more than Justified it's conception. 1t has
perhaps not leavened the lump of London
soddenness. but 1t has prepared conditions
for other reformars. and its ultimate effect
is yet to be measured. The problems to
be solved in the London slums are meal
cuiably worse than in the average Ameri-
can city. The degradation of the lower
classes is astonishing to the original in
vestigator and this despite continuous eff
forts on the part of charitable and reli-
gious workers to relieve the physical and
moral sufferings of the Stun inhabitants.
The years of this sort of labor have
wrought comparatively little change. The
Pleasure Palace was a tangible token of
the interest of the upper classes in the
condition of the poor. 1t induced deeency
without demoralizing the sense of self-heip.
l. afforded cleanly amusement without con-
veyirfg the notion of a gift. 1t has pros
pered and therein is seen it's justification.
Besant's name a writer may be forgot

work as a practical sociological investi-
gator has been placed upon a stable foun-
dation.

weather. which in the proclamation is
styled a deIusion. Although the unscien-
tific weather observers have been advanced
and educated during the past few years
through the help of the weather bureau.
it is too much to expect that all faith in
the moon theory will be at once abandoned
because of this derisfve official rejection.
Only a few days ago this neighborhood
was suffering from prolonged spell of
weather" Rain had fallen almost contin-
uously for about fortnight and toward
the close of the period it was common to
hear on every side, when the weather was
mentioned. that there would be no change
until the moon changed. The moon
instant. and it is a fact that no rain has
fallen locally, save during Thursday night
and on Friday morning. since the change
occurred. This may be no more than a
coincidence. but such condolences st rengthen
the popular belief in the matter. The weather
bureau has been bravely overcoming many
prejudices and its prestige was never so
high as now, owing to the fact that grad
ually the people have come to see the pos
sibilities in the way of accurate forecast
ing under highly organized system of
observation. 1t would be wise, however,
for the establishment not to run counter
too abruptly to all of the popular "delu-
sions, and to take note of the fact that
there are even yet unlearned weather-wise
folk who hold tenaciously to the efficacy of
the warning of low-fying swallows and the
pig with straw in its mouth.

Once more the pleasure boat has caused
death this season in Philadelphia. Six per-
sons crowded into a skiff large enough to
held only about three in safety, and when
the craft swamped three girls were
drowned. The list of boating accidents is
already long this year. and if the Philadel-
phia experience is a criterion, it will con-
tlnue to grow despite the warnings of the
fatalities already reported. For in that
city there had already been a shocking
warning of the folly of recklessness on
the water. There is something beyond un-
Outstanding in the manner in which men,
women and children will crowd upon boat
without thought of the danger and without
taking the least precautions to avert dis
aster. Doubtless great majority of those
who venture upon the water are unable to
swim. But it is not alone in the risk taken
by those who cannot swim that the danger
lies. There is the man who rocks the boat
the man who insists upon taking too large
party. the girl who will trail her hands
in the water. the tmid person who grows
hysterical when off shore and "rattles" the
oarsman and spreads panic among the
other passengers. All of these factors In
the boating accident are to be reckoned
with in counting The chances of safety.

In Place of Bryanfsm.

Since his retirement from Congress Col.
SreCkinridge of Kentucky has devoted his
time TO the practice of law and to editing
a daily newspaper at Lexington. He has
kept up his interest in politics. Although
he warmly opposed both Organism and Goe-
belism. openly cooperating with the repub-
licans against both. he still considers him
self a democrat, and presumably would be
glad to see his party united and victorious
again.
In some observations which appear In
print today Col. Breckenridge offers a sug-
gestion as 10 the future. The country, as
he believes, has definitely accepted both
the gold standard and expansion. and any
further appeal to the people by the democ-
racy against either would be futile. This,
in substance. repudiates the whole of Bry-
anism, and of course Mr.. Bryan along with
it. a new platform calls for a new leader.
and while Col Breckenridge names no
names as to the one, he presents an outline
as to the other.
But it is only an outline. and it will be
very difficult TO fill it out. Would 1t be
possible for either party to formulate a
hard-and-fast policy early as 1904 with
regard to our new possessions? Mere gen.
ordinations would not avail for a presiden-
tial campaign. Neither party would think
of proposing to make states out of Porto
Rico and she Philippine Islands. The ques-
tiOn at best is one of territorial govern
ment of some kind, with care taken that
the interests of the states are not preju-
diced or invaded. And. as the phrase goes,
there is hardly a President In that. The
first will be for the interests of the
states. any form of territorial govern
ment for those SO lately under the harrow
of Spain would be a great Improvement
on old conditions. But, necessarily, the in
terests of the states will require the best
government possible for the new possess
vanced from time to time as the people may
show themselves capable of improving
their opportunities.
We are starting slowly with our task be-
,tuse of the many difficulties in the way.
number of these appeared at the very
outset but not all that exist. we may be
sure The Philippine problem. in particu-
lar. with its oriental setting. is one that
needs 10 be most carefully considered at
every stage. To throw it therefore into the

Sir Walter Besant.

He accomplished one great achievement for
the amelioration OF the poor of London.

The United States weather bureau has

bombardment of the clouds by mortar fire
prevents hail storms. belief which obtains
To marked degree in certain portions of
southern Europe. In official proclama-
ton just issued this practice is derided as
the result Of superstition, fostered by the
manufacturers OF mOrtars for this partic-
uiar style of pyrotechnics. 1t is pointed out
that Yet positive evidence has been
addUCed that the dispatching of vortex

dispel hail storms. although the bulletin
does not go so far as to assert positively
that hail storms have actually occurred in

The Pre.ident.. Statement.

President McKinley's prompt and pointed
statement on the third-term suggestion eff
fectually settles the question far as he
Is concerned. There is no equivocation, no
condition. The President regrets that the
suggestion has been preached and doubts
whether he Is called upon to give it no
tice. But in order to prevent any pos
sibIe misunderstanding. he deems it to the
public interest to state his conviction
against the third term and to announce
formally that he is not and will not be a
candidate for reelection and would not
accept a nomination If it were rendered
him
There was, as the President suggests.
some reasonable doubt whether it was
necessary for him to take cognizance of the
irresponsible gossip and suggestions of this
character. Those who know William Nc
Kinley personally aid those who have stud
led his career needed no assurance that
the third-term talk lacked his authority
and that it failed utterly to reflect his
wishes or his ambitions. But there were
reasons to justify if not to require a dis
tinct reputation Silence, while dignified
and permissible. might lead to doubts and
perhaps to difficulties. 1t is of recent rec
ord that a President failed to admit the
his confidence in this regard and during
his second term of office caused an annoy
ing uncertainty among the party leaders
and workers as TO his wishes. which re-
suited in an injury-working confusion in
the party's councils.
The Presidents statement itself is char
acteristic. Ii cells volumes in it's five
sentences. The President expresses in
words which will live the highest am
bition which any American can entertain,
to become President of the republic. to be
hOnored by second term in expression of
the peoples appreciation and approval, and
then to step aside into the ranks and to
continue the performance of a citizens
duty in private life.
When he has rounded out an administra-
tion which will Ue notable in the repub-
lies annals President Mckinley aspires to
become not an emperor of the old-world
conventional type with crown and throne
and despotic power, but one of the Ameri-
can sOvereigns. the people. to whom even
Presidents are but public servants.

Canada disappointed.
From the Kansas City Star.

The Canadians are disappointed because
the new census does rot give the domin-
ion a population Of 6,0000O0 instead of
$500. 900 The growth of Canada is as rapid
as could be expected when it is remem-
bered how many of it's people move to this
country every year. 1t still has less cause
for complaint on this account than Ireland
which has been unable to even hold it's own
much less to make any gain. But If Ire
land We're as handy to the United States as
Canada it would soon be as free of people
as it is now of snakes.

Dynamite on the Cars,
From the Pfttsburg Dispatch.

Dynamite on The railroads has been
making itself unduly prominent of late A
quantity of it in trunk, after receiving
the usual treatment of the baggage ham
der, let go the other day; while the rail-
way fatality near Binshamton, N. Y, re-
ported elsewhere, charges most of it's fatal
consequences to dynamite loaded in one
of the cars of the colliding freight train.
The necessity for dynamite in the work
of the age is indisputable, but these oc-
currences force the question whether more
caution could not be used in it's trans
portation. Dynamite in ordinary trunks is
certainly matter ont of place and in ordi-
nary freight trains it is now shown to have
its perils. 1t is surely worthy of consdera-
ton whether, when it is shipped in large
quantities, it should not be transported by
itself and in trains so regulated as to
make collisions and explosions impossible

Consumption of Absinthe Decreasinx,
From the New York Tribune

Absinthe. the green demon of worm
wood" as it has been sometimes called.
never brought hosts of victims under it's
spell in this country as it formerly did in
European lands. Gases of patients brought
to the verge of che grave by habitual and
inordinate drinking of absinthe have never
been numerous In American hospitals. but
the doctors of the old world and the new
agree that the absinthe ''fiend" suffers as
much misery in the long run as the slave
OF opium or cocaine. There seems to be no
serious danger, however, that the pale
green drink will ever work appalling raw
ages in the United States. But it is good
news that in France change in the taxes
on wines has resulted in a remarkable de-
crease in the consumption of abs:nthe
white wines largely taking the place of
the extract of wormWood.

Hardly an event of this

If you desire slippers of

Its not an easy matter to
select your footwear for the

will not suffice for wear at
seaside and country, too. We
have made this question a
study, we advise you know

The stock at present is
