Harmons's Prospects Brighter. The decision reached at the republican state convention in Maryland yesterday is most gratifying in sound money circles because it both recognizes the necessity of harmeny and provides sufficient means, if wisely used, to obtain it. But the dan- ger point has not been passed. The re- ponsibility for producing harmony has simply been transferred from one faction to the other. Had Mr. Wellington and his friends controlled yesterday's convention the responsibility would have been upon them. It would have been their duty so to cenduct the business as to insure the full party support afterward. It is now the duty of the other side so to conduct the new primaries and the new convention ordered as to insure the cordial co-opera- tion during the campaign of those who were defeated yesterday. If that is not done, yesterday's victory will have been achieved in v: No one man or set of men triumphed at Ocean City. Sound money and anti-Gor- iiumphed. It was an awakening of the majority of those assembled to the necessity of averting a very great danger that threatened the sound money and anti-Gorman cause. It was a wise paus- ing on the very brink of a precipice. The party will now try to find a new way round. It ought not to be difficult. The discovery of the danger in the old path ought to cause a sharp and successful lookout for danger in the new. And prob- ably it will. The seiection of Baltimore as the place for holding the new convention was also a fortunate stroke. That city is the key to the whole situation. The warmest of the factional contentions are there, and upon the way in which they are handled everything depends. If they are satisfac- torily settled a winning campaign for sound money seems to be d. If they re intensified in any way—either by an intolerant course of the faction in the ascendant, or by a sulking course on the part of the faction defeated—the city will likely be lost in November, and with it the state. Yesterday's winning will prove of the greatest value if accepted and used as a winning for the cause instead of for a faction. The premise, happily, seems to be for safe and conservative and unifying results. ——____+ e+ —___ The Case of Evangelina Cisneros. While there have been perhaps misunder- standings of fact, exaggerations of state- ment and some resulting hysteria con- nected with the cutburst of sympathy for the unfortunate Evangelina Cisneros, the an girl now confined in prison in Ha- on @. charge of conspiracy, the mists that originally surrounded the case are clearing away sufficiently to show that there is good reason for the movement new on foot io persuade the Queen of Spain to pardon the young woman. The most favorable aspect of the situation, from the Spanish point of view, justifies the outery for the extension of conside: tion to the unhappy girl. It is perfectly apparent that the governor of the Isie of Pines, who charges that he was “lured” by the prisoner that he might be as ssinated, himself guilty of a gross offense aimst her, and the suspicion is reason- able that much of the conspiracy story manufactured to conceal his wrong- joing. The early reports of the case stated that Miss Cisneros was being con- fined in a horribly unfit prison, and that she was suffering from the cruel metho< so plainly in vogue in Cuba. A late dis- patch from Consul General Lee indicates that her cunditicn ha: somewhat liorated, but she is still awaiting trial. There is enough evident equity in her ¢: to warrant the presentation to the quee of a powerful plea for pardon, and appar- tly the movement in her behalf has at- ed such proportions and includes such a weight of influence that the petition will be seriously considered. soe No Arrogance, No Sulking. One of the republican candidates fer the Baltimore mayoraity, in a published inter- view, announces the sentiment which in this crisis should dominate all of the.can- didates for that office and every Maryland republican. Mr. Marburg = ‘The prin- cipal concern of every true republican now should be to allay the intense feeling that has arisen between the two factions of the party, and minor differences of opinion should give way to this overwhelming need the moment.” No republican deserves who stabs sound-money prospects in Maryland by substituting for loyal and untiring labors either the arrogant intoler- ance of victorious faction or the treacher- sulking of the disappointed. +o is not warfare.

A special effort has been to induce them to come, and they ave responded in a way to show their ap- eciation of the invitation. New York, Baltimore and Boston have son opened, and the prospect for a largely increased trade by reason of this t alone. large proportion of sales is made as a » by sample in the hands of traveling . or by letter. Elther is an effective ans of doing business, but this year, it was thought a good purpose would _be rved by bringing the wholesale merchant nd the retail merchant, the manufacturer and the jobber, together, and have them discuss the situation with the fullness and freedom of a personal conversation. After a period of such general and protracted dis- tress, in which all interests bad been in- velved and had more or less suffered, such meetings, it was suggested, would aid ma- terially in the complete restoration of con- fie The large operator by coming in personal contact with the small operator nce would be the better prepared to appreciate th latter’s aims and present resources and roundings, and vice versa. The sug- gestion was wisely adopted, with the re- sult as already stated. The markets of all lurger cities have been crowded with visiting buyers from a distance, and sales, im size and etherwise, are the substantial fruits of the project. At the same time the men of business in the east have a better understanding of conditions in the south and west, and the men of the south end west a better understanding of conditions in the east. So united are the real interests of the people cf the United States that they have only to be properly understood to be prop- ly protected. A more frequent exchange of visits between the people of the sections would result in great good to all alike. No one section can suffer without the other sections feeling it also. Putting the mat- ter upon purely a commercial plane, the east cou'd not oppress the’ west without paying a heavy penalty herself, nor could it ever be to the advantage of the west to make war on the east. But American brotherhood is more than commercial brotherhood, thcugh including that, and the pelicy which brings the people of sub- stance together and promotes a good un- derstanding among them makes for the na- tional advancement. —__—~—eo A Commendable Charity. One cf the most sensible social experi- ments tried in New York for a long time was tke opening of the recreation pier on the East River for the benefit of the poor peuple who have no chance to get to water- ing places. This pier proved an instan- taneous suc-ess, and it was not open to the suggestion that it tended to pauperize the people while aiding taem im_ bearing their burden of daily existence. Music by a band gave them a treat that they could seldora enjoy and the fresh waters of :he river and bay leat new life to languishing invalids and little babes. Family parties crowded the picr at night, when the grind- ing work !n the shops and streets was at an end, and it was felt by the projectors cf the plan that the city was doing a vast amount of practical good among the poor at a comparatively small expense. A hitch has now occurred in the enterprise and unless some of the red tape that tangles up the affair is cut through by the appli- cation of a little broad charity and com- mon sense the patrcns of the pier will have their supply of music cut skort. The band has received no pay for the seven weeks that the pier has been opened, the city contrcller holding that some nicety of formal sanctioa by the board of aldermen Was not observed in authorizing the ex- Fenditure, and the musicians, while mainly playing on wind, cannot afford to subsist longer cn that not over nutritious diet. Hence the symphonies have been stilled end the pier has lost half of its charm. Of course the air will he just as fresh and the babies will get as much benefit from the outing as before, but there is that in good music, of any style, that lends n- spiration to the tired heart and gives the toiler ccurage. It will be most unfor- tunate if the complexity of Gotham’s fiscal department should operate to prevent these river-side concerts. While the Commissioners are considering the advisability of amending the bicycle regulations, they might look into the case of the rider who, while technically observ- ing the rule requiring the carrying of bells on wheels, yet practically defies it and seems to try to make of it a laughing stock. He carries his bell in the most unhardy place imaginable, beneath his saddle, where he can only reach and operate it by taking one hand from the steering bar and assumirg an awkward position. This in- volves loss of time and often the risk of a collision. The bell is a real necessity on the wheel in certain emergencies. The ma- chine is a noiseless vehicle, speedy of op- proach, and it is frequently necessary to warn pedestrians and others of its close pregence. Its note should always be a mere ign of proximity and rot an order to another person to clear the road. There are times when the bell is absolutely a menace, when its constant tinkling has a demoralizing effect upon other wheelmen and pedestrians, but these occasions are created by the thoughtlessness of the bell users themselves. If the bell is so useless that it can safely be put in an inconvenient position, the regulation requiring it should be abolished. If the device is of any value whatever, no discrimination should be made between its careful users and those who pretend to be able to cope with all emer- gencies without its aid. Let the bell he lawful onty when it is fastened on the han- dle bas, where it can be manipulated with- nvolving the risk of an upset and a ible accident, and where its sound is iuified by the body and clothing of the not may want outside cf the policies of the republican and democratic parties that is not directly or indirectly held out to him by the populist party. From money with- out measure—every man with his pockets full and running over—to governmental ownership and control of nearly every money-making business, the populists offer unusual inducements to all experimental- ists and revolutionists. The man anxious to upset the existing order of things and enter upon the novei and the untried who rejects the populistic program is, indeed, hard to satisfy. The American party is poaching on the populist preserves, and it will soon discover the fact. Every foot of territory not un- der republican or.democratic fence is now under populistic fence. ——_~+e—_____ General Weyler now has a grudge against the artists of this country. While the pic- tures of the young woman threatened with Geportation vary greatly as to contour and features, they are without exception cal- culated to excite the additional sympathy which arises when a lady in distress has an attractive appearance. ———++e—____ It is announced that Secretary Sherman will speak in Ohio.

Wrenn's defeat of Eaves yesterday at Newport in the final tennis match of the present international series gives reason for general congratulation among the be- Nevers in American superiority on the field of sport. Wrenn now has twice 4 feated a foreigner who sought to carry way championship honors from America having stopped the victorious career in this country of Goodbody, the Irish cham- pion, three years ago. Larned began the work of upholding the American reput tion for skill at tennis by his victory Longwood, near Boston, at the beginning of the series, and he and Wrenn together have fought the visitors valiantiy through- out the season. In doubles, too, the Amer- quets did the better work. One of the most satisfactory features of the series the hearty good feeling that ailed throughout. See There are people who complain that they So to the seashore for relief from the cares of business and fail to find it. And there are politicians with whom the situation is quite the reverse. > e-___ Unfortunately for Mr. Wellington, he was not able to guard the stage entrance at thé Ocean City performance. ——">eo___ Poaching on Populist Preserves. The launching of a new political party in the United States has ceased to be a mat- ter of the liveliest concern. The industry has become too common, and there is ioo little in the way of net result to show for it. Men band together—some of them very excelient_ men—under the spur of this or that measure ef discontent, write a plat- form of principles, perfect an organization, appeal to the country, and that is about the end of it. The country fails to hear, or, hearing, fails to heed, and the new party fades from view. The latest product of this industry makes ts appearance under the name of the American party. Efforts have been made to conjure with that name before, but, strong as the name has always been, no party bearirg it has ever achieved anything. The name is now made to cover a multiplicity of wants and aspirations. Existing policies generally are condemned. New policies of a very wide rarge are pro- posed. So wide is the range, indeed, that the invitation may easily be imagined that if anything has been omitted the peo- ple have only to suggest it and it will be added. While the field is always open, it seems to be thoroughly covered by the republi- cans, the democrats and the populists just now. The republicans are committed to international bimetallism, but sound money in any case, a protective tariff, a progres- sive foreign policy and civil service reform. ‘The democracy—recognizing Mr. Bryan as its leader—advocates free silver at 16 to 1, without regard to the policies of other countries, a revenue tariff, carrying inci- dental protection, a return to the spoils system in the matter of federal patronage, and a@ foreign policy not very clearly out- lired. The populists appear to oceupy all other possible and impossible ground. It is difficult to conceive of anything a man But certain grasping grocers have made the price of wheat an excuse for grabbing some «xtra pennies by an advance on their own account. There is no possible excuse for any pr ent increase In the price of a loaf of bri facts will The price of a barrel of white wheat as yesterday abcut $. Most bakers lower grade, but we take this as a a barrel of flour makes pound-loaves of bread, so ihat the material cost of each loaf is only a trifle over two and a quarter cents. Add fuel, rent and labor, and the cost is swelled to about two and a half cents. The retail price is five cents. In other words, the baker and grocer, with a profit between them of 100 per cent, get us much for merely baking and de- livering bread as it cost to plough the ground, sow the wheat, reap, thresh and winnow it, haul it to a railroad, transport it to a milling city, grind and barrel it, ship it half way across a continent, sell it through a commission merchant and again through a jobbér, and haul It to the baker's as a little consideration of tne show. fi Surely thesshare of the baker and grocer ought to satisfy them! Any attempt on their part to take more, upon pretense that the present advance in wheat lowers their profit, is extortion and should be r With those who are so situated that they can bake their own bread, resistance is easy and simple. soe —__ Logic of Events.
