1t Is evident from what has heretofore
been published in regard to the Commits
sioners' activity to insure public security
from fire in the local theaters that they are
disposed to take full warning from the
Chicago fire to insist upon a strict account
ing in the execution Of their orders given
prior to that disaster. The directions con-
corning changes given to several OF the
theaters where the ordinances are not fully
satisfied disclose high standard. But
it cannot well be too high The resolution
adopted by the Senate yesterday calls upon
the Commissioners for information concern
ing these fire dangers and fire precautions.
A full reply to this inquiry will disclose all
that has been done before and after the
Chicago fire. It will doubtless be the SEN
ate's pleasure to learn that the local au-
thorities have safeguarded the public well
fare in this respect far more distinctly than
did the authorities of Chicago during the
months and years preceding the Iroquois
Theater fire.

A Philadelphia Expansion Scheme


A movement for a sudden and great

Gently been begun. quite appropriately In

Usually such oity-enlargement schemes
have been based upon the desire of tho city

in New York and In Chicago and in Bos-

prise 10 Of quite different character. The
outlying towns and counties named for in
clarsion are taking the initiative. They want
to creep under the skirts of the big town in
order that they may have protection from
ths maievolent elements which now infest
tire suburbs of Philadelphia.
The project Is to include within the urban
area the entire counties Of Montgomery
and Delaware. comprising the city Of Ches-
ter and the towns of Ashbourne. Ogontz.

Mr.. Platt Is not as young as he was
thirty years ago, but If we may safely Judge
him by the speech he made in this town at
dinner given in his honor last night he
Is still young man and still possesses the
qualities OF leadership. His remarks were
full of snap and judgment. and were strict

from any source a clearer appraisement Of
the political situation. or a more resonant
call to battle. His party. as he plainly Sees

that 1t is widely distributed.

Now 1t would appear from the outline as
just given that the business of the steel
trust Is falling Off and that the cost of
maintaining the financial structure Is in

the statement that the untitled orders on
hand December 81, 1908. totaled 3.215,OO0
tons as against 5.347 600 tons the year be-
fore. 1t Is easy for the public to understand
that even IL the business falls Off the fixed
charges remain unchanged. The bonds
stand as first lien against the properties
and must be satisfied whether the mills turn
a wheel or not. But Just why the business
should fall OF and the fixed charges, the
peculiar results Of Morganeering, should in

assumption that meanwhile Chicago, which
Is now second, does not take in some new
territory or develop a remarkable rate OF

course Of decade to 2.5O0J0O0 1t assuredly

There are. Of course. wide stretches OF

but 1t is thought that If the city's system
OF police Is extended these places will grow
much more freely than they have hereto

the past few years from thieves and thugs,
who have piled their trade with practically
no hindrance from the inadequate con-
stabulary of the suburbs. The eonsofida-

Tammany is now fairly well settled in

more free and easy than at any time for
two years. The reaction from the COMPARE

Of them open. The assumption is that the
owners of the other thirty-fve were either
out of town or lacked the nerve to open for
business.
This heavy percentage of open saloons
does not explain, but makes more interest
ing the fact. as disclosed In the news re-
ports of Monday last. that there were no
excise convictions in the local courts that
day. True, one patrolman did report that
a certain dispenser Of liquor served him
with drink during the small hours of Sun
day morning, when he thought to try the
game But the proprietor declared that the
drink was not whisky. as claimed by the
policeman. but orange bitters. and accord
ingly was discharged. This solitary at.

Impression that the policemen, whether by

This will doubtless be the continuing
story. The success Of the 3S5 out Of 40
saloon keepers who opened on Sunday last
Will. of course, be an encouragement not
only TO the remaining IS of this lot and to
all the other saloon keepers who were not
covered by the investigation. but 1t will
stimulate the gamblers and other vicious
classes whose operations have heretofore
been attended with a certain amount of
DANCE. To be sure. there Is yet Mr. Jerome
the reform district attorney to reckon with
and he is no negligible factor. But with
the police force as passive ally these
gentry can expect to reap a fair harvest at
small risk of punishment.

The action of the directors of the steel

bends on the common stock OF that corpora
ton has occasioned no great surprise for
the recent extraordinary slump In the mar
ket price OF that security has been accepted
as forecasting this step. But II was not
generally expected that the financial state
ment issued to accompany and explain the
discont,nuance of dividends would reveal
such serious state of Affairs. The total
net earnings. It appears, have in the past
year been very near S25 600 600 less than the
year before. and the balance of the net
earnings after deducting the fixed charges
has fallen off little more than that
amount, the fixed charges themselves hay
ing Increased by about half million The
chief item of this increase in the charges is
a growth from 1924 600 to 81, $50 600 in the

is also an increase Of about "a, 600 900 In the

Mr.. oloev and Cuba.

This philosophical gem is taken from MI.
Olnsy's speech to Tammany Monday night
nominating Mr.. Cleveland for President:
Nations. like individuals, will have their
spasms Of excitement. their emotlonal ana
ungovernable moods. which set at defiance
all their normal habits of thought and ac-
ton The American people have now been
undergoing that experience Tor the larger
part Of two presidential terms-a period Dig
with consequences. and which, beginning
with the needless war over Cuba, has now
eliminated in a flaRrantly wanton war upon
Colombia"
Nations of excitabls temperament, like
individuals. should not be played upon to
the extent Of goading them into fury. II
the second Cleveland administration had
carried itself properly in the matter OF
Cuba there would have been no war with
Spain. But 1t dawdled along in fashion
most exasperating both hero and in Cuba.
The situation in the island was we'll known
everywhere. 1t was a disgrace to Spain.
and hurtful in many ways to us. The
American people wanted 1t terminated, and
1t is no secret that Fitzhugh Lee at Ha-
vana had no sort Of sympathy with the
course Of his official superiors here. But
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney were immov-
able. and Spain, taking heart, frightened her
screws to the utmost. Weyler had every
body In reach penned UP. and was starving
the population to death.
No administration ever inherited q more
difficult or hideous problem than that Of
Cuba. made so by Mr.. Cleveland and his ad-
visers. Spain did not doubt that things
would go on as BEFORE that Mr.. Mckinley
would continue Mr.. Cleveland's policy Of
Indifference and non-interference, and that
at some period in the future Cuba would be
starved and trounced into submission.
Senior de LONE encouraged this Idea in his
personal and official letters home. But that
was a mistake costly for Spain. There was
a limit to the patience OF the American
people. and when 1T at last was reached
they stood as one man In favor Of driving
Spain out Of territory which she had so
long. and persistently. and horribly mis-
governed. When the storm broke there
was rivalry as to which party should move
the more speedily. Many of the republican
leaders were impatient with Mr.. Mckinley
who had to get ready to strike. and the
democrats afterward claimed that they had
to drag the republicans into the war by the
"scruff Of the neck" Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Olney did not feel this pulse, for both
were at that time without party
THE needless war over Cuba? Let Mr.
Olney consult William J. Bryan, who vol
unteered to help fight for Cuba; or let him
consult William r. Hearst, at present an
active candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for President Of the United States
or the men who in Congress in the spring
or 1898 led the democratic party in that
body.
