ADipIomnt From MarxI.na.

In these days, when many hasty and
even reckless assertions are made respect
Ing politics and leading politicians, 1t Is
good to meet a man who speaks with cau-
tion. Take a case: Colonel Baughman of
Maryland was In New York on Wednesday,
and asked as to the political situation at
home. said in reply:
'"The Maryland democratic state commit
tee will meet in Baltimore on September
3. and Mr.. German, / am advised, will be
a candidate for election to the Senate
Mark the reference to Mr.. German, and
consider the man who made It. Colonel
Baughman Is one OF the leading democrats
of Maryland. and one of Mr.. Germans
closest friends. He knows, IL anybody
does. what Is going on in democratic cir
cles, and he has been particularly active
this year. He Is working for democratic
success. and expects 1t. He was a prom
inent figure at the recent state convention
at Baltimore. and since then has been busy
looking after party matters In his section
OF the state. His presence in New York the
other day was for the purpose of meeting
Mr.. German and reporting on affairs up to
date. So that when the New York reporter
tackled Colonel Baughman about Maryland
politics he tackled a man who had inforna-
tion to burn.
As to Mr.. Germans candidacy for the
Senate. that has been an open secret for
o long time. In fact his friends practically
was definitely known that q republican
would succeed him In the Senate. He was

Baths In the Public Schools.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Beginning with the next school term each
Of Boston's new public school buildings,
and there are six Of them to start with,
will be fitted up with bath rooms for the
use and improvement Of the pupils, This
is not a new experiment in the big New
England town. 1t was tried first IN the
Paul Revere building two years ago. and
the general adoption of the idea proves that
it is considered valuable adjunct to the
labor of imparting knowledge. If the child
cannot pass muster on the score Of per-
sonal cleanliness he is sent to the bath
room, and the work of education waits on
this purifying process. A clean child rs
understood to work to better advantage
than a grimy one, and he certainly is much
more fnspiriting for the teacher. 1t is be-
lieved that the soap-and-water example set
by the school teachers will prove to be
copy that the parents will soon follow. In.
this way the school bath room will be less
and less needed as the example of clean1i-
ness spreads. In time when parents and
pupils become sensitive over the doubtful
complaint of an enforced bath, the bath
room can be retired entirely from daily
use. There Is no doubt that the BATH ga
civilizer, and that soap lubricates the rails
of progress. There is no doubt too that
lack of cleanliness and general untidfness
in a pupil is very dscouraging to the
teacher and consequently injurious to the
pupils chances for advancement. Because
of all this the Boston experiment in It's
broadened field will continue to attract
widespread attention

then as he is now, and the issue in Mary
land this year is Mr.. Gormans ambition to
return to the forum where for years he was
a prominent figure. He would not-prob-
ably from recognizing the superfuousness
of such proceeding-permit the state con-
vention to instruct for him for the Senate,
but every man who is working for demo-
cratic success well understands that If
success is achieved Mr.. German will be the
chief beneficiary.
Still. when Colonel Baughman. intimate
he is with Mr.. German and with all the
details and purposes of the present cam
paign, is interrogated as to matters at
home he answers somewhat guardedly. He
does not tell the reporter, as he might have
done, and as SO many men would have
done, that Mr.. German Is candidate Tor
the Senate, but that he is advised that
Mr.. German will be candidate for the
Senate" He gives the impression of hav-
Ing received the Information in casual or
roundabout way, and as recognizing the
necessity Of repeating 1t with care. 1t Is
a nice point, made In the colonefs own
way. and in this day Of cocksureness ana
overemphasis it cannot be too highly
praised

DIR. Bryan and His Patient.

Mr.. Bryan's assertions that democracy
has been weakened cannot be denied. But
the lack of strength ought not to be at
tributed without hesitation to the abandon
ment OF the Chicago platform. Every ply
sician feels confident that his medicine
would effect a cure if persisted in; but the
patient is often the most reliable inter-
prefer OF his symptoms Free silver tonic
has been tried as a stimulant for demo-
cratic nerve, but II has not produced re-
suits. There are plenty Of remedies sug-
gested. however. although, as usual a
number of retired practitioners tremble
when they think of the mistakes the
younger men are liable to commit. 1t is
safe to say that II DR.. Bryan figures
further in the case. 1t will be only in con-
sultation.

The Church and Lynching.

The clergy. of the south are taking up
the question of lynching and treating it
with a courage that promises excellent re-
suits. Recently the Rev. Quincy Ewing,
from his pulpit in Greenville. Miss, deiv-
cred a most impressive sermon on the sub
ject. 1t is having wide circulation, and
II thoroughly deserves the many compli-
ments it is receiving. Mr.. Ewing Is ma
tive of Mississippi, and although speaking
to his own people he did not spare such as
had brought disgrace upon the common
wealth by using the rope and reviving the
use of the stake. He denounced them
roundly. and. what was still more to the
point. offered himself to the authorities TO
assist in any efforts that might be neceS-
sary to uphold the law by opposing force
to force. The deiverance was in every way
unusual. and a credit to it's authors cloth
and citizenship.
This has now been followed by a signed
article from Bishop Gailor of Tennessee,
and published in Wednesdays issue of the
Nashville American, in which the burning
of the negro in the county of Franklin in
that state is treated in the frankest terms
of denunciation. The bishop has resided
in that county for nineteen years. and is
appalled, by this exhibition of savagery on
the part of his neighbors. But he does not
hesitate to use the right words in char
acterizing the act, or to point out that the
people by yielding to their passions in this
way are striking at the very roots of civili-
Zation. He thinks we have fallen upon
such grave times, indeed, that the churches
throughout the country should address
themselves in concert to the task of nelp
ing to arouse in the public mind a proper
sense of the common danger.
1t would be an impressive spectacle, but
one full of uncomfortable suggestions, to
See the American people on their knees
praying for deliverance from the rising tide
OF barbarism among themselves, when they
are contributing hundreds of thousands of
dollars every year to the organized mis-
sions for spreading Christianity and civili
Zation among the sO-called heathens. And
yet Bishop Gailor's suggestion is timely.
The country does confront a situation so
awful at home as to make it advisable that
every agency. and especially the greatest,
should be invoked to restore the people to
a due appreciation of what the law means
and what such hideous violations of it IN
volve. The press is everywhere alive to
the subject. and the pulpit, If stirred,
would greatly aid in the work.

The Strike FaIterinE,

The steel strike begins to show signs OF
disintegration. A direct assault has been
made upon President Shaffer Of the ANAL
gamated Association in the columns Of
Pittsburg labor organ. which calls for his
impeachment for alleged mistakes and fol-
lies and acts Of mismanagement In con-
nectton with the strike. The Indictment Is
strikingly suggestive that the internal af-
fairs of the association are in bad tangle.
There has been a noticeable lack of CO.
hesion among the steel workers since the
strike was first ordered. The western
workers have shown a decided disposition
to hold aioof from the general movement,
and much bitterness has resulted from the
expulsion OF the South Chicago lodge for
its refusal to break its contracts and strike
at the command Of the national leader. The
latest report Is that the Milwaukee men,
who. after hesitating. were persuaded to

Gov. Shaw in the Field.

Congratulations to Gov. Shaw and to Sem
ator Dolliver Of Iowa. The former aspires
to the republican nomination for President
in 1904, and the latter his friend and
supporter announces the fact. This course
Is straightforward and to the point. 1t Is
violation of the rules of the game as many
politicians play the game, but 1t will appeal
to those people who believe that even as
respects the highest office in our govern
ment aspirants can well afford to make
their desires known.
When the old proposition to elect United
States senator's by a direct vote of the peo-
pie was revived a few years ago, an objec-
tion was offered that men aspiring to the
high honor Of senator would not care and
could not afford to submit their claims in
popular canvass. The question of personal
dignity was raised, and some stress was
laid on that old, dog-eared suggestion that
such an office should seek the man. AS
matter OF fact, except in very few in
stances, that office never did seek the man.
1t has nearly always been secured by we'll
laid and warmly fought campaigns The
whole of the popular election proposition
was that these campaigns should be fought
out In the open, and that thereby there
would be less opportunity for scandals and
surprises. The people are rapidly coming
to demand senatorial announcements, and
in that way interest Is being added to the
state contests.
In the matter of the presidency, while the
people do not vote directly for the candi-
dates there are men of prominence in both
parties who would be glad to see the ex-
listing plan of filing that Office discarded
for better one. They regard it as cum
bersome But before that comes the ques-
tion of selecting the candidates, and as to
that there can be little doubt that the pub
lie interests would be subserved il all the
aspirants were known In advance of the
national conventions. If campaigns for
delegates were made openly, the people
would become familiar with the whole situ
alton and the opportunities for surprises in
the nominating conventions would be ma
terially lessened. . The dark horse would
soon become extinct. and he is an animal
with which the political world can well
afford to part
Gov. Shaw aleads off. Now as soon as
possible let US hear definitely from the
other candidates or their accredited repre-
sentatives. The honor Of carrying the
standard Of either of the great parties in
presidential contest is great, and those
who aspire TO it should avow their ambi-
tion and give the people every opportunity
to consider their claims and capacities.

Mayors and Their Ambitions.
From the Kansas City World.

The mayor is heir apparent to the presi-
dency. It's the day when the ambitious are
beginning to look upon the mayoraty as
the stepping stone to the White House.
Just now there are more city executives in
the public eye than any other class. And
1t is a good indication of the growing de-
mocracy Of the American people. Cleve-
land was a mayor Of Buffalo and found In
that position his greatest stepping stone to
the exalted position he afterwards occu-
pied. Since his accession to greatness may
ors have become important factors in ma
tlonal politics. Pingree was brought into
prominence more as Mayor of Detroit than
as Governor of Michigan Even now Harri-
son Of Chicago and Taggart of indianapolis

timber. while score Of others have their
eyes on governorships or places in Com
gress, the usual routes to the highest

Cleveland claimed the fish as his CATCH

so common that this new rivalry for the
