I'M
Hinching earnestness and directness, but
as one capable of shuffies and shifts, and
far more anxious to be President than to
be right They regard him now as being
more an apt coner of phrases and DO
litical poseur than man willing to stand
or fall by his convictions.
When the Kansas City convention ad-
journed the Bryan of the campaign of 1896
seemed still before the people. The con-
venton. under David B. Hills influence
had shown a disposition to slur silver but
Mr.. Bryan had defeated the effort He
had forced silver into the platform at the
point of the bayonet so to speak So far
as his influence was concerned he had
made silver again the paramount issue in
the face of the fact that many of his lieu
tenants in the fight four years ago had
grown cold toward silver. But at Indian
apolis he abandoned the supremacy he
had asserted at Kansas City, and raised
the cry Of imperialism.
1t is impossible to accept Mr.. Bryan with
full respect as the champion of the Declar-
alton of Independence and the defender of
the Constitution. With regard to the one,
he well understands that the great ma
jority Of those who are supporting him
deny by their acts that. even in political
sense. all men are created free and equal,
and that the consent of the governed is
essential, or ought to be, in the establish
ment of a government. And with regard
to the other, he must as clearly know that
the Constitution is accepted in the lower
southern states, which the basis of his
power, only to the extent that 1t does not
Interfere with their schemes for local gov
eminent. In any clash between those
schemes and the Constitution the latter
goes down.
As the champion of silver, Mr.. Bryan had
invited and received the respect of the
country for perfect sincerity in the pur-
suit Of power But the man who In his
preachings rebukes and rejects the princi-
pies from the exercise of which in his
favor he expects to profit cannot in his
new role hope for such success.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-08-28
was printed in The Star yesterday. but de-
serves to be REPRINTED. 1t is as follows:

Washington is the most attractive city
! for residence In the United States. This
| largely explains the steady and substantial
| increase of its population, which is larger
| than census reports because enumeratfon
was made when thousands of people were
away. Washington has the best municipal
government in this country-no bosses, no
rings, scandals, a low tax rate. hne
school, fire and police systems, broad.
shaded. well-lighted and well-swept streets,
numerous parks, excellent street and steam
railway facilities. AS the national capital
1t draws people from all over the world,
and has unusual proportion of refined
and cultivated residents and Of beautiful
homes"
Mr.. Macfarland writes whereof he knows.
While the manufacturing and business in
terests of Washington are considerable and
increasing steadily, 1t is yet a place of
delightful residence that the city is and
should be best known. 1t is this feature that
has attracted in recent years so many fam
lilies of wealth and standing and has led
them to come here and build themselves
handsome homes. AS place of residence
for retired business or professional men no
other city in the United States can boast
as many advantages can Washington.
Cities like Chicago. Pittsburg and Cieve-
land, for example, offer better opportunities
for the amassing of large fortunes. but the
social side of such cities is not to be COM
pared with the charms of the national cap
ital. More and more it has come to be the
winter home of people who are in a posi-
ton to look about them and are free to
elect where they shall erect their house
hold gods. The scientific branches of the
government have served to bring together
large circie of brany and educated peo-
pie which has been the nucleus for large
and increasing group of students, while the
unequaled opportunities for research pre-
sented by the Library of Congress and
other government collections are appre-
ciated by literary men from all parts of the
country.
There is no other city in the United
States where a man may be so sure of
finding himself in congenial society. Should
he seek what New York calls society" 1t
is here,-not in August, perhaps, but then
he would expect to spend the summer
months at Newport or in Europe. If he be
a man of scientific tastes and attachments
he will find himself in a congenial atmos-
phere, and if literary man, engaged upon
himself among his kind. And so it goes
through all the ranks and callings of life;
no man need feel alone. To the man of Gull
tured tastes, representative of the most de-
sirable type Of American citizen, there is
no city that can compare with Washington.
