the American publie's unreasoning and narrow
view. Az a people we have q true and deep re-
spect both for the Presidency and for the man
who wieds Its august and far reaching powers
and no false sentiment will deter us from aba'l-
doning a custom which has no real root In our
political ideals OF our political necessities. 1t is
In the degrading iden, fostered by demagog'o
politicians that the President is only THE hired
man" Of the people TINT the practice OF mis-
ceIlaneous handshaking finds it's chief support
To the upholders OF the Hired Man theory 1t
seems only natural, Of course. that any citl2eh
however disreputable or dangerous, should
claim the right to take the hand OF the Pfesl-
dent. and to enjoy thereafter delights of an ap-
peased and triumphant curiosity, comparable
only TO those of the man ho shook the hand
that shook the hand OF Sullivan"
But to the American people as a whole such n
view of the Presidents. personal dignity ana
personal obligations Is as unworthy as 1t Is Of
fengive and we believe they will gladly join IN
abrogating custom not only cheapening to the
Presidents official character. but involving
fatigues. dscomforts and the ever present peril
of sudden death.

DISTINGUISHES.

II Is not surprising that Controller Coer should
| have friends who would like to force his nem'-
nation for Mayor 1t is even conceivable thai
| supporters who have no expectation or deslre
| of securing for him place on the Cithens
Union ticket should still push his interests IN
| that organization in the hope of commenting
/, him to Tanmany as a popular candidate VINO
might possibly draw off q certain contingent
from the anti-Tammany combination. Al 10
somewhat surprising however, to see e0nveh-
ton composed of men whose cardinal principles
are supposed to be unylelding opposition to
Tammany and unselish devotion to union with
all other anti-Tammany bodies voting to place
Mr. Coler once more on the Citizens Union list
of candidates.
No friend Of Mr.. Coler can be under any
deluson about his relation to Tanimany and his
impossibility as an antTammany candidate.
He himself has taken back all the hard things
he ever said about Mr.. Croker and CONNER
cialism in politics." declared that 1t was al q
Joke and taken pains to ingratlate hhsei
with the corrupt organization which the Clti-
zens Union exists to help overthrow. 1t needs
no argument to show that a man who is friendly
enough with Tammany TO be considered FOR 1ts
nomination cannot be the proper candidate or
those who see n moral lapse in friendship for
Tammany But even if Mr.. Coler were not
ruled out by his readiness to be saint or devil,
as his selfish interests might require. nobody
sincerely devoted to ant-rammany union woulh
be excusable for trying to force him upon the
ant-Tammany ticket. The duty of all Citizens
Union men is to seek a candidate acceptable to
the various bodies not to urge any one, no
matter how good who cannot hope TO com
mand united support. 1t is perfectly clear that
Mr. Coler could not be agreed upon by all the
bodies in conference. and any attempt to STAN
pede a Citizens Union convention for him would
be a step toward breaking the combination.
Long ago the Republican organization leaders
announced that they would not support Mr
Coler They were as much justified in saying
that they could not throw their forces for him
as other organizations have been in saying
they could not overcome their objections to an
organization Republican. The Republicans have
stood ready to support anybody else. have not
sought to control the choice, and events have
shown that their objections to Mr.. Coler were
well founded Well or i'll founded, no successful
anti-Tammany campaign can be headed by
man who is distrusted by the partner in the
union who is expected to cast the majority OF
the anti-Tammany vote: and probably the Citi-
zens Union leaders of Brooklyn instead of try
ing to dragoon the conference committee into
accepting Mr.. Coler, will look to the member
ship of their organization lest there creep into
IL enemies in disguise who in the name OF
by urging an impossible candidate to have him
in turn taken up by Tammany with the prestige
Of disguised reformers' approval.

Whether or not this loss of attraction for a host

Perhaps the ranks will be sufficiently recruited

a far better chance to become proficient than
their elders to restore and maintain the pros

but we have no doubt that the managers OF golf
clubs and the owners Of country hotels who
have recently deemed golf course to be an
Indispensable condition Of profitable patronage

GOLF-IN GENERAL AND IN PARTICULAR

The contest now in progress on the links Of
the Atlantic City Country Club for the amateur
golf championship shows striking improve
ment In the quality Of the game played by It's
best opponents In this country In the qualify
ing round on Monday the limit of eligibility
proved to be 175 for the 80 holes, or an average
OF 4S6 strokes to the hole Last year at Gar
den City the limit was 1877. and the course there
with the championship distances, is considered
TO be only four strokes harder, though we should
say that the difference had been slightly under
estimated. But in any case there is no doubt
that decidedly better golf was required TO quail
ify this year, and the results at match play thus
far furnish additional testimony to the increas-
ing proficiency of American experts UndOubt-
edly both the professional and amateur players
of the highest classes ia this country are still
somewhat inferior to those Of England and
Scotland but 1t is probable that this disparity
IS destined to disappear within n few years, not
withstanding the fact that the game is still
almost in it's infancy here.
The annual tournament shows also that the
number of fairly proficient players is growing.
for the number of entries Unprecedented.
1t does not show, however, that general interest
in golf is increasing In the United States. though
possibly there may be nothing In the record of
attendance to indicate the contrary. Neverthe-
less, we suppose it to be true beyond question
that general interest has declined within two
years. A multitude OF persons of both sexes
who took up the game have, for the time being

AFTER ONE YEAR IN CHINA.

The Chinese protocol is signed. Let that
momentous fact not be overlooked amid the
storm and stress and mingled anxiety and hope
of news from Buffalo. After year of fighting,
slaughtering. looting and wrangling the proto-
col is signed The united authority ana wis
dom of the powers have compelled China 10
set her affairs in order and to comply with the
requirements OF civilization and progress And
to what effect?
Well an indemnity is exacted from China, 10
be most ineqntably distributed among the
powers, so that some which suffered most and
spent most will get least. and some which sur
fered least and spent least Will get most. In
the process of raising the indemnity additional
burdens will be laid upon the Chinese people,
and there is danger that the foreign trade of
the empire will be unfavorably affected 1t
does not appear that such circumstances will
cause the Chinese people TO regard with added
favor the foreign devils whom they will hold
responsible for them.
Then China will abolish the rice tribute
which is said to have been corruptly admin
isterel as many other things are In China and
elsewhere but which has not hitherto been
recognized as the greatest obstacle to the open
ing and civilization of that empire. She will
also change her system OF civil service eXamf-
nations, that competitors Will answer more
or less practical questions instead Of writing
ESSAYS on academic themes, which Will doubt
less be good thing though It's Importance 10
the relations between China and the other
powers is not obvious. Finally. China win
abolish the Tsung Yamen, or at least trans
fer its functions Foreign Office 10 three COM
missioners, who will not be chosen because of
ability or expert knowledge. but by favor or
on "any old ground" with the probable result
that the commissioners will be a good deal less
capable and good deal harder to do business
with than the Tsung-li-Yamen
And-really, we cannot recall anything else Of
Importance that has been gained, excepting of
course the loot Of real estate by Russia and Of
personal property by Russia and various other
powers. But that is another story. not told in
the protocol SO far the latter is concerned
and so far as the whole Chinese question is con
cerned there is something more than grave
suspicious that the world is, after ALL not much
better off for the protocol and that ii would be
several hundred per cent better off if the Treaty
OF Smonoseki had been permitted to stand, or if
a year ago Japan had been made the manda-
tory of the powers to go In and settle the Chi
nese business single handed. But then in such
case there would have been no loot.
New-York tribune., 1901-09-12

The action of the British Crown in appointing
a commission OF experts of the highest class to
investigate thoroughly Professor Koch's theory
concerning the transmission of tuberculosis will
probably be followed by results Of much impor-
tance and value not only to the medical profes-
sion but humanity in general. When these
experts submit their conclusions after diligent
research their findings will be widely accepted.
So impatient is the eagerness to have the Koch
theory established confuted. the truth
may require, that the members of the commits
sion have been requested TO push their work
with all possible energy.

THE CATTLE From THE HILLS.

In the drought Of the dry summer weather.
When the moss is wool-warm on the
stone,
When thistiedown, light as feather,
Over by-path and bowider is blown
Its life from the fOuntain-head bringing
And sweet with the breath Of the rills.
To the troughs how the water runs sing
ing,
When the cattle come down from the
hills!
In the treetops asleep are the xephyrs.
In the skies are the streamers Of hope
When the yearlings. the steers and the
heifers,
Like picture illumine the slope.
On the bough, like sunbeam alighting,
The yellowbird-oh. how he trills,
Himself and his audience delighting.
When the cattle come down from the
hills.
The brindled. the brown, and the brigh.
The speckled ones. beef to the bone.
The duns. and the young black and white
ones.
The cherry, the red and the roam.
Make us think of the herd well attended .
When Jacob set store by his jills-
Oh, tell ye, It's something quite splendid.
When the cattle come down from the
hills.
The doves on the hen house are cooling.
The vine leaps yard up the wall.
Little Beauty is Rover pursuing,
The stallion neighs loud In his stall:
Higher seems the milk house by story,
And, giving new strength to our Wills.
The red barn takes on a new glory,
When the cattle come down from the
hills.
In the yard all the folk are assembled,
Little Esther is whispering to me.
And the bantling that never yet trembled
Is laughing and Growing with glee.
The stones and the rocks without number
Feel something within them that thrills:
Even Church hill awakes from his slumber.
When the cattle come down from the
hills.
Is 1t rest, is II wonder or Is 1t
Some longing We cannot quite name.
Makes the farm so we'll worth visit
When the summers tanned cheeks arc
alame?
Be this as II may. the great Mother
Life's cup with delight overfills,
And sets us to pledging each other.
When the cattle come down from the
hills.
