In Washington cremation permit cannot
be obtained until the application is coun-

to personally investigate each case. In the

and not until the medical examiner of the
district has certified to the propriety of the
proceedings. The writer of the article in
the Journal believes that closer attention
should be paid to this matter in all the
states. in view of the fact. shown by sta
tistics. that cremation is increasing at Il
marked rate throughout the country. In
all the years before 1889 there were only
$40 incinerations in the United States.
There were 80 in 1899, 3T2 in 1899. Al in
1891 561 in 1s.,2. ga in 1881, ST. in 1894.

with San Francisco second, st. Louis third,
Philadelphia fourth, followed in turn by
Boston, Cincinnati. Chicago, Buffalo, Los

1898 Il is noted that in the cities of high
est rank in this scale, except San Fran
cisco. Boston and Buffalo, there is practi-
caly no precaution provided by the law to
prevent hasty cremations. and. presumably.
the effective concealment of crime. In
view of the numerous cases of murderous
poisoning which the law has lately UNI
earthed. it is apparent that this becomes
subject of timely Importance for the leg
islators and the municipal authorities to
consider.

The Ohio Democratic Platform.

Choosing a strong man to head them
state ticket this year may be a difficult
task for the Ohio democrats, but writing
platform is likely to be even more difficult
The brethren are fully alive to the situa-
ton. MIR. Mclean has sounded the note
of warning in his Cincinnati newspaper,
and We shall probably hear more from him
on the same subject the preiimuaries
take shape.
The fear seems to be-and it Is probably
well founded-that the men who trunphed
in the municipal races in Cleveland. Toledo
and Columbus last month will present
themselves at the state convention and
endeavor to have the issues upon which
they We're then successful Incorporated into
the partys creed for the state. The John
ScniteS from Cleveland will want some
preston the question of public owner
ship of public Utilities and maybe an in
dorsement of the single tax idea while the
Jonesites from Toledo will probably urge
some nebntous sociaiistic aspiration but
tressed what their leader describes
the golden rule applied to politics.
Now. Mr. Mclean is openly against all
such issues. He regards them as ''fads
and folIeS.'' If cities here and there
choose to indorse them that is within their
worked out small scale. He thinks it
state issues of them. and so he voices his
opposition frankly and early. He is a hard
fighter. and his friends the platform
CON mittec at the state convention will
doubtless by his advice subject every prop
Osition submitted to an unusually thorough
examination. What Mr.. Mclean wants is
a platform which will appeal to 'old- fash
toned democrats, and not to the followers
OF Henry George and Eugene Debs.
Mr.. Mclean. Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Jones
armament differ In glory. so do they differ
in their views of public questions. Mr.
Johnson and Mr.. Jones appear in the role
of critics of the agencies through which
they themselves acquired wealth, and as
advocates of new business and political
dispensation. But they do not offer to
surrender what has come to them through
policies and opportunities which they now
condemn. Mr.. Mclean occupies no such
eccentric position. lie has no quarrel with
the bridge which has carried him
over. He has scheme for hurry
ing forward the millennium but Is con-
tent to see others prosper as he has pros
pered, and believes that there is much
good In the old order Yet Like most prac-
ticai men he can see difference between
reform and revolution; ard he probably
feels all the greater strength in holding the
proper course now after twice supporting
Mr. Bryan for President on platforms
which In the main were about as danger
Gus as is that proposed by the Johnson and
Jones people for the democrats of Ohio this
year.

John Doe is a person well known in the
law, a frequent offender apparently an in
corrigible criminal Just now he has spread
himself all over New York so promiscu-
ously that il would seem he is engaged in
committing crime simultaneously in yari-
Gus quarters of the metropolis. This ouni-
present wrongdCer is giving the reformers
of the big city pretty chase. Justice
jerome. of the city judicial staff, is at the
head OF persistent attempt to learn who
stands between the gamblers and the DO
lice to prevent molestation. 1t is clearly
evident that If it Were not for some secret
antagonistic forces the police would raid
the pool rooms and the faro banks and
forward the process of publication. 1t Is
important in order to convince the lethar-
gle citizen of the necessity to Dust Tam
many permanently from power, to identify
the middeman and so to trace the bride
money which is known to flow generously
from gamblers to officials. This mysteri-
Gus person has been named John Doe ac-
cording to the legal fiction, and in the
recent raids by the committee of fifteen in
New York there have been scores of war
rants for his arrest. The gamblers them
selves have been rounded UP promiscuously
and have refused to disclose any of the
secrets of the protection system. Safes
belonging to the gamblers have been
broken open and much evidence secured to
show that the funds of persuasion have
passed through certain defined channels.

the effect of the ransom by refusing to
accept the return of S2l 900 out of the

Such temper in a man of his means
