Take Care OF the Grass.

Few other cities in this country have so
much turf within the urban limits as
Washington. The grass is indeed one of
the capitals chief beauties. 1t softens the
harsh lines of the residence streets, else
where usually filed to the pave with
masonry. 1t carpets the parks, and even
In some more favored localities it breaks
the stretch of pavement by interposing
itself between sidewalk and street. Many
hundreds of acres are thus devoted to the
emerald growth which contributes to the
pleasure and the health of the people. All
this is true to it's utmost when the grass
is well cared for. In the proportion that
the turf Is neglected, allowed to go I'M
trimmed. or to become overgrown with
weeds. the city's beauty declines. II is to
be feared that sufficient care is not being
taken of the grass this season, especially
by the government. the largest single turf
owner and, in some respects. the least par
ticular. True. men work periodically with
scythes and machines to keep the growth
reasonably short. but something more than
mere cutting is needed to create and MAIN
tain good lawn. The grass must be
guarded from trespassers, not human. but
vegetable. The intrusive chickweed and
the hard-rooted plantain find their way too

When discussing the question of a new
platform for his party Mr.. Bryan points
t. the fact that over six million demo-
Gratis supported the Kansas City platform
last November. They did. but how many
o. them really believed in it?
The majority of the eastern democrats
supported it simply to be regular. They
didn't believe in it 1T all They regretted
its adoption Their hearts had been with
David b. Hill in his fight for modifica
ton of the Chicago platform, and, like
him. th"y simply gave in to numbers. They
went to the polls convinced that the party
VAS beaten. and not sorry that such was
the case. Their one consideration was

question of the republican party and its
responsibility for negro suffrage. The plat

issues nor the mere matter of party regu-

How many votes then, really We're

platform? Deduct the great bulk of the
eastern vote. and an equally large share
III the southern vote. and you leave only
the western and the northwestern vote
and that did not foot up six millions by
q long shot. Mr.. Bryan therefore talks
in much too cocky a strain when he
sumes that six million voters are behind
him in still further supporting the plat
form to which last year they gave their
votes. Many Of them were behind him
then with a reservation. and they are
~ager now to get behind somebody else on
q very different platform. But if he can
control the next national convention he can
control nearly all of them again. Con-

tops of these growths, and does not de-

Sad News From San FranciscO.

Yesterdays alarming bulletins as to the
condition of Mrs. Mckinley caused deep
sorrow in Washington, and spread the fear
that any hour might bring the news of
her death. Her delicate health is we'll
understood at the capital, and many feared
that she was unable to stand the strain
and fatigue of the long. trying Journey to
San Francisco and return There were
anxious hearts here when she left with
her husband. but these fears were quieted
for time by the encouraging reports of
her wonderful endurance on the trip
through the southern states. When the
collapse came it was hoped that the illness
was. only temporary, but 1t now appears
that her slender store of vitality has been
drained desperately low. The prayers of
the people go out for Mrs. Mckinley and
for the President in this time of his deep
trouble and anxiety. Among the personal
qualities which cause him to be held high
in the esteem of his fellow countrymen
none is more notable than his patient. I'M
selfish, self-sacritcing devotion to his in

JacksOnville's Need.


From the Hartford Courant.
Jacksonville Is tn real need Of help yet,
and help is not going to Jacksonville as 1t
should. Probably the explanation is that
the peoples attention has been called away
by certain extraordinary happenings since
the fire, and that they don't understand the
real urgency of the situation. The brave
people of Jacksonville are doing all they
can-doing nobly. But many of them are
impoverished: the available funds will go
but little way further. and the destitu-
ton has been only partially relieved. There
is need of clothing, of supplies and, above
all, of ready money. With that they can
pay the men who are clearing away the
ruins and the men can buy food for them
selves and their families. Food earned by
honest work Is a great deal more whole
some for the recipients and for the COM
munity than free food.

To Fight the "White Death"
I'm the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore News.
A world congress. called for the purpose
Of fighting the white DEATH will meet In
London in July. Medical skill and knowl-
edge of all schools will be brought together
with the hope of finding a means of COM
batting this most dreaded Of all diseases.
II is estimated that 60 600 persons perish
each year in the united kingdom from
tuberculosis. The United States loses 1OO-
600 persons annually from the same dis
ease: still in this respect, 1t seems the
least afflicted Of all the civilized nations.
The total number of deaths from tubercu-
losis in Europe is about 1000, 600 annually.
1t is now generally agreed that the scourge
is not hereditary, and that 1t Is possible to
prevent its spread by infection. The prob
lem before the worlds congress is to tell
how this may be done. If 1t should solve
the problem, it will prove Of inestimabIe
service to humanity.

The long heralded joint session of the
American tuberculosis Congress and the
Medico-Legal Society was opened in New
York yesterday, with a large attendance Of
delegates from all parts of this CONT
The best result of such meetings will be
to arouse popular interest in the subject
OF tuberculosis and the necessity of secur
ing laws regulating the treatment of suf-
fererS. Much good of course flows from
the consultation of specialists, the eX
change of remedies, the discussion of theo-
ries, and the general advancement thereby
OF the processes of fighting the disease
But there is a larger field to cover than the
purely pathological phase of the case.
Prejudice prevails in many quarters
against the imposing of the least reStric
lions upon the liberty and the habits of
persons afflicted with tuberculosis. This
arises in large part from the notion that
consumption Is not to be considered in
the same category as the commonly known
contagious diseases. such as yellow fever,
cholera, typhus. bubonic plague, etc. Suf-
ferers from those diseases are speedily re-
strained, while the consumptive walks the
streets, and, according to well-founded
modern Judgment, spreads abroad through
his careless habits the germs of the dis
ease. to find lodgment wherever they may
The first obstacle TOR these workers now
in session to overcome is this prejudice
against classifying consumptives with those
afflicted with the more quickly developed
contagious. Education through the news
paper and magazine press, in the schools
and in other places of public gathering will
go far toward this end. When public
opinion has once been formed that it is
the duty of the community to organize
against tuberculosis legislation will quickly
follow. Just what form the movement
should take may meanwhile be accurately
forecast through the medium of these oc-
casional consultations between physicians
and lawyers, The forthcoming London
conference will forward the good work

1t instances The Stars statement that the
platform adopted by the Ohio democrats
this year must be passed upon by MIR.
Bryan. Is not that statement true? Is
anybody better aware of the fact than Mr..
Mclean himself? Mr.. Bryan is passing
upon all platforms and all candidates. Both
as the leader of his party and as editor of
the Commoner he is entirely within his
rights in so doing. His supervision reaches
even city affairs, as Rolla Wells of St.
Louis can testify. 1t is as certain that he
will pass upon the Ohio state platform,
one way or another, that one will be
written. The Post may not know this
probably does not-but everybody else
does.
The Post says that MIR. Mclean has
never been one of Bryans followers" No?
Well, That is piece of news startling
enough almost to excuse the Posts bump
tiOusness in this matter. What was Mr.
Mclean doing through the agency of his
great newspaper in the campaigns of 1896
and last year? For answer, with particu-
lars. consult the files. To say that Mr..
Mclean was never follower of Mr.. Bryan
is to say that Mr. Bryan was never a
leader. and that. If anything. Is simply an
appeal to casuistry as against everyday
terms.
In his interview printed in The Star Mr.
Mclean. evidently annoyed by the preten-
sions OF volunteers posing as his cham
pions and intimates, remarked:
If you are going to print what am say
ing, L will be Obliged if You add what I
have said many times before, that nobody
in Ohio or elsewhere is authorized to speak
for me. There are plenty of means of di-
rect communication if 1 have anything to
say in which the public or the democratic
party would be interested.
