Scotland's Burning.

Savannah Press.
 Tkn Savannah Press would call for Cle~eland If the world was on hre- Dublin Times.
 The hour when the world needs great men Is in time of stress and strom Politi- clans look out for an available man on ordinary occasions. linen who control;" but when the nation is in danger; when as The Dublin Times says, ''the world is on fire" the country needs a mana man of backbone and principle, a man, if you please, stronger than his party. When the Republican party had become arro- gant and corrupt and the cry was. turn the rascalS out" the people called on a brave. simple clean man who had made a good sheriff, fine mayor, and an ac- ceptable Governor. They elected him to office, to which no other member of his party had been elected in twenty-eight years. Again, eight years later. when the people were being robbed by the eX actions of tn Mckinley tariff, they re- elected the same man to the White House. When the national credit was threatened and the stability of the public currency was attacked, this man stood like aS one wall against fanaticism and upheld the public honor. Now once more when cor ruption is rampant in the departments and a strenuous and riotous diplomacy is triumphant in tho State Department, many people look to Grover Cleveland again. Some say he could not be nomi- mated. He says he doesn't want the nomination. but the petition which goes up from the people for Grover Cleveland Is natural. The demand is urgent like a house afire-"Scotland's burntg!"

 As for outside denunciation and oppo- sition. it will simply bring Americans of every shade of opinion together in ac- equation of the accomplished fact and in support of the administration. But later on the people at the polls-or perhaps the delegates at the Republican Conven- tion next June-wil render a verdict upon the wisdom of President Rooseveitss ss course and either indorse it or condemn 1t as that of shortsighted, reckless and unsafe executive.

Pinnos and Nervousnea.

An eminent Berlin nerve specialist, who had his attention attracted to the chronic nervousness of many pianists, has been studying the plano from the pathoiogical whom he examined, each of them had be- gun to study the plano under 14 years of age, no less than 800 had some nervous malady, while out of the 1000 who had never studied the instrument only loo were afflicted. The specialist, therefore, has promulgated the theory that no child should be allowed to learn the piano be fore the age of 16.

 The Advertiser says that when William R. Hearst gets to be President he ought to make the editor of The Times consul general to Panama. or give him some oth- CT good position. The editor of The Times has already made up his mind to go to one or the other ends of the big ditch when work begins, start paper and get in on the ground floor. We are not sup porting MT. Hearst with any expectation of office, but if he should be President and the editor of The Advertiser wants to come down to Panama on a visit when we are consul general, the latch-string is on the outside.
