Another word In favor of establishing democratic headquarters here in Washing- ton may not be inappropriate. That the town is in a political sense central; that records may be more easily corsulted here than elsewhere: that the local press is Independent and fair in the presentation of news matter—all of this has been told and is admitted. But some recent experiences of Chairman Jones must have convinced rim that as between Washington and New York this city would insure him the greater comfort and convenience. Just after the Chicago convention Mr. Jones came here for a brief rest, and found it necessary to run over to New York on a little private busiress. Instantly the wires to the west were crowded with stories representing Mr. Jones ag being in town ‘Hckering with sound money democrats. The populists, on the eve of assembling in national convention at St. Louis, were thrown into a flutter of indignation. What did this mean? Were they to be sold out? Mr. Jones repked with an explicit denial of the yarns, and when he appeared in person ir St. Louis a few days later ampli- fled the denial by word of mouth. But the Popul'sts remained a little distrustful, and Mr. Jones did not fully accomplish the ob- Ject of his visit to the populist convention. The New York fiction still clung to him. A second viSit of Mr. Jones to the me- tropolis has ended In something of the same kind. While absent he met Senator Hill, and as was natural enough talked over matters in a general way with him. But populisttc centers in the middle states and threughout the west are now disturbed over reports of the meeting, which repre- sent Mr. Jones as taking Mr. Hill up on to an eminence and offering him great influence with the Bryan outfit if he will hetp put ft into office. This also Mr. = denies, but of course the denial will never overtake the yarn. The more sensi- tive and suspicious of the populists will continue to believe that the democratic chairman fs too close while in New York to gold-bug Influences. This is politics—polttics especially during @ presidential campaign, when invention is at a premium and everything goes. But In this town men meet as upon neutral ground. Both gold bugs and silver bugs are welome, and the presence of either or of both in town admits of no interpretation injurious to anybody. Washington is the town for democratic headquarters—full of conveniences for party managers, and of welcome for men of all organizations. +o Horses to Be Made Happy. Humane people generally and lovers of horseflesh in particular can hardly be herwise than delighted at the apparently sincere announcement that motor cars will succeed horses on the Eckington and Belt Hines within a reasonable period of time. As to the variety of motor to be experi- mented with or adopted there is much pub- lic carelessness; compressed air, compressed steam, gas, electricity, anything, so long as it brings about the liperation of the most miserzble-appearing lot of horses that ever dragged street<ars along the high- ways of a city. The extremely warm her from which mankind and animals have alike suffered of late has added to the disabilities and discomforts with which the Belt line and Eckington horses are normally afflicted, but neither the heat nor the humidity can be held to responst- bility for the condition of the unfortunate equines. Poor, skeletonized brutes they are; their bones protrude almost through their dull hides; to lift their hoofs 1s over- exertion; to drag a car over a five-mile route means exhaustion. That the com- pany will be sorry to part with its horses is certain, for with the incoming of modern motive forces there must arrive new con- ditions with which compromises cannot be possible. The dally allowance of hay and corn may be reduced again and again until the horses get no more to eat than is ab- solutely essential to keep them alive, but if the company uses compressed air engines there can be no sf ing of the supply; if it adopts electricity there must be ample current. It has been suggested that the company has been using air instead of something more substantial as horsefeed; not condensed air, but just common, or- dinary air to which each horse is allowed to help himself. It will be a great relief to the horses and the public when the alr is pumped into cylinders and used for pro- pelling purposes instead of being called upon to act as an inexpensive substitute for oats. ——__+ +e —____ The familiar use of the first names of eminent men 1s sometimes an indication of popularity, but the practice should be dis- couraged rather than cultivated. There is something unpleasent in contemplating the fact that facetiously-inclined persons may have be-n moved to refer to “Hank Clay” and “Dan Webste —_++- im the Empire State. The New York democrats, with regard to their local fight, are experiencing a measure of the same embarrassment which has overtaken the republicans with regard to their national fight. They had arranged to make the campa‘gn fcr their state ticket on one line, and with what promised to be a united front, and now the whole face of the situation has changed. Where there was union there is division, and where no subject was discussed a few months ago but the Raines bill no subject ts heard now but sfiver. As late as the Ist of April the democrats were counting om a most signal triumph. ‘They were absolutely certain that the re- publicans had ruined themselves. Cand!- Gates for governor sprang up on every fand. Perry Belmont, after a retirement of half a dozen years, offered himself; John Boyd Thacher of Afbany ran up his flag, and, what lent particular zest to mat- ters, John B, Stanchfield of Fimira, Senator ‘Bie law partner and bosom friend, took the field. This looked decidedly Hke bus- ess, and that the democracy would not ‘oy WBandant - THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, UAUGUST' 8, 1896—-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, indecis‘on, and uncertainty. Mr. Belmont 1s an open kicker agafnst the Chicago ticket and platform, and Mr. Thacher does not approve them. Mr. Stanchfield does approve them, but that counts for nothing taken In connection with Mr. Hill’s s‘Ience. The state convention is only a month off. Both the state organization and the Tam- many organization are divided as to their duty toward the national ticket. Tammany has held a so-called ratification meeting, but the action taken did not express the sense of a untted hall. Serfous objection was offered, and since then General Sickles, @ prominent Tammany man, has declared Publicly for Mr. McKinley. Mr. Croker is put down as a sound money man. Outside of the hall there is the most formidable revolt against the national ticket. Mr. Whitney, Mr. Flower, Mr. Fairchild, Mr. Gover, General Tracey of Albany, Mr. Belmont, and the Reform Club to @ man, will not support it. Mr. Hill, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Sheehan, and Mr. Hinckley are withholding their fire, but they can hardly be counted as champions of the Cil- cago ticket. They may not bolt it. They may, after a fashion, accept it. But even if they do accept it, they can hardly be relied on to become effective workers for it. Can such a situation as this with regard to the national ticket be changed at this late day so as to afford any encourage- ment to the local ticket? The difficulty ap- pears to be insurmountable. Mr. Hill, it is said, has never before been so completely befogged. His concern is all for the state situation. The national situation promises nothing either to him or to the party. He considers the action taken at Chicago as a complete surrender to populism, and that the success of the coaKtion at the polls would involve straightout democrats in no end of difficulties. Still he does not care to bolt. His position ts different from that of Mr. Whitney, who ts and has always been a little free-hahded in politics. Mr. Hill is not only one of the regulars, but one of the leaders. He has incurred many obliga- tions, and is the kind of man who remem- bers and stands by his friends. But for- tune has made his road a hard one to travel this time, and that is why Chairman Jones is not trying to hurry him along. ——___ + e —____ Hospitality for Li Hong Chang. There are gcod substantial reasons why the Unitec States should be most hospitable in its treatment of Li Hung Chang, who Is expected to leave Europe for this country in a little while end who will go directly from San Francisco to his home in China. Foreign nations have been extremely liberal in their entertainment of the great Orlental statesman; not because they were especi- ally enaraored of him but because he rep- resents the wide-awake, up-to-date element in China; because if China is to speedily take place as one of the great powers of the east it will do so as the result of Li Hung Chang’s energy; because whatever of Chinese wealth may be expended for ships and guns and other expensive accessories of a modern nation it will be disbursed by Li Hung Charg. In European eyes he has teen the country storekeeper come to town for the purpose of laying in a stock of goods for the winter; a prospective cus- tomer who may by smooth treatment be cajoled into buying what he needs from the firm that treats him best. The shipbuiid- ing and gunmaking European nations have done their best in behalf of those of their citizens who are hopeful of securing the favor of Li Hung Chang and the dollars of the Flowery Kingdom; soon it will be the turn of the United States to make things as comfortable as possible for the man who if he is rot the actual ruler of the Celestial Empire is at least in possesston of the combination of the royal safe and who unquestionably has the power to sign checks. We can build ships here that are, we are satisfied, just a little bit hetter than any of the ships that are built elsewhere. We can make guns and projectiles that will smash the best European armor. We can make armor that will laugh, so to speak, at the efforts of European shells. Lt Hung Chang krows that geographically this is the most advantageous market; 1t is the duty of the représentatives of the re- public to make it apparent to the Chinese diplomat that there are other than geo- graphical reasons for buying munitions of war in the United States. The judicious expenditure of public funds in the enter- tainment of Prince Li may bring to this country a great deal of business. China is an inventive and an imitative nation, but heavy guns and armor plate are far beyond its present capacity. These will have to be purchased abroad. The only question now to be settled is, shall they be bought in Europe or tn the United States. Aside from these purely selfish considerations there are reasons why Li Hung Chang should be well treated. He is the greatest of his people and should be received as such. He is entitled to ail the honors that are likely to be suggested by the authori- ties aa appropriate features of his reception. ——_+ + +___ Fresh Alr for Poor Children. In winter when the frost king ts abroad and the biting winds assall those who are leest able to care for themselves charity provides shelter and food and fuel and clothing for those who are not able through their own exertions to secure the neces- [| saries of Hfe. Not so Tong ago charity rested in the summer time, but now the summer ts a season of gratifying activity. In winter there ts fresh alr in plenty, but in these latitudes in July and August the death-rate has annvally increased because children who are compelled to shiver in the January ozone must, unless they recefve assistance, perish in superheated rooms in odorous alleys. By-and-by the number of deaths of poor children by reason of the in- tense summer heat common in cities will have decreased to @ minimum. Tais may scon be the case in Washington, where no- ble men and women have banded them- selves together for the purpose of giving the children of the ‘slums opportunities to breathe a comparatively cool and strength- ening atmosphere. At the Children’s Coun- try Home and at the Children’s Salt Air Home at Colonial Beach scores of ves are annually saved. If only one child is turned into the path of cleanliness and upright- ness there is in that single salvation glory enough and recompense enough for all the expenditure of energy and money. Good people who have not hitherto imagined that charity made any demands during the dog- days might with profit to themselves con- tribute Mberally to the philancnropic cnter- prises that are using fresh air as an abPto 00d citizenship. ————_+ e+ __ Does the Quality Improvet In the current issue of Leslie's Monthly answer ts made to the question “How much money does ft cost to make an American President?” From that answer it appears that the ratio of campaign cost ts steadily ard startlingly on the increase. The statis- ticlan says that tn 1880 the republican na- onal committee received in subscriptions the sum of about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars; in 1884 the total was about six hundred thousand dollars; in 1888 the figures looked very much like eight hendrei thousand dollars; in 1882 the com- mittee disbursed more than a million dol- lars. It fs stated that the funds at the dis- posal of the democratic national commit- tee wers equal to those in the republican ‘exchequer. When the detailed expenditures are footed up It appears to be reasonably sure that the President-making operation four years ago cost somewhere between eight and ten millions, Political mathe- thatica may interest those who enjoy num- ter-juggling, but those who deal only with evident results may be excused if they want te kpow whether we are getting any more for our money today them we: didi! twenty or thirty or a hundred years ago. THE WEEK. This has been populist convention week; more interest than usual has been mani- festéd in. the conventions owing to curiosity as to what position would be taken on fusion with the democrats; as expected, fusion went through in the west and was made conditional in the south on the adop- tion of Watson tn place of Sewall as the vice presidential nominee; Nebraska popu- lists divided offices with the democrats; the populist convention of Georgia nomi- nated Seaborn Wright for governor; the Kansas populists nominated Senator Leedy for governor, and indorsed Bryan and Watson. The Kansas democratic conven- tion adopted the state ticket of the popu- lists. The Wisconsin republicans nomi- nated Mr. Schofield for governor. Mayor Pingree was nominated for governor by the republi¢ans of Michigan. The Maine democratic convention nominated M. D. Frank for governor and indorsed the Chi- cago platform; a bolt followed.
