Probably no one will ever know precisely
what caused the disaster in Baltimore
harbor yesterday. when the steamer Alum
Chine, loading with dynamite for the
Panama canal, caught fire and was COM
pletely destroyed by an explosion that
cost the lives Of from forty to fafty peo-
pie and a property damage Of from $780,
600 to $500, 080 The best credited testi-
mony available indicates that fire started
in the forward coal bunkers of the Alum
Chine and reached the dynamite before
bulkheads could be closed and before the
crew and stevedores could escape. Owing
to the fact that the naval collier Jason,
recently completed In Baltimore ana
making ready for ofiicial trial, was badly
damaged, the United States government
will take q hand In the investigation.
which viii probably be thorough. Still. It
Is doubtful whether much can be learned

tragedy. II u should prove that the

with all Of its industry and discipline. but
never in safe Of relaxation. Whether
defeated or victorious. It goes its way
with a purpose. and keeps on keeping on.
Heretofore our presidential and con-
gressional results have been obtained In
a sort Of hapaaxard fashion. Contests
have been between militiamen. Forces
have been hurriedly drummed up, and
put in charge. Some battles have been
won by fiukes. Very few have been won
by skill. Half-baked conditions and ma
neuvers have cost both the country and
the contestants heavily.
To the extent that this can be corrected
by keeping trained men on sentinel
duty for the purpose OF reporting prompt
IL upon changing conditions here ana
there, SO as to bring party forces into
the field for effective action whenever
the times come. the new order is per-
suasive. 1t will not, of course, insure
against changing conditions. nor against
the going of voters from one party TO
another In obedience to a change Oh
opinion upon conviction. But 1T Will en-
able party managers to take note ut once
Of the effect Of new lines of discussion
of public issues upon the electorate, ana
to endeavor to strengthen any weak
ulaces that may show in their respective
before great damage has
been done.
Our public affairs have reached that
point where they need the sleepless eyes
Of trained observers They are as COM
pick as important. The standard advice
IN the orator is audacity. That to the
political general is organization and Wig
.ilance. He should know his own, "nere
they are, and what doing. If any are
diser,ntied he should inquire the cause.
If any are lukewarm he should heat them
up. And those who are full OF ngnt
should be encouraged to a greater hur-
rah.
This is the era of publicity and con-
tinuity. The people are curious. and Will
he eratified. The shows never STOP And
as are the movies" so also should pe

The Expected Tariff Message.

4 one-topic message is. expected from
MIR. Wilson, The democratic leaders In
Congress want him to fix attention on
the tariff, and think that by doing SO he
will materially aid them in their work
of revision. 1t will not be easy in any
circumstances, and they will need all the
help they can get.
II will be remembered that the most
famous of Mr.. Cleveland's messages dealt
with but one topic, and that the tarin.
He sent it in at the beginning OF the
regular session in December, 1881, and
il created sensation. He had been
nearly three years in bringing himself
to the act Taking Office In March, IooO'
ne had approached the tarih gingeriy
because of a frankly confessed ignorance
of the subject. But, at last, when ne
felt himself good and ready, he nred
away.
The volume of sound amazed him. Re-
verberations came from every section OF
the country Europe heard the report,
and sat bolt up. Free trade democrats
shouted for joy. Here was the evangel
they had long been praying for. Pro-
tection democrats groaned with pain.
Here, they feared, was paper that
would cause their party's undoins. re
publicans sang a hallelujah. Mr.. Blame
leading the chorus. They saw IN the
message a winning issue for themselves
in next years campaign.
So great was the excitement proouceo
that Mr. Cleveland's courage soon began
To ooze. BY next summer 1t had entirely
disappeared, and at the democratic ma
tional convention that year retreat from
the message was attempted Mr.. Cor
man. a protectionist, appeared as q DELE
gate and. with Mr.. Clevelands knowi-
edge and consent, sought to have a COM
nronise tariff plank inserted In the plat
form
Rut the free traders would not hear to
the proposition They controlled the
platform committee. and held MT. CieVe-
land to his message. He was renomi-
mated by reclamation, but on PLATFORM
which declared for q tariff for revenue
only. and he was beaten at the polls.
Mr.. Wilson is not a tariff specialist
but is much more widely informed on
that and all other subjects than was Mr.
Cleveland. How win he handle It? And
what win be the effect of his deliver
ance? And, II the commotion is great,
how will his staying qualities compare,
or contrast, with Mr.. Cleveland's?
The House which received Mr.. Cleve-
lard,s message was presided over by
Jobn g. Carlisle. intellectually the fore
most democrat Of his day. and con-
WINGED revenue tariff advocate. The
chairman Of ways and means was roger
O. Mills, in agreement with Mr.. Carlisle
ON the subject. but too fiery ana fmpetu-
Gus for successful leadership. Mr.. Clark
Is Of the Carlisle tariff school, and very
able man, while Mr.. Underwood, also
thoroughly capable. is an Improvement on
Mr.. Mills in the matter Of temperament.
The Mills bill failed because OF repub-
lican Senate. But democratic Senate
will receive Mr.. Underwood's bills. and
they. in some form. should reach the
White House.
