Baltimore,s Overhead Wires.

1t is of course at this time impossible to
estimate just how far the Baltimore fire
was fostered in it's early stages, when the
fire department had chance to extinguish
it. by the network of electric wires which
spread throughout the business district.
But all accounts indicate that the firemen
were seriously handicapped by these con-
ducters in their efforts to stay the flames.
They split the streams of water. prevented
or delayed the raising of ladders and other
wise by their mere physical presence en-
barrassed the work of the firenen. But in
other respects also they proved great
menace to life and hindrance, for by some
unaccountable oversight or indifference to
the public welfare the two chief electricity
producing plants continued for several
hours to generate deadly currents, and thus
the DISCRIMINATING mass of fallen wires
in the very heart of the city became
charged. 1t Is mercy that scores were not
shocked to death. AS 1t was. the presence
OF the live wires. which in turn charged all
others with which they came in contact,
seriously retarded the fire-fghting work.
Baltimore has been fighting the overhead
wire evil for years. but unsuccessfully on
account of the close relation between a
political machine and the electricity pro-
ducing and using corporations In conse-
resisted all efforts to combat 1t, despite a
high state of public indignation. the city
has remained many years behind the times
in this regard. along with several other
communities which have failed to foresee

The War News

There is now evidently not the slightest
chance that war may be averted between
Japan and Russia. Japan Withdrew its min
lister from st. Petersburg before the Rus
sian reply was actually received at Tokyo
and forthwith Russia commanded its own
minister at Tokyo to prepare to withdraw
Furthermore. reports from the far east by
way of Europe indicate that japan has
struck the first war blow by Selling
a fleet of Russian merchantmen. The war
ships which, 1t is stated. did this thing were
on their way to Chemulpo, Korea, doubtless
for the purpose of effecting the first stra-
tegic move of the campaign The teIe-
graphic facilities are very poor, owing to
the disposition of the Russian and Jana
nese authorities TO exercise a rigid censor
ship over all news dispatches, so that it is
quite possible that the conflict NAV even
now be tiercely raging on land or on sea or
both. while the western world awaits the
first tdings. 1t is evidently going to be diff
fcult to communicate with the scene of the
trouble, and meanwhile false rumors are
certain TO be circulated. which will call for
the exercise of great prudence and patience
In deciphering the exact truth. There is no
doubt of the keen American anxiety In ia
pans behalf, and every vestige of informa-
ton from Manchuria and Korea will be
awaited with acute interest.

Roofing at Chicago.
A dispatch from Chicago says:

"A QlSpatcn from CnCdSO says.
1.-THE political rooter will have little
chance to give one of the oldtime exhibi-
tions of enthusiasm at the republican ma
tional convention in June. The ardor OF

been found too small for the first plans OF

The Cars Responsibility.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
No question is, perhaps, oftener asked
concerning Russian politics and govern
mental affairs than that about the personal
power and responsibility of the ezar He is
commonly called an autocrat and his gov
eminent an absolute monarchy. The inquiry
Is raised whether he is really the captain of
the ship of state or merely its figurehead;
whether he Is in fact the supreme power
or largely the puppet of what is vaguely
called the Russian system" If the for
mer, then people wonder how it is that so
enlightened and humane man as Nicholas
ii can be guilty OF the breach of faith in
Finland, the horrors of Kishineff, the con-
fscation of the Armenian Church property.
the non-fulfilment of pledges in Manchuria
and the aggressions upon Japan which
threaten the peace of the world The an
swer, we are inclined to think, must be in
a measure twofold. Theoretically, the car
is absolutely supreme in both legislation
and administration. Every law enacted by
the council of the empire must have his
sanction before 1t can become valid; while.
on the other hand. he can make a law
which will be valid not only without the
consent, but in spite of the dissent, of the
council. He can also make exceptions to
laws, suspend laws or abrogate them at
will. In the administration Of laws, too, he
is supreme. There Is not even q judicial
check upon his authority. for he can make
and unmake Judges and courts at will.
With such absolute power and authority,
he must. theoretically at least, bear COM
parable responsibility.

Judge Parker Breaks Cover.

Judge Parker has at last given personal
countenance to the Parker presidential
boom. 1t occurred at a dinner IN New
York Saturday night, eaten In honor of an
active local politician. who Will probably
be very active in the coming campaign.
The judge was toasted as 1.-The next Presi-
dent of the United States" blushed appro-
priately. and made a short speech. Neither
Mayor Mcclellan nor Leader Murphy was
present, however. and in appraising the
value of the demonstration their absence
should not be overlooked Tammany is not
shouting for Parker.
There appeared in print yesterday, stimuli
taneously with the report of this dinner,
letter, dated the 1st instant. written by VIII
liam H. Ryan, democratic politician OF
New York, to Mr.. Bryan, testifying, upon
the writer's personal knowledge. to Judge
Parkers support of the partys ticket both
In 1896 and 1900. This is a point upon
which Mr. Bryan has expressed an opinion.
His information has been that in 1895 Judge
Parker voted for Palmer and Buckner, and.
SO believing, he has declared against the
judges aspirations. Will Mr.. Ryan's as
surance change Mr.. Bryan's views? Can
he be induced to erase the name of the
judge from his black list?
On the other hand. what will be the effect
of this letter in sound money circles? The
eastern democracy, as whole. claims
Judge Parker as one of its own. And what
would it profit him to gain the whole Bryan
outfit and lose his own people? He Is an
eastern man, and must be gagged by his
environment. If he goes into the White
House he will be while there as distinctly
under eastern influences as Mr.. Cleveland
was, and on all Issues will be expected to
reflect the eastern view. No statement
could be safer than this
Mr.. Ryan has probably busted himself in
vain. Mr.. Bryan, for effect in certain
cases. overemphasizes regularity. In other
cases regularity doesn't count for anything.
For an instance, Mr.. German was regular
in both of Mr.. Bryan's races, and yet Mr..
Bryan could not be brought to support Mr..
German for the st. Louis nomination. He
well understands that the Maryland sena-
tor was never an advocate of free silver or
free trade, and he believes, as many others
do, that the party's defeat in 1896 and 1900
was neither a surprise nor cause for re-
greet to Mr. German. The man who was
merely regular Is not the man Mr.. Bryan
wants, but one who was heart and soul
with the cause, and still is. And by this
token. Judge Parker, whatever box re-
ceived his ballot eight and four years ago.
is just as little to his stomach as Mr.. Cor
man. The whole east is still, with Mr.
Bryan, 1.-The enemys country" His inter-
est in Mr.. Hearst is increased by the fact
that the east is opposed to Mr.. Hearst.

We should probably have coincident with
the absorption of Manchuria and Korea
into the Russian system some warm and
explicit assurances from Russia. But they
would hardly be accepted. Russian as
surances as we all know. are but masks
for hidden purposes, to be thrown off in
Russia's own time. Remember Manchuria,
would then be the watchword, and the
powers would be obliged to take the case
into their own hands Any other course

The Inevitable.

Oh, this earth is a very disheartening
sphere,
Just why twas set spinning was never
quite clear.
But it rushes through space on the can
non-ball plan,
And we poor struggling mortals stick on
If we can.
Oh, it, turns on it's axis to make night and
day,
And at every turn there's the mischief to
pay;
But in spite of it's changes, it's doubts and
it's fears,
There are laughter and song that may con-
quer the tears.
So here's to the earth! Both in sorrow and
mirth,
We must sleep, we must wake. we must
breakfast and sup with it,
OF pleasure 1t shows a deplorable deartvh,
But it's all that we've got. So we'll have
to put up with it!
The mire and the snow drift are thick on
the land,
But alas, we're obliged to have some place
to stand.
The wind shakes our teeth as we struggle
for breath,
But with no air at all we would all choke
to death
oh, the warmth is too hot and the cold is
too chill
But without any weather at all we'd be
ill.,
SO let's be of cheer though these troubles
won't halt,
Our conscious is clear for it isn't our fault
Then here's to this earth. for it holds In its
girth
The price. and We'll gather and drink Off
cup with 1t.
The company's trouble is more than it's
worth,
But it's all that we've got and we'll have
to put up with it.
