THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, abettor of resistance to it. Mr. Bryan must choos> ketween them. He cannot keep the company of both, When in New York Mr. Bryan quotes from Mr. Tilden. But who is the living man in that state upon whom he leans for support in this race? Is there any likeness whatever between Mr. Tilden and John C. Sheehan? The one stood for stable and clean government, the other stands ‘for Tammany Hall! Could a more radical dif- ference exist? Mr. Tilden, as the people’s representative, scourged Tammany Hall, and drove it from power for its manifold offenses. In Boston, last night, Mr. Bryan quoted from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Mr. Emer- son was the serenest of modern philoso- phers, who taught courage, honesty, and sincerity in all dealings. Mr: Bryan’s liv- ing champion and associate in Massachu- = setts is George Fred Williams. When Mr. Bryan reaches Maine he will probably quote from Mr. Blaine. Some cf the democratic campaign speakers have been using garbled extracts from Mr. Blaine’s deliverances. But, in all his life, Mr. Blaine never stood for anything for which Mr. Bryan now stands. The vote recently cast for the democratic ticket in Maine was composed of the survivors of the old greenback element, whom Mr. Blaine fought with all his might. The Plaisteds are Mr. Bryan's living allies in Maine. He ts not really on thorough po- litical terms with his own yokemate, Mr. Sewall. If Mr. Bryan will look but briefly into the record which gives the other side of the question at issue he will make this dis- covery: No statesman in’ any age of the world’s history ever advocated a cheapen- ing or debasement of the money of the people who did not fail, or who, temporarily succeeding, did not inflict a terrible injury on his country. There is positively not a single exception to be found. Mr. Bryan himself may take this com- fort: He is a very young man, and if de- feated In November—as for the country’s and his own sake It Is to be hoped that he may be by an overwhelming majority—it will still be time enough for him to pull himself together, and, with his talents and enthusiasm, serve his country in some cause which will completely efface the memory of his part in the present one. —-—_+ ee A Congress of Mothers. Washington is the convention city of the United States. It is so because it ought to be so; because it has within it the neces- sary facilities in addition to an abundance of these things which attract. Reunions ard annual meetings and assemblages of all sorts have held enjoyable sessions at the pational capital, but the probabilities are that one of the most interesting of these gatherings is that which is to come in February next—a national congress of methers. The sons and the daughters have ecme by thousands, while the brothers and ters sojourning here have been as the sands of the seashore, but somehow or other the mothers have never succeeded in getting together to any considerable ex- tent. This lack of maternal organization will only be for a little while; after the February congress settles down to business the mothers will be prepared to co-operate either for their own protection or for any other of the many purposes that will doubtless occur to them. A circwlar which has been issued by the promoters of this altogether commendable plan says that It THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. -September 26, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES....... ..Editor.

As a News and Advertising Medium it hus no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Appropriations and Human Lives. If the appropriations committees of the House and Senate could only have been at Brookland this morning they would, in all probability, have come to the conclusion that the District fire department ought to be ™materially strengthened. Three human lives were sacrificed today because there was no fire-extinguishing apparatus at hand to put out the flames. Had the con- flagration been in ten houses instead of one, or had the number of lives imperiled been thirty instead of three, the results would probably have been just the same. The situation in Brookland is duplicated in other flourishing suburbs, and it is sub- ject for surprise that such casualties as that which took place this morning do not occur more frequently. It would not be reasonable to insist that there shall be a fire-engine company in every suburban subdivision, but no one is likely to assail the idea that there ought to be either a steam or chemical engine and a sufficient crew wherever there are as many houses as are to be found in Brookland and Its j inity. The practical application of this zgestion would call for a decided in- crease in the appropriations for the equip- nent and support of the fire department, but who will say that such an increase could not easily be justified? Those who dwell in the thickly settled suburbs contribute their share of taxes and are, in consequence legally and morally entitled to ali the police and fire department protection—not to mention other valuable privileges—that they have any necessity for. The Star intimated the other day that Chief Parris had always been a little too modest in his estimates; that he had asked for what he thought ae could get rather than for the things he really wanted to have. The Chief's estimates for the next fiscal year are now in the hands of the District. Commissioners. It would be an sy thing to so amend those recommen- tions as to provide for the three or four stburban engines and companies for which the taxpayers and common humanity make reasonable demand. The District Commis- pners will doubtless find it necessary to re and » many of the official esti- mates submitted to them in order that the tetal sum asked for be not great enough to alarm Congress, but it is difficult to see hew they could, having the public safety in mind, do otherwise than insist that Con- gress shall give to the national capital a fire-fighting equipment sufficient to meet the needs of this growing community. es Reconguering the Upper Nile. ‘The combined English and Egyptian | !8 Proposed to have the congress consider troops have captured Dongola and an im- | !!

Nearly all of this indigna- tion and sympathy Is wasted.

Lower pt, as a matter of tion, must possess the upper river from which she draws all of her The Upper Nile in the hands of a race of people is a constant r.erace to the lower region. It is clearly a possibility for unscrupulous engineers of a hestile nation possessing the confidence of the dervishes to so turn the waters of the Wile {mn its narrow and upper regions as to divert it entirely from the great Nile valley. The English in Egypt have constantly had the fear of this before their eyes, and it has been a surprise to those well acquainted with the subject that the Upper Nile expe- dition has been delayed so long. There 1s, of course, the possibility that the Englisa policy considers the capture of this region as only a step in the direction of English Gominstion of continuous possessions in Africa from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope, but without considering | the right or wrong of the English posses- sion of Egypt, that nation, so long as it does exercise rule over the land of the Pharoahs, would be false to its position of trust if it did not as speedily as possible recapture the Dongola and Khartoum dis- triets of the Upper Nile, which rightfully ard naturally belong to Egypt. —__~+ e+ _ A Good Cause Needs Help. One of the most useful institutions this city has ever known is the Central Union Mission. It has done an immeasurable amount of good and is intent upon doing very much more, provided, of course, that the necessary financial support forth- coming. It is the habit of the Mission to be hard up, but that condition—which to most asosciations or individuals would be one of discomfort—seems to be without effect upon the elastic spirits of the extremely practical and ever hopeful Christians who have made the Mission their fleld of work. Just now the board of directors is doing what it can to raise a little more than one thousand dollars, needed to wipe out a deficit in cur- rent receipts and to meet an obl!gation soon to be due. People who are generously in- clined have here and now an attractive op- Fortunity to contribute to a good cause. —_ + ee __.- noble, to the end that the conditions which new prompt crime and make necessary the maintenance of jails, workhouses and re- formatories may be completely and per- manently overthrown. It is a big pro- gram, but the good and thoughtful‘women who are responsible for the proposition have devoted themselves with all earnest- ness to their great task, and will undoubt- edly succeed in accomplishing much good. ———__- 02 Explaining His Vote. There are probably few friends of Mr. Bryan who will not regret the explanation put out by Chairman Faulkner of the vote which Mr. Bryan cast for General Weaver for President in 1892, It represents the intrepid young leader as resorting then to much the same devices which he condemns now in oth According to Mr. Faulkner, whose authority is Mr. Gorman, the deino- crats in certain western states, Neoraska among the number, were instructed to vote for the populist ticket instead of for their own, fn order to make certain of republi- can defeat; and many of them, it 1s as- sumed, followed instructions. But is it safe to account for Mr. Bryan's vote in that way? Would he have voted for any man for President with whose principics he was not in agreement? Mr. Bryan expresses a very high respect for the responsibilities Imposed by suffrage, and for the courage which ralses a man above the domination of partisan politics. He likewise ridicules third tickets put into the field with no hope of success except through dividing what would probably be the support of one of the leading tickets. He claims for himself the right to judge cf both the candidate and the platform, and to reject both in case they do not come up to the requirements of his conscience and convictions. Would such a man assist in the execution cf a partisan maneuver which would require him to register his vote for a candidate and platform obnox- ious to his own ideas? No. Partisan. explanations, however urgent and well intended, should not be permitted to strip a man of the merits claimed for him and by him. If Mr. Bryan is to be accepted at his own appraisement, his vote in 1892, cast for the populist can- late for President, registered the same sympathy with the populist cause which influenced him to consider for a time an invitatlor to stump Virginia in be- half of the populist candidate for gov- ernor of that state, in opposition to Mr. O’Ferrall, the democratic nominee. —___+-+ ____ All that is needed for Hetty Green's son to become an imposing figure in politics its for him to acquire as profocnd a knowledge of political economy as Mrs. Green has of the other kind. waters of the Only forty-five men were at work today on the new city post-office building, but there is promise of an increased force Mr. Bryan and History. Rev.

When In Iinois Mr. Bryan quotes cop- fously from Mr. Lincoln. And yet who is the living man in that state upon whom Mr. Bryan leans? Can there be any pos- sible union between Mr. Lincoln and Gov.

THE WEEK. Political interest continues to he focused on the stumping tour of the democratic Presidential candidate and the excursions to the home of the republican nominee. The sensation of the week was Tammany’s der.and for the withdrawal of John Boyd Thacher, democratic candidate for gov- ernor in New York, who had repudiated the Chicago platform; at a meeting of the state committee Senator Hill persuaded the members to postpone action. Finally, Mr. Thacher concluded to withdraw. The gold standard democrats of New York held a state convention and nominated a state and electcral ticket. Negotiations for fusion between populists and democrats have progressed in various states, but all the obstacles have not yet been removed. Considerable comment was caused by the conduct of a number of Yale College boys; whose yells caused Candidate Bryan to shorten his speech at New Haven, Conn. Hisses and other discourtesy shown Gov. O'Ferrall and Gen. Buckner in a political meeting at Richmond, Va., were also the subject of strong condemnation. The long- continued strike of miners at Leadville culminated in an attack on the Coronado and Emmett mines, and the application of the firebrand; when the firemen were summoned the mob fired on them and five lives were sacrificed; state troops were ordered to the scene, many warrants were issued and martial law virtually was es- tablished, The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fello’ in session at Dallas, Tex., adopted revised rituals for the Rebekah branch cf the order and also for the Patri- archs Militant. The American Bankers’ Association was in session at St. Louls. Wm. P. Niccols, president, and John B. Deblane, cashier of the New Orleans Bank of Commerce, were arrested on the charge of receiving deposits after they knew the bank was insolvent. Foreign. The Czar of Russia and czarina arrived at Leith, Scotland, and were recelved with great pomp; they were landed with the most claborate precautions against possible assassins, and were conveyed to Balmoral, the queen's Scotch home, the railway being guarded the entire distance. The Anglo- Egyptian expedition into the Soudan pushed further south and occupied Dongola, the der- vishes retreating in confusion; the object of the expedition is believed to have been virtually attained. Mr. Gladstone made an address at Liverpool, in which he advised that England withdraw her representative from Constantinople and dismiss the Turk- ish representative at London if the sultan proved unwilling to undertake reform in Turkey's treatment of Armenians; it now appears that ae thousand Armenians were killed at Egin, in the Kharput district. A gale along the British coast caused much Gamage and some loss of life; the English channel service was suspended. Edward J. Ivory of New York, charged with con- spiracy with P. J. Tynan to cause dynamite explosions mm Great Britain, was remanded for a week in London. Prof. Sir George Murray Humphrey of Cambridge (England) University is dead. In the District. F. W. Emrich was attacked by highway- men at the corner of D and 3d streets northwest and was severely wounded by a pistol shot, but his. allants were fright- ened off before they succeeded in robbing him. Another citizen, John W. Keys, was assaulted and robbed while passing through the Capitol grounds. In accordance with a petition by creditors of the Eckington and Belt street railroads, Mr. W.Kesley Schoept has been appointed receiver; a meeting of the minority stockholders of the Belt road was held and the proposition discussed of taking some action to protect the interests of the minority; Mr. Schoepf has also been appointed receiver of the Columbia and Maryland railroad. Again the trial of_the alleged Jackson City gamblers was post- poned, and this time indefinitely. A plan of settlement was agreed upon by the local beer brewers and the representatives of District Assembly 66, Knights of Labor, and the local Federation of Labor. Mr. W. C. Winlock, the assistant in charge of the Smithsonian Institution, died. SHOOTING STARS. A Vindictive Virtuoso. The performer in the brass band had just finished helping a mob of college boys in- terrupt a campaign speaker. As one of the players put his instrument in its case, a beatific smile spread across his counte- nance. “I don’t see what you are grinning about,” remarked the trombone player. “You ought to be ashamed and humiliated, a3 I am, at being compelled to earn money by taking part in such a performance. “Maybe I ought. But I’ve got a natural hatred for any man who talks loud, and I can't help feeling that I've done a little toward getting even with the people who interrupted our last concert.” Differences. “They say that human nature is always the same,” said the middle-aged lady. “But I don’t think so.” “What's the reason?” asked her niece. “Twenty years ago girls read magazines and did needlework.
