oblivious to the joys Of the "tun-tuffs' nd
the perils of bailooning. The walking craze
has become epidemic. ard II is believed
that in a few weeks all France will be

1t would be premature to say that the new
Democratic leader in the House of Repre-
sentatives is equal to the task which needs
to be performed. We must wait to know
whether or not Mr. Williams Is capable of
organizing an intelligent and patriotic on
position from the minority forces nominally
at his command. But 1t Is both proper and
pleasant to congratulate him on making a
creditable use of his authority in dealing
with the Cuban treaty. The determination
of the Democrats to vote for the bill put
ting the treaty into effect after an effort
to amend 1t in two particulars, is on the
whole. the most respectable thing which
the partys representatives in Congress have
done for a good while. 1t Is not accom-
panied with an apology for the unprincipled
course which they took in allying them
selves with the Republican indictments in
the last Congress to defeat a measure bene-
fetal alike to the United States and Cuba
and essentially comfortable to democratic
principles but that was not to be expected
Nor are they to be cenSured for putting
themselves on record though in a some

the sugar differential and the pledge of

Hill of New York.

Jacob A. Cantor, a politician of some
prominence in New York. made a journey
through the south last spring in the inter-
ests of the Parker presidential boom. and
Is on the eve now of journey through his
own state in the same behalf. He THINKS
the democrats Of New York must wake up
IL the party is to be persuaded to take
New York man.
Mr. Cantor disikes and distrusts David
B. Hill. and is quoted as follows by the
New York Tribune:
"Hin? Hill couldn't carry New York.
He's not fit to be state leader He's led the
party to defeat 50 often that all confidence
in him Is shattered. I think when he sees
he can't control things he'll go over to

with open arms. Yes, indeed! If 1t came
up again Roosevelt would sweep the coun-

nation of Cleveland, but he's not so bitter
toward him as he used to be-"
Suppose Mr. Hill does fail to control
things" for himself at home. Suppose he
decides not to aid Judge Parker. Suppose
the choice presented is Cleveland or Cor
man. In whose camp is Mr.. Hill likely to
be found? Mr.. Cantor assigns him to the
about that?
Mr.. Hill likes neither man. His dislike or
Mr.. Cleveland goes back fritalber of years.
= 2 two men have never been more than
polite toward each other since the cam
paign of 1885, when Mr.. Cleveland failed of
reelection to the presidency and Mr.. Hill
was elected governor of New York. The
charge was then made by the Cleveland
people that Mr. Hill betrayed the national
ticket In New York and Mr. Hill denounced
the charge as false. In 1892 Mr.. Hill was
candidate for his party's presidential
nomination: but Mr.. Cleveland defeated
him. and that added to the GOODNESS be-
tween them.
1t was not until Mr.. Hill came to the
Senate that he met Mr.. German. clash
between the two was inevitable. Each is a
strong man in his way; and they have
plished politician. Mr.. German plays the
game like a shrewd man of business; Mr..
Hill like a shrewd lawyer. But both play
it well. and up to the limit. They quarreled
over the tariff bill in the spring of 1894, and
Mr.. Hill voted against the measure after
Mr.. German had put it into such shape
that it's authors and sponsors in the House
could no longer recognize it. Mr.. Cleveland
appeared to support Mr. Hill in the con-
troversy and withheld his signature from
the bill.
With this record to guide by, who can say
with safety what Mr.. Hill will do next
year if he finds himself with a little power
in his hands and forced to choose between
two pet ayersions?

The Pay of the Firemen.

An efficient member of the District fire
department has resigned his position for
the reason that he finds it impossible to
support his family on the salary granted
by the appropriations. He likes the work.
although the hours are long and the risk
is great. Were the pay sufficient to enable
him to live deCently and to maintain his
family properly he would gladly remain in
the service.
The letter of resignation stating these
facts should be pinned to the Commission
ers' estimates as an exhibit to illustrate
their recommendation that the pay of the
firemen be increased The community
wants good, steady men in this service 1t
prefers men who are contented with their
lot, yet are intelligent enough to recognize
the gross injustice of the payment of star
walton wages. 1t is to be remembered that
the pay of the local fireman is not equiva-
lent to the same sum paid to men in other
lines Of employment for out OF 1t must
come the cost of uniforms and other items
of equipment

scale is notably lower than that in any
