LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
MONGOLIA AND TAKAO-kAN.
, the Editor cf The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In connection with the statement
of Captain Kit of the Mongolia regaru-
ing the refusal by the japanese WarShip
Takao-kan of aid in attempting to re-
float the steamer, it may be fair 10 hear
the other side of the story. in the shape
of a report to the Imperial Department of
the Navy from the captain of the Jap
anese warship, which was pubi1shed III
Japanese papers as follows:
The Mongolia ran aground while under
a full steam. Her draft was 20 feet ana
the depth of the sea IS feet at high llde;
She carried nine hundred passengers ana
twelve thousand tons of cargo on board
When the Takaokan entered the harpor
of Shimizu on July Is, the chief mate OF
the Mongolia came with the request hnat
the TakaO-kan should be used in pulling
the steamer off the ground. But it was
considered to be of no effect to attempt the
hauling of such big steamer as the Mon
golia (27,000 tons) by such a small cfdIt
as the Takac-kan G,7H tonsj, not 10
consequence ! could not comply with the
request, so long the Mongolia was IN
the present condition. At the same time, |
offered to render all possible assistance IN
an officer to the Mongolia 10 make q
further offer of assistance. But so Tar no
request has been made. On the fou0Wlng
day the Mongolia began to unload Her
cargo. If the ship is lightened she Will
float easily.
The above report seems to show the
groundlessness of imputing the japanese
captain with unwllingness to render any
assistance in his power.

rGMPLTSIOA.

The Brooklyn Eagle" replying to a
paragraph in which we smiled at Sena-
tor David 3. Hills taking Il leading part
in directing the affairs of the regenerated
Democracy. advises The Tribune, as u
Republican newspaper, TO cast no stones.
II intimateS that SO far as the Republi-
can nartv has reformed it has done
50 under compulSion from Governor
Hughes and that the process is incom-
plete and imperfect.
Well. grant the compulsion. The trOu
BILE with the Democracy is that nobody
has taken the trouble or had the courage
TO exercise compulSion upon it in favor
of better things It has had no Hughes,
and there is not diScernible within it
any movement comparable to the
Hughes movement in this state or the
Progressive movement elsewhere in the
Republican party The Saratoga League
did not exercise any compulSion upon it
III favor of righteousness. The league
went about protesting that it did not
intend TO do anything to unseat the
selfish politicians who control it or to
arouse the conscience of the party
against them. The Democratic party will
never become good except by compulsion.
And compulsion has all along been

SOME CUBAN VAG4RIES.

If we were TO believe all the tales
which come out of Cuba or all the Yatic-
nations Of disaster which are made
hv thoughtless or interested persons
elsewhere. we should be compelled to
conclude that the affairs Of that island
Were indeed in a desperate way. 1t
would be idle. of course, TO pretend that
there were no troubles or problems
there or no dangers. II is true that the
coming general election will be Of great
importance. il is also possible that the
republic will not be able TO solve all its
Droblems and 10 overcome all its diff
culfies. But we can see no reason for
despair or for ceasing TO hope and TO
expect that after, and, indeed, because
Of. period of probation and some tribu-
lation the insuiar republic will find it
SELF and settle down 10 u stable and
prosperous career.
The chief ailments OF Cuba are identi-
cal with ~8h0Se which We're observed
during Governor Macoon's administra-
ficn. and which have hitherto been dag
nosed in these columns. CubanS have
not yet generally acquired the true the
ory Of government. They want TO get
n living out of politics. or they are un-
willing TO do serious work in the public
service. or else they want to undo
everything which has been done and
make everything over anew The fail
lire of the Legislature to enact needed
measures illustrates one phase of the
trouble. the same one which brought the
Palma administration 10 grief. Mem
beers did little or nothing during the ses-
sion. hut adjourned full Of zeal for the
ucsy electoral campaign. We have seen

RUSSIA. IOWA AND OTHER PLACES

The news from Russia is distressing.
The cholera which we used TO call Asi-
attic. and which often appeared in Hin
dustan and in Arabia Felix, but which in
recent years has been more associated
with Southern Russia than with any
other country, is III ging with exceptional
virulence throughout q large part of Eu
ropean Russia, especially in the prov
inces bordering on the Euxine and the
Baltic We hear of thousand deaths
Il day and of mortality of nearly 30
per cent of those stricken, and thus far
there is no indication Of abatement, but
rather steady and rapid aggravation
of the dreadful conditions. There is
probably little danger of any serious eX-
tension of the epidemic to other coun-
tries, surely not TO the United States.
We have got beyond the days of bond
age to fear when pestilence was sup
posed to ride freely upon the winds Of
heaven. But it is an awful thing to see
the most populous parts of the most
populouS empire of Europe so scourged.
It would be easy to be censoriOus and
TO attribute the Russian plague truly
enough to the ignorance. squalor and I'M
cleanliness Of the masses of the Russian
people and to the "infinite torment Of
flies" from which they supinely suffer
Yet it will be more consistent and dis
Greet to forbear For here is the secre-
taly of the State Board Of Health Of
Iowa officially reporting that in that
state one-third Of the babies under one
year old have died this summer. chiefly
from causes which every sanitarian re-
CARDS as largely if not entirely pre-
ventable Infantile cholera. infantile
paralysis. poor milk and improper care
head the roll. From such causes perish
yearly one-third of the infants ia one Of
the most enlightened and progressive
states of this Union, Il state of two and
a half million people.
On the whole. therefore. ii will be best
for us to refrain from casting the con-
tumeliouS stone at cholera -smitten Rus~
Sia. Indeed. we have no doubt thai vital
statistics could be found III other parts
Of this country, perhaps on the island
of Manhattan itself which would be lit
tie less reproachable than the death roll
OF E3katerinoSiav. Within cur own gen
eration the science of saving life from
curable and preventable diseases has.

DRUMMoND QUIETLY MARRIED
Commissioner Sailed Away with Bride
Day After Ceremony.

1t has become known that when Michael
J. Drummond, Commissioner of Charities.
sailed for Europe on the Rotterdam on
Tuesday he took with him a bride of less
than twenty-four hours The night before
he was married to Mrs. Helen NJ. Bissett,
of No, so West 144th street. She is thirty
two years old and he is fifty-nine
Mr. Drummond is the third husband Of
the bride. One is dead. The separation
from the other was granted by a divorce
in Sioux Falls on November ., 1903. Mr.
Drummond was a widower. He has five
children and three grandchildren. Only the
immediate family knew of his approaching
marriage.

4 TURN IN THE TIDE.

The Indictment in Newark, Ohio, of
fifteen persons for participation in the
lynching of Carl Etherington, an officer
Of the Anti-Saloon League, probably
marks turning of the tide in popular
complacency toward mob violence. The
Governor of Ohio and the legal authori-
ties in Licking County have shown
every disposition to treat the murderers
Of Etherington just like any other MUIR
deTers. The Mayor of Newark acted on
the once widely prevalent view that
citizens bent on taking the law into
their own hands should not be llnduly
interfered with. He did nothing to auell
the riOting which preceded the lynching.
and Governor Harmon removed him
from office for negligence. Now the
courts are to try the lynchers as COM
mon murderers, ignoring the usual pre-
trnce that they were acting as a sort
Of vigilance committee, merely anticipat-
ing the formal operations of justice.
Such matter-of-fact way of treating
lynchers is likely to discourage those
who think that they can take life as an
organized mob and escape individual re-
sponsibhity afterward. In many Ameri-
mobs have gone TO little trouble to CON
ceal their identity. They have counted
Oh the indulgence of their fellow citi-
zenS and even boaSted that no grand jury
could be found to indict them. They
have, in fact. seldom been indicted. Re-
Gently the Sheriff of Hamilton County.

suffered an excessive penalty for "A
trivial lapse and made Il ''hero' ont of
him. Where such sentiment prevails

too, begin 10 consider themselves popu-
lar heroes

for them would go far toward introduc-
