The 600 Yaqui prisoners recently
taken from the Yaqui country to Man

Those Deadly Wires.

1t Is to be feared that the coroners jury
in the electrocution case did not fully meet
its opportunity and duty today when it
contented itself with holding that the cleo
trio lighting company was highly culpable
in not shutting off the electric current from
the premises when the service was uIscon-
tinued. II matters but little to the victims
of such accidents whether the electric cur
rent flowing through exposed wires is be-
ing utilized or not. In other words, the
accidents of Wednesday night coul-- have
occurred just as we'll if the current was
being used In the saloon as under the exist
ing circumstances. The trouble was in the
manner in which the wires We're originally
let into the premises and left exposed thus
making them deadly to the touch What
the public wants to know Is how such in
stallation is possible. under the supposedly
rigit regulations of the Commissioners
The ceroner's jury's verdict does not
adequately answer this question or lay
the founda ton for a proper action. The
Commissioners however, can institute an
inquiry on their own account.

Tint One-Term Rid.

Mr.. Bryan says he wants but one term as
President But why that, il the appraise-
ment of the situation by some of those who
are supporting him is correct?
Senator Morgan and Mr.. Watterson are
very confident that Mr.. Bryan's success
would not be followed by American surren-
der of the Philippines. We are there they
believe. to stay. Mr.. Bryan of his own mo-
ton could do nothing. and would find it inn
possible to bring Congress around to pol
icy of scuttle. He might recommend until
the cows came Home, but If those two
statesmen understand public sentiment, and
particularly sentiment In the democratic
party, there would be no favorable response
from Congress. He would simply have his
labor for his pains. therefore. far the
Philippines are concerned.
Mr.. Schurz and Mr. Cochran are equally
confident that Mr.. Bryans success would
not be followed by free silver coinage at 16
to I as an independent act by this govern
ment. The gold standard, they believe, is
here to stay. Mr.. Bryan of his own motion
could do nothing, and would find 1t impos-
sible, even with a House to assist him, to
bring the Senate around to a silver policy.
He might recommend until the cows came
home, but the republican Senate would stand
as adamant IN MS way. ire Woutd De un-
able to either bully or bribe that body.
Does Mr.. Bryan read the newspapers?
Has he the time while whirling along rail-
road routes to note the views of men like
these. and the conditions under which they
are supporting him? Has it occurred to him
that even if they are halfway right, sue
cess for him in November win mean a long,
hard fight after he takes up the reins of
government? For they will make his road
as rocky as possible. To all intents and
purposes they will be republicans on one
issue or the other from the day of his in
auguration. They will help block his game
right along. assuming, of course, that he is
entirely sincere and tries to run away from
the Philippines and put the country sill
yer basis.
One term as President therefore would
yield him little or nothing. Does he desire
simply to write his name i'm the list of Pres
idents? And would he be satisfied simply to
send in few messages to unresponsive Con-
crosses? He could not accomplish more
than to cause panic during one term. 1t
would take at least two for him TO upset
everything. the Supreme Court included.
And of course he will try for second if he
gets one term.

A famous military commander once. in

reduced to two. Mr.. Allison does not count
West Virginia among the democratic sena-
torial possibilities, perhaps by inadvertence.
But conditions in that state are reported to
be such as to gravely threaten the election
of free coinage democrat TO succeed Mr..
Elkins. This chance is increased in proper
ton that the western states named are
swept for Bryan.
1t is therefore clear that In the event of
Bryans election by a wave of popocratic
sentiment. aided by the ripples of republi-
can anti-imperialism and gold democracy,
the Senate will stand a tie on the free
coinage question. not counting the vote of
Kyle of South Dakota, who did not vote
and was impaired on the currency law. He
is consistent free silver man and may be
expected to vote for that proposition. But
should he refrain again from voting or
pairing the tie would be broken in favor of
fiee coinage by the democratic Vice Presi-
dent.
Thus every vote cast for Bryan In the
forthcoming election is vote for repudfa-
tion and panic, being vote for the repeal
OF the existing currency law and the Substf-
tuition of measure of finance the mere

Wellington at Saginaw,

The reports Of a speech delivered yester-
day at Saginaw, Mich, by Senator Yelling
ton say:
He charged that there was a secret un-
derstandfng between the administration and
England by which the ideas of republican
ism were to be strangled in the Philippines
and South Africa
Mr.. Bryan can not be proud of such an
advocate. Events frayed the "secret un-
derstanding'' issue to a worthless shred

to have appreciated the fact. Nor is his
range of vision broad enough to see that
there has never been any ''repubiicanisn'

A Free silver Senate Possible,

Those gold democrats and those radical
republican opponents of expansion who
have decided to support Bryan defend
their advocacy of the champion of free

themselves that they can thus safely play

The Dewey Arch.
From the New York Tribune.

The consenting voice which signifies that
the naval arch must go takes on the en-
phasis Of rams horns. The arch has grown
dirty and is particularly shabby about the
feet so proudly planted only few moons
ago. The prospect Of its reproduction In
more solid form somewhere else does not
improve with the wasting away Of the
glories OF the original. The idea may be
given up, and the glittering and grandiose
structure Of triumph subsist only in men,
ory, photographs and designs. 1t was a
thing Of beauty, and might have been a
joy forever IL the subscriptions had come
In little more literally. Its coming and

Arbitrate,
From the New York Herald.

There is strong and growing popular
sentiment that the great coal strike can
and should be settled by arbitration.
This is not asking either side to yield to
the other. or that either sacrifice it's rights
or interests. 1t is simply expecting both to
show reason and moderation by agreeing
to settlement of their differences which
will be just and fair to all concerned and
avert the ruinous consequences of an OBJ
stinate conflict.
If the struggle is prolonged there Is nc
telling how disastrous it's effects may be in
money losses, business decentralization, suf-
fering. misery and possible, IL not probable
lawlessness. To the immediate parties such
conflict is simply suicidal. To the people
at large 1t may prove a common calamity
AS a vitality interested party the public
has right to demand that it be settled by
arbitration. On the party obstinately re-
fusing to arbitrate win fall grave respon-
sibility. Already the price of coal has be-
gun to soar. This means an additional tax
on every household, manufacturing es-
tablishment. railway company and other
coal consumers. which in turn means in
dustrial disturbance and trade structure.
