The Troubled Gar.

The Car of Russia has taken a step
toward the abolition of Siberia as a
penal colony, but whether even he, the
absolute, will be able to complete the
reform remnants to be seen. NomlnaHy
unmmlted as is his authority, c..eczar Is
seriously limited by Russian tradition.
His path is marked out for him and he
must walk therein, or be tactful
enough to walk elsewhere and make
the guardians of Russian tradition be-
Iieve he is treading in the path pre-
destined.
But 1t lis worthy of more than pass
ing note that, at the initiative OF the
czar, conference was held the other
day at st. Petersburg to consider the
feas- -Oility of abolishlng transportation
to Siberia as a penalty for crime. The
czar himself presided and directed a
commission, over which the Minister
of Justice, Muravieff, is to preside, to
investigate the question. There are
two things which may have moved the
czar to this acbion-bhe desire to re-
move from Siberia the curse of being
a penal colony and thus hasten its de-
velopment, or the desire to relieve the
austere punishment of men who vio-
late the law-to punish them, but to
punish them more humanely. To the
latter explanation one naturally leans.
because 1t corresponds more exactly
with the expressed desire OF the czar
for disarmament and peace among the
nations. But whether his concern be
for the territory or for human beings,
the good will come to both from the
consideration of either
While it is true that the czar is
much hampered by Russian traditions
which are despotic, there is no doubt
that he has much power for good.
Possessing all the good intentions
with which he is credited, he needs on
ly courage and tact and patience to
work out a wonderful reform, not only
in his own domain, but in every part
of the globe to which the Russian in
fiuence reaches. To wish that he
were uead and done with all of it, as
he is said to have on one occasion to
have wished, is to wish away an Op-
portunity which is given to few men.
The reputed struggle of the liberal
czar with his conservative advisers
ought to suggest to those who want
better things for Russia their duty to
give to him every support that it is
possible for them to give and to with
hold every criticism that may have a
discouraging effect.-Columbus Dis

could not trust his second in command,
and felt so worried about him as these re-
ports would indicate why did he not
remedy the difficulty in good time? These
are all questions which will be asked OF
Secretary Long now that he has entered
the arena, and he will have to answer them
in some way or other il he expects the
people to pay attention to his remarks.
The conclusion of the whole matter is
that if Schley, who, according to the testi-
mony of eye witnesses, personally directed
and participated in the fight off Santiago
Harbor, did not win that battle, and Samp-
son, at a distance of ten and three-tenths
miles, did win it, the patriotic and intel
ligent public would like to know how
the thing was done. If that magnificent
sea fight was directed by man with
character of untrustworthiness and cow
ardice, which he had up to that time sue
cessfully concealed from all but the eagle
eye of the promoted captain, Sampson,
the public would also like an explanation
of it. II Schley did not start for Key West
after coal, as he said he did, why did he
go? And if the reason of his behavior on
that occasion was insubordination or cow
ardice, it is most strange that nobody
knew it at the time. The American peo-
pie do not like to have matters decided by
grapevine telegraph. They want Sampson
investigated, and the more he can help
in this operation by investigating him
self, the better it will be. His explanations
of his own actions have thus far been more
effective than anything that Schley could

HELM the Poor.

The blizzard is over. but the results OF
il have not disappeared, and Will not Tor
some time TO come. There must inevitably
be suffering and distress for several weeks,
consequent upon such an overturning OF
business as We have had during the past
few days. 1t will not, therefore, be adyisa-
bic TO lose interest in the matter OF helping
those less fortunate than ourselves, and
contributions Of food, fuel, warm clothing,
and money for the necessaries Of life,
should stim be made to the various emer-
gency funds.
One OF the things which can be remedied
only by determined effort on the part
Of the public is the possible combination
of dealers in some necessary articles 10 put
up the price of their merchandise. GER
tain amount of advance in prices is inevi-
table There will be increased expense
for all the wholesale dealers, owing 10 the
difficulty of getting their goods into mar
ket: and this tax viii be borne in turn
by the retailers and the consumers. This
is only just. But any artificial cOmbina-
tion which may enable men 10 reap har-
vest out of their neighbors' necessities
should be defeated at once and effectively.
1t seems almost impossible that at such
q time as this anyone should take advan-
tsge of another's necessity for his own
personal gain, but such things have been
done. and only intelligent public opinion
can prevent them. II viii not do much
good 10 give a poor man a few dollars TO
feed and warm his household, if he has to
pay two or three prices for everything be
buys He cannot help himself if the deal
eT OF whom he buys asks an exorbtant
price for things which must be had
in order to support life; it is only the
rich and well-to-do whose protest against
such state of things does any good. Let
few public-spirited men of influence
stand out against any such combination.
and the trust is not likely to be very sue
cessful.
Another matter which should receive the
attention of the public is that of giving
employment to as many people as possi-
bic. Let us give work TO those who need
st, and pay a fair price, and there will not
be so much need of charity. Let nobody
attempt 10 dodge his share of the burden
which such an unusual visitation as this
must bring 10 the community. Nobody has
any right TO try TO economic at the ex-
pense of other people just now. We may
as well all resign ourselves to a certain
increase in our living expenses for a time.
and let that expense be met by giving up
one or two of our pet private luxuries.
rather than by refusing help to anybody
who needs ii. An emergency of this sort
is a little like flood or a famine or a pes
tilence-ordinary rules of business and
economy have TO be suspended for a time.
But if the rich will See 10 it that no food
or coal trust robs the public, and if the
great middle class will give employment
where they can, and money as they can
to those less fortunate than themselves
We shall have met the emergency with
credit TO ourselves and without a very large
increase in the destitute and helpless por-
tion of the community

The Long and short of sampson

Secretary Longs contribution TO the
Sampson -Schley discussion will be some
thing OF a surprise TO the country Ii is
safe TO say that the American people have
so thoroughly made up their minds on this
question that if they were walked up at
midnight and asked 10 say who destroyed
Ceryera's fleet there would be perfectly
unanimous reply that il was not Sampson.
The American people have never been ac-
customed to think that battles can be
fought by telegraph. Electricity can ac-
complish many wonders. but not that In
the palmiest days of pugilism it was never
contended that the most abnormal reach
possessed by champion could win fight
for him at the distance of ten miles and
a fraction. The general skepticism on the
subject of Simpsons extraordinary merits
will continue.
1t is possible, Of course, that Schley de-
liberately made a false statement in say
ing that he had to 90 TO Key West after
coal, and he might have been mere run
ming away from the harbor because he was
afraid, or for some occult reason of his
own; but there is not much more chance
Of il than there is of Ayers voluntary
resignation from the Cabinet Schley' IS
past record does not show that he is very
much addicted TO either fear or mysteries,
and it emphatically does not show him to
have been in the habit of lying. That he
first ran away from fight and then lied
about the reason is. therefore, a view OF
the case which will require considerable
confirmation to make the public accept
In fact, the national community will be
inclined TO ask, after reading Secretary
Longs arguments TO prove that Schley
was not the victor Of Santiago: IF he was
insubordinate, and unsteady, and a cow
ard, why was he allowed 10 remain in the
position of second in commando" Either
these charges should not be made at all,
or they should have been made, and sub
stantiated. and followed by due action, be-
fore the Santiago expedition reached a
critical stage. 1t is also rather strange
that on the particular morning when he
knew that Cerveras feet would be most
likely to come out OF the harbor, Admiral
Sampson should have taken the oppor-

Physical culture in the schools is branch
OF instruction not authorized by law. 1t is no
part of good common school education. 1t is
excrescence the school system. 1t does
the children good. All that the children
need is plenty of air and outdoor exercise. Let
them walk from their homes to the schools and
from the schools to their homes except in nclem-
ent weather. Let them avoid the mephitc air
of the crowded street cars. The muscles and the
nerves will be strengthened by inhaling plenty
of oxygen, by exercise. by walking, running and
leaping, by all juvenile sports. and by the cul-
ture which nature brings to her children. 'Pos-
ing" posturing and straining for graceful ef-
fects in the rooms of the schools do not con-
stitute the training which is best and necessary
for the immature muscular systems of children
not yet in their teens. Abolish the fad called
