He must be, IL Of good fiber, less of parti-
san when he leaves his high office then be-
fore he went into it.. He cannot but be
more of the statesman and less of the poll
tician. Is there not some place where he
can be seated permanently, to lend his ad-
vice and his well-considered vote on mat
tiers of national Importance? The place
where such service could best be rendered is
the Senate, a body designed by the Consti-
tuition to be composed of the more substan-
tial elements of citizenship, chosen ind-
rectly for the purpose of reducing the
chances of the Upper House being controlled
by those waves of popular excitement that
periodically sweep over the country. 1t has
been suggested that ex-presidents become
Senators-at-large without any special cleo
ton. This suggestion has been made at
various times, and answered in q variety of
ways. Those who oppose the idea have said
that thus there would be created perma-
nent class of ofIice-holders but the afiirma-
tive debaters insist that there could not be
more than two or, at the most, three re-
tired Presidents living at once, and as Pres
idehts are usually chosen at such advanced
ages their natural terms of life expire not
nany years after their retirement from the
presidential office. The demands of their
position at the head of the nation are such
that they seldom come out of the chair
of the chief magistracy with great
capacity to resist the encroachments of
age. Few eX-presidents live to seventy
years. Particularly if the term of office
should be heightened would this objection
diminish. Then it is ursed that with the
condition of the ex-president taking a chair
in the Senate understood by the people il
might be said that his election as president
would in sense be also an election to the
Senate, but it is doubted whether such a
Plan would receive popular assent. That in
such a capacity he would be of great ser
vice to the people cannot but be admitted
With the edge of his party feeling removed
with his appreciation of the gravity of pub
lie questions increased, and with his init
mate knowledge of the necessity of careful
legislation, he would doubtless be a safe
guard rather than a menace to the better
ment of the national welfare, but it would
be as much to the interest of the state in
which the ex-president would reside as it
would be to the national interest to keep
him in public life: there would be nothing
to prevent his own people from electing him
to the House or the Senate. 1t Is not good
business for the people to deliberately dis
miss such valuable servants as ex-presi-
dents must necessarily be.

The speech of ex-Presdent Harrison in
New York on Wednesday night cannot fail
to revive in many minds the perennial ques-
ton that must eventually come before the
people for settlement: What shall We do
with our ex-presidents? This query cannot
be said 70 be futile, nor can it fail to con-
Germ the thinking minds of the nation, for
there is involved in it most significant
matter of economy. That speech at Car
negie Hall was the utterance not only of a
Republican politician, but of statesman
broadened by his experience in the highest
office in the gift of the people, and strength
ened in his views OF public affairs by four
years of contact with the machinery of gov
eminent That is an experience that, by the
nature of things, few men can attain in this
country, and If the present tendency to In
crease the presidential term to six years
shall ever be realized in legislation, by fewer
In future years than in the past. No other
line OF public life can give to a man the
same peculiar breadth of political character
There is no substitute Whatever may be
the nature OF the man as he enters the
White House, he is necessarily of more
capable service to his country at the close
Of his term OF Office Why should the ma
ton then deliberately discard the services

There were sixty-two men employed on
the city post-office building today. Sixty
two men ought. according to The Stars
more than generous estimate, to BE- able to
complete the structure by January 1. 1897,
but a prrely-businesslike calculation has it
that he who looks for completion before
August IL. 1906. runs many chances of being
disappointed. During the week which closes
today, the average number of men employed
daily was sixty-four and five-sixtks. The
average per day for the five weeks which
have elapsed since The Star COMMENCED to
take a daily census is forty-eight and two
f1fths. 1t is two years, eight months and
fourteen days since the work was begun.

Seventeen Year Pests.

Chicago, April "a. The seventeen
year locusts appeared by Thousands
yesterday in various parts of the
State. coming up through holes in
the ground, which looked as though
made with cane and varying from
one to three feet in depth. at sun
set the insects again retired to these
holes. If the weather is warm they
will be able to climb this week, and
then the destruction of young foliage
will begin.
Most of the grubs which came out
yesterday were very lively. The,
were precisely like those which
peared in 1877. The lA":;c d
under the moss have been shelte.,l
in perfectly formed clay nests similar
to wasps. The average depth at
which they are now found is one
foot, showing that they have trav-
eled from two to three feet within
two weeks. Large numbers have
been discovered in many parts of
Illinois and Missouri within a few

EsmeraEda's Coal Beds.

| The Denver - ming Industry com
ments as follows on the late discov
cry Of coal in ksmeralda county:
1T has long been theory among
biologists that there is no coal est
of about the western boundary Of
Utah. The vast country extending
from the Wasatch range tc the Ser
IA Nevada, and from Idaho to the
| Gulf of California, though it is mostly
sedi'nentary, has been o.aa.ed Us be
| longing to the Paleozoic time, and
supposed to be non-coal bearing.
evidently, however, some mis-
take has been made, as coal has been
discovered in Western Nevada about
% miles east of California. Mr. A.
Nj. Welles of Denver has shown us
some samples, which are evidently
extracted from near the surface.
They have, however, good lustre,
and their analysis shows them to be
long to bituminous Goals. They
yield volatile matter, 35.7; ixed car
bon, 47.4 ash, 17.9. NJ nlfcrma-
ton has yet been received re- riding
the thickness of the deposit. The
