over night for killing. This matter Il
easily remedied. The nuisance complained
of chiefly II the keeping Of poultry for sail
in the ANAL grocery stores scattered
throughout the city. The objection that
the prohibition Of such conditions discrina.
mates against the ANAL dealer In favor Of
the wholesaler touches upon the broad
question Of what may be permitted within
the strictly residential area that r. posi-
bly, permissible elsewhere In all Ques-
tons of public health It would seem that
the dominating consideration should be
not the right Of vendors but the right OF
dwellers. the latter being Of paramount
consideration in any municipal code OF
law.
The court throws out the regulation on
the ground that 1t is indefinite as to the
distances and methods Of measurement
This objection should very easily be over
come. and there should be no difficulty
about framing a regulation which does
justice to the householder by safeguarding
him from a nuisance and at the same time
imposes only reasonable restrictions upon
others. The Commissioners probably have
sufficient power under the police regula-
ton law to meet the case. but if they
have not they should appeal to Congress
at the earliest opportunity.

The Poultry Regulation.

The District Court of Appeals having
declared unconstitutional a District regu-
lation prescribing the conditions upon
which residents may keep live poultry on
their premises. owing to the uncertainty
of it's terms and scope. ii becomes incum-
bent upon the Commissioners to devise
a regulation which will withstand judicial
scrutiny. The keeping of poultry within
the residential section is undoubtedly a
nuisance, the suppression of which is de-
manded in the interest Of peace and quiet
and even the health Of city jewellers. Not
only is the noise distracting. but the
odors of a chicken yard are at the least
unpleasant, and citizens are justified in
complaining of such conditions It was
thought that the regulation finally framed
by the Commissioners after repeated eff
forts on the part of sufferers to obtain a
redress of grievances would meet the case
The court. however. finds it ineffective be-
cause of discrimination and wipes it from
the book.
The point has been raised against the
regulation just abandoned that its strict
enforcement would prevent the purcha Sc
of live poultry in the markets and its
transportation to the dwelling 10 be kept

The Attendance at Denver.

There are disauieting rumors about the
attendance at Denver. Not as respects
size. but quality. The crowd will prob
ably be enormous. But a mere crowd does
not insure wisdom in conference or de-
cision. A town full of shouting people
parading the streets with transparencies
and brass bands. and pledging eternal
fidelity to party does not mean the best
possible nomination or platform. The best
results proceed only from the best sources.
II is reported that John Sharp Williams
will not attend. He is delegate, but has
lecture engagements which will occupy
him at that time. Will not that be put
ting the dollar above the party, Mr.
Williams was prominent at ST Louis four
years ago. and would be ut Denver lie
would make an excellent member of the
committee on resolutions. He favors Mr.
Bryan's nomination. but is opposed to
some of the Bryanite policies His coun-
sells would contribute to the framing of
workable compromise platform. .

The Struggle at Albany.

Affairs are drawing to focus at Albany
in the case of the anti-gambling fight
waged by Gov Hughes. According to the
program the lower house of legislature
will pass the pending measures today and
the upper house will vote on them tomor-
row. it being agreed that the committee
report is TO be submitted in the senate
promptly upon the receipt of the house
bills. Senator Foelker, whose illness has
caused the postponement of action until
the present. expects to be at Albany to-
morrow morning i'm care of a physician.
Unless there are changes in the lineup of
the upper house his vote will carry the
bills. Thus, if he should collapse before
the vote is taken and no changes occur
the governor will again lose his case by
a tie vote II he remains in sufficient
health TO answer to his name on the roll
call, no changes occurring. the bills will
be passed by majority of one.
Meanwhile. however, there is great I'M
certainty regarding the attitude of SEN
ator named Smith who voted for the bills
during the regular session. but whose con-
version Is now claimed by the opponent
Of the reform. He has refused to declare
his present position and is easily the
sphinx of the situation. OF course if he
should change his vote and no other
changes occur to offset. the bills will be
lost before by tie. 1t is interesting
in this connection to note that there is
no expectation that Senator Cassidy viii
vote for the bills. 1t will he remembered
that 1t was Senator Cassidy to whom Rep
resentative j. Sloat Fassett telegraphed
from Washington on the eve of the ballot
ing at the first session on these bills, adj
vising him TO support the governor. BY
some mysterious stratagem. the loca
grand jury being now engaged in seeking
lis solution. the word not was inserted

from Washington or from elsewhere as tt

The Lower South at Chicago.

To illustrate the republican situation in
the lower southern states it is only nee
essary to cite the Louisiana case as de-
veloped at Chicago.
Two factions appeared asking recogni-
ton. The lilywhites and the black-and-
tans both claimed to be the simon pure
article. Each dinned the national COM
mittee with the story of it's own regq-
larity and importance. After the hearing.
the committee could see no way out of the
dilemma but by recognizing for the mo-
ment both factions. This was done. with
the result that the lily-whites are in a
huff and their leader threatens to bolt.
But what do both of the factions put
together amount to in the politics of
Louisiana? Absolutely nothing. They
have no more influence on elections than

Buildings and Building Inspection

Whether through the coroners inquest
or the Commissioners own investigation
II should be possible to arrive at an exact
understanding of the responsibility for
yesterdays fatal building collapse. This
is matter of the most serious import
ance to every WashinStonian. Any city
that is in process of construction and de-
Velopment is dependent in a great degree
upon the sufficiency of building plans and
the efficiency of building inspection
Whether the errors leading to accidents
are due to ignorance of structural laws
or to the desire to cheaper construction for
economyS sake matters not to the man
who buys or rents a house or an apart
ment or an office. He is entitled to feel
guaranteed as 10 the security of the struc-
fure by reason OF the supervision over
its building by municipal bureau. mas
muck as all plans are submitted TO that
office and are not approved until sup
posedly in conformity with the laws Of
construction and inasmuch also as every
stage of the work is held under observa-
ton the public assumption is that a COM
pleted building is safe. except as against
abnormal conditions of nature such as
earthquakes. fire. wind or deluge:
Yesterdays collapse unpleasantly ug-
gests the possibility that a building may
go up and remain intact in the con-
struction process and yet when turned
over to occupants stand as a menace to
human life. The thought is forced upon
the public mind by this disaster that it is
possible under the present building in
spection system. whether due TO incom-
petence or lack of force the community
can not vet determine for struct,IraIIy
weak building to pass muster as long as
il barely holds together. 1t was. OF
course. far better that the collapse should
have come when it did even at the cost of
Two lives. than that it should have oc-
Cured after the completion of the build
ing and sacrificed maybe a score OF the
tenants
Between the coroner and the Commits
sioners the whole history of this building
should be laid bare. and furthermore it
should be made plain just how far the
building inspectors office is equipped OF
qualified to pass judgment upon plans
and to watch the construction of build
ings of all kinds. The public will demand
reinsurance upon this point. and if the
fanlt lies in a lack of force it will ex-
pect the circumstances OF this case TO be
brought promptly to the attention of
Congress at the next session by the Com
missioners SO that there need be no
further division of responsibility between
the local administration and the District s
legislature. If they find that the case lies
within their own Jurisdiction the public
will expect the Commissioners to act de-
cisively in the interest of reform.

Bishop Brent's Decision.
From the Baltimore Sun.

When a minister Of the Gospel is in
vited to a large city charge with an in
creased salary and perhaps more pleasant
surroundings he often accepts. giving as
his reason for so doing that he will be
going into a larger field of usefulness and
will be enabled to do more good. There
is nothing wrong in this. and the man
who makes such q decision does not
thereby uncover himself to criticism. Still
when a minister refuses an attractive
call and elects to remain in an undesir-
there. and so sacrifices worldly ambition
and worldly advantage. he is entitled to
unstinted praise. The case of the Ri
Rev. Charles Henry Brent is case in

Sea Serpent Days.

The polar bear days seem quite CHEEKY
When viewed from a fireside so bright
The days of the grounding are dreary
If his shadow, is not seen Alright.
The robins melodious play-day
Is surely deserving OF praise,
But the world isn't quite in its heyday
Till it gets round to sea serpent days.
It's then that the waves are a-shimmer
At night meath the moons silver glow
It's then that the stars gaily glimmer;
g.. It's then that the breeze whispers low
In this season of mystical glory
You fall into credulous ways,
Believing most any old story
They tell you in sea serpent days.
