The Folly Of Suicide.

Two suicides have just occurred which
particularly illustrate the folly Of this step.
In one instance a young woman acct
dentally broke a mirror while dressing In
the morning. She ct once declared 1t to be
a sign that somebody in the house would
die before night. Argument failed to shake
her belief and the thought preyed upon her
mind until. just at dusk, she proceeded to
Justify the omen by herself swallowing
poison, which killed her. In the other case
a young woman, piqued because her sister
would not play a game Of cards. took a
dose of acid, from the effects Of which she
died.
Both of these suicides were doubtless the
result Of overwrought nerves. They may be
accredited indeed to fits of momentary In
sanity In the first case it is not difficult
to see how superstition, If sincerely har-
bored, would work upon a weak mind ard
cause an impulse similar to that which so
often leads to deeds of violence upon others.
The anger Of the girl who took her own lie
because her sister would not play at cards
with her was perhaps only the elimination
is often disastrous in its effects upon the
mind. The young woman perhaps thought
herself neglected and ill-treated.
These two cases give warning Of the peril
of permitting deadly agencies to be easily
procured. Poisons can be bought by prac-
tically any child at a drug store. When
kept In the house for medicinal purposes
they are often allowed to remain within
reach Of ALL without the least precaution
to prevent mistakes. With such agencies

Rowing on the Potomac.

1t Is to be hoped that the efforts Of the
local oarsmen to secure the selection OF
Washington for national regatta next
year will prove successful. Last summers
local regatta, participated In by oarsmen
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, restored confidence in the Potomac
course in aquatic circles and directed atten-
ton anew to the advantages of this city for
such a purpose. A national regatta, held
under proper auspices, would serve to slim
ulate rowing in this vicinity, and perhaps
lead to the organization of additional crews
or even of clubs. There is probably pro-
portonately more available material here
among the young men In departmental life
with sufficient means and leisure to permit
attention to aquatics than in any other city
In the country, and 1t Is not to be doubted
that with proper encouragement it might be
assembled to form rowing contingent sec
ond to none In the amateur ranks. 1t mas
been proposed that feeders for the adult
organizations be formed among the high
schools and other preparatory institutions
Of the District, which contain several hum
dred lads of good physique and athletic am
billions. The excellence of the local course
Is always a temptation to the formation Of
crews and doubtless under the right direc-
tion two Fights could be assembled out of
the high schools and perhaps another out
OF the private schools among boys of the
same age. Such crews would be of great
service in raising the adult standard fur
nishing trained candidates for the boats of
the mems clubs In laterIyears and spreading
the interest in this excellent sport among a
large number of people.

The Union Station Equation.

In the preliminaries leading to the con-
ference on the union station bill, to be held
after the holiday recess of Congress. some
changes are being proposed which have an
interesting bearing on the case. The rail-
road companies, it is reported. agree to
practically all the amendments of the
House to the Senate bill except that which
reduces the bonus to be paid to them by
half a million each. 1t was not expected
that they would at once accept this reduc-
tion, so that their present attitude Is by no
means surprising But 1t Is rather q sur
prise to learn that they intimate an inten-
ton, II this reduction OF the bonus is in
sisted upon by Congress. to apply for a de-
crease of the cost Of the station building
Heretofore the railroads have stoutly re-
sisted the argument that the bonus to be
paid to them by the District and the gov
eminent could be considered as the public's
contribution to the cost of the union sta
son. The proposal by the railroads to re-
uce the cost of the station by precisely the
mount of the proposed reduction in the
a0nus, coming Immediately upon the action
I the House In so reducing the bonus is
ggestive of balancing of the account.
'dicating that whatever the railroads may

Us regards the reduction in the bonus it
T. there are good reasons behind the &C
n of the House outside of the plaza pro-
acsal. The 81 500 600 originally proposed to
lie paid to the Baltimore and Ohio was
based upon the plan to carry the viaduct
as far south as street. The selection Of
Massachusetts, avenue reduced this dis
lance by more than 200 feet, and a cor
responding reduction in the sum to be paid
to the corporation by the community was
justified and demanded. On the other side.
the bonus offered to the Pennsylvania road
by the Senate bill was supposedly In con-
sideration Of the REIMBURSEMENT Of its privi-
lsses on the public lands. No attempt was
made to estimate the money value of the
lands OF which the occupation had been
permitted. 1t must be believed that the
bonus carried by the Senate bill was
placed at $1.50OO00 merely because that

Texas and Judge Parker.

The Texas democrats, we are told, are
turning toward Judge Parker Of New York.
They appeared to hesitate for a time as to
another try with Mr.. Bryan. He had made
two such gallant races, and was withal so
attractive a man, that the suggestion of a
third nomination was not easily put aside.
But finally 1t was agreed that new leader
was necessary, and Mr.. Germans name
met with favor. Senator Bailey paid high
compliment to Mr.. German, and the senti-
ment was generally echoed in the Lone Star
state. A little longer reflection, however,
has served, 1t Is stated. to depress German
stock. and the boom in Texas now is for
Judge Parker.
There are two things which at present
contribute to this Parker boom. demand
Is made in some quarters for a new leader
who is not identified with the bitterness of
the democracy's recent wranglings. A good.
safe man, New Yorker and Judge pre-
ferred, without political record except as
respects loyalty at all times to the party's
nominees, would, 1t is insisted. unite the
party and in addition attract Independent
voters This fits Judge Parker, who, while
not subscribing to the declarations of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms yet
supported Mr.. Bryan in both Of his races
judge and his ability is conceded even by
his political opponents.
Then we have that oft-repeated declara-
ton that had Judge Parker been nominated
for governor Of New York instead of Bird
s. Coler the democrats last month would
have swept the state. This, 1t is true, is
only matter of assertion, but 1t is made
with such vehemence that 1t invariably
commands attention. Certain it Is that
popular sentiment favored Judge Parker
that the nomination of Mr.. Coler developed
many antagonists, that the old foes of
David B. Hill, charging him first with
keeping Judge Parker out Of the race, and
then with putting Mr.. Coler forward for
purely selfish purposes, scratched the ticket
at the polls.
Here, then, as his boomers and admirers
see him, is the man above all others for
1904. Personally popular and respected,
politically without a flaw in his record, a
resident Of the state which the democrats
must carry in order to win, Judge Parker
looms large on the horizon. STILL there Is
David B. Hill, and. to borrow Mr.. Hills
own pun. he is not so very still. either.

for the Baltimore and Ohio had been so
placed in the legislation Of 1901. II there
were good grounds for reducing the latter
the Pennsylvania bonus, palpably an APP
proxima tion should go down as well.
Plans are being considered for a change
in the project which will result in saving
to the community through a reduction In
the cost Of preparing the playa In front
of the station. This matter should be re-
garded as distinct from any bearing the
bonus may have upon the cost of the ter
minal. 1t is proper that the cost Of the
preparation Of the site to the District and
the government should be brought to the
lowest possible point. In measure. this
plaza will contribute to the beauty Of the
terminal. 1t will be the railroad companies
front yard. Furthermore, much of the cost
laid upon the community is caused by the
character of the railroad plans themselves
The great fill at Massachusetts, avenue Is
designed to permit height which will best
accommodate the southern tunnel and ad-
just that connection to the elevated tracks
from the north. 1t is to be feared that the
original estimate of the cost of this work
was much too low, and therefore any mod1-
fication which will reduce the local expense
without prohibiting an ideal terminal ar
rangement is to be welcomed.
The House should and doubtless will insist
upon the bonus reduction. The plaza cost
should be decreased to a minimum without
increasing the bonus to be paid to the
roads. The question of lowering Of the
minimum of station cost lies largely be-
tween the government and the railroads.
The monumental station building is in a
certain sense part of the great project of
national capital development. Some reduc-
ton of its four-million stipulated cost, If
found reasonable, might not materially les
sen the external beauty of the station build
ing or render 1t much less satisfactory as
a. convenient railroad terminal. The rail-
roads themselves as well as the nation
would be sufferers from parsimonious
policy in the treatment Of this conspicu-
Gus structure.

The Cuban Treaty.

The full text Of the Cuban treaty shows
an instrument well worthy Of prompt rati-
fication by the Senate, and Of the enact
ment Of the necessary legislation by the
two houses OF Congress to put 1t into OPP
Grafton. There ought not to be any further
delay about the matter. No American In
terests will suffer, but all will benefit, as
the result of an arrangement calculated to
bring the United States and Cuba into
closer commercial relations. 1t Is no time
for maneuvering by annexationists in either
country Nothing seems likeler than that
in time Cuba will become American terri
tory but that time cannot be hastened, and
1t might be delayed, by ill-advised attempts
to force the issue. One thing at a time, and
the fair and the open thing every time. 1t
Is the treaty that is now in order.

Colored Labor and the Tropics.

II Thomas Fortune a colored man of ed
ucation and of some influence with his peo-
pie in the United States. has gone abroad
as a special labor commissioner to investi-
gate conditions In the Hawaiian and the
Philippine Islands as they may be promis-
ing for the introduction of colored labor
from this country. From Honolulu comes
this brief interview with Mr.. Fortune:
al believe the Importation of negroes
here forms a natural solution of the diff
Guilty which unavoidably follows the alb
sorption of tropical or semi-tropical coun-
tries by the United States. In the southern
states and in the Carolinas the negro made
the industries what they are
1.-THE commissioner said that there might
be difficulty in OBTAINING the negro, but he
thought that the planters could get all they
wanted If they sent the right sort Of agents
after them.
he said
1t may be very well to inform the intelli-
gent colored people who are anxious to i'm
prove their condition just what the situa-
ton is in our outlying possessions as re-
spects labor and wages and everything
bearing upon those two important matters.
They are of course free to come and go
as their white fellow citizens They should
be encouraged to make all the progress pos
sible. and to better their fortunes in every
legitimate way.
But it is much to be doubted IL they would
benefit by any plan for colonizing them in
any quarter of the world. The Idea is fan
tastic In some quarters 1t is based upon
desire not to aid the colored people, but
simply to get rid of them. The feeling Is
that the country would be better off with
out them. In other quarters 1t Is based
upon a desire to injure the white people.
The feeling Is that the south would go to
waste without the labor of the colored peo-
pie in her fields. and that she richly de-
serves such a fate for her treatment of
them in the matter of their civil rights In
neither case are the colored peoples real
interests considered.
The best friends Of the colored people can
we'll afford to say to them. Beware of the
colonization scheme. Labor Is needed in
Hawaii in the Philippines. and in Porto
Rico but labor Is needed also in the United
States and in no part of the globe Is labor
so we'll remunerated as right here where
the colored people are at home, and where.
despite many hardships, they have stronger
ties than they could ever hope to form any
where else Thrift and industry and good
character count for more and more every
year in the circles of the colored peoples
activity, and no pictures of a forty -acres-
and-a-mue" paradise in the tropics should
confuse or disturb them for a moment.

Something Wrong.
From the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is something wrong. and appar-
entity unnecessarily wrong with the coal
situation Coal has been coming to the
city in fair quantities for some weeks past.
The void left by the strike has not been
filed, but it has been reduced. There has
been no rise in the price Of coal at the
mines or in the cost of transportation to
the consumer.
But in spite Of these facts the price of
coal has been raised abnormally in this
city and elsewhere, and strenuous cry OF
scarcity and of an inability to get coal is
being raised by many retail dealers.

Unfair.
From the Springfield Republican.

Following the declaration of dividends ag-
gregating As per cent for the year. and fol-
lowing a gift of 100000 from Mr.. Rookie
Teller to the Chicago University, comes a
further advance in the price of kerosene
oil of no less than a cent gallon. making
a total advance of two cents since Septem-
Der. This is mean performance which no
end of gifts to DR.. Harper's Chicago insti-
tuition can excuse-taking advantage Of the
stress of the people who, in the scarcity Of
COAL are obliged to resort to such substi-
tutes as Oil to keep warm If the Standard
Oil Trust were a poor corporation strug-
Cling to earn no more than per cent on an
honest capitalization it's conduct would be
viewed with more leniency. But when it
raises prices which had sufficed to yield as
per cent on a watered capital, the popular
sense Of decency and fairness Is outraged.
