Tenement Dangers.

sons, and possibly more. illustrates one Of
the great dangers involved in life in the
metropolis to which cities which have more

congestion are not exposed In many parts

without at least many serious injuries.
When flames are present the loss of life is
inevitable.
Not only when the occupants become ex-
cited. but in normal circumstances, these
tenements are desperately dangerous They

pathized with Dreyfus. He had suffered
great agony of mind. He had been long
separated from his family. He had endured
the deepest humiliation to which man
can be subjected. He was tired out TO
him a pardon meant liberty, reunion with
his family, surcease from the anxieties of
legal processes. He accepted the govern
ment's offer and retired to his home, the
mere shadow of his former self.
Both Picquart and Labori were chagrined
by his action, for they had hoped he would
continue the fight and secure a second
reversal of the court-martial verdict. and
thus establish the supremacy of the civil
over the military court processes. They
were seeking the maintenance of a prin
c!ple. Dreyfus was seeking personal lib
srty. Dreyfus felt that he had been NOR
ally If not legally vindicated trusting to
the reversal Of the first court-martial find
ing by the court Of cessation as a suff-
cient clearance of his name. 1t was not
until last year that he was enabled. through
political changes to lay his case finally be-
fore the court Of cessation, and that body
swept away the last remaining vestiges of
doubt by declaring him innocent on all
charges. The government thereupon re-
stored him to his rank as major. and he
entered upon the discharge of his duties.
But opportunities came for his ad-
vancement in rank. and passed without re-
suit, Dreyfus began to feel the effect of the
displeasure of the secretary of war, his for
mer champion, who had endangered his
own military standing and even his own
liberty in his behalf. Gen. Picquart was
wholly Indifferent to the fact that Dreyfus
was morally entitled to the further vindica-
ton comprised In the action of promotion.
He could not forget that Dreyfus had de-
clined to accept his advice at the time 1t
was rendered and had accepted pardon.
FrutlesS efforts were made by friends to
adjust this affair. and. finally. Dreyfus, feel
ing that he could expect no more from the
French government has asked to be placed
on the retired list
1t would have been much more to the
credit of Gen. Pcquart if he had gracefully
acknowledged the situation by rendering a
promotion to Dreyfus and thus demonstrate
ing that he could adjust to difficulty as
well as face one with great courage.

Hill as q Farmer.
Here is something pleasant:

Gov. Hughes and former Gov. David B.
Hill are old lawyer friends Gov. Hughes
on several evenings since his Inauguration
has been Mr.. Hills guest at Wolfert's
Roost. Mr.. Hill Is out of politics, but ever
and always he retains his interest in public
affairs. Outside of his farm, which he su-
perintends In overalls and SLOUGH hat, and
his law cases, Mr.. Hill is ready at given
moment to discuss politics and public poll
Giles past, present and prospective"
Mr. Hill in granger attire must present an
interesting appearance, and in this day Of
universal snap-shotting the wonder Is that
some enterprising kodaker has not caught
and exhibited him thus dressed to an ad-
miring public. The news of this farm
would be important II its owner and super
ntendent were still in the political ring.
Then we should all want to know about the
crops. the number OF hands employed. the
wages paid them. and all that. Cincin-
natus today must turn from the pillow, and
then face an interviewer ABOUT how much
of farmer he really is. Details are de-
manded.
We may all believe that when he lays off
his rustic togs and blows the straw from
between his lips Mr.. Hill Is ready to talk
politics. While on top of ground he will
remain of that humor The law and farm
ing really side lines. There Is money
in the one and recreation in the other. but
happiness to a man like Mr.. Hill comes
alone from politics. Happiness Is where
the heart Is, and Mr.. Hilrs heart has al
ways been in politics. Politics is his sweet
heart. and has never had rival.
Attractive the place is Wolfert' 8
Roost must be dull these times. The mas
ter looking abroad on the political world
sees only wreckage and confusion. In his
own state, Organism and Hearstism and
Wall street are contending for what re-
mains of the democratic party. He has no
sympathy with either faction. He has CO.
a pinch, but never with q relish; and
Hearstism cannot be to his taste. He has
not where politically to lay his head
Housed physically with every comfort, he
curls up politically with nothing over his
head.
He Is counted out of the game. but as he
is in health and talking politics he may not
remain out. There may be another try or
two in him yet. Office, of course, is out of
the question. He has had all the honors
but that of the presidency, and that is be-
yond him. His hopes for the highest place
perished in 1892, when his party refused to
nominate him even at New York's instance.
Since then he has been but an adviser, with
his advice oftener rejected than accepted.
But as the plot for the control of New York
in the next national democratic convention
thickens Mr. Hill may find a chance to take
q hand.

The Crisfield Lynching.
From the Baltimore Sun.

There are abundant reasons why the peo-
pie of Crisfeld should deplore the lynching
first place, the murderer would have been
hanged by due process Of law II the courts
had been left to deal with him Maryland
justice lacks, in such cases, neither swift
ness nor sureness. Reeds crime naturally
aroused the Indignation of the people Of
Crisfield. 1t was cold-blooded and afro
cious. His punishment would have been
speedy and condign. His life was for
feited to the law. and the extreme penalty
would have been imposed in an orderly
way in the regular course of the law. There
was, therefore, no reason why a mob
should have anticipated the action OF the
courts. II they resorted to lawlessness on
the principle of q life for a Hfe," their
violence was altogether unnecessary. The
crime for which they lynched Reed Is
usually punished by the extreme penalty in
Maryland

Gov. Glenn Going to New York.

Gov Glenn has been invited to Brook
lyn by a democratic club to speak on the
railroad controversy in North Carolina.
and has accepted. An audience of ten
thousand Is assured and If up-to-date
advertising methods are used the number
should reach twenty thousand Such a
midsummer attraction" should go"
with whirl.
This looks like politics. and is politics.
he Brooklynites are striking while the
iron is hot. They want to see and hear
from Gov. Glenn while his claim of VIC
tory is fresh upon him. AS he is a demo-
Crat. they hail his action as partisan, and
want to utilize it. Come over" is the
substance of their invitation, and tell us
ali about It. Maybe you are the man we
are looking for in our hunt for a sue
CessOr to Bryan"
Gov. Glenn's acceptance was in the
nature Of things. Feeling compimented.
he was Immediately "agreea ble." But
he will probably not strengthen his case
ct home by this move. The question,
with his acquiescence.' is now in court.
and on the road to a decision there. His
action was not partisan, it Is to be sup
posed. but taken as the executive Of all
the people The law that had been
brought INTO dispute was on the DOCKS,
and must. he insisted, be respected with
all the other laws-a position strong in
itself, no matter what differences existed
as TO the laws wisdom or constitutional
tty. An arrangement to that effect has
been made, and everybody should calmly
await the result of the appeal that has
been takenro the proper legal tribunal
For this reason IL does not appear best
to star Gov. Glenn as a political at
traction. 1t will detract both from the
dignity and the force of his true posi-
ton. As he is playing no partisan game,
he should not permit partisans to take
credit for his work, or attempt to de-
yelop him as a partisan quantity The
whole matter in it's essence is so high and
important 1t should not, pending its
course through the courts, be juggled
With for political purposes.
This Brooklyn move is. of course, not
a Wall street move. Gov. Glenn's portrait
will not be limned by the Belmont
Ryan people for a place on the line with
those OF Culberson. Gray. Daniel and
others He does not meet their idea of
that good southern man who should be
put Forward to take the wind out of Mr.
Bryan's sails, and turn the democracy

Mr. Whitney shaped platforms and made
nominations.

ers in decent quarters. Tenement house
rules and laws are violated with impunity.
Stairways are cluttered with trash. and
fire escapes are almost invariably choked
with boxes bundles, often baby carriages.
1t Is a familiar joke that the tenement
house dweller, when supposedly protected
from disease by carefully drawn sanitary
laws, invariably prefers to use his bath tub
as coal bin to putting 1t to It's normal en-
ployment.
The great difficulty in such a situation,
apart from official incompetence or corrup-
ton, is that the congestion Is so great that
1t is next to impossible to enforce the laws.
Furthermore. tae jewellers in these human
hives are In large measure foreigners who
know little of the English language and
have acquired none of the American regard
for the rules OF personal decency. They
swarm together like insects, and resent any
intrusion or inquiry. They are naturally
secretive. and are made more so by their
unfamiliarity with the conditions now sur
rounding them. They are suspicious of all
officials.
Washington has no such tenement prob
lem. It has, to be sure, a good many I'M
slightly spots where the moral and physical
conditions demand remedial attention
While there is no place here where such
disaster as that just reported from. New
York could occur. the foul places must be
purified and the standards kept high to
prevent the growth Of any other form Of
tenement danger such as those that render
life in dense center extremely precarious
We should have here model system Of
housing the poor and to that end various
forces are now being concentrated, with an
excellent prospect of success.

PLAYING With Fire

NOW comes DR.. John b. Watson pro-
lessor OF psychology in the University OF
chicago. as an aspirant for presidential de-
nunciation. He heads deliberately toward
the nature faker class. He IS going at the
JOB with his eyes open. OF course he has
heard Of Dr. Long. and OF course he knows
what he Is risking when he offers his latest
contribution to nature lore. Here is the
dispatch which narrates the results OF Dr.
Natson's researches in the Dry Tortugas
Islands, OFF the coast OF lower Florida:
Prof. Watson declares that the -seagulls
on the Islands have a language of their
own. which can be initiated by human
being. and live in family groups In es-
pecially built nest houses; that they really
think when In quest of food and give I'M
CSuai evidence OF reasoning power

Their governmental affairs. but that the

leaders are not permitted to interfere with
the government. Everything is conduct ed
In an orderly manner.
oder birds educate their young to fly
and hunt food BY system, he asserts
The fact that the distinguished naturalist
row sojourning at oyster Bay has never
written a book about sea gulls Is no as
sGrance that he is not qualified as an ex-
pert on the subject. He has had ample
opportunity to watch the gulls Of Long
Island sound for many years. Who knows
how many hours he has been putting in
lately sitting on the beach near Sycamore
HIN and noting the habits of these birds :?
Visitors have been kept at distance. Some
reports have had II that the President was
haying Others have had him working on
his message. Still others have attributed
his silence TO tremendous effort to think
out an adequate punishment for Hartman
But the chances favor another theory and
II that theory Is correct Dr. John B. Wat
son will shortly hear something decidedly
to his disadvantage.

Farm Schools and Lot Gardening.

From the Duluth News-Tribune.
II New York would take the surest and
the quickest remedy 1t should establish a
farm school near its metropolis where prac-
tfcal agriculture would be taught to young
and old for twelve months every year. This
should be used as medium for graduating
people from the city back to the land. 1t
should be worked in harmony with an ex-
tenslve system Of vacant lot gardening, and
there should be a fund to help the poorer
classes to secure land.
