Inc vaccination crusade gave the funny
man his chance and Smithers, Of course,
was the first victim. The funny man
saw Smithers coming and prepared for
the play. Smithers grabbed so hard that
he went on by the hook andebit into the
line.
When Smithers arrived the funny man
was denouneing the board Of health, tie
police department and all connected
with the vaccination work.
It's an outrage he shouted as Smith
ers walked up to the group, and what
IS more annoying they are getting worse
and worse every day. There's no telling
where they will bring up. Why this last
play OF Ohage's is enough to drive you
out of town.
Why, what has Ohage been doing
now?7 inquired the come-on.
Do you mean to say you haven't heard
of his latest play said the funny man
Perhaps I have. Which one do you
mean? ?" asked Smithers coming up closer
to the hook.
why, this disinfection of pennies.
Haven't you heard that Ohage is afraid
the newsboys may spread smallpox and
to prevent this has disinfected all the
pennies used by the small boys?"
''Cl now, don't get foolish" warned
SIntthers, "Ohage is not doing anything
OF the kind, and you know It,"
Well, just know that he has been
doing this and what's more I can prove
it," bluffed the funny man.
You'll have to show me-" declared
Smithers.
We'll, I can do that too" said the
funny man, showing hand down into a
pocket, s.for I have several Of the pen

ton to the position of rear admiral. In
stead Of being promoted the department
should have insisted on his being court
martiaIed if the position taken by the
court of inquiry and concurred in by the
president were just.
The presidents censure of Sampson for
allowing his charge of reprehensible con-
duct to remain in the background until
after the battle of Santiago and for con-
tinuing Schley second in command is not
much to any purpose whatever. If he
had advanced it for discrediting the eff
fort of the navy department marplots to
ruin schley. there would be some point to
it. Presented as it is, it must be re-
garded as a mere sop to Admiral schey's
friends.
The decision will not change the verdict
of the American people, nor influence the
conclusions of future historians.

ABSoLUTISM.

The situation which confronted the mi
nority in the house of representatives on
the passage OF the tax repeal measure is
one which is a menace to the right of the
people to transact their own public Bust
ness through their chosen representatives.
The measure under consideration was
one of inherent merit. No class or party
in public life could afford to assume any
attitude of opposition to It. There was
no opposition to it. There had been heard
from time to time more or less talk about
offering measures not germane to its sub
ject matter as amendments; but that talk
never took any positive direction, and
there was no such purpose presented on
the part of any representative of the mi
nority when the bill was brought up for
final action. Even Representative Bah
cock, who was made to play the part of
stool-pigeon by his Republican associates
through the representation that he con-
templated offering his tariff revision
scheme as an amendment, was shown not
to have the slightest purpose of that kind
in mind.
Under such circumstances the Repub-
licans, representing working majority
of forty or over, forced rule into
operation denying to any member outside
the committee of ways and means the
right to offer any amendment
I HI Clio e has always been hostile
to any plan in legislation which looks
to the lacking OF improper and lrrel-
eyant amendments to any measures that
cannot be passed on their merits. It has

THE EXPECTED HAppENrn

Inc decision of the president on the
application of Admiral Schley has been
fully anticipated by The Globe. This
paper had always looked on the FRO
posed action of schley's friends and
counsel as unwise, and regarded the pcs
sibility of any decision save that when
has been rendered as impossible.
1t had long been plain to all thought
full observers of this case that the navy
department clique would stand fast on
the proposition that any other action by
the president would be reversal of the
action of his predecessor. They nave
done 50; and the decision of the president
clearly shows that that was the ami
mating thought in his mind throughout,
and that in the determination Of the
question as to who was in command at
Santiago the most absolute conviction On
the question would alone cause the pres
ident to set aside the finding Of his pred
ecessor.
Few persons will admit that Admiral
Sehley ought to have raised any such
question. Technically, there could have
been no doubt that Sampson was in COM
mand. All the proof went to show that
while he was not able to take any part
in the battle except, perhaps, to have
fired few unavailing shots, his flagship
was within sight and hearing, at least,
Of the conflict. Perhaps the most just
view of the disputed technical question
as TO who was in command is the de-
termination Of the president that it was
a captains battle.
In no other respect is the decision OF
the president entitled to be regarded with
public approval. His view of the loop
transaction is that the turn was made in
the wrong direction. His decision runs
counter to all the evidence, and is plainly,
whether consciously or unconsciously,
dictated by a desire to uphold the at
titude of the department and the con-
clusion Of the majority Of the court. II
evidently soes not occur to the presiden,
that the department had placed it out OF
dts power to call in question the right
fitness Of anything that Schley had done
while in command of the flying squadron
by its approval of the decision of the
board Of inquiry on his proposed eleva-

Democrat and lives in the Seventh
ward
Charles Terrier yesterday gave official
notice Of his aspiration to the Democratic
nomination to the assembly by fling his
ceruncate of nomination. Mr.. Terrier
lives in the First ward.
The ultra non-partisan character Of
the 'snon-partisan citizens committee is
clearly demonstrated by the bunch of in
dorsements it juggled at its Wednesday
night meeting. Almost without exception
the Republicans reported for Endorsement
We're those who have filed for the coun-

services of several "non-partisan" COM
mittees to belittle before the voters of ST.

men who have offered themselves as cam
didates to the assembly on the Democrat
ic ticket.
There is trouble in the Fourth ward
Republican organization, the fountain
head of the simon pure article of ma
chine Republicanism that will not down.
The methods employed in the attempt
to force Henry Shepherd, Republican can
didate for alderman, off the ticket, has
stirred up a strife that outdoes the usual
high-grade article of harmony peculiar
to the statesmen of the Bloody Fourth =
Efforts to force him off, through threats,
misrepresentation, and finally, money,
have signally failed, and have resulted
in drawing to Shepherd an entirely IN
expected support from men who have al
ways held aloof from the political in
trigues of the hot1bed of the real thing
in Republican methods.
The men who have come to Shepherd S
rescue, and who swear they will stick
to him through thick and thin, are among
the best known white men in the ward.
They say that Shepherd was allowed to
go into the race without the slightest
objection being raised, and that now he
is to be kicked out because he has been
found to be honest, not because he is a
negro. They say that when Howard
Wheeler and his friends found out that
they could do nothing with Shepherd,
the boss told Shepherd he would have
to withdraw from the ticket because the
party would not stand for colored man
Shepherd, who is not, and never has been,
an advocate of social equality, could not
understand the sudden change of front
in the men who had allowed him to go
into the fight, and declined to obey their

NEW YORK, Feb 20-Rumors from

Hospital Managers Dislike Bill
The board Of managers of the Man

act on the bill placing the control of the
state hospitals in the hands of the state
board of charities. The board adopted
resolutions resenting the implied impGta-
ton against honesty and diligence in the
management Of the particular institution
in which they are interested.
A copy of the resolutions will be for
warded to Gov. Odell. The board met be-
hind closed doors, but it is understood
that there was a full attendance.

"Manree.'' Even his most rapturous ad-.
mirers must have regretted having sum-
moned him into a publicity SO unsuited
to him. His insignificant stature was
emphasized by the great stage behind
him and the vast auditorium in front.

passed for bows were the embodiment of
awkwardnesS. His pale face and hair

denounced such schemes, and would have
denounced any such purpose on the part
Of the Democrats Of the house; but
there was no occasion, as there was no
such purpose entertained by any mem
Der whatever, Democrat or Republican.
But there was in existence the purpose
on the part of many members of the
minority to offer proper and germane
amendments. They were choked Off. and
| We're compelled to refuse to discuss the
measure when such discussion merely
meant to them that they might talk as
long as they saw fit, but that the result
was already settled for them.
This is not legislation. 1t is, pure and
simple, absolutism. 1t is destructive of
the first principle of representative gov
eminent. 1t passes all authority into the
hands of the leaders and leaves the rank
and file not only unrepresented but pow
erless Representative DalzeH told OF
the experience Of Republican members

! consideration, and $40 proposed amend
| ments we're acted on without being read.
There is not the slightest analogy be-
tween the two cases. The consideration
Of even half that number of amend
ments to any measure would consume an
| indefinite length of time, and would
jeopardize the passage of the measure.
There was no analogy between the two
cases. AS the event showed, there was
no opposition whatever to the tax re-
| peal bill, and the Introduction of such
| rule was mere sitting of all express
sion of popular sentiment through the
peoples representatives In congress.
The Republicans can go on There is
nothing to hinder them. The reins of
power in national affairs are completely
IN their hands. The majority of the SUI
