Suppose in the middle west and in the berder southern states the situation about the middle of October indicates that the sound money cause has no votes to Spare; that if the battle for sound money is to be won there must be a union of sound money forces. Will sound money democrats in su ‘ances simpiy content them- selves with withholding a vote from Bryan and Sewall? With their interest in the suc- ance so strong, will not many throwing over their present hesi- go to the polls and vote direct for ¥ and Hobart? That would appear altogether probable, and, indeed, the cal outcome of this first courageous step men who will accept the Indianapolis nati will not be concerned about the size of the vote they may receive in No- vember. Like the men who will put them up, their chief desire will center in the effort to defeat the Chicago ticket. They will well understand that success for them is impos- sible. They will be in the fight only to pre- vent the triumph of what they denominate Populism, and they might be willing, in order to make that absolutely certain, to withdraw at the last moment and encourage the throwing of the votes intended for them to the republicans—a step which would just © the effectiveness of all that strength. see Swimming as a Necessity. n circum: cess of wise fi of them, tation, nothing extraordinary in the at the human disposition to make of cold water displays itself uously during such weat a great many teaches all animal kind to © heat in cool sing that so many people ath while endeavoring to re relief from torrid atmospheric cen- day we hear of the = of a considerable number of men. and children, who, because their 1 education had been should have remained on dry at many people can swim, but a ot.

Washington alwi shows a smaller number of cases of heat prostration and fewer deaths from Suustroke than any other Jai city; not only actually but proportionately less. At the same time the temperature here is hot @nough to rank this city as nearly equal te the prime leaders of the mercurial pro- @ession. The official records average quite hich on the banks of the Potomac, and with this indisputable fact staring us In the face we ask what is it that saves us from the intense suffering and the heavy | mortality that afflict other great commu- nities during the heated term? Perhaps the answer can be found in the width of the streets, the presence of shade trees and the parks, and the generally good hygientc conditions. The air, however hot it may be. is at liherty to circulate into the houses and can therefore bring relief to those who are compelled to reside therein. In other great centers sf population the breezes are often shut out from the living rooms and from the main thoroughfares themseives by the sky-scraping houses and the narrow highways. The wisdom of our local regulations preventing the erection of high buildings cught now to be apparent to all who know how terrible is the oppres- sion caused in other cities by the walling In of street after street with towering structures. The mcney invested here In perk areas, in shade trees, and in foun- tains is amply repaid during such a visi- | tation as this hot wave, and the taxpayer who remains in town during August should never again, if that has been his habit, | grumble at the necessary outla: soe Crime and Climate. It is by no means a new theory that crime and climate are associated, and more than once in recent years have deductions of an almost startling nature been drawn from coincidences between a succession of violent deaths and a period of exceptional weather. The intense heat, such as that endured by Washingtonians and their neighbors during the past week, is of the kind usually credited with such outbreaks of human passion, and certainly, gruesome as is the thought, there are surface indications or suggestions of a mysterious Influence wrought for evil by great excesses of temperature. Six deaths by violence have occurred in this vicinity during the past week, the period covered by the heat wave. Three murders—including the affray in Georgetown, which will prob- ably result fatally—have been committed within these few days in the immediate vicinity of Washington; and two suicides have been discovered. This is an unusual record, even for midsummer, when man’s temper is most fiery and the suicidal ten- dency is apt to be exaggerated by the heat. Is this imagined connection the result of the bedily exhaustion and the mental irritation resulting from the oppressive we: ther? Or is it merely an unexplainable ccincidence that has no more reason than lies in the workings of the law of chance? Psychologists may some day reach a satis- factory theory to account for these out- bursts of crime and violence, and until they do no cure can, of course, be prescribed based on the climatic theory. It is interest- ing in this connection to know that the records show that there have been no less than ten murders committed in and around Washington since April 23, less than four months, and the people of this community and of that part of Maryland lying im- mediately east and north of this city may with profit search diligently for the cause of these crimes and for the means of their prevention. But it is clear that, except pos- sibly in the very recent cases cited, no part of the responsibility for these murders can be saddled upon the weather. akon It may ocevr to Major McKinley’s friends that Mr. Hanna, while according the major his full share of credit as advance agent of prosperity seems disposed to occupy the center of the stage himself while the per- formance is going on. —— rom Unless Secretary Morton 1s fortunaie, some of the people who make a specialty of treasuring up warm weather statistics will have him down on the record as re- sponsible for the “crime of '' ——e— Tom Watson claims he did his studying by the light of pine-knots.
