The New York police have always been anxious to get crooks out of town, but since the Baltimore fire started they have reversed their policy. Inspector McClus key of the detective bureau assigned twelve of his men to the West Street fer Ties with orders to arrest any crook seen heading for railway depots on the Jersey side. McCluskey satd he had information that a number of thieves were planning to 80 to Baltimore.

Trained Guides in Reading.

Boston transcript.
 The librarian who thought he was put ting a poser to the members of the Mas sachusetts Librarians Club when he asked why a library should not be run on the theory of giving people just the class of novels they want to read was really arguing from the mistaken hypothesis that people read the books they want to. As a fact we all read the things that some well-meaning friend or clever advertise ment writer tells us we ought to read. Then why shouldn't we let our librarian, a man trained to distinguish between the real book review and the publishers press notice, also have some influence with us?

Young Men in the DEPARTMENTS.

1t Is to be feared that Senator Depew for
got to consult the records before making
his address yesterday to the students of
the Yale Law School. In the course Of
which he advised young men not to ac-
oept employment under the government,
adding:
There Is not an instance upon the record
where a young man has entered an ad-
mlnistrative department and has after
ward risen to a position. OF prominence.
Under existing conditions 1t is impossible
for him TO do so. Advancement in the de-
partments Is not based upon merit or upon
faithfulness. but upon political influence and
by the very fact of his connection with a
department young man loses the oppor-
tuities to obtain the influence which is
necessary to his Advancement.
There are altogether too many instances
of clerks rising to become efficient ane even
famous officials to permit the list to be
prepared or quoted. Instantly comes to
present the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor. whose career alone suffices to prove
the very contrary OF Mr.. Depew's state
n.ent Mr.. Cortelyou entered the public
service as a stenographer, serving In New
York as private secretary to various public
officials. such as the post office inspector
and the surveyor of the port. and then in
sistant postmaster general. He was de-
tailed from that position to the White
House, where he acted as stenographer to
PRESIDENT Cleveland. From that time on

striking another with brick and for that
offense was fined $40. But the law was not
satisfied with that stroke. for it prohibits
the projection of missiles with intent to
harm. and so. notwithstanding the convic-

ing property and throwing the brick In
every case the act of throwing is included
in the reckoning, to the end of increasing
the counts of the Indictment and swelling
the records. It is believed that scrutiny
of the docket of this court will disclose
many instances of such cumulative charges,
which might with entire safety be con-
soldated. The end of justice is to punish
and prevent crimes and misdemeanors, anu
1t matters nothing whether the o1enses
cited In court are detailed with scrupulous
exactness so long as the judgment of The
presiding official is satisfied. If these use
less additions to the record in the case OF
single offenses were eliminated Washington
would have a chance to defy the critical
statisticians who are continually claiming
that 1t is sink of iniquity.

Ohio at st. Louis,

The democrats of Ohio yesterday played
for harmony and came within one letter of
it. That is to say, they listened to the adj
vice of ex-Attorney General Harmon of
Cincinnati. and selected a delegation to St.
Louis without imposing instructions upon
It, 1t will, however, be governed by the
unit rule. The delegates-at-large are OBJ
scurities. Not one of them can reasonably
be expected to give the state any prestige
in the convention. Tom Johnson is but a
district delegate, and John r. Mclean does
not appear at all. Has the latter thrown
up the sponge? Or will he attend the con-
vention as general adviser and make him
self felt from the outside? The Mclean
influence, whatever 1t may be, will. If the
opportunity presents itself, go to Cleveland
or to German. Parker Is not on that slate.

Gasoline Fires.

The advent of hot weather means the
general abandonment of the coal range and
the starting of the gas and gasoline
and oil stoves which nowadays form
part Of the domestic equipment. With
tho lighting of these, In The proportion that
gasoline and other highly volatile burning
fluids are used. begins the freman's most
trying season. when he is called upon fire.
Quently to exunguish dangerous small
blazes. 1t is a singular fact. noted by the
officials of the fire department, that more
minor accidents happen in the course of the
responses to false alarms and to insg-
nihcant fires than in the case of the more
dangerous blazes. Only by the promptest
work can the firemep keep these gasoline
explosions within the limits of the so-called
small fire, for by the nature of the stuff it
spreads the flames quickly and far There
are now in force regulations fairly restric-
tive of the sale and use of gasoline, and If
they were strictly obeyed by ALL vendors
and users alike. there would be very much
less trouble from this cause But famil-
iarity breeds the usual contempt in this
case, and long immunity from trouble
sooner or later brings carelessness, and
then fire, which usually inficts personal
injuries and often causes death
The day may never come when the gaso-
line stove is banished absolutely from use
for its cheapness recommends it to those
who must study economy in the domestic
management But just so long as 1t Is used
for cooking, especially in charge of the
average Washington servant. it will remain
u menace to the public security. Unremit-
ting care in the management of the stoves
and the storage OF the burning fluid and
unfiagging thought as to the treacherous
character of the stun are required. II dis
aster could teach the desired lesson effec-
lively and permanently II would have been
learned long ago, for the list of victims and
the records of property destruction are long
and calculated to impress the entire COM
munity deeply. But season after season
brings its quota of accidents and fires, and
the firemen today stand ready to respond to
the usual percentage OF alarms on this
score Every householder who uses gaso-
line should take note OF the fact that fires
have already occurred this season from this
cause. and keep a watcbful eye on the
kitchen

1t Is one of the commonest OF popular De-
liefs in this country that Tammany cares I'LL
tie or nothing about the fate or the nauoi
SO long as 1t controls the big city. ram
many was never a heavy feeder at the red
eraI trough when the democracy was IN
power and it does not look forward at
present with any degree Of enthusiasm u
the prospect of the election OF Judge
Parker to the presidency. In fact, 1t IS
concerned in the national political game
only to the degree that the issue or next
Noyembers voting for President affects
Tammanys own prospects for carrying the
city again in 1905. This was clearly proved
by a perhaps unguarded outburst of feeling
on the part of one Of the members of the
Tammany executive committee, who was
interviewed in New York by a reporter for
the Tribune as to the political effect OF the
crusade which Commissioner McAdoo Is
now conducting against the race gamblers
In New York. He admitted that the closing
of the pool rooms by the police would cut
down the Tigers vote, but he took phflo-
sophical view of the case in terms of It's
to him-beneficia1 result of putting Tam
many in shape for the mayoralty race:
when the votes are counted next No
vember we can lay 1t all to Hillism. That
will kill off Hill. and the democrats who
vote against the ticket next fall Will get
over their mad by another year, when we
want to re-elect Mcclellan. 1t Is better to
let the voters punish us this fall and have
1t over with them than put 1t off until the
detection would lose us control or the city.
Tammany has never wept a single tear
over the defeat of a democratic candidate
for the presidency. It's people go to the ma
tional conventions and march under the
banner of this candidate or that, and shout
for favorites, but the bosses never lose
sight of the great stake, the control of the
city. And when it is understood that Tam
manys leaders have made up their mind
that Hill spells Parker and that Hill means
to accomplish the smashing of the Tam
many power in the state, the Parker out
look, between the reprisals of the race
gamblers against Tammany and Tam
many's bitterness toward Hill, Is by no
means brilliant.

The Philippines.

We have In Mr.. Curtis letter from Ma
Mia printed In yesterdays Star warning
against the foolish proposition to commit
this government to early independence for
the Filipinos. He describes what is afoot
at Hong Kong to forward movement to
that end, and the kind of men in the archi-
pelago who are being melted to activity.
They are principally the ignorant and i'm
mature, eager for. adventure, and easily
duped with promises OF rich reward. To
them the Philippines for the Filipinos Is to
mean high rank I'm the army and pay TO
match. No commission as paltry as that
OF a colonel has yet been discovered, but
generals and lieutenant generals are nu-
merous. When the Americans retire. these
men are to step forward and take charge.
The archipelago is to be in their hands, and
they are to determine Its future.
The revolt against Spain was, as we
know, engineered largely from Hong Kong.
A junta sat there, raised money In one
way or another. encouraged the discon-
tented in the islands, and accomplished
some results. Spain was not overthrown
by this agency, but she was put to con-
siderable expense. and for years had a
guerrilla warfare on her hands.
That junta of course. had better means
to work with than has the present 1unta.
The Spanish government of the islands was
very oppressive, and there was no hope of
Improvement. Spanish promises were
broken as often as made. So that the dis
contented element included many men of
education and ability. and grew in num-
bers to be quite formidable.
We, however, have so conducted the af-
fairs of the archipelago as to invite the
confidence of the better grade of the Fill
pinos and show them the advantages of our
rule. They are not only consenting to it,
but assisting in making 1t a success Some
of them are holding responsible offices.
Others are more prosperous in their private
affairs than ever before. All are benefited
by the change from Spanish to American
sovereignty
But why should we play into the hands
of those who are manipulating even the
most ignorant of the population? Why by
q declaration either at Chicago or ST. Louis
give the junta at Hong Kong encourage
ment for an Increased activity against
us? For nothing Is more certain than that
plank in either national platform in
favor of early independence for the Fill
pinos would be interpreted in the islands as
policy Of the government actually agreed
upon, and cause US no end of trouble.

Educating Filipinos.
From the indianapolis Journal.


One OF the wIsest things the War Depart
ment has done in its administration of the
PHILIPPINES was to bring considerable num-
Der OF young FfIiptnos to America and dts
tribute them Il, American schools SO located
that the climate did not cause them to suf-
fer 1t was the action of Japan in scatter
ing her young men among the best schools
of feudalism into modern civilization in less
than half century While the mestizos OF
Luzon may not have the character of the
Japanese, all accounts credit them with q
remarkably alert intelligence, and the rec
ords made by these students during their
first year bear this out. A large percentage
of them expect to become teachers at home,
while others desire to pursue courses In en-
cheering and various other branches of
scientific and commercial study, and there
seems small room to doubt that, on their
return, their influence among their people
will be great.
