The spoilsmen in Congress, of course, have
great contempt for this reform. But the de-
mand for it is not confined to the doctrinaires

scorn. The business interests OF the country
want consular reform. They are awakened as
never before, not only to the possibility, but TO
the need of foreign trade. They must have II
not merely for an outlet for increasing produc-
tion but to give steadiness TO commerce and
avoid the ups and downs incident TO limited
market area which can be controlled by one set
of conditions. These business interests when
they have really made their earnestness known

not secure the reform in the next Congress they
may still be confident of winning in the end,
provided they continue to demand better facili-
ties for foreign trade.

ONE SUPREME POWER.

few wears ago there was a man named
Debs. Eugene V Debs Probably some Of those
who are interested in the morbid pathology of
the social organism will remember him. lie
advised his followers to buy guns. He also
tried to stop domestic commerce and the carry
ing of the mails until all men who worked on
railroads, and all men who owned or operated
railroads, should say thumbs up whenever he
said thumbs up" In pursuance of this am
bilious plan Of campaign he became the head
of a vast rebellion against law and order and
then proposed to treat for peace with the Presi-
dent of the United States as one sovereign
might with another His followers called him
"the President" as they also spoke of the Presi-
dent of the United States, and suggested that
1.-The two Presidents should get together and
settle the trouble
President" DebS did not prevail. The Amer
ican Government and the American nation de-
cided, and enforced the decision, that in all
matters affecting the integrity of the Union, the
transaction Of public business and the uphold
ing of lawful authority there was only one
President, and his name was not Debs.
At the present time certain considerable num-
Der of men murmuring against certain laws
of the United States, and have been talking about
going on strike against them. They are citizens
of the United States and therefore bound to
respect IlOSe laws. Iney are euplOyeS Ol tue
United States, and therefore in a peculiar sense
bound to respect them. But they are also men,
bers of an organization of their own devising.
1t has a constitution and laws which seem to
conflict somewhat with the Constitution and
laws OF the United States. Thereupon these
men intimate that the latter must be sacrificed
to the former. They will respect the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States as far as
they are compatible with those of their own
organization. Bet when there is a conflict be-
tween the two. they must stand by the constitu-
ton and laws of their own organization and bid
those of the mere United States go hang.
We do not think their theory of citizenship
and loyalty will prevail. There was no "arbi-
tration between the two Presidents" in 1894,
but the one President, of the United States,
maintained his ground, and the other "Presi-
dent" went under and out Of sight. There can
be no arbitration between "the two constitu-
tions" In 1903. The Constitution and laws of the
United States must be maintained, and all con-
| stitutions laws, DEGREES ukases, hats and what
not that conflict with them must give way or
| get smashed into everlasting smithereens

NE. CORTELYOU,s ORDER.

The overcrowded excursion boat usually at
tracts attention when an accident has happened
or when a disaster has been narrowly averted
Then people speak about violated regulations
and Of the failure on the part of officials to en-
force the law. After few days the incident is
forgotten, and the excursion steamer, over
crowded as before resumes its trips. This
criminal practice has been brought to the atten-
ton of Secretary CortelyOu who has issued
special order to the steamboat inspectors in
which the rigid enforcement of the regulations
is called for.
The regulations have existed for long time
but the men who had charge Of excursion boats
running on the rivers and lakes and along the
Atlantic coast have always found room for
one more,' no matter how crowded the steam
ers may have been, and this was done because
the officials winked at the abuse The reckless
ness of owners and the blindness of inspectors
were in conspicuous evidence at the time of the
last international yacht races, and it was prob
ably with view to prevent a recurrence of the
scenes of recklessness of that season that the
order of Secretary COrtelyOu was issued. The
masters of excursion steamers undoubtedly re-
alize that the order from the Department Of
Commerce is not a matter Of form, but that it
means the beginning of a new era in the excur-
sion business, and that the day when there's
always room for another on an excursion boat
is over.
When the regulations are enforced a great
source of danger viii have been removed, and
men will "go down to the sea in ships with a
greater feeling of security than they felt in the
days Of the deaf and blind inspectors.

CONSULAR REFORM.

The United States consular service has been
greatly improved in recent years, but ii is still
far from being a perfect instrument for the de-
velopment of our foreign commerce. The old idea
that consulate is a convenient berth for pOliti-
cal workers to a considerabl extent still holds
sway, and the Offices especially those which are
largely remuneTatiye, are almost always be-
slowed as political rewards. The Lodge bill for
reorganiZing the consular service was pressed
In the last Congress, but the influence of the
spoilsmen great enough to defeat it. The
advocates of the reform are not discouraged.
The National Business League is making an
active campaign TO arouse interest in the mat
ter, is seeking any information which may
lead to the still further perfection of the meas
ure and win have it introduced in both houses
at the first session of the LVIIIth Congress-

sated wholly by salaries, and the consular fees

suIs general of the first class may receive
$4,000 each, eight of the second class $4,000
each thirteen Of the third $4,000 each and thir-
teen of the fourth $500 each. The salaries Of
consus viii range from $1,000 to S1,SOO a year.
Certain minor cOnSulS who are to be paid by
fees not exceeding $1,000 a year are excepted
from the provisions Of the bill All vacancies

THE LAFAYErrB BOULEVARD.

1,bero is tho rsusl difference Of opinion over
the manner of widening the so-caled LaIaye''e
Boulevard Pretty much all seem 10 pe asieou
upon the desirability of widening II 10 Tue vi
mensions of a first class street. out eacn in"ii

the east side of il insist that sense JuStice anu
the Declaration of independence require tna'

from the property on the west slde' While 'ne
west siders with equal feTvOr call upon reasoh,
logic and the Monroe Doctrine to witness tnat
tbe only proper widening must be done on the
east side.
The merits of this controversy 90 not cOhceIh
+be general public. They may safely be left 10
scholastic metaphysicians and the disciples OF
tho Higher Criticism. What is manifest ana
of direct concern to the general public is the
need of widening the thOr0ughfare In quesuon.
II should be widened considerably from eno
to end, so as>t correspond in amplitude WIN
Riverside Drive of which it is practically a
northward continuation, and with upper Bfoad-
wav. with which it is also connected. Inere
should be no halfway work about IL. IL shoulu
be made as wide as the widest or our avenues
and be graded and paved in q manner worthy
of what is destined to be one Of the most I'M
portant highways on Manhattan Island we
NAV add that the work should be done prompt
lv before changed conditions made 1t more
expensive.
It might be well, too, while the Lafayette
boulevard is still so new a street to fix upon 1t
better form of designation than that which
now prevails 1t is fitting to name it for La
fayette of whom we are never likely to have
too many memorials but 1t is not well to call
it a boulevard" That is an alien term, which
should not be imposed upon our thoroughfares.
LAFAYETTE Drive would be better, harmonizing
with Riverside Drive; or Lafayette-ave., in
agreement with most of the other broad thor
oughfares of the city; or, If put under park con-
troll as it might we'll be, Lafayette Parkway,
in correspondence with the fine system of park
ways in The Bronx and the still finer system in
Brooklyn. Any of these would be decidedly
preferable to boulevard"
These things DONE the proposed Henry Hud-
son Bridge should be constructed, connecting
this avenue directly with Riverdale-ave. in The
Bronx and the latter should be similarly
Yonkers line. Beyond that line Riverdale-ave
has been given up to the uses of trolley line,
q grievous wrong, for which YOnkers and not
New-York is responsible. That evil can proba-
bly, not be undone. But at least this city can
see to it that the trolley is never permitted to
cross the line and ruin the New-York end Of
that lovely thoroughfare, and it can, through
such harmonious development as we have sug-
gested, make for itself from Seventy -secOndst.
to Yonkers the finest riverside parkway and
drive and residence avenue in the world.

MONT PELEES OBELISK.

Were less reputable person to tell the story
about Mont Pel6e which Professor Angelo
Heiprin gave to Philadelphians a few days
ago, ii would be received with scepticism. This
well known geoIogist has just returned from a
two months visit to Martinique, and he de-
scribes recent changes in the volcano which de-
stroyed the city Of st. Pierre. From the crater
at the summit he says, has been forced upward
a column $40 feet high and about 300 feet
through at the base. A small portion of the
movement here recorded was observed by Pro-
fessor Heilprin himself. Within four days there
was an elevation of twenty-one feet At that
time, however, the process of extrusion was ap-
parently going on more slowly than before, and
perhaps was nearly ended. There then stood
in the small basin of the crater mass twice
as high and four times as thick as the Wash
ington Monument
For what he regards a practically UNIQUE
phenomenon in the history of volcanoes Pro
fessor Heilprin offers a partial explanation He
attributes it to the same internal stresses which
elsewhere force out molten lava. In this in
stance, he thinks, the material had had a chance
10 cool sufficiently to be solid when it emerged
Credible as is this suppositon, il does not an
swer all OF the questions which suggest them
selves. Why, for instance, has the direction of
the movement been so nearly vertical? Why
did not the mass lean over like the tower of
Pisa? How long had the outward manifesto
ton been going on? And how long will it con-
tinue? To the last of these problems the Phila-
deIphia geologist replies that time only can tell
Between the gradual and possibly quiet man
ner in which this development has occurred and
the explosive effects observed at Pelee last year
one cannot fail to notice contrast 1t will he
remembered, too, that no lava at all was elected
in 1902. Only ashes, rocks. steam and gas were
reported then. Still, even if it did not reach the
surface at that time, it is not unlikely that there
had been a yelling up of lava from low levels
in the earth's crust. To the meeting of such
substance, intensely heated, with a supply Of
water is commonly assigned the sudden and
awful violence of volcanic eruptions want
of harmony in observed facts might possibly be
accounted for if the scene OF greatest activity
were we'll below the surface
