Street Preaching.

1t will be no easy matter for the police to
exercise an entirely satisfactory discrimina-
ton in any crusade against the street
preachers or other annoying occupants of
the public spaces Of this city. They may
have laid down for them, perhaps, two or
three broad rules, such as to prohibit the
erection of signs or maps or placards cal
culated to attract an idle crowd: or to
forbid the passing Of the hat for contribu-
lions. But they cannot be intrusted with
the task Of deciding whether the doctrines
preached are desirable or otherwise. The
world has struggled for too many centuries
without reaching the point of agreement on
theological questions to warrant clothing
police officer with powers of decision in
this respect. Either all street preachers
must be kept of the public spaces or all
who obey certain fundamental and neces-
sary regulations must be allowed to use the
street corners irrespective of dogmas. They
must not interfere with traffic, but the Dis
trict cannot say that one class Of them,
such as the Salvation Army, may remain,
while the opponents of another school of
religious instruction may not. It Is doubt
less true that much Of the talk uttered in
the public places in this city is ridiculous,
meaningless and calculated only to appeal
to the fanatical mind But where may not
cant and folly and stupid rant be found in
public speech? 1t would probably be unwise
to sweep the streets clear of all exhorters,
for then the authorities would lay them
selves open to the charge of tampering
with the right of free speech. Washington
does not desire to enter upon a reign of in
tolerance or severe repression. 1t wishes to
be safe, comfortable and cleanly in it's do
nestle arrangements and to accord to all
classes the fullest possible privileges COM
patible with the rights Of others.

cause Is not far to seek. These large holders
Of land have endeavored to preserve the
game and timber from spolia ton at the
hands of the old residents. who have come
to regard the forests as their own to do
with as they will. The man who was killed
insisted upon the last shred OF his legal
rights and perhaps injudiciously carried his
grievances into court. But he was appa-
rently at all times within his rights. His
death and the fight of other. less litigious,
sojourners will give the lawless elements
courage to pursue their victory, but they
cannot hope to continue to dominate the
region by force. The state of New York
has serious task on its hands in this mat
ter. and its performance of the duty of
making the Adirondacks safe will be close
ly watched

The Iowa Idea.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Press has from the first insisted
that there was nothing in the Iowa idea
as defined in the Iowa platforms which was
not entirely harmonious with the national
republican idea as defined In the national
platform. Its essence Is simply that, while
the principle of protection must be un-
falteringly maintained, the rates Of duty
may and should be revised from time to
time as the changing conditions OF produc-
ton, cost and distribution suggest and war
rant. The general policy Is fixed: the de-
tails are to be governed by Industrial and
commercial developments. All this is dis
tinctly and almost infinitely set forth in
the republican national platform Of 1885,
coupled with declaration for reciprocity
there Is nothing more in the Iowa platform
which presented the iowa idea" in most
pronounced form. 1t permits differences as
to the extent, scope ard time of tariff re-
vision, but 1t holds all republicans together
on the broad controlling principle.

The Stock Slump.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


1t Is idle for Wall street philosophers to
attempt to account for the continued col
lapse in stocks on the ground of short
crops or Industrial unsoundness. Crops
are not short enough to affect the general
prosperity materially. and there is no in
dustrial unsoundness except where some
speculative venture has drawn capital and
labor into unfruitful fields, such as the
$780," and these cases are not numerous
enough or on scale large enough to af-
feet the industrial balance seriously.
The trouble with Wall street is too much
gas and Its after effects. Hundreds of
huge corporations have been launched, for
the most part composed of smaller cor.
porations which were doing reasonably we'll
before they were combined and would DO
doing as we'll now If they were not tryins,
to pay dividends on a capitalization from
two to five times their real value. Their
excessive stocks sold for time pretty well
upon the theory that they were organized
and powerful monopoles. able to put up
the prices Of their products and extort from
the consuming public enough to pay divi-
bends on almost any amount Of stock

Reign Of Terror in the Adirondacks.

New York can no longer scoff at the de-
moralized state Of society In Kentucky as
evidenced by the mountain feuds. In the
Adirondacks there exists today a condition
the equal. in many respects. Of the Ken
lucky disorders. The families Of wealthy
property owners are fleeing before threats
Of assassination One man has already
been killed from ambush. and his slayer is
as yet uncaught. Shots have been fired at
the premises of one of the largest holders
of land in the entire region. Anonymous
notices to leave have been sent to. others.

Of terror exists today in that section OF the
most thickly populated state in the union.

A Time Of Trial.

Maggie's taking music lessonsi
Goodness gracious me!
Home was happy; but 1t isn't
What it used to be.
Everybody has headache.
It's fearful thing.
Even Fido bowls In sorrow
When she's practicing.
Ger the scale she gaily gallops,
Sharps and flats and all;
Gives an agonizing gurgle-
Ends with squall.
And we sit and sadly wonder,
Mid our fierce unrest.
How she got that steam piano
Wedged into her chest.

College Electives"

lacking in this regard and nine times
out of ten those with whom we con-
yersed were honest enough to give
correct information as to safety in
drinking the article. Suitable water
for drinking purposes Is one great
need in Texas. The streams are slug
gish and publication necessarily slow
and one is tempted to turn to beer
or some other beverage While run
ming around we asked our genial Irish
friend Colonel Calvin, why it was ne
never got knocked out while travelling.
Said he: Il make 1t a point from the
time of leaving home never to taste
water. Ii | cannot secure beer ! go
thirsty. because just as sure as one
drinks the different kinds Of water he
is bound to encounter trouble, espe-
cially in the south" To our knOwl-
edge the colonel did not sample Texas
water. and during the three weeks we
was with him he did not have an all
ment He informed us that he fol-
| lowed this rule when he went to Eu-
rope and always felt fine. This is not
good card for the temperance cause,
| but it goes to show the necessity OF
every community obtaining the purest
water supply no matter what the cost
At New Orleans we were 10th to in
dulge in the mixture dished up from
the Mississippi, and the same held
good at St Louis. When at Wash
ington the papers we're filled with ac-
counts of Cornell students dying at
Utica where the water was found to
| be contaminated, and it raised the
question as to the kind of water every
town was supplied with. Physicians
tell us that typhoid fever is almost
universally caused by germs in the
water we drink. and typhoid is not the
only disease brought about by bad wa
ter. Take it in large cities, every
first-class hotel guarantees the water
served as being free from germs In
that every precaution is taken as re-
CARDS filtering and the source of sup
ply. but one has to pay for such pre-
caution. While travelling through the
south and east the water question was
so vvidly called to mind every day
that our thoughts naturally reverted to
the Durango supply and it was with
thankful heart we looked forward to
he day when our people will be fur
lished with pure article from the
Florida, and We want to say right here
that the advertisement of this new
supply will be worth ten times what
| it is going to cost. Durango has suf-
fered greatly in the past on this
ground and laying aside all prejudice
every man. woman and child should
congratulate themselves upon the pro-
posed change. After carefully noting
the effects of. polluted water supply
we are free to confess that we'd vote
for change of water if it cost an ex-
ira ten dollars year per family.

When | had had an attack of the

teaspoonful of this remedy, and

THE oRuANoo posroFFicE.

The Herald scribe would not be hu-
man II he did not feel gratifled over
the sending In OF his name to the sen
ate yesterday by the president to be
postmaster at Durango. 1t Is unne-
cossary to state that we coveted the
position and took steps last fall to
bring about the result. but In SO do
ing We feel that no man can say the
appointment was secured underhand-
cd Now that the appointment has been
made. it may not be out OF place to
state that In November the writer call
"A upon all the supposed candidates
and talked the matter over. stating
that he was In the field and desired
a clonn and open scrap. and In secur-
ing the thrcc.fourths endorsement OF
the county central committee every
signcr was informed who the other ap-
plicants were. md we challenge any
one In La Plata county to come for
ward and say that we ever uttered a
disparaglng word concerning one OF
tho applicants, simply basing our
claim for the position on party work
and standing. We feel very grateful
for the endorsement OF the party ma
chinery. Chairman Patterson endors-
ed the application after a large major
iiy of the committeeman had agreed
To the appointment and labored to Sc.
cure the fuldllment OF the party re-
quest as represented by the organiza-
lion. In addition. the writer Is very
grateful for the letters of recommen-
dation he took with him TO Washing
ton. There were not many. but right
to the point. and the kind that enlist
cd the endorsement Of Congressman
llogg and his colleague. Congressman
Brooks. and 1t is no secret now that
the appointment was agreed upon with
the president before the writer left
Washington and no apprehension as to
final result entered our mind.
For Republicans who sought the ap-
poin,ment. we have only the kindliest
