The Skaters.

The Commissioners decision to break up
tie lee in the tidal basin as a precautionary
measure against possible disaster is to be
commended by the entire community. Even
though this action does deprive the skaters
of Their best opportunity for sport at the
present time. the destruction of the ice
should be viewed by them in their own
behalf and for their own welfare. For last
winters catastrophe at the basin clearly
proved that the ice there is not to be trust
ed. and that as the arrangements of the
shore now are the percentage of danger is
Very high. If the basin walls were pro-
Vided at frequent intervals with broad steps

gangwIys properly broad and long were
arranged to yield free and easy access to

comparatively little risk in the use of this
skating place. provided the area where the
Ice is weakened by the inflow of warm
water from sewer discharge pipe is fenced
off or otherwise kept beyond the reach of
the intrepid, danger-courting skaters Tn

the ice is made, however. and as long as
this soft spot remains unguarded. the basin

ton of a large fund by Congress for re-
constructing the seawal can the skaters of
Washington hope to secure this accommo-

II is to be greatly deplored that there is
not sufficient police force or sufficient
undisputed authority on the part of the
Commissioners over the tidal basin, or any
other skating area, to keep the skaters of

Ward Of Pneumonia.
From the New York Tribune.

loul Tue view 1OTk Tribune.
There can, therefore. be no doubt that the
mtcrococcus of pneumonia Is in the air,
ready to seize upon those who carelessly
or recklessly expose themselves to infec-
ton. Speaking broadly, 1t will be found
that the main factor in the way Of preven-
ton Is to keep ones self in the best posi-
BILE condition, mentally as we'll as physi-
cally. Mentally, because depression fear
and worry must be accounted agencies in
creasing susceptibility to infection. The
necessity Of keeping In good physical con-
ditiOn becomes all the more apparent when
1t Is stated that the researches of SO emf
nent a bacteriologist as former Surgeon
General Sternberg and other investigators
go to show that the germ of pneumonia is
able to live in the mouth of healthy per-
son, whose lungs it may attack with fatal
results should they become vulnerable as a
result Of catching cold The Importance of
avoiding draughts, of keeping the body,
and more especially the feet, well clothed
and of freely ventflating living rooms does
not require emphasis here. What Is not so
generally recognized, however, is the fact
that excuses of every sor,, more espe-
cially the constant use Of liquor, are no
mean factors contributing causes both
to infection and to mortality. 1t requires
only slight. application of common sense
to convince any thinking being of the rea-
sonableness of this, for the habitual use
of liquor unquestionably involves a drain
upon ones vital resources and a resultant
tendency to acquire and succumb to dis
ease.

The Battle Of Capitol Hill.

Is Mr.. Hearst to be Mr. Bryan's legatee?
VIII the Nebraskan upon his return home
throw his influence in favor of the New
York editor for President? Mr.. Bryan is
not a candidate and Mr.. Hearst Is. The
two men agree about many things. No man
has given Mr.. Bryan more loyal support
than Mr.. Hearst Is 1t true in politics, as
in other things, that turn about Is fair
play? And has Mr.. Hearst's turn come?
The Star mentioned yesterday the sugges-
tive fact that while Mr.. Hearst has practi-
caIly been ignored in the arrangements for
the Cleveland Mcclellan dinner to be given
In his own town, he has been remem-
bered in those for a dinner to be given
away out In Indiana at which Mr.. Bryan
is to be the principal speaker. We may
turn then to this town, where Hearst
clubs are springing up and are being re-
cruited from the ranks of those who since
1895 have been known as Bryan men. Does
the impression prevail here that with Mr..
Bryan out of the running. the proper caper
for those who have followed him Is to fall
in behind Mr.. Hearst? And shall we wit
ness the spectacle Of the delegation from
the District Of Columbia marching into the
next democratic national convention not
under the colors Of the senator from Mary
land. neXt-door neighbor but under those
of a representative from New York?
How things have changed within the past
few years! There was a time when Mr..
German was accredited with carrying the
District democracy in his pocket. Certain
1t was that his praises were on every demo-
cratic tongue, and his word was a sort of
law. But then came the party split over
the tariff bill. with Mr.. German leading one
faction and Mr.. Cleveland the other: then
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan for President
on a platform of which Mr.. German did
not approve, forcing him to appear to be
supporting a man whose defeat he really
desired and ever since. the, Maryland sem
ator's fortunes have seemed to be on the
wane in Washington.
Very recently Chairman Jones settled the
long standing contest over the District va
cancy on the national committee The Cor
man men sincerely hoped that Mr.. James
l.. Norris. Mr.. Germans faithful lieutenant,
would be appointed. Mr.. Jones and Mr..
German are very intimate, but the pressure
was evidently too strong against Mr.. Cor
man, for. instead of Mr.. Norris, whose ap-
pointment would have been distinct Cor
man victory. Mr.. Seton was taken. Mr..
Jones found 1t necessary to choose a COM
promise man.
Is it to be a fight to finish? Are the
Bryan-Hearst men resolved to defeat Mr..
German in what was once one of his strong
holds? And can they do 1t? Are we to
witness in this town a battle royal for local
party control. with one faction intrenched
in the Senate wing of the Capitol and the
other intrenched in the House wing?

Brutal. Faith1ess Russia.

Are American sympathies with Russia
or Japan in the matter now in dispute
between those two powers? Are they not
with Japan? Why not? Are not our re-
lations with her wholly cordial? Have
not all our dealings with her shown her
to be thoroughly straightforward. frank
in negotiations, punctual in keeping en-
gagements. progressive and humane In
public policies, and a friend worth hay
ing? Has any power in that quarter OF
the world, or in any quarter, shown a
better spirit within the memorable period
of the past half century? Her course has
made for progress at home and friend
ship abroad, and in her present conten-
I tfons with a mighty and ambitious neigh
sor why should she not have the moral
support al least of the people of the
United States?
Japan does not trust Russia. DO we!
Cannot we understand the distrust of a
power which does not keep her promises
oft repeated? Have we forgotten, should
we forget. Russia's course as to Man
churia? According to express obligations
on her part she should today be out of
Manchuria. Evacuation was to be begun
October 8. But not only has no move been
made by Russia 10 withdraw, but opinion
Is very general throughout the world that
none will be made. Russia according to
the popular belief, is in Manchuria to stay
And her attitude toward the United States
no less than toward the world at large, is
wat are you going to do about 1t?
There may be an answer to that. Some
men of consequence in our affairs think
that the answer should not long be delayed
Russia in Manchuria means a barrier to
American trade, where. under native in
fiuences, or under Japanese influences,
American trade would soon be unhampered
We are seeking trade with all Of China
and unless Russia is permitted to interpose
her strong arm the pursuit should be sue
cessful.
But above the question of trade is the
question of real civilization. The barbara
ties and brutalities of Russian rule are
we'll known. Russia's form of government
does not make for peace, for education, for
happiness, or for progress. Her policy
toward the Jews Is hideous. The condition
OF millions of her people is appalling. Why
then, should any power occupying a place
. among the advanced powers of the world
view with approval or even with COM
placency the extension of Russian bound
aries and influences in any direction?
