The London Lancet wants a bureau of public health for England It says: "The blessing of peace has been given to us while the lessons of the war point straight to the necessity of an efficient and up to date public health service. It would be idle to suggest that so rad ical and immediate a change as the for nation Of a ministry of public health should be made. with a member of the government of cabinet rank at it's head. We do rot expect such an :nno- vation, but we dc expect that the new government. doubtless starting with kcennces Cn it's work. should give the question of the public health of the country it's best attention. Ana We ie- lieve that the most practical way Of displaying knowledge of the present position, and of the future to be pro- viG1d for. would be to consider serious ly the formation of a bureau of public health"

Democrats Did It.

In telling the democratic convention yesterday that the disaster which over took and annlhilated the Young Mems Democratic club at the primaries last week was the work of The Republican, that esteemed and able young demo- crat pr Hughes, was frank rather than strictly accurate. He would have stat ed the situation more exactly had he explained that the aforesaid disaster was wrought by the democratic voters, large numbers of whom properly and faithfully look to this great family and religious newspaper for truthful pub lication of daily events and instructive comment thereon
 It has been with pain that our valued contributor, Little James," has from
 time to time chronicled the shortcom- ings and financial operations of the Young Mems Democratic club, and it has been with pain that we have point ed out that the taxpayers of Phoenix of S16,OO through having turned over the management of the city's affairs to the leading spirits in this club.
 That there now remains only a grease-spot to show where the Young Mems Democratic club once was, may be taken as indubitable proof that a great many taX-paying democrats are discrimina ting readers of The Republican-and perhaps that is what Dr Hughes meant to convey.

AHATEURS AT HENLEY.

Cornell will assuredly refrain from expeditions
to Henley hereafter. The action of the Eng
lish rowing authorities In deciding to refuse the
entries of crews trained and handled by profes
sional coaches" will Danish Courtney from the
Thames in the famous week devoted to the tri-
umphs Of the amateur devotees Of oars and slid
ing seats. 1t is true that the new regulation
permits professional coaching up to within q
month Of the contests but Cornell is SO fond of
Courtney, and Courtney is SO strongly attached
to Cornell that the mere thought of a separa-
ton even for four weeks in British waters
might cause those linked twins to abandon for
eign travel altogether.
Courtney well deserves the enthusiastic ad-
miration of the wearers of the carneian. He
has worked wonders with the undergraduates
who have smitten the resOunding and watery
burrows in this country and oversee. His
pupils have gained many notable victories He
has the knack Of turning out finished oarsmen,
past masters Of the feather and the unison of
strength and skill.
Ancient Ithaca sent a Ulysses to join the
Grecian feet. The much travelled husband Of
Penelope had large experience on both land
and water. The hero of the Odyssey voyaged
afar, and no one in early ages knew more about
galleys and navigation than the wise old man
who escaped from Circe's wiles But modern
Ithaca challenges the world with professional
instructor of college crews whom it would be
difficult to equal or even to approach in his
chosen field of education and development
When he gets the young idea in an eight cared
shell he can teach It how to shoot ahead OF
rivals If Henley is to know Cornell and
Courtney no more Henley may, perchance. lose

A FOOLISH REJOINDER.

In allusion to the pleas of women for relief
from the manifold distresses which they are
forced to bear in overcrowded streetcars a rep
resentative Of the Metropolitan company jaunt-
lily remarks that IL the women We're not dis
cussing this subject just they would be
busy talking about something else. No doubt
he is within his legal rights in making that dis
courteous response to grave complaints, and
possibly it pleases his employers, but it does
him no credit with the public. Whatever the
value of their contributions to the discussion of
other questions of general interest may be. the
abuses of local transportation constitute a topic
on which they speak with peculiar propriety
and force. for they are the most pitiable victims
of conditions which have become wellnigh intol-
erable. 1t is bad enough for men to be pulled
pushed squeezed and trampled in a public con-
veyance for the comfortable use of which they
have paid sufficient price; but such treatment
is far more grievous to women, since in their
case insult is commonly added to injury and
they afflicted with a sense of personal
degradation.
If streetcar managers fancy that the iamenta-
uons Of women passengers and their indignant
protests can be safely dismissed with a sneer
they are egregiously mistaken That is not the
way In which the matter is looked at by the
men OF New-York or by the public authorities:
nor VIII the legislature look at IT in that way II

LEASES VERSUS OWNERSHIP.

In formal proposition TO the Board of EST
mate and Apportonment that the city should
put up buildings of its own for the use OF de-
partments which now rent offices, Controller
Grout renews his advocacy of a project which
The Tribune long ago commended to official
and general consideration The Controller
shows that of the total sum Of SS17,GOG which
the city pays in rentals S464 900 goes for office
purposes the Borough Of Manhattan alone ac-
counting for about S3S2, 900, which is equiva-
lent TO the interest at 315 per cent on an IN
vestment of S12OO0,00O. For much less than
100000, he says, the city could provide It
self with two new buildings Of credftable
character containing ample space TO meet those
Office requirements for which 1t now depends on
private owners He therefore recommends that
the city construct two such buildings, one in
Chambers-st, between Broadway and the new
Hall of Records, and the other on the site of
Tompkins Market of which he has already ad-
vised the discontinuance
Few will doubt, we suppose, that the Con-
trollers proposal is economically sound but the
objection will probably, and perhaps reason
ably be made that the financial condition OF the
municipality does not at present warrant such
an outlay for purposes which are toleraby well
served otherwise. We shall not venture to
prepared to say that Tompkins Market would
be the best site for one Of the proposed build
ings. But it does seem to us exceedingly desir-
able that the city should acquire the Chambers
st property. If, then, without injury to inter
ests perhaps more pressing, the city could con-
veniently build in the near future on that site,
so much the better; but at any rate it ought to
own the site, and, since the value is sure to
rise, TO take title with the least possible delay.
In that case it would Immediately become its
own tenant in offices for which it now pays
rental of S142, ITO, could presumably occupy ad-
ditional room if it desired on short notice, and
would not find the rest an unproductive asset.
1t can scarcely be doubted that the city will
sooner or later be compelled by its own neces-
stiles and public opinion TO purchase or con-
denim this Chambers-st. property, and that the
longer II delays the more it will have to pay
That is the predestinated site for such a mu-
nicipal building as 1t has great use for even
now, and will imperatively need hereafter. If
the municipal corporation were natural person.
with short life before It, there might be no
sufficient reason for making such an invest
ment; but as the case stands it seems to us to
fall well within the limits of official response
bility for the future welfare Of NewYork.

The Venezuelan situation seems Increasingly
hopeful Definite replies to President Castro
suggestions have not yet been made, OF nave
not been made public. But the partial replies
made In some quarters indicate Willingness "
come to some such agreement as that proposeo'
always provided there is assurance that the
agreement will be practical and eHecu'e 10
+ba latter end there is still some express
sion of desire that the United States should
act as VanezueIa's guarantor to the European
powers or to a private syndicate Whlch may
finance yenezuela's obligations. The suggestion
is made that the powers shall deal directly anu
exclusively with the United States and not WIN
Venezuela at all. Such an arrangement Wouiu
doubtless be entirely acceptable To the powers
and also to Venezuela. But it would be peril
GUS thing for the United States and might ieau
to endless trouble in future.
If the United States should In this case pe-
come Venezuelas guarantor, or should act for
Venezuela it might next month be caileo upon
similarly to serve some other South or Central
American State The precedent once estap-
lshed could not easily be disavowed. In time
the United States might thus be made the imam
ciaI sponsor of all its southern neighbors heio
accountable to the rest of the world for their
debts. and compelled to exert upon them such
pressure as it could for its own recoupment.
That would be intolerable. and any step when
might commit this country to such course is
scrupulously TO be avoided. Nor can European
countries logically ask it of us. Ihey might GO
so If this country objected to their coilecung
their claims from those countries. But 1t does
not object to that. 1t is entirely Wiling 1or
them to collect their just dues from those coun-
tries. even if they have to employ force IN SO
doing. There is nothing of the dog in the man.

Ii is as n mediator, not a guarantor, that
the United States is willing to act 1t Will ex-
ercise its coed offices for bringing the dis
putants together on an amicable basis But Ii
is with Venezuela that the powers must deal IN
council even as it is with her that they are now
dealing in war. If the powers decline to treat
with Mr. Castro himself directly, and the
United States Government sees fit to let one or
its agents act as Mr.. Castro's representative in
the negotiations it will still be with Mr.. Castro
that the powers are dealing. The Venezuelan
Government, and not the government Of the
United States, will he behind that agent, and the
Venezuelan Government, not the government OF
the United States, will have to fulfil whatever
agreement is made That is the reasonable
plan Of procedure. 1t is a logical one. We may
add that IT is the only one that would be en-
tirely satisfactory to the United States. II
Venezuela is sufficiently responsible TO be at
tackled in war she is sufficiently responsible to
be dealt with in peace. The United States is
not her ally nor her champion in war, and is
not TO be made her guarantor in peace.
