We talk about religion and science and
books and all that sort of thing. but as for
politics. well. it's mighty warm weather to
enter into that neyer-ending topic.
This is In the coIonel's old vein. To be
sure, they might have discussed science,
and particularly that problem about the
survival of the fittest. Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Cleveland long were rivals, and the latter
had the best of it But, twice elected Pres
ident, he retired from office with his party
sadly divided. and himself an object of
hatred on the part of many of his former
supporters Glad as he would be to try his
fortunes again, he has yet no following
and he is on the shelf for good.
Mr.. Hill survives. He has had his share
of misfortune. and has aroused at times
some anger. The Bryanites bitterly as
sailed him for his course in 1896. But, upon
the whole. he is the ablest and the strong
est democrat in the country today outside
of Bryanite circles; and if the party should
break away from the Bryante influence
and make a bid for support on lines of
conservative policy it will be likely to pay
more than formal attention to the sugges-
ton of Mr., Hills name in connection with
the new leadership
1t is safe assumption that Colonel La
mont would support him. And If Colonel
Lamont, why not the other survivors of
the old Cleveland coterie? With Mr. Cleve-
land out of the running. and old personali
ties duiled or dead. why should not the
Cleveland contingent support a democrat
who favOrs sound money, and a conserva-
tive national policy on questions in gem
eral? This support will not of course help
Mr.. Hill with the Organizes. But probably
nothing could help him there. No demo-
cratic leader has done much, first to
keep the party out of the slough of popu-
ism. and then to lift 1t out after it fell in,
as this New York leader. While Mr. Bryan
prevails Mr.. Hill is impossible But with
Mr.. Bryan dethroned, who would be so
strong?

Lord RnseherN's Letter.

Lord Rosebery'S advice TO the English
liberals is too good To produce immediate
results. 1t is wise to the point Of often
siveness- A party which puts itself in the
way of 50 singing a rebuke may not rea-
sonably be expected to pull itself together
in a jiffy and give the best account of
itself. But. in the end, the iaiiverance will
tell 1t is full of what in America We call
horse sense, and 1t cannot fail to
Strengthen such do stand" and to help
in raising up such as have fallen. In a
word. this former leader of the liberal
party points out the only way by which
the party may nope to justify its existence
and serve the empire.
The Boer war is over. The pacifCation
of South Africa is slow. but it is proceed
ing In time it will be completed though
the full bill when rendered will be large.
Whether the Beers or the British were
most at fault at the beginning is now
question for the essayist and the historian.
The British statesman of the day must
concern himself with the condition of his
country. and act SO as 10 advance his
country's interests. The British empire. as
the result of this war, is charged with in
creased responsibilities. and must beStir
itself TO meet them. Its rivals everywhere
alert, and two Of them at least are
SOwerfuI and resourceful in the field of
trade. So that. instead of spending their
time trying the old case of Kruger versus
Chamberlain, which virtually is no longer
on the docket. the members of the liberal
party should address themselves To British
interests as British interests are now af-
fected. In a word. the liberal party must
become wholly British party if it Is TO
meet the ends of power, or even of vigor-
Gus opposition
Changing conditions slightly and a word
here and there this advice of Lord Rose
berry has application here in the United
States. The democratic party stands d.
vided and pOwerieSs for much the same
reason that the liberal party In England
does. The question with us now is not
whether the war with Spain might have
been avoided, whether 1t was wise for
the President to instruct the Paris peace
commissioners to take on the Philippine
Islands. All of that is history and the
historian Will deal with it. What is to be
dealt with as practical political question
is the fact that the war was fought and
the Philippine archipelago is now Amer
lean territory. What says the democratic
party as to how the archipelago should be
governed. and how the affairs of the whole
United States should be shaped in the light
of our new responsibilities?
Great Britain would benefit by a reunited
liberal party as the United States would
by a reunited democratic party. But in
the one case as in the other reunion upon
any other than a genuinely patriotic basis
Is neither to be expected nor desired.

Colonel Lamont continues to be some
thing of a humorist In the old Cleveland
days he was the medium Of communIca-
tiOn between the President and the demo-
cratic leaders of New York and whenever
he appeared in that town on a political err
rand for his chief he always explained to
the newspaper reporters that he was sim
ply shopping Those shopping expeditions
afforded the text for a good many bright
paragraphs.
Since his retirement from politics Colonel
Lamont has greatly prospered financially,
and among his establishments is a country
place near Poughkeepsie. Here on several
occasions lately he has entertained David
b. Hill. and the report has gone. abroad
that the subject of discussion between them
was Mr. HIS presidential ambition Asked
as TO this, Colonel Lamont replied:
mfr. Hill Is always welcome at my home
He is most delightful talker 1 rather
think he likes to visit his friends, and | for
one like to have him drop in and see me

Perjury,

The president of the Iowa State Bar AS
ISOLATION declares that perjury prevails in
the courts of this land to an alarming ex-
tent. and suggests certain remedies for the
evil. He has investigated the matter by
corresponding with judges and other au-
thOrities. and has come to the conclusion
that the average witness has no regard for
the oath. and is willing. for the sake of
advantage to the side for which he gives
his testimony. to forswear himself There
is reason to follow the Iowa lawyers con-
clusiOns to a certain extent. 1t Is unde-
niable that the oath Is administered in
most courts in a perfunctory manner
Often numbers Of witnesses are sworn to-
gether without the least suggestion of a
direc, personal accountability. The words
of the oath are mumbled by the clerk of
the court and the ceremony is robbed of
whatever solemnity and significance it may
have had in earlier days. Whether this is
the prime cause of the decadence in the
morality OF witnesses or not must be left
10 the Judgment of individual investigators.
Example spreads baleful influence
throughout a community. especially the
lower classes Cases frequently heard
in courts in which witnesses palpably tes-
tify falsely and later boast to neighbors
and associates of their effrontery. If they
remain immune from molestation a belief
spreads that the giving OF false witness in
court Is not much of a crime. 1t seems
assuredIy safe and it is an easy step for
the ordinarily conscientious person TO yield
to the temptation to swerye from the line
of truth toward the side of self-interest or
prejudice when next he Is called upon in
court To give evidence. Great care Is taken
In court u ascertain whether a youthful
witness understands the nature of
oath" The little one Is assailed with Ques-
tions supposed to test his conception OF
moral responsibility and is accepted or
jected according to his ability satisfac-
tOrily 10 answer them The adult how
ever, Is regarded uniformly as competent
To testify accurately. whereas in very
many cases the y0ungster is far more re-
liable than his elder a witness, even
though ignorant of the meaning Of the
press the significance Of the oath upon
the minds OF ignorant adults and TO ex-
plain 10 the obviously vicious the penalty
which attaches TO the crime of perjury,
some progress might be made against this
depIorabie tendency cited by the Iowa law
Yer. His further suggestion, that courts
become more enterprising in prosecuting
false testimony has plainly been given, Is
worthy of serious consideration. An occa-
sional conviction on such charge would
help every community to maintain a rea-
sonable standard OF veracity under oath.

From the New York Tribune.

terday concerning the Pan-Americau con-
gress was particularly timely and crafty
ing, 1t confirmed and indicated in the
most direct manner, and upon official au-
thority. the contention which the Tribune
has hitherto made that the United States
government has not made of itself a mere
tag to the Chilean kite by adopting the
extreme Chilean view concerning arbitra-
ton, but has stood firmly for the original
tentative program. which simply provides
for the consideration of arbitration, leav-
ing the detailed scope to be determined by
the congress Itself. 1t should be quite OBJ
viOus that this is the right and reasona-
BILE course TO pursue. The congress must
be free. 1t would be a mockery Of DELHI
Grafton to summon it to meet with gags
in the mouths of its members. Nor should
We like to think there is a single nation
In the western hemisphere that Is afraid
or unwilling to enter a congress in which
freedom Of speech and of discussion Is to
prevail. At present. despite various sensa-
tionai rumors, there seems to be no valid
reason for thinking that any South Amer
lean country will absent itself from the
congress on that or any other ground To
co so would obviously be to lay itself open
to the grave suspicion that it's cause was
so bad that it did not dare to lay it be-
fore jury of its peers.

The more highly specialized commercial
and industrial enterprises become the
heavier Is the responsibility which rests
upon the leaders of labor in the matter of
ordering strikes and upon employers in re-
fusfng the requests of workmen which pre-
cede a strike. 1t Is today practically i'm
possible to call off the workingmen in any
single branch of labor without seriously
affecting those in another branch, who have
no ground of complaint and no desire to
cease work. This is aptly Illustrated in
the disturbance in the PENNSYLVANIA an
thracite coal region. where a few hundred
stationary hremen have struck and have
thereby forced the stoppage of work by
thousands of miners. Regardless of how
the latter look upon the employment of
non-union men to succeed the striking fire
men. some loss of wages must be suffered
BY them, for even though they willing
to work with non-union men firing the
boilers of the pumping engines, they are
subject to delays and to a partial cessa-
ton of the plant and possibly to a strike
order issued without reference to their de-
sires. For it is only short step to a SYM
pathetic strike by all hands. although the
miners in this region have recently secured
the conditions demanded of the operators.
In the steel strike, too. the calling out Of
thirty thousand workers necessarily leads
to a shrinkage of the output of the steel,
iron and tin mills involved. and this in
turn affects many lines of trade and indus
try. Any considerable extension Of the
strike throughout the steel business would
diminish the market supply of structural
steel and would check the building enter
prises upon which many thousands of
workers depend for employment total
cessation of the structural steel mills for
three months would cause the most serious
suffering among hundreds of thousands of
people. The stoppage of the tin mills like
wise holds up other lines of industry. The
steel hoop supply has a direct bearing upon
all the cooperage plants in the country, in
turn affecting such industries as the dis
tUleries and breweries, the oil producers
the vinegar manufacturers, etc
In fact. it is difficult in these days Of
labor which can be checked without put
ting In motion a series of unfortunate in
ffuences. This condition Is characteristic
of the period and may in time exert an uI-
timately wholesome effect upon the labor
problem. 1t should cause the responsible
leaders on both sides to restrain the ten
denotes which now precipftate strikes. It
should make the heads of the labor organ
izations count the full cost of a walk-out
before the issues are positively cast and
the employers reckon their accountability
70 the general interests of trade before re-
jecting reasonable compromises.

the third phase of the mosquito theory,
similar to that which marked the course
of the germ theory. This Is the loose appii-
cation of the idea regardless of reason or
research. Just as once the explanation of
bacili was advanced In every emergency
and to explain every mystery Of sanitation,
now the mosquito Is being cited as the
means of transmitting diseases which have
absolutely no such source Of communica-
ton, as far as either rational theory or
experiment at present goes to show. The
latest unsupported Indictment against the
mosquito is that 1t carries smallpox. 1t
may be expected that before the mosquito
theory has run it's course and finally found
solid ground of proof and disproof, practi-
cafly every known germ disease will have
been charged against this insect. OF
course positive proof of the accountability
Of the mosquito in any instance is to be
welcomed. for then science will at least
have the satisfaction of knowing the Ere
else means Of contagion, and SO be pre-
pared to fight the disease systematically
The success already scored In Cuba and in
some parts of the American coast in the
mosquito warfare encourages the hope that
eventually the mosquito pest. itself seri-
Gus nuisance, will have been materially
abated, and with it a large percentage CT
the chance of disease transmission.

When the germ theory of disease was
first advanced, few decades ago, large
portion Of the scientific world and most
iaymen were skeptical. Demonstrations of
the truth of the theory converted both
classes. until there is today scarce a
doubter of the hypothesis that certain dis
eases are communicated by means of ba-
GILL. SO complete has been the victory of
the germ theorists that there has been even
a tendency to overdo the matter and to
ascribe conditions of both health and dis.
ease TO bacterial life which are probably
far removed from such causes Following
in the wake of this revolution in scientific
and popular thought came the theory that
mosquitoes were responsible for the trans
mission of malaria. 1t required several
seasons for this proposition to secure
serious hearing by the world at large, but
when once the hypothesis was proved by
the incubation OF the well with the dis
the mosquito. doubt broke down quickly
and the scientists. encouraged by this rapid
victory over skepticism. pushed their re-
searches further. 1t has since been proved
almost conclusively, through experiments
in Cuba last season. that a particular hind
of mosquito transmits yellow fever So
thoroughly satisfied are most people on this
point that there Is today in progress q
systematic campaign against the mosquito
by means of swamp drainage and the OIL
ing of still waters where the insef
ply. 1t may well be believed thats Few
more seasons anti-mosquito agencies will
have become established among the def
nitely accepted precautions against both
malaria and yellow fever. and that per-
haps through them the annual rate OF both
sickness and death from these causes HiIl
have been materially lowered. Now comes
