the Raritan Yacht Club In the Matter
Good Attendance Desired.

Mayor Seaman is anxious to see a
water carnival held in this city some

still time, with some hustling work,
to hold an aquatic fete on the ami

suggests that committee of citizens

courage the members to again under
Jake the arrangement of carnival.
He concludes his communication by
inviting the recipient to meet him at
the Savings bank Sa aturday evening at
eight O'Clock when something may. be
done, toward accomplishing his

Thankful for Small Favors.
e Editor Of The washington Times:

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Kindly allow me enough space in your val
cable paper 10 congratulate the Washington
Traction and Electric Company upon its i'm
provement in the service at the Baltimore and
Ohio station last Sunday night. BY dashing
lnadly out Of the station, so fast that / nearly
broke my neck getting up the steps, ! managed
70 catch the last regular car, sharing that good
fortune with several other passengers who ar
rived from Baltimore on the midnight express
The Improvement was so noticeable that | ask
that il be given this public mention
/ should say that the car delayed nearly a
quarter Of a minute for the midnight travellers
or until about half OF them were of the
train, and that about half score caught the
car. This Is 50 much better than previous
occasions. when only two or three passengers
were taken from the long line streaming out
q the station, that II is but simple justice TO
the company 20 write this letter.
The fact that another half-score Of passengers
had TO wait on the street corner fifteen minutes
for the first ali-night, or owl car, when they
should have taken the last regular car, should
not lessen the feeling Of gratitude toward The
railway COMPANY

Hats and Elevators.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
You must pardon me for bringing up a set
tied question for further discussion, but am
tempted TO it by a sign displayed in one Of
our Washington lifts. That sign reads: Gen
tlemen need not remove their hats in this
elevator"
1t seems strange that such a sign should
be posted up in any elevator. Why should q
gentleman not remove his hat in such con-
veyancc? Because you are generally in hurry
when YOU enter, says Hustle; because it is a
silly practice at best, says Bustle-
| not pleading for overcourtesy, which IS
another name for insult, but | cannot see how
anyone can condemn any custom intended to
show the gentleman's respect to a lady. Surely,
this is the purpose of the dofting OF ones
lat in elevator.
Then, too, the elevator is different from a
stairway or a street car; it is practically a
room. What would you think if you a
sign in a parlor telling YOU that YOU need
not remove your hate This seems to be a
courtesy with a great deal TO recommend it.
Hats of in elevators! Why not, Mr.. Editor?

that under modern conditions business
should not be unsettled for so long
a time as four months, during which
the country IS wont to be wrought up
from end to end over questions Of
tariffs, trusts and finance.
There Is much truth in what Judge
Parker says, Yet his suggestion for
shorter campaign Is open to serious
objection. Sometimes a campaign of
education, not in fancy but in fact,
must be conducted and dangerous fall
lacies removed from the minds of the
voters. There Is no better illustration
Of the truth of this assertion than the
campaign of 1896. 1t has been gen
orally conceded that. had the election
OF that year taken place Immediately
after the Democratic convention had
nominated Mr.. Bryan, he would have
swept the country, at least enough of
the Middle West to have been elected
President. Even two months after
ward there is reason for very grave
doubt as to what the outcome would
have been The country was free-sil-
yer mad; there were hundreds Of
thousands, perhaps millions, of Re-
Publicans who We're "bimetallists, >
and even Mr.. Mckinley himself, up
to the time the Republican convention
was held, had a decidedly friendly
leaning toward the white metal. Ii
was only in the closing weeks of the
campaign that the fight for sound
money won. That campaign was pre-
eminently one of education. Can any
one doubt that a shorter campaign
would have been disastr0us7
But, after all, the real disturbance
to business conditions complained of
does not last for more than two
months. The first half Of the campaign
Is devoted almost entirely to organi-
cation, the perfection of plans and to
getting things into shape for the final
squirt IN the stretch. The "speIlbind-
ing and the ''hurrah" which unsettIC
matters do not begin usually unit
September, thus leaving only tw,
months for the real campaign work
Il IS none too long a time in which tc
conduct a great national campaign
There should be ample time fol
thought and deliberation before tn,
voter casts his ballot in order that hC
may do so inteligently

Whitaker Wright's Trial.

Whitaker Wright will be tried by Sir
Robert Wright, judge of the kings
bench division of the high court of JUS
tice. and cannot altogether relish the
prospect. For Sir Robert has acquired
much fame in dealing with precisely
those species of Onenses with which
Whitaker Wright is charged, and may
be said TO be thoroughly entitled to
the nickname which has been given 20
him of the Little Red Ferret" Before
his elevation to the bench he was the
terror of the occupants OF the witness
box. Ferrets have sharp. snappy ways
about them, with a tendency TO poke
their nose into everything that offers
even the slightest indication of con-
cealing prey. And Sir Robert as a cross
examiner, with his dry, keen, eager
manner and his absolute disregard for
the feelings of his victims, had much
in common with the 1.-the little animal
to which his personal appearance has
caused him to be likened. Poor Whit
aker Wright will receive but scant con-
sideration at the hands of his ermine-
CARRIED namesake. and will doubtless re-
greet that precisely this particular oc-
cupant of the bench should have been
selected Of all others to deal with his
case

Catholics Barred by Statute.

Indeed, to this day Roman Catholics
are barred by statute from filling the
Office of one of the lord justices who
are intrusted with the powers of vice
roy whenever the latter has occasion 10
leave the island
OF course the ultra Protestant ele-
ment of King Edwards subjects in Eng
land are loud in their denunciatiOn of
this concession on the part of the SOW
ereign to the Church of Rome. But it
meets with the approval of all broad
minded people who argue with right
that inasmuch as there is no longer any
state church in ireland, the Anglican
church of the Emerald Isle having been
disestablished more than thirty years
ago by MT. Gladstone. and since more
than quarters of the population
OF ireland are Roman Catholics. it was
only Just that the monarch should give
precedence TO DR.. Walsh as an arch
bishop of considerably older standing
than the Protestant Archbishop Of Ar
magh. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.

Oxnard for the Senate.

II is not surprising 10 learn that Hen
~ T. OXnard. the beet sugar king. is
seeking an election TO the United
States Senate. He doubtless. believes
that he will be able to do more effective
work in the interests of the great trust
he represents upon the floor OF the Sem
ate than in the Hobbies, where he has
been wont to operate ever since the beet
sugar industry was established.
Oxnard hopes to succeed Senator Bard
of California. whose term expires IN
1905. and is already laying his plans for
the campaign.
Laying plans for a Senatorial cam
paign in California usually consists in
buying up conventions for the purpose
OF nominating legislators. who in turn
may be bought 70 vote for the man who
will make the highest bid. It is not al
ways successful, for Senator Perkins
was able last year TO win a reelection
in spite of the bids which we're made for
his seat. Next years contest. however,
will be a race between milliOnaires. for
there is much opposition to Senator
Bard and the man who wins will be
obliged 10 spend a small fortune. Ok
nard is. of course. prepared to do this il
there is any assurance that he might
come to tho Senate

AMERICAN LINER NUBIA
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Almost Run Down by Kronprinz Viii
helm in Dense Fog.

QUARANTINE. n. Y, Aug. 12.-Yes-
terday afternoon the neutrality-suspicious.
Line steamer Nubia, from China and
Japan. had a narrow escape from COLI
sion with the great transatlantic racer.
KronCrinz Wilhelm
The Nubia was feeling her way in the
dense fog, and Capt. Won Hon estimated
that he was about eight miles east of
Sandy Hook lightship, when he decided
to anchor. The Nubia had anchored, and
had barely changed her steam whistle
fog signals TO those of bells, when an
immense steamer lcomed up in the fog
blowing hoarse blasts, and a collision
was imminent.
Almost instantly the approaching
stranger appeared to see the Nubia
gave a sharp sheer to port, and passed
close under the stern OF the anchored
vessel. The passing craft was the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm going at full speed, east
ward bound from New York for Bremen.

Instructed for Roosevelt.

The first delegates to the Republican
national convention OF next year, 10 be
held more than ten months in the fu-
ture. have been chosen and instructed to
vote for the nomination OF President
Roosevelt The delegates are the Hon.
Henry WILDER Palmer. member of Cor
gress from the Eleventh Pennsylvania
district. which embraces the city Of
Wilkesbarre. and the Hon. Albert c.
Leisenring. a millionaire coal operator
Although 1t has long since been con-
coded by all except Senator Morgan
that the President would be nominated
without opposition, unless. of course,
some unforeseen circumstances should
Intervene. the election and instruction
OF these two Pennsylvania delegates
marks the actual beginning OF the
Roosevelt campaign. From time to time
other districts and other States will fol-
low the same course. and at present
there seems to be little or no doubt
that Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated
by reclamation. even the several lilly
white" organizations in some of the
Southern States being obliged to fail
in line with the delegates from other
parts of the country.

Senator Morgan's Belief.

Senator Morgan Of Alabama is the
only man of prominence who still en-
tertains the belief that Mr. Roosevelt
will not be nominated. In recent in
terview he is quoted as saying that
when the President sees his own nomi-
nation is impossible he will throw his
strength to Senator Foraker. who will
be nominated 1t might be that il the
President were TO see that his own
nomination were impossible he would be
inclined TO aid in the nomination OF
Senator Foraker in return for the as
sistance which the Senator gave him in
Ohio last spring
But the Presidents sight is not 50
much Impaired that he cannot see the
certainty of his own nomination. The
man with the defective optics is SEN
ator Morgan. He reads the signs of the
times wrong If he believes that the Re
publicans viii name any other than
Theodore Roosevelt as their standard
bearer next year. although there are
doubtless some who might wish that
Senator Morgan's prediction would
prove correct

The Dublin Castle Incident.

Great is the sensation which has been
created not only in Ireland. but like
wise throughout the United Kingdom.
by the action of King Edward when at
Dublin the other day he granted pre-
cedence to the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop of Dublin, DR.. Walsh, over the
Protestant Archbishop of Armagh. who
is the Anglican primate of ireland. at
the levee held ct Dublin Castle. In
fact, Archbishop Walsh was accorded
the pas" Immediately after the white
haired lord high chancellor of Ireland,
before any OF the other great digni-
taries and mobiles present at this cere-
mony.
In paying this compliment to Arch
bishop Walsh. King Edward took the
ground that, whereas, DIR. Alexander has
only been Anglican Archbishop vf Ar
magh, and Protestant primate of Ire
land since 1886, Dr. Walsh has been
Archbishop of Dublin for close upon
twenty years.
II was the first time that q Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. or for
the matter Of that. Roman Catholic
dignitary Of any kind or description,
had ever crossed the threshold of Dub
/ lin Castle, where for so many hundred
years "Popery" ranked as treason TO

SECRET SERVICE FINDS
A CLEVER COUNTERFEIT
Ten-Dollar Bill, Closely Initiating Sc
ries of 1891, in Circulation.

A description Of new counterfeit $40
bill has been issued by W. II. Moran.
acting chief Of the Secret Service di-
vision. The note is the series of 1891:
check letter, D." plate number, q; J.
Fount TIlman. Register OF the Treas
ury; d. n. Morgan, Treasurer OF the
United States. and bears a portrait of
Hendricks.
The note is apparently printed from
plates of photo mechanical production,
on paper of fair quality. No attempt
has been made to initiate the silk fiber
Of the genuine paper. The counterfeit
is over an eighth of an inch shorter
than the genuine. The green ink used
on the back of the note is several
shades darker than the genuine. The
seal is a decided pink instead Of car
mine. The general appearance of this
counterfeit is excellent. and calculated
TO deceive even careful handlers OF
money. Three specimens of this note
have been seen, all bearing the number
7O1934S.

Nj. TTaCeWell'S Decision.
Is the District Government Merely an
Agency of Congress?

The decision of Comptroller Trace
well that the municipal corporation of
the District of Columbia is only an
agency of Congress for the admins
tration of It's Legislative acts is one
which, if held TO be correct, places the
people of Washington in a much
more dependent and helpless condi-
ton than they have ever been sup
posed TO occupy. 1t would seem to de
prlve the local authorities of much of
the power they have been allowed to
exercise in their own discretion. In
the particular case in which the deci-
sion IS made IT Is especially unfortu-
nate. To abolish the detention camp
and provide no place for its present
occupants would not only be danger
Gus to them, but perhaps a menace to
the public health. Furthermore. if
there Is TO be no place where victims
of contagious diseases may be isolat-
ed, an outbreak of smallpox or other
infectious disease might cause an cpl
demie. The question is therefore a
serious one.
Fortunately the decision of the
Comptroller is not in accord with the
opinion of the Department of Justice
as given by Attorney General Griggs
five years ago. Mr. Griggs then de
elared that the courts had held that
the District of Columbia is a NUM-
cipal corporation proper as dis
tinguished from a corporation estab-
hshed as an agency of the Government
creating it. Under this construction OF
the law there ought to be no doubt as
&c the right of the District authorities
tc rent buildings for such purposes as
TIE establishment of detention camp
without direct authorization from
Congress. 1t Is doubtless under this
decision that the Commissioners have
been acting when paying the annual
rental for the building now used, and
it Is 10 be hoped that for the sake OF
public health, as well as for the safety
Of the unfortunate inmates of the IN
stitutiou at this time, they were act
ing properly.
Aside from this fact the point
raised IS an interesting one, and one
which should be settled definitely II
order that the status Of the local gov.
eminent may be fixed.

Johnson Caused Trouble.

Tom Johnson came into the district.
however. in his red devil and ac-
cording to the doctor caused him all
kinds of trouble. At one OF Johnsen's
big tent meetings the mayor said some
thing about the taxation OF railroad
property, and DR.. Norton. who had for
a number OF years been a railroad audi
tor, was drawn into the controversy and
forced to defend himself against John
sons attacks. On the night OF election,
when the votes were counted, it was
found that DIT. NOrtOns 5000 majority
had been wiped out and in its stead
there was a majority Of 300 for his Re
publican opponent, the Hon. Amos Henry
Jackson. a millionaire shoestring ped
der. Norton attributed his defeat TO
Johnson and has since had some IN
pleasant things to say about the mayor.
He entered the contest for the delegate
ship for the purpose OF opposing John
son. and it IS quite likely that he viii

ton.
