The Potomac Drowning.

The shocking drowning accident in the
lower Potomac Is sad reminder of the
perils of bathing In deep waters. Appar-
entity all possible precautions had been
taken at this place to render the bathing
safe There was a good beach and the
bathers were presumably familiar with the
locality Yet with amazing quickness five
were drowned before assistance could reach
them. Three Of the victims of this dis
tressing disaster reside in Washington and
their loss will be sad blow to the parents
and friends 1t Is indeed deplorable hap
pening. especially so it seems to have oc-
CURED in circumstances similar to those
that surround many thousands of people
now spending their vacation season at the
waterside. The tragedy emphasizes afresh
the necessity Of teaching young people to
swim and to care for themselves in the
water. Bathing in deep streams, however
safe the beach may appear. is attended by
constant dangers, especially where there
Is marked tide, near the mouth of the
Potomac. 1t is certainly not safe for people
to battle in such places unless in the pres
ence of strong swimmers and with an
equipment of ife-saving appliances close at
hand, a boat. life preservers, ropes, etc.
The risk is too great otherwise.

Meanwhile, 1t is well to note the prompt
ness with which retailers take advantage
of such a labor disturbance to rush up
their prices. Sometimes the corner grocer
Is not himself to blame. but is forced to
put up his rate by the middleman from
whom he receives his stock. But whoever

as there is any prospect of future short

cry out in justification that they are reck-

for which they are charging a high figure.
They did this in the flour shortage a few
years ago. they did 1t in the coal famine Of
two years ago. and they have done it every
time there has been any disturbance in the
meat market.
This is a vicious economic principle, ex-
cusable only by corresponding reduction

Port Arthur.

Those enormous japanese losses at Port
Arthur are shrinking very rapidly. and may
disappear altogether. The yarn was con-
structed on too large a scale. The Jap
aiIese are brave, and eager to take the
fortress, but they know the lay of the
land and are not likely to rush in masses
of thirty thousand on top of mines set on
hair-trigger. The assailants can afford
heavy losses in movement certain of
success. That is to say, they can afford
to pay high figure for possession of the
fortress 1t is a place of tie highest i'm
portaace. Peace itself might date from
its fall. But movement which should
cost the besiegers half of their force and
then fail would be blow from which the
japanese might not be able to recover.

Pat McCarren's Message.

After a conference at EsOpus yesterday
in which. with others, August Belmont
the American agent of the Rothschilds. par
ticipated, the Hon. Patrick Henry McCar-
rem of Brooklyn was quoted as saying
THE sordid element will not be so much a
feature as in the past"
1t is good to hear at any time that things
are ION the level and pitched on high
plane. The sordid element" has done great
harm In our politics. 1t has been particu-
larly powerful in New York. where money
centers, and talks. 1t has been very active
during the past six months. 1t tried TO
control the Chicago convention and failing
there. 1t moved on to st. Louis. Its candi-
date at the latter place was Mr.. Cleveland
and the gossip took almost the definite
form of a proclamation. that more money
could be raised to forward his candidacy
than that of any other man.
But did Mr. McCarren use the word "sor-
did, Has he not been misquoted? Did he
not use the word "sodded?' Did he not
say. and mean to say that this year there
will be no grass under anybodys feet to
start with. nor any permitted to grow
there? Was not his object to impress upon
the country the fact that We are to have
a real horse race-"from eend to eend." as
say? To support this suggestion is the fact
that Mr.. McCarren is what Mr.. Hill calls
race-horse statesman" He uses the
lingo of the turf in his conversation. and as
man of the people knows the value of
breezy colloqualisms He employs the par
ables of the paddock in order to reach more
effectively the people who look to him for
explanations and advice.
"Sodded.' we may be sure is the word.
1t Ats Mr.. McCarren and his purposes and
surroundings like q glove 1t conveys a
meaning which both sides may welcome. 1t
promises a race. with the track as smooth
as the politicians can make 1t. "Sordid'
might be taken for drOllery or sarcasm
Fresh from a conference where trust mag
mates had been conspicuous, Mr.. McCarren
could hardly have had that word on his
lips In its revised and correct form Mr.
McCarrens message should carry good
cheer to all the country. Let us have a.
race on the fiat, and the track in order

David B. Hill.

The fact that Mr. Sheehah went direct to
| Esopus while Mr.. Hill went home gives
rise to story that the latter Is miffed at
Judge Parker because of the gold tele-
gram. 1t should be remembered that Mr..
Sheehan is summering near Esopus, and
| really went home from st. Louis himself.
Mr. Hill will probably turn up in good
time. and assure the candidate of his dis
tinguished consideration. That he will be
welcome when he arrives is open to no
question. The two men understand each
other thoroughly, have worked together in
politics before. and must be jointly tickled
at the st. Louis result
Still another story in circulation is that
Mr. Hill will remain in the background
from now on in order to disarm criticism
in those New York circles which hate him
so bitterly. He wants Judge Parker to re-
ceive every vote possible at home and else
where and if by surrendering the center OF
the managing stage to Mr.. Sheehan ana
others the judges vote can be increased ne
Is willing to take that step. He has out
grown the vanities of early life. and the
limelight is not now essential to his hap
piness.
Here we have the suggestion or that ST.
Louis episode. Everybody knew that
Judge Parker was gold man. but more
than a majority Of the convention were
opposed to any aggressive announcement
of the fact. Two-thirds of the platform
committee voted to make no mention OF
money and the convention unanimously
accepted that decision Then. after he had
been nominated, Judge Parker came out
for gold, and the silver men who had
voted for him were for several hours in
a rage But they were also In trap, and
submission was the only thing.
Now everybody knows that Mr.. Hill is
most influential with Judge Parker. Surely
he ought to be. He put him on the bench.
He offered him a United States senator
ship. He offered him a gubernatorial
nomination He brought him out for
President. and steered him to victory at
st. Louis Why, therefore. should he re-
main in the background only to come for
ward in case of Judge Parker's election
and show himself the dominating force in
the administration? Would not that raise
the cry again of duplicity?
Let Mr.. Hill stand forth in full size and
In his true colors. His right to stand at
Judge Parkers side Is greater than that
Of any other man. and his knowledge of
how to plan and fight battles is very valua-

Excursion Train Wrecks.

Twice within the week excursion trains
have been wrecked in this country with
heavy loss of life. The New Jersey wreck
was caused by the failure of signalman

The Chicago wreck, just reported was
caused primarily by the failure of a freight
engineer to get his train out of the way of
the excursion. He AYERS that the trouble

however that may be, he was at a siding at
which signal should have been located, If
1t was not-the fact not appearing in the

glad to see him out of the district attorney

would give the state leaders of his party as

Meat Prices.

With meat prices ranging skyward it be-
hooves the householder to take thought for
his grocery account. He will find In a
majority of cases. that he has a margin of
economy. Most households use more meat
than is necessary or desirable Physicians
have advised their patients TO lessen their
consumption OF meat. Scientists have dem
onstrated that there is more nutrlment in
many other foods. notably the leguminous
vegetables. Chemists have shown how I'M
wise II is put heat making foods into the
stomach in summer. when the body needs
less heat than at other times Yet despite
all these soundly-base suggestions the
consumption OF meat continues. and. when
through some artificial disturbance of val
ues the retail prices rise the first complaint
Is that the consumer is the victim.
He Is in fact. the victim. but. in view of
all the warnings he has received. chiefly
OF his own habits. If he will eat less meat
he will be less of a sufferer from the Geo.
nomic upset. He is at present under the
burden of the strike In Chicago because
he does not step aside. IL he should do so,

When first they built the sandwich
They used a piece of meat,
So large and appetizing that
1t was a joy to eat.
But as the hungry masses
Brought profits large to view
With thrifty resolution,
They cut that piece in two.
Then way out in Chicago,
The price began to soar,
They took that little layer and
Bisected it once more.
And still they keep 1t shrinking,
Till now there Is no hope;
To know that it is really there,

Senator German is reported to have been
in very bad humor over the work Of the
convention: but what could he expect in
his absence? If the Maryland senator had
an idea that by staying away he could in
crease the conventions appetite for him
he was sadly mistaken. Twelve years ago
all the anti-Cleveland elements were ready
to unite on him, and he was too much
afraid Of being beaten to enter the lists.
This time he kept out of the convention,
and instead of the demand for him being
overpowering, there wasn't any of 1t.
