MR.. LAUTERBACH'S BUGABOO.

No one can put forth ineffable nonsense tick
eted as serious argument with more assurance
than Mr.. Edward Lauterbach. His readiness
10 presume on the credulity or the ignorance
Of his hearers when he has case to present
N them Is phenomenal. When he wants to
nut a third and fourth track on Amsterdam
ave. for his electric cars he does not hesitate
mn instant TO assure the public that his object
,s 70 save life. that the slow-moving and clum-
silv handled horsecars are a menace TO SAFETY.
and that four lines Of flying power-cars are oil
that is needed to rid the avenue of the old
danger which II has afflicted him sorely to see
tho neople face II he had wanted horsecars
he would have assured them with equal facil-
ity that only by horsecars could their liberty
no nreseryed So accustomed are we to Mr.
Lauterbach's little fallacies and assumptions
that we should not consider one Of his argu-
ments genuine without them, so when we find
him talking about the Ford bill we are quite
prepared for m exhibition OF his favorlte tao
tlcs though we must admit that we did not
think he would employ them to such an ex-
tent. He says:
To exact not only the regular taxes upon the
property. but TO superadd heavy one for the
bare assent Of the State to the Investment OF
capital brains and labor. is assuredly propo-
sitiOn to make any set OF men stop anu coh-
slider.
Now, Mr.. Lauterbach Is lawyer. and sue
cessful one. Great corporations do not employ
counsel so ignorant Of the alphabet OF law as
Mr. Lauterbach would have to be II that SEN
tence expressed his real mind. He knows what
the Ford bill means better than that. 1t was not
passed without attracting his notice He has
read IT, and he knows well as he knows
that two and two make four that the bill does
not In the least tax the assent Of the State to
the investment of capital" When he says 1t
does he is trying TO confuse the public mind
by confoundlng two totally different uses Of
the word franchise. There are two kinds Of
franchise One is that permitting the organiza-
ton OF a corporation and comforting upon 1t
certain privileges not possessed by an iDdi-
yidual such, for instance as the right 10 pur-
chase lands by condemnation proceedings.
That NAV be indicated by Mr.. Lauterbachs
phrase. the assent Of the State TO the invest
ment of capital" The other sort OF franchise
is the grant to corporation OF actual public
property. such as the use Of a street for car
track That grant Is an easement; 1t gives the
corporation real thing Of value. II Is abso-
lutte property that can be bought and sold. and
exists independent Of the corporation, and
might be hsid By private person without any

WHEN DEWEY COMES SAILING HOME.

The naval administration has ordered Rear
Admiral Watson to report TO Admiral Dewey
at Manila. to relievethe latter Of his command
at such time as the Admlral's own discretion
shall dictate as fitting. The announcement Is
doubtless welcome to the officer thus detailed,
who may find in such service some consolation
for not having had an opportunity to fulhl the
scheme OF descent upon the coast Of Spain.
1t will assuredly prove welcome to the people
of the United States. who covet the privilege
OF seeing their great Admiral face to face, and
who are socitous that his health shall not be
too greatly taxed by prolonged labors in a try
ing climate. He has done enough, they think,
to entitle him to exchange Manila Bay for the
banks Of the Potomac, and the "long wash of
Australasian seas for the Green Mountains of
his native State.
There Will be great time when Dewey
comes sailing home We shall not be surprised
II the entrance Of his ship into the harbor of
New-York is marked with more noise than was
It's entrance into the harbor Of Manila though
the echoes Of the latter occasion were heard
with admirable distinctness in all parts Of the
known world. We shall be greatly surprised
II the Admiral does not remain as calm and
modest and self-possessed and tactful amid the
plaudlts OF seventy seven million people as he
was when he quietly remarked to Captain Grid
ley TINT he might begin action whenever he
pleased. There is little fear OF postprandial
indiscretions on his part, or OF demands for
hat OF extra size Noise will not rattle
him, nor lattery seducc. SO far as such mat.
tiers are concerned we may await his coming
with complete confidence
| As for those who are to welcome hIm-wel

nate callers crowd to seek his favor The guests
seemed to know that his object was freedom
from exertion. and this they accorded to him.
He spent most Of the day In the apartments set
aside for his party. or on the wide porches upon
which his windows opened. In the course OF the
morning he once strolled through the corridors
TO the hotel office.
After nap and luncheon he enjoyed a social
chat with Secretary Gage. Senator Fairbanks.

short sack coat and derby hat, the only change
from his daily dress, the President started for
a. walk with Secretary Gage on his right and
Senator Fairbanks on the left.
AS they went along the Presidents brisk gait
and strong stride Jovial disposition and upright
shoulders gave unimpeachable denial TO state
ments that his health is impaired. beyond the
necessity for a brief respite from the cares Of
Presidential life The three climbed steep In
cline. and then started across the wel-kept lawn
to the rolling ground upon which the golf links
are situated.
As they walked they passed bright-faced
"caddie" who. without knowledge OF whom he
was addressing. stopped directly before the
President and said Say. mister, can you GIN
me de toime?" The President drew his watch
and in a cheerful and kindly way replied: Just
4 o'clock, my boy
The walk lasted about half hour, and the
exercise in the nvgorating air was beneficial.
The President enjoyed the walk thoroughly. and
said to his companions that he felt much better
for II.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley, Secretary
and Mrs Gage and Senator Fairbanks dined to-
night in the Presidents dning-room. The
APARTMENTS are arranged that they can be
thoroughly cut off from the rest OF the hotel.
They are fitted with everything for comfort and
the view from them is Of fine mountain scenery
beyond the beautiful grounds.
The Presidential party arrived at o'clock
this morning in II special train over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road. Assistant Secretary Cor
telyou DIR. and Mrs. Rixty and Stenographer
Barnes were those who accompanied President
and Mrs Mckinley. The latter rested all day.
