Mr.. Hills Last Days.

4 prisoner under sentence of death IS IA
yored in many things by his jaiier HIS
food is Increased in quantity and quality
his messages to his friends are delivered
promptly, he Is addressed in kindlier
tone. and in many ways his remaining days
are frightened as much as possible. The
policy is creditable to humanity. AS his
days are gliding swiftly by, every oppor-
tunity consistent with prison discipline IS
improved to render him a service.
David B. Hill Is self-condemned. The day
of execution. fixed by himself is January
next. He is participating therefore in his
last campaign. His days as an organizer
and a stumper are gliding swiftly by. 1t Is
his last opportunity to pay of old scores
He has a good many on his list. Like all
aggressive men, he has always aroused bit
ter opposition. He has received some Sc
we're excoriat tons. No man of his day has
been more roughly handled by his enemies.
If he were not little bitter he would hardly
be human.
After the fashion Of jailer. Mr.. Hill has
decided to befriend the condemned. He will
indulge himself in his closing days. He will
say things to suit himself. He will pay his
respects to the opposition after his own
manner. If the party managers don't like
1t they can lump II. Inere Will De CAKES
and ale for them after this fight is over, no
matter how it may go. But not for him.
This is his last chance.
Mr. Hills two speeches have shown his
spirit He has not chosen wisely He is
not helping either himself or Judge Parker
by the tone of his addresses. He ought to
be particular as to Judge Parker, because
he stands for him. He nominated him and
undoubtedly wants him to win. But every
word of abuse of Mr.. Roosevelt-whom
Judge Parker greatly admires-is so much
against the Parker candidacy. The people
do not believe. and cannot be brought to
believe. that Mr.. Roosevelt is fraud, or
that his policies are fraudulent. The line
of criticism is immeasurably higher than
that. and Mr.. Hill. although in sight of his
own cerements, ought to be able to see it.
In 1890 Mr.. Hill canvassed in Virginia
Mr.. Sheehan should try to persuade him
this year to go to Mississippi. New York
is not the proper canvassing ground for
Mr.. Hill in his present frame of mind.

be difficult in view of the fact that there
are few IL any strong natural positions in
this stretch of nearly fifty miles The Hun
river. a large branch of the Lao, gradual
ly approaches the, railroad as 1t nears Muk-
den and crosses the line just south of that
city. Once across the stream, 1t might be
possible for Kuropatkin, using Mukden as
a base and stronghold, and the river as a
screen, to keep the japanese for some time
south of the Hun. But the experiences of
the Russian commanders at the Yalu do
not warrant much hope of holding the &C
tive Asiatics long at bay with only a river
as barrier.
So high have run the Russian hopes dur
ing the early stages of the fight at Lao
Yang that If it is true, as indicated by these
recent bulletins that the battle has gone
against Kuropatkin. shocking reversal Of
spirits will undoubtedly ensue at st. Peters
burg. Throughout the months Of repeated
Russian reverses the government of the
car has seemingly held to the belief that
as soon sufficiently strengthened kuro-
patkin would stand and give battle and
more than atone for all his retreating and
his losses. Now comes this suggestion that
despite his strength of numbers and posi-
ton, the Japanese have managed to crush

Wireless Forecasting.

Wireless biography can serve no better
purpose than that to which it is to be put
by the government in the reporting to the
mainland of meteorological conditions at
sea Heretofore the chief handicap upon
the weather forecasting service has been
the fact that many of the Severest storms
come from the ocean, both the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and that it is impossible
to gain knowledge of them sufficiently in
advance to give the coast cities adequate
warning or to give the shipping the benefit
of the necessary days foreknowledge of
such disturbances TO keep vessels in port.
Some help has been obtained from the West
Indies on this side of the continent but
often storm conditions prevail in other d.
rections. and the coast is devastated sud
denly. Again. storm conditions prevail a
few score miles out at sea without affect
ing the coast. and yet serving as a menace
to ships that pass from port into the travel
lanes. With the wireless service in full
peration-which means when all large
vessels are equipped with the apparatus-it
will be possible for the observers and ex-
perts on the mainland to know the weather
facts within wide margin beyond the
coast, 1t is estimated that fully a days
warning can be given of the approach of
storms which now sometimes burst upon
the shores with only few hours notice
Another excellent move is the transfer to
the weather bureau of the ocean meteoro-
logical work from the Navy Department.
Concentration of authority means the con-
servation of energy and the best use of
facilities. While there may be a close CO.
operation between the two departments 1t
is evident that there must at times be lost
motion with two jurisdictions. With all
the governments weather work combined
under single administrative head. and
with liberal preparations to extend the
observation service, both at sea and on
land. the value of the service to the people
of all classes and callings, should be ma
terally increased.

term to say that he has educated them.
but it is strictly true that he has played

hold on them.

Who gave so many reasons or with SUCH
emphasis. why Judge Parker should not De

burning words the baleful influences or
such men as Belmont and Hill? And yet
Judge Parker Is the candidate, and Bel
mont and Hill are the mighty men behind
him. If Mr.. Bryan's Campaign expenses
are to be paid by his party's committee, the
money will come from men and corpora
tons long under the lash of his displeasure.
Mr.. Bryan is probably entering upon a
new experience. His audiences are not
likely to sit dumb under the torrentiat flow
of his language. but here and there VIII
appear men with questions. And some Oh
those questions are certain to prove en-
barrassing even to man of Mr.. Bryan

on the southern side and kuroki has sue

not clearly indicate the whereabouts or oc-

this force is closely cooperating with

Japanese Courage.

Why describe the Japanese courage as
faratical? 1t appears to be anything but
that. There has been nothing fanatical in
the movement against Port Arthur either
by land or sea. Every step has been cal
culated, and we'll calculated. Fanaticism
would have attempted To rush things re-
gardless Of consequences. In carrying out
II carefully considered plan an army when
i. touch with the enemy is expected to
throw itself upon him with full heart for
the work. That is what the japanese are
doing. But they have done it before. They
did it conspicuously ten years ago in the
war with China. What causes some people
to marvel now is that the same spirit
should be shown against Russia Why not?
The superior enemy but provokes the fight
cr to greater deeds. Lucky would Russia
be If she We're confronting a nation of
fanatics. The japanese belong in no such
class.

The Current Crop Scares.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
Attempts at this time of year to affect the
speculative markets by scare" reports
about injury to the crops are no new thing
but there appears to be an unusual sensi-
tiveness to their effect this year On account
of the hope of improved conditions which
depends SO largely upon the coming har-
vests. This accounts in measure for the
industry and ingenuity displayed in putting
out the conflicting and confusing reports
about wheat and cotton, with an occasional
attempt at scare over the unusually
promising corn crop. There is no manner
of doubt that there has been much con-
scious and Intentional exaggeration in the
reports of injury to wheat in the northwest
from rust just at the critical time for the
spring-sowu grain.

The Young Voter.
From the Baltimore American.

One of the most interesting questions as
ISOLATED with the campaign is that of the
vote of the young man who has just reach
ed his ma jorfty year, or who has come to be
twenty-one since the last presidential cleo
ton. For the first time he is brought face
to face with national affairs as an elector.
he has not voted He is like the soldier
who has gone through the manual of arms
but has not actually fired a bullet at an
enemy. He stands ready to fire the bullet
of the ballot. and IS even more undecided
than a soldier because he cannot be so
sure which way lies the path to patriotism.

Swim,
From the Chicago Record Herald.

The unusually large number of deaths
from drowning emphasizes two things-the
need of greater care in the management of
boats and the wisdom of learning to swim
at the earliest age possible. In New York
the board of education has always pro-
vided for public instruction in swimming
until this summer, when 1t was abandoned
because of alleged shortage in school funds,
an act which has excited vigorous public
protest. Each summer witnesses a great
rush from the cities to the lakes and rivers.
The largest opportunity should be pro-
vided for those who wish to learn to swim
and the public should be prompt to take
advantage of II. The ability to swim should
be regarded as one of the necessary accom-
plishmentS.
