4 _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. Ji june 6, At Minneapolis it is not so much a question Of fitness as nerve. Both of the eminent states- men contending for the prize or whose for- tunes are thus brought to the test are every way Worthy of the honor and the trust of the presi- dency. Mr. Harrison, for over three years, has served the nation faithfully as its chief magis- trate, assisted by the remarkable man whom so many Americans admire above all other public men. Mr. Blaine’s career has shown more and more his capacity for dealing with the largest questions in the largest manner, and there is absolutely no doubt that the old argument of his impulsiveness has lost force since his last administration of the office of Secretary of State. The nominee of the convention may be ‘neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Harrison, for repub- ean conventions have bad a habit of selecting coolly the best man to run, and not being stampeded to any one powerful candidate unless beforehand the sense of the party inclines irre- sistibly that way. Whether it be the incum- bent, the Maine statesman or “some other good man,” the great work done for the public by both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine will be ‘unaffected by the result at Minneapolis. As to the principle struggle in the convention, it would seem from what is known that there ‘has not been in years @ more earnest and well fought contest. The leaders are well matched and the forces at command, apparently, nearly equally divided. What will conclude the con- flict may not be foreseen, at least not in any Very definite sense. A number of things enter into the calculation. The convention will prob- ably be in session several days settling contests for seats and the matter of temporary organi- zation. This delay in getting down to business will be used to strengthen or weaken the respec- tive sides in the controversy. The decisive action may not be taken until late in the pres- ent or even far into the succeding week. But it is likely not to be delayed very long after prelimi- nary questions are settled and the drift of the undecided delegations or members is ascer- taaed _—s Floods have been unusually destructive this year. Oil fires are always likely to take place in the oil region. Seldom does » combination of food and fire work such devastation and in- spire such alarmas the midnight terror that fell upon the people of Titusville and Oil City, Pennsylvania, and, indeed, throughout the whole of that section. The country has suf- fered fearfully from the breaking of dams in small rivers and the resulting overflow of densely populated valleys. It seems that while the recent extraordinarily heavy rains were in- sufficient to have swollen Oil creek to abnormal size, it was the imperfection of » dam that caused the stream to get beyond all former bounds and prepare the way for the bursting of the oil tanks. Ignition following, the flames spread with alarming rapidity and scores, possibly bundreds, of people pent up by the flood in their houses were burned without the possi- bility of escape. Further investigation may throw additional light on the origin of the catastrophe, but it is clear now that persons re- siding in thickly settled industrial centers, ‘Where the leading industry or industries are pursued under a constant sense of peril, cannot safeguard themselves too carefully, no matter ‘at what cost of time, labor or money. No dams ought to be permitted of a size sufficient to pond up the great mass of water in a bold or large stream, and such bafriers as are built across a considerable creek or river should be provided with fumes able to release the flood. ‘This provision of « safe sluiceway in reservoirs might bave saved numerous lives and large Property in times past. —————_+++___ ‘The recent extension in this conntry and Great Britain of copyright protection to news- paper articles has awakened interest as to what the courts would hold in a well-defined case Under the law. The English courts having decided that « piece of news cannot be co; Fighted as news simply, that is, in its substance, the copyright question seems to tarn on the ‘value of copyright of special news and contrib- uted matter as to its form. The London Times, which copyrights its matter as a whole, ‘hes just obtained decision which prohibiz other journals from copying without charge its special dispatches, correspondence and speci ally contributed articles. A? American courts ure inftuenced by English precedents to a comsider- able extent it may be reasonably expected that similar decisions will be pronounced on this side the Atlantic whenever an infringement of the copyright shall have taken pkice Asa matter of simple justice, both to the public and ‘the particular publisher. the Englivdh decision cited seems very timely and proper under all the circumstances. The formof sp‘sial matter is Protected, while the substance «f nev: is de- elared to be puulic property. —— There is zo more in the ery on one side that ‘the backers of Mr. Blaine are diseppointed of- fice seekers than there is on the other that the backers of Mr. Harrison tre grateful office holders. Office holders are always expected to shout for their creator, and office seckers to clamor fora new dispenser of patronage, but probably there never was at any national con- Yention so many oftice holiers actively working for their chief as at Minneapolis. The campaign songster has been in a state of repression from whith he will be liberated to some extent by the decision of the convention. His personel preferences do not figure in his view of the situation berond the consideration ‘that it is easier to find rhymes for Blaine than for any other name before the convention. —_- +. The weather bureau ought toLe safe in pre- isting an absence of thunder storms. With the electricity so much in denaand for telegraph purposes from Minneapolis it seems doubtful Whether nature could get up a thunder peal Joud enough to drown @ watch tick. General Alyer's withdrawal shows that he is entitled to credit for the eminently admirable sort of v isdom that enables a man w tell when to lay down Lis bend. ———+-_____ The question of Mr. Blaine’s successor, which would ordinarily be one of supreme interest, sinks into silent obscurity in the presence of the Minneapolis convention. —_——_--—__ The nominating speeches, both at the Minneapolis and the Chicago conventions, rill no dout* be caleulated to make the American eagle plume herself over the thonght of what a fine brood she has. 23 ‘The astronomer, Flammarion, has discovered that Europe is cooling of. This must be a Irumiliation to the yurng German emperor after bis efforts to make things warm. ————_+-+___ Perbaps it sa pity that « nominating conven-| tion could not'be beld during the world’s fair. Is would interest foreign visitors very much. ——__+ It remains to be seen whether Uncle Sam will ‘an admission ticket to the White House. ——_ +2 Mr. Blaine and Mr. Harrison are both admira- ble exponents of the concise school of epistol- ary literature. es It ie possible that the officeholders now at Mr. Blaine’s campaign heen’t a sign of dys- peyein Fon “Roveasse Te: iz RY: ito sacrifice tothe dust and dirt of travel?
