A Policy and the Text of q Rule.

The various explanations Of the Presi-
dents policy with regard to gifts are con-
fusing and In some cases contradictory
US they appear in different newspaper
dispatches. They are all unofficial. They
are all unnecessary. The policy was de-
fined with perfect clearness in the letter
from Private Secretary LOEB which fol-
lowed the flag on it's return to Miss MARIE
CosTEAU in Boston:
Il beg to state that while the President greatly
appreciates your courtesy in sending him the en-
closure which You forwarded, he has felt obliged
to adopt rule which precludes him from accept
ing q present from any one"
From any one There is no ambiguity
here. There is no discrimination be-
tween strangers and personal friends,
individuals and corporations, horse
breeders, saddlemakers and steam rail-
way companies.
This is the official version of the Presi-
dents new rule of personal conduct, and
ii is the only official version.

concurrence of the House. House Docu-
ment No. 40, Fifty-seventh Congress,
tirst session. publishes this letter. The
persistent filibustering of the closing
days Of the session resulted in inaction
upon the matter Of the Cuban accounts.
The Congressional Record of March II
shows a Senate resolution by which IL
was unanimously agreed that the manu-
script copies of Cuban receipts and ex-
penditures be returned 10 the War De-
partment. There they now are, careiully
filed and quietly reposing in the archives
of the Insular Department. They are
available for any one who has the time
and the patience to support his desire to
review them.
We learn that it is the intention OF the
Department again to transmit them to
Congress, at the coming session, ana
once more to urge their publication. As
this can only be regarded as an emil
nently praiseworthy ambition, we give 1t
our cordial support and approval. and
add to that our commentator Of the
Department for its earlier efforts to give
publicity to these important documents.
1t is a matter which, for our national
honor, calls for prompt attention.

Mr.. Carne gie's Monuments.

The Brooklyn Public Library's esti-
mate of its expenses for 1904 as sub
mitted to the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, includes a request for
500, $50 for five Carnegie libraries which
should be open to the public by Aug. 1
Of next year.
Two of the libraries. named Bedford
and Williamsburg, will take the places
Of libraries already established. The
others, known as Pacific, Greenpoint
and Dekalb, are entirely new, and will
have to he stocked with books The
officers of the Brooklyn Public Library
remind the Board of Estimate that MIR.
CARNEGlE's contract with the city calls
for an annual appropriation of city
money of not less than 10 per cent. Of
tho cost of the Libraries. This is for
maintenance.
Because the libraries will not be open
more than five months in 1904. only
five-twelfths Of the annual mainte-
nance cost will be necessary next year.
OF this money $4,000 is to be spent
for books for the three brand-new
libraries and $4,000 for salaries for the
five Libraries. II costs good deal to
care for books for five months.
Mr.. CARNEGIE's Brooklyn monuments
will cost the taxpayers only little
next year, but the price will grow higher
annually.

Lcguminaria

The ardor and enthusiasm born Of
vegetable diet are wonderful. Judge
EDWARD WALLACE CoNABLE, who
founded a vegetarian colony in Ros-
well. COL, a few years ago, has bought
5000 acres Of land near Rogers, Ark, and
is going to establish there q new para
disc of NEBuCHADNEzzAR. Judge Con-
ABLE is q Pathfinder. His sect, num-
boring some 1900 persons, il he counts
straight, believes that "GoD IL the uni
versal life force that permeates every
living thing and that ut is possible for
man so to perfect himself physically as
to come into absolute harmony with the
soul and live eternally in the flesh" The
Pathfnders are vegetarians, pantheists
and perfectionists. They expect to stay
in Rogers, Ark, till the last trumpet.
In Rogers there will be no butchers
and no doctors, If you are i'll in Rogers,
you will fast till you get we'll. Animals,
fowls, fish will positively not be admitted.
The man who swears or chews or eats
a cooked breakfast will be driven out
of paradise. Judge CoNABLE eats no
breakfast.
The founder reports unusual activity
in the sale of his blocks Of stock Thus
financial perfection may accompany
physical perfection. But what is this
rule forbidding the lovers Of the plants
in the Arkansaw paradise?
The man who looks upon woman and loves
her At sight Is doomed to everlasting disgrace"
And these misguided grass-eaters ex-
pect to stay in Rogers until GABRIEL
blows his horn! Five minutes there will
be too much.

Wants a Candidate Like MIR. Tracy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: 1t
would be we'll for those interested to feel the
pulse OF the people before jumping at the
conclusion that Mayor Low will be supported
by all those who gave him their support at
the last election for Mayor.
When canvassing in 1901 pro misses were
made. only to be broken inter election Was
this honest? Those broken promises will
not be forgotten when the time shall come
to cast the ballot
Every one remembers the vacillatng
policy Of the first year Of the present adj
ministration. The excise law remained un-
enforced, tho gambling houses were allowed
to run with little II any molestation, the
houses OF ill-repute were as many as under
Tammany administration. the police force
without backbone, was practically de-
moralized, and the cry that graft has been
paid and still is paid has never been denied.
The idea that Mayor Low must be renomi-
mated in order to vindicate his administration
is all nonsense, What good his administra-
ton has done needs no vindication. The
evil it has done cannot be indicated. neither
should 1t be perpetuated
Fusion. under the leadership of Mayor
Low. can hope only for defeat. Under the
leadership OF a man resembling Benjamin
F. Tracy, for example. no future event than
the election of such u man could be more
certai n. Let us have such man

Mr.. Hoar on Railroad FreiXhts.

Speaking at Republican meeting in
Salem last week Senator HoAR was bold
enough to intimate that even railroads
have some rights which the Government
ought to respect, and that they should
be allowed, in the main, to manage their
business. there is q general feeling,
he said, that II Boston ia to increase or
even retain its importance in our foreign
commerce there must be some revision
Of the Interstate Commerce act And
not revision for the sake of charging
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners, much and often az they
have pleaded for them:
81 believe that Congress and the general public
are coming to the opinion that TO require freights,
either on sea or on land. to be scaled In accordance
with distance is impracticable and unsclenttc. and
that. in general there should be no interference
with the right Of every carrier, by land or water.
to make his own contracts without being sub
jccted to any other authority. save only that the
owners of great public ways. whom the public has
intrusted with corporate powers and the right
OF eminent domain. shall not be controlled BY In
dviduals as TO give themselves separate, per
sonal and independent advantage over the rest Of
the public or over other stockholders in the same
concern.
One manufacturer In Boston or Worcester
ought not to be allowed by reason Of his owner
ship in a railroad. to get an advantage by which
he shall drive his manufacturing competitors out
OF business. When that Is secure there is not much
left for the Government to do In the way Of inter
ference with contracts. Railroad frcights may
safely be left. in general, to the discretion and the
interest OF the railroad management. think the
experience OF the past few years is bringing the
country TO the conclusion that In general such
things arc best left to the operation Of the laws Of
trade
After sixteen years Of the Interstate
Commerce act such. is the opinion OF
this veteran Republican leader. Such,
he believes, is coming to be the general
opinion. And why not' Laws for the
regulation of railroads can be made,
revised and unmade; but the laws Of
trade stand unrepealable.

be injured, too. A tariff not for protec-
ton, not for revenue. but to bust trusts.
An economic curiosity.
The second fight" against the trusts is
-the limiting Of the capitalization Of all
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce strictly to the value Of the prop
erty invested" That is, the Federal
Government is to be grand regulator Of
such corporations and appraiser of val
ues, and the principle Of careat enptor is
to be abrogated in the case Of buyers Of
the stocks and bonds of corporations
engaged in interstate commerce. Here
Mr.. CLARKE is at one with that eccentric
Republican statesman, Governor LA
FoLLErrE Of Wisconsin. It used to be
the rudimentary Democratic principle
that the power Of the Federal Govern
ment should be limited not increased.
Mr.. CLARKE belongs to another school,
the Populistic- Socialistic
Mr.. CLARKE IL sufficiently impractical
and radical to deserve Mr.. BRYANs
cooperation.

A queer illustration OF the advantages Of
a thorough knowledge Of shorthand was
that afforded the other day in Cincinnati
by BENIN PITAAN, an author Of shorthand
text books and brother of the late Sir
ISAAC PIrMAN who was Familiarity called
the Father Of Photography.
A woman claiming to have suffered in
human treatment at the hands of her hus-
band fed to Mr.. PITNAN's house for pro-
lection. The husband followed her, and
in his wrath proceeded to assail his spouse
with torrent Of unseemly epithets quite
unknown to the stenographers dictionary.
But the performer in pothooks was equal
to the occasion. Drawing notebook from
his pocket as unconoernedly as il he were
about to record speech of President RoosE-
WELT or of Bishop POTTER, Mr.. PITMAN
made, as they say. crayon portrait Of the
language Of the irate pursuer.
A day or two afterward the author Of
this unique record produ ced it in court and
read his notes to the Judge in the presence
of the prisoner. AT this the latter pro-
tested wildly, and swore the whole thing
was false. Whereupon Mr.. PITMAN re-
piled: Il cannot be mistaken. The re-
port was taken verbatim"
We hope this little incident will not in
sp!re women generally to study shorthand
with the idea Of getting square" with their
husbands, present or future Stenography
is useful, but in the hands Of one who is not
an expert it may "lie like trooper It is
possible for one misplaced stroke OF the
stenoerapher's pencil in case similar to that
described in Cincinnati to consign an inno-
cent, il ll-tempered husband to the life

The Ten-BilIlon-DOllar Idea

In his annual report on pensions, Com
missioner WARE does something which
we do not remember that any of his
predecessors has done He separates the
civil war pensions from other pensions
in stating the aggregate paid on this &C.
count up to date. Thus the pension cost
of the war for the Union appears clearly
as distinct item.
1t is this: s2,s7S, 2lO, 400.
Ten years ago, in the spring OF 1898,
The Sun computed at 81, 49, ,lss,5OO the
civil war pension expenditure up to that
time. The estimate is now shown to
have been pretty nearly accurate. II
in error either way, it was wrong IN
the way Of understatement rather than
overstatemcnt
Since then the enormous total has
about doubled. An annual expenditure
of STAG, 900 900 or whereabouts for ten
years would produce this result
Another years appropriations will
carry the total beyond the three-billion-
dollar mark.
Now let us make one simple ana
striking comparison:
The first cost of waging the war for
the preservation Of the Union, counting
only the current expenses and excluding
bounties other than Federal, private
contributions, war claims Of various
sorts and the interest on the war debt,
was s3,144975,OS7, according to our
arithmetic.
This next sessions pension bill and
that Of the year succeeding are all that
is necessary to make the pension account
since the war equal the stupendous total
Of the original war expenditure.
twas -billion-dolar war; roughly
stated, it has cost three billions for
fighting expenses, three billions for debt
interest, three billions for pensions, and
perhaps billion more in other forms.
Ten billions for an idea, but the idea
was worth all it cost.
