OF all questions asked By people WHO
have never been much out o. doom,
none seems 90 simple to the old-timsrs
- that which concerns the dangers to
which the camper may be exposed from
the attacks Of Wild beasts, ays Forest
and Stream. Il IL chiefly women and
children who ask such questions, but
II is evident that IN the brains Of many
inexperienced persons g. firmly stab-
aished q belief that Wild animals are
dangerous. that wolves. panthsrs and
beam proWl about seeking whom they
may deYour. This belief Is IN all prob
ability a survival IN part Of earlier
days, when the most civilized men
dWelt largely IN the East, where might
be encountered lions who would attack
them or hyenas ready to snap up the
stray child wandering away from the
camp, or bears Of the type encountered
BY the irreverent infants who apostro-
phized Elisha; and also IN part Of that
time when the weapons Of primitive
man were 90 feeble and of 50 little avail
against the Wild beasts that these we're
Justly TO De feared. This feeling al
ready existing Il encouraged and
strengthened BY a certain amount OF
the writing Of the day. The average
man and woman love to read a bear or
panther or wolf story not less than do
small boys and round-eyed children
listen with pleasure to the tales Of
some venerable uncle or grandfather
who relates the story Of the wolves
that used to howl about his cabin or
visit his sheep fold when first he set
tied In the country. In this land Of
America, as many know, there are no
such things as dangerous animals,
though there are creatures which may
be made dangerous. The wolf, the bear
and the cougar are far more SEx!Ous to
get away from man than man is 20 get
away from them. II given the oppor-
tunity they win always slip away and
run, and II they fight It Is because they
believe that they have been cut on
from every avenue Of escape. Where
an animal has been wounded Il II =
different matter. Then, often, eonsld-
erations Of prudence are forgotten and
the animal acts on impulse, instead OF
doing what II knows to be wise: but
even so there Is much more danger
from q wounded deer than from q
wounded panther, and vastly more
from q wounded moose. But for the
average man who IL travelling through
a new country where Wild animals may
be plenty, who stops WhepEs has made
q days march sa6c II home where

ever =, more danger from the Wild
siIhals Of the country than from the
hghtninss which blaze in the summer
sky. Many more people have been
killed BY lightning than have been run
over by stampeding buffalo herds, or
killed by unWounded grizzly bears, or
by all the other animals Of the prairie
put together. One might almost say
that more people haze been struck by
falling meteorites than have been kill
ed BY panthers or wolves. And yet
from day to day the newspapers con-
tinue to print bear stories, eatamount
stories and wolf stories, and probably
they win do 80 until long after the last

sweet or cheap crackers or cake win
be found Eweibaeh, or twice baked
bread. On account Of this thorough
baking It is easy to digest Meats used
at the children's table should prefer

unless very carefully prepared, Is apt

Governor Smith to Helm.

Governor Smiths letter to the Commits
sioners, assuring them Of his disposition to
aid them in cleansing the Maryland borders
of the District OF moral menaces Is guar
antee that something may perhaps be ac-
complished for the betterment OF the atmos-
phere of the outer edges of this juriSdic-
ton. Without the hearty cooperation OF
the Maryland authorities but little could
be done by the District to protect Itself
from the low resorts which tempt the
youth and disturb the whole community.
1t should not be difficult. however, with
land as a foundation, for the authorities
on both sides to devise means to drive out
the lawbreakers and to discourage those
who while remaining just within the law.
are nevertheless unwholesome neighbors.
A vigorous prosecution by the officials OF
Prince Georges county would soon close
the vile resorts and put a stop to the de-
moralizing practices at the points partic-
ularly under consideration. There is no
room for them in the District, and it will
be difficult for them to find a resting place
in the neighborhood If the example Of the
Governor of Maryland is followed by the
Governor of Virginia with respect to the
resorts on the western banks of the river.
The highest interests of all three commu-
mites demand a vigorous and concerted
campaign against these lawbreakers and
corrupters OF youth.

Gar and Kaiser.
From the London Chronicle.


The forthcoming meeting between the
kaiser and the czar at Dantzig, 'the Nu-
remberg of the north" had it's counterpart
exactly twenty years ago, at the same
place, when on September 8, 1881, Alex
ander III had an interview with the old
German emperor. The "cZar peacemaker'
had not been many months on the throne
and not yet crowned at Moscow-before
he sought and obtained a meeting with his
granduncle of Germany in the waters OF
Dantzig. The car was accompanied by
NJ. de Giers successor designate to Prince
Gortchakoff, while the companions Of the
kaiser included the Crown Prince and
Prince Bismarck. The conversation be-
tween the two mOnarchs turned less on in
ternational relations than on international
anarchy-the great question Of the time;
and "the Emperor Alexander" according
to the report Of the Austrian ambassador
at ST. Petersburg. returned home with an
increased feling of tranquility and inner
contentment." 1t seems probable that the
formalities of that far-away meeting will
serve as precedent for the etiquette Of the
coming interview.

The President and the People.

Senator Depew. in some observations on
the tragedy at Buffalo, is quoted as saying
ss'The natural result of this will be sefl-
ously to curtail public appearances OF fleS-
idants In the future and freedom OF inter-
course with citizens at great gatherings
like expositions. because so much depends
on a Presidents life that the risk cannot De
taken of letting lunatics, cranks and crlm-
inals have an easy opportunity or assaS-
sinating.
1t is to be hoped If this result Is produced
that it may be exceedingly short-liVed. A
President of the United States who con-
fined his public appearances 10 lie" staIe
occasions arranged with a view TO MS per-
sonal safety and spent the greater part OIL
his time in seclusion through fear OF the
people. would suffer in both his individual
and official estate. He would impair the
prestige of his office Such course would
in measure be an Indictment of the eoun-
trv. In Washington it has always been
matter of national pride to see the Presl-
dent give an hour every other day during
what is known as the official season to re-
ceiving all who had called to pay their re-
spects to him at the White House. And
equally gratifying has 1t been to see him
taking a stroll about the city, accompanied
only by a personal friend. General Grant and
General Harrison were given to this and
Mr. Mckinley has been a familiar hgure
on the streets. And why should not the
President, though less we'll known as an in
dividuaI elsewhere, be safe in every
other city In the country as in the capital
here?
1t is strange enough to read the news
from France just now. The czar will short
" arrive as the guest of the nation to wit
ness some army and navy maneuvers- The
preparations for his reception are elaborate.
AS an ally of France the head of the Rus
sian nation will be enthusiastically greet
ed But 1t is considered doubtful If he will
visit Paris. He will be within a few hours
ride of the city, but the anarchists who
rendezvous there are in threatening mood,
and there is fear of assassination. Think
OF it, This ally, who travels from dis
tance TO pay his respects to the French ma
ton, Is to be excluded from the French
capital by few scheming miscreants who
no more represent France than they do the
islands of the South sea.
The duty of the hour in France In the
United States. and wherever civilized gov
ernment exists is the same. 1t should be
made safe for the highest as for the hum
blest to go and come at pleasure. No presi-
dent. no king, no czar should be walled in
by bayOnets, or required to pick his steps
with care against murderous assault.
Against the sudden frenzy and madness
that may seize an excitable man in a crowd
no provision can easily be made. But
against men who plan murder. and applaud
murder when done, the remedy. though
heroic, is simple and justified, and it should
be applied They are the ones who should
be walled in, and not the public servants
of the people busy with the peoples busi-
ness.

The demand for the suppression of the
anarchists continues 20 swell In volume and
to Increase in pointedness From press and

In private life. comes the same proposition,
to put check upon the activities Of these
mischief makers. But how is the check to
be most effectively applied? This question
Is being answered In a great variety OF
ways. yet there is singular scarcity of
definite plans Two general schemes of
treatment are advanced. the one to sweep
all such agitators out of the country. to
be dealt with beyond our bounds as the
laws Of other lands may provide: the other
TO enact more stringent laws here both to
exclude further importations Of the reds
and to punish under our own system those
now to be found here.
The general drift at present seems
toward the former plan. based upon the
move along policy which has for years
been applied to the tramp problem in the
states. To a certain extent the presence
OF anarchists IN the United States today is
the result OF the exercise of this same pol
icy by the governments OF Europe. While
