WILL PROMPTLY SWING.

the supreme court Of California had re-
fused TO grant him another trial was re-
ceived with universal satisfaction. He
who had first violated the innocence Of
his victials before fouIly numbering
them, shed great, big crocodile tears an
being apprised OF the finding of The
court. But his hypocrisy which served

M,K1NLEY's FIRST WORD.

Nothing which an editor could say
would tend to render more clear or fore
fble the declarations contained in PresI-
dent McKinley's inaugural. In that
brief address what the policies of his
administration will be is more than out
lined. 1t is succincty defined III the
plainest terms. No sentence uttered by
him is susceptible of two meanings.
1t is all straightforward. The
words are simple and plain, the
ideas definite and the reasoning forc1ble-
Nothing is minced, nothing left IN
doubt. He admits the deplorable con-
dision into which the country and all
its interests have been plunged, naming
the principal troubles and prescribing
the remedies. While he endorses civil
service in the spirit in which it was en-
acted, he deprecateS the fact that it has
been enforced for partisan ends. There
must be no more running into debt III
times of peace, but greater economy an
times of depression. Realizing that
much of the distrust and disaster of the
past four years have grown out OF our
currency and monetary policies, he suS-
gests radical reforms, TO which end he
commendS a non-partisan commission
of experienced business men and states
men whose duty it shall be to report
plan or simplified system wherein no
contraction OF volume shall be possible,
but whereby all uncertainty will be
eliminated. On the questions Of pro-
lection and reciprocity his words have
the old-time Mckinley ring. Not only
must current expenses be promptly met
without recourse to interest-beari
bonds, but the liberal pension policy of
the Republican party be maintained,
and, in the meantime, the national debt
steadily wiped out. Taken all in all,
the speech is a remarkable one, remark
able for its clearness, scope and cour-
pOp

A TRUE AMERICAN.

The more that IS known about the
course taken by Consul General Lee at
Havana the more he is respected by
every American with red blood in his
veins. The official correspondence be-
tween Lee and Olney shows that the
former took an aggressive part in de
maliding protection for Americans un-
justly imprisoned in Cuba, and that his
requests for support at home were IN
needed
General Lee declared that II he was
not backed up by the administration he
would resign. He was right He would
have been a craven, unworthy the name
of an American, If he had consented TO
play a cowardly part at Havana.
General Lee has shown his manliness
and his Americanism by the firm stand
he has taken for the protection of Amer
lean interests in Cuba. He went to Ha-
vana unknown to the great majority Of
his countrymen. But he has in his short
residence there demonstrated that he Is
an American worthy the name,

Mrs. Adams sued as the ADMINISTRATIVE

races in cab, and at the crossing an ex-

man at the crossing was or was not negii-
gence on Its part That, the Court of Ap-
peals holds, was error, saying: "It is plain

Death of Mrs. Eliza Grcatorex.

Mr.. A. S. Pratt has received a cablegram
announcing the death, IN Paris yesterday,
of his sister, Mrs. Eliza Greatorex, in the
seventy eighth year of her age. Death fol-
lowed a long illness. Since 1882 Mrs. Grea-
torex, with her two daughters, had made
Paris her home.
Mrs. Greatorex was one of the most IA
nous of American women artists, and was
known both for her work with the brush
and with pen and ink. She was born in
Ireland, and was the daughter of Rev. Jas.
Calcott Pratt. She came to New York in
1910, and in 1S49 married Mr.. Henry Well
ington Greatorex, well-knoWn musician.
Subsequently she studied art in New York,
in Paris and in Munich. In 1868 she was
elected an associate of the National Acad-
emy being the first woman who received
that recognition. She leaves two daughters,
both of whom inherited her talent and have
been eminently successful with the brush.
