The Prairie stiIl in Mud

Philadelphia; Dec. 4.--with nearly all her coal and great quantities of her stores on lighters the transport Prai- rie is still fast aground tonight in the mud flats of Pea Patch Island. where she grounded Thursday night while speeding down the Delaware river on her way to Central America.
 A third attempt was made at food tide this afternoon to float her but she was not moved. The big transport Is imbedded five or six feet in the soft mud and It Is now believed that every bit of her cargo will have to be taken off before there will be a chance to free her.
 Four tugs worked on the ship for two hours this afternoon and whether another attempt will be made to pull her off at high water tomorrow morn ing is not known here. Admiral Kim ball, on board the Prairie. Is in con stant communication by wireless with the Navy Department at Washington and he expects tc receive orders du- ring the night in regard to the further attempts to float the vessel.

 No attitude whatever has been taken by this government up to this time" replied Governor creei.
 Touching the possibility of Governor Creefs being sent to Washington MT. Mariscal said that MT. Crecl was peculiarly fitted for such mission, having been ambassador at Washing ton and being thoroughly acquaint- ed with Central American affairs through his participation in the meet ing of the peace conference in Wash ington and from the further fact of hts having been special commissioner to Costa Rica when the court of ar bitraticn was opened.
 Mir. Mariscal further stated that no formal notc had been sent to Wash ington by the Mexican government but that charge d affaires Balvino Davalos had been instructed to make certain representations to the government at Washington which would lead in the event of their being received in favor in sending MT. Creel to Washington as special envoy.

Street Car Disorder.

Yesterday morning in the Police Court
a man was found guilty of disorderly con-
duct in a street car and fined 50. 1t
appears that he occupied corner seat
near the door in such a manner as to
block the egress of passengers and re-
fused to move when requested TO do so
by the conductor. whereupon the latter
attempted to eject him and a fight en-
sued. Two police detectives happened to
be on the car and through their inter-
vention order was restored and the trouble
maker was sent to the police station.
Disorder upon street cars is particu-
larly obnoxious form of trouble and should
ordinarily be discouraged by the infiic-
ton of a severe penalty when an offender
Is apprehended. The conductors and
motormen are authorized to eject dis
orderly passengers from their cars, but
they cannot do so without difficulty and
seriously delaying the traffic. 1t often
happens that policemen cannot be sum-
moned for some minutes and that before
their arrival the disorder grows to Sc
rious proportions. When the trouble
the case, free fights are precipitated in
the cars to the great distress and even
peril OF orderly passengers. Another case
yesterday reported was of a man who re-
fused to pay his fare and resisted election
from the car. In this instance the con-

down, she gains prestige with the dis

obviously that of the priestess of the
poor. suffering oppression for their
sake. If she is to be martyrized the
public should at least get the benefit
of a surcease of her agitation gained
through her detention in prison.
If the police would ignore Emma
Goldman for half a year she would
probably either sink into an innocuous
obscurity or else develop into a suffi-
GENTLY outspoken advocate of violent
resistance to justify her imprisonment

A Plot for CastroP

If Cipriano Castro's agents succeed in
carrying through the scheme, with which
they are now accredited, Of conducting an
insurrection in behalf of the deposed
dictator through the medium of agents
IN the United States, and with arms
smuggled into Venezuela by way Of this
country, he will have reason to feel
recompensed for the injuries which he
charges he has suffered at the hands of
this government. According to the story
now told, Castro's friends have for some
time been bringing arms into the states
from Belgium and transshipping them
from the seaboard to interior points. from
which they are eventually to be sent
down to gulf ports for quick transit to
Venezuela. This seems roundabout
scheme of action. possibly more effective
for the reason of being indirect 1t ap-
pears to suit the Venezuelan tempera-
ment to advance to a given point by
devious ways. OF course the United
States is interested in these proceedings
and il the statements which have been
printed are correct the agents of the
government are in possession of all the
facts of the filbuster and at the proper
time the heavy hand of federal authority
will fall and Cipriano Castro's plot will
fail. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no failure to connect and that the
rifles which rumor accredits with being
somewhere in the United States in
transit for Venezuela will not reach
their ultimate destination. Affairs in
that republic are now In a more salts
factory state than for a long time, and
return to the old dictatorship would
involve great difficulty and a renewal of
the embarrassments and diplomatic dan
gers which marked the former regime of
Castro. This government is bound by the
ordinary requirements of international
law to protect Venezuela from the at
tentions of American f1libusters and has
particular reason to be watchf,1 over
the activities of the friends of the man

The Cocaine Habit.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Not until this late day has the danger
GUS nature of the cocaine habit been fully
recognized in New York city. The rapid
ly increasing number OF users Of the drug
has at last attracted the attention of the
police. Aided by new state law they
are about to begin an active campaign
against the men who sell the stuff. Chi
cago became aware of the existence of
the cocaine evil several years ago and
began fighting it, Much has been accom-
plished, though not all that could be de-
sired. The men who carried on a nefari-
Gus traffic have been driven out OF 1t or
driven into holes and corners. Unremit-

The Pot and the Kettle.

Mr. Bryan wants to know why those
democrats who are now repudiating the
Denver platform did not take the action
last year before election day. He holds
that, as they did not, they are bound
by il. 1t is a nice question, and far
reaching.
The probability is that. whatever they
may have thought. the southern men i'm
plicated paid no attention at all to the
national platform in their campaigns
There was no need for them to do so.
They had. and used all that was neces-
sary in their hailiwicks-the party label
Whether they were consenting TO the
terms Of the partys deliverance was of
moment. There was no opposition
to be overcome. The result at the polls
was settled in advance. So the demo
cratic candidates had only to ask for
votes for themselves and for Mr.. Bryan
But how does Mr.. Bryan support his
proposition that candidate has the right
to repudiate his party's national platform
before election? 1t is in that way he
justifies his repudiation of the state bank
tax matter contained in the democratic
national platform of 1892. The demo-
Gratis of his district differed on that is
sue with the national sentiment of the
party, and he stood with his constitu-
ents in the campaign. and, later, voted
their views in the House.
Does not national platform bind the
party everywhere? Did not the Chicago
platform OF 1892 supersede all previous
local democratic platforms of that year?
What right had Mr.. Bryan, simply be-
cause he had already been nominated for
the House. to set up on national issue
in opposition to any feature Of the party's
national pronouncement when that came?
Was the democracy of the second Ne
braska district greater than the national
democracy? 1t was in Mr.. Bryan's eyes,
but push that proposition to its logical
ultimate and where do we land?
The old debate between the pot and the
kettle will never end. While old, it is
always interesting. and, while mirth is
provoked. instruction is always conveyed
Much force attaches to what Mr.. Bryan
is now saying. Those men who SUBJ
scribed even by silence to the Denver
platform. and particularly those who as
sented to 1t as members Of the committee
that reported it for adoption by the con-
vention. should have stood for it, in the
hour OF legislative trial. II they were not
bound, 1t is impossible to bind men by
party deliverance: and the further road
Is party disruption and chaos
AS to whether Mr. Bryan Is the proper
man to apply censure is another question
When the majority is with him he lays
great stress on majority rule. Remember
what he said about the democrats who
refused to be bound in 1895 and 1900?
When the majority is against him-as in
the state bank tax matter in 1S92-he
goes with the minority, and glories in It,
