this city has fallen off so markedly of late
that the authorities have felt justified In
ordering the beach closed at once, Two
possible factors occur to mind one
Is the unusual GOODNESS of the season, espe-
cially during the past few days. Another
is the possible fear of the swimmers that
they may become infected with typhoid
fever by bathing in the Potomac waters at
the beach. OF these two the former reason
Is more likely to be popularity accepted. but
there is nevertheless a distinct fear on the
part OF some persons that bathing in the
Potomac water is dangerous.
No less than calamitous would be the
general spread of this belief. If the river
water at the bathing beach cannot be
safely entered for swim certainly the do
nestle bath tub is a source of possible In
lection. The only difference is that the
swimmer sometimes swallows water. where

state, considering the scarcity Of municipal
filtration plants and the almost invaria BILE
use OF untltered water for bathing.

officially declare that the use OF even In

PHILADELPHIA.

Mayor Weaver Of Philadelphia foregoes
his summer vacation to forward the cause
of reform in that town. Everything Is get
ting under way, and he wants to keep It
going. A very wise decision. Reforms
sometimes fail because of the leisureliness
and intermittent way in which they are
championed. 1t Is best to push them hard
once they are fairly started Mayor Weaver
has the municipal JOB of the day on his
hands. The affairs Of the City Of Brotherly
Love seem to have been conducted on the
principle OF brotherly gouge. and graft and
grafters. repeaters at the polls and their
employers stain the record in every direc-
ton. To clean up the town will require
the united efforts of all who have Its inter-
ests at heart and the mayor properly sets
an example OF diligence in the work from
which all are to benefit

that he has something In hand worth the
while of the magnate.
Here is where the men of money and in
plosion. from disagreement and perhaps
from death They are constantly arousing
personal animosities without even knowing
the names OF those who breathe vengeance
upon them. IT. needless to search long In
ina gina ton for a motive for the destruc-
ton of Messrs Schif and Guggenheimer,
who have just been honored by the atten-
tions of some unknown wretch. This man,
whoever he Is. may be safely classed as
with the insane criminals who think to
revenge personal wrongs or to cure public
evils by assassination. The silly methods
they employ are a. sufficient testimony to
take, without effect. to ensure the destruc-
ton OF their intended victims may be re-
garded as an evidence.
There is little chance to detect such
scoundrels or unfortunates, or whatever
they may be termed. Gessler Rousseau,
the man who sent dynamite to trans
Atlantic steamship, would never have been
caught had he not tried later to destroy
the statue of Frederick the Great in this
city. Usually all the police can do Is to
wait until one of these people becomes over
bold and exposes himself. Meanwhile the
anonymous bombs and Internal machines
will continue to pass through the malls and
well-trained clerks will continue to detect
them in time, and the great world of busi-
ness will roll on uninterrupted.

Water and Other Things

The victory of the prohibition element at
Astury Park. n. j.. as announced In the
news dispatches yesterday, is encouraging
to those persons who feel that the use of
water should not be restricted to squeichng
confiagrations. making steam for the pro-
pulsion of machinery. promoting the growth
of crops and sustaining warships and ex-
cGrs.on boats There are those persons
whose regard for water leads them to be-
heve that its use should not be limited to
toilet purposes. fountains and canals. In
short there are many persons who believe
in drinking 1t. or course, all persons do
not consider water a palatable beverage.
Every man numbers among his acQuaint-
ance men who scorn water even as a chaser
There is a great difference in the tempera-
ment of men. While there are some whose
belief in the charms of water Is SO sincere
that they cannot pass beer sign without
getting the blind staggers. there are 9TH
ers whose antipathy to water Is strong

Mr.. Bryan in the Philippines.

Says the New tribune.
Mr.. Bryan will take in the Philippines on
his trip around the world. What pity he
could not have been member of Secretary
Taft's congressional party, and thus have
been able to enjoy the Hon. Bourke
Cockran's speech in Manila and perhaps
make one himself!
Mr.. Bryan will speak later. and his re-
marks will lose nothing Of interest by the
DELAY. When he arrives In Manila the news
of his presence will quickly spread. and the
desire to see and hear him there and els"-
where will be very strong Here. the people
will be told. is the man who. candidate
for President, stood In 1900 for the early
independence of the archipelago who again
advocated It last year In his canvass for
Judge Parker and who may be the demo-
cratic candidate for President for the third
time in 1898. 1t requires no urging to In
duce Mi Bryan to take the platform. and 1t
must he said In his favor that whenever he
does take il he speaks his mind with frank
ness However lacking he may be In wis
dom he Is not lacking In courage or sim
certify.
But IL will be a ticklish situation for him.
Suppose he addresses meetings at Manila
and other cities In the islands proclaiming
the views with respect to our presence there
and the meaning of 1t that he has freely
proclaimed in this country. Suppose the
effect of his utterances Is to hearten every
anti-Amercan agitator In the archipelago
and induce them all to get busy again. sup
pose American difficulties with the malcon-
tents Increase and are traceable to MI
Bryan's perfervid talk about buying people
at so much head. and governing them. not
only without their consent but against their
wishes That is the line of Mr. Bryans talk
here at home and it does harm. In the
Philippines it might prove a very grave
matter.
Bourke Cochran at Manila cut charac-
teristic caper. He throws hipfiaps ike a
professional. But Mr. Bryan is Of a differ
ent mold. He does not recant- He IS dead
in earnest, and goes all rhetorical and other
lengths IN support of his opinions. He Will
have to be interpreted to the rank and file
of the Filipinos but his deliverances will
lose nothing in the translation into Spanish.
His visit to the Philippines is going to be as
interesting to us here at home as to him.

The Norfolk Horror.

Despite the fact that every man and
woman who travels on the railroads in the
United States is vitality interested in the
solution of the Norfolk wreck mystery.
there is a large chance that the great ma
jority OF the people will never know the
exact circumstances Of the affair or ever
learn of the measures administered in pun
iskment or reform.
This Is one of the greatest weaknesses In
the public defenses against disaster. The
people soon forget the wrecks and appar-
emily the railroad authorities profit from
them only slightly. The Individual road or
division on which wreck occurs that
teaches lesson may apply that lesson in
the form of preventive measures, but there
is no general tendency toward adopting
these measures broadly.
There is some doubt as to the exact nature
of the signals that were displayed at the
entrance to the drawbridge through which
the excursion train plunged. One report Is
that red flag was set in a standard to
show the engineer that the draw was open.
but that the flag had faded. being old, and
was not distinctly to be recognized as
danger signal. Another story is that the
engineer had never before been over that
section Of the road. and did not know there
was bridge at that point a most extra
ordinary story, indeed, and If true. war
ranting severe measures of discipline high
er up" to punish those responsible for send
ing out a green hand in charge of human
lives.
The automatic cutoff, which will abso-
lutely prevent the passing of trains upon a
prohibited block or bridge is imperatively
needed as a measure of precauton. Until
1t comes and Is forced into use by law, even
as the airbrake and the hand hold are be-
ing forced into use on freight trains, there
must be reliance upon the individual train
workers, conductors, engineers and flag
men. and as long as that is the case there
will be wrecks and deaths Not even the
positive requirement to bring all trains to
halt before entering drawbridses. adopted
by some of the states by statute. will al
ways work. for engineers will continue to
take chances. The protection of the public
will not be perfect until 1t becomes physi-
cally impossible to send a train into dan
ger from collision or an open bridge.
