rural districts, which the Conservatives
control, have a representation in the
Reichstag out of all proportion to the
numbers of their voters.
The remarkable gains, which, even
from the present returns, it is evident
that the Socialists have made, must be
attributed to the fact that, since the
recent transformation OF their pro-
gramme they should be described as
Democrats rather than as Socialists
1t is the Reputation of the ideas of KARI.

consent of others to postpone the advo-

Cardinal Vaughan.

Cardinal VAUGHAN, who died at Lon.
don on Friday night, had been at the head
of the Roman Catholic Church in Eng
land for ten years, and during that time
he had witnessed notable growth OF his
faith in that country and had contributed
to it by the ability and sagacity of his
administration and OF his intellect and
temperament.
Archbishop VAUGHAN succeeded Cardi-
nal MANNING in the See Of Westminster
in 1892, and the next year was created
a Cardinal Unlike MANNING and NEW
MAN, however, both of whom passed
over to Rome from Anglicanism, he was
always Roman Catholic, and, after hay
ing received his education at the Catholic
College at Stoneyhurst, was ordained
priest in 1854. Three years before had
occurred the ordination of DR.. MANNING
to the Roman priesthood after having
been leader of the High Church
party in Anglcansm up to ls4s. In
1S45 DR.. NEWMAN had passed over to
Roman Catholicism from a place OF
leadership in the Oxford Movement, OF
which the present Ritualism is a conse-
quence.
Cardinal VAUGHAN belonged to the
aristocratic circle Of English Catholics,
and his disposition as an ecclesiastic was
not conciliatory. He was always I'M
compromising in his allegiance to his
Church and it's doctrine. The attempt
of Anglican Ritualists to get a footing
for negotiations for union with Rome by
obtaining Papal recognition of the valid
ity of their ministerial orders received
no countenance from him. He de-
manded, as his Church demands, abso-
lutte submission to the Papacy, and would
yield nothing to the Ritualists, in whose
ability, under any circumstances, to
carry with them to Rome any consider
able part Of their followers he never had
any faith. He would have them come
in no other way than that followed by
NEWMAN and MANNING, or by individual
conversion and submission.
Compared with these two great Eng
lish Cardinals, Cardinal VAUGHAN must
be put on lower intellectual level, but
he was OF great strength Of character
and bold in the positions he took and
maintained. He has died at a time
when the Rtualist movement in tho
Church of England has gone so far
Romeward in it's essential doctrine and
spirit that the revolt of Anglican Prot
estantism against it has become bitter;
but meanwhile the Roman Catholic
Church seems to be steadily strength
ening it's position in England, for the
very reason that it refuses to recognize
any priestly authority in Ritualism. 1t
may be said, therefore, that the uncom-
promising policy of Cardinal VAUGHAN,
though often criticised. has been practi-
cally successful. Moreover, it has had
the unreserved support of the Vatican.

The importance Of the action begun in
the Seventh Municipal District Court last
week by the city for the recovery Of penal-
ties from a tenement house owner for
failure to comply with the terms Of the new
Tenement House law will be realized when
1t is borne in mind that the citys success
will determine that the excellent sections
Of the law requiring sanitary appara-
tus on each floor in tenement buildings
are to be upheld. The Tenement House
law required that all old-fashioned court
yard sinks should be removed from tsne-
ment houses by Jan. Of this year, and that
modern appliances on each floor be SUBJ
stituted therefor. The owners Of tens-
ment houses generally have combined to
resist the law on the ground that the sinks
condemned therein were legally erected
and maintained and that the State had no
right to pass a retroactive measure Of this
sort In the case now on trial the city
seeks to collect . penalty Of $3.50, and tho
action will be test OF the oonstitutionality
Of the law. Whatever the outcome in
Justice JosEPH's court may be, the higher
tribunals must pass upon the question be-
fore 1t lie authoritatively settled.

Going Hatless at Newport :.

With the deepest interest students Of
manners have noted the introduction
among the young women at Newport
Of the custom of going bareheaded. 1t
has long been suspected that the wear
ing of the hat was a sign of mental and
physical degeneracy in the entire human
race. There are even persons Of sound
habits who hold that the wearing Of GER
tain kinds of hats in company with GER
tain sorts OF coats-as, for example, a
pot hat with frock coat or high hat
with dinner Jackets manifestation
of depravity beyond federation. Our
best society long ago resolved to exclude
order 1t will now be in order to thrust
all such as wear hats at any time without
the pale as persons Of ill-aired ideas.
1t is matter of historical record that
the most successful people that ever
lived, namely, the Romans. were not
addicted to the stuffy-brained habit of
hat wearing. With their bucklers OF
brass and their short swords OF fine steel
they swept the map Of the Eastern hemis-
phere from the three parts of all Gaul
to the Dardanelles, and from the Libyan
deserts beyond Carthage to Charing
Cross with their curly locks streaming
to the winds, so that as their sandalled
feet smote the everlasting rocks their
sublime heads wagged among the stars
When the Roman began his descent
OF the hill of degeneration, so graphically
described in the numerous pages Of Mr..
GIBBoN, he began habitually to wear
hat, and by the time he had been trans
formed into cheap imitation OF himself
In the shape of mediRval Italian, he
could not venture out doors without one.
History narratcs with averted face the
doings of his decadent years, his years
of hathood. Time was when he went
bareheaded and the world was his; now
he wore a cross between pie pan and
a stove pipe, and there was none so poor
as to do him reverence. About the
same time some purist invented the GUS
tom of taking off the hat in the presence
OF a woman in order to prove that one
was really man.
Yet somewhere back in those de-
generate days there dwelt an inward
sense of unworthiness, for from some
mysterious source has como down to lis
the expression As mad as halter"
Misguided persons have supposed that
this referred TO the maker OF hats. But
why should he be held up rs the synonym,
the very paragon OF madness? If he
was mad, he had method, for by the
making of hats he earned himself roof
under which he might rest his own head
latlcss. IT was not he TO whom the
saying referred. Halter means one
who hats" of course, not necessarily
others. but himself. The hot-brained
wearer OF the stuffy hat, he it was who
was mad, while his uncovered forebears
ruled the world.

century and a quarter, l25 years,
has not been time enough for the Ameri-
can public to appreciate Valley Forge to
the extent of establishing fitting memo
rial of WASHINGTON long winter there
during the Revolution. The l25th an
niversary Of that deadly trial was
celebrated on Thursday, and now it
is announced that the project of making
the site of WASHINGTON camp into a
public park is sufficiently developed to
promise that it is to be accomplished.
The traditions about no spot in the
United States are more worthy Of preser-
walton than those that distinguish Valley
Forge. At the same time, the country
should be explored for places where mon
uments to its birth and the bloody
services that attended it should DO but
are not.
There cannot be too many reminders
Of WASHINGTON and the men Of his time.
