CURRENT COMMENT.
= THE LATE DANIEL G. ROLLINS.
New York Post,

The death of Daniel G.. Rollins is sad
loss to the city and to the legal profess
sion. He had served the community
with ability as district attorney, and
during the last days of his life he was
chosen, because of his conspicuous fitness,
to conduct as special counsel the impor-
tant prosecution of the police officials.
He had been O judge of real distinction,
and earned as surrogate reputation
which few of his predecessors land none
who came after him) could equal. The
city might also have had his services as
judge of the supreme court had not the
accidents of politics defeated him. Luck
lily, however, the electorate does not de-
eide mans place in the estimation of
his profession; SO Judge Rollins's rare
Judicial qualities-patience thorough
ness, absolute fairness, and good humor-
were not suffered to fall into disuse be-
cause he was not an elected Judge. Both
bench and bar agreed in selecting him to
hear important cases as referee, to such
an extent that his judicial duties NAV
properly be said to have continued with
his life. He was yet young man. as
great lawyers go, and should have had
many years of activity and honor before
him; and tho unexpected announcement
Of his death comes as blow to those
who knew him as the most amiable of
men and relied upon him as one of the
most useful of citizens.

The Citizens Union has gone ahead and
nominated Seth Low for Mayor on Its
own hook without consulting the Repub-
llcan organization or any other organiza-
ton. How this action will be regarded
by the Republicans remains to be seen.
The general opinion among the leaders
after the actiop of the Citizens Union was
known was that it meant an indepen-
dent nomination by the Republicans, but
reflection may change this. A third
nomination means the sure success of
Tammany, and to prevent such calain-
ity the Republicans may patrioti-
cally put aside their resentment at the
bumptiousness of the Citizens Union
and support Mr.. Low.

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
How the Blue Crystal Island Grand
Bursts Its Glacier Bonds.

John Muir, the discoverer Of the great
Muir glacier, writes of 1.-THE Alaska
Trip" in The Century. Mr.. Muir says OF
the glacier that bears his name:
/ The number of bergs given off varies
somewhat with the weather and the tides.
For 10 consecutive hours counted the
number discharged that were large
enough to make themselves heard like
thunder at distance of a mile or two
and found the average rate to be one in
five or six minutes. The thunder of the
largest may be heard, under favorable
circumstances, ten miles or more When
large mass sinks from the upper assured
portion of the wall, there is first keen,
piercing crash, then deep, deliberate,
long drawn out, laundering roar, which
slowly subsidies into q comparatively low,
FAR reaching, muttering growl then comes
q crowd OF grating, clashing sounds from
the agitated bergs that dance in the waves
| about the newcomer as if in welcome. and
these, again, are followed by the swash
and roar OF the berg waves as they reach
the shore and break among the powders.
But the largest and most beautiful of
| the bergs, instead of falling from the ex-
posed weathered portion of the wall, rise
| from the submerged portion with still
grander comnotion, heaving aloft nearly
| to the top of the wall with awful roaring,
tons of water streaming like hair down
their sides, while they heave and plunge
again and again before they settle in
poise and sail away as blue crystal islands
free at last after being held fast as part
| of o slow crawling glacier for centuries.
And how wonderful it seems that ice
formed from pressed snow on the noun
| all it's toll and travel in bringing down
and fashioning the face of the landscape,
| still remain pure and fresh and lovely in
color! When the sunshine is pouring and
! Sitting in iris colors through the midst
of all this wilderness of angular crystal
ice and through the grand, flame shaped
ing from tho blows of the falling bergs,
/ the effect is indeScribably plOrOus

W. E. Curtis says the activity of the
German government in promoting agri-
cultural education is greater than that OF
any other nation. The system is abso.
lutely perfect There are schools for the
training of peasants in the simplest forms
of agriculture; there are academies fol-
the education of ''boss' farmers, and the
owner or the heir to the Eestate if he In
tends to follow agriculture will be sent to
a university where be can obtain as thor.
ough knowledge of his profession as is
furnished to engineers or lawyers or
doct >rs of medicine. Our farmers have
no conception of the thoroughness and
care with which the farms of Germany
are managed. The agricultural schools
of the United States ara much less thor
ough and scientific.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness caused by ca.arrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

There is no question where the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy are. The State conven-
ton just held swallowed the whole Chica-
go platform, denounced the single gold
standard, and demanded a return to the
standard that existed before 1873. They
congratulated William J. Bryan for his
masterful championship of these princi-
pies. Their contempt for gold Democrats
was emphasized by deposing and repudi-
ating William J. Harrity. Last year the
principles which this Democracy stands
for were repudiated by voters of Pennsyl-
vania by 300, 900 majority. This year, in
view of the object lesson presented by the
Democratic convention, we may fairly ex-
pect them to be buried beneath half a
million.

NOMINATE SETH LOW.
(Boston Advertiser.)

The manly, sensible, polite thing, then,
Tor the Republicans of Greater New
YORK to do is to nominate for mayor the
only Republican who can be elected
then put forth every possible effort to
eject MIN. 1t success crowns their efforts,
they will reap the greater part of the
glory and of the political advantage. They
Will win the respect of their allies and
the gratitude of the whole country.
Everyb body will see, very plainly, when
the votes come to be counted that much
more than one-haf of the votes that elect
ed Seth Low were cast by Republicans
and everybody will give credit where
credit is due.

Continental powers are considering the
propriety and necessity of adopting COM
mon action against the Anarchists The
founding Of an international deportation
colony on an island of the Pacific has
been suggested by Italy. Spain gladly
adopted the suggestion and offered for the
purpose. one of the philippine or Caro-
line Islands. France is now considering
the matter and if she accepts the plan,
the other nations will be invited to do so
also.

France appears to have gone into per.
feet frenzy of joy over the Russian ALI.
ance which is recognized as fact by all
Europe. Whether the conditions of the
alliance warrant this high pressure en-.
thusiasm is matter of guesswork. Time
alone will disclose the nature of the
agreement. 1t may be purely defensive
or it may go further and pledge to France
assistance in any aggressive undertak-
ings-the latter is hardly likely. In either
case, tangible something has taken the
place OF that mere exchange of vague SEN
timentalities which heretofore existed.
and from this point of view there is
probable cause for reasonable amount of
rejoicing on the part of Frenchmen.

WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING OUR
SELVES.

While speaking Of the great strides
made by Great Britain during the reign
Of Queen Victoria. 1t is not ont Of place
TO say that Uucle Sam has kinder done
something himself during that same
period. To begin with. in 1887, the year
upon which Victoria assumed the sceptre
as Queen. the wealth Of the United
States was $1,000, 100000 To-day 1t Is
$780, 900, 100000. Isn't that something?
Besides. while Great Britain has added
vast territory TO her domain, the United
States has not ben asleep, but has
picked up an acre or two.
In 1915 Texas, which had been a part
Of Mexico, was admitted to the Union
as a, State. BY the admission OF Texas
the United States acquired some thing
over $4,000 square miles, and the terri
tory acquired from Mexico by purchase
and indemnity added still further to our
possession $50, 900 square miles, out Of
which the States Of California, Utah and
Nevada. and parts OF Colorado, Arizona
and New Mexico have since been Great
ed
In 1853 the United States purcha sed
from Mexico 10000 square miles and
this new acquisition now forms a part Of
New Mexico and Arizona. In 1867 Alas
lsa was purchased from Russia, the area
secured embracing 577,390 square miles
In addition we have accomplished
more in internal development than has
been the case with Great Britain. But
perhaps the best that can be said is that
Of the 2,S39.070 square miles OF territory
acquired by the United States since
1903, not an acre Of it was wrested from

THEY mAvE COME TO he HAPPY

The people of Mexico have cause to be
happy. and as people they are happy.
The MeNican Herald, which is published
ut the Capitol Of that country, says
that there is, happily, no politics to
write about. Partisanship, we are ussur-
ed, lies dead, factions are dumb, the peo-
pie are all patriotic and are addressing
themselves to the Improvement Of their
fortunes. All this is made possible by
the fact that "a busineSS-like admins
tration is attending strictly TO business
and working Tor the good Of Mexico and
all OF Mexico. General DiaZ takes an
impartial interest in the affairs Of the
whole country. He has said he would
like TO live fifty years to see the Mex.
leo Of the future. We all wish that he
might, for 1t will be his great monu-
ment, modernized. prosperous, ana
contcnted nation
Continuing OH this strain The same
authority says:
There being no ofllcc-seeking on
huge scale herc,no tinl1cring OF Ia
riffs, no upsctting Of fixed politics,
newspaper men have to look for
something else TO write about-pub-
lie improvements, new charters the
growth OF the gold and silver min
ing industry. the new factories, the

FROM VENEZUELA.

&ss:Accoralngs TO the Baltimore Herald, DR..
;: :AA'dolph Ernst, librarian of the National
Library Of Venezuela, who has been sent
by Venezuela to Georgetown. in British
5Guiana, to study the historical docu-
ments there, has given to the correspond
Ont OF the London Times the Venezuelan
view or MIR. Cleveiand's interference In
behalf Of Venezuela In her dispute with
Great Britain, and he makes it very
plain that while Venezuela is entirely
ready to accept whatever benefit she can
derive from the mess that Mr. Cleve-
land made, she does not thank us at all,
and resents decidedly our interference.
lie says:
'Venezula is naturally very grateful
to the Washington Government, but has
no intention OF playing the vassal State.
The Monroe doctrine Is exploded. 1t has
no reason for It's existence at the pres
ent time. and President Cleveland's at
tempt to apply tt to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute cannot be justified.
Indeed, do not think he can have an
ticipated the effect which his message
on the subject produced"
This is what we get for helping the
Vcnczuclans out OF q position in which
they would have been squelched by
Great Britain but for the position taken
by this country in the matter OF SEN
timent Of the boundary question But
this is not all.
Hear what DR.. Ernst has 20 say fur
Their on the subject, while referring to
Mr.. Cleveland:
He was moved to revive the Monro,
doctrine in this matter probably more
by political eXigcncies at home than by
the desire 10 make the United~ States
The protector Of the American continent.
That doctrine was formulated for a spe-
cial purpose. and the conditions which
rendered it necessary have long passed
away" f,
This is appreciation with vengeance,
and the next time those people get in
uobule it will be in order to let them
alone to work out their own salvation.
