reason why an impeachment resolution

the case Is brought before the House next

out in the light OF the broad constitutional

the proposition Of Senator Hoar that the

The Gas Explosion.

Yesterdays fatal gas explosion in this city
attests clearly to the. extremely dangerous
chara cter of the business conducted in the
establishment which was wrecked. 1t APP
pears from the official reports and records
that other fires and minor explosions have
occurred in the place heretofore, but yes
terday's disaster was the most serious OF
the whole series and the only one that has
cost human life. Under such circumstances
it is advisable that the character of the
business be more closely scrutiniZed by the
authorities and the reconstruction of the
old plant or the completion of the projected
new one. in the suburbs of the city. should
be surrounded by the greatest possible pre-
cautionary regulations. II the manufacture
of Illuminating gas for the use of the rail-
roads is attended by such risks as this
tragedy suggests the producing plant should
be excluded from the residential area and
treated as would be a powder factory, with
a zone of safety about il to contine the de-
structive effects to the premises themselves.
The unfortunate men who lost their lives In
this explosion of course took their own risk
when they engaged in such a hazardous
business. .tv.~S

Rashness in the White House.

This is the latest suggestion to the
democratic deliverancc at st. Louis: Make
the President the platform. Take the
ground that he Is rash man. and menace
to the country in the White House. We are
in constant danger o' war with some for
eign power as the result of his strenuosity
and hot-headedness.
This would be well enough If 1t chimed
with the democracy's own record and tenn
permanent. But it does NOT Take the case
of the war with Spain. The democracy was
impotence itself about opening that ball.
1t complained bitterly of Mr.. Mckinley
who approached hostilities slowly and with
great reluctance. 1t declared, after hostil-
tiles began, that it had had to drag him in
by the scruff of the neck" Except that the
war conducted so brilliantly and with
such complete success we should have
heard more on this subject. One or two
American reverses on land or sea would
have been used as texts going to show that
IL We had struck earlier all would have gone
we'll with us.
When the Panama business came up
few of the democratic leaders jumped at
once to the conclusion that Mr.. Roosevelt
had been too hasty, and they proceeded
without waiting for particulars to draw an
u tNdl eHeCt. Here we were,
they said, embroiled with Colombia, and
certain to be obliged before we got
through to fight the whole of Central and
South America for what with little pa
thence we might have obtained with a little
money. Great Britains experience in
South Africa was as nothing compared with
what We were now in for. But the particu-
lars knocked all of this sky high. The Pres
ident had only been prompt. and what he
had dore was now approved by a good
many of the democrats themselves. They
applauded his conduct, and helped ratify
the canal treaty.
In the one case. therefore, the democrats
felicitated themselves upon being hotter
headed than their republican opponents,
while in the other there were as many of
them found standing with Mr. Roosevelt as
against him. They publicly rejoiced In his
action, and congra tulated him on solving
diihcult problem with such energy
Anyhow, as the south is the hope and STAY
OF the democracy, would it not be rather
drol for that party to make campaign
against a man on the score that he is too
Iuh OF ginger? The southern men are not
Quakers, nor is it necessary to build a fire
under them to get action.
