The burning of Jackson City will prove
a blessing to this community If the gam
blers and disreputable characters there
gathered are driven out of that moral pest
hole. But il they only transfer their loca-
ton and set up another establishment on
the edge of the District the gain VIII not
be so pronounced. To be sure. the water
front will be cleaned of one of Its vile
nuisances and the main entrance into Vir-
ginia from the District will be made more
decent But unfortunately a tendency al
ready exists on the part of these law-break-
ers TO settle themselves down on the Con-
duit road, just out of the reach of the
local authorities. and the destruction of

to grow in size and disrepute.
The Maryland authorities find themselves
increasingly taxed to cope with the prob

In time. but makes 1t plain now that he
would not have accepted it. and that so far
as he is concerned harmony with Cleveland
ism is utterly out of the question. Is he
any more guilty Of discourtesy toward the
Tiiden Club by his letter than Mr.. Cleve-
land was by his speech?
The truth is that Mr.. Cleveland's speech
and Mr.. Bryan's letter are important con-
tributions to the political discussion of the
day. and worth a ton of stereotyped de-
liverances with only stereotyped civilties
in view. Both are strong and very earnest
men. Neither mfnces his words or dis
guises his opinions. Each has following
in the country which is very earnest and
loyal The country is interested in knowing
from time to time where these two men
stand On this occasion the Tilden Club
undertook the task of finding out. Well it
found out Mr.. Cleveland by word Of mouth
and Mr.. Bryan by letter have added to the
sum of the Tilden Clubs knowledge and to
that of the country. The next club which
undertakes to harmonic the sage of Prince
ton and the Nebraskan win probably send
out details in advance.
This New York clubman says that Mr.
Bryan is "a dead one" And yet he was
supposed to be alive when invited to that
dinner. In politics there are what may be
called degrees Of death. Mr.. Bryan may be
dead, but not dead enough to skin.

The Windward's VOYAGE.

There is high expectation in some quar-
ters that when the steamer Windward re-
turns from her journey to Greenland, on
which she Is just about to sail. she will
bring back not only Lieutenant Peary, but
the long-awaited tidngs that the north pole
has been actually reached by man. Peary
has spent number of years preparing for
his latest and probably his last attempt to
reach the pole. He began by surveying the
great island of Greenland, the northern
shore of which had never been defined.
This gave him several years of experience
In the frozen north, Injured him to it's hard
ships, taught him how to avoid it's gravest
dangers and made him expert in solving it's
problems His earlier voyages were not for
the purpose of striving for the ultima thule
Of explorers. but to widen the world
geographical knowledge. His polar purposes
may have lurked constantly in his mind
throughout that period. They became
dominant later and his recent expeditions
have been for the acknowledged object of
attaining that for which so many brave
men have lost their lives.
Lieut. Peary's latest preparations for the
polar trip were made with probably a max
imum of care and promise of success. He
awaited himself of the lessons taught by
every ldult winch na0 developed IN his
previous plans. His companions were
chosen out of a comparatively large body
of tried men. His travelling arrangements
were reduced to the simplest and most eff
fective- Under the circumsta nces, with an
assured attainment so far north as to stand
recorded among the best achievements his
chances for reaching the pole seemed In
August last. when he parted from the es-
cort expedition on the Greenland coast, to
be better than those which have ever be-
fore been faced by an Arctic voyager The
news of his success or failure cannot be
made known for several weeks. The Wind
ward party may not find him when 1t
reaches the rendezvous. The fact that he
has always turned up before of course
strengthens the chance that he will be there
this time. But the Arctic Ice Is terrible
power. It's victims are practically uncount-
ed Baffied by keen wits. brave hearts and
strong bodies in the past it may have con-
quered at last. The civilized world prays
that IL has not and sends the Windward
on her journey of rescue with hearty cheers
for her present and prospective passengers.
May she return bearing all well and bring
ing the news that at last the pole has been
rea ched and by an American

MI. Bryan to the Tilden Club.

An unnamed member Of the Ti!den Club
IS quoted follows by the New York Sun
on the subject of Mr.. Bryan's belated letter
respecting The dinner Of the club at which
Mr.. Cleveland was the most distinguished
guest:
The proper way to notice that letter is
to send the man & book on etiquette. The
all But a man invited to feast with a
invitation, which he had a perfect right to
do. thank the Lord. but he insults his hosts
by insulting one of the guests
The letter shows not only that Bryan
doesn't know good manners. but that he
will have no harmony in the democratic
party that isn't labeled Approved by Bry-
an The sooner he finds out that he's a
dead one the better 1t will be for the demo-
cratic party. Bryan belongs with the popu-
lists. and the sooner he quits mas9Uerading
the better"
This strains the point considerably Mr.
Bryan was not invited as diplomat or as
a nne gentleman, but as an eminent political
leader, with weli-known convictions and the
courage OF them. The Tiden Club, with
every right, was putting itself forward as a
harmonizer of party differences Its invita-
tons were in the nature Of "feeers" Mr.
Cleveland accepted his. attended the din

virginians Governed Without Consent

The assembling of the Virginia lesisia-
ture has brought forward again the ques-
tion of the new state constitution. That in
strument has been proclaimed. though in
violation of a distinct promise made to the
people and now there are members of the
assembly who object to taking oath to
support it. They hold that the proclama-
ton was an act of usurpatlon on the part
of the constitutional convention, and that
the people should have opportunity to pass
upon the new charter under which they are
to live.
The argument is wholly with these men.
They are entirely right. Except for the
promise that the people should be permitted
to examine the conventions work. and ex-
press themselves on the subject at the polls.
the convention would not have been author
lied. The old constitution was far from
being a model instrument. but discomfort
with it on the part of those seeking re-
vision fixed upon the suffrage clause. They
wanted that changed 50 as to eliminate the
negro. With this object clearly understood
the convention was called. and it set to
work.
Immediately. however, the scope of the
conventions work was enlarged and took
a wide range. 1t was made apparent in
very short time that the old constitution
was to undergo most radical revision, and
that the new instrument would be a most
interesting and important document. More
than ever therefore was there necessity for
submission to the people if they were to
remain the source of power in the matter
of the highest public concern.
But in proportion as this feeling grew the
danger grew that the people with oppor
tunity would reject the conventions work.
Discussion as the work proceeded had dis
closed the fact that much of it was objec-
tiondble to the people, and did not improve
upon examination. And so proclamation by
the convention was regarded the only
means of fastening the new constitution
upon the state; and the instrument accord
inGly was proclaimed. Again was the Van
derbilt maxim indorsed and adopted. The
people be DID,
Virginia is entitled to ten members of
Congress The democrats control the state,
and the issue this year is Imperialism. A
people therefore not permitted to express
themselves at the polls as to their own
charter of government will be asked to
choose representatives in the national legis-
lature on the issue that the F'ilipinOs who
never until the United States appeared In
the islands knew anything but tyranny.
should not be governed by the United States
without their consent. The Old Dominion
grows humorous.

And Fort Stevens, Too!
From the New York Tribune.

1t Is good thing to preserve all impor-
tant historic sites and relics which can
still be identified or are still in existence
We have been far too neglectful of such
things Through popular and official care
lessness, and sometimes through sheer van
dal1sm, many precious objects have been
lost forever, and some places have be-
come impossible to Identify with precision.
The lost cannot be restored, but all that
still exist may be preserved. We shall do
well to preserve them on grounds as prac-
teal as they are sentimental. There is no
occasion to begrudge the setting apart OF
land for such purposes. Land is valuable
for other things than the building of houses
or the growing Of potatoes
