DEMOCRATS Will
CARRY THE HOUSE
Senator Bailey, of Texas, Thinks They
Have a Good Chance and is San
euine of Victory.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Jo-
seph w. Bailey of Texas is not only
confident that the Democrats will car
nv the house in November. but he is
sanguine that the result will help the
party nationally.
Il am not able to speak with knowl-
edge about the political condition
throughout the country, as | have
spent the last two months at home
where, of course, there is no sem
blance of a contest. But on my way
home l met a number of persons from
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky
representing every variety of political
opinion and affiliation. From the
views they expressed it is certain we
will carry the congressional elections
this fall by a good majority.
81 do not share the apprehensions
of those who fear that Decorate
majority in the next house would i'm
pair chances for Democratic success
in 1872" said the senator, in answer
to a question pertinent to his reply
"Of course, if we should control the
house and show an incapacity to meet
and discharge the responsibility which
must always rest upon the majority
our success would be a positive mis-
fortune to us. But if we cannot con
duct the business of the house il
would be we'll enough for the country
to be advised before it commits to us
the administration of the entire gov
eminent. l do not myself distrust
the capacity of the Democratic party
to administer the government, and
am more than willing to see it sub
jected to the test of the house of rep
Iresentatives. If a Democratic MAORI
ty in the next house behaves itself
with good judgment and firmness il
will do much to dispel the fears OF
those who might otherwise hesitate
to vote us into power. and should be
come a source of strength instead Of
weakness. Those doubling Demo
Gratis who read party disaster pay {
poor compliment to Democratic wis
dom and Democratic patriotism. The!
ought to dismiss their fears and joil
with their brothers everywhere in al
earnest effort to achieve a decisiv
victory"

walton in Washington fresh fires have
broken out and the superintendent
has asked for troops.
Company commanders of troops
near Delton, Montana, and in the Lolo
forest reserve, report that the snow

mountain tops lately has proved a
great help to the firefighters and the
need for the troops is practically past.
The forest service is at a loss to
understand why no word has been
received from oregon forest reserve

the Bull Run watershed, if they have
not already destroyed its effective

A GOOD PRECEDENT.

Whatever the rights of wrongs as between the
Henry Ward delegation in Council and candidate
Steiner, who, after declaring that he had been
promised the support of the majority of the dele
cation, withdrew from the race, the result will,
we hope, establish the precedent for the future
of real election to vancances in its organiza-
ton by the Council itself.
As the Firg'nian pointed out when it was first
bruted that Mr.. Steiner had secured the endorse
ment of a majority of the delegation from his
ward, it is no part of councilmans business
10 dictate his associates. He is himself selection
of the people of the ward, and in the interim be-
tween the regular nominating primaries, it is the
people who ought still to influence the selection
of members 10 fill vacancies. This, il is true,
must actually be done by the Council but it
should he done in the spirit of responsibility ac-
cepted by the whole chamber, rather than through
formal acquiescence in the recommendation of a
few members Of the chamber.

AS TO CIVILIZATIONS.

Quoting the statement of the Springfield Re-
publican to the effect that there is no excuse tor
cholera except filth, and that twenty thousand
cases reported from Russia within one week raise
the question of that country's civilization the
Progressive Farmer makes this terse and biting
comment:
Let MS look al it another way In
the United States over 10000 people
die of typhoid every year. There is no
excuse for typhoid except filth, and filth
is no credit to a modern civilized coun-
q, try. Are we so perfectly civilized our
selves that We have time TO spend crit
icising other countries y
We would all do better if we would in
dividualv and collectively put this question TO
conditions within our States, our cities and our
selves. Typhoid fever. the scourge of every
locality in the land. is but one indication of a
condition that is most Of all careless of tho finer
meaning of civilization. 1t furnishes, however,
a particularly striking illustration in that 1t IS
spread by the criminal careessness of the indlvld-
ual. individuals like to take chances, es-
pecallv with sloth and the dirt that follows upon
fhe man who places his stable on bill over
looking his spring endangers not only his own
health. but contamnates the streams from which
his neighbors also must drink The man who
maintains dirty premises, who breeds flies, not
only is indifferent to the health and lives of
himself and his own, but is regardless also OF
the health of others. The city that leaves its
streets in filthy condition that fails to clean out
It's disease cesspools cannot logically depend upon
its fine buildings, its manufactures and its rail
roads to overweight its fundamental neglect of
the people who make the city. And so long as the
several States and the Government continue to
carefully legisae for the protection of live stock
while they begrudge law which will safeguard
the lives of babies, there will rest against them
the same Indictment that lies against countries
such as Russia, where the principle of human
freedom has not yet even perceived the dawn.
| il will mark an epoch in this country when for
all the pride of growth and power, it Is remem-
berod that civilization is vet far ways off. When
it is recalled that civilization in its last analysis
is not baftleships, not exports, not population
nor per capita wealth, but love incorporated

statute and by force if necessary, shall shift from

The Army and Navy journal is authority for
the statement that in the opinion of the Judge
Advocate General the action of General Wother-
spoon in trying by petty court the negro soldier
who drew a weapon on white officer at the
Gettysburg encampment was not only within his
rights, but was indicative Of both tact and dis
cretjon. We for the moment forget who is the
Judge Advocate General, but it is evident that
his ideas of military discipline were conned from
the same book which Roosevelt consulted when
he wrote the Round Robin from Cuba.
