Now that the permit-issuing privilege of the chief of police has been restored by the District Commi: ners, the small boy ant the small boy’s parents may celebrate the Fourth of July in accordance with time- honored custom. All that the celebrant needs is a sufficiency of the harmless v y of fireworks and legal permission to turn them loose. This means—from the public standpoint—that everyone ts at lib- erty to destroy all manner of fireworks, save only te those that may reasonably be rmed dangerous. From the official stand- . it means that responsibility has been ansferred to the shoulders of the chief of pol », who has practically been directed to issue permits to the thousands who will apply for them before the closing office hour next Friday. great number unne y The issuing of such a of individual permits is really it volves personal applica- tion, and a vast quantity of clerical work: n will undoubtedly have to be from street duty to act as clerks. er way, the businesslike way, the way, would be for the chief of ecess; sensible police to issue a general permit to all the resicents of the District of Columbia, speci- fying, however, that the use of firearms or the explosion of cannon crackers cannot be allowed under any circumstances. Such a proclamation would save an immense amount of labor, and would accomplish all that ean be done by the individual permit. As a matter of fact, It will not be possible for policemen to exercise such close super- vision of affairs as the permit system pre- suppo: It is not imagined, when there are known to be many thousand permits in n, that policemen will require all ms engaged in the ignition of fire ers to show lawful credentials for so ing. The permits will, doubtless, be oad y e-ns rued—no official is going to in- t that each child be equipped with a license—why then would it not be much the better way to grant omnibus permission with proper restrictions? —__ =___ Save the Shade Trees. Official Philadelphia is engaged just now in a campaign against the caterpillar. In ashington the caterpillar is not being seriously annoyed. If he takes a fancy to any particular tree he rarely suffers any interference in his efforts to secure pos- Absence of funds has prevented activity by the Parking Commission, le only a few householders have taken any real interest in a matter which is of real importance. In Brooklyn there exists and flourishes a society devoted to the slaughter of all tree-defacing insects; mem- bership in the organization insures the welfare of trees and shrubs on and adjacent to the member's premises. Such an associ- ation might be possible in this city, if it was started by the right kind of people. The Philadelphia method is, however, the proper one. The trees are municipal prop- erty and should therefore be cared for by pal authorities. We are without ary municipal funds just now so ‘s the duty of private citizens to do what they can in the way of prevention or cure in order that the shade trees of which we are so proud be not rendered use- less and repulsive. ———_ + = —__ A brilliant literary light was extinguished ay when Harriet Beecher Stowe went to reward. Remarkably endowed, she it becom her used her talents for great purposes and with marvelous effect. An estimate of the value of her works may not easily be made, but it is a rational assertion to state that “Uncte Tom's Cabin"—which first appeared as a serial in The National Era, published in this was one of the most potent of all the anti-slavery forces. Millions of men and women who owe their freedom partly to her pen will join In the mourning con- sequent upon her decease. > e- —_____ In spite of the work ahead of him this summer, there may be some comfort to Senatcr Hill in the thought that there will for a long time be no call for him to come forward as the “champion of the adminis- ————s ————— ‘The obstacle to fizding @ suitable man to represent the democratic party may not have wholly disappesred, but the difficulty about finding somebody to accept the nom- ination has dwindied very much. ——_ + e+ Major McKinley would like to know why Mr. Whitney finds it necessary to go to Chicago for a good gold platform when Mr. Henna is offering the same article ready-made. ———_- + e+ The free and unlimited coinage of politi- cal promises will go on unchallenged for several months to come. ——_< e+___ A Democratic Quandary. It is among the political probabilities that gold democrats will bolt the Chicago con- vention just as silver republicans declared their Independence at St. Louis. Up to this time there has been no testimony to the existence of a spirit of compromise in the hearts of the silver democrats who wiil con- trol the Chicago gathering, so the odds are favorable to a division of the democratic forces, which will most likely result in in- ternecine strife at least as troublesome as that which disturbs the republicans. It does not appear that the gold democrats have as yet decided to bolt: they are dis- cussing the situation and find it difficult to reach a conclusion, because while principle urges them to insist upon a sound currency partisan argument {s tugging at their coat- tails and demanding loyalty to democratic doctrine as it is expounded by a majority of the democratic party. In the course of this struggle some of the weaklings will doubt- less succumb to numbers and vociferous- ness, but much the larger percentage of those who are opposed to the silver stan- ard will stand firm, prepared to do what they can toward maintaining the national credit, no matter what the names on the ticket which they vote. True men never attempt to compromise wth conscience; they refuse to listen to sophistries in which it is insinuated that honesty Is not always the best policy. Such men in the democratic party who are convinced that silver mono- metallism means national disaster are now wondering what they ought to do to assist im preserving, untarnished, the national financial honor. The problem is one of ex- treme intricacy. Democrats who have been 80 because of conviction cannot easily vote an out-and-out republican ticket, even though the republican platform should be altogether satisfactory, nor can they feel satisfied that it is their duty to organize a gold democracy which shall oppose not only the silver democracy but also the re- publican ticket, which ts pledged practically to gold. Those who are likely to bolt at Chicago would, of course, be pleased with democratic success at the polls, provided that success did not mean a debased cur- rency, but their principal concern is now as to finance without regard to mere party designations: they are anxious and willing to do all within their power to at once ad- vence the cause of democracy and sound money. The puzzle ts how to do this. Some who have pondered over the matter do not believe it can be done by putting a gold democratic ticket in the field, the argument being that the clection would then almost surely be thrown into the House, and Mc- Kinley would be elected. The cause of sound money would be safe enough if that happened, but the democracy would be left. On the other hand, a gold democratic ticket might so divide the believers in good cur- rency as to bring about the election of the silver democrat, in which event the democ- racy would be a winner but sound-money be completely knocked out. If there is not a bolt at Chicago a great many sound-money democrats will be dis- appointed; they must then either vote for McKinley or stay away from the polls; they cannot vote for free silver: they know that within the democratic bait is the free coin- age hook. If there is a bolt and a gold democratic ticket, will the results be more favorable to the sound-money cause than direct voting for the republican ticket by the small fraction of sound-money demo- crats who can bring themselves to do so, and abstention from voting by numerous stay-at-homes? This is the main problem to be solved by the sound-money democrats at Chicago. ——_+-+___ Cuba’s Climate and Cuban Liberty. Partisan censorship of the press and of press dispatches by Spanish officials has deprived the world of much interesting in- formation as to the situation in Cuba, but enough of the truth leaks out to reveal a deplorable state of affairs on the island. Discussing the waste of life in Cuba, the Medical Record says. “To whichever side of the present de- plorable contest in Cuba one’s sympathies may Incline, no one can contemplate the terrible sacrifice of human life in the island without a feeling of horror and of the deepest commiseration for the poor vic- tims and those who mourn for them in the mother country. Although the rainy sea- son has but just begun, the loss of life in the army of occupation is already appall- ing. According to the reports received by the Marine Hospital Service in Washington from the sanitary inspector in Havana and by the State Department from the United States consuls in Cuba, both yellow fever and smallpox are epidemic in nearly all the seacoast cities and in many of the interior arts of the island. The number of deaths due to them during the past few weeks has been very large, and not less than seven per cent of the Spanish troops were suf- ferers from them in the first three weeks of the month of May. Of three thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven deaths in the Spanish army in the island since the beginning of March, no fewer than three thousand one hundred and ninety, it is said, were caused by the vomits.” The influences of pestilence upon the cam- paign have frequently been referred to, but it is not generally understood how potent those influences are. It is stated, upon good authority, that Gen. Weyler himself was frightened back to Havana by the danger of contagion, aithough he had started out to take command of troops in the field. Yellow fever and smallpox are not, however, the only allies that are work- ing to free Cuba; there is a malarial fever of a deadly variety, and it has attacked the Spanish soldiers who defend the trocha which in theory has the Cuban forces sep- arated and keeps them apart. Most of the Spaniards are young men, who are away from their native land for the first time; homesickness and the depression necessa- rily consequent upon the fearful death-rate have combined to weaken the strongest and to encourage the spread of disease.

A Patriotic Episode. With martial tread the small boys went To the home of the District government. They flaunted flags of defiance there And cannon crackers they waved in air. And then wide open a casement flew And a brave Commissioner came to view. “Shoot, if you must, at home,” he said. “But spare that dangerous old woodshed!” She Felt Reassurcd. “What we want Is to have money getting into circulation. It’s the duty,” he said, excitedly, “of every citizen to exert himself to secure that end.” “John, dear,” said his wife, “I'm so glad to hear you say so. I want to order ever so many things at the store, but I hesi- tated about doing it, for fear you wouldn't want to see the money getting out of your hands into circulation.” Shifted Responsibilities, Once more vacation pastimes live; They come, those days that youth loves best.

A Friendly Feeling. “No, sth,” said Colonel Carter to the man with small, angry-look'ng spots on his forehead, “I shall not puhmit you t6 abuse the mosquito in my presence. I used to dislike them, but now I am one of the stanchest friends that a mosquito has.” 1, they annoy one,” replied the man with the spots. “Of cohse. But they must live. Why complain because the mosquito stays up all night and has his collations, his songs and his aftuh-dinner speeches?” “You secm to feel very kindly toward the brute.” “1 have reason to. Let me tell you, suh, that a mosquito once saved the life of a friend of mine. My friend told me the story himself. We were speaking of large mosquitoes, and he said that he once found himself in a prohibition town, where the moequitoes were larger than any he had ever seen. The party he was with had a bottle, but no corkscrew, and they would have perished with thirst if they had not taken one of these mosquitoes, extracted his bill and used it to get the cork out. That mosquito was a martyr, suh, and ever since that time, suh, I have respected him and all his relations.” Our Prices Are Not High For PHOTOS.
