a settlement as far as this coun try is concerned than ever before The Englishmen long ago determined what was the winning stroke from their point of and all English oarsmen row practically the same stroke a stroke by the way which no American crew has yet succeeded- in demonstrating could be beaten The result of this Uniformity is a distinct advantage to English rowing Boys learn the stroke when they first handle the oars and on reaching col Icge they are already trained in the rudiments of good rowing After leaving college men continue to row the same stroke and thus it is com- paratively easy to form the crews which are numerous in England and make the famous Henley possible A weeks practice just before the regatta and these men are fit to row together and put up the race of their lives In this country on the con trary it would be almost impossible to organize a graduate crew even from one college without being obliged to teach some of the oarsmen an entiraly new stroke For a number of years past Courte nay of Cornell has been regarded as the leading rowing coach in this coun try and his methods have carried the Ithacan oarsmen to victory in many hard contests This year however has seen Courtenay twice defeated en the Hudson at Poughkeepsie the men trained under him personally by the freshmen and varsity crews of Syracuse rowing the professional stroke taught by James A Ten Eyck and on the Thames at Iow London the Harvard crew trained by one of Courtenays pupils Colson of Cor- nell by the representatives of Yale rowing a stroke which probably more nearly approximated the genuine English stroke than anything taught in this country Notwithstanding these two defeats no cue would be so foolish as to claim that either Courtenay or his methods have been overthrown At Pough Jveepsie he was persuaded by x take a chance by rowing the two Foote cousins in both the fouroar and varsity while one 3 of instruction at Harvard is not enough to prove anything about stroke one way or the other It takes time to build up a system of rowing Moreover the short stroke rowed by thf victorious Syracuse boys has nfver yet proved a winning stroke in the long run against a crew exerting its full power in the long swinging fyif favored by the Englishmen Courtenajr himself taught the vhort- tiappy stroke till he went to Henley and learned better The season ends with Syracuse cupstionably supreme at Poughkeep se and Yale infinitely superior to harvard at New London What v aid happen if Yale should meet Syracuse is of course purely specula- tive but judging by past experiences with the two strokes it is at least tcn betting that Yale would pull out the victory The National Finances Secretary Shaws further elucid tion of the national finances for the past year consisting of a comparison between the estimates which he gave Congress stad the actual disburse Kints makes a very showing a showing on which the Re- publican party can well afford to stand pat notwithstanding the ac- tual deficit for the year of 43090000 Eliminating the two extraordinary expenditures unforeseen by the Sec- retary of the Treasury at the time his estimates were Panama canal purchase and the St Louis returns declare a surplus of 113247674 only thflee quarters of a million dollars less than the estimated surplus of 14000000 which all will agree Is exceedingly close figuring This fine result was secured not withBtanding the reciprocity arrange ruent with Cuba which occurred the estimates had been made and which cut down the revenues between 90000000 and 8000000 Altogether- it would appear that Democratic at tacks to be effective must be along some other line than a Treasury deficit as the result of a Re- publican Administration Indeed the assault on the bank

for articles of home consump- tion still remains to be accounted for Somehow or other Secretary Shaws declaration that we ought to be thankful for high prices does not seem to have aroused that sympathetic a national campaign That Bell of Colorado General Sherman Bell has that the last deportation of union miners has been made from Victor Col In all 1S1 men have been thus illegally banished from their homes Inasmuch as peace and are now said to prevail the natural conclusion is that the unfor lunate 181 were entirely responsible for the insurrection that has had the Cripple Creek district by the oars for the last ten months The conclusion is manifestly absurd After tha dynamite outrage the country cried aloud that the miners could never regain the public sympa- thy which that dastardly deed so justly alienated But the country had not reckoned on the possibilities for mismanagement of a delicate embodied in Sherman Bell So thoroughly did he prove how effec- tually his method of meeting wrong with wrong could misapply the of the State that public sym pathy was again shifted to the miners side of the controversy- If peace and harmony do prevail in Colorado it is because sanity is at last so intrenched that not even the extraordinary incompetency of Bell can dislodge it The Col- orado public believes that it knows who committed that dynamite out- rage and so keen is the demand lot lawful punishment of these men that the danger now lies not in the guilty escaping but In some innocent per- son being convicted with the guilty Why Governor Peabody ever made Sherman Bell his still remains a mystery As a Colorado man visiting in Washing- ton remarked Just to see Sherman Bfcll walk along the street is enough- to make a fellow mad which sug- gests that General Bell might perform- a thoroughly patriotic service by vol- untarily joining the 181 union miners of Victor In perpetual exile WilD Steamboat A man who signs himself as a vet- eran marine engineer writes to Baltimore Sun to explain a trick of certain steamboat companies which he thinks Mr Uhler ought to know He says that companies owning sev- eral boats receive notice that one will be inspected on a certain day They remove hose and ether appliances required by law from their other boats and place them on the inspected boat for that day only When the inspector comes around he finds the legal complement of safety appliances on the boat and approves its condition This goes to prove the wisdom of the plan which many persons are now urging that no notice shall be given when a boat Is inspected so that the inspector may see the boat as it actually is not in a condition arranged to suit his eye This is manifestly the fair or sensible plan of inspection Owners who com- ply with the law will not object to lack of notice and thoee who do not will be robbed of unfair advantage To make this change in the system however will require something more than legislation it will require Inspectors determined to be honest and ready to withstand any pressure which may be brought to bear on them The Department of Commerce and Labor will have to choose such men for inspectors and stand by them If they have trouble with the com- panies The New Adulteration They are haying trouble in Phila- delphia with a new adulteration of milk In the old days when tile milkman and the town pump were supposed to be such friends people ran no worse risk than that of having- to drink a great deal of water in or- der to get a small amount of milk But the unscrupulous milkman of today has a cannier way of cheating than that Milk which has gone through a separator at a creamery has been robbed of So per cent of but ter fat It can be mixed with meal and fed to hogs and it is good for them but not all human beings are hogs For the humans the dishonest dealer takes this stuff puts in some drugs to restore the color and give it flavor and sells it Thanks to our milk law we have no need to fear such performances in- j Washington so far as milk is con I cernad The best protection against cheats of this kind lies in intelligent vigilance A good many people are cheated because they try to get things too cheap Pay a fair price for your food and then insist on getting good quality Care of Fireworks There is reason to believe that care taken in issuing permits for this year will make Washing j ton a safer and more comfortable place on the Fourth than it some- times has beon Permits for selling thing are notIssued weeks be the great day as they used to be and that conduces to quiet More- over the authorities are insisting that precautions be taken against en- thusiasm so pleasing at the outset of an- nounced har- mony sit- uation au- thority Sher- man howeVer Companies th Iif pre I I I only I I I I I I I the fire- works I e fore I 1 ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ J possible fire in the small shops and groceries where such stuff is sold The curtailment cf the privilege of selling cannon crackers and other noisy abominations may cause some grumbling for awhile but it will not work a lasting injury even to fireworks business If the manufac- turers of Fourth of July goods find that owing to restrictive laws and growing intelligence among consum- ers they can no longer profitably sell- i contraptions intended for racket and nothing else they will turn their at- tention to things which are less ob- jectionable to the general public There are numerous pretty appro- priate grotesque and amusing toys which might be associated with the Fourth and would be if it had not become so exclusively a noise festi val The sooner it is robbed of its harrowing features and made a day of rejoicing in which the whole peo- ple will be secure in life liberty and the pursuit of happiness the better it will be It is rather curious that the day on which the Declaration of Independ ence was signed should have become the one day in the year when life is more or le endangered by fire and explosions liberty to walk the streets is restricted by hoodlums who pelt people with firecrackers and the pur- suit at happiness for all except the small boy and the confirmed noise lover is quite out of the question Points in Paragraphs If Mr Cleveland sits on the Cleve- land boom there will be little left of it unless he has trained If we only had color photography now perhaps there might be

Mudd oC Maryland The Chinese in New York collected 1ST for the sufferers and heeded it In without a single name tag That shows the unprogresstve nature of the Oriental mind No wonder Lou Payn looked sick when he came out of the Presidents office He had probably been eating a lot of his own opinions about the fool- ishness of disregarding the machine Happy Jack Chesbro the New York pitcher secured his thirteenth victory yesterday by defeating the Washington team This breaks both the thirteen hoodoo and the pitching record and shows what a team can do when it a making a great tight for last place A New York mother pertinently asks what use it is to get excited over the teaching of children the fad system when there is nothing the mothers about it That is one of the dined vantages of tn compulsory education business The Maryland Jim Crow law went into effect yesterday and one negro was put off a train from Philadelphia after crossing the State line because he re- fused to go into the apartment reserved for those of his color One wonder whether he found the gratification of his pride worth the price of the walk A mad crowd chased a frightened Newfoundland dog through the streets last evening until the poor b ast was shot and killed by seven bold policemen The dog did not even otter to bite any- one and was evidently doing his best to get away Incidents like that raise a suspicion as to whether man or beast is the real brute A Washington mast sakl the other day that it was no more likely that Cleveland would be nominated at St Louis than that the Capitol would be truck by lightning and at that moment the Capitol was struck Both the Washington man anti Mr Cleveland may well be thankful that the Capitol a iid not the exPresident figured in the simile or it might have been a case of manslaughter NOISELESS IHDEPEHDENCE DAY The movement for the abolition of the ur fpiuinc Fuurtb of July notes is gaining ground JAuly Paper On a noiseless street stood a cracker

blare While u screechless rocket with noise- less cut a ftreteea path through the sIlent air The blareless band played a soundless tune and the crackerles lad gave a voiceless shout As the rippling folds of the unfurled from the upheld standard flut- tered out Hurrah he cried with a voiceless cry put forth from lips in a speechless way Hurrah for the guns of Lexington and the noiseless Independence Day The clickiess guns of tine village guards with a thudiess sound dropped on the ground The marshal left his nelgliless horse and the o4cetess mob ranged a I around the drum corps joined In tootle screech The lips of the village speaker moved in the toncueless strain of a word- less speech Oh the pulseless thrill of the nolse less guns and the tootless Mae and the headless

of advancing his opinions and airing his views upon his own peeuha doctrines But ha wilt be told frankly and firmly that no theatrical outburst or fantastic appeal on the hoar ot the convention will be permitted He will be reminded that he has been threatening every Democrat who has been fur the Presidential nomination and inti- mating that he twill the ticket If that is his intention the new leaders want to know it at the outset Of course coercion is not expected to have any effect on Bryan and one can readily imagine what his reply will be to the men who htfve followed him in the pest and are now preparing to blaze a- new trail for themselves arid for the party Two to One Against Him The prediction is made that Bryan will be turned down in the national committee by a vote of almost

weeks practice just before theregatta and these men are fit to rowtogether and put up the race of theirlives In this country on the contrary it would be almost impossibleto organize a graduate crew evenfrom one college without beingobliged to teach some of the oarsmenan entiraly new stroke
For a number of years past Courtenay of Cornell has been regarded asthe leading rowing coach in this country and his methods have carried theIthacan oarsmen to victory in manyhard contests This year howeverhas seen Courtenay twice defeateden the Hudson at Poughkeepsie themen trained under him personallyby the freshmen and varsity crews ofSyracuse rowing the professionalstroke taught by James A Ten Eyckand on the Thames at Iow Londonthe Harvard crew trained by one ofCourtenays pupils Colson of Cor-nell by the representatives of Yalerowing a stroke which probably morenearly approximated the genuineEnglish stroke than anything taughtin this country
Notwithstanding these two defeatsno cue would be so foolish as to claimthat either Courtenay or his methodshave been overthrown At PoughJveepsie he was persuaded by
x take a chance by rowingthe two Foote cousins in both thefouroar and varsity while one3 of instruction at Harvard is notenough to prove anything aboutstroke one way or the other It takestime to build up a system of rowingMoreover the short stroke rowed bythf victorious Syracuse boys hasnfver yet proved a winning stroke inthe long run against a crew exertingits full power in the long swingingfyif favored by the EnglishmenCourtenajr himself taught the vhort-tiappy stroke till he went to Henleyand learned better
The season ends with Syracusecupstionably supreme at Poughkeepse and Yale infinitely superior toharvard at New London Whatv aid happen if Yale should meetSyracuse is of course purely specula-tive but judging by past experienceswith the two strokes it is at leasttcn betting that Yale would pull outthe victory
The National FinancesSecretary Shaws further elucid
tion of the national finances for thepast year consisting of a comparisonbetween the estimates which he gaveCongress stad the actual disburseKints makes a very showing
a showing on which the Re-
publican party can well afford tostand pat notwithstanding the ac-
tual deficit for the year of 43090000Eliminating the two extraordinary
expenditures unforeseen by the Sec-
retary of the Treasury at the time hisestimates were Panamacanal purchase and the St Louis
returns declare asurplus of 113247674 only thfleequarters of a million dollars less thanthe estimated surplus of 14000000which all will agree Is exceedinglyclose figuring
This fine result was secured notwithBtanding the reciprocity arrangeruent with Cuba which occurredthe estimates had been made andwhich cut down the revenues between90000000 and 8000000 Altogether-it would appear that Democratic attacks to be effective must bealong some other line than aTreasury deficit as the result of a Re-publican Administration

That Bell of ColoradoGeneral Sherman Bell has
that the last deportation ofunion miners has been made fromVictor Col In all 1S1 men have beenthus illegally banished from theirhomes Inasmuch as peace and
are now said to prevail thenatural conclusion is that the unforlunate 181 were entirely responsiblefor the insurrection that has had theCripple Creek district by the oars forthe last ten months The conclusionis manifestly absurd
After tha dynamite outrage thecountry cried aloud that the minerscould never regain the public sympa-thy which that dastardly deed sojustly alienated But the countryhad not reckoned on the possibilitiesfor mismanagement of a delicate
embodied in Sherman Bell Sothoroughly did he prove how effec-tually his method of meeting wrongwith wrong could misapply the
of the State that public sympathy was again shifted to theminers side of the controversy-
If peace and harmony do prevail inColorado it is because sanity is atlast so intrenched that not even theextraordinary incompetency of
Bell can dislodge it The Col-
orado public believes that it knowswho committed that dynamite out-rage and so keen is the demand lotlawful punishment of these men thatthe danger now lies not in the guiltyescaping but In some innocent per-son being convicted with the guilty
Why Governor Peabody ever madeSherman Bell hisstill remains a mystery Asa Colorado man visiting in Washing-ton remarked Just to see ShermanBfcll walk along the street is enough-to make a fellow mad which sug-gests that General Bell might perform-a thoroughly patriotic service by vol-untarily joining the 181 union minersof Victor In perpetual exile
WilD SteamboatA man who signs himself as a vet-
eran marine engineer writes toBaltimore Sun to explain a trick of
certain steamboat companies whichhe thinks Mr Uhler ought to knowHe says that companies owning sev-eral boats receive notice that one willbe inspected on a certain day Theyremove hose andether appliances required by lawfrom their other boats and place themon the inspected boat for that dayonly When the inspector comesaround he finds the legal complementof safety appliances on the boat andapproves its condition
This goes to prove the wisdom ofthe plan which many persons arenow urging that no notice shall begiven when a boat Is inspected sothat the inspector may see the boatas it actually is not in a conditionarranged to suit his eye This ismanifestly the fair or sensibleplan of inspection Owners who com-ply with the law will not object tolack of notice and thoee who do notwill be robbed of unfair advantage
To make this change in the systemhowever will require somethingmore than legislation it will requireInspectors determined to be honestand ready to withstand any pressurewhich may be brought to bear onthem The Department of Commerceand Labor will have to choose suchmen for inspectors and stand by themIf they have trouble with the com-panies
The New AdulterationThey are haying trouble in Phila-
delphia with a new adulteration ofmilk In the old days when tilemilkman and the town pump weresupposed to be such friends peopleran no worse risk than that of having-to drink a great deal of water in or-der to get a small amount of milk
But the unscrupulous milkman oftoday has a cannier way of cheatingthan that Milk which has gonethrough a separator at a creameryhas been robbed of So per cent of butter fat It can be mixed with mealand fed to hogs and it is good forthem but not all human beings arehogs For the humans the dishonestdealer takes this stuff puts in somedrugs to restore the color and give itflavor and sells it
Thanks to our milk law we haveno need to fear such performances in-
j Washington so far as milk is conI cernad The best protection againstcheats of this kind lies in intelligentvigilance A good many people arecheated because they try to get thingstoo cheap Pay a fair price for yourfood and then insist on getting goodquality

On a noiseless street stood a crackerless lad with a screechtaM fife anda headless drum
Venting his glee in voiceless stoutas a blareless band all still anddumb
Came down the length of Ute avenueand a bugle corps blew a notelessblare
While u screechless rocket with noise-less cut a ftreteea path throughthe sIlent air
The blareless band played a soundlesstune and the crackerles lad gave avoiceless shout
As the rippling folds of the unfurledfrom the upheld standard flut-
tered outHurrah he cried with a voiceless
cry put forth from lips in aspeechless way
Hurrah for the guns of Lexington andthe noiseless Independence Day
The clickiess guns of tine village guardswith a thudiess sound dropped on theground
The marshal left his nelgliless horseand the o4cetess mob ranged a Iaround

The lips of the village speaker movedin the toncueless strain of a word-less speech
Oh the pulseless thrill of the nolseless guns and the tootless Mae andthe headless drums
The heaVtless joy of the crackerless ladas the soundless pageant nolg l 0scomes
Down the village street and the sight-less low when the hHwless rocketsJlrelee glare
With silent swjsh from tins quiet earththrough the measureless breadth ofthe lightless air
But a fingerless youth of the olden timewisest crackers popped and cannonsroared
Looked on the scene with mien glaceand the look of a lad who greatlybored

PARKER MEN REALIZETHEY MUST HUSTLE
Cleveland Sentiment Stirs Them United onBryans Elimination Alt in the Dark as to Gorman
I
UpPartyj
Cheering for one or anotker of thecandidates with enthusiast in theirhearts and buoyed up by the expectancyof a great struggle at St Louis butwith the elimination of Bryaiiemaa the
thought In their heads delegatesall over the country beginning
their journey to the city todayThe
wave of enthusiasm for Clevelandlias aroused friends and opponents alikeand has the most poteit factor inrousing lip the Parker leads to a funappreciation of the fact their suc-cess or failure depends upoi their earlyefforts when the hosts asserible Parker
be the early bird or he will be aone
Zealous supporters of tins New Yprkjurist have not been dismaysd by the ex-tent of the enthusiasm fir Clevelandbut they discount it in waysTheir most noteworthy clam is that theEastern leaders admit breaking upof the favorite son streisth will re-dound to Parkers Immediate advantageand that it will mark thef beginning ofthe end of the uce 8 light lot
4Doubt About Gorman
This is where the elation conflict andwhere everyone finds himtclf groping inthe dark The uncertainty of GormunJsmovements at the last mlmte has addedto the mystery No on can say ab
whether it meant an expecta-tion of his own candiicy after atiopedfor deadlock or t e acceptance
of a tm the Parlor bandwagonfor his keeiinj hands oft
Pending the arrival oj the Easternleaders at St Louis the disposition ofthe favorite son vote i the principalsubject of speculation
These are US voFes of sort In theconvention and they a re-spectively to Obey of MassachusettsWall of Wisconsin Grai of DelawareCockrell of Missouri am other favor-ite sons not of Thorn has theslightest chance of beingmominated
Parkers friends claim all these willgo eventually to their candidate withas little delay as may be regardednecessary under the circumstancesA Theatrical Exit
is a general aitteipation thatn is preparing for a sensational
ftxit from the leadership of the Democritic party He is still actual leaderbecause he has not bees formally de-posed ExSenator Jones isstill chairman of andCharles A Walsh of Iwa one of hisfollowers is the sscreary But littledoubt is felt that the control oj the com-mittee has actually permanentlypassed from Bryans hahds
The first show of stcngth is expect-ed to come with a crtsh on Mondaywhen the national comnittee meets TheBryan radicals and the Parker conserva-tives will then come ogether for thefirst time and the flghtwill be on
UnDEHSAuREED ON
Intend to Lay Down law to NebraskanBefore Conventioi Opens and
Make Him Ee Good
ST LOUIS July 2 course ofWilliam J Bryan in tie convention nextweek is expected to bear out the predic-tion that ne is seeking political martyr-dom and a chance for a dramatic andtheatrical display of Hs peculiar talentsand obsolete views
There is a great llkelhood that he willget both to the fullest extent he desIre
In the meeting of he national c mmittee Bryan is to be informed that hemust be calm dignirtel and reasonableIt is to be demonstrattd that he Is pow-
erless to resist the Wll of the censervatives and therefore if he wants totake a respectable pert In the conven-tion proceedings he nust conduct him-self according to the ideas of proprietyheld by his political misters
Hints as to BoltingIf Bryan wants to as has been
suggested by some rf his friends liewill be told that the time for such aproceeding is before i e convention as-
sembles and not it has concludedits work
If he is willing to tccept such termsas the conservatives are prepared tooffer him he will be of fair andrespectful treatment and considerationHe will obtain as many hearings as hewants but he must talk long andnust not talk too Ion
It would seem tmujthe task the con-
servatives have them is a com-
paratively easy one considering theyare to have a majority in the eommittee and in the contention But they i
do not so regard it j
WeakKneec LeadersSeveral of the met upon whom the
conservative leaders are forced to depcnd for the successfcil carrying out oftheir program are weakkneed andlacking in courage There is Blackmm of Kentucky and Stone andCockrell of Missouri Campau of Mlchlgnu and n number of others who
to be afraid of ryan They wentto the convention I 1900 to tight himweakened when he tossed his shaggyhair In the air a threatened themwith heavy oratorldl cannonading
Now they are reily to demand hispolitical death but lucy are timid aboutlooking him squar y in the eye andtelling of their inteilons Besides theywere all nearly as rild as Bryan
shame and a rrassment over
were all crazy togeher j
Fear the TebraskanThe timidity of tip whole Democratic
organization determination ofBryan is a groat tribute to the forceand character of
Tine figures show that Bryans numeri-cal strength tlij coming conventionwill be Counting all theradical elements here not be aport the great advocate
And yet from th biggest leaders downto tIme smallest of hose who are talkingconservatism everyone is wonderingand takIng what Vyan will
This Is why all mer plan have beensuspended until a satisfactory answerto the conundrum obtained

The Nebraskan first attempt to stirup trouble will be to the Ofcontesting detefeM from a number otimportant IHtaois ta Mich upon the list for this purpose and thehint fe even thrown out that Bryansrecent Cooper Union meeting in New
sen than tocontest the Parker delegations seats
Such a suggestion would be regardedas merest balderdash were it not for the
fiery denunciation of allwho do not subscribe to the KansasCity and Chicago platforms Makingthat Ute only test it is intimated heput forward the preposterous claim
the New York delegates are notDemocratsWith rumors as this in the airit not rprislBir that the leaders
lost all patience with Bryan conservatives haw Aseasaed his probableacts at the cewrenttan until they aretired of him ami all Us works Whenthey meet him fee to face in thenational committee they will toll himo and demand to know what he Isgoing to do about itAdvice Sharp and Direct
Bryan will be given to understand thathis day of dictation has passed He wiibe informed that the leaders agree he isentitled to consideration because of hihaving twine been nominated for thePresidency and that be will be shownevery possible courtesy including theprivilege of advancing his opinions andairing his views upon his own peeuhadoctrines
But ha wilt be told frankly and firmlythat no theatrical outburst or fantasticappeal on the hoar ot the convention willbe permitted He will be reminded thathe has been threatening every Democratwho has been furthe Presidential nomination and inti-mating that he twill the ticket Ifthat is his intention the new leaderswant to know it at the outset
Of course coercion is not expected tohave any effect on Bryan and one canreadily imagine what his reply will be tothe men who htfve followed him in thepest and are now preparing to blaze a-new trail for themselves arid for thepartyTwo to One Against Him
The prediction is made that Bryanwill be turned down in the nationalcommittee by a vote of almost two 10
Four years ago at Kansas Ciyhe carried the national committee byone vote in favor of Governor Thomasof Colorado for temporary chairmanagainst Mayor Rose of Milwaukee Butthe Bryan strength was beaten fourvotes on the Question of holding thnational convention at Chicago when thecommittee held its last meeting inWashington in January Since then
conservatives have been steadily inthe ascendency
