POTTER PALMER.

TO the long list Of deaths Of notables
the past few days IL added that OF Pot
ter Palmer in Chicago, whose sudden
demise last Sunday night seems to
have come as a surprise to his family
and friends. Mr.. Palmer is regarded
as a pioneer in the commercial deyel-
opment Of Chicago Among the new
ideas he introduced in the business
world were so-called special sales and
the right Of customers to exchange
goods that aid not suit them, Mr.,
Palmer was Quaker and consequently
did not believe in war, but when the
War OF Secession broke out, he fur
nlshed the government large sums Of
money, and In every way possible aid
ed the cause OF the Union.
Since 1867 Mr.. Palmer has been en-
gagged in real estate transactions on a
very large scale. The big fire in 1871
swept much Of his property out of ex-
lstence and left him a poor man, but
he soon recovered his lost fortune. At
his death he was estimated TO be worth
from ten to fifteen million dollars
Mrs Potter Palmer Is a lady OF inter-
national renoWn. She was president Of
the lady board of managers of the
Chicago Fair, and the only woman
COMM gsiOnpr appointed Ia ranresenf
the United States at the Paris EXPOSE
ton She was given the decoration
of the legion Of honor by the French
government on that occasion.

First, because II does not appear that
Fllipnos have been treated with the
unspeakably intense cruelty some
times manifested In the treatment OF
negroes; and secondly, because the de-
fence Of mob deviltry was offered IN
the United States Senate, where, one
would have a right to suppose. justice
should reign supreme.
Senator Tlllman freely admitted that
the white people Of the South were de-
termlned to "subdue' the negro. even
by using the shotgun and he declared
that this process was going TO con-
tlnue. when we get ready" he said,
TO put a nlgger's face in the sand, We
put his body there, too"
The frankness OF this statement is
genuine, although brutal, It throws
all the light desired upon many Of the
lynchings with which the pages bf
American history Is besmeared. It adj
vocates murder as political expedi-
emit
Senator Tillmans case ought TO be
considered by the Senate. The ques-
ton should be raised whether a man
with the views and sentiments he en-
tertains Is 1T for membership IN that
body. And the Senate Itself IL the
proper and only judge OF the qualilca-
tions Of It's members The Constitu-
ton has given certain rights to the
colored race, but Senator Tillman de-
clares, that If the South had known
that such rights were TO be given
them, the war would have gone on IN
definitely. That is an ntImatlon that
what Is happening In the South as to
the negro Is but prolongation OF the
war. 1t Is defiance OF the Constitu-
ton. The Senate might well consider
that case seriously
Certain army officers may have
thrown odlum upon the American army
In the Philippines but that is no rea-
son why United States senator's should
be permitted to disgrace the body Of
which they, by some means or other,
have become members.

The territories have a Just claim up
on the Republican party for admission
TO statehood. The platform adopted
by the party al the Philadelphia con-
vention In 1900 declares: I'VE favor
home rule for and the early admission
10 statehood Of the territories Of New
Mexico, A-i2ona and oklahoma" The
convention OF 1896 made a similar dec
laration, and the admission OF the ter
ritories would therefore be in accord
with the established and declared pol

STREET CARS AND HEALTH.

attention TO the fact that although

OF view, That is subject OF general
interest Cars says the writer referred
to, with a seating capacity of from 20
TO 30 people, often carry from 50 to 30
passengers. The sanitary evils OF such
oyercrowdlng are not merely specula-
tive. The fact is that statistics prove
that the death-rate is very high among
people wh1 breathe poor air and occupy
crowded quarters.
BY careful analysis. we are told. II
has been proved that the air in over
crowded street cars contains as much
as 26.2 parts OF carbonlc acid, while
bacteria are abundant in the cocoa

DARING posToFFlcE ROBBERY.
Chicago Postoffice Robbed of $4,000
REGISTERED Mail.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The Chicago post
office was the victim Saturday night OF
one of the most daring robberies that
has ever been perpetrated in this city.
Ten thousand dollars is the amount be-
lieved to have been secured by the rob-
bers. Two mail sacks containing the
money, which had just been picked up
from two of the down town sub-sta-
lions, we're left In an unprotected col
lecting wagon, in front of the Masonic
temple, while the mail carrier went into
the building to gather mail that had ac-
cumulated there. The carrier was gone
only moment but when he returned,
his horse and wagon had disappeared.
While the carrier had been in the build
ing the robber, who evidently had been
waiting his opportunity, had jumped
into the rig and driven away.
The street was full of people at the
time, but no no seems to have noticed
the thief The two mail sacks, cut
open and rified of their contents, were
found near Kinks soap factory, fully a
mile from the scene of the robbery. The
horse and rig were found two miles fur
Their west, where the robber had left
them standing in the street. The police
and federal authorities were notified
less than two minutes after the robbery
been secured.
Both the mail bags were full of regis
tered letters. The postal authorities
are unable to state the exact amount
stolen, but estimate it at fully $4,000.
