Rewarding Finders.

II the generosity of the owners of money
that is lost and found continues at the
present rate. according to recent news dis
patches. there will be a decided change Of
heart on the part of the finders of valuable
articles. Not long ago a woman give
twenty-five cents to a New York street
car conductor who returned a purse con-
tanning 81 500 that she had dropped Yes
terday at summer resort near New York
a small boy found an envelope contain ng
$500. and the owner. on recovering 1t. gave
the lad twenty cents. OF course no one
really deserves any reward whatever for
restoring lost property to its owner, but
there is nevertheless a feeling abroad that
II is a graceful act for the owner to show
a least pretense of willingness to mark
his gratitude in terms of a substantial
recognition of the finders honesty. Many
people would absolutely refuse to take any
reward for so simple an act of personal
integrity as the restoration of a lost purse.
But there are others who hold to the PRINT

operating in the vicinity Of Lao Yang will

besieging forces II this word came from
Tokyo under otficiai auspices it might be
believed unless discredited on the ground
OF being a deliberate misstatement to mis-
lead Russia. But coming from Russian
sources 1t bears q questionable aspect. 1t
is hardly to be believed that Japan. now
in such excellent strategic position in the
north. would deliberately weaken herself
there. and thus give Kuropatkin chance
to recuperate and to select and fortify
strong position, for the sake Of Fastening
by a few days or weeks the fall of q city
which seems now to be doomed beyond
hope. The flight OF the naval vessels from
Port Arthur has undoubtedly weakened the
Russians there. The Japanese fleet can
now engage the land batteries at closer
quarters than before, and can even shell the
city in cooperative attack with the Jap
anese armies besieging the place. Just
why the mikado should choose this time
for withdrawing even a small force from
the strategically vital point to hasten
victory elsewhere Is not easily imagined
Port Arthur's fall will be a moral rather
than a practical victory. The place Is now
useless to Russia and Japan does not seem
to need the men who are engaged In It's
capture.

foc the service. 1t 10 a fine point In morals
after all. But the fact remains that X
such an action is worth rewarding in any
degree the recognition should be in some
measure proportionate to the property. The
owner of the lost goods must remember
that IL the finder Is not honest 1t Is all
gone. and that the difference between his
honesty and his dishonesty is one of N.5V'

finder a quarter for restoring six thou

Water Perils.

Apart from any question of responsible
Ity. Saturdays shocking accident on the
Potomac during the regatta serves as an
awful warning to all who go into or on
the water for recreation. There Is serious
peril at all times when swimming or
boating or sailing. The chances OF escape
seem to be strongly against person VINO
Is suddenly plunged into deep waters. by
stepping out Of depth while bathing or by
the overturning of boat. Since the first
of May no less than thirty persons have
been drowned in the Potomac river and Its
estuarles In the neighborhood Of this city,
including the ten who went to their death
Saturday. This Is an appalling record,
perhaps not complete. and certain to be
extended II the month of April were i'll
Guided. OF these thirty a great majority
need never to have lost their lives If the
rules of prudence had been observed.
Many of them were swimmers venturing
into dangerous places. Yesterday morning
at Colonial Beach a young man was
drowned while attempting to swim from
the end of the pier to the beach. having
recklessiy wagered with a friend that he
could accomplish the feat. 1t was after
midnight and in the darkness something
went wrong in his performance, for he did
not rise from his plunge.
Such useless sacrifices Of life, where
there is no call for the risk occur every
season. The best swimmers often take the
most desperate chances Saturdays drown
ing of ten persons In the river at George
town may be cassed according to some
views as ''unpreventable." and yet 1t cam
not be doubted that there was grave risk
at the very best state of the case with a
frail launch loaded with fourteen persons
in a crowded stream. People take the
most appalling chances unthinkingfy when
they approach the water. They step care
lessly from shore to boat and from boat to
shore They lean far out over the gun
vale. They crowd to one side of a light
craft. as Saturday. They go canoeing
when they cannot swim. and often with
canoeists of whose agility and strength
and capacity in emergencies they know
nothing. They battle In strange waters
and wade over unsounded bottoms. They
forget all about tides and strong currents,
and squalls. They trust themselves. in
short. to the most treacherous of the ele-
ments without caution training and the
seasons list of fatalities grows longer In
consequence.
Drownings are never really unprevent-
able. save when people are required to go
on the water and are caught by storms
which can not be foreseen. Nineteen
twentieths of the drownings, 1T is safe to
say, result from thoughtlessness or care
lessnesS somewhere. the part of the
victim or others. over-confidence or fatal
Indifference to the fact that water Is a
subtle foe to human life. Nor does the
yearly recurrence of the terrible object
lesson seem to impress itself sufficiently on
the public mind. With the memory Of
drowning fresh in the mind others go
gaily forth upon water expeditions and
take the very chances that In hundreds of
well-known instances have cost lives.

There would seem to have been good
ground for calling OF all the remaining
races at the Potomac regatta Saturday aft
ernoon as soon as the full extent of the
drowning accident had become officially
known. Unfortunately there was no su-
preme authority to intervene. The District
officials who were present as spectators
and guests were without power to prevent
a continuance Of the racing. and so the
spectacle was presented of thousands be-
ing entertained for two and half hours
In the very face of a narrowing tragedy at
the rivers edge Hospitality to visiting
crews may have demanded some cOnsidera-
ton. but the dictates of a higher law than
hospitality seemed also to demand total
suspension of all sport. whatever the prac-
tice elsewhere may be.

This is Davis Week.

Maybe those democrats who failed to tind
what they wanted in Judge Parker's speech
will fare better when they take up the
speech of Mr.. Davis. That will be delivered
this week. The gentleman from West VIZ
ginia Is an old hand at the bellows, knows
what to say and how to say 1t, and his ac-
ceptance of the st. Louis nomination will
probably exhibit him at his best. II that
should fall to please. there Will be no hope
for disgruntled democrats. Mr.. Davis is
not free silver man. and he is far from
believing that protection Is robbery. Does
he favor the policy of scuttle for the Phil
ippnes? If so he ought to speak very
plainly and relieve the feelings of those
anti-imperialists who are racked with pain
because OF Judge Parker's incertitude on
the subject.

What the Statue Teaches.
The Boston Transcript thus remarks


The monument to be erected 10
Boss Shepherd in Washington will not ex-
actly teach the young and tender the high
est ethical lesson. but 1t will at least COM
memorate the services to a community or
a man who rescued 1t from the mud. OF
course. the moral lesson of the boss life
could be conveyed in the inscription on the
pedestal. but that no doubt will be diplo-
matte.
There is need rather for the truth than
for what the Transcript calls diplomacy In
telling posterity the story of Mr.. Shepherds
achievements and character. For the truth
is that he maligned man. whose fame
rests with those who knew him and all his
works upon surer ground than the mere
ultimate value Of what he d. regardless or
how he did it. Had there been more truth
In the days when he fought against enor-
nous odds for the regeneration of WASH
ington he would have succeeded in greater
measure. He would probably have been al
lowed to finish his great task. He would
not have been driven away to restore his
wasted personal fortunes. He would not
have been made an exile from the city he
dearly loved and which in time came to
understand him and to honor him In the
highest degree. There Is no greater moral
lesson to be taught by his life than the
fortunately the day is at hand when this
whole community acknowledges the fact,
whatever may be the lingering doubts IN
some minds far removed from the scene
which seem to cling more tenaciousiy 10
memories of ISLANDERS than to the reveal
tions OF the truth. The statue to be
erected in front of the new municipal
building will teach the young and tender
that there was once day when Washing
ton sorely needed a man of courage ana
ability. and that the man came and worked
and made ground against sloth and igno-
rance and prejudice and neglect and mort
bund civic spirit. and that then narrow
ness and suspicion and selfishness closed IN
upon him and for time overcame him, pnt
that eventually he triumphed. That statue
will mean to all who read the story aright
that Mr.. Shepherd stands higher IN tho
esteem of the community for the lies that
even vet are told about him.

The Turkish Affair.

Another triumph for Secretary Hay. Such
Is the comment on the settlement of the
business with Turkey 1t looks that way.
Mr.. Hay. indeed. has scored nothing but
triumphs I'm the State Department. He has
handled a number of very difficult Ques-
lions. but all of them admirably and sue
cessfully. None OF his predecessors has a
record which shows a capacity superior to
his for good Judgment and readiness of
decision. Our foreign relations have never
been in better shape nor has our diplo
matte procedure ever been more highly
spected In the chancellories of Europe
Accompanying the news of the settle
ment of the controversy is statement of
its cause. This fully justifes every step
taken by Mr.. Hay 1t shows forbearance
on his part. and every disposition to secure
American rights by the means OF argument
and friendly expostulation. 1t was only
when forbearance had ceased to be virtue
and common self-respect demanded some
thing stronger that a sharp notice was
served on Turkey. The result demonstrates
that the time was not miscalculated The
notice was due, and the reply is immediate
and satisfactory. Turkey comedies

Haven't the People Right to Knows

Prom the
Judge Parker's speech of acceptance
leaves the American people as much In the
dark as ever as to his real principles anu
the direction Of his thought on great public
questions. He has put forth series or
carefully balanced expressions calculated
to meet the political exigencies OF the hour
and to offend nobody. But he has not yet
said one word indicating positive opinioIi
about which men would be likely to differ.
He deyotes much attention to generaliza-
lions about the law and the Constitution
in the attempt to pose as their special and
particular champion. just as Mr. Bryan d'd
in his letters of acceptance, though his op-
Moments could truthfully profess equal de-
votion to the principles of republican gov
eminent and point to long record OF
faithful support of the Constitution and
respect for the law.

The War News.

The destruction of the great cruiser
Rurlk by the Japanese in an engagement
between Admiral kamimura's feet and the
Russian ships from Vladivostok comes near
to putting an end TO Russta's naval power
In far eastern waters for the present BE-
sides the Ruriks loss Russia suffers the
serlons dsabement OF two other powerful
vessels. II may be that further reports or
this latest sea fighting will disclose even
further losses to Russia. Coupled with the
failure of the sortie from Port Arthur this
fight In the Strait OF Korea comes
most serious blow TO the Russian hopes.
The ships that ran from Port Arthur are
not all accounted for, and it may be that
some of them have made or will make
VladiVostok. as we'll that some have
made Port Arthur. But at best for Russia
II IL fairly certain that she cannot save
enough ships In good condition out of the
remnants Of the two forces to present a
formidable naval front TO Japan during the
remainder OF the war. and short of sending
the entire Baltic fleet around to Asian
waters these engagements are likely to put
an eud to Russias maritime activity in
this campaign Already there are re-
ports OF renewed activity on board
the vessels OF that fleet. and the
suggestion is pointedly advanced In the
dispatches that Russia will at once proceed
to strengthen her naval forces in the far
east from the home base But the chances
OF a successful voyage are not bright. and
In any case the lapse of time before the
Baltic fleet could reach Vladivostok would
be strongly in Japan's favor. There might
be no Russian port on the Pacific by the
time these ships got into the waters Of
northern Asia.
A remarkable statement is wired to St
Petersburg from Lao Yang to the effect
that the Mikado Of Japan has ordered that
Port Arthur be taken at any cost. and that
