ABELL COMPACT. the shocking noises of the Fourth it July as at present celebrated. The night before the Fourth many were kept awake by explosions here and there all night long and the same experience was had the night following. It amounts altogether to a great and dangerous nuisance. RUFFIANISM ON STREET CARS.

The unruly and ruffianly conduct too frequently observable among persons using the electric lines when returning at night from suburban resorts calls attention to th.e necessity of more systematic police methods of suppressing such offenders. During the warm nights of summer the electric cars offer to thousands of persons the, only means of refreshment they can command, and evening trolley rides have become necessary not only to the comfort but the health of a very large number of people who cannot get away from the city at this season. Women and children are especially dependent upon these little evening excursions from one part of the city to another or out into the suburbs, and they and all other law-abiding and respectable passengers have the right to demand the preservation of order on the cars and protection from insult or improper The police authorities could not direct their attention to a subject more intimately connected with the general comfort nor to an evil which more urgently appeals for remedy. The lines leading to and from the suburban resorts should be policed more systematically and efficiently, and every effort should be made to bring disturbers of the peace promptly to Justice. When arrests are made in cases palpably vicious or turbulent the full punishment allowed by the law should be inflicted on such offend--ers.

While it is, of course, impossible to have a policeman on every car, special officers might be stationed at transfer and other points at certain hours in the evening when the tide of "rough riders" is coming in from out-of-town resorts, so as to overawe those who are disposed to be disorderly and protect the timid or law-abiding. It would pay the companies to instruct their conductors to make a point of having all disorderly persons promptly arrested, for their profits must necessarily be affected by conditions which tend to alarm or disgust their decent patrons. Special attention in this connection might well be paid to certain elements of the negro population, many of whom seem to make a point on the night cars of being as insolent and ruffianly as they know how to be, and this class of negroes are past masters in insolence and ruffianism. The police authorities of the city and county should give this subject their serious consideration and should take energetic measures for the suppression and punishment of all persons, white or black, who are guilty of disorderly conduct or offensive language on either city or suburban lines.

McKinley, whether they will choose the former In preference to the latter, will not be known until election day. As it is, the situation now is confused and complicated through Mr. Bryan's Insistence upon a silver declaration. The Sun does not believe that Mr. Bryan could bring about a radical change in our financial system if he should be elected President.

It believes that the Republican majority In the Senate could maintain the gold standard against any assaults which Mr. Bryan might be tempted to make upon it. But it Is idle to deny that there are voters who are not Inclined to take any risks, and vthile Mr. Bryan might have secured their support upon a conservative platform, it Is to be feared that they will accept hi challenge, as in 1S96, and oppose his election to the bitter end. Mr.

Bryan had it In his power to secure the support" of that large element in his party which he alienated four years ago, but he has been unwilling to make any of the concessions which ordinary prudence and political sagacity should have dictated without abandonment of principle. Apparently he has been more concerned about his own "vindication" than reuniting and solilify-ing the patty. That he has succeeded in dominating the Kansas City Convention as ro Democratic convention was ever dominated before by one man may be convincing proof of his power over the party as at present constituted. As the dictator of the policies and candidates of the national Democracy he is without a rival, but the dictator is not always acceptable to tho American people, and Me. Bryan's "vindication" may prove the most costly blunder in his political career.

Like the charge at Balaklava, "it is magnificent, but it is not Whatever the result of the election In November may be as regards Mr. Bryan, all Democrats whatever their views may be as to the head of the ticket and his financial views, should combine to elect a Democratic majority in the next House of Representatives. With the Democrats in control of the lower branch of Congress It will be possible to check to a considerable extent the rapid strides which the country is making toward militarism and Imperialism. If Mr. McKinley should be re-elected he would not be able to carry out his imperial program against the opposition of a Democratic House.

If the Republican party controls both branches of Congress, with Mr. McKinley In the White House for another Aerm, It will fasten its dangerous policies upon the country for an indefinite period. Whatever may be Mr. Bryan's fate, the Democratic party should make a supreme effort to elect a majority of the Ixv-nse of Representatives, and thus curb the pernicious influences which, now dominate the Government, THE CniSESE EMPEROR'S SUICIDE. The rebel Prince Tuan, commander-in-chief of the Boxers, having gained control of Pekin and assumed the Imperial power, has, it is said, with Oriental courtesy, granted to the rightful Emperor and the Empress Dowager the privilege, due to persons of their rank, of selecting their mode of death and becoming their own executioners.

They have not been subjected to the Indignity of being put to death by others, but have been allowed to take poison, with the result that the Emperor is dead and the Empress Is in a critical condition. Their position had become impossible. They were In the hands of a victorious rebel, and there was no option of life left to them. They accordingly faced the inevitable In the most dignified manner within their power. Similar suicides were common under the rule of the Roman Emperors, every man of high rank taking his own life whenever, owing to his own indiscreet utterances or the tyrant's caprice, his political position was seriously compromised.

Sometimes the citizen who feit that he had offended the Emperor rose in rebellion and struck for the Imperial power, but few were In a position to attempt to win the Empire, and the rule was to commit suicide at the least Intimation from the palace that one had become a persona non grata. The Sultan of Turkey used to send a bowstring to subjects whose lives or properties were wanted, and the dutiful subject was expected to strangle himself instanter. At present he Imprisons such "reformers" as he can catch, but voluntary exile is nowadays a resource. Siberia was till recently the destiny of Russian politicians having Ideas unpalatable to the Czar, unless suicide relieved the suspected from the terrors of the Pole. Among the Japanese under the old regime hari kari was common.

The spirited Japanese nobleman stabbed himself rather than submit to the least slight, whether from the Emperor or from his equal. The Orientals generally seem to value life less than Westerners, do. At any rate they inflict death upon themselves and others upon grounds that often appear to us to be trivial. Much depends, no doubt, on the point of view. FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.

A consular report puts the number of foreigners in China In 1809 at 17,193, of whom 2,333 were Americans, 5,562 British, 1,134 German, 1,183 French, 1.621 Russian, 2,440 Japanese and 1,423 Portuguese. The number of firms doing business was 933, of which 43 were American, 398 British, 115 German, 195 Japanese, 76 French and 19 Russian. These figures do not Include the leased ports. As to shipping, the entrances and clearances in 1S99 were: British, German, 2.07S; Japanese, French, 822; American, 716; Russian, 484. China's exports to the United States were worth China's imports were worth altogether $179,499,743.

Of this amount England supplied America, Hongkong, India, all the Continent of Europe, including all Russia, $9,867,105. If England, Hongkong and India be classed together the exhibit is striking. OPPERBEVELHEBBER ROBERTS. General Roberts proclamations to the Boers on May 24, announcing the annexation of the Orange State and warning the burghers against the wanton destruction of property, are published in the Bloem-fontein Post in English and Dutch, and the Dutch version is both interesting and Instructive. Oom Paul Is avenged In the titles General Roberts gets in Dutch Field Marshal becomes "Veldmaarschalk" and Commander-in-Chief becomes "Opperbevel-hebber." The Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in South Africa has to" confess himself to be an "Opperbevelhebber der Britsche Krijmacht In Zuid Africa" and to attest the fact by adding "Gegeven onder mijn hand en zegel ten (at the) Hoofdkwartier Kamp" in the year "Een Duizend en Negen Honderd." There are other would-be.

masters besides Lord Roberts, and If President McKinley does not soon begin to do better he will find himself classed with the Opperbevelhebber of South Africa. NATIONAL. SLAUGHTER DAT. The slaughter caused on the Fourth of July by the childish practice of exploding gunpowder in various noisy ways attains the proportions of a national calamity, being equal to the casualties of our Spanish War. Baltimore numbered over thirty killed and wounded, but for the United States the figures run up into the thousands, to 6ay nothing of the property destroyed by fires caused by explosives.

The Chicago Tribune reports 30 persons killed and 1,325 injured, as shown by the statistics of only 125 cities, and property worth reported destroyed by fireworks. Full reports for the whole country would show that the evil ia of very great proportions. Toy pistols, toy cannon, skyrockets, anvil and powder explosions, Roman can-files, squibs all contribute to the list of mishaps. To be added to the number directly killed or wounded by fireworks are the runaway accidents. Not included in the lists are the many weak injured by JJATS TRIMMED FREE.

TWELVE PAGES. BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1903. THE RESrLT AT KAXSAS CITY. For the second time in four years William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, has been chosen as the standard bearer of the national Democracy.

The convention at Kansas City yesterday adopted a platform and nominated him as the candidate of the Democratic party for the highest honor within the cift of the people. The platform is admirable in its anti-imperial and anti-trust declarations, but sadly, perhaps fatally, defective ia Its advocacy of free silver coinage at 16 to 1. If Mr. Bryan Is defeated in November he will be held responsible for the disaster to his party. A few-months ago the outlook for Democratic success in the Presidential contest this year was most encouraging.

Candor compels the admission that the overthrow of McKinleyismandllannaismis less probable now than it was before the Kansas City nlatfi-irm wn adODted. A few days ago Sun pointed 'out that the framers of the platform adopted by the Republicans at Philadelphia had denounced free silver coinage and referred contemptuously to'the Chicago platform of 1SK in order to evoke a reiteration of the most objectionable features of that plat-fomu Mr. Bryan, it appears, bit eagerly at the bait and fell Into the trap which his enemies had laid for him. It required littla political sagacity to comprehend the purpose of the men who framed the Republican platform, but, despite repeated warnings, Mr. Bryan has walked deliberately Into the trap, has diminished his prospects of election and weakened his party by the attitude which he assumed In dictating its platform.

If Mr. Bryan had paid due heed to the representations of the conservative men In his party the Chicago platform would not have been reaffirmed and silver would have been given no unnecessary prominence in this contest. The question of free coinage would have been qnietly laid aside or else minimized to such an extent that it would not have embarrassed the party in Its fight against Imperialism. Mr. Bryan was not only deaf to reason, but he was self-assertive to a point closely, approaching the tone of the average Boss In politics.

Lie allowed It to be understood that silver must go In the platform In a separate declaration, that he would not swerve a hair's breadth from his position and that unless the platform was made as he directed he would not accept the nomination. While such a spirit may commend itself to Mr. Bryan's adherents in the Far West, It 13 resented by many Democrats in the East who voted for him In 1S96. Bosslsm Is not liked In this section In a national leader any more than it is tolerated In State and City bosses. The voters of the East cannot contemplate with approval any attempt to coerce them, and Mr.

Bryan will be lucky if he loses no votes by the autocratic attitude which he has assumed In regard to the silver plank of the Kansas City platform. As ex-Senator Hill very aptly observed: "Just as I am opposed to Imperialism in a nation, so I am opposed to It in an individucL This Is Imperialism of the worst type." Mr. Bryan would do well to reflect upon Mr. Hill's remark. It embodies the views of no inconsiderable number of Democrats In the East who are not disposed to swap King Log for King Stork.

The conservative members of the committee on resolutions made a strong fight against the silver plank of the platform and were defeated by a narrow margin. An analysis of the vote furnishes food for serious reflection. Among the 26 members of the committee who Insisted upon a radical silver declaration were the representatives of Hawaii, Xew Mexico, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts. Tie five Territories have no electoral votes, the four New England States are overwhelmingly Republican, while Oregon a few weeks ago rolled up a Republican majority of than 10,000 in the election of Congressmen and State oflicials. "Wyoming, Washington and North Dakota have ten electoral votes, of which Mr.

Bryan may get four. The States opposed to a special declaration for silver Included such Democratic strongholds as Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia and Florida. Their views were entitled to greater consideration than five Territories, which have no electoral votes, and the New England States, which will return tig majorities for Mr. McKinley. Moreover, some of the States which Mr.

Bryan must carry in order to be elected voted in committee against a reiteration of the silver issue. New York, New-Jersey, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia urged that they be given a fighting chance on a moderate platform, but their wishes were ignored and greater weight was attached to the representations cf Mr. Bryan's supporters from the Territories, from small Western States which will probably return Republican majorities, and New England States which are conceded to McKInley. The action of the convention be amusing if it did not involve the fate of a great political party. In recognizing imperialism, militarism, trusts and the questions growing out of the war with Spain as the leading issues of the Presidential contest, the committee on resolutions and the convention have shown that they are not wholly ignorant of the situation.

To what extent this will offset the declaration for silver will not be known until the votes are counted on election day. The people of the United States have never had an opportunity to vote upon the question of imperialism unconnected with any other issue, and it is to be regretted that they will not have this opportunity in November. As silver is In the Kansas City platform, the Republicans may be relied upon to make the most of it, and the voters will be told that a vote against McKinley is a vote against the Cold standard, and may lead to disastrous results. So, thanks to Mr. Bryan, the battle of 1886 will be fought over again in some measure this year, and a straight poll of the nation on the issue of imperialism without reference to any other issue Is out of the question.

It is true there are many voters how many remains to be Men who believe that imperialism would reater Injury to the country than the CORPORATE GROWTH. The Memphis Scimitar publishes, a list of corporations chartered in that city since the beginning of the year, showing that during the six months capital amounting to over $1,500,000 has been thrown together for the prosecution of various industries. Estimating also the vaine of those associations chartered for charitable, educational and religious work, as to which there is no statement of amount of capital stock, the Scimitar says it is safe to say that the past six months have brought a total of $2,000,000 within the sphere of corporate activity in Memphis. Nearly all this amount is Memphis capital. Since Memphis adopted a proper sanitary system ten years ago it has become one of the healthiest cities in the country and is now growing rapidly in business and population.

DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED EDITOR. Mr. C. O'B. Cowardin, one of the proprietors of the Richmond Dispatch, whose death Is announced in The Sun today, was a man of fine accomplishments and highly esteemed in the Old Dominion.

For many years the paper of which he was part owner has wielded great Influence in Virginia. Mr. Cowardin was a wit and humorist, and possessed an almost inexhaustible stock of "good stories." His reputation as a raconteur extended far beyond the borders of his native State. He will be sorely missed by a large circle of friends, not only In Virginia, but in other States where he was known and admired. Pulmonary Consumption can 1e cured in its incipieucy with Dr.
