Have Jackson City and its accessory filth-holes vanished only to lead the way to the disrepute of Cabin John bridge? The former locality had at least the recommendation that it was visit- ed only by those who deliberately sought tts evil chances. But the case is different with Cabin John. There tradition beckons the tourist. Natural beauty lures the city-tired man and women. The opportunity to rest and obtain refreshment after a long, de lightful car ride tempts thousands who seek no other form of pleasure. To pormit such a place to fail into the mire of de- shery is to deprive the people of Wash- 4 their guests of a natural outlet spring and summer wand>rings. For the decent people will avold the place as plague-stricken ff it secures the foul ing over it. It behooves delay with the Maryland state authorities, just as they co-operated with the governor of Virginia in the case of Jackson City, and seek by a mutual campaign to enforce the laws and to check the vils abuses now ram- pant at this resort. ———_-+2—_—__ A Streng Nomination Necessary. ‘The Woodruff vice presidential boom re- ceived no recognition at the New York re- publican state con on, and If Mr. Wood- ruff is 2 man of wistom he will withdraw rom circulation.

Arthur the republicans did that very thing, and drew a prize. But the point then was to conciliate Mr. Conkling, who was threat- ening to sul, and whose loss to the party would be very great. There is nobody of Mr. Conkling’s force anywhere to be concil- fated now, and so the party has only to con- sider the matter in connection with the gen- eral necessities of the hour, If the play were for New York alone Mr. Woodruff would not be the proper selection, and hence he is far less suitable for the emergency since the play Is for a much greater stretch of territory. ——___ + —___ A Disquieting Report Disproved.

The South and Expansion. The cotton-growing states are very much interested in expanston because of the new markets to be developed tn the far east for their manufactured product. Some of the most eminent of their rep! ives in public Mfe are warm advocates of the retention of the Philippines, many of their leading men of business re declaring for the same policy. A recent expression by Charles Adamson, president of the Southern Hostery Yarn Spinners’ Associa- tion, is attracting attention. Mr. Adamson, who is a North Cerolinian, safdi “In my opinion as long Prosperous condition of the cou * tinues there will be no decline fa pee particularly in hostery yarns. Until the Weave mills cease doing the bustness they now are doing the hosiery men need have bo apprehension about prices. Another fac. tor that is opening 8 to cotton manufac- ture is export trade. With the Philippines and the open door in China our country fs on the eve of expansion fn all lines of trade, and particularly the cotton trade, that will only stop when the cotton trade of the world is in the hands of the Ameri- can manufacturers—the same as the tron trade is. The projection of new milis {1s mostly = the south. Therefore {t behoove: the south to support movements to ox this trade. With the re-election of ‘Ste McKinley the country has a certainty of four more years of prosperity.” This is hajled in certain quarters as fore shadowing success In some of the cotton this fall. Surely, it ts argued, where the soutb’s interests are so as the present affected the south’s votes will be support of those interests. But unfortunately, does not fo'low. The on national issues, has been voting against her interests for a good many years. Her interests were always to be subserved by protection, but she supplied the bulk of the free trade contingent. She put Mr. Cleveland into the White House, nd gave the majority of the votes which sed the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill. Her interests four years ago called for the suc- cess of sound money, but her votes, with the exception of those of the border states, went to Mr. Bryan and free silver. Shall we not have a repetition of this folly this year in the matter of expansion? Mr. Adamson speaks words of wisdom, and he undoubtedly reflects the sentiment ef the business men of the south. But the difficulty Is that the business men of the south appear to exercise next to no influ- ence whatever on the politics of the south. They are not heard at the polls in these great matters affecting the development and prosperity of their section. What pro- ion and sound money have done for the nuth has been done over the south’s bit- ter opposition. The elections are carried by professtonal politicians, who are the masters of the machine, and who see every: thing political as through a “nigge darkly. If the real interests of the south could but find active champions at the polls of the men of property of that section, what is known as the “solid south” would speedily disappear as a political quantity, to the south’s great and lasting advantage. + +e — Oleo Bribery Exposed. Philadelphia has long been a favorite working field of the bogus butter men, for ms which have net until now been itisfactorily explained to the public. For instance, there never any clear illus- tration of why Wilkins and Butler, the Washington agents of the butterine trust, now serving sentences in prison for viola- tion of the law, chose Philadelphia aa the place to strip the revenue stamps from oleo packages preparatory to selling the stuff as butter. Tho North American of Phila- delphia has now stcceeded in throwing a light upon the mystery and the result is a dal which smells to heaven. A recent issue of the North American summarizes the facts of the crusade which it has con- ducted, in words which should be read with deep concern by every national legislator im connection with the present effort to strengthen the federal oleo law: “As agents of the North American, Ed- win Slocum and J. E. Whitley conducted the store at 2855 Kensington avenue for ever two months, and sold thousands of pounds of oleomargarine as pure bulter, in vielation of every provision of the state and national laws ge the sales of the bogus product. for protec- tion and immunity from prosecution by the state officiais at the rate of one cent a pennd on the oleomargurine svld in the vitally cast in thi south, hey bought an & Son, wholesale dealers at 356 orth Front st to whom they were directed to go by Chief Inspector Ambrose Little, personal representative of Dairy and Food Commissioner Levi Wella. The ille- gal business was carricd on with the full sion and connivance of state dairy and food protection from Thomas ee “It was plainly Stipulaied in the agree- ment made by the reporters with Callahan that the one cent a pound hush money was for the purpose of securing protection from the state officials, Chief Inspecior Little personally sanctioned the agreement and terms made by Callahan. “There are nearly 1,000 dealers In Phila- delphia {legally selling oleomargarine, and over 500,000 pounds of the product is sold every month in this city alona If but four-fifths of this amount pays for protec- tion at the market rate of one cent a pound the dealers are paying $4,000 a month, or about $50,000 a year, to secure immunity from prosecution by the state officials. “The sales of oleoomergurine In Pennsyl- vania during the present year will amount to 16,000,000 pounds, estimated upon the internal revenue reports. Consumers ara belng defrauded and robbed In buying the bogus product for pure butter, the illegal salo of the stuff being conducted with the knowledge and connivance of the officials of the dairy and food commission. The conspiracy Which assures protection to the illegal sel! of oleomargarine is taking $4,000,000 a year out of the pockets of the farmers and dairymen of Pennsylvania.” This is, of course, a state matter, involv- ing the reputation of officials who can easily be punished if the crime is proved against them. But what about the broader field of the United States? Is there net the most urgent need of a law which will re- strict the operations of this daring gang of swindlers, who do not hesitate to de. bauch city and state boards of agriculture, and are suspected of aspiring to extend their evil operations to the national legis- lative and admintstrative field? The North Americun has done a great service to the cause of pure food and honest government. ———++2___. Charles Emory Smith.

So that as writer, speaker, diplomat, and executive he has shown qualities which have entitled him to distinction, and by the exercise of which he has achieved distinc- uon. It is superfluous to say that Mr. Smith ts @ staunch republican, and is in thorough sympathy with the administration of which he is so wortky and conspicuous a member, He has health and energy and aggressive- ness, and as his party's candidate for the second highest office under the gavernment he Would make a canyass from which his party would derive very great benefit. ——————+ + = ____ Minister Wo makes some interesting crit- icisms of our customs, but has not gone so far as to Mtimate that for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the American man fs peculian. —__<+--.—______ The quarret among the British gonerals will scarcely b3 as rich in kaleidoscopto manifestations as the Sampson-Schley con- troversy. 2-2 The absence of league base ball leaves a heavy responsibility on the educational in- stitutions fn the District of Columbia. A Strange Malady. A young New Yorker, after an absence of five days from home, has just been restored to his relatives in a most pecuilar state of mind. He was suddenly bereft of all mem- ory of identity, one of the moet perplexing Phases of the disease known as amnesia. While in this state he wandered about New York and Brooklyn seeking @ clue to his name, which had escaped him, and to his home, which he could not locate, All recol- Igctton of the familar sights of the metrop- olis had vanished. Yet he was conscious of @ desire to regain his identity and through his persistent search he was led to police headquarters, where his appearance was found to tally precisely with one of the descriptions of missing persons on file there. He was at once restored to his home, but failed to recognize his mother or sisters and is now in @ sertous condition, which may result in insanity, Diseases of the brain which affect the memory are most baffling to the psycholo- gist and the physician. The memory is held by some students of humanity to con- stitute the Virtual seat of the soul. When it has faded, when the brain no longer re- produces images of former impressions, when previous existence, in short, offers no records, the physical condition of the in- dividual is but little If any removed from the animal state. It is possible, of course, to cure the disease by special treatment. In some cases when the memory has been obliterated the sufferers have been trained anew and have been thus given fresh stock of impressions, which, however, do not in- clude any reflection whatever of the exist- ence previous to the stroke, There is something mystertous and awe- inspiring in these sad experiences. The spectacle of an intelligent young man waen- dering about a great city without the knowledge of self—which is the last trench of the soul's fight In this stage of exist- ence—suggests the slender hold which the mind has upon the past. A chance blow, a slight shock, the effect of a ¢.seasc destroy this connection. Yet :> sellom the thread broken that such cises as th become the marvels of the time and ate recognized as the rarest of opportunities to study the mysteries of the brain. ++ = -_____ Andree’s brother thinks the plucky ex- plorer still lives and that he will be heard from before long.

BR.) News, Garrating may not be an American inst{- tution, but we incline to the beltef that the execntion of the five men at Ponce Saturday was thoroughly deserved by the Viotims of the occasion. The publictty at- tached to it was repulsive, and for this reason, perhaps, it was too closely allied to executions of an earlier century. However, {t was necessary to set an example, in order that similar murders and outrages may not take place in the future Capital punish- ment is unfortunately a necessity in the world. Without it the number of murders would Inorease ten-fold. It is essential that men of violent temper should have a coun- teracting Influence. The remembrance of what has happened to men who have killed {s the preventive check on murder. With- out capital punishment dangerous charac- ters would have little to fear. Therefore We regurd these executions as necessary to the welfare of the public. _— oe Partisanship and the Naval Bill, From the Now Oricans Picayune, ‘There !s some disposition shown to oppose the navy bill on Mines; but it is to be hoped that th this will.not be done, as the sentiment of the country 1s practically unantmous in favor of a stronger navy, For any, years past army and navy-probloéms Fol git Tomar have been debated and anope without regard to party lines, such matters being by general consent eliminated from the fleld of politics.
