No Let-Up or Laxitv!

In conducting their campaign against the
handbooks in this District II is assuredly
incumbent upon the police and the repre-
sentatives of the district attorney to be
thorough in their preparations to insure
convictions in cases of known guilt To this
end there should be no haphaz ard reliance
upon the testimony of casual witnesses
whose recollection of facts may become
weakened by time and pressure. There is
no question about the fact that handbooks
have fiourished here of late or that they
can be detected in operation by shrewd
work. Abortive prosecutions, however. will
do harm rather than good. Nothing will
serve to restore confidence to the gambling
fraternity more surely than the failure of
a few cases in court, indicating either
that the crusade is not sincere or that the
arm of the law is not long enough to reach
the offenders. There must be no doubt
about the sincerity of the effort to stamp
out this evil. Public sentiment is thoroughly
aroused on the subject and any laxity or
Indifference in the application of the law
will be Immediately and sharply resented
by the community.

The Quebec Bridge Disaster.

For various reasons the collapse of the
great St Lawrence cantilever bridge near
Quebec is TO be deeply regretted. First of
oil. of course, is the heavy loss of life es-
timated at from seventy-five to eighty five
the victims being allmembers of the construc-
ton crew. Next is the failure OF the great
est bridge project of this type of construc-
tlon thus far undertaken. Furthermore
the delay in providing n more practica BILE
crossing for the railway lines entering Que
beo is unfortunate. Finally from tho
American point of view. one of the chief
mistortunes OF this disaster is that the de-
sign and workmanship OF the bridge have
been exclusively American. and this col
lapse Is certain TO cause severe reflections
abroad upon the western methods of engi-
neering work.
This bridge was designed as the greatest
exponent of the cantilever principle in the
world, with a center unsupported span of
1sOO feet, ninety feet longer than the great
spans of the Firth of Forth bridge. Ger
tain difficulties in the way OF securing a
proper foundation prevented the use of a
center pier and the division of the span. II

Watterson Insists on the Conspiracy.

Replying TO The Star. Mr.. Watterson in
ssts that the attentions TO Mr. Bryan
while the latter abroad last year by
the American ambassadors and ministers
were dictated by political considerations
He cites the fact that Van Buren, and
Pierce went abroad after serving in the
White House without receiving unusual
attentions, and then says:
In point of fact TIE only two Americans
who have been singled out for especial
attention In foreign lands have been Gen.
Grant and Mr.. Bryan, and it is idle to say
that in either case mere courtesy and kind
ness were the impelling motives. Each in
stance was made state affair-as in
Europe such things must be made-officially
arranged and carried out to the minutest
detail-in the case of Gen. Grant because he
was a great American soldier and a republic
can leader with Interior hopes-in the case
OF Mr.. Bryan because the republicans want
to keep him at the front safe and sure
man to defeat"
Now the case of Gen. Grant serves Mr..
Watterson's purpose no better than that of
Mr. Bryan. The Hayes administration was
in no sort of sympathy with the ''ulterior
hopes of Gen. Grant and his friends. Mr.
Evarts in the State Department, Mr. Sher-
man In the Treasury Department, and Mr.
Schurz in the Interior Department. were
was not the nominee In 1880, it was his in
fiuence which defeated the program for the
third nomination of Gen Grant Whatever
OF a presidential character the supporters
of the general expected from his tour
around the world, the Hayes administration
in arranging foreign receptions for the
great soldier rendered no Intentional aid
And again When Gen. Grant, on his re-
turn, landed at San Francisco, the leaders
of both parties on his trip across the con-
tinent We'd with each other in paying him
honor. Were the republicans grooming him
for the race next year. and were the demo-
Gratis slyly aiding them IN the hope that by
securing the third term as an issue they
would be paving the way for a democratic
victory?
Why, one of Gen. Grants hosts in that
memorable journey was Mr.. Watterson
himself. At Louisville the famous editor
entertained the great captain at dinner,
and the occasion was unusually feictous.
For not only was a democratic leader pay
Ing his compliments to a republican leader
but gallant Confederate soldier was Offer
Ing his bread and salt in sincere personal
friendship to that commander of the Union
armies who had sent the southern Con-
federaCy to its long home. II there was
any conspiracy afoot then, Mr.. Watterson,
We may be sure, was no party to it.
Mr. Watterson overlooks the fact that Mr..
Bryan needs no assistance from the re-
pu5licans in keeping at the front. He holds
his place in his party with ease and like
veteran He is the best advertiser since
Rarnum. 1t Is to be doubted that if the
mountains themselves were to fall on him
they long could hide him.

scientific examination Of the wreckage.
whether the collapse was due to the lack
Of such center support or was incident to
the use of coor materials or to an under
estimate of strains. In this connection it is
perhaps significant that one OF the chief
problems in the designing OF the bridge has
been declared to be the fact that the steel
was manufactured at great distance from
the scene of use and had to be transported
by rail to the st. Lawrence. This condition
necessitated care in planning the great
members to permit their carriage, and GER
tain sacrifices were undoubtedly made to
this end in the matter of size. Whether
this policy led to any weakening of the
members Is for the experts summoned by
the dominion government to determine.
The cantileyer construction has always
been a marvel to the untechnical mind
There seems something uncanny and I'M
natural about the process Of building
bridge out into the air, apparently without
support. Yet so highly developed is the art.
so nicely calculated are weights and strains.
that cantilevers have been built in large
numbers and in the most difficult circum-
stances without difficulty. The collapse Of
the Quebec structure is the first of record
in the case of construction of large d.
mansions.
The cantlever is based upon a system of
balancing and bracing, the extending arm
of the bridge being supported by its own
trusses as it is thrust far out over the
river or ravne which 1t Is to cross. 1t IS
securely linked to shore anchorage. which
exerts a counterbalancng effect upon the
apparently unsupported member. When the
center of the span space Is reached stimuli
taneously by the approaching ends they
are Joined into a compact structure, and
gain, in addition to the support of their
shore anchorages, and integral strength,
somewhat the security of an arch, mas
much as the center-ward thrust is compen-
stated. In the case Of the Quebec bridge
the usual difficulties of construction were
increased by the fact that the structure
when finished would be exposed to severe
winds, and there was need of devices to
meet and resist the side strains of air pres
sure In addition to the vertical strains Of
structural weight and of use.
1t is to be hoped that the prestige Of
American bridge builders will not be seri-
ously injured by this disaster. Our steel
manufacturers have recently come under
some degree of suspicion in the matter of
railroad rail rolling. but there has been no
indictment of the structural steel makers
on the score Of dangerous economies OF
poor workmanship The technical world
Will await the results Of the investigation
at Quebec with the keenest interest.

Richard Mansfield.

Richard Mansfield, whose death is an
nounced today, was for years one of the
foremost of American actors, a man of
undoubted genius and a personality so
strong as to impress himself deeply upon
the dramatic traditions Of the period. His
powers of stage portraiture were remark
ably seconded by an exceptional capacity
for organization. and although marked by
certain pecuitarities Of temperament. he al
ways succeeded in producing theatrical at
fractions Of the highest artistic merit In
his stage management and assembiage he
was materially assisted by a native taste
for the beautiful. He was a master of
scenic effect. and he did much to establish
the high standard of stage completeness
that marks the dramatic productions Of
the present.
There was considerable likeness in some
especially inasmuch as both men developed,
along with their art. eccentricities of enun-
citation and mannerisms which in q meas
ure detracted from the full perfection of
their work. The strongest characteristic
of Mansf1eld's stage career was his ear
nestness and sincerity. He tolerated no lax
ness, insisting always upon the best work
of all who surrounded him. He was
hard taskmaster to his support because he
was exacting in details.
The career of Mansfield was romantic,
marked by an early struggle for bare live
lihood. several shifts of pursuit and finally
emergence into comic opera, in which field
he succeeded, through the possession of an
excellent singing voice and an artistic
method of work. But there was a deep Sc
robustness in the man which led him even
tually away from the lighter productions
of the stage, until toward the close of his
active life he produced chiefly tragic plays,
almost morbid in their gloom
1t may not be doubted that hard work
and the acknowledgment Of his taste for
the somber caused Mansfield's premature
breakdown. His nervous system could not
Withstand the strain of continuous con-
structive and productive work. Had he
been less Jealous for his art he might have
carried the heavy burden which he grad
ually piled upon himself.
Probably most Americans will recall
Mansfield for his 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" play of dual temperament which
appealed strongly to popular approval
through its presentation of a mystic theme
But there are others who prefer to remem-
Der him in his lighter role, as Prince Karl
and Beau Brummell. In his later phase
came Cyrano, the Shakespeare tragedies,
in which he shone with varying brilliance.
and finally his remarkable production of
Peer Gynt." 1t was the last-named crea-
ton which is believed to have made the
breaking demand upon his nervous system
and led to his collapse In the midst of the
season last year.
The American stage owes much to Mans
field not only for his contribution Of many
highly artistic productions. but for the I'M
pulse which he gave to the elevation of the
drama upon a high plane of artistic and
scholarly thoroughness.
