There is a renewal of the talk that the national campaign is taking the shape of a contest cf the rich against the poor. This time !t comes from New York. The demo- cratic managers are represented as regret- fing the fact, but as being more than will- ing to grapple with the opposition on that line. They accuse the republicans of draw- ing the line, and cite the rally of large Property Interests throvghout the country to the support of the republican ticket as sustaining the charge. The Star has referred to this matter before. It returns to the subject with the same expressions of condemnation for a policy so unwarranted, so dangerous, so thorou; unAmerican. No such line has been drawn In this fight. No such lHne can be drawn. The merest glance at the divi- sions show that. There are wage earners for silver as there sre wage earners against silver. There are business men for silver as there are business men against silver. The personnel of the two national tickets themselves may be cited to silence so stupid & conception of things. The republicans are led by a lawyer and a man of business. The democrats are led by a lawyer and a It so happens, too, that Sewall are men of the rasp and giade. Each is a circles at home.

This ts the people's government, framed to shelter, as it does shelter, all sorte and conditions of men. They may not at all times prosper as they would lke and de- serve to prosper. But in their most unto- ward condition they are better off than they would be under any other form of government, and the man who seeks to change the conditions, by arraying one section against another, or men in one walk of life against men in another, is an enemy of free institutions. —————— A Portuguese Hero. Portugal has planned @ great to-do in honor of the memory of that daring voy- ager and red-handed conqueror Vasco da Gama, who saileé from Lisbon July 8 1497, in search of countries then unknown to Europe and who was one of the most suc- cessful of the fifteenth century explorers. In thore days Portugal wes a power; am- # to become greater and richer than of Its assootates or en2mies. Hence there was no lack of opportunity for cour- @geous and skilful navigators. Equipped from the royal stores, Vasco da Gama sall- ed vaguely down the African coaet and eastward until he discovered India; a find which ranks second only to that made by Christopher Columbus in 1492. A born war- rior and possessed of the cruel qualities which have invarlably been prominent fea- tures in men who have successfully ruled savage peoples, Vasco da Gama established Portuguese government in Indla and fpro- vided the country of his birth with means of subsistence that have slace saved its very life. But for da Gama’s piracy—which has been duplicated in a minor way even in this country—Portugal migat easily have ceased to exist as an indepeadent nation many years ago. It is therefore fitting that Portugal should celebraze an anni- Yersary which means so much to It, and it is not surprising that Vasco da Gama should be lauded by his grateful country- men. be -_w3e ‘The Star has expressed the belief that two features of the platform adopted at Chicago—tfree silver and anti-ctvil service— . Would, if transmuted into law, do great injury to the material interests of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The question has natur- lly been much discussed among Washing- tonians; some local anwers to it appear in the news columns of this issue. There 1s, of course, diversity of opinion, but the bulk of belief is decidedly favorable to The Star's non-partisan contention. The matter thus gathered together and published @hould be deeply interesting to every indi- vidual who is concerned as to the welfare of the national capital. — see) The extent to which personal affebility Beems to figure in the campaign may make it necessary to provide, in addition to the usual corps of stenographers and essayists, ® few sturdy and reliable baby-kissers. ——__ +o - It may not be improper to express the friendly hepe that Mr. Bland has a good hired maz. who fe competent to look after the farm. — > e—_—___ Try to Be Cool. Throughout the greater portion of the United States the heat during the pest nine or ten days has been dangerously intense. Hundreds of human beings have succumbed to its deadly power, while thousands of horses have been killed by the unwonted fiercenese of the sun's rays. The number of casualties in the rural districts has been extremely small, but in the towns, and especially in the cities where narrow Streets and high buildings are common, the death rate has been alarming. There is nothing surprising in this, for even in the hottest weather there are considerable Gifferences between the thermometric fig- ures in town and country; those differ- ences, however, will not alone explain the relative mortality; the fact is that a dweller in the country is much more careful of himself on an extremely hot day than is the clty dweller. Up to thie time the resi- dents of Washington have suffered much less from the extreme heat than have the people who live in cities far north of this, but prostrations and sudden deaths testify to an atmospheric state of affairs locally that has gone beyond the merely uncow- fortable stage. All care should be taken to preserve health. Suitable clothing should Se worn, suitable food eaten, alcoholic drinks ought under no circumstances to be imbibed, the hours of labor should, wherever possible, be reduced to the mini- mum, and sound common sense be given a chance to exercise itself. The majority of Washingtonians are probably wearing sea- sonable garb, except as to headgear. The straw hat has its virtues, but unless it happens to have a fresh cabbage leaf fastened inside it does not afford the head such protection as the average head needs at a time like this. Reasonable precautions instantly taken may enable Washing- tonians whose lives are now unnecessarily imperiled to enjoy the delightful tempera- tures that are coming and that will soon be here. To be really cool may not be possi- ble, but that ts a good reason why we should do our best to be cool. ———++2—____ Whether the temperature be high or low, man can, if he will, take care of himself, but the brutes which man has brought {to subjection to himeelf are mainly de- pendent upon their proprietors for even a reasonable degree of comfort. Every person owning a horse should see to it that whatever may be necessary to protect “man’s best friend” from the flerce heat of the torrid wave be done at once. There should be no approach to fast driving un- less some great emergency has to be met, and there ought to be frequent applica- tions of cold water to horses’ heads and mouths and nostrils. Dogs and cats, too, shculd not be neglected; an ample supply of drinking water should be conventently located. —~++-+____ Mr. Bryan seems entirely equal to the task of centering attention upon himself. Whether Sewall or Watson be recognized as the vice presidential nominee, it may be regarded as pretty sure that the tall of the ticket will not wag the dog. ——_ ee There !s not a great deal in a name, yet it fe not unfair to assume that Secretary Smith would have found it less easy to impress the public with his personality if he had been christened “John” instead of “Hoke.” ——__+ ++ ____ The campaign enthusiasm now mani- fested is calculated to Invite a train of reminiscerce in the President’s mind. It 1s not many years age when he was the popu- lar target for bouquets. —_—_ + «+ ___ Mr. Watson would be pleased if Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall cculd make some ar- rangement to let the democratic perform- ance have three rings instead of only two. —— The Czar ts faithful to the traditions of his family, and spends a large share of his time in wondering what the nihilists are going to do about it. ——_ +++ — Public demonstrations are often mislead- ing. A man who is thinking hard on any subject does not yell at the top of his voice. ——__ +02 —____ Party leaders on both sides seem dis- posed to support the candidate, with men- tal reservations. + «-______ Only two hundred and thirty-one men toiled today on the new city post-ofiice building. SHOOTING STARS. Diverting His Energies. “Josiar,” said Mrs. Corntossel, “I re'ly disitke ter interrupt yer train o’ thorts.” “What's the matter now?” inquired Farmer Corntussel, who had been holding forth on patriotic themes. “I was jes’ wonderin’ ef ye couldn't give the eagle-bird a rest, an’ put in a few min- utes chasin’ a spring chicken fer the sum- mer-boarders’ dinner.” His Theory Confirmed. “Business is in pretty poor shape,” re- marked the energetic man. “Yaws,” replied Cholly Dawdle. Ways heard it was bad form.” “I've al- Hope. There never was a night so dark But it was bound to yield to day. And hot as it may be, there is A cold wave somewhere on the way. A Collaborator. He had his handkerchief around his neck and talked of nothing but the weather. All the people in the car shuddered as they heard him describe his sufferings. He lec- tured at the top of his voice, and people be- gan to fan and perspire out of mere sym- pathy. Presently a baby began to cry. Its father did his best to calm it, but its wail arosc higher and higher. The promulgator of misery turned around and glared at the infant. Finding his hypnotic efforts of no avail, he said: “It's a shame that a child should be per- mitted to disturb a whole car full of peo- ple.” Mister,” said the father, “you orten to blame the kid. You orter sympathize with ‘Im. He’s simply followin’ in your foot- steps. Of course, he ain’t got your vocab- bylary, but in his own weak way he’s sim- ply doin’ what he kin ter express his opin- icn of this here weather.” The Point of View. “I understand Bryan's give up the fight,” remarked the pugilist. “I hadn't heard anything to that effect.” “Well, "twasn't so stated direct. But hav- in’ lost ‘is voice, what else kin the man dor’ A Kind Word for Nero. “There seems to be a very general preju- dice against Nero,” said the man who had @ great tendency to yawn. “It's kind of dying out,” was the reply. “He's a good deal of a back number, you know. “I suppose so. I hadn't paid much atten- tion to him until lately. There’s a young man who Hves next to me who plays the fiddle. He practices till 11 at night and starts in at 6 o'clock in the morning. I've been trying to get sleepy by reading, and I happened to pick up a book about Nero. It's my opinion that perhaps he wasn't as bad as he’s been represented.” “But think of his fiddling while Rome exactly what I had in mind.

Rather peculiarly, though, it has caused ours to CONTRACT. One might aptly say that it has sweated off all profit and left only the bare Skeleton “COsT.” TWENTY-NINE CENTS Is very little to pay for an article of wearing apparel. Any Laundered Shirt Waist is a literal pick up at that price. But the Waist which we've been Offering at that price is a representative example of what bar- gains are really gotten here. It is made of the finest percale—one might call it laundry proof, so well does it stand the wear and tear of washing. The sleeves are extra large ones. There’s a yoke back, | link cuffs, stud front. Each one has this year’s new “double decker” col- lar. Some are detachable, or, if you prefer, we can give you Waists with fixed collars.
