A Wise Decision.

By yielding to the protests of the citizens
of Bloomingdale who objected to the loea-
ton of the District stables opposite the
new pumping station and reservoir, the
Commissioners have given evidence of a dis
position to conform to wen-defined public
opinion in the matter Of public improve
ments and in the meeting of necessities.
Their present course Is eminently wise for
various reasons. In the first place the man
ner in which the site was selected at the
outset was not conducive to the mainte-
the public officials which should always be
conserved by the authorities. The objec-
lions to the site on sanitary we'll as
esthetic grounds, furthermore, were sub
stantial and impressive. Taken altogether,
the resembling of the first choice of the site
was desirable, and the Commissioners are
to be congratulated upon having avoided
of the residents of large and rapidly grow
ing section of the capital. The Star con-
graduates the latter upon the vigorous and
intelligent manner in which they met the
issue, and trusts that in picking another site
the Commissioners will seek to avoid OBJ
truding the stable upon the occupants of a
strictly residential section, and especially
of being developed into one of the beauty
spots Of Washington. There are many avail
able sites which meet the practical needs
without imposing hardship upon the neigh
bors.

French Troubles.

Now France has come to face an acute
crisis in its affair with the municipal
strikers of the southern provinces. domi-
mated by the wine growers. The revolt has
assumed serious proportions. Acts of vio-
lence numerous and the peasants are
growing in daring. The government how
ever. has somewhat tardily adopted the
policy O. repression and has moved to
check the growth of the municipal strike.
The mayor of Narbonne. who had resigned
his Office and blocked the wheels of the
municipal machinery, was arrested today.
but only after the government had made
strong show of troops and awed the people
into submission. The real leader of the
revolt, Albert, has thus far escaped ar
rest. though pursued by officers with a war
rant. The peasants have facilitated his
flight by destroying bridges in advance of
the troops who are securing the country.
His flight probably signifies the collapse of
the revolutionary movement, unless the
troops refuse to obey orders or the 1eople
rise in overwhelming masses. In the abb
sence of their leader, however, there seems
to be little likelihood of continued resist
ance to the national authorities. Had the
government at Paris met the situation
earlier, as soon as the first signs of the
municipal revolt were discovered, there
would probably not have been such serious
trouble in the four wine provinces. 1t hest
tated about adopting military methods in
view of the fact that it had just won
victory over the striking sailors and long
shoremen by threatening the ruthless pun
ishment of all offenders against the naval
reserve laws Successive agitations have

the leading Frenchmen In the strength of
the republic. The church troubles. followed

have all tended to evoke bitter feeling

government. Premier Clemenceau. how

sagacity and courage in an emergency. He

Mayoralty Recount Now Assured.

Gov. Hughes of New York has signed the
bill which provides for a recount Of the
votes cast in the election of 1905, by which
Mayor Mcclellan was seated on the face OF
the returns. This ends another stage Of a
long and bitter contest and leads the case
up to the point of action. with the posi-
bilfty of important results. 1t puts the
mayor in the embarrassing position of hav-
ing opposed recount from the beginning
to no good end, whereas. If his title to the
Office was good, he might have cleared it
many months ago by consenting to full,
free count of the ballots At the same time
it puts Mr. Hearst in the awkward position
Of receiving the highest possible favor from
the man whom as candidate for governor,
he ridiculed and belttled. There is nothing
little or partisan in Gov Hughes memo
randum accompanying his signature of t
bill. He has written a statesmanlike paper
which commands immediate respect, but,
It may be remarked. which draws from Mr..
Hearst not solitary word of commentator
or thanks in the columns Of his newspapers.
The governor states the case properly
when he declares that the failure to settle
the doubts which cling to the nayoralty
election of 1905 has constituted a public
scandal, graveIy affecting the faith of the
purity Of the elections processes. He signs
this bill as a measure of plain justice, both
to the candidate whose title is in question
and to the other, whose claim to that title
has been refused fair test. His memo
randum Is precisely such as Mayor McClel-
Ian might himself with entire propriety
have written in Endorsement of the bill
when 1t went to him for consideration. In
fortunately for his reputation, the mayor
lodged the issue and evaded service in this
important connection, shifting to other
shoulders the burden of a futile veto.
Now, then, for the recount. II the sup

mayor becomes a law, a. undoubtedly It

until the contrary is proved. that the boxes
are intact. Should any be missing, how
ever, or show signs Of having been tam
pered with, there will be another public
scandal, graver far than even that caused
by the resistance for eighteen months Of

thousands of little folks are. thus intro
duced to conditions of life that they. would
otherwise never have known. and It may
not be doubted that they have become the
better citizens for these outings.
Mr.. Cops observations regarding the lin
itations placed by necessity upon the occu-
pations open to boys and girls in summer
worthy of consideration. In this con-
nection the suggestion has been advanced
that provision might be made for the en-
ployment OF a large number of Washing
toms youth on the nearby farms during the
summer season. Provided proper care were
exercised in the selection of the places, 1t
should be possible to distribute a large part
of the local boy population during the idle
term through Virginia and Maryland in cir
cumstances to insure them comfortable
homes. under good moral government with
sufficient freedom to enable them to enjoy
themselves and enough work to teach them
the advantage of being occupied as well as
to benefit them physically. Occasional WIS.,
its by parents or public guardians should
guarantee their good treatment and their
own good behavior.
Why should not Washington find such
openings in vacation for the boys who other
wise would probably run the streets for
three months? There is wide area of good
country stretching out all around the cap
ital, and assuredly there are many worthy
farmers into whose charge the youngsters
could be intrusted with advantage to both
Sides Such a system would give en1oya-
BILE and profitable summer outings to hun
dreds Of Washington boys who otherwise
would be compelled, through lack of family
means. to remain here exposed to the moral
dangers of unlimited freedom and continued
city contact.

to secure from the owner of the premises
orders requiring the policeman to stand
aside and allow the authorities to take pos

tends that the mayors Office is wherever
the mayor is. and declines to consider that
he has been deprived Of his title to the
mayoralty by Schmrtz' action. 1t is possible
that Schmitz will undertake to control the

Troup's Admission.

Alexander Troup OF Connecticut IS not
only one of the old Bryan guard. but one
of Mr. Bryan's closest friends. He is a
visitor at Lincoln, and runs out to confer
with his chief every time anything Of value
to the cause happens in the east. He saw
Mr.. Bryan at home not very long ago, and
presumably discussed with him the latest
phases of the presidential situation.
This intimacy lends to Mr.. Troup's latest
deliverance an unusual significance. Hear
him:
Even if Mr.. Bryan were nominated he
could not be elected at the present time
Circumstances may change, however. be-
fore the election next year. l consider MI
Bryan the most available man the demo-
Gratis could name. He would poll from
500. 900 to 100000 more votes than any
other candidate who might be nominated
Here at last is agreement on one point
Wall street asserts that Mr.. Bryan cannot
be elected. Mr.. Watterson asserts the
same thing. John Temple Graves is so
confidently of that opinion he proposes a
surrender and the support of Mr.. Roose-
Welt And now one of Mr.. Bryan's own
Heutenants admits that if the election
were held now his hero would be de-
feated.
Still. there is this difference. Wall street

that another nomination of him would sur
render the whole democratic case into
the hands of the populists and the social
lists. Mr.. Watterson holds that another
defeat under Mr. Bryan's leadership would
mean the humiliation of the democratic
party Mr.. Graves holds that the demoe-
racy, to be of value to the country, must
be born again, and therefore must die.
And 50 he proposes the funeral for next
year He would order the cerements for
the party by ratifyinE the nomination,
which he hopes will be made by the re-
publicans of Mr. Roosevelt for a third
term
