Where Ii Doesn't Suit.

This newspapers prediction made
months ago was that instantly on the
announcements of Governor Morton's
candidacy a storm of protest based on
his age would be heard. Already the
rumble of criticism on that score is
started.
And that is not strange; that the
election of a man of Mr.. Morton's years
to the arduous Office of president
would be a foolish proceeding. is true
enough. Were he elected, he would be
nearly seventy-seven years old at the
expiration of his term; unquestionably
John Sherman is right when he says
that men at Morton's time of life are
too old for the wearing work of the
presidency william Henry Harrison
was inaugurated at the age of sixty
eight, and he was dead in thirty days;
he was the oldest man ever elected to
the Office Of president. Grant was
elected to his first term at the age of
forty-seven; Cleveland at the age of
as At the time of his Inauguration.
Garfield was forty-nine years old, Ar
thur fifty, Lincoln fifty-two. Harrison
ftty-six.
Criticism OF Mr.. Morton's candidacy
presents itself in another form. Some
of the republican papers in the COVER
nor's state see the shaping hand of
Mr.. Plat In the policy that was an
nounced last week, and they do not
like 1t. Il vexes them to reflect that in
this important year they may again be
compelled to dance to Mr.. Platt's
music. These are anti-Platt people
the persistence with which Plat gets
the better of them Is tormenting. They
believe-and probably they are right
about it-that Plat, for his own con-
venience, is making a tool of Morton.
Their prediction is that, when the con-
ditions in the convention are ripe for
1t, Platt will cast the governor aside
as he would an old shoe. Or. they ar
que, IL Morton actually gets nominated
and elected. that will mean a Platt
regency that would be beyond endur-
ing.
Some of these anti-Platt republican
journals are up in arms about Nor
tons candidacy. Here is the Buffalo
Express. for instance. with nervous as
sertion that the Morton policy is
shameful, insincere. unpatriotic, in
humane" Yet Morton is in the field
just the same and the indications are
that New York republicanism will give
him strong backing.

In 1857 he went as British representa-
tive to the Siamese court, where he
was taken ill in 1864. and went back to
England, dying the next year. Until
now he has been chiefly known as
traveller and authority on natural
science. To-day his principal fame
rests on his boundary line.

A Sensational Climax

It was a close call for the man Shea
who was to have paid a condemned
murderer's penalty yesterday. The
crime with which Shea was charged
dates from the municipal election that
was held in the city of Troy, N. Y, on
the first Tuesday in March, 1894. The
excitement of the day developed a riot.
An earnest effort had been made to
rid the city offices of the corrupt gang
that had long plundered Troy. Hun
dreds of good citizens were acting In
independence of party relations, I'M
usual efforts were made to bring re-
peaters and ballot-box suffers under
restraint. Troy had become known as
one of the most corrupt cities in Amer
lea in respect to its elections and Its
administration.
The men who brought on the riot
were ward toughs and heelers In the
following of the man Murphy. who dis
ously unfit presence in the senate of
the United States. That happened be-
cause, for a brief period, Senator Hill
ran New York politics, and 1T wasn't
his notion to let New York have reput-
able representation in the federal SEN
ate. Hill goes out in March, 1897; Muir
ply sits till March, 1899. In the senate
Murphy is a chump; he knows just
enough to keep his mouth shut during
debate He disgraces an office to which
lustre had been given by such men as
De Witt Clinton, William L. Marcy,
Silas Wright, Edwin Morgan, William
H. Seward and Roscoe Conkling
Robert Ross was doing a reputable
citizens duty at the polls on the day
of the riot. He was shot dead. He
vorably known in the city of Troy. He
was a man of exemplary habits, and
he met his death in trying to promote
righteous cause. His brother was
seriously wounded. AS usual, the
scene was one of the utmost confusion.
The police interfered and 1t was as
serted that they were responsible for
the killing of Ross, but that charge
| could not be made to stick. Shea was
| tried and convicted.
| Now comes John McGough. at later
than the eleventh hour. and he says
that he killed Ross. McGough is under
a twenty-year sentence for his share
( in the shooting on the fatal election
day. The case is highly sensational;
many people will seriously question
the honesty of McGough's confession
but in any event a respite for Shea is
| the result of it.

"A bit of rock, in a silent sea,

And yet two hearts are beating there.

And yet yon tower tempest-tossed.

Physical Needs of Those Who Desire to

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The typical speed skater has a short
body, capacious, round chest. with we'll

very long, as are also his legs. His feet
are large and fiat. His weak points are
his calves. due to the long. fiat skate to
which his fiattened foot is so closely bound
The large muscles of his chest are not

restful to the tense extensors of the back.
This U.s., no doubt, true, but the result is
disastrous to symmetrical development
This type of figure is seen at its best in
such skaters as the Donahues, McCor-
mick. the old-time professional. who still
skates fast mile, although now 40 years
of age, and in Wilson Breen. a profess
sional who has been a winner of much
gold and glory by means of his long legs
and powerful thighs. The conclusion that
speed skating alone is not a good exercise
to develop a well-built symmetrical man
will be patent to any one who reviews the
facts. If INDUCED in ii should be, as
done by McCulloch in conjunction with
other forms of athletics which bring into

Vaccination.

1t has been generally supposed that
the medical profession was agreed as
to the value of vaccination as a pre-
ventive of smallpox. Objections have
sometimes been raised by a part, a
small part, we believe, of the laity.
Occasionally parents have refused to
permit their children to be vaccinated,
and cases of such refusal have some
times been taken into the courts. But
that any opposition existed among the
physicians themselves is news to the
public 1t seems. however, that there
is some opposition, and the subject of
vaccination is to be discussed pro and
con at the convention of the American
Association of Physicians and Surgeons
which meets in Indianapolis on the fif-
teenth of this month. Some physicians,
II is said, insist that blood poisoning
and many other evils follow in the train
of vaccination. While this, possibly.
may be true 1t will take a great deal
of evidence to convince the world that
the aggregate amount of harm counter
balances the aggregate amount of
good. The wonderful value of vaccina-
ton on the other hand, has been for
years attested by the most noted ply
sicians in all civilized countries, and II
we do not fancy that the opponents of
vaccination viii make much Roadway
