John Sharp Williams and Democracy John Sharp Williams Is in either a merry or a censorious mood toward cer tain of his democratic brethren. 1 n ;<hle to accept Tammany Hall's invita tion to deliver one of the "short talks on tho tth. he expressed his regret by saying that he should have liked to dis cuss "When a Democrat Is Not a Demo crat." What a theme either for humor ?<r censure at this time! I Mr. Williams has escaped the tariff ordeal. His tTm in the Senate will not hegin until March. 1*11. At present he ic hut an observer of how other men play their parts. In his library in the Yazoo imintn-. when-, it is believed, be i refreshing himself with the writings of the fathers, he ran turn for a change m the Congressional Record and note what the sons in Congress are doing What would Mr. Williams have done 1 ad lie been on deckV He has time and again subscribed to the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. But so had many of the men who fell from grace this time He lias often described pro t.M-tion as the sum of all our economic wors and villainies But so had many of the men who this time not only ac cepted but solicited protection for their home industries. Would Mr. V\ illiams haw stood tirm while others were fall ing ha- k? And would sueh an example hax-*- wrought tipon and saved others. But Mr. Williams may yet he tested. His first session in the Senate will be on the ovr of a presidential election, and the tariff may came up then. The hill now taking shape will be the Issue next year between the two parties. Suppose the new law fails. Suppose, as the rosult ?<f the failure, the democrats carry tho n<4t House, and make inroads on the republican majority in the Senate. That will mean the tariff as the issue for 19V2, and that will require a tariff bill by the new House to express the democratic, purpose. What if the republican Senate halts the measure? It will be open to discussion, and Mr. Williams will have liis chance. The Mississippian would appear to have the answer to the New York World s fa mous question. If he knows when a democrat is not a democrat, he must know when he la. And that is the prop osition. What is a democrat? The query was propounded long before the extra session of Congress met. But there are many new points attaching to the sub ject now, and if Mr. Williams can clear up only a portion of the mystery his ab sence from the Tammany meeting is dou bly to be regretted. Another Life Sacrificed. The latest case of "didn't know it wtt loaded" in this vicinity cost the life of a little girl. The children had been shoot ing at a target, and after their exercises 1 hey had carried the rifle back to the house. In some manner a cartridge had been placed in the gun. and It was acci dentally discharged while the victim was passing. She died almost immediately. if children play with firearms they should be carefully coached In the dan gers that are involved. They should be taught primarily the first rule of target practice, which is to leave the gun un loaded save Just before firing. This -hould be d<me by parents and guardians thoroughly that no child will thtnk ?yf violating the rule of safety. It is a deplorable fact that no amount of warning, no number of fatal acci dents of this character will suffice to prevent recurrences. Just a short time ago a hoy was killed by the discharge of a weapon found in a trunk. The recollection of that case, witli its terrible lesson of suggestion, does not appear to have been sufficient to teach the par ticipants in this latest tragedy that loaded lirearms are a menace to life in ' nny circumstance. Parents can control in a very large de-I gice the indulgence of children in the use of deadly weapons. When they al low th* youngsters to possess such weapons they assume a large responsi bility for whatever may occur. This fact needs to be stated in the most emphatic terms whenever a life is sacrificed to carelessness. By arresting a man for selling soda water Sunday, Danville, Ya., makes it harder than ever for the apothecary to know how to handle a thirsty customer. No physician can reasonably be asked to write a prescription for a glass of soda. There might bi lively happenings !n Nebiaska if Mr. Burkett's political laith permitted him to meet the Bryan senatorial agitation by launching a ten tative boom for the democratic presi dential nomination. Early finds himself in a position wheie health is not altogether an asset. Oen. Bingham and the Mayoralty. Theodore Bingham has allowed it to | be known through the medium of an in terview in Nova Scotia that if the peo ple of New York desire him to serve them as mayor he is willing to under take the job. He admits that he was, asked on the eve of his departure from New York to be the anti-Tammany can didate for the mayoralty, but he would not then commit himself. Evidently the voyage to Nova Scotia has clarified his ideas somewhat, for now he says: "If my police administration has met the approval of New York city and the people would like to see that same kind of administration in all of the depart ments carried on from the city hall in th?? person of the mayor. I am willing to undertake It " It is to be noticed that Gen Bingham -tates the case solely on the hypothesis that his administration of the police de partment was a success. He makes no inference in his declaration to any griev ance he may entertain against Mayor McClellan or the Tammany organiza tion or to any political scandal Involved in his removal from office. This is a wise beginning. It pitches his campaign, if his receptive candidacy thus an nounced may be styled a campaign, in a positive key rather than a negative one It lays down th?? assumption that he succeeded as poli<> commissioner, which necessarily raises the issue directly upon which a campaign may be vigor ously fought. As The Star suggesied the other day, there Is plenty of time to consider this Uter from all angles before the dav of nomination arrives. Many things may happen between now and the holding of the conventions to alter the situation, but as the ease stands today there is no man who appeals more strongly to the reform tendency in New York than Gen. Bingham, whatever may be thought as to his qualifications for the particular office of mayor. Reduced to the last analysis, the police issue is the most important one before the people of New York. Other campaigns have been . fought on that issue. Mayor Strong was elected because of the disclosures of the Lexow investigation, which show- j ed %e complete rottenness of the New ' York police administration. Seth I-ow went into office chiefly on the same tide of antl-Tammanv sentiment evoked by ! revelations of police corruption. There is a quality about Theodore Bingham that is likely to prove a strong element in his favor if he should be come a candidate, lie is fearless, hon est and aggressive. He is a capable ad ministrator and if he enters this cam paign as the anti-Tammany candidate he will undoubtedly contribute as his share of the ammunition an immense fund of information relative to the ways in which the police department in New j York is manipulated for the benefit, not i | only of a polkical organization, but of an army of individuals running from the j humblest to the vague realms of "higher: up." The Death Toll. The Chicago Tribune's Independence day casualty statistics, compiled up to midnight on Tuesday, showed a total of fifty-two deaths directly attributable '.<? the celebration of the "Fourth" and lo the careless use of fireworks and other explosives. At the corresponding peri?.I \ last year seventy-two persons had di?"?i as resVilt of the celebration. Thus it is estimated that at least twenty lives ( were saved this ve.ir in consequence of the "safe and sane'" methods of celebra tion and the restrictions thrown around the use of fireworks in some cities. This total is likely to be increased ar. the days pa^s, as it is the universal ex perience that the record of Fourth of July casualties grows for at least two weeks following that occasion. The true comparison should be made about July 2?>. when the tetanus cases have developed and claimed their victims. A table prepared by the Tribune be fore tho close of yesterday showed that at that time thirty-three had died and 1.051 had been injured in consequence of observance of Independence day. Tt is iloteworthy that the three cities which made the most distinctive "safe and sane" efforts at reform arc not in cluded in this table for either deaths or injuries, these being Washington. Cleve land and Toledo. In ordinary circum stances these cities would have con tributed one or two deaths apiece to the mortality roll. An effort to modify the dangers of Independence day was made in Cincinnati and also In Chicago, and these cities were immune from deaths up to the time of the Tribune's tabular compilation yesterday. They were not free from injuries, however, twenty-two being hurt in Cincinnati and twenty-four in Chicago. Even should the total of deaths not be inoreased beyond the fifty-two of the latest report it \Vill be too hfgh a price to have paid for a senseless prac tice. Nothing can stop the movement to safeguard life on the Fourth of July, now that such cities as Washington, Cleveland and Toledo have so effect ually demonstrated the possibility of preventing deaths and disablements. The statistics furnish the soundest ar gument for a continuance of the re form. No cry of "mollycoddle" will deter the progress of this humane work. No pleas for the privilege of the small boy to have his "Fourth of July fun" can avail in the face of the proof that the restrictions actually save lives and property. Charles Dickens. The granting of small civil pensions to four granddaughters of Charles Dickens because of need is announoed. Their grandfather, who has been dead forty years, wielded the most profitable pen of his day. and earned besides large sums by public readings. He left a for tune?was one of the richest authors of that period. One of his sons was a successful lawyer and became a judge, while his namesake was a writer in a small way and lived comfortably. The world will hear with surprise and regret of the straits of these women. The intention of many Greeks to leave this country to assist the young Turks threatens to hand the shoe-polishing in dustry back to the small boy on the street corner. nt - The government provides an abtin dance of upper atmosphere for airship i experiments, but is rather indifferent to I tho important consideration of places to j alight. As now presented, a tax on corpora tion earnings seems as easy to arrange as a downward revision of the tariff appeared when suggested in convention. The minister who is going to act as chief of police of an Iowa town in order to secure experience may have his eye on a position in New York. ? ' ????4????? f Hereafter a safe and sane Fourth of July may be relied on, such as will not necessitate an adjournment of an extra session. It looks as if the Chinese tongs had something vastly more formidable than the third degree to hold over their mem bers. It may now be possible to introduce a safe and sane program for ocean swimmers and boat rockers. Some of the senators elected as demo crats are displaying a considerable share of fusionist talent. Two Southern Senators. Two Southern senators have just been indorsed at home. Mr. Clay of Georgia secures his third term by the unanimous vote of the legislature, and Mr. Daniel of Virginia, having no democratic op ponent, has been made his party's nomi nee for what will be his fifth term. The two states are to be congratulated. Mr. Daniel is sixty-seven and Mr. Clay fifty-six years of age. Both are men of experience and fill Important assignments in the Senate. Mr. Daniel is a member of the committees on appropriations, finance and education and labjr, while Mr. Clay's committees are appropriations coast de fenses and post offices and post roads. Each likewise holds a chairmanship, Mr. Daniel of the committee on public health and national quarantine, and Mr. Clay of the committee on woman suffrage. Places like these seldom fail to new men, but come by service. As a rule, a senator must work his way up, like a clerk In a store, or a reporter for a news paper. Important assignments are for those who have made good In minor ones. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Clay have shown the'r quality, been approved by their party organization in tSenate, and ai> in position to render their party and pen- | pie valuable returns. New men, however ( able, would have been obliged to wait for their opportunities for full usefulness. The south Is making a record of ihi* kind. Ala.tuLOia. in i>i*casa of Mr. Morran I profited greatly by keeping him long in commission. Tennessee was most ably served by Mr. Harris until death took the veteran. Mr. Cockrell and Mr. Vest kept Missouri in the front rank in the Senate for years. The former could only be de feated by a political revolution, and the latter died in harness. Mr. Beck was | Kentucky's" strength in the Senate until his end, and the state lost heavily -when Mr. Carlisle, who had but barely begun his service there, retired to take a place in Mr. Cleveland's second cabinet. The Senate is an important and exacting arena. Temperament and ability are both necessary to success there. There is a Senate temperament as there Is a House temperament. Instances can be quoted where men who had made excellent head way in the House came to a standstill in the Senate. They lacked the Senate tem pa-ament. Their promotion proved un fortunate for their reputations. But Mr. Daniel and Mr. (_iay Uke the Senate and fit the duties of the chamber, and their constituents are to be congratulated on their decision to keep them In office. Venezuela is now engaged in annul ling Castro's decrees with reference to government concessions. It is evident that the new deal leaves the ex-dictator permanently in the discard. ? Mfc ? i By subdividing Breathitt county and allotting portions of ifa to adjacent coun ties Kentucky inay at least succeed in introducing some new geographical names into its feuds. The absence of Mr. Roosevelt from the country does not make much dif ference in the activities of his habitual critics, both friendly and otherwise. SHOOTING STARS. B\ FHILANDKR JOHNSON. Able to Hold His Own. ??you say you enjoy having hook agents come around?" . "Yep," answered Farmer Corntossel. "But you are not fond of reading." ?'No. But I have made soveral book agents pay 10 cents a glass for condensed milk an* I purty near sold one of 'em a hoss." An Unsisterly Avowal. "Women would unquestionably exercise a refining influence on politics," said the suffragette. "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne wearily; "I have no doubt that convention badges would be greatly increased in decorative value and that campaign buttons would b?i vas tly more numerous." After the Glorious Fourth. Our patriotic fires we've raised And summer grows more kind at last. Jt may be hot, but heaven bo praised The danger of explosion's past. A Severe Ordeal. "So you want a position as a ticket salesman during this busy season," said the railway man. "Yes," answered the young man. "What qualifications do you think you possess?" "I'm sure I could be patient, helpful and obliging." "Young man, it's plain you have had no experience with a crowd of impatient ex cursionists. I'd like to give you work, but it would be a shame to spoil a good disposition." Handling an Audience. "What will you do when your con stituents ask you to explain your votes on some of these tariff schedules?" "I'll explain," answered Senator Sor ghum, "with such minute and compre hensive technical detail that they will be glad to have me drop the subject and tell them a few amusing ancedotes." Opportunity. There's a chance fur every feller as the years keep rollin' by; Though we've harnessed up the lightnin' an' the airship sweeps the sky. Though cities rise where once the land was all a wilderness, Tnere is still a call fur fellers who Kin hustle more or less. There are countries undiscovered; there are pathways to be made; There are heathen still in waltin' fur en lightment an' trade. We are doin' things much better, but we're far short of the best. There's a chance fur every feller who is ready fur the test. No More Noisy Fourths. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. From all over the country, save in the few spots where the authorities put a ban on noise, come the same stories of d^ath-dealing explosives on the Fourth. Because of careless handling of firecrackers, toy pistols, fireworks and the like -the hospitals have been filled to overflowing, while tires have been numerous. Insurance companies and business men generally have come to the point of actually dreading the Fourth. There is just one way to put si stop to explosives and that is to slop thorn. There seems to be ample law. The use of explosives comes under j?o lice regulations; that is to say, if the police are given orders to arrest ail persons burning powder on the Fourth they would have the full support of the law in carrying those orders out. It is to be hoped that next Fourth, with the experience of the last few days borne in mind, Philadelphia will Bet an example to the rest of the coun try and absolutely abolish gunpowder as' a method of celebrating. Bingham as a Candidate. From the New York WorM. Many things may happen before the summer holidays reach an end, and so Gen. Bingham's announcement that under certain conditions he will become a candidate for mayor is more interest ing than conclusive. That the circum stances attending his dismissal from the police department were such as to suggest the possibility of his nomination is a fact widely recognized. To ba elected mayor would be a great per sonal triumph for Gen. Bingham. To be named only to meet defeat would be humiliating to him and discouraging to others. There will be plenty of time for those who would overthrow the Tammany regime to consider his avail ability and determine upon the best policy. If it shall appear that some other man possesses elements of strength not to be ignored it is prob able that no one will more cordially acquiesce in his leadership than Gen. Bingham. Tammany at its worst is not to be beaten easily. Patronize the Parks. From the Columbus Journal. Enjoy the- parks. They are all over town. A person In this city need not complain of the lack of trees, grass and birds, for five or ten minutes' walk will place him in the center of some cool and shady park, where he can sit down and dream and breathe the purs air and watch the lovers exchanging smiles. Sometimes these little oases are not given the care that they are entitled to. but at their worst they turn the thoughts skyward and give the heart a rest. Take the children there. That is the place for the soul of a child. It plays with things divine. It catches impressions that float in the memory as softly as bright clouds over blue skies. And this is a great deal. Thinking of the joy of a robin and the ecstacy of a minnow glinting in a pond is of more value to the life of a child than eating raspberry tarts or beating at mumbly-peg. Dangerous "Amusements."
