Mr.. Wilson'S Views.

To the Editor Of The Times:
The fact -yoa state in your paper OF the

the English alliance under the name of
arbitration is TO nail down demonetiza-
ton so that we ourselves cannot take it
up, / claim the credit of being the first
American to point out But whether L
claim this rightfully or not, what kind of

gress so far as was needed, and hoodwtnk-
ing the other part into demonetizing the
money OF the Constitution in order that
England might thereby rob America, as
she has not the physical strength TO do.
The cold facts about Queen Victoria are
that she has not even the domestic rir-

TENURE OF OFFICE.

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court, handed down in the case
of H. Il. Parsons. late United States
district attorney for the Northern dis
trict Of Alabama, will settle for all time
a question that has been involved in
doubt ever since the passage OF the ten
ure of office act soon after the close Of
the civil war Parsons was appointed to
office in 1890 for term of four years,
and in 1898, a change Of administra-
tion having meantime taken place, he
was removed. Instead of voluntarily
relinQuishing the office he wrote a let
ter to the president alleging his right
to serve the full term under section 169
of the Revised Statutes, and asserting
that the president had no right to re-
move him. In obedience to an order of
the Circuit Court, however he finally
turned over the office TO his successor
and began legal proceedings for rein
statement. The lower court decided
against him, and he appealed to the
Court of Claims. which affirmed the de-
cision. Thereupon he appealed to the
Supreme Court. and that tribunal yes
terday settled the matter by affirming
the decision of the Court of Claims in
an opinion by Justice Peckham that an
official is subject to removal at the dis
cretion of the president at any time be-
tween the date of his appointment and
the expiration of his term of office. II
may be said that the result of the liti-
cation will be no surprise to lawyers
for no one learned in the law ever be-
lever in the validity of the Tenur,
of Office Act. It was one of the curiou!
statutes that was developed out of the
abnormal conditions incident to the re
obstruction period and the fruit of th'
disagreement between President An
drew Johnson and Congress. 1t serve,
its purpose for a time to some extent
but soon afterward fell into disuse, an'
this decision will no doubt end it for
ever-Kansas City Star.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
RECENT RAILROAD STATISTICS.


The railway mileage Of the world has,
during the last sixteen years, increased
at an average annual rate OF $4,000
miles, and now stands at about 100000
miles. IL will readily be inferred that,
In regard to length OF track, the United
States Is an easy first AT the end of
last year 1t possessed 1872, 800 miles Of
steam railway, as compared with 176,-
229 miles in 1894. For the whole Amer
lean continent the total is approx
mately 23O,370 miles, South America
boasting a trife in excess of $4,000
miles, Canada and Newfoundland &c.
23O, and Mexico and Central
America the rest-a matter of T.
64O miles, In the whole of Eu-
rope there are 16l 800 miles Ger
many leading with 29,24O miles. France
coming second with 26,450 miles, and
Russia third, with 23,630 miles. The
place Of Great Britain and Ireland is
fourth on the list Our actual mileage
in operation, according to the latest re-
turn of the Board of Trade was 21,174
miles at the beginning of last year.
Next after this country ranks Austria
Hungary, with $500 miles Asia, as a
consequence OF activity on the Trans
Siberian railroad, in British linda and
in Japan (Which has recently had its
railway mania), has in the last three
years seen a remarkable increase, and
the total now works out at 2S, ,490 miles,
against 26O70 miles in 1893. OF this to-
tai 1900 miles must be credited to In
dia, 1850 miles toJapan, and 2,300 miles
to Russia, the Others being Dutch In
dia q ,260 miles) Asia Minor G,100
miles), Ceylon, Siam, Malay and Port
India, Cochin China. Tonquin, China,
and Persia. In the whole of Africa,
which has an area of about 11,950,000
50. miles, or a round 4,O000 600 miles less
than either Asia or America, there are
about $500 miles Of railway; while Aus
tralia. with an area of 1854 All square
miles, now possesses close upon 10000.
In regard to railway mileage per 100
square miles of territory, neither of the
three great continents of Asia, Africa
or America shows well beside Europe.
There are ten countries in which the
state does not control the railways,
namely Great Britain Colombia, Mex
leo. Paraguay Peru Spain, Switzerland,
Turkey. the United States and Uruguay.
Eighteen governments own and operate
some OF their railways. These are Ar
gentine, Australia, Austria-liungary
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, South Africa,
Chilli. Denmark, France, Germany,
Guatemala. India. Japan, Norway, Por-
tugal Russia and Sweden. Egypt and
| Nicaragua own and control practically
all their railways, while Greece. HOl-
/ land and Italy own part of their sew
eral systems, but do not work any, leas-
| ing all the present mileage to joint
stock companies. In Canada about
one-tenth of the total mileage is own
ed and controlled by the government
which loses something like e100,00C
per annum on its proportion.-Pall

nIspEL ME APATHY.

Between now and FAN the board OF
directors Of the Young Mems Christian
Association should decide what to do
with that organization The branch In
this city is not doing what It should
do. and It's best friends know II. There
is lacking that something which makes
the branches in other cities Of this size
most potent factors in the moral and
physical welfare OF young men. What
IL is we are not prepared to say. II Is
for those more intimately identified
with the work to determine what Is
needed to place it on an equal footing
with other branches. IL seems to be suf-
fering with dry rot. IL doubtless needs
more generous support in financial
way, and new blood in its working
corps.
-Four or FIVE years ago there was not
that apathy which now exists. Some
thing new was being devised all the
time to keep up the interest of the
young men in the work. The associa
ton was heard of in the ball field and
in the bicycle races. Every amusement
of clean, wholesome and healthful char
acter was encouraged. But now 1t is
seldom that the association is heard OF
outside Of the Sunday afternoon meet
ings.
What Is being done in other cities
can be done here if the same agencies
are employed.
Our people, and especially our young
men. are not so different from Others
that they cannot be reached. If the plan
of work now being pursued is unat-
tractive and ineffective, let us have a
new plan which will lead to the desired
result.

FOREIGNERS SEEK NATURALIzA
TION.

West Chester, July 13.-At the regu-
lar session of Monday court held yes
terday there were quite a large number
of foreignrs asking for naturalization
papers, and several were refused be-
cause of their being unable to read in
the English language. This recent rul-
ing on the part of Judge Hemphill has
called forth much praise from the pub
lie in general. but it strikes terror
among those whom it debaTs from citi-
zenship, since the state law taxes these
employing non-citizens.
