The Henderson Mystery.

If the adoption of free western phrase
is in order. the joke is on General Hender-
son. He will have to issue a supplement
to his explanation explaining his letter Of
withdrawal The explanation does not ex-
plain. The country does not understand 1t
at ALL He has mystfed his constituents
no more than he has the people in remote
Maine and Texas and California. Why he
should decline to stand for reelection when
he indorses his party's platform and knows
that the choice for him is between that
and the platform of his ancient enemy is
beyond the ken of the average individual.
His position is a most embarrassing one
for a of his pride and record. 1t is
too personal to be associated to his credit
with political leadership. He could not rea-
sonably have hoped to write the Iowa
state platform. Nor was it unfair to ask
him to stand alongside of Allison, Doliver,
Cummins Wilson and Shaw. He had stood
with them last year on the same platform.
Then why not have stood with them again
this year?

DeVerY's Victory.

How can the theory, recently revived by a
pastor who became famous in a day, that
there are no accidents in the economy OF
Providence" be reconciled with the victory
of Big Bill Devery? OF course, there may
be more things in heaven and earth than
are dreamt of in our philosophy, and there
may be some connection between Provi-
dence and Devery, but II there is, the con-
nection must be the slenderest thread OF
spiders web spun by casuist. The con-
nection between Devery and his Satanic
Majesty is a good deal more likely. and
FEASIBILITY is lent to this view by the fact
that all the Satanic forces in the ninth as
sembly district of Manhattan aligned them
selves under Big Bits banner.
Here is man whose career is stencil
in the public's nostrils; who has been dis
credited by such a disgraced political
organization as Tammany Hall; whose
avowed purpose was to win no matter how
who is credibly charged with bribing with
money squeezed from the foulest sources; a
man whose thoughts, as he himself has ex-
pressed them, are always coarse and at
most times brutal.
And yet this man wins a political tri-
umph which marks him as leader of other
men.

York politics,

Auto-Lunacy.

The announcement was recently made that
Mr.. Willie K. Vanderbilt, jr., had been
cured of auto-lunacy and henceforth would
not drive a steam engine at railroad pace
through streets, lanes and country ways.
The Information was encouraging, not be-
cause any especial interest attaches to Will
lie. but because auto idiots have been con-
sidered incapable OF having sane spasms.
The announcement Is now made that Willie
has not displayed the brain power credited
to him in the first announcement and that
he will not divorce his red devils, white
ghosts, yellow phantoms and black deaths.
Automobiles who regard the public in the
traditional Vanderbilt way, have only them
selves to blame for the anti-auto regula.
tons that are springfng up throughout the
auto-infested parts of the United States.
They must be taught, even though it is diff
ficult for them to learn, that the ownership
of a locomotive does not convey title to
all the streets and other highways in the
land 1t is gratifying that charges of man
slaughter are being laid against drivers of
automobiles that have caused the death of
persons. and a New Jersey judge has held
that automobilists are responsible for acct
dents which result from the frightening of
horses by recklessy driven machines.

The Newspaper Verdict.

Editorial reflections upon the life and
death of Alexander r. Shepherd have been
given prominence In nearly all the impor-
tant. and in multitude of the unimportant
newspapers of the United States Since the
drath Of William Mckinley, the passing of
no man has prompted such general editorial
comment as the death of Ex-Governor Shep-
herd. Among the hundreds of newspa oars
from all the states, that pour across the ex-
change desk of The Star there are but few
which did not dedicate an editorial article
to the memory of this man. In very many
instances the longest, most conspicuous and
most carefully prepared article on the edi-
torial page has been review of the works
Of Mr.. Shepherd and of the relation which
he bore to the capital of the United States
The space given by American newspapers
to editorial comment the death of JUS
tlce Horace Gray has not nearly equaled
that given to the memory of Mr.. Shepherd
The extent of the consideration given to
this sad theme must be revelation to
those persons, if there are such, who re-
garded Mr.. Shepherd as a man of mere local
reputation.
These articles on the chara cter and
achievements of Mr.. Shepherd do not, as
rule. take the form of euloges, as that
word has come to be understood. Hardly
any of them contain expressions that are
unkind. They simply attempt deliberate
measurement of the lifework of the man
and then reach the conclusion that Alexan-
der R. Shepherd was honest and that ne
was wise and progressive beyond the under
standing OF majority of his contempora-
ries. Through all these editorial reviews
there runs the sentiment that time has
proved the worth of Mr. Shepherds iudg-
ment. and that Washington owes its beauty
to his determination and to his manlness in
doing his duty needless of the noise of dis
contented persons The verdict of taa re-
viewers Is the verdict of all people. which
Is, that Governor Shepherd was misiudgcd
by many at the time of his supreme useful
ness to Washington

itself to two great changes, the change to-

lines of active work, and the change toward
more definite concentration in all things.
The rapid growth of vast fortunes has
made 1t possible for the university to ax-

on a more substantial foundation, will de-

A French Critic of Our Universities.

NJ. Jean Jussieu a French cynic, writing
in the Paris Revue. expresses grave doubts
of the efficacy of the American schools and
universities. He AYERS that the latter ere
governed by mere endowment seekers, men
of shrewd address and of high social POSI-
ton who can confidently and successfully
approach mllionaires with requests for ad-
ditions to the great funds accommodating
under university control. These vast sums,
NJ. Jussieu AYERS, are wasted in the con-
struction of great buildings and the cause
of education is not proportionately ad-
vanced. More money should be spent upon
the production of monographs by learned
men. 1t Is perhaps true that in their pres
ent stage of development the American uni
versities are engaged somewhat more con-
spicuousiy than previously in their care .rs
in constructing accommodations for the en-
larged attendance. They are erecting Cor
mitories. lecture halls. laboratories and the
like at an unprecedented rate. But this 10

The youth of the country is pouring into
these institutions more rapidly than ever
before. Diversified and specialized eduea-
ton permits practical results heretofore i'm
possible, while the general college course Is
regarded with greater breadth of view as
preparatory to some particular line OF
study. The enormous endowments are
necessary unless the universities are to
become congested and incapable of fulfil
ing their function. 1t is not true, however,
that the average university president Is a
mere collector. He is as a rule great adj
ministrator, aided by carefully selected
corps of instructors.

The Bay State Democrats.

Rv far the most interesting democratic
deJiyerance made this year on the tariff
question is that of the Massachusetts DEM
ocrats made yesterday. This is the text:
Free raw material is the only sound
foundation for the manufacturing suprem-
aoy which this country Is seeking; We
again demand that the duties upon such
material. so injurious and unfair to the
Industrial development of this common
wealth. shall be wholly removed. We de-
mand particularly free coal, free iron ore,
free wool and free hides, and we condemn
the republican policy Of sacrificing great
New England interests to Its political ext
gencies.'
Here we have the battle for tariff re-
vision renewed on the old lines. 1t was at
this point that the democrats divided in the
spring of 1894. and mustered in Congress I'M
der opposing leaders. Mr.. Wilson of West
Virginia. vigorously supported by Mr.. Cleve-
land, led the faction contending for free
raw materials while Mr. German led the
other faction. There had been resistance to
some of the protection duties proposed on
manufactured goods, but those differences
had all been composed. 1t was the ques-
ton of admitting all raw materials free
which produced the rupture. Certain eastern
interests clamored for that policy, while the
south and the west, the home Of free raw
materials. opposed 1t. The south and the
west won

to spare. Strangely enough, he will re-enter

ure of any kind can pass while that condi-
ton continues. But it will be interesting to
note the responses to this Massachusetts
platform, and estimate by them what may
be expected in the way of tariff revision If
the democratic party within the next few
years should be restored to full power.
The discontinue of George Fred Williams
was minor matter. and is hardly worth a
word. When it was recently announced
that he would write the democratic plat
form the country wondered. 1t seemed
strange that party boasting the names of
such men as Richard Oney, and the late
William E. and John E. Russell, and con-
tsmplating nominating for governor such a

Immunity From Typhoid.

A medical journal recently declared that
the Arabs are practically immune as re-
CARDS typhoid fever, in consequence of
their potations. through many generations,
OF the fouiest of waters. Travellers In
Africa have wondered at the avidity with
which even thirsty men have consumed
great quantities of stagnant water and
their apparent freedom from Ill effects of
their libations. The theory Just outlined
suggests an explanation. The doctrine OF
minimizing the human system by exposure
to a specific disease has long been ac-
cepted. But it has depended upon a pre-
vfous sickness from that specific cause
Thus a person once afflicted with small
pox is believed to be in no danger from
subsequent exposure, up to a certain length
OF time. Vaccination is an application OF
this principle. So. In effect, is the toxin
treatment OF certain diseases. such as diph-
iberia. But no presumption Of immunity
exists in the case of typhoid fever, which
may fasten itself upon a former victim /!
the specific germ is taken into the system
and finds a favoring soil for develop
ment and multiplication.
The Arabian method OF securing immu-
nifty from typhoid will hardly prevail in
these regions. The penalty Is too heavy.
1t has been noted that Arabs taken from
their own environment succumb quickly to
consumption. The question Is at once
raised whether the constant use of foul
water lowers the vitality. even though it

American Sanitation at Manila.

From the Philadelphia Record
Whatever may be the eventual outcome
of American incursions into tropical coun-
thies with a view to their government,
there will be general agreement to the
value and success of our sanitary methods
as applied to municipal administration I'M
der southern skies. Havana was trans
formed within two years from a lazar
house to a health resort. Yellow fever,
once endemic scourge of the city, is now
having been reported for a tWelvemonth.
The simple process of cleaning up that
wrought this sanitary revolution is now to
be applied to Manila, where pestilence of a
choleraic type is endemical. At the Philip
pine capital the American local authorities
will be confronted with a task of sanitation
more difficult than that which the world
applauded at Havana, and there will be no
marvellous combination of medical expert
and military genius in command.
