Mr.. Teller declared that woodsmen

expressed his regret that the house

fire today, many persons being rem

The Pistol Law Not Adequate.

The Star feels compelled by considera-
tions of the public security to take issue
with the corporation counsel in his report
that the present law regulating the sale
of firearms in the District is sufficient
safeguard. His opinion was asked by the
Commissioners on account of the recent
shooting of War Department clerks by a
paroied inmate of the ST. Elizabeths Hos
pital for the Insane. That case appeared to
show conciusiveiy that the present system
is far from safe or reliable. 1t permits any
man. whatever his condition of mind. what
ever his standing or his purpose. to pur-
chase a pistol at any one of several dozen
establishments within easy reach. by mere
ly giving a name and address. purporting to
be his own. but offering no guarantees and
bringing proofs that he Is stating them
correctly. Such system is virtually no
protection. The minor approaching adult

committing murder for a few dollars with

mitted and the weapon is traced 1t APP
pears that the vendor has gone through
the motions of compliance with the law
and is blameless. even though fooled by
the purchaser No action can be taken
against him.
1t is believed that far more certain
method of protecting the public from the
habitual or the sporadic pistol carriers
would be to prohibit the sale of these deadly
weapons TO any persons save those to whom

Parker and the Platform.

If the democrats are on the way to the
nomination of Judge Parker, the question of
a platform becomes somewhat simplified. He
should not be a hard man to fit. He has no
political record that requires to be studied,
and he possesses in platform matters the
spirit of accommodation. Witness his ac-
ceptance of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms when he was not in agreement
with either. AS candidate he could not. of
course, stand upon a reaffirmation of either
of those deliverances, or upon a platform
reproducing in substance policies which the
country has twice rejected But he will be
a good man to father generalities, and to
both write and talk around ticklish topics.
1t was never difficult to fit Mr.. Cleveland
with platform, even after he had made
record. He stood upon what was
prepared for him. Twice his friends tried
to shape the deliverances to his and their
liking, but both times failed. The platform
which Mr.. German took to st. Louis in 1888
was very unlike the one which Mr.. Waiter
son induced the convention to adopt, but
the change made no difference with Mr..
Cleveland. He desired the German plat
form, but willingly accepted the other. The
main thing was the denomination, and that
mad come to him without a contest.
something like this took place again four
years later at Chicago. The men who were
there making the fight for Mr.. Cleveland
tried again to soften the platform on the
tariff question. They played openly for a
straddle. But their defeat did not disturb
Mr.. Cleveland. He accepted the platform
adopted as readily as he would have done
the one his friends had fought for. The
main thing was the nomination. and Mr.
Whitney and his little black satchel had Sc

Here. then. would appear to be precedent
enough for Judge Parker. The nomination
Is the thing. He can stand upon any plat
form which the st. Louis convention. if in
huenced by the spirit of moderation and
compromise, may adopt. And then he may
turn to the Bryan people and say: II voted
with you twice when not in sympathy with
your views. Come, now, we are not trying a
case in court. Nobody is under oath. Vote
for me whether you believe these things or

Enter Wyse, of WISE and Wilson

Mr.. Wilson of Hinsdale IlI-with desk
room In Chicago-standing In noble attitude
as guardian of the national honor and the
American Constitution now has a proto
type In Francs. NJ. Bonaparte WISE the
original concessionaire of the Panama
canal, has flung himself into the breach
caused by the non-suiting of Colombia bv
the civil courts, and declares that he will
light to uphold the honor of France. Only
the loftiest motives inspire him in the insti-
tuition of the suits which he proposes to
bring to check the transaction now pend
ing between the United States and the new
canal company. The abandonment of the
scanal as French enterprise, he cries with
true Partisan fervor. is a monstrous crime.
He proposes-inadvertentIy using the
plural pronoun, perhaps from force of
habit-to seek the support of the public
and press in a campaign of public purifica-
ton"
That sounds almost, as fine as Mr.. VIII
sons little speech to the American people
Pro bono publico! But will France warm
up to this cry of Panama for the French"
1t has not shown any signs thus far of
throwing fits over the loss of the canal en-
terprise to the French capitalists. Forty
millions of American money have seemed
like fairly acceptable balm to an abrased
national cuticle. For the people of France
there are unpleasant and unsavory remi-
niscences connected with the Panama canal
due in part to the reckless manner in
which the French tinanciers and engineers
managed the property. Panama spells
heavy losses to thousands of French fami-
lies. M. Wyse is probably building on a
sandy foundation when he establishes him
self on the ground of an appeal to French
patriotism to the end that Panama may
become again a strictly French enter
prise. Far be it from any American, with
the Wilson spectacle in view. to suggest
that Mr.. Wyse. too, has been receiving calls
from gentlemen from Bogota," or that he
Is in wireless or other communication with
any American railroad magnates. He, too,
asseverates with every evidence of sim
cerity and without the least wrinkle of
smile, that he is for France, and France
alone. The world will regard the Wyse-
Wilson patriotic stunts being worthy TO
be carried 'top-lners'' on the great in
ternational vaudeville bill.

cable from Krugersdorp. South Africa,
runs as follows:
General Delarey. the former -Boer COM
mander, addressing a congress of farmers
today. said he regretted the forthcoming
at the ST Louis exposition. which he said
would be shameful production. General
Delarey said he wished to bring to the no.
tice OF the world the fact that the Beers
had abandoned all thoughts of vindictive-
ness toward Great Britain. and that IL was
now their privilege TO work in peace
These are sentiments worthy of a soldier
and patriot. The Beers in their recent
war with Great Britain made a resistance
which for courage and resource and te-
nacity challenged general admiration To
share In this feeling IT was not necessary
to indorse the cause of the Beers, or APP
plaud their judgment in tackiing an an

alone was sufficient to inspire it was

or wrongly. felt that their all was at stake
They claimed. themselves, that they were
fighting for their firesides and national
ity. and they appealed for outside sympathy

the Boer war. with men participating who

strike unless their hours are shortened and
their wages raised 1t would be mistake,
however. for labor in Panama to assume
too much. Work is certain to increase and
money to be more plentiful as the result of
the canal enterprise, but there will be an
increase also in the number of that class
of people who work with their hands. and
this will prevent any corner in the labor
market. So far we are concerned, We
shall be able and willing to pay living
wages for what is done for u.s. but shall
also be prepared against hold-ups We are
pledged to dig the canal as soon as possible,
and of course lat a reasonable figure.

The Vice Presidency at St. Louis.

The Indiana democrats have their eyes
on the vice presidency. AS the old compi-
nation of Tammany Hall and the solid
south gains in popularity the old combina-
ton of New York and Indiana is insisted
upon by the Hoosiers. They rule out the
west on the score that contest there
would be fruitless. Mr.. Roosevelt's strength
in that section is reckoned at conquer
ing figure, and so democratic votes must be
sought In the middle states. 1t is good
argument, and if properly used should make
Indiana a powerful factor at st. Louis
1t is true the Indiana of today, politically
speaking-and especially with reference to
the democracy--is not the Indiana OF 1876,
1890, or of 1884. In those days tine demo-
Gratis had several strong men to draw upon,
and one in particular. Mr.. Hendricks was
tower of strength, and always at his
party's service. His fame and influence
were national, but at home he came very
near to being the whole thing. Were he
alive now his party's difficulty would soon
be settled. A Hendricks boom for first
place would sweep the democracy and New
York would be figuring on the second place.
But If Indiana has changed, so has New
York. The present democratic leaders OF
the Hoosier state compare with leaders who
are gone quite as favorably as the demo-
cratic lea ers of present New York do with
those of twenty and thirty years ago. Judge
Parker, worthy and personally popular as
he is, ranks in intellectual leadership much
below Judge Church, or Tilden. or Hoffman,
or Hewitt. They were men of national i'm
portance, and stood with the ablest in the
country in either party. The democrats
who are now on deck in that state, with the
single exception of Mr.. Hill, are Of local
name and parochial quality.
IT, therefore. Judge Parker is to be nomi-
mated for first place purely because of his
supposed strength at home. why should not
the Indiana democrats name for his running
mate some man of equal degree among them
whose local strength and popularity give
hope of polling the party's full vote there?
The effort should be, not to reach the Hen
bricks standard, for that would be impossi-
ble but the Parker standard in New York.
And that should not be difficult.
The south, in any event, is assured for the
St Louis ticket. What devolves upon the
democracy is to nominate men who figure
respectfully at home, and can be praised
during the campaign to the people of the
neighboring states. The partys ablest and
most brilliant men are barred this year be-
cause of their records

Expressions of public opinion show that
the sinister character of the proposition
to convert the parks of the city into
school sites was not understood or ap-
preciated at the outset. The protest against
this outrage is daily stronger and wider
spread. For it is, indeed. an outrage to
close or limit the spaces. already far toe

The Moving Habit.
