"Disorderly Conduct"

1t Is to be feared that the elastic term
''aisorderly conduct is being stretched to
the limit by the local police and courts. 1t
is a convenient phrase for covering offenses
OF unquestionably punishable character
which can not be strictly defined otherwise
1t often permits the application of the laws
severity to those who otherwise would go
scot free. greatly to the decentralization Of
public morals. But there Is no occasion for
it's employment when the offense can be
otherwise classified and punished under its
appropriate name. For example, 1t Is to be
questioned whether the ends Of Justice were
well served when four young men were
yesterday fined in the Police Court for dis
orderly conduct" in Tipping coin to deter
mine which of them should pay for cigars.
The testimony showed that they were quite
orderly in their conduct and that the coin
tossing was accomplished without attract
ing undue attention. Nevertheless the
charge was so laid against them and ap-
proved by the court Had these young men
been accused of violating the gaming laws
there would be no occasion for doubling the
wisdom and Justice of the proceedings.
The practice Of betting the price OF drinks
and cigars on some chance Is. while gen.

Lynchers and Lynchings.

In the discussion of the lynching question
the complaint is often lodged that criminals
and those accused of crime are sometimes
shielded by their friends, when everybody
should be active in assisting the officers of
the law in their search Negroes in par
ticular are charged with this offense. and
told that such conduct contributes to
the encouragement of crime.
The proposition. upon broad grounds. is
indisputable. 1t is the duty Of every citizen
to assist to the extent of his power and
knowledge in exposing crime and the
whereabouts of criminals. He owes that
much to good government. If he fail he is
as censurable as the officer of the law who
fails to be diligent in running down Offend
ers. in protecting them for regular trial
once they fall into his hands. The best
government cannot be secured unless all
who desire it's benefits do full part toward
the attainment of that end. The officers Of
the law need the support of those who have
commissioned them to execute the law
But this spirit calls for the supremacy of
the law. Where the law is set aside and
frenzy and savage excuses take its place,
it is easy to see how either an ignorant
negro or an educate white man might hest
tate as to the line of conduct. Let us sup
pose a man accused of rape or murder in
hiding. and pursuers. inf1amed for lynching
close upon the trail. Let us suppose the
secret of the hiding place in possession Of
some nearby resident white man or black
man. with no sympathy with crime or
criminals. but with desire to see crime
punished to the limit of the law. and
promptly. Would such man feel eager to
hand over a human being for torture and
mutilation? Would he feel proud of pro-
viding victim for the stake and the knife?
Would he consider 1t part of his duty as a
citizen to assist would-be criminals in pur-
suit of person accused Of crime?
To put the case in this way Is simply to
show the necessity for a return to the ST.
premacy of the law. Where the law reigns
the duty of the citizen Is clear. and he is
encouraged by every consideration. of either
a public or private character. to perform
his duty. But where the mob relgns; where
criminals are chasing criminals. and in some
cases simply to accuse a person Is to con-
denim him If caught to death without trial.
who may be proud of helping along band

The Boiling Balkans.

The Macedonian troubles have taken a
serious turn during the past few days, not
alone because of the activity of the insur-
gents, who are causing the Turkish troops
to be FASTENED here and there with great
activity. but also because of the assassina-
ton by Turkish soldier of NJ Rostkovski,
Russian consul at Monastir, which lies in
the center of the disturbed district This
family suggests the sudden turn given to
the relations between China and the powers
during the Boxer revolt of three years ago.
by the assassination Of the German am
bassador. Won Kettler, in the streets of
Picking. Everything now points to the i'm
mediate institution of complete preparatory
steps by the Turkish government. The vail
or governor Of Monastir has been super
seeded and the trial by court-martial of the
assassin ordered with a certainty of his ex-
ecution probably with accomplishments of
cruelty. But Turkeys apologies and dis
ciplinary measures will not wholly remove
the Russian sense of injury. nor viii a con-
ciiiatory policy on the part of the porte
negative the sudden awakening Of Russian
interest in the Macedonian situation which
this crime has caused. Indeed, 1t Is already
apprehended in Europe that Russia will
seize upon this incident as an ample pre-
text for pressing the demand for interven-
ton which has heretofore been postponed
for reasons of high diplomacy governing the
cars general policy.
The Macedonian committee frankly avows
in a circular note to the powers that ris-
ing of the people has occurred, with the
purpose of precipitating Intervention. This
is calculated to bring the matter quickly to
a head In the house of commons at Lon
don yesterday Premier BalfOur addressed
himself with evident concern to the Mace
DOMAIN situation and indicated that grave
difficulties beset all the powers in the prem
Uses. He indicated that 1t would be Eng
lands policy to await the result of the pro-
posals recently advanced by Russia and
Austria. But those proposals. it is now
evident. will not satisfy the Christian sub
jects of the sultan. who have apparently
adopted as their irrevokable doctrine that
there can be no peace as long they must
live under the green flag of the prophet by
whomsoever their affairs may be admins
tered.

Look on the Bright Side.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Wall street and the decline and fall of
stocks and bonds have been given moro
than a fair share Of attention for some
time. There are other and pleasanter sub
jects to reflect on. Dull times in Wall
street are not so serious a matter when
there are lively times in the factories and
on the farms. 1t is gratifying to learn from
the commercial agencies that trade adj
vices from nearly every section continue to
show as favorable conditions as a year
ago." 1t Ia true that labor troubles In New
York city and some other places have les
sened the demand for structural steel and
impaired the purchasing power of many
workingmen. 1t Is true also that some
railroads. in view of the condition of the
financial markets. have postponed work
they had intended to put through at this
time. but the consumption of iron and steel
on a large scale still continues. New or
ders are being given and prices are fairly
steady.

The Paris Tunnel Horror.

Paris has suffered another horror COM
parable to that which occurred at the char
ity bazaar of gruesome memory few
years ago, when the f1imsy draperies of the
great entertainment hall caught fire and
caused panic and a holocaust This pres
ent disaster is more terribly significant
than that, however for 1t foreshadows the
possibility of similar accidents occurring
in the subways of this country, whgIe the
underground method of transport has be-
come popular. The Paris catastrophe was
evidently caused in part by the failure of
the authorities to light the tunnel properly.
and again in part by the employment of
very heavy trains composed of combustibie
cars. When the motor of the first train.
which had previously been disabled and
was being showed forward by the second
train, caught fire the lights in the cars
went out and the passengers became panic
stricken. pouring upon the rails in an effort
to escape. 1t is not yet determined how
many of them were killed by the electric
current and how many were suIOcated by
the dense smoke of the burning cars. Of
which twenty were ultimately destroyed.
1t is only too clear. however. that the tun-
mel was a death trap. what with the
charged rails and the fumes from the fires
and the lack of light.
The Boston subway is well illuminated by
means of skylights and by frequent electric
lamps. 1t is. however. not so deep Tho
Paris tunnel, and is therefore easier of
ventilation and lighting. The New York
subway will be difficult of management in
some places, owing TO the great depth.
Every possible precautiOn should be taken
in advance against the chance of such a
frightful accident ever occurring there. The
cars should all be of metal and the TUNE:
should be thoroughly ventilated so that
smoke or other fumes may be taken up
quickly through special f1ues frequently
provided for that purpose. 1t is evident
from this Paris horror that the engineers
do not do their full duty when they provide
merely for the transportation of crowds
and the economy of power The subway
will remain a constant menace to the public
safety If it is not built with clear view OF
all such dreadful possibilities this.

The Cup Yachts.

The preliminary racing of the two sets Of
Americas cup yachts has now come to an
end and the challenger and the defender
will be put in final trim for the actual en-
counter, which begins the 10th of the
present month or a week from next Thurs
day. Both yachts are to be dry locked and
INFLATED on their hulls. Rigging will be
frightened and spars carefully examined
for flaws which may have been developed
by the severe trying-out races they have
lately been sailing There is no longer a
supreme confidence on the part of the man
ayers of Reliance that that craft has a sure
thing in the coming events. Shamrock Ill
has shown a very rapid pace and an abil-
ity to make the best of every kind Of
weather. There is. of course. no assured
gauge of measurement between them until
they actually come together But it Is ap-
parent from the trials that Sir Thomas Lip
ton has brought over his best yacht At
the same time 1t seems to be equally as
sured that Reliance Is. In her aH-round
work. the best racer ever built in these wa
part next Thursday week is whether the
American the British builders have gone
furthest ahead of the standards of 1901.
Not even the differences between the cup
yachts themselves and their pacemakers
can be entirely relied upon as means of
estimation. Doubt is cast In some minds
upon the absolute honesty Of the work of
both Columbia and Shamrock /. If were
absolutely certain that both OF those boats
were in precisely the same trim AZ they

most difficult time with very marked
success. Two Presidents have enjoyed the

highest national concern. and there are
matters still pending about which it is
desirable to have his counsel. 1t is true OF
course. that he is serving the government
