New Haven.

The streets adjacent to the college campus were in whirl of college men and all the ia . vorite student resorts were crowded .. The serial attraction of the evening was the glee club concert in Woolsey Hall given by the combined Yale and Harvard Glee Clubs.

Make the Schools Safe.

Any disposition to lessen the fireproof
qualities of the public school buildings of
this city by the Introduction of wood in the
construction in manner to invite confia-
grafton should be stoutly resisted and every
possible measure adopted to insure cor
rect program in this respect. 1t is stated
that in official opinions ii will be safe to
construct the new Business High School
without fire-escapes and otherwise to add
to the fire dangers. because of the high
efficiency of the fire drills in which the
pupils of all the District schools are con-
stantly trained. This may be a safe
lance. but experience suggests the opposite.
The lesson taught is that it is necessary to
provide every possible fre-resistant and
every means OF rapid exit. OF course the
fire drills must be continued and the pupils
must be kept in discipline even in strictly
''fireproof'' building, which 1t is now well
known is little more than fire-resistng.
There must be no trusting to chance. 1t
is well, as a correspondent of The star
writes today, to sacrifice ornaments fea-
lures IN the school buildings in order to
gain security. If necessary. But it should
not be necessary TO reduce the structures to
mere barns in point of plainness and ugli
ness in order to make sure of a reasona bic
degree of fireproofing. 1t must continually
be borne in mind that thousands of lives
are daily exposed to this possibility os
danger in the school houses and any policy
Of false economy which would ever result
in the sacrifice of any of them would be in
the highest degree criminal. The best way
TO avoid all question of such a heavy re-
sponsibility is to deal literally with these
matters and If the building conditions do
not now permit the erection of a safe and
creditable structure the Commissioners
should go at once to Congress and ask for
an enlargement of the appropriations before
deciding either to cheaper the proposed
school house In order to make it mbIe
secure or to ornament it at the expense OF
its safety.

be brought to mind. The war In South
Africa between the English and the Beers

there was tendency in some quarters dur
ing the struggle to describe it as the Boer-

at least, that in all of these cases the popu-
lar titles were given to the struggles before
the events indicated the outcome. Of
course in the Boer war and that between
the United States and Spain there could
be no doubt as to the victors Still, the
matter is interesting. and the fact that this

New York.

The result at Albany Saturday Is charac-
terized as Hill victory, but its real value
has yet to be determined. The ex-senators
majority was uncomfortably small. and he
had to abandon. or thought 1t best 10
abandon, the leading feature of his pro-
gram. His main purpose was to boom
Judge Parker by formal resolution. This
was not done, and so the decision as to the
time and place for holding the state conven-
tion to choose delegates to Chicago lacks
force. Mr.. Murphy. who, in opposing any
instructions at all for the delegation, dis
tinctiy opposes Judge Parker, broke almost
even with Mr. Hill. and will renew his
fight at the convention. Between now and
April IS. therefore. democratic circles in
the empire state will present a spectacle of
great activity.
In the matter of instructions for the New
Workers. who are to represent the state at
st. Louis the argument appears to be with
Mr.. Hill. The democracy of the country Is
looking to New York for the candidate, and
the New Workers should decide upon their
man before the hosts gather in the national
convention. They should be prepared to an
swer at once the question which will then
be propounded to them. If they are not so
prepared; If they go to ST. Louis without
instructions and are known to be divided by
the Parker. the Cleveland and the Mcclellan
booms. with the Hearst boom a quantity
calling for explanation and probably for
apology. they may lose their chance and
throw the convention into complete confu-
sion. Outside democrats may take alarm al
such incertitude and acrimony, and Surn
elsewhere for the candidate. And turning
elsewhere. what would their chances be of
finding a man whose strength in New York
would give reasonable assurances of sue
cess at the polls?
Mr.. Hills argument for instructions is one
thing; the wisdom of his choice of the
men to receive the instruction is another
thing. Judge Parker, whom he favors,
is a man of excellent personal qualities
and enjoys general respect. But In politics
he is an unknown quantity. Mr.. Cleveland,
whom Mr.. Murphy declares for. is pro-
nounced platform In himself. But thou
sands of democrats would refuse to support
him. Mayor Mcclellan. whom Mr.. Murphy
is charged with secretly grooming for the
nomination, is as yet without national
prestige And then r. Hearst. Who shall
describe just what his strength or weakness
in New York may be?
And so we get an idea of the full New
York difficulty. Instructions may be vital
at st. Louis, but in whose name should they
be issued?

Some Utah Conundrums.

The answers so frankly given by Presi-
dent Joseph Smith of the Mormon Church
to the senatorial inquisitors suggest a num-
Der of interesting conundrums When is
law not law? When is a revelation not
revelation? When is church rule not
church rule? These are some examples
of the pOsers which the people are now
trying to solve. For 1t appears clearly
from this testimony that laws are laws
only when they do not infringe upon church
rules, and that church rules are not church
rules when they conflict with new revela-
lions. and that revelations are revela-
tons only when they do not trespass upon
the personal wishes of the receiver of the
revelation and some of his friends The
complexities of the old-style theology are
nothing compared with those which are
suggested by this disclosure of the work
ings of the Church of the Latter-Day

Hearst a Western Man

MIR. Hearst, whose name was not men,
toned in any of the speculation INDUCED in
at Albany Saturday, takes his revenge in
his New York newspaper today. The presi-
dency. he says, will be won or lost in the
west. The English of this is, why so much
bother about New York? A man whom the
west knows and trusts is the man for the
emergency. Does Mr.. Hearst fill this bill?
He thinks so. He is a product of the west
and still retains large interests there His
eastern citizenship is of comparatively re-
cent date. So let the tiger growI as it WILL
he'll be gay and happy STILL He Is playing
for delegates in the west and south and
northwest. and is getting a few. Can he
convince his party at st. Louis that his ap-
praisement of the situation is correct?

pose, can get a deadly weapon If he has the
price, and rest secure In his anonymity until
some accident discloses his weapon or he
uses 1t with criminal intent.
Far more to the point of lessening the
evil would be a law permitting the sale. OF
weapons only to those who can display to
the dealer the permit of the court. Then
the lists would mean something. Compared
with the court records, they would serve as
an accurate guide to the identity of the
aw-abiding pistol owners. This require
ment to obtain court permit might with
advantage apply to all persons, whatever
the purpose for which the weapon is in
tended. whether to be kept at home or in
the business place as means of defense
against thieves. or carried out of fear Of
threatening enemy. Legitimate pistol
ownership is by no means so broadly in
elusive in these days of comparative per-
sonal security as to warrant the license
now given to every community to arm it
self. The very nature of the crime of
carrying a concealed weapon renders all
laws aimed at it more or less ineffective
on the basis underlying the District
statutes.
If this change is not made in the code,
requiring all pistol buyers to present "a
court permit to the dealer, the courts them
selves should adopt a uniform rule of APP
plying the maximum penalty to all con-
victed offenders against the law. And if
the courts will not thus work to the dis
couragement of the dangerous habit by
such policy of fines and imprisonments,
then Congress should raise the minimum
of the fine or make the Imprisonment i'm

One Way to Stop Bad Building.

From the New York Sun.
One method of insuring compliance with
the building laws by all contractors would
oe to compel, in the case of every structure
intended for use as public hall, office
building. hotel apartment house, the
conspicuous exhibition of a copy of every
notice served upon it's builders during its
construction, with certific ate of the final
action of the department on the matter in
which complaint was made; just as steam
boat owners are obliged to display a copy
of the government inspectors certificate.
Thus every person entering the building
could tell Immediately whether 1t had been
constructed in compliance with the laws
Not much time would be necessary to con-
vince builders of the necessity of having
clear record. for few persons would care
to remain in a building which had not been
declared safe at every stage of ftsrconstruc-
ton. \

Mr.. Germans Second Try.

Mr.. Germans speech on the naval bill
was a thoroughly characteristic perform
ance. The Maryland senator is a nice bal
ANGER and a protean artist of exceptional
skill. When the lime light Is playing full
on him, he gives a performance worth the
while of any spectator.
AS the leader of his party in the Senate
he challenged the Panama canal treaty.
and called for its rejection. The repub-
licans alone were not strong enough to
ratify the instrument and this seemed to
him to be Mr.. Germans opportunity.
caucus was held and an effort made to
bind the democrats against the measure.
The south in part rebelled. She wanted
the canal and would not play Mr.. Germans
game Then we had some serious assur-
ances from him of great interest in the
project for piercing the isthmus, but he
wanted it done strictly according to inter-
national law and fair play between neigh
bors. He talked, upon second thought,
more in favor of uniting the great oceans
than the men who were pressing, against
his opposition, the treaty to accomplish
that end The country smiled, and Mr..
German failed.
As a second assertion Of leadership Mr.
German challenged the appropriations rec
too large. the navy itself already top
heavy" He took the position that great
deal of the money could be better expend-
ed on internal improvements. This, too,
proved poor lead. Public sentiment did
not support 1t. Many democratic news
papers and quite as many influential demo-
cratic politicians urged liberal treatment of
the navy. Opinion north and south ran
counter to the German program So that
last week. conscious that he again had
failed. Mr.. German shifted his ground so as
to try to appear as. a non-partisan in the
contest. and as anxious to keep the question
out of the presidential campaign. The re-
suit is that the country is smiling again,
inasmuch as the presidential campaign has
already begun, and Mr.. German as a presi-
dental aspirant is beating the bushes in
every direction for an issue.
What will be his next play? Hard as his
luck has been, Mr.. German has not struck
his colors. The White House still shows in
viting in the distance 1t may appear a
long way off; but is Judge Parker, is Mr.
Cleveland. is Mayor Mcclellan, is Mr.. Olney
any closer to it? The snarl in New York
may force the party to go elsewhere for it's
candidate and between Maryland. and
Massa the former has more claims
upon its attention.

The Yellow Peril.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The effort OF Russia to identify her ag-
gression in the east with the general cause
of the white races of the world, concerned
to protect themselves against possible in
undation of the teeming yellow races in the
remote future. was foredoomed to failure.
AS resolutely as the ghost of BanQuo re-
fused to down. so resolutely does the "Yel-
low Peril, which Russia invokes refuse to
rise. The sympathy which she hoped to
arouse by posing as the champion Of Euro
pean civilization against effete but dam
gerous oriental one has not been mani
tested to any great extent And in those
countries where there have been such man
ifestations there have been reasons of self
interest which amply account for them,
without its being necessary to consider the
yellow Peril as a factor.
