REEORM III SARATOGA

So-otogo Snrngs is one of the leading summer
resorts of this country and 1t has long been one OF
the wckedest as regards the seductive vice Of gam
bling For years of the recognized attractions
of the spa has been the haunt OF its " tiger" At
one time so at least it was commonly reported the
tiger kept open house in the morning, not tor Dusl-
ness. but merely to afford curious gentlemen and
their sisters and their cousins and their aunts an
opportunity to inspect his splendid environment.
During the seasons when the college regattas drew
thousands of undergraduates to Saratoga it was
matter of pnblic notoriety that night after night
scores of these boys were to be found in this
fascinating gambling hell.
In the nature of things Saratoga was bound
sooner or later to uproot this giant evil and this
summer good work has been done in that direction.
The Saratoga gambler Is understood TO be per-
sonalyfan agreeable brother who spends his easily
acquired money generously. literally supporting
public enterprises and given to deeds OF charity.
1t is not altogether strange therefore that the
town has been uncommonly slow to the wrath
which his lawless course was well calculated to
arouse in a reputable community. sThe wrath,
however, ia now manifestng itself. and unless all
signs fail the Saratoga gambler, Ike his profess
sonal brother at Long Branch. must CO. The Sara
toca Club House, the tigers favorite lair, and

soon as the fraternity discovered that arrests and
searches were being made business was generally
suspended With view or quickening public
sentiment a circular has been prepared aud widely

drainage and the like and nobody is deceived.
As for the scheme of local government Tor
the United Kingdom, which Lord Randolph
Churchill intmates will be the great measure
70 be laid before Parliament in the spring, the
Irish people will regard it as another ignorant
attempt to reform their grievances in the
English way and they will not be grate-
ful for it. The Nationalist members will prob
ably accept an extension of local government
for what it is worth to them, and iOleed the
chances arc that it will be very useful to their
cause. If local unions throughout Ireland arc
once fully armed with rating ard taxing powers,
they may easily avail Themselves of legal
machinery for completing the ruin of the land
lords as shrewd observers like MIR. Motley have
already forcseen. The local government scheme
NAV not be strcnuously opposed by the Irish
members. They may vote for it in body.
Dut they will never consider it a settlement in
full Of the demands for Home Rule. The Gov
crrmcnt in reality proposes to do nothing Tor
six months and then to bring in a measure that
will leave England and Ireland as far apart as
they are to-day, and withal to widen the
breach by return to coercion.

crs, but he was not so sure that God admired
them All the world admires Washington, but
how much love does he inspire
Washington Irving, the biographcr OF the
father of his country, is partly responsible Tor
this popular impression of the great man
"Washington," writes Irving, chad very little
private life he was esnincntly public charac-
ter. All his actions aid concerns almost from
boyhood were connected with the history of his
country" That talles with the popular CON
ccption of Washington-a majestic individual
who passed directly from his cradle into the
forefront of public affairs and who had neither
time nor inclination for private HE In all that
it implies of the duties and pleasures growing
out of the family and of society.
Now, Obviously. Wa,hington's standing win
postcrity would he improved if it could be made
to appear that he was less top-lofty and more
human than he has commonly bcen pictured.
We don't need to be told that he was great
but We would like to be able to believe that
he was winning, sOciable sympathetic a good
fellow. And to this patriotic task Edward
Everett Hale has addressed himself. A few
DAYS ago he delivered lecture at Chautauqua
on 1.-The Human Washington" which was de-
signed to demonstrate that the father OF his
country was as human rs the rest OF us, that nc
was not dcmgod but superb specimen OF
manhood. The human Washington as MIR. Hale
paints him, is n man whose passions were as
strong rs they were well controlled, who had
many ard remarkable indvdualitics, who was
ambitious, who liked to sit and pick walnllts
after dinner, who sometimes traded horses, who
would buy lottery tickets as freely rs he would
buy brown sugar, who all through his young
life was singulary quick to fall i"lovc, who
wrote verses to his flames, whose home life was
a protest against Jcffcrsonan simplicity, who
sent to London for his clothes, who liked to
have young people around him, who was talk
atiye when among friends, who was fond OF pct
urcs and books, who was sometimes gwen TO
extravaganza of speech. Such are some OF the
characteristics of the human Washington Mos
of them may be familiar to students of his lic
ard character, but they have never been gwen
enough prominence to impress thcmsclves upon
the general reader Mr.. Hale expresses the
belief that the human Washington, the Wash
ington of daily life, will be known much better
by the generations of the next century than by
the gcnei ations of the century which has gone
bv." 1t is to be hoped so. For it is only a'
his countrymer come to believe that there really
was n human Washington, possessed OF Ike
nassiOps with themselves, that admiration fol
the patriot will be rounded out with love tol
| the man.
