Dining Car Amenities.

Steps should be taken to secure court
rulings in other jurisdictions than that OF
Baltimore upon the question of whether
II is proper advisable and permissible
for angry passengers in railroad trains
physically to resent real or imagined in
suits received from servants. 1t Is to the
interest of the travelling public that some
sort of code should be established in this
matter, for if the doctrine laid down In
Baltimore yesterday in the case of dis
tinguished parsonage who undertook to
administer personal chastisement to a
dining car waiter is to be regarded as
fixed the more timid or retiring and peace
loving tourists will be inclined to seek
special protection from such distressing
and nerve-trying scenes.
This is not SO much a matter of justice.
though there may be a disposition to
question the Baltimore code in this par
ticular. as of public placidity. If the
railway trains are to become scenes of
scrappy alterations there is no telling
to what length the proceedings may go.
Perhaps the safer way will be to run two
kinds of cars, those reserved for the gen
tier people who are not disposed to quar-
rel with servitors, and who see better
ways of enforcing their wishes than
blows, and another car set apart for fisti-
cuffs and rough house work. Then the
travelling public can take its choice and
ride with some sense of freedom from
excited language and violent scenes. while
the more sportively inclined may have a
chance with every trip to witness a mix
up with infinite possibilities Of tragedy.

this line of endeavor. They took no rash
risks. but advanced by scientific stages
in the acquisition of precise knowledge OF
the winds and the vagaries of the at
mosphere.
These experiments at Fort Myer are not
being conducted for the delectation of the
public, however greatly they may have
been enjoyed by those fortunate enough to
be present on favorable days. There is too
much at stake for the aviators to take
unnecessary risks. The government test
requirements do not involve speed or dis
lance flights against winds of certain We
locty. and it would be folly for Orville
Wright to undertake his run to Alexan-
dria and return in anything but the most
favorable conditions. The fact that ne
does not attempt to fly across country
necessarily mean that his machine could
not navigate the air in those circum-
stances. 1t simply means that he is not
willing to risk his own life and that or
a passenger. or at least to risk the break
age of the machine or the loss OF the
government contract, in unnecessarily I'M
favorable circumstances
1t is not to be doubted that in a short
time the American aviators will be fly
ing long distances across the country or
crossing bodies of water-which are
easier to traverse than woods and fields

not necessarily more scientific or skillful

A Dyspeptic Dirre.

Though many bells with echoings clear
Invite our thoughts to serious things
There's one more somber and severe
Than any other bell that rings.
When slumber sweet is forced to yield
To duty's cold, exacting power
This message shrill is harshly pealed:
1t is the solemn breakfast hour!
Where are the smiles of yesternight,
When lights were splendidly aglow?
Why do compilations once so white
Make now a dull. inglorious show?
The thorn springs up amid the speech
Where blossomed rhetoric's choicest
flower,
And peace and Joy seem out of reach
It is the solemn breakfast hour.
And dignity, like beauty, tries
To hold its own, but all in vain:
The man erstwhile sedate now tries.
In feverish haste to catch train.
The coffee's cold; the cream is poor;
The yeast has quarreled with the -four
Life, like the egg, seems insecure
It is the solemn breakfast hour!

The Spanish Crisis.

King Alfonso has met the situation in
Spain with show of spirit which indi-
Gates that he is disposed to resist vigor-
ously the tendencies toward Instruction
I'm his kingdom. His declaration of mar
tial law throughout the entire country
brings the crisis to acute point. 1t
now remains to be seen whether, with
a large part of the army occupied in
Morocco in difficult campaign against
warlike tribesmen, and many of the home
regiments deeply affected with a mutt
nous spirit, the government can control
the situation.
Back of the cry against the foreign war
there is undoubtedly serious sedition
rooted in deeper feeling than a resent
ment against contributing to a costly
campaign in other lands. 1t may be only
| a coincidence that this outbreak has oc-
| CURED almost Immediately after the death
OF Don Carlos. 1t was thought at that
| time to be within the possibilities that the
passing of the pretender might be a sig
| nal for revival of the revolutionary
movement by the republicans. Apparently
there is beneath this present disturbance
a well organized campaign against the
monarchy. Socialism has found a foot
hold in Spain and in the course Of the
rioting at Barcelona this spirit has been
| freely expressed. In addition to these

At Fort. Myer.

II is estimated that nearly 10000 people
journeyed to Fort Myer yesterday after
noon in the hope of seeing Orville Wright
fly with passenger between the parade
ground and Alexandria. They waited two
hours and returned disappointed. the test
having been abandoned because of the
prevalence of a high wind across the
course. which it was feared would seri-
ously interfere with the satisfactory per-
Torrance of the aeroplane.
In this matter OF the navigation of the
air the public expectancy has been
wrought to a keen pitch by the remark
able achievements of the Wrights in this
country and abroad and quite recently by
the successful flight across the English
channel by NJ. Bleriot 1t has seemed to
the populace that the era of practical air
navigation was actually at hand. Many
people have lost sight OF the fact that
human flight is only a matter of few
months. save by means of gas bags, and
that the art is in its infancy. We are,
in short. inclined TO be triie impatient
for the coming of the day when the sight
of human being Swimming swiftly
across town above the housetops will be
so common as to attract no attention.
Criticism has been directed against the
Wright brothers because they have not
been more venturesome. TT should be re-
membered that they are today successful
TO the present point of their achievements
largely because they made haste slowly
in the beginning. They might easily have
broken their own necks long ago in the
course of their first experiments IL they
had not been temperamentally suited to

Vagaries of Scientific Pundits.
orn the phtladelnhia Inouirer


In these days of midsummer heat and
dullness the vagaries Of the scientific
pundits as source of refreshing and in
nocent entertainment are not to be de-
spised They are varied In their char
acter and comprehensive in their scope.
Their range extends from the interior
arrangements of the human anatomy to
the exterior limits of the visible universe.
and II they are more remarkable for in
ventive ingenuity than for convincing
force that only serves to enhance their
interest. No problem Is so great or so
difficult that the modern scientist shrinks
from attempting it's solution, nor. on the
other hand. is any question too small or
insignificant to be deemed unworthy of
his notice. He is ready to explain the
whole scheme of things in neatly COM
pacted system. which is quite satisfac-
tory. provided the premises upon which
1t is constructed are admitted, and as
soon as one theory is exploded as con-
sequence of more thorough research or
more intelligent apprehension Of the
facts he is imperturbably ready with an
other.

Politicians and Entertainers.

Mr.. Cannon good naturally denies the
report that he is to make a tour of the
country lecturing as soon as Congress
adiourns Mr.. Aldrich treats a like re-
port as to himself with show of re-
sentiment. He does not feel complimented
by the suggestion. The role OF enter
taner does not appeal to him.
Either man would prove a drawing
card on the platform this summer
Neither would find 1t necessary to make
special preparation. Any topic treated
In off-hand fashion would answer. the
public has followed the congressional
careers of both men with an interest
which would manifest itself conspicuous
ly at the box office.
Probably this fact explains the attitude
of the two statesmen on the SUBJECT.
They object to going on view. Inc
show business is TOO prominently in the
program. a sight of them is more de-
sired than addresses by them. Both are
identified only with political questions,
and on those questions are already abun-

not made. He turns the trick with such
ease the work is no tax upon his
powers. MIR. Beecher was the most sue
cessful American lecturer of the last
half of the last century. He was more
than an entertainer, but admirable in
that role. He talked with ease and
fiuency ON all subjects of popular interest,
and thrived on the exercise of his talents.
A famous bon mot of that day was that
when the great preacher began to show
brain flag from too protracted labors in
the pulpit and with his pen. and his
musician prescribed absolute mental rest
Mai. Pond would take him around the
country on a lecture tour.
OF the lecturers of the present day
Mr.. Bryan is easily first. He is very
ready phrasemaker, and dips lightly into
all popular subjects. 1t must De re-
membered. TOO, that he had made more
reputation prior to the Chicago conveh-
ton of 1896 as Lecturers thah DIS

went at once upon the platform, traVeieu
widely in the south and west, and In that
WAY introduced himself to many OF the
men who. later, assembled at chicago
for the purpose of nominating a demo-
cratic candidate for President. When
he took the stage there and delivered his
rafting speech, the friends he had made
as a lecturer came at once to his sup
port.
Mr., Cannon and Mr.. Aldrich are not or

and 1t is easy to understand how what

Patronage and Campairning.

The democratic campaign in Virginia,
so prolific of personalities, has developed
a new one almost at the very close. 1t is
charged now that an Office was promised,
either by Judge Mann or lieutenant
acting in his name, in exchange for a
promise Of support of the Mann fandi-
dacy. A denial is entered, but the mat
ter is figuring in the equation quite extern
sively
This sort of thing has often appeared
in our political affairs. and in relation to
our highest contests. George d. Prentice,
who followed the fortunes of Henry Clay
with perfect devotion, said that Mr.. Clay's
election to the presidency would have
been followed by the greatest embarrass-
ments: that the federal patronage had
been promised three times over in Mr.
Clays name, and the great man could
never in Office have set himself right
with his supporters. Thousands would
have been disappointed.
Something of the same kind was said
of Mr. Blaine. whose friends were quite
as eager to make him President. Hope of
personal reward was not at the bottom
of the Blaine feeling, but great many
men in all sections of the country-more
than places could have been found for
were expecting recognition in case of Mr..
Blaine's success, and had comforting as
surances from his managers. In Office he
would have found himself swamped with
obligations. :
In the first Cleveland campaign Mr.
German was the national manager. and
Daniel Manning the manager for New
York. Both were practical politicians,
and realized that their task was hercu-
lean. 1t was the common report and be-
lief of that day that they issued a good
deal of paper and equally common
was the report later that much of the
paper was repudiated by Mr.. Cleve-
land, to the annoyance of both Mr..
Gorman and Mr.. Manning. Indeed, the
democratic failure in New York in 1888
was in part attributed to the unredeemed
promises about patronage Mr.. Manning
mad made in the campaign of 1884.
Candidates themselves are probably but
seldom approached on the subject OF pat
ronage. They must walk with extreme
caution. But campaign managers, who
as rule are very practical In their hunt
for votes, are allowed little leeway. and
often avail themselves of the privileges
OF their commissions. taking chances. and
trusting to luck. If fortune smiles, they
try to make good; if it frowns, those they
have dealt with must be philosophical
and take the consequences. But both be-
fore and after an election, patronage is a
very troublesome thing
