to practically all persons with any acQuain-
lance whatever with plants, the reverse Is
the case,, the poison vine having but three
leaves and the harmless creeper Ave. Pre-
sumably the fact was we'll known to the
writer in the Age-Herald, who evidently
suffered temporarily from that dread Attic
ton of some busy writers, heterophemy," by
which somewhat formidable term physicians
style the tendency to reverse things from
their proper order in statement, to miscall
familiar names and to commit unconscious
ly other plumbers which the mind in q nor
NAL state instantly repudiates. No other ex-
PLANTATION is acceptable. especially in the
case of such a usually careful authority as
the Age-Herald. The Star has only the apol-
ogy Of the necessarily hasty preparation Of
matter for the press to offer for continuing
the blunder, it being taken for granted that
in so familiar detail there could be no mis-
take of statement. Perhaps the error has
served a good purpose in more emphatically
calling attention both to the dangers of Ivy
poisoning and to the easy manner OF dis
tinguishtng 1t from generally similar plants.
The letters which The Star prints today on
the subject indicate the readiness of its
readers to restore it to the path Of truth
when it unwittingly wanders therefrom. and
to safeguard the public from the conse-
quences Of any of the slips which will occa-
sionally happen even in the best regulated
newspapers.

Mr.. Golfer as the Candidate.

The result at Saratoga yesterday in its
leading feature is to be estimated solely
with regard to the presidential aspirations
or David b. Hill. In that view Of the case
the nomination OF Mr.. Coler was the best
card. all things considered. that Mr.. Hill
could have played. 1t was Mr. Coler. or
Judge Parker. or Mr.. Hin himself
Mr.. Hill was the master of the situation.
The faintest intimation OF willingness on
his part to make the race would have con-
verted the convention into a frenzied mob
shouting his name. But the risk was too
great. He likes a gamble, and is rated as a
high roller in politics. but putting up every
red cent on the turn OF d single card gave
him pause. His nomination for governor
would have developed in the campaign
every enemy he had In the world. For sue
cess at the polls would have made him in
bly, the next democratic candidate for
the presidency. There would have been in
vitation and opportunity to go in and finish
Mr.. Hill.
Judge Parker had strength, but too much
strength. That was the difficulty with him.
Had he been nominated and elected he
would have displaced Mr.. Hill as the demo-
cratic leader in New York and become the
partys hope 50 far the presidency was
concerned He would not have been man.

1t is no longer question Of the merits or
dement's of the strike. What we are now
face to face with Is a condition which de-
mands action on the part of those outside
of and above both of these contending par
ties. What is in effect a great national ne
cessity cannot be subordinated to corpora
ton or trades unionist wishes. If the MEM
bers Of community were wholly depend
ent for their daily existence upon water
which came to them from a neighboring
spring; II this supply was owned by certain
individuals and the work of maintaining 1t
was performed by others In the employ Of
these owners, and If through a contention
between these two parties as to their re-
spective shares in the contributions of the
water takers the water supply was cut off
and death in It's direst form threatened
those who in the past had paid for and had
depended upon this water supply, 1t Is GER
tain beyond the possibility of a doubt that
the unwrftten law of self-preservation
would assert ITSELF and that the eommu-
nifty. either legally or Illegally would take
possession. for a time at least, of what was
recognized to be a necessary source Of sup
ply. ignoring in SO doing the demands made
ON either side by those who, to gain their
own ends had shown themselves willing to
put the community at large to the peril of
speedy death.

assist his patron to the full extent of his
power In furthering the plan to send the
New York delegation to the next democratic
national convention instructed for Mr.. Hill
for President. If he is elected governor, he
cannot possibly develop into presidential
quantity and obstruct Mr.. Hills way.
There is not enough of him to spread over
the United States. It will be difficult
enough. If even that Is possible. to spread
him over the state Of New York. Win or
lose therefore with Mr.. Coler, Mr.. Hill may
hope for returns in his hunt for the presi-
dency, and that at present is the sole ex-
PLANTATION Of all Of his activity.
For the rest. the proceedings at Saratoga
were of little moment. The platform in
some of it's planks Is rather a high bid for
votes but platforms nowadays are built
that way. They must be built high in
order to attract any attention atsall. The
Devery episode was simply comic. Shutting
out a Tammany delegation on grounds of
fraud at the polls will amuse even Mr.
Devery himself after his mad fit is over and
the spirit of the slum philosopher returns
to his bosom

To Shepherds Memory.
from the National Tribune.

from the National Tribune.
Washington has fully decided to erect q
monument to the memory of Alexander r.
Shepherd whose body will be brought from
Batopilas for burial. The world does not
know it. and would not remember it long II
1t did, but beautiful Washington Is one
great monument to the energy, pluck and
decision of Alexander R. Shepherd. The
name of LEnfant, who planned and laid
out the city of Washington, and that of
Shepherd, whose farsight and indomitable
will pushed these plans to completion fifty
years later, may well be blazoned on the
city's gates.
Washington was a mud hole. Shepherd
made 1t clean and sweet.
His arbitrary action cost him his fortune
and most Of his friends. While these friends
remained here to enjoy the fruits of his
costly labors. Shepherd, self-exiled, went to
Mexico to build up another fortune.
No marble shaft. no scuptured bust il
needed to remind the present generation
what Shepherd was to the nations capital
but that history may not be neglectful,
there will be erected here in his city
memorial that shall for all time tell what
man may do for man when he wills, and
1t will bear the simple inscription-"Alex-
ander r. Shepherd"

Now is the Time to Act.

In order to appreciate the gravity of the
present situation and the absolute necessity
for an immediate resumption of hard coal
mining it is needful only to look forward
three months and conceive the conditions
which would exist In at least fifteen of the
forty-five states in this country, involving
approximately two-thirds of the people. II
then no hard coal were to be had save at
prices putting it out of the reach Of the
great majority. In every city there would
be hundreds or thousands of men, women
and children in actual danger of death from
cold or starvation. They could not be re-
lieved of their distress because of the very
magnitude of the task and the lack of
means.
Whenever bitter cold strikes Washington
in midwinter, causing a passing emergency.
the charitable people generously contribute
several thousand dollars and afford imme-
date relief. But coal then is at normal
prices. and can be easily bought. Foods
are not especially dear and are within the
reach of the Samaritans for the succor Of
the helpless. In the situation just sug
gested there would be no coal available for
distribution to the poor, for even the rich
would be finding it difficult to secure 1t at
appalling prices. The pinch of poverty
would be felt by the ordinarily well-to-do,
and they could spare little nothing for
the aid of their less fortunate brethren.
Business would be seriously affected.
Scarcely a branch Of trade or commerce
but would feel the grippe of the coal famine
Prices would everywhere soar almost to
prohibition. Employment would be denied
to thousands now dependant upon their
daily wage. In some cities street car lines
deprived of fuel for power making, would
stop; in others factories, lacking fuel. would
close. Trade and traffic decentralization
would lead to a paralysis of society.
So terrible, indeed, is the possibility of
the situation that 1t is inconceivable. 1t
is unbelievable that the case could go
far. Long before the point of general dis
aster and wholesale suffering and death
was reached would come a reaction of vio-
lence sweeping down the barriers between
the supply and the people. That means no
less than revolution. The word IS serious,
but none too serious for the facts. There
is no political doctrine which can stand be-
tween the people and the relief of actual
want, no economic principle which will re-
sst the enforcement of the demand for
food and shelter from the elements, no re-
gard for the forms of law which will stay
the force of a whole people outraged in
every bodily sense and driven to despera
ton by sufferings.
Now, therefore, is the time to move to
avert this calamity. Not next week or
next month. but now. Every day and
week lost Is a contribution to danger The
winter moves nearer and nearer. and the
specter of death advances with it. Now is
the time for settlement, and sure must be
the means adopted toward 1t. No delay and
no mistakes.

They will do nothing that will raise him
in the estimation of the people. The fact
is they will endeavor to defeat him before
the nominating convention, and if they
should fail to do that, they will defeat
him at the national election"
David B. Hill, speaking at Saratoga yes
terday, through the medium of the demo-
cratic state platform, said:
These trust evils are the legitimate pro-
duct of the republican policies, they are
fostered by republican laws, and excused
aroogized for, defended and protected by
republican administrations in return for
campaign subscriptions and political sup
port"
"You pays your money and you takes
your choice" The Georgia statesman sees
the trusts opposing and defeating the re-
publicans. The New York statesman sees
them supporting the republicans with both
money and votes Both of these deliver
ances are political and for campaign pur-
their old and well-known game. They are
subscribing to the campaign funds Of both
parties. and making a little note of the
transaction. Nothing tickIes the trusts half
SO much as the amusing rivalry between the
trust busters of the two parties as to
which side shall corral the strongest terms
of denunciation of trust tendencies and per-
formances. While this trick holds out to
please, the vilest trusts will be at their
ease.

The people are always patient, long suf-

even to protest, but as the season draws on
toward winter public opinion as to the coal
strike Is making itself manifest in various
ways, and Individuals corporations and
municipalities are seeking for methods to
compel the operators and the leaders of the
miners to get together and adjust their diff

grow in number and intensity as winter ap-
