The fist fight between two members
of the nations Senate chamber on
Washington Birthday, was an otfense
for which men would be elected from
even the lowest of social gatherings.
That it should have occurred at
such a time and in such a place
not only shows woful lack of dis
cipline in the Senate but illustrates
the American want of proper respect
and reverence for it's highest offices and
institutions. Men should be taught
that they cannot hold these high po-
sitions in the service of their country
until they have learned to control
their tempers and to discuss mat
tiers of deep impoltance with dignity
and self-possession. Senator Tillman
may have spoken truths that were over
whelming to his fiery Southern nature ;
but the Senate is no place in which to
prefer angry charges, unaccompanied
by proof; nor IS it the place in which
to call man liar. The Senate should
punish severely this breach of respect
and decency; but it is questionable
whether it did right in depriving South
Carolina of her vote on the Philippine
tariff bill Monday, because her sena-
tors were in contempt. If the senators
had been expelled, she could have filled
their positions at once, but since they
were merely suspended, she was help
less and deprived of any power in the
matter. The offense for which the pun
ishment was inflicted was purely per-
sonal, while the punishment was in
hicted upon the state.

New York papers report very inter

man, an old Vermonter, on some traits
of Vermont character which he thinks
will work against DR.. Webb's nomina-
ton for governor of the state. He
credits the jewellers in the western part
of the state with New York ideas and
business affiliations, while the eastern
residents, he AYERS, are similarly in
tluenced by Boston. But third large
element, escaping the sway of either
city, and composed of the "Old Green
Mountain" stock, have an Unborn fear
of money and its power and would re-
gard as bribery the spending of any
large amount in political campaign.
On account of this element, he thinks
DR.. Webb's chances of nomination not
the best. Well, he may be right. But
we have never thought wealth an in
barrier to political advance
ment. In DR.. Webb's position. we
should not despair of winning favor
even with "Old Green Mountain
stock. Even vice, that monster of
frightful MEN, great poet assures
US, will finally be embraced by HUI
manity if only seen often enough to
become familiar with its face. -

Those intensely patriotic citizens

un-Democratic bowings and scrapings

should feel easier now that Prince
Henry's reception has been so simply
and fittingly accomplished. The events
of the day, so far as national officials
were concerned, were marked by in
formal, though dignified courtesy, and
the cordial welcome due to the honor
ed representative of great nation.

Admiral Evans greeting to the prince !;
-" everybody in the United States is
waiting to welcome you;" President
Roosevelt received him in the blue
room of the White House, alone and
unceremoniously, with a cordial hand
clasp and few pleasant words of
greeting-there was no attempt at
show or any aping of the forms of roy
atty. The prince received these greet
ings with equal simplicity of manner,
adapting himself to American ways
with the-ease of good breeding. 1t is
pleasing to find that, in the midst of
all the fuss and furry of excitable in
1ividual extremists who either want

attention or make him feel that his
connection with royalty is stigma on

be properly stored. The miscellaneous

In consequence, not only will the bureau

A Physicians Duty to Himself.
the Philadelphia Medical Journal.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal
The newspapers announce the death Of a
venerable physician in the interior of the
state, who, after a practice of fiftv-fve
years, leaves uncollected book accounts
amounting to $4,000. 1t will be in order
now for the lay press to moralize on the
case and to refer to the noble missionary
pfopenSitleS of the medical profession
Some people will see In this story the evi-
oence that physicians are a noble, self
sacrlliclng class, while on the other hand
certain Philistines will say that the case
simply proves that doctors have not sense
enough to collect their bills. Judgment in
such case depends somewhat upon the
point of view. Both interpretations are
valid. but on the whole the Philistine iudg-
ment Is the one that goes straight to the
point. 1t is somewhat deplorabe that the
medical profession should have forced upon
it the reputation Of being missionary pro-
fesSion, simply because 1t has slack bust
ness methods, and it is not desirable that
1t should have to support such an unde-
served reputation for benevolence at the
expense of its own bread and butter The
dear public is not slow to adopt the COM
Portable idea that physicians practice medi-
cine for the love of their fellow men, and
to let the doctors have the full benefit of
this reputation when the bills are pre-
scented. There is danger of insincerity and
cant on side and of injustice and fraud
Oh the other. Fifty thousand dollars in I'M
collected book accounts are a poor asset
for any doctors estate.

TENNIS IN ANCIENT FRANCE.
More Popular Than Archery in the
Thirteenth Century.
From Longman's Magazine.

From Longman's Magazine.
Among the games pure and simple which
had so great popularity that archery was

game of tennis. held from early times the
most prominent place in France. Every
body played it, kings as well as their sub
jects. Even monks were addicted to 1t, and
the council of Sens prohibited their play

voted to this game, and others of the same
kind, that they often left their work on
week days to go and play, and various reg

to suppress such games or to allow them

Lamp Boys of London.
ON the Westminster Gazette.


Owing to the new acetylene lamps, which
appear today for the first time on 1000
omnibuses, certain group of street char
acters familiar to Londoners are lost from
view. These are the agile lamp boys posted
at various points along the principal routes
over which the omnibuses ran. Their chief
duty consisted in clambering swiftly up the
bus and dexterously removing. sometimes
while the vehicle was in motion, the old
oil lamp, which Is to be happily seen no
lamp will require no attention en- route
and for the conductor to light up 1t will
only be necessary for him to turn a small
tap. Before the bus leaves the company's
yard in the morning an official places a
cake of carbide of calcium in small slot
beneath the lamp, and beyond filing
small tank with water nothing else Is re-
quired to provide the powerful new nlumi-
nant.
