BAD BRIDGE MANAGEMENT.

The engineers appointed by District Attorney
Philbin To examine into the condition of the
Brooklyn Bridge have made their report Its
text has not yet been published, but enough has
been given out TO show that the Tammany man.
aGement has not been justified in its assurances
that everything was all right and that the re-
cent break was matter of no consequence.
They say:
We believe the present margin of safety to be
so small that the necessity for repairs is very
urgent. We have suggested means by which
the factor OF safety can be increased, without
materially interfering with traffic. at COM
paratively small cost
This is an instructive commentary on the
statements of Bridge Commissioner Shea and
his engineer Probasco. and should arouse the
people of this city to demand an immediate re-
form in the bridge management and the speedy
repair of the structure. not 10 conform to the
ignorant and disingenuous Probascos standard
of safety, but to that of really competent and
trustworthy engineers whose word can be relied
upon. The District Attorney ought also 10 let
the people know not only what the experts say
to the safety of the bridge for the traffic
upon it, but also what they say concerning the
care given TO the structure by its present Gus
todians. If they have failed TO inspect ii with
due diligence II 1t has been allowed TO rust and
deteriorate. If paint has not been properly ap-
Piled if careless officials have winked nj the
daily violation of the rule for spacing cars. the
people have a right to know it. If neglect has
been such that ii can be criminally punished. IL
should be. If there has been other neglect

grand jury, the citizens should learn OF II and he

RJSHOP UHIPPLE.

Bishop Henry B. Whipple. of Minnesota. who
died Yesterday ranked easily among the great
est bishops of the American churcn Ihough
man Of wide learning and Drlillant ACCOM-
plishments he was far better known as plo-
neer missionary in the West, and especially for
his work in civilizing and Chrishanizins the
Indians He did much by his teaching ana ex-
ample TO counteract the maxim so frequently
repeated in the West that the only good Indian
is a dead Indian. 1t no freak or fad that
thus induced Bishop Whipple TO become the
apostle of the red man. but a fervent and sin
cere belief ip the brotherhood of man, ire
spective of race or C1or. This idea of COM
mon brotherhood was to him fundamental, and
was the inspiration of his career, whether as
n citizen or churchman. He loved men as men.
and ever strove to break down the barriers of
ignorance or race prejudice that prevented them
from understanding each other. For this reason
Bishop Whppe was never identified with any
of the schools of thought in his Church, and
was ever ready to recognize as true CHRISTIANS
those outside of his own communion who tried
to follow the teachings of the Master.
Although Bishop Whipple was the antithesis
of the typical preate in taste, appearance ana
environment. it is an interesting fact that
no American bishop was more appreciated or
honored in England. Simple democrat as he
was without any of the trappings of his high
office. he was showered with courtesles when
ever he visited the old country. and was often
asked TO preach on some great OCCASION IN
deed Americans were often surprised at the
popularity of this pioneer missionary Bishop
But there was no mystery in the matter. 1t
was tribute paid to his manhood, sincerity
and zeal His wise counsels will be much
missed in the Episcopal General Convention
that meets in San Francisco next month.

STRONG POPULAR SUPPORT.

Roosevelt has demonstrated that he has a strong
hold upon popular esteem and affection. and there
is no reason TO fear any lack of public support. He
has been efficient faithful and fearless in the dis
charge of every duty allotted 10 him. He has made
some enemies, perhaps, but the man who has

The newspapers which did not sympa-
thize with Mrs. Nation in her saloon
smashing crusade were quite severely
criticised by many good people who are
earnest workers for prohibition. No doubt
they believed that Mrs. Nation was a
true reformer, and was doing a great
work The newspapers, however, that
condemned the woman's violence were
sure that more harm than good comes
from such efforts to bring about reform,
and refused to uphold her.
1t turns out just about as they ex-
pected. A dispatch from Wichita, Kan,
sent out on Monday last. stated that
Mrs. Nation was violently insane, in
cell in that city, though it was thought
she was not hopelessly so. 1t was stated
that she had to be tied in her cell to
prevent her from injuring herself
Yesterday, a dispatch from Marion, Ind,
stated that David Nation, the husband
of the saloon smasher, had been robbed
in saloon in that city of SIS in money
and some jewelry 1t seems that the
festive David had been to a circus. ana
afterwards took in" saloon. It is proba-
bic that the circus lemonade was not
satisfying. Mr.. Nation was the chief
supporter of his wife in her crusade
against saloons.
1t is a safe prediction that Mrs. Nation
will not smash any more saloons. Her
career in that direction is over She will
be fortunate if she does not spend the
remainder of her days in an asylum for
the insane. Indeed, it is not at all i'm
probable that she was insane during the
time she was raiding saloons. The sug-
gestion was made at that time that she
was not in her right mind. Those who
applauded her refused to believe that she
was not genuine reformer who had been
selected by Providence to do a great
work.
And what has she accomplished? Alb
solutely nothing. The saloons she closed
will soon all be open again, if, in fact,
they are not already open. The only way
to put down the liquor traffic is to edu-
cate the people against the drinking of
strong liquors. That is being done grad
ually. Violent methods accomplish no
permanent good.

II was rough on the musicians, says the
Louisville Times. AT one time there was
a sort of amateur musical organization
here which was often heard in public
The members had lots of girl friends and
were constantly in demand on various
festival occasions. To the truly enthusiasts
tic lover of music their efforts were in
deed efforts, for time, precision, shading,
everything was sacrificed to loudness.
They We're going to be heard if they sang
off the tops of their heads. Some unkind
sinner once said they sounded exactly like
the wooden mills up on Green street. Now
1t happened that one evening a good wo-
man gave sort of church strawberry
festival or something at her home, and she
got the club TO furnish abe music. Just
before the guests arrived a Louisville
professor of music dropped in and was
shown over the rooms by the kindly host
ess. Here" she said, pointing to bow
or of greenery in the hail. 'the musicians
will be. The young men of the Blank
Club are going to play. Don't you think
1t good idea 20 have them concealed be-
hind these potted plants?'
AN excellent and kindly one, madam"
replied the professor. II would not only
have these potted plants, but a barbed
wire fence, too"
When the joke got out il simply killed
the club, and you would have to put
blinkers on them to get them past a pot
ted plant.

In certain North Dakota town there
are two physicians, one elderly with a
long record of cures; the other young,
with his record still to make. The Older
doctor was inclined to surrender some of
his night work to the younger man. An
exchange cites an instance in which this
turning over" was attempted.
One night Dr. B. was reused by two
farmers from a hamlet ten miles away,
the wife of one of whom was seriously
i'll. He told them to go to the other doc
tor, but they refused, saying that they
preferred his services.
VERY WELL" replied Dr. B., thinking TO
put convincing argument before them
lin that case my fee is $40, the money to
be maid now"
The men demonstrated but the doctor
was obdurate and shut down his window
He waited, however, to hear what they
would say.
"Wen what shall we do now?" asked
the farmer whose wife was ill.
The reply must have been as gratifying
as it was amusing to the listening doc
tor. 1t was:
Il think you had better give 1t. The
funeral would cost you more"

Social Way. in Kansas.

At a recent dinner party in Atchison,
says the Atchison Globe, a negro who
formerly worked as a passenger brake
man was employed to call out the differ
ent spoons and forks to use. When the
oyster cocktails were served, the darky
appeared at the pantry door, and said in
a voice he formerly used in calling out
stations: Use the small harpoon looking
fork to the right" When the biscuits
were brought in, the man. said: Every
body look out now: use butter knife di-
rectly in front of your plate; not on the
side. Don't put your dinner knife in the
butter pate" When the scalloped fish
came on, the brakeman said: Here Is
where the best of them usually fall down.
Use the silver affair in front of your
plate; it is a cross between a fork and
spoon, and looks like a scoop shovel with
one corner bent" And so on with the
various forks and spoons until the end. II
was a good idea even the men got
through without trouble.
