Practical Intelligence. Great as was the damage wrought in this city by the hurricane which swept northward Tuesday night, there is ample reason for congratulation in the fact that ovly one human being within the District of Columbia suffered loss of life. This is really most remarkable. Elsewhere, men and women were killed in numbers and not surprisingly, for so powerful a storm Invari- abily claims many victims. Here, though, bas deen extraoriinary tmmunity, for which We are, of course, deeply grateful. There was no reason why we should have been more fortunate than some cf the suburban communities not so far distant. It would have been only a sensible conclusion to imagine that we must fare worse here than would the dwellers in small towns, and beeause the deadly agencies are more com- mon in Washington. Before the hurricane had spent its strength it laid low a great of the telegraph and telephone wires, with an occasional electric-light wire thrown in to make things interesting. Yet enly a horse was electrocuted, and there are no reports of serious injury to anyone from electrical causes. This amazing record is due to things: The care exercised by the electrical corporations and the good sense of the people of Washington; these latter having been so thoroughly instructed as to the dangers of such wires that they let the experts do all the handling. On ordinary occasions one may touch telephone and telegraph wires without being shocked, but when those aparently harmless strings come mto centact wita a heavily-charged e.cet wire then they are as danger- ous as the big copper conductor from which they get the destroying force. For deliver- ance from this variety of peril Washing- tenians may properly thank themselves; their intelligence has, so far, been their salvation. Will not that same intelligence exert itself to bring into lively existence a law which will compel the bunal of every wire? Some wires “are now in conduits because the law says they must be, others will go below In obedience to that same statute, but there will still be above ground @ great many more that ought to be be- neath the street surface. If we are intelli- gent enough to recognize danger why are We not sufficiently intelligent to make organize? and persistent eifort to eliminate that danger entirely? -——— +02 ——__ A Modern Harbor Boat Wanted. Tuesday's storm taught another lesson. The city sadly needs a harbor boat and time and again the fact is given fresh demonstration by the demoralization of the water front that might easily be spared were there in service a modern craft com- bining the facilitfes for use not only as a patrol, but also an fce, wrecking and fire beat. No large city with a water front can afford to neglect this equipment, nor has Washington failed to realize the im- portance and necessity of so guarding the harbor. Congress, however, is difficult of persuasion, and though the effort is made from session to session to secure an ade-. quate appropriation the decrepit “Black- burn” still remains as the sole apology for a river patrol, unable in any emer- gency to perform the duties required of such a boat. An occasion for this sort of service came Tuesday night, when the steamer Leary broke loose from her moor- ing and dia great damage to the boats tied to the wharves merely because there was no craft available for the task of captur- ing the derelict. A harbor boat should be under steam ut all hours and should also be of sufficient power to manage any other vessel frequenting the waters it guards. The “Blackburn” was absurdly incompe- tent on this occasion as on most others, and again the annual contention for a new and modern boat received a powerful im- pulse. +o mseik Building. Bud More udde seik” building methods are being revealed in New York in consequence of lapse of a structure there the other day with fatal results and a series of prosecutions wiil probably follow that may tend for a time to deter dishonesty in such matters. But it is to be feared that these horrors will continue to be experi- enced from_time to time as long as the metropolis retains its present system of putting up buildings under contract In a rush and trusting to luck for their sta- bility. Buddensetk was but a type of hun- reds and perhaps thousands of shoddy builders, whose work may even now be crumbling unnoticed. Perhaps Washing- ton, which has been happily free from these experiences, will further profit by them to mak> still more certain of the future, and the facts brought to light as @ result of the investigation now under way in New York ought to be excellent ma- terial for the commission at present en- gaged in formulating the new building regulations. No crime can be more das- tardly than the deliberate construction of a weak, filmsy building. None threatens so many innocent lives so uselessly. The temptation to do shoddy work Is strong to a dishonest builder, and unfortunately the opportunities are many. An efficient inspection service should prevent or vigor- ous, relentless prosecution punish the work of ail later Buddenseiks. —__+ «+ ____ Senator Butler's optimistic view =f the pro-Bryan effect of the Yale demonstra- tion may yet go so far as to lead him to write a letter of thanks to the college boys. —_—_—_+6o____ ‘The Hope of § The silver coalition In this campaign in- sists that the republicans are not sincere in their talk about an International agree- ment as to free coinage. The sincerity of the republican party In the premises is justly to be gauged by the faithfulness with which it has kept its promises to sil- ver in the past. Professing to be the friend of silver. it has written every law from which silver has benefited In the past twenty years. Returning to power in 1889, after a hotly contested campaign, it pro- ceeded as soon as the new Congress met to redeem its promises to silver. The Sher- man act and the Brussels conference were both in accord with what it had engaged to do. The one provided for the whole American cutput of silver, while the other presented the question in its international aspect. Neither accomplished the object for which it was intended. But the revub- lican party !s not properly to be charged with the failure of either. It did not. and could not, guarantee the success of either. If it has been faithful in the past, it is en- titled to credit in the promises it makes now. It does not guarantee free coinage by international agreement, but it pledges itself to help bring such an agreement about. The prospect of success of another at- tempt, should one be made, to secure an in- liver. Hh eee ee a ean ee eee ———————————————eEeEeEeEEEE eee elected he will exert the infinence of his great office in behalf of an international agreement. He pledges this, and there is every reason for accepting his pledge with- out the slightest question. The large and steadily increasing number of McKinley’s supporters who do not believe in the prac- ticability and desirability of bimetallism. ¢ven by international agregment, to whom this pledge is displeasing, will- concede its sincerity and binding force; and so must the bimetallists. Undoubtedly, however, the silver men, by making in this campaign a desperate fight for independent free coin- age at the arbitrary ratio of 16 to 1, and by scofling at the republican suggestion of an international agreement, have decreased the prospects of such agreement, in case they are badly defeated in November. They have repudiated the party which has weak- ened itself to pass legislation for their spe- cial benefit, derided the promise of that party to do as much for them in the future as 1s consistent with the public interest, and formed a coalition to defeat and de- stroy that party. The thorough and gen- eral discussion of the financial question which has resulted from this action of the silverites has unquestionably converted thousands of republicans wio have been perfunctory bimetallists into single stand- ard gold men, and has embittered them against the silver party, whose course they are inclined to denounce as the ciimax of spitetul ingratitude. Knowledge of this fact, and the uneasy consciousness that they will not be in a position to eall with good grace upon McKinley to fulfill his sil- ver pledge, if elected, perhaps account for the disposition of the silverites to question the sincerity of that pledge. Certainly they have left nothing undone in this cam- paign to destroy the middle ground, to nul- lify the obligation of compromise assur- ances, and to make the real fight one to the death between silver and gold, though the nominal issue is merely the sanity of independent and unlimited free coinage of silver at twice its market value. — ++ __ Chairman Jones evidently hopes that by the report that his committee is “broke” he will command the sympathetic co-operation of every American citizen who js or has been in that predicament.

Now is his face with envy fraught. His look grows daily glummer, As he observes the man who bought Next winter’s coal last summer. Wanted More of Them. “Phwat some ov us needs,” remarked Mr. Dolan, “is more campaign buttens.” ‘Oi doan’ see why,” replied Mr. Rafferty. “Bur the sake av economy. Whin a man gits anythin’ an ‘is moind, begorrah, he'll express "is opinion regardless av anythin’ else. An’ if we only had buttons enough to inable a man to do all ‘is talkin’ by a flip av ‘is coat lapel there wouldn’t be near so many av us docked fur lost toime.” A Timely Variation. “I'd like to have one or two of those bis- cuit you had for breakfast,” said the man who tries to be merry now and then. “I'm going fishing.” “I suppose you think it's clever to in- sinuate that you want them for sinkers.” "" he answered, gently. “I don’t want them for sinkers. Those biscuits Were so good that they couldn't fail to tempt any member of the animal kingdom that came anywhere near them. 1 want them for bait.” In the Doubtfal Column, “What are your views on the financial question?” inquired the campaign mission- ary. Wal,” replied Farmer Corntossel, “I dunno’s I'm in a persition ter express any, Jes’ at the present time.” “Why not?" “Wal, ye see, I'm one o’ these here sus- ceptible kind o’ men. I went ter a gold meetin’, an’ I tell ye the way a feller there talked the subjeck at me made me sech @ hot gold man thet 1 was a-skeered ter tech a sliver certiticate, fur fear I'd singe it. Then I went ter hear a silver talker. Ye might not believe it, but I jes’ got so wrop up in his argyments thet I wouldn't a-took a cartload o° gold in trade fur a brass door-knob. Then I went ter hear a prohibitionist an’ I got convinced right there thet the licker question wus the only thing thet amounted ter anything. There's @ singie-tax meetin’ an’ a Seven Day Ad- ventist convention ter come yit, an’ I don’t see no prospect of gettin’ any settled views till after they're over. An’ even if I do git convinced of anythin’, I've got so sus- picious of myself thet I won't hev any faith in my opinion, anyhow.” A Motto.

It was a bitter disappointment to the investors who had put up the money, but look what it has done for you men! “It’s an ill Wind that blows no- body good.” If the scheme to open an ex- clusively 5-dollar men’s shoe store on upper Broadway, New York city, had not have fell through, we could not say $3.48 instead of $5 for these “swell” shoes. We heard of the failure, we knew the parties, and we got the whole stock before it went into the store. Patent leather, enamel calf, box calf (needs no blacking) and tan and wine colors, in the new “college” and “English” shapes —which are pene so much worn. Men who go eating and surveyors will be glad to hear that we have received our line Of novelties—high-cut lace boots in most every style made. It’s just $2 to $3 in your pock- ets, ladies, every time you buy a pair of these shoes which were made up for Hilton, Hughes & Co. and which were finished up with our name on them. Hilton, Hughes & Co. were never known to sell these grades of shoes un- der $5 to $8, while we're offer- ing them for $3 to $5. They consist of shoes for walking, riding, school and college wear, bicycling, golfing and skating, and are really the “swellest” foot- wear which ever came to this city. Where else would you go for “novelty” footwear? We have come to be known as_head- quarters for it. In fact, there is not a shoe store in town which ventures to sell it. Latest ‘conceit’ is a Ladies’ Walking Ox- ford in black calf, black kid and patent leather—Russla and wine calf.
