The Democratic Boston Herald reaches
the rather belated conclusion that il is
time the Harrison ''grandfather's hat
joke was abandoned, IL being cheap poll
tics and Benjamin Harrison being a
much greater man than his grandfather
ever was. 1t makes no difference TO
Harrison or his friends whether the joke
Is abandoned or not. 1t lost its point
long ago. even TO the cheap wits who
fancied IL had any. and the hat became
a token of distinction rather than OF
discredit. III there should be another
Harrison campaign ii is more than likely
that the candidates adherents will wear
a big hat" badge. serene in the knowl-
edge of the now undisputed fact that the
hat fits the brains il covers.

That is a great programme which the
projectors of the summer school at Eagle
lake have laid out. The fact that Prof.
John NJ. Coulter is at its head is guaran-
tee of its high character and of the fact
that it is not meant TO be mere pleasure
resort with few lectures thrown in as
feature of entertainment. The staff of
teachers, as announced yesterday. is anoth-
er proof of serious purpose and an assur-
ance that the best instruction in all
branches of study will be furnished. all the
names mentioned being those of specialists.
The "Chautauqua idea has been rather
overworked, perhaps, and the original
Chautauqua. according to all accounts. has
somewhat lowered its former high standard.
but there is room. no doubt, for a school of
the sort planned at Eagle lake. Its pro-
gramme and scope, at all events. are of a
character to attract many persons who
would not, ordinarily be personally inter-
ested in such an undertaking.

Why Morton Was Dismissed.
Washington Special.

Washington is smiling broadly this after
noon over the discovery OF what was at
the bottom OF the summary removal OF
Auditor Morton. Of the Navy Department.
II seems that Secretary Herbert bought q
new carriage OF latest style and highest
polish, for which he contracted on behalf
OF the government 10 pay 500. Auditor
Morton thought the expenditure extrava-
giant and refused TO allow the blu. persist
ing to the bitter end. The Secretary finally
had 20 report the fact to the president. who
bounced the Auditor as the only way 10
save Herbert from being obliged 10 pay
for the carriage out OF his OWL pocket.

The action Of the government In send

in good faith, but it comes too late to
prevent the departure of an expedition

government should use due vigilance in
this regard and fulfill it's international
obligations, but if in spite Of its efforts
a few expeditions should succeed in
slipping away and getting to Cuba,
Americans will not shed any tears.
