Take the expressions In favor OF prom

will be to hearten that Filipino junta at
Hong Kong, and increase its size and in
dustry. Every adventurer in the far east
who knows the archipelago will turn his
eyes In that direction and begin to figure
on the future. Every one Of them Will
likewise become shouter for the st. Louis
ticket, and ''pull" in every way possible for
its success. The Filipinos themselves will
become unsettled, and wonder what 1t all
means, and If American sovereignty was so
soon to be done for what 1t was begun for.

Cleveland has just been trying to explain.

The Front yards Of Absentees.

Several hundred householders will soon
leave Washington for the summer, to spend
two or three months away from the capital
In search Of cooler weather Most of them
will close their houses. some putting them
In charge Of caretakers. others merely shut
ting doors and blinds and leaving the
premises to the protection Of some auto
matte burglar alarm system or without any
safeguard whatever. Very many Of these
premises will be INTENDED for the greater
part Of the season, especially those of the
parkings which are kept in good condition
while the family Is at home will be neglect
ed. the grass will grow tall, weeds will en-
croach upon the turf and the lack Of water
will give things generally shabby ap-
pearance. Those citizens who have a
thought for the appearance Of their prem
ises, whether they are present or not, hire
the services of men who make a business
of cutting and sprinkling the lawns of alb
sentees This costs trifie and yields ex-
cellent results. If every Washington house
not actually occupied during June. July and
August were thus attended, the city's ap-
pearance would be bettered by many per
cent. If the stay-at-home head OF the
house does not himself feel equal to the
task of thus caring for the parking he
should certainly not neglect his duty to his
neighbors and to the community at large
when the expenditure of very small
amount will maintain the standard of neat
ness and beauty of every block.

The National Game.

1t needs but a glance at the sporting
pages" of the newspapers published today
and yesterday to convince even the most
skeptical that base ball is the truly Ameri-
can game. 1t is impossible to ascertain
the exact number of games played be-
tween teams of all grades of excellence.
both professional and amateur, in the diff
ferent cities of this country. The scores
of dozens of them are printed in each
of the papers from every large east
ern city and even the lists given do not
include all that were played by prearrange-
ment. 1t is a safe estimate that at least
ten thousand ball games were played yes
terday in the United States, and this figure
may be very far below the fact. That
means the participation of 10000 men and
boys In the actual sport itself at the least
calculation. with an attendance of probably
more than a million people The eleven
games played in the two major leagues,
five being prevented by rain. drew a total
of over 81 900 people, while the thirty-seven
games in the minor leagues of the first
class in different circuits throughout the
country must have drawn fully 100000 in
all. These figures of the attendance at
the professional games represent a very
large expenditure, while the attendance at

a wholesome. hearty interest in the local
rivalries. sometimes collegiate. sometimes

trades and professions. neighborhoods and
institutions. The spirit of rivalry was in
the air good, healthy competition. Each
of the thousands of teams strove hard for
victory. Each participant showed the re-
suits of more or less preparation in the way
Of physical training. There were some ac-
cidents, of course. but the percentage was
very small. and the net result of the train
ing and the play cannot be otherwise than
beneficial. No other sport approached base
ball for popularity yesterday. Just as 1t is
a perfectly safe prediction that no game
will ever displace 1t from its present hold
upon the affections of the great masses of
the American people.

The Mcclellan Speech.

To what extent will the Presidents Get

We have been told that the speech at An

his son a powerful factor in the presiden-
tiaI equation If the democracy would only
improve the occasion. the old soldiers

ance proceeding from such an influence. IT.

AS Henry Watterson points out. this is
about the size of the present Cleveland
boom. If he Is the only man his party can
elect. and 1t elects him again. he will vir-
tually become President for life. He is
man of vigor at sixty-eight, and promises,
the country is glad to believe. to be man
of vigor at seventy-two. If the third-term
tradition is shattered in his case then there
will be nothing to prevent his remaining in
office as long as he lives. He likes the
place. and. with tho patronage that goes

Mr.. Cleveland would find General Diaz
very interesting and informing In personal
conversation on this subject. He would
gather many points of value as to a life

of success at st. Louis. and. later. at the
polls. to shape his course toward Mexican

Consumption From Street Dust.

From the New York Tribune.
statement has been made within the
last few days that from one-fifth to one
third of the men employed in cleaning the
streets of this city contract tuberculosis.
If this is at all worthy of belief. 1t would
appear that street cleaning is fully as dan
gerous as the manufacture of white lead
for paint, or matches in whose production
phosphorus Is employed and perhaps that
of gunpowder. Sanitarians have for years
been familiar with the facts that dust, indoors
and out. usually carries with 1t the germs
of many diseases. and to notable degree
those of pulmonary consumption. which are
accounted for by the careless expectoratton
of sufferers from tuberculosis. Every one
who goes about the streets on a windy day
Is liable to inhale scores perhaps hundreds
of these mischief makers. The notion that
street sweepers are exposed to this peril
to greater degree than the majority of
other people is comparatively new de-
velopment, but 1t is perfectly ineligible.
Moreover 1t adds a new reason for the
adoption of such preventive measures as
may be found to be practicable. :

secret that the Japanese commander Is
bent at present upon that end. Thus far
in the war there have been two distinct
conflicts in force, that at the Yalu and
that at Kinchou. In both the Japanese
generals massed sufficient numbers in such
positions that victory was won. In both

impression that the mikado's men are win
