The New Baronet,

Sir Thomas is promoted. He receives no
larger pay.
He already had more money than he need
ed. anyway.
And envy says that other men have worked
as hard as he,
Although. perhaps. they've not produced
such quantities of tea.
Sir Thomas is promoted, though he can't
eat any more,
And he isn't any taller as he steps inside
the door,
And when it comes to yachting, why, it
doesn't yet appear
That his latest boat goes faster than the
one he built last year.
Yet there's general satisfaction Deny it IL
you can;
It's very proper action toward a most
deserving man.
If you pause to ask the reason in the tav
ern or the court,
They will tell you ''he's promoted cause
he's such a jolly sort"

The President at Harvard.

The President in his Harvard speech shows
that the era is not one wholly of sordid-
ness. He mentions three men of his ac-
quaintance who have recently made signal
sacrifices to serve the government Gen.
eral Wood, as We happen to know here in
Washington, declined a tempting offer in
order to return and finish his work In Cuba.
Judge Taft, 1t appears, has been equally
self-denying in the matter of his duties In
the Philippines, and Mr.. Root gave up the
leadership of his profession in New York
to accept at a most trying and uninvfting
time the portfolio of the War Department.
Maybe we are not as people as near the
money level and the money devil as the
pessimists and anti-imperialists assert.
These three men alone ought to save US
from wrath. But, as a matter of fact, ma
tional pride was never greater than 1t now
is. and men willing to serve the country
for love Of the country never more
numerous than they now are. Still, those
whose occupation 1t is to search for and
study spots on the sun will continue to I'M
dervalue that luminary.

Roslyn.

A shooting affair occurred the other night
at Roslyn, at the Virginia end of the AQue-
duct bridge, which should attract the no.
tice of the federal and the state authori-
ties, not merely to punish the immediate
offenders, but to lead perhaps to a better
ment of the vile conditions which prevail
there. The settlement across the Aqueduct
bridge is VIGOROUSLY rough and even dam
gerous. 1t lies at what Is in effect the gate
way to Arlington. center of great national
interest. Owing to the presence of a mill
tary post between the town and the ceme-
terry the elements of possible trouble are
never absent, in consequence Of the ten
dency of the soldiers to roam among the
purlieus when off duty. With a stern au-
thority in control at Roslyn the danger of
disturbance would be minimized. But with
the place the resort of gamblers, thugs and
rowdies. virtually unrestrained in their ac-
tons, it not only invites disorder, but con-
teammates the whole atmosphere. Instances
are numerous where people compelled to
pass through the place, even In the daylight,
on their way to and from Arlington or Fort
Myer are insulted and often molested by
the roughs who congregate in the so-callel

Fusion.

Fusion in the west is no longer a ques-
ton of platforms but of candidates. Both
the populists and the democrats are out
for the spoils. Any populist Is willing to
stand on a democratic platform, and any
democrat on populist platform This be-
trays weakness in both organizations and
makes fusion even when effected, unprom-
ising.
Why pOpulism anywhere today? In its
day it had a certain surface excuse for ex-
istence- Times were hard. Prices We're low.
Crops had failed. The patience of the av-
erage man is short. and when he gets tbs
notion in his head that the government is
responsible for his distresses he wants Il
change forthwith, and bethinks him Of poll
cies which if intrusted to wise hands will
make everybody happy. And so he repu-
dates his old political affiliations sets up
a cry for new men and new measures, and
gives himself new name. Hence the birth
and growth of populism, which for time
made heavy inroads on republican1sm in
the west and on democracy in the south.
Gradually the conditions that produced
populism have disappeared. The people
have passed from poverty to affiuence
From having next to nothing they have
come to have so much they hardly know
what to do with it. What era ssho ppecs
formerly picked in Kansas men to-day are
paid double wages to harvest. The stuff IS
in such abundance that when the tina
comes for market the railroads find trouble
in moving it. The average farmer, with no
mortgage on his land, and no interest to
provide for, but with his barns fun to
bursting and prices high is a sort of pluto-
crat. Why any longer therefore caH him
self pOpulist? The name is the Offspring
of poverty and distress.
Where there is unrest now outside of the
two old parties it proceeds from the album
dance that exists. There are many people
who cannot stand prosperity. They either
waste their substance, or busy themselves
in trying to rearrange the conditions that
produced it. And SO We have at present
demands for all sorts Of changes IN our
political system from men who are living
well, but are possessed with an idea that
things might be better. They should get
themselves new name. Populsm is out Of
date and misleading. Or. what would prob
ably be better. they should reinspect the
two old parties to see if in one or other
of them there is'hot now the promise in the
Icing run of securing what they are driy-
ing at

streets, whereas on Sundays the settlement
is almost a prohibitive barrier to many who
would like to visit the governments estab-
lishments on top of the hill. One Of the
strong arguments in favor OF the Memorial
bridge Is that its construction would per-
NIT the government to control the approach
to Arlington and to prevent the growth Of
such disreputah,e colony. If Congress Is
determined not to provide this decent
means of access to the national cemetery
and the military post. it should at least take
steps to acquire sufficient authority over
the Aqueduct bridge approach to enable it
to clear out the morally and PHYSICALLY pes
tilential accommodations there. The state Of
Virginia might do much to this end II it
would aid the authorities of Alexandria
county. who are seriously handicapped in
their occasional efforts at reform by the
lack of means and the preponderance of the
vicious element at certain points.

The Kings Illness.

The bulletins issued occasionally by
King Edwards physicians indicate that
their patient Is progressing as well as may
De expected in such a case. But beyond
the range of these formal statements ex-
lists a feeling, almost a belief. that the
chances for his recovery are very slight
Sir Frederick Treves. now in attendance in
1871 contributed to a textbook an article
on the subject of pertyphIitis, from which
the king is suffering, in the course of
which he noted that statistics had indicated
the death rate, where assesses were pres
ent. To be IS per cent. So that the king.
according to that deduction, has a little
better than three chances in ten for re-
coyery- TreveS proceeded to note that ONLY
about per cent in such cases die within
dorty-eight hours and only about - per
cent before the fifth day, while the heaviest
death rate comes between the seventh and
eighth days. According to these statistics
King Edwards chances do not improve
with the passage of the days. up 10 the
eighth day. which will be next Tuesday.
Therefore the reassuring bulletins, unbiased
upon any explorations of the abdominal
region of the patient. must be received
with reserve
The kings death could not now shock

news of his illness. the operation and the
postponement Of the coronation shocked it
last Tuesday. The extremely grave char
ecter Of the ailment and of the operation
has been made clear. and preparations have
apparently been taken in the interim to cope
with the emergency of the death of the
sovereign Business has suffered severely
from the postponement. and even bank
rUptcy has resulted in some cases through
the collapse of the coronation plans
The chorus of world sympathy which
has been heard IN London since the news
of the kings Illness was flashed forth has
indicated that Edward is widely popular
apart from political considerations. There
has been no break in the note of genuine
grief over his pitiful disappointment. The
stroke of disease which has laid him low
is universally regarded one of the most
pathetic tragedies in history and the tidings
from buckingham palace are being read
today. doubtless. in every quarter of the
globe with a universal. fervent hope that
he will recover to dIsprove the foolish
prophecies and pessimistic beliefs regard

The Fight in PENNSYLVANIA.

The wisdom of the Pennsylvania republi-

shown in the action of their opponents at
Erie yesterday. Mr.. Pattison is a man o.
high personal character and demonstrated
ability. He has the respect not only of
the state but Of the country He has twice
been governor. His election on both occa-
sions emphasized the protest of the people
against bad government. The republicans

feat. They decided. therefore, in the inter-
ests alike of self-preservation and public
duty, to heed the warnings and make a
bid for the peoples confidence. They found
in Judge Pennypacker most excellent man
for that purpose. He has the ability, the
character, and the experience in public at
fairs to fill the Office Of governor with en-
tire satisfaction to everybody. His ac-
eeptance of the nomination is assurance
that if elected he will administer his trust
according to his own lights as applied to
the expressed desire of the people for a
new and vastly better order of things at
Harrisburg. Each party therefore is repre-
sented in its leading candidate in this race
by worthy citizen.
The democratic platform is quite as
worthy of attention as the democratic can
didate. Wisely enough, it is confined to
state issues. On all national issues Penn

their local affairs have been outrageously
msmanaged, and the democratic arraign-
ment of the party In power has point to it.

it is supported by abundant republican adj

Memorial Bridge Defeated Once More

The House economists have had their way
and the Memorial bridge is lost for the ses-
sion. All the arguments in behalf of the
of few years ago that the House would
the next session pass the item was re-
garded as void through lack of perform
ance. The fact that the next autumn will
afford peculiarly fitting occasion for
beginning the bridge was ignored. The
further fact that the bridge is actually
needed for highway purposes was waved
aside. In their anxiety to secure a clear
ance of the calendars in season for ad-
journment before July the Senate al
lowed the stubborn House to dictate the
fate of the item once again and so the
haDs to another Congress. for considera-
ton.
The District is disappointed. but it does
not despair. The fact is, it has been
thwarted for so long In this enterprise that
defeat seems almost the natural thing to
expect. But that frame of mind does not
weaken the resolve TO continue the CAM
paign for the bridge another year, and to
keep on with this work until assent is given
for its construction. The practical need of
the structure grows each year and the SEN
timent for the memorial Is continually in
creasing in both sections. Some day they
will both become too great to be further ig-
nored and then at last the work of years
will be crowned with success.
