Partisan Disorders.

The situation in Paris the other day
when a mob of radicals tried TO prevent
the public execution of an Apache VINO
killed a policeman was more serious imam
il likely to be conceived by the casual
reader of news dispatches. For many
wears from the underworld Of the French
capital have sprung the most evil Inhu-
ences bands of organized thieves and
nurderers existing despite police efforts
Probably no one will ever know of the
crimes committed by these professional
assassins Apparently the government Is
powerless TO suppress them The lack
for a long period of disposition 10 en-
force the extreme penalty of the law un-
uuestionably encouraged these vile crea-
lures in their pursuit OF what became a
recognized business of thievery and
slaughter. Certain parts of Paris have
been definitely regarded as unsafe after
certain hours. Even the police dared
not venture within well defined precincts.
IL now appears that the government is
dispoeed to enforce the law. That the
situation is truly desperate Is evidenced
BIZ the fact that threats have been ut
1Ered against the life of the President
Of France for his refusal to reprieve the
condemned man. 1t is furthermore sig
nfflcant that during the execution a
policeman was shot In the throat by a
bystander The officer was not killed. but.

socialism prevails I'm Paris to such an
extent that the execution of Liaboeuf

Summer Charity.

b,e toward those who are inadequately
supplied with means do not pass With
the cold. The summer offers to the benev-
oientaa> chance to demonstrate the love
of humanity and consideration for the

they suffer torments when the thermom-

no electric fans. Ice is luxury with
them. No prospect of vacation at cool

and the suffocating nights. To most OF

question, the trust question or the cur
rency question is never canvassed in
national speculation. But she is al
ways safely set down as in favor Of
protection for the cane sugar industry.
Mr.. McEnery went all lengths for that.
and was Endorsed by his people. He had
entered upon his third term as Senator.
and had voted for two republican re-
visions of the tariff because OF favorable
sugar schedules. Presumably Gov. San
ders also is a sugar man, though how far
he would go in behalf of sugar in a tariff
contest remains to be seen. He will have
u chance to show his hand il he comes to
the Senate
Virginia in the Senate has been known
in connection with more than one ma
tional question. Mai. Daniel was
classed a revenue tariff man. but
voted for protection where Virginia indus
tries We're concerned. For years he was
very prominent as an advocate of free
silver coinage, and presided over the Chi
cago convention in 1896 as the choice of
the silver men. Latterly his views
changed. or at any rate. he was less ag-
gressive on the subject of silver. and he
had ceased altogether to be a follower of
Mr.. Bryan.
VIII his successor be of what may be
called the Daniel school? Gov. Swanson.
when in the House, was both a silver and
a revenue tariff man. Does he recognize,
as Maj. Daniel did. the difference between
the silver question of this day and that
of a former day? And is he willing,
while advocating a revenue tariff to vote
protection for Virginia industries?
Mr.. Tucker was reckoned of the Cleve-
land school when the silver question was
acute. and he is probably of the same
mind now. On the tariff question he has
always stood with the revenue reformers.
Still, there are many democrats who
while denying protection to others ask
and accept 1t for themselves.
These are the best known Of the Vir-
ginia possibilities. But there are other
good men of senatorial size, and the
choice, first of Gov. Mann, and then of
the legislature. may fall upon somebody
of less distinction.

MARYLAND and Mr.. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan will be neither surprised nor
discouraged by Senator Rayner's deliv-
erance. He has never been strong in
Maryland. He inaugurated his national
leadership of the democracy by a chal-
lenge of the then leader of the party in
Maryland. He rejected with some impa-
thence the suggestion that Mr.. German be
made an assistant to Chairman Jones of
the national committee and by that act
offended Mr. German and his friends past
forgiveness.
At that time silver was the issue, and
MIR. Bryan we'll knew that Mr.. German
was not friend of free silver. The
Maryland senator's sympathies and con-
nections were all on the gold side of the
question. AS a business man of large
wealth. and as the personal friend of
many eastern financiers, he took the east
ern view.
Still, for the party's sake, Mr.. German
would have helped Chairman Jones with
his task. He was regular at all times.
He had helped elect Mr.. Cleveland in
1892 although quite as much opposed to
free trade then as he now was to free
silver.
But Mr.. Bryan had memory, and he
remembered, that. after helping to elect
Mr. Cleveland on free trade platform,
Mr.. German. as the democratic leader of
the Senate, had repudiated the platform
and filed with protection a democratic
tariff bill which he, Mr.. Bryan, had as
sisted in preparing. He was afraid, there
fore, to put himself in connection with
and under obligations to the Maryland
leader. lest in case of success he. Mr..
Bryan, might find Mr.. German opposed
to him. Mr.. German. though repulsed.
supported the ticket lansuidly, and Mary
land voted for Mckinley and Hobart.
Mr.. Rayner is not of the German school,
but he knows his state as we'll as Mr.
German did. Although a lawyer he is
familiar with business circles in Mary
land. especially in Baltimore. and under
stands their needs and views. He owes
his place in the Senate to influences from
that quarter. The German machine op-
posed him. Higher grade democrats sup
ported, and finally elected, him.
Maryland is anti-Bryan. The state is
prosperous, and her cities are growing
rapidly. Baltimore is going forward at
"a rate to surprise her best friends To
those people MIR. Bryan spells Bryanism
and Organism still spells financial va
carries and reckless experiments in gov
eminent. They do not like his leader
ship; and Mr.. Rayner as the local leader
voices in protesting against MIR. Bryan's
further activity the sentiments Of his
constituents. But Maryland has never
been in Mr.. Bryan's calculations.

is fitted for carrying two persons, one
to act as pilot and attend the motor,
the other to act as gunner: that the
dropping of projectiles is a waste of
ammunition. the prime necessity being
a gun that can be aimed from over
head and carry its missile straight at
the target. 1t.was found by Curtiss
that it was impossible for him to cor
rect errors in dropping his projectiles.
inasmuch as in his fast flights over
the target he would leave the falling
missiles so far behind that he could
they fell Probably after long prac-
tice an aviator could develop the trick
of dropping his projectiles accurately
after the fashion of a hunter shooting
at a swiftly moving bird or animal.
Another objection was found to be the
betraying noise of the motor. 1t was
also the opinion Of some of the observ-
ers that an airplane operating at sea
in average atmospheric conditions
could not be sufficiently controlled as
to speed and height to give the aerial
artillerist a fair percentage of accuracy.
One phase of this situation remains
to be developed. What is the warship
doing while the airship is maneuvering?
Thus far nothing has been done to-
ward testing the ability of gunners
on land or on ships to check the ap-
proach Of an airplane. Some expert
ments have been tried in Germany with
balloons. even dirigibles being sent
aloft without pilots and fired at. with re-
suits which have not yet been dis
closed. No airplanist has yet appeared
who is willing to take the sky end of
such a test. Thus. whatever may be
as to the ability of the
airplanist as a ship destroyer. the real
value of the experiment remains unde
termined until it can be found whether
or not a battleship can defend itself
against such attacks.

The hop toad is no beauty,
He cannot sing q note.
But yet when he's on duty,
ALL night a-down his throat
Bad bugs go in procession
He eats them by the peck;
Oh, youth! IT'S grave transgression
To hit him in the neck.
His breath is nothing baneful!
His touch promotes no wart;
Away with legends painful!
The toad's another sort.
He wanders in the shrubbery,
To catch the Grant worm;
To scorn him is hubdubbery,
So scientists affirm.
He wouldn't bite your finger,
He has way to sting
Long may he live and linger,
This kindly, useful thing.

Yet gossip says he's evil:
