Harmony or Defeat. The republicans of Maryland are in state ation at Ocean City today in circum- Ss of very great responsibility. Fac. tionalism is rampant, and only a wise con- servatism on the part of those in command can prevent disaster to the sound money cause. The friends ef sound money, there- both in Maryland and eisewhere, e a right to expect a settlement of the ulties which shall thoroughly reunite the party for the coming campaign. Can this be accomplished? Only, uf course, by the employment of such means as a wise leadership should always employ, and alw dees employ, in the atiain- ment of difficult ends. Leadership is not the mere marshaling of a majority in con- vention. Controlling the convention is only one act in the drama. The campaign and the ¢lection are always to follow, and he Is the leader truly who exercises his power in the convention so to insure perfect acquiescence in what is there done under his direction. Be the differences never so sharp in the primaries and at the conven- tion, if success is to be achieved at the polls those differences must disuppear when the campaign against the common enemy begins. There is every ercouragement for wise end well-considered action at Occan City teday. Nor is it confined alone to Mary- land. It is very strong in Maryland. The gold democrats, whose co-operation en- abled the republicans to carry the state 2st year, stand ready again to assist a sound money campaign.. They declare as much through their representative news- papers. They only ask that narmony pre- vail in the ranks of their allies. Ard they have a right to ask that—to mand it, even. They know, as everybody else knows, that unless harmony dees prevail, success at the polls is impossible. Outside of Maryland as sharp republican divisions as ever existed anywhere have recently been healed in the interest of party harmony. In Iowa, and particularly in Ohio and Kentucky, the factions have shaken hands, and are now working in an encouraging spirit of union toward success in November, and with good prospects of achieving it. Carrot the republicans cf Maryland, confrontirg no greater difficul- ties, be relied upon to show as much zeal for sound money success as their brethren of other states? Is any leader over there ambiticus to lead the party into the ditch? ——+ +e _____ Hand Work in Street Cleaning. Superintendent McKenzie's estimates for the local street cleaning for next year bear testimony to the supericrity of the hand method now in vogue in part of the city as contrasted with the machine system. The good results of the change from ma- chines to hand work have been apparent since the new contract went into effect, but more especially since the men en- gaged on the work became accustomed to their duties and learned how best to gather the street dirt and refuse together. The only regret is that the hand method cannot be applied to the entire city, in- stead of as now to a special section ani selected streets, and the superintendent's estimates, which appear to be based on the experience already had, are increased to the end that during the next fiscal year pract.cally the entire city may be swept by hand. Now that the work has been placed on this satisfactory basis it re- mains, of course, to keep it there and to permit no falling off in its character. A high standard of cleanliness must be main- tained if the new method is to retain its popularity. This standard can be pre- served with due diligence on the part of the inspectors, and now that the hand work is all done by day and not under cover of the night, as is the case with the machines, inspection should be easier and much more thorough than before. +e —__ A Mystery Quickly Solved. The solution of the Marshall murder mystery is as much a piece of good for- tune as the result of detective skill, yet it operates to show that the recent reorgan- ization of the force has put every man on his mettle and has stimulated every de- partment to use great diligence. Johnson's capture was a chance occurrence, for he was taken up merely as a suspicious char- acter before the search for the man who shot Marshall became general, and he was charged only with carrying concealed weapons. After he had been questioned the suspicion began to develop that he might be the man who was wanted, and then the detectives plied him with ques- tions that gradually wove a net around him and finally caused him to acknowledge the killing. Praise is due to the officers for their skill in following up the slight clue that originally connected Johnson with the crime and in so handling their prisoner as to bring him to a frame of Mind for confession. Thus the present success is due to a combination of good fortune and good work, and for the latter the community will give full credit. — Bishop Santander of Havana has achieved repid and International fame as a clergy- man who refused to go into politics. ————— The Traasvaal remains firm in its refusal to be coerced into joining the British po- litical trust. ++ 2 Professional Bondsmen. The reform about to be inaugurated in the criminal courts ‘of this city in the sup- pression of the professional bondsman is worthy of unstinted praise ard it is sin- ctrely to be hoped that this practice will be wholly eliminated from the local courts. It seems to have grown insidiously and to have attained wholly unsuspected propor- th It is a form of usury that should be prevented In the interests of the prisoners, who are unfortunate enough by reason of treir offenses without being burdened by the extortionate charges of professional bondsmen. But the public interests are n.ore vijally affected and are worthy of first consideratien. The theory of a bat! bond is that some reputable person appears before the court ia his capacity of friend of the prisoner and vouches for the latter's ‘ance at the bar when his case is catied for trial. The court cen not discrim- inate between individuals and to make sure that the factor of confidence in the personal honor of the bondsman is not overstrained it requires him to stand indebted to the community in a certain sum in case the sccused fails to answer for hearing. Thus on the bondsman fs placed the burden of gvarantecing the prisoner's presence, and this burden is made the more secure by involving him in a possible pecuniary loss. This mingling of personal trust and finan- cial obligation usually operates to insure an pearance. When the bondsman be- comes professional, however, the court lcves the influence of the factor of personal interest, the main theory of bailing is elim- inated and the case falls to the level of a mere transaction with a humar presence as the factor of uncertainty between a loss or a gain. The professional bondsman can not of course answer personally for the where- abouts of all his clients. He does not urdertake to do so. He is a gamester, teking his risks on profit and loss. He charges sufficiently for his accommodation te make good many losses, and if the lat- ter become too heavy he has, as a rule, no compunctions against defaulting. The pro- cess of recovering from sureties is suffi- iently intricate to give him a fair chance to escape final payment. The courts, how- ever, care first for the presence of its de- endants and only as a measure of penalty for the money that represents the liabili- ties of the bondsmen. It is highly desirable that the bondsman should be in such rela- tions to the prisoner that he can stand as mutual guardian, serving beth the court and the accused. This is impossible wher the element ef commercial gain is intro- aueed. The professional surety, too, is apt to involve himself in bail bonds that aggre- ‘ate many times his own assets, and thus the security of the court is diminished. Straw bail, as it is called, is one of the greatest enemies to the administration of tice in the criminal courts and conse- avently a serious menace to the peace and gocd order of the community. Judg2 Bradiey has done exceedingly well to inaugurate the raid on the professionals, and his exumple might with even greater profit be followed by the authorities at the police courts, where this sort of bailing is apparently Rost common. ———_+e+____ The President at Buffalo. The President's expression of confidence in the loyalty of the men of the south to the restored Union in his speech at Buffalo was in admirable taste and in good season. It was received, too, the reports say, with every evidence of the liveliest satisfaction by the veterans of the Grand Army. Those present stood upon their chairs and cheered the sentiment to the echo. There has not of course been ay serious doubt on that point these thirty years past. When the representative men of the south laid down their arms they did so in good faith, and nothing has occurred since to show any desire on their part either to re- new the struggle or to block the progress of the reunited country. They have time and again pledged the stars and stripes their heartiest support. Their greatest sol- dier, General Lee, was a model citizen to the end of his life. From the day at Ap- pomattox to the day he died his influence was wholly for peace, for a thorough and conscientious acceptance of the decision that had been reached in the field of war. And, moreover, any number of prominent southern! men who engaged in the civil war against the Union have since the war closei held office under the national government and served it well. One of them in par- ticular, it may be mentioned, is now in Cuba representing the United States in a way that commands the Sheartiest approval of the whole country without regard to sec- tion or party. Now and then, it is true, in heated po- litical controversies, sectional feeling has been appealed to and aroused on both sides. The terms “Yankees” and “Johnny Rebs” have been hurled back and forth by flam- boyant orators, and the war fought over in all the fury of reckless stump speaking. And quite recently a proposition to invite the Grand Army to hold a national encamp- ment at Richmond occasioned some expres- sicns of dissent rather more pronounced than the matter seemed to warrant. The President's words, therefore, though probably without intended reference to this, come opportunely to clear the air again and to make for a renewal of all good feeling. Of their absolute sincerity there can be no question. The President’s char- acter is guaranty of that. Of their repre- sentative value there can be no question. His old comrades, to whom they were ad- dressed, applauded them vigorously. The sentiment was thoroughly deserved by the men of the south, and, coming from one who spoke as citizen, as ex-Union soldier, and as President of the United States, and who is respected in every relation of life, it will be profoundly appreciated by them. It was at once a vote of confidence and a warm brotherly grecti: ———_~++e_ A Novelty in Base Ball. The Washington Base Ball Club may not lead the league; it may not possess the best pitchers and catchers and batters; it may not have a chance at the pennant or even the Temple cup. But it has the unique dis- tinction of including in its ranks a player who has the nerve to tell the truth to his own detriment in the face of two thousand people. The episode on the home grounds yesterday when DeMontreville, the Wash- ington lad who has achieved such distinc- tion for his clever playing, gave the um- pire the exact fact as toa play in which he participated, notwithstanding it operated to the disadvantage of his record and the possible chances of his own side, should be noted far and wide. It represents a new idea in base ball. It is a refreshing novelty, especially this season, which has heen marked by a series of disgraceful scenes cn the ball field, on the part of spectators, players and umpires alike. The umpire in this case had the good judgment to appeal the matter directly to the player, who was thus faced with the alternative of lying and winning a point in the game or speak- ing truthfully and earning the applause of the lovers of fair play. His choice has done the national game a deal of good. It has set a new standard for players and umpires and spectators. It will go far toward re- moving from the sport the stigma that has recently attached to it, imguting to it un- qualified rowdyism and trickery. oe The fact that there is unéoubtedly gold in Alaska for those who are lucky enough to get it {s prompting people to rush to that country with the same fond confidence which causes office-seekers to come to Washington because the treasury is full of silver dolla-s. ——_+ eo —___ Some of those who protest against “gov- ernment by injunction” are handicapped by the suspicion that they would not object to abolishing all other kinds of government aleng with it. ——___ ++ + ____ Mr. Coxey is losing a golden opportunity.

Since wheat and silver parted company— the one traveling upward and the other downward in price—Mr. Bryan has ob- served a most suggestive silence. He has been within easy reach of the interviewer and the telegraph wire. He emerged from the recesses of Yellowstone Park some weeks ago. But beyond a phrase or two, spoken on the wing in Montana, he has forborne to take up the subject. The theme seemed to call for columns from him. But this silence does not argue that Mr. Bryan has nothing now to say. He can turn a corner as quickly as the next man. ‘The probable explanation is that he sees the necessity of very carefully revising the arguments of last year—some of which he advanced in great haste and heat—so as while shifting his ground to appear not to be doing so. Silence for very long is out of the question. He is going into several state campaigns thif year, and naturaily the people will expect to hear from him on this above all other subjects, He has a food deal of campaign history to review. | 34e worked his wheat illustration full time all last fall, and the people in all the agri- cultural states, and particularly in Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska, where he is expected to speak this fall, have vivid recollections of what he then said. The ro- publican Jeagers are prepared with all this, 4 and of course, through the newspapers and" otherwise, will, with due partisan consider- ation, call Mr, Bryan’s attention to it in a way to tax his powers as a fencer. So he must be thoroughly prepared, lest at such a time as he knows not, the old argument, rushed forward by the enemy, may take him on the flank and stagger him. Like the good campaigner that he is, Mr. Bryan is saving himself for the battle. He is withholding his fire until, from a good Position on the stump, he can see the whites of the enemy's eyes. This adds to the interest felt as to what he may have in his cartridge-box. His meetings will be all the larger by reason of the necessity forced upon him of having to act on both the aggressive and the defensive. What- ever of last year’s argument remains. can- not now be enforced by last year's pet illustration. Wheat is no longer service- able for Mr. Bryan's purposes. What will his new illustraticn be, and how success- fully wil he Le able to use it in the face | of his undesirable failure with the old one? Mr. Bryan's first speech this fall will Probably command as much attention as any delivered on either side during the campaign, ——++2e-___.

She told me so in each of her last three letters.” The Law of Avernges. Every worker will find That Fate is unkind; That to mournful extremes she still bears him.

It would be absurd to expect Mr. Mal- ster's followers to acquiesce in any judg- ment which threw their primaries out of account. They justly feel that on the face of things they have won. On the other hand, the “organization,” which has suf- fered an extraordinary moral defeat in the contest of yesterday, can hardly be expecied to submit with good grace to a practical defeat so humiliating and fatal ase would be involved in the acceptance by the state convention of the Malster pri- marie: Accordingly, only one course seems open to that body, if it would avert the demoralization of the party. order new primaries, to be held in such a way that all the candidates shall have a fair and equal chance. It must wipe out the ugly history of the past few weeks as completely as is practically possible. This can only be done by making a fresh start, under just conditions. If this should be done, it may turn out that the whole trouble has strengthened, rather than weak- ened the party. For it has shown at least that boss has as yet gained control of the party, and that there is enough vital- ity in its rank and file to make a real con- test possible. With such a contest, honestly decided, the party will be able to appeal with confidence to independent men, what- ever their past party affillations, to sup- port it in the coming momentous struggie against the man who has so long embodied in Maryland the idea of bossism and cor- ruption, ———++e—__ And Dairy Products, Too!
