THE PRESIDENT AT PHILADELPHIA.

The Presidents engagement to visit Pnila'
delphia and address the students of the Cniver'
slty Of Pennsylvania on Washlngton's Birthday
was made at a time when there was no reason
to suppose that brief absence from the seat
Of Government would attract any more atten-
ton than always and properly follows Presl'
dents appearance and public uttcrances in ans
other place If Mr.. Mckinley had chosen TO
regard the present critical juncture OF affairs
as a sufficient excuse for releasing himself from
his Philadelphia engagement. nobody would
have criticised him. He has, nevertheless, per-
formed a public service in attending the Uni
versity Day exercises and inviting his country
men to consider the characteristics and policies
of Washington The mere fact OF his willing
ness to leave the capital for night and day.
even though II was known that messages could
be exchanged at any moment, was Indicative
Of q belief on his part that the situation was
somewhat less perilous than many supposed.
and for that reason calculated 10 produce
a tranquzlng effect. That he foresaw and
desired to justify that effect Is not improbable,
but he doubtless also wished to emphasize I'M
der profoundly impressive conditions the duty
Of deriving both admonition and inspiration
from the sublime character Of Washington, oh
the anniversary of his birth.
The Presidents countrymen do not fail 10
perceive that he himself is furnishing an ex-
ceedngly valuable illustration OF some Of the
qualities which made the Father Of His Country
lllustrious and indispensable. As the historian
Green said In that tribute which Americans
read with ever fresh delight in its ardor and In
sight, Washington was as remarkable for the
patience with which he waited as for the quick
ness and hardness with which he struck. He
took no snap judgments. He made himself
master Of the facts upon which conduct must
be based. He knew before he decided, and con-
seQuently many Of his contemporaries com
planned that his decisions were slow. But they
never had reason to complain after the event.
In this great attribute Of patience, expressing
a deep sense Of public care, the latest President
Of the United States is not unworthy to be
compared with the first Such deliberatlon is
essential to the doing Of things that will not
have to be undone, and the country gratefully
trusts Mckinley to choose the moment for pass
ing into action.

to be left inchoatc and unvoiccd. The proposed

to be left inchoatc and unvoiccd. The proposed
new law entered into the question neither one
way nor the other The NewYOrk machine
might take the Rochester machine. II 1t Is as
honest as its organ intimates, rs an example
Of character but 1t could not adopt its method
OF procedure TO any purpose, and The Tribune
did not ask 1t to, for the simple reason that no
such delay touches the point In controversy
here.
A Dew primary law Is needed. but no new
primary law can bring to life dead machine.
and no prospect of one can command allegiance
for an unburled corpse If the publishers or
"rhe Democrat and Chronicle should discover
that their charter was void they would hasten
to reorganize some sort of body to transact
their business, even If they expected the next
Legislature to pass law under which they
might form a corporation which would more
perfectly protect the rights of the stockholders.
They would not leave their property suDJec'
to attack for six months or six days. New
York Republicans last fall found themselves
without a legal representative body. Inc con-
sttutlon Of the organization provided that when
the vote In district fell below the enrolment
The district association was ipso facto dis
solved Nine-tenths of the associations were
thus suspended from representation. Yet, IN
spite Of protests, the bosses, without making
any pretence Of reinstatlng the associations ms
provided by the constitution, proceeded to have
these Illegal associations elect delegates TO
rump conventions, from which alone the present
machine holds title. These were not Kepup-
llcan conventions under the constitution or the
party any more than n chance meeting OF haii
a dozen politicians In the Fifth Avenue Hotel
is a Republican convention. Nag these pollti-
clans for not waiting for a new law: Far from
it, hundred laws could not make clear
title for them. The most perfect primary law
is useless without n party to act under 1t.
Therefore II was necessary for the Fifty-three
to 60 ahead under the present law and have
some organization ready for the future
VIII 1.-THE Democrat and Chronicle kindly
set us right with its many readers rs to th'
nature Of our complaint against the New-fork
County machine. which is not that its actions
are hasty or inopportune. but that they are
utterly unconstitutional and void?

PREPARE FOR PEACE.

Washipgton's words. I'm time Of peace pre-
pare for war" have for different minds two IN
terpretatons. There are some who read and
quote them as II he had said: "In time Of
peace get force ready for the next war Of con-
"quest, and meantime nag, bully and insult
"other Powers SO that victorious war may come
soon" Others read the injunction as only a
warning against neglect OF National defence
even at Q time when there is not the least cloud
Of danger in sight Washington showed often
enough that he had no patience with the men
who were perpetually trying to force quarrel
upon foreign Powers. In order to make for them
selves a spurious reputation as patriots, or TO
win FOR themselves sboulde--straps or fat con-
tracts But he had as little patience for those
who suffered their own stinginess to convince
them that no war was possible-that big ships
and costly guns and well-prepared forces meant
only waste Of public money, and that the sensi-
bic thing was to leave preparation for war until
war had begun.
Washington knew nothing Of war as II Is
wagcd to-day. The improved guns which thrust
aside a. useless the big armameps In 186l.'64
have themselves been thrust aside az useless
by weapons Of far greater power and range
But It takes months and money 10 produce
them. Running By the forts below New-Or-
leans. or at Vicksburg in Mobile Bay Is a
feat which Is not TO be attempted In these days,
even by heavily armored vessels the armor for
which also costs months and money There are
torpedoes which cannot be pulled up or made
harmless by an advancing feet. Possible enc
mics are by this time well aware that some
tons Of she'll can be dropped continually on
every little square on the map within or near
New-York Harbor, and that the mines and tor
pedoes Of unknown locations below. and unseen
messengers Of destruction steered beneath the
water, would render this an unpleasant bay to
visit with hostile intent But will Congress
have the sense to ascertain what ports are as
we'll defended. how large is the supply Of am
munitiOn and explosives, how long 1t would
take TO produce more. how many men are
trained and competent to use the engines Of
modern warfare. and how long Il will take TO
make others competent? II 1t does not know,
or II II knows. why are measures needed for
public defence delayed?
Preparation to-day takes months where 1t took

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAP.
ID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do No; Be Alarmed. But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles lt least anoag Amerl
cans. are certainly increasing. and Will,
this may be largely due 10 the excite.
ment and worry Of American business
life, " Is more often the result OF weak
stomachs. Of poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease Is incurab bic
but not one case In a hundred OF heart
trouble IL organic.
The close relation between heart trou.
bic and poor digestion Is because both
organs are controlled by branches OF
the same great nerves. the sympathetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way. also. the heart Is az
fected by that form Of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation from
half dlgested food: there is a feeling OF
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs interfer-
Ing with their action: hence arises pal
pitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also polsons the blood
makes II thin and wltery. which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation Of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals. OF some safe. pleasant
and effective digestive preparation. like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drug stores. and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant. convenient form.
II is safe 10 say that the regular, per-
slstent use Of stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer OF the
stomach.
