EDITORIAL COMMENT

Galusha A. Grow made a speech in
the House yesterday on the Philippines
He was making speeches in the House
before many Of the Representatives who
listened to him yesterday were born.
He took his seat there on the first day
Of December, 1S51-a half-century ago.
Henry Clay still sat in the
Senate. Ten years later Mr.
Grow was elected speaker. He
is the only survivor, in public life,
of the House over which he presided

If the President has really made
long-tailed horses the fashion in Wash
ington. Senator Gallinger will probably
have no difficulty in getting his bill to
prevent the docking of horses tails
through with a rush. In the first place
every man somewhere in the remote
recesses of his heart or head has
a feeling that a horse locked is a
horse marred from the humane
standpoint. and this sentiment stands
ready TO be stirred and brought
TO the surface without doubt with
the heads of the government taking
the initiative in such a style. 1t is
always easier to follow a bright light
than a dim one, and the light in this
case happens TO be a very bright one,
with nothing of uncertainty in it's
movements.-Boston Transcript.

1t is now clear that smallpox is ex-
ceptionally virulent in many cities and
towns of the United States and Of other
countries. Air conditions, telluric con-
ditions, in fact conditions of every
sort appear to be unusually favorable
at this time for the multiplication of
cases of smallpox, of the plague and of
tetanus in many quarters of the globe.
Therefore the need for redoubled pre-
cautions, and especially of thorough
vaccination on the largest possible
scale, is most urgent.-New York Tri-

There is no reason to believe that the

commend Mayor O'Connell's admin
istration this year will fail to do the
same for Mayor Fletcher next year,

pendents in this city are the most sub
stantial and thoughtful citizens. Next
year Fletcher's plurality will be fully
5000 we believe.

GALLlNGER VS. ANARCHISTS

Another violent measure against an
archists has been introduced by Sena-
tor Gallinger Of New Hampshire. 1t
provides the death penalty for those
attacking the President and other per
sons in line of succession to the presi-
dency, ambassadors and foreign minis
ters. The same penalty is prescribed
for persons who shall incite others to
attempt to kill or assault these per-
sons.
The threat to kill calls for sentence
of thirty days. Belonging to a society
Of anarchists is made a crime It pro-
vides that any person advocating the
violent overthrow Of any or all law.
shall be imprisoned for a period Of ten
years under the provisions of this bill
This bill expresses our natural incli-
nation. Senator Gallinger evidently
will have the support Of lot of good
people, but the measure is not likely
to pass, because it opens up too many
possibilities Of persecution and political
injustice and might, in the end, tend to
foster the spirit of unrest and disorder
rather than to suppress it.

The shrinkage Of the no-license vote
may be due to the fact that new
licenses are not to be distributed this
year as they were last, and. conse-
quently, jealousy is less in evidence
The no-license campaign was appar-
emily less energetic. Early in the year
the liquor dealers expected a mo"
vote They would have been satisfied
to repeat the scanty margin. The yes"
majority is a compliment to the en-
forcement Of the law, but close vote
would tend to keep licensed dealers

aldermen Tom" McGauley who was
defeated is said to be the largest tax

is? It makes bitter feeling when none
is necessary. With six candidates the
result is bad enough. That allows two
Democratic wards to the Democrats
and gives the minority an extra man.

possible under the present charter.

"But Not Wholly"

Commenting upon the republican
state convention in Ohio, the esteemed
Kansas City Journal says:
'sIt is quite evident that Senator
Marcus A. Hanna has not lost his in
fluence with Ohio politicians. His VIC
tory at yesterdays state republican
convention was overwhelming and COM
plete. Ex-Governor Foster and other
leaders who sought to defeat his plans
were beaten at all points. This tri-
umph is due in measure to Mr.. Han
mas personal popularity and skillful
management, but not wholly"
In this analyzing the power of the
distinguished commercial politician of
Ohio the esteemed Journal is indeed
suggestive. Senator Hanna routed his
enemies and controlled the convention
with an iron hand. He nominated the
ticket, wrote the platform and presid-
ed over the conventions deliberations.
1t was an hour of triumph for Mr..
Hanua.
In explaining it the esteemed jour
nat refers exultingly to his personal
popularity and to his skillful manage
ment, to which, it declares, is attribu-
table "a measure" of his success.
The commercial politician who twice
nominated a candidate for president
and as often purchased his election is

a trick or two. He knows the value
of friendly committee on credentials.

The Kansas Democrats Rights.

The Democrats of Kansas have acted
wisely in refusing to go into further
fusion with discontented elements.
The trouble about the fusion busi-
ness is that while it rallies the Office
seekers, it fails to rally the voters.
Many a party, seeking recognition in
fusion, has no existence save in the
person of the few interested individuals
who stand ready to accept all the Off
ces in sight. Without constituency
they demand such recognition as should
only go to large bodies of voters. By
this we do not mean that the evils
which the people seek to have removed
should not be vigorously warred
against. It is the duty of the demo-
cratic party. to make itself al once the
agent of the popular will by standing
for all the rights of citizenship and by
adopting policies having for their aim
the advancement of the whole people.
The Democratic party can 80 represent
them that no room will be left for the
appearance of any other.
If the Democratic party of any given
state fails to so align itself as to at
tract the support of the independent
masses it has failed in its own work,
and instead of committing this task to
other sources, should set about the
work of amendment. Chairman Nc
Love, of the Kansas committee, is
right when he declares that s.we be-
lieve the democratic platform embodies
all the cardinal reform movements, and
feel that the populists of the state who
are earnest in wanting to see reform

Effectually Sized Up.

The most innocent man In the world
is the one who is anxious to be left
alone.
Thus we find the Manufacturers
Club, of Philadelphia, insisting upon
the necessity OF leaving the present
condition alone. "Do not let us, says
the club. " have any revival of politi-
cal agitation over the tariff" upon
which the New York World says:
Why certainly. With a SO per cent.
average duty-aboye the highest war
tariff-giving them a monopoly of the
home market, and with the cost of
manufacturing so reduced in many
products that they can undersell the
old world in Europe, Asia, Africa or
Australia-naturally the employers of
of Matthew S. Quay are against any
disturbance" OF their privileges.
When a duck ceases to swim and a
fox voluntarily abandons a chicken
diet the Philadelphia Manufacturers
Club may be expected to consent to a
reform of the tariff.
This same delectable club having
passed a number of whereases and res
olutions, sought by implication to COM
init the Southern Industrial Associa-
ton to the same course. This was
done by sending to the body very
harmless looking resolution, minus the
whereases, by which it was to be ex-
planned. When the convention ad-
journed the willy manufactures re-
placed the whereases and began to
announce, with a great flourish, that
the southern manufactures were with
them. This scheme was effectually
squelched by President Hemphill.

Whx Apes Cannot TnlIx.


The latest retouching of Darwin's
theory of the descent of man from
monkeys has been given by DR.. Mo
Namara In lecture before the Royal
College of Surgeons in London. He
said it had been proved that man and
the anthropoid ape were derived from
the same stock, but that the nerve
center which controlled mans faculty
of speech was absent in the ape, so
that the latter could not learn to
talk The anterior lobes of the apes
brain, containing the part controlling
speech, are defective. he said, because
the skull is ossified during the crea.

case that keeps the brain from ex-
panding. The skull of man does not
consolidate until adult age, and so the

ters can 20 on developing until the

starohed linen that he wore; the city

old enough to be smoking cigar with
all the appearance of habit. The
cigar, also, was not native of the

nevertheless the proprietor could
scarcely complain of him. The straU

for the stage, and had thanked ths
proprietor for his permission, relates
Owen Wister, in Everybody's Magas
2ine.
Then he had sought his quiet corner
and lighted his cigar.
A citizen walked out of the bach
room and up to the bar. He had left
faro game, and the proprietor was
friendly with him, but respectful; that
sort of respect which is favored deli
cately with Just enough familiarity
to bring it out. It is probable that the
citizen had had more drinks than the
one he now took. 1t is also likely that

What were the card players in the

They all lay fat on the floor, like the

they were, minding their own busi-
ness. For there was no rear exit.
The youth felt in his waistcoat

So he rose with still another fresh
cigar in his hand, and walked to the
bar.
"I'll have to ask you for a match"
he said to the proprietor, who ut once
