Foreigners and the Stump.

Eugene Debs, candidate of the social
list party for President, in announcing
plans. says:
II will begin my campaign at Chicago
the 1st of September, and after a tour
through the different cities will wind it
up in Chicago two days before election
Every indication points to a large So
not expect to be elected, but the result
Of the election will show that in spite
of all obstacles the socialist idea Is
growing and will continue to grow. We
will have 5000 open-air speakers. men
and women. throughout the country when
the campaign opens, and the Countess Of
Warwick is coming here in the fall and
will take an active part in 1t. The 5000
speakers will speak from truck or soap
boxes wherever there is a chance. I shall
speak in New York probably twice at
least during the campaign"
Here is a notable departure from Amer
lean custom. The Countess of Warwick
is probably a fine speaker, and we may be
sure will be greeted respectfully by large
audiences. 1t is not every day that
titled woman may be heard on the public
platform discussing politics and reform.
Curiosity alone will swell her audiences.
The number of converts must of course
depend upon the ability with which she
presents her case. The socialists are to
be congratulated on securing a stumper
SO very certain Of attention.
But what would be said II Mr.. Bryan
were to invite a prominent English free
trader-a member Of Parliament preferred
to come over and help point out to our
voters the evils Of protection? Would
not that GAR the country? Could Mr..
Bryan commit a greater mistake? or
course he would not think for a moment
of doing such a thing. and we may all
! easily imagine the kind Of reception such
a speaker would meet.
Or let us imagine Judge Taft inviting
over some Englishman familiar with con-
ditions in the far east to discuss from the
stump the Philippine question. Imagine
the reception Of such a man drumming
for votes for the republican ticket on the
contention that it is the duty of the
United States to everybody in interest to
remain in the archipelago until education
has brought the inhabitants up to the
ability to conduct their own affairs. He
would want, and be likely, to take the
first ship back home.
Sauce for the statesman then is not
sauce for the stateswoman-at least not yet
1t may be different after socialism has
grown a little-if 1t il destined to grow.
1t is not yet formidable. At present 1t
Is a cross between q dream and a fad.
Some persons embrace it because Of dis
gust with the things they understand.
Others embrace 1t because they don't un-
derstand it.
Still. as matters stand. make way for
the Countess of Warwick. As the star
of the Debs campaign she should add
something to the excitement Of the presi-
Dental contest.

Astor.

Young Waldorf Aston has followed his
fathers example and become a British
subject. He aspires to a seat in parlia-
ment. His campaign should not lack for
dough And that may be the whole Of
1t. Despite this detection, there Is still
an American Astor, and he seems to be a
good deal of a man. He bears the famous
name of John Jacob, and he took his place
in the war with Spain along with the
other young men of his community to
fight for the country. His companions in
arms were much impressed with him. and
the newspaper correspondents who OBJ
served him complimented his service.
With him on our citizen roll, we can well
spare England the other two.

Maud Muller on q summers day
Pretended to be raking hay.
A local Judge came riding by.
She thought he was q fat old guy.
The Judge his neither lip did curl;
Considered Maud a lazy girl.
He gave bis nag q sounding slap
And bade that animal "Giddap?s
Prosaic was the episode.
His honor vanished down the roed.
He didn't want Maud for his wife.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

WASHINGTON was suffering from an In
tensely hot spell at this time nifty years
ago and the public attention
Pump was drawn as seldom to the

those DAYS a large part of the supply was
derived from pumps, such as have re-

ger of disease infection. In 1853. how
ever, the pumps were regarded as puoilc
benefactions save when they were in dis
repair. In The Star Of July l., lsoS' oc-
ours the following paragraph:
What a rich treat to the thirsty Is
cool draught of pure cold water! MOTH
ing approaches near to- 1t IN It's tnirst-
shaking qualities. A weary traveller, worn
out with long fasting and dropping with
fatigue, halls the limpid stream OF lie

briskly on his way, refreshed and In
spired with new vigor. In the hot ana
dusty city, shut out from the healthful
influences of fresh air. outrageous SHADES
and pebbly springs, the busy merchant.
the toiling artisan. the book-worn clerk.
the humble laborer. all classes alike feel
a blessing that attaches to drink OF
pure water. Let the pump commissioner,
then. on whom the thirsty souls OF thou

condition of their threats, look well TO
the water fountains That pump at the

When Mayor Berret assumed office he
found on the statute books a new law
granting him the privi-
Extra lege of appointing, at his
POLICE discretion. forty addition
al policemen to suppress
the disorderly elements infesting Wash
ington. He promptly caused this enlarge
ment of the police force to be made. The
Star Of July 13. 1853 said:
when the law was passed there GER
tainly existed much more apparent neces-
sity for such an increase Of the police
force than at present: and II the peace
and order of Washington improve for
few brief eeks in like ratio II will be
evident to all that the late police force
will be amply sufficient for all proper and
legitimate ends. The state Of popular
sentiment around us as to the necessity
of putting down State-hose-ism and other
rowdyism. the late execution and the
disposition manifested by the grand jury
to bring all such offenders to speedy JUS
tice, together with the admitted efficiency
of the new chief Of police. caused a
stampede of the shoulder-hitting fra
ternity of Baltimore and elsewhere, who
not long since congregated here. Hence
the extraordinary difference between the
state of law and order here at this time
and when supplemental police law was
passed. We look to the result Of the
trials to come off before our criminal
court for the balance Of its current term
to make it so apparent that there really
exists no present necessity for the addi-
tional expenditure of $4,000 per annum
on the police as that none except
those sharing it will be found justifying
its continuance"
