SUGGESTIONS FOR REFORM.

The almost fatal illness of Mrs. Mckinley
absorbed public attention for a few days
TO such an extent that the death of the
wife of Secretary Gage caused less public
comment than it would have done under
other circumstances If current reports
are true, both events were traceable 20 Gus
toms which would be more honored in the
breach than they are in the observance. 1t
has been stated on seemingly good author
ity that the illness of Mrs. Gage which
caused her death dated from her exposure
on Inauguration day and that very pain
full feature of Mrs. McKinley's sickness,
bone felon on her right hand was caused
by the viselike grip of a robust Texan who
succeeded in getting a handshake from her.
Neither statement has been denied and both
are probably true. Inauguration day. with
the inevitable exposure incident TO an open
air ceremonial in Washington on the 4th of
March. has brought sickness to hundreds of
not a few. while the handshaking custom
has caused excruciating pain to more than
one President. President William Henry
Harrison died twenty-three days after his
inauguration from a collapse brought on. IL

Other public men besides Presidents have
suffered terribly from the experience OF
shaking hands day after day with hundreds
of persons. many of whom try 10 express
the ardor OF their political enthusiasm by
the bone-crushing character of their grip.
All this suggests two reforms. Inaugural

handshaking should be reduced TO a mini
mum by men and done away with alto

MATTER TO CAUSE PRIDE.
Lord Roberts's Report the South
Bend Army Wagon.

South Bend Ond) Times
The highly favorable mention of the
Studebaker wagon in Lord Roberts's Off
ciai report of the progress of the in
South Africa is of special interest to South
Bend and of general Importance to the peo-
pie of the United States. 1t is a high COM
pliment to the capability of one of South
Bends world-famed manufacturing COM
panies. and speaks volumes for it's energy
and ability to meet great requirements.
When the commander of the British army
felt the need of a certain class OF wagons
for use in South Africa, trusted and ca
pable officers were sent to the countries
where the manufacture of vehicles of every
description had made the greatest progress.
This, as a matter of course, included the
United States. and notably South Bend.
The officer who came here made a thor
ough investigation of the manner in which
wagons are constructed at the great Stude
baker works. He was delighted with what
he saw. important points involved were
strength and durability, coupled with
methods of filling orders speedily and
promptly. The extraordinary facilities OF
the Studebakers, abundance of seasoned
lumber and other material entering into
the construction of army wagons, contrib
uted greatly TO the placing of large orders
with this company. 1t is gratifying to
learn from Lord Roberts's official report
that the Studebaker wagons gave unbound
ed satisfaction and elected especial men,
ton. With commendable fairness and inn
Partially the leading papers of London
gave full publicity TO this part of Lord
RObertss official report, even though it
pointed 10 the superiority OF an American
over British product. AS matter of inn
portant news this report was transmitted
to the American press by cablegram,
through the usual channels, but, strange
to relate the reference made by Lord Rob
erts to the Studebaker wagons was elimi-
mated from the dispatches as published in
nearly all the metropolitan papers of this
country. Whether this was done under the
rigid rules prevailing in these metropolitan
newspaper establishments not TO give men
tion to any manufacture that would de-
rive pecuniary benefit from such publicity.
or whether the omission was due TO a ten
der regard for the interests of rival insti
tons, only those can determine who are
near the metropolitan newspaper throne.
It would seem. however. that common fair
ness should have suggested an opposite
course Every American newspaper surely
ought 10 find satisfaction and some degree
OF pride in the fact that the general in
command of the British armies made spe-
cial mention in his official report of the ex-
cellence Of an important product of Ameri-
can manufacture. If British papers could
do this ii ought to have been an easy mat
ter for American papers 10 have done like
wise.

one of the features of the market yes
terday was the manifest efforts of one OF
the bull leaders TO obtain stocks at the
lowest possible figures. Every time Dig
selling order came on the market his
brokers were on hand 10 make lov price.
and on every decline his nets were spread
out to catch the shower OF certificates.
This operator has intimate relations with
the most important persons in the railroad
and financial field and exceptional facln-
ties for knowing what is going OF behind
the scenes For three days he has been
accommodating stocks, and has as large

had when Mckinley was elected
On that line he is understood 10 nave

He is evidently laying plans TO lead In
the next great movement, as he dio In the
last.
The efforts of one of the great stock
houses to work into safe harborage were
somewhat impeded by the belated dis
covery that one of the partners had los
81 100000 in bucking the Northern PACING
corner. The house weathered the storm
all right and came out with flying colors,
but that lost N,0OO,OOO was very oauly
needed for time
The stereotyped reply of welchers 10

and exhausted margin limits on open
accounts carried through the panic Is.
why didn't you sell me out when You
saw my trades going against me? Why
did you let my deals go 10 "A loss! why
didn't you protect yourself as you ought

To this statement the sorrowful broker
has only reply to make. and that is
10 close out the account and take the
loss The welcher who shows his colors
in this fashion is hopeless. He brands
himself as a welcher sure enough, and
will fight the collection of any claim
which may be made against him. There
are many such in Wall street these sore
and saddening days.

Treatment of Children i'm China

Alice II. Rich. in Leslie's Weekly
A babe is washed on the third day after
birth. usually with hot water. A newborn
babe is sometimes rubbed over with raw
eggs, and not bathed until three months
old. a woman forty-seven years old stated
that she had not been washed since she was
a baby. ON the thrtieth day the heads are
shaved. This. with the wealthy, is a time
of elaborate ceremonies and feastings.
while the poorer class copy as far as their
means will allow. For a boy there is
birthday feast every ten years. To protect
the child from evil spirits baby is some
times clothed like priest and decked out

PORTO RICAN CHILLINESS.
United States Authorities Do Not I'm
derstand II.

Washington Letter in New York Post
An officer Of the federal government re-
Gently returned from Porto Rico pronounces
the politico-social problem OF assimilation
presented in that island as difficult as any
we have yet encountered since the OF
expansion began. Some things TO which
neither the official reports nor the news
paper accounts devote particular attention
Impressed him, as they have other persons
connected with the new insular administra-
ton. very deeply. The riotous demonstra-
tions which have once or twice startled the
readers of news dispatches from Porto Rico
appear TO have been only a vulgar outcrop-
ping of a spirit which finds more refined
modes of expression in the higher social
levels. The United States authorities. from
the outset. have done everything in their
power to cultivate pleasant terms with the
leading Porto Ricans These have been
scrupulously invited to all the functions at
the governors palace and assured Of a
cordial welcome at the private entertain
ments given by members Of the govern
ment, but they have either failed 10 re-
spond. or. If morally compelled 10 accept
the invitations, have done so grudgingly
and evinced no disposition 10 return the
civilities. Such thing the hospitality
exchanged between persons in official life
and the more prominent citizens In one OF
our domestic capitals IL therefore quite un-
known In San Juan. and the United States
officers are bewildered by the cold atmos-
phere surrounding them where they had ex-
pected TO find so different a feeling. They
Go not know how 10 account for this condi-
ton Of things, or what they can do TO thaw
the frost Some OF the treatment which has
greeted their advances has been such as
they would resent sharply IN their own
country.
This discouraging report. coming from one
who is not only friendly TO the Porto Ricans
and thoroughly interested in the work our
government Is trying 10 do among them,
but anxious 10 put the best possible face
upon the situation. adds point 10 the sug-
gestion made by a cynic the other day for
a device for the new seal OF Porto Rico. He
proposed the figure OF General Miles dts
tributing an armful OF American flags 10
the Porto Rican populace. who surround.
him with arms outstretched but faces
averted.
