Inauguration Day.

From The Toledo blade.
The objection to March is that the wealth
er is so often inclement. Tens of thou
sands Of people attend the ceremonies, and
colds, influenza and pneumonia follow.
Many deaths have been due to exposure on
such occasions, and there exists no reason
why it should not be changed. This would
be by a joint resolution of Congress SUBJ
mitting an amendment to the Constitution
fixing different date. When this is ratf.
fled by the legislatures of three-fourths of
the states it will become operative. The
date most favored is April 30, that being
the day which Washington's first in
auguration occurred. At that period Wash
ington enjoys balmy spring weather. and
even if April shower should fall, 1t
would be quite different from the raw,
cutting winds of early March and the cold
heavy rains so often prevalent at that time

The Buncoing of Christmas.

Thus far in the investigation of the So
called Danish Islands scandal by the House
select committee there has been only that
which will excite the risibilities of the ma
trcn. Some feeling of annoyance however
is Inevitable over the fact that serious Off
ciai attention has been drawn to such fiimsy
charges The truth seems to be that the
Danish eX-naval officer came to this coun-
try on a speculation. with unlimited nerve
little capital and very shaky credentials
his chief resource being the knowledge that
ID, nmark would sell and the United States
probably buy the islands
II he paid out any money at all he was
merely the victim of the "con men," al
ways looking for victims. Starting out
with the conception that bribery could
win the game and that American statesmen
were bribable. he was an easy mark" He
evidently the very poorest type of
negotiator. He went at his work with a
sleuth-like indirectness which contrast
strangely with his frankness in revealing
his corrupt purpose TO casual acquaintances
in bar rooms.
The investigation, having been thus un-
wisely started, should be carried through
to the last item of Information. 1t will per
haps b. we'll in the end that the inquiry
shallowness of the charges and the remote
ness Of the chance for such a dishonest
game to succeed in this day and genera
ton Europe. it appears. has her suspicious
OF Americag honesty. Christmas perhaps
only imbibed the average continental idea
on that score. Here is a case which is at
tracing probably a large degree of inter
national attention, and its thorough ex-
pOsure in every detail will possibly correct
some of the bad impressions which men
daCity and a few instances of American
indisCretion have spread in the old world.
There is not much choice between the
swinder who sells fake bundle of alleged
counterfeit money and the would-be swim
dler who becomes his victim. Neither party
to such a transaction is honest. Both de-
serve harsh treatment. So in this case
there can be no sympathy wha for
Christmas if. in his effort to bribe the
American government or to persuade ii by
corrupt means into the island bargain. he
fell into tine hands of sharpers who sold
him package of green goods"

Rosy Beet Report.
From the New York World.

The annual report just made to the stock
holders of the American Beet Sugar Com
pany by its president, w. Bayard Cutting,
is altogether rosy. Mr.. Cutting asserts that
in spite of the extremely low price of sugar
in the worlds markets everything looks
more favorable for satisfactory campaign
in 1902 than at any time in his experience. -
Evidently the fear that the admission of
Cuban sugar at reduced rates will kill the
beet sugar infant was quite forgotten in
writing this report.

There is nothing revolutionary in Chica-

ship of public facilities. 1t does not ''lead

Various explanations of the kings condi-
ton are offered. One is that there are
symptoms of recrudescence of the mall
ady. Another is that the wound is not
healing properly, and that blood poisoning
is feared, and another that the kings ply
sclans, having found it necessary to COM
ply with their patients wishes respecting
an early date for the coronation, are now
forced to admit that they overrated his re-
operative powers, yet are unwilling TO dis,
appoint him. The list of explanations in
wolves the theory that the king will be
crowned as a final resource, but with
greatly reduced ceremonial adapted to the
requirements of an invalid incapable of en-
during any prolonged strain, fatigue or ex-
element. The king, according to this fore
cast, will not drive with the queen from
the palace to the abbey. but will join her
from the Confessor's Chapel and only re-
main in sight during few passages of the
ceremonial.
Whatever may be the truth respecting the
kings condition, the coronation is not &C
copied as foregone conclusion. The most
hopeful thing about it is the fact that there
is general impression that it will not
occur, and consequently that the unexpect-
ed is likely to happen.
