A Warning to Democrats.

Listen to John r. Moran who at
one time was called the Jerome of
Boston who may run again this year
for Governor of Massachusetts. and
who is the district attorney for Suf-
folk county:
1T is pretty generally understood
that when the democrats assemble in
Faneuil Hall at an early day for the
purpose of choosing delegates to the
national convention at Denver, there
rs likelihood of repetition of the
scenes of disorder which cha ract crized
; last falls state convention at Spring
field.
The democratic delegates want to
bear in mind that when they meet in
Faneuu Hall they will be in Suffolk
county. and that the laws of the COM
nonweaith make II a crime for certain
kinds Of conduct in any public meeting
convention or church. gathering.
Before ] leave for the south | in
tend to instruct my assistant to confer
with the commissioner of police and to
act with him. for the purpose of hav-
ing the convention conducted ir ac-
cordance with the law.
This is praiseworthy Boston is A
light unto the world in the matter of
decorum. and at this time in particular
should be on the best behavior. The
spirit OF disorder is widespread Lynch
ers keep up their activity Night
riders are abroad and making the
nights hideous. Politicians through
out fine south are forming and Inform
ing party organizations while you
wait The country all but rocks with
incivility, violence and uncertainty.
Clearly. therefore. ii will behoove the
democrats of Massachusetts to have a
scare when they assemble in the capital
of the commonwealth to do business.

the Denver convention? Then will come
the question, Is Organism democracy?
With Mr.. Bryan as the candidate. the
platform must suit, and while Organism
is outlined today. it. later, may carry
some new features. Mr.. Bryan has few
cards up his sleeve which he is expected
to play at the national convention After
Denver, we shall all know what is to
pass, for four months at least, for de-
mocracy.
And while Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Cock
ran appear to be separated today. they
may come together again before the ma
tonal campaign is over. Neither is ada
mant. Both have shown the capacity to
bend before emergencies. Remember how
they supported Mr.. Hearst at Buffalo for
governor. and opposed him the next year
for mayor of Greater New York.

Bottles on the Stills.

A lesson may be found in the following
dispatch:
New York: Edward Briscoe. an auction
eer of 80 West 10th street, was standing
yesterday morning on the corner of 10th
street and Broadway in front of the Met
rOpolitan Opera House when he heard a
woman scream and looked up in time to
see milk bottle topple off a window
ledge above him. He didn't dodge quick
ly enough and was taken to the New York
Hospital with bad scalp wound and
possibly fracture of the skull.
This lesson should be conned by the
fiat jewellers and others who cumber
the stills even unto the 'steenth story with
milk bottles. other bottles. jelly jars, cans,
jugs and flower pots. When the wind
blows these things may drop. They often
do drop. 1t is a familiar sound in some
big apartment houses to hear a PUNK
and crash as some burden of window
sill smashes on the flags or concrete far
below.
If the window sill is to be converted into
refrigerator conservatory, the
treasures there should be boarded in or in
some way secured that they will not be
a menace to men who walk below.

Murphy and Cochran.

Charles r. Murphy dismsses Bourke
Cochran from Tammany Hall on the al
legation that the latter is not a demo-
crat. Mr. Cochran asks for definition
He has been cooperating with Mr.. Muir
ply in politics for some years and writing
platforms accepted by him as democratic.
and naturally wants TO know when, and
by what act. he forfeited fellowship. Not
easily puzzled. he is puzzled now.
Mr.. Murphy makes no reply. He is not
a man of words or definitions, but of
thought and action. who retres within
himself. and, after weighing things. issues
orders. Within the recesses OF his intel
lectual operations he has decided Mr.
Cockran's fate. and that ends matters so
far as he is concerned. If Mr.. Cochran
is curious and unhappy so much the
worse for him. How comes it that his
long experience in Tammany Hall has
not taught him to bow to authority with
out question or complaint? The thing for
him to do. now that he is notified of his
recreancy, is to repent and again become
a democrat.
But is this the time for the definition
Mr. Cochran requests? Can anybody give
it? What is democrat? A leading New
York newspaper has been quizzing the
country on the subject for months, with
out a satisfactory result. 1t has been a
free-for-all discussion, and the contribu-
lions have exhibited the liveliest confu-
sion Here and there some old fashioned
persian has dropped into old-faShioned
talk about Jefferson and Jackson. but in
the main tile talk has been such that
neither jefferson nor Jackson II alive
would indorse it.
Besides is it not fact that, at present
all definitions are subject to revision :?

Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign.

The medical and lay press generally
commend the offer of cash prizes and
gold and silver medals by the interna-
tional tuberculosis congress. which is to
meet i'm this city next fall, for exhibits
and models that show effective methods
of treatment and for exhibits submitted
by states that illustrate effective or
ganiZation against the spread of the white
plague Prizes will be offered for the
plans which have proved best in raising
money for the campaign against tubercu-
losis'
When the terrible toll in life sorrow
and money exacted from every COM
munity by the consumption scourge is
considered. and when it has been dem
onstrat,d that the disease is preventable
and often durable. it is astounding that
in some communities there is niggardli-
ness in raising money for combating
the evil
OF course. all persons have not yet
been convinced that a successful fight
may be waged against consumption. The
world has so long looked upon it as
necessary evil. and one from which there
is no possible escape. that many men
suspect that vain hopes are being en-

dissipated. and consumption, which car
res people to the grave as smallpox
and cholera did a hundred years ago.
will come to be rare disease.
Only A few generations ago. when
smallpox broke out in community, the
only hope which people had was in flight.
Most of those who remained in the COM
munity were stricken. Smallpox would
go through a village, city or nation
like a prairie fire. Now. when the news
papers announce that the health authori-
ties have discovered one. two or half a
dozen cases of smallpox. the people, even
in the immediate neighborhood of the
place of outbreak, do not get excited,
the malady is not allowed to spread, it
is promptly rooted out and nearly all
those unfortunates who contract the
disease get well.
Here is a change in conditions which
ought TO open the minds of those persons
who incline TO be pessimistc or lethargic
toward the anti-tuberculosis campaign.

Tree Cutting in Baltimore.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the baltimore sun.
The cutting down Of trees in Harlem
Park has excited much feeling among
residents of the adjacent blocks and not a
little solicitude among other lovers of
trees who sometimes visit the park.
Trees constitute one of the charms of
such places. and to destroy a tree which
is the, product Of twenty years of care
is serious matter. Some fifty-three
trees, il is stated. have been cut down,
and more are marked for destruction. II
is explained by the officials engaged in
the work that the object of cutting is to
Improve the beauty OF the park and to
give sunlight to the grass Without
undertaking to say whether the proper
course has been taken in this particular
case or not, 1t is certain that what con-
stitutes the beauty of a park is question
of esthetcs, as is also the question whether
grass on the ground is more worth having
than an unbroken canopy OF green over
head. Not a few persons have q strong
sentiment of attachment to trees and fee
a personal hurt in their destruction.

The London Times.

There is something agreeable in the in
formation that the London Times is not
I'd change hands. 1t is more than a
newspaper. 1t is a British institution
maybe the most renowned of all-and
should be preserved. 1t may be, just a
little slow and staid for this era But
London is big town. and affords field
for all sorts of experiments. And there
are experiments there with what is called
modern journalism. some of them pc
cuniarily successful. Let them suffice. To
have put the Times through such PAGES
would have been TO injure it. Under a
directory composed of men familiar with
its affairs. it should while making
progress make progress slowly, and
along the lines with which it's name is
associated. To have put new wine into
that old bottle would have offended
against high advice.

1t is so customary, after holocaust. for

of the authorities in Systematically pro-

in our schools from fire is a necessary

labor, the work should be recognized as
an imperative duty, nor cease until every
