KRONG RRATH.

Mrs. Kate Trimble woolsey doeth not well to be angry, and she doetb not well to show her anger as she did in the letter which she has sent to Presi- dent Roosevelt denouncing the attitude of the United States towards women. In her letter Mrs. Woolsey asserts that the President has never mentioned wo- men or attributed anything good to them in any of his speeches on the tours he has been making through the country, and asks him to point out to her anything that womankind has gain ed by forsaking a monarchical form of government for the American republic. She also asks why he. the disciple of the strenuous life, has never taken up the cudgels for woman and given her her proper place in public affairs of the nation. Tt is masculine, all mascu- line,' declares Mrs. Woolsey, "and a place of honor for women Is not any where found in the fabric of the Amer ican nation
 No place of honor for women in the fabric of the American nation? Is there any nation in which women have such honor, such freedom and such opportu- mites?

SOME HAPPY THOUG HTS.

An interesting suggestion is made by a western doctor. He thinks that peo- pie don't start right in this world, and that in order to start right they need 8 surgical operation. The vermiform ap- pendix, he says, should be removed from all children soon after they are born, It has been proved, he points out, that the human body can get along all right without the appendix. and it's removal right at the start would elimi- nate the danger of an attack of appen- dicitis in after life. And he might have added, in view of the way things have been going lately, that as long as one is pretty sure to have his or her vermi- form appendix removed it is just as well to have it done first as last.
 This Inspiring suggestion has given t rise to another which seems to be al- most equally valuable. This is that the tonsils ought to be removed from every child. Probably other similar suggestions will be made, and perhaps by and by there will be general effort made to start children off without any drawbacks, How would it do to cut their precious little heads off so that they might escape all danger of brain disease?

THE CLEVELAND BOOM.

This Cleveland business is becoming decidedly interesting. MT. Cleveland may not he a candidate for another nomination, but there can be no doubt that many are trying to have him non1- mated. He has returned from the West
 to Princeton and he has been inter
 viewed by Herald reporter. He de- clined to discuss politics or to say any, thing about the future of the Democ- racy or the outlook for 1904. MT, Cleveland" the interviewer ventured' "it is generally understood that you are very happy in the quiet home life of your retirement here in Princeton, and by some it is doubted whether you would care to surrender these joys of private life for return into the whirl of politics, even should the call come for you to do so?" MT. Cleveland i waved his hand deprecatingly, and then ! he replied: ''It is true that I am very happy here" He did not add, however, that a new summons to duty would find him unwilling to heed the call. 1 It is noticeable that the mention of
 MT. Cleveland's name doesn't excite the hostility it once did, but of course his ancient and helpful enemies are not all dead or indifferent. The Hartford
 Times shrewdly says of the talk against him: Some of us cannot help relnem-
 bering that in 1892, and before that year, there were many leading members
 of his own party who talked against Mr.
 Cleveland very much as great num-
 ber of politicians are talking against him now, and the curious thing hap pened that the more they talked against
 him the more anxious the masses seem- ed to be to vote for him.
 Nothing more interesting than the Cleveland boom has been seen in this
 country in a long time. It looks pre- posterous but time will tell. If Cleve'
 land and Bryan could be put on the
 same ticket there would be something worth seeing.

HUMORs OF A GREAT DAY.

The Undignified Experiences of the
 Dignitaries at St. Louis.
 The hurlyburly rush, like a football push through the center, with which te secret service men, President Nich- olas Murray Butler and number of other distinguished bentlemen in their ranks pushed the president through the thousands was in itself excitement enough for one day.
 It landed him on the little platform out over the great floor, five times as large as that of Madison Square Gar den. There were, following rusnes headed by police officers. One of them brought ex-President Cleveland, smil- ing, philosophically, in onits crest; an- other landed Senator Hama, Commis- sioner Thomas H. Corter and President Francis came in on another.
 President Roosevelt and MT. Cleve- land got into corner and were seated. A new wave of humanity broke and Secretary Root stepped out of it.

 Make way for the governor of New York state" howled a volunteer mas ter of ceremonies. Nobody made way. If deliberate effort had been made to belittIe the chief executive of the state of New York more to that end could not have been accomplished than has been done at St Louis since he got here. There was nothing left for the governor except to butt in. He did. He squeezed in between the secret ser vice men and discovered somewhat to his surprise, apparently, that no seat was there for him.
 Governors sit on the floor" an- nounced an anonymous voice.
 Governor Odell, who seemed some what dazed by the way things were going, promptly sat on the floor be- tween the feet of Secretary Root and MT. Hanna. General Corbin got in.

It was Uni- ation of ndependencetarian statesman tartan statesman who wrote the Declar- ation of Independence. It was not popular measure with the Tories. It was 8 meddling fanatic of a Unitarian who conceived the scheme called civil service reform, and with characteristic effrotery got up society for the pur- was hard on the people who profited by the spells system. Joseph Tuckerman, and those who succeeded him in the work of scientific charity, broke up the old comforts of pauperization, and in- sisted that able bodied men must work for living. Henry Bergh deprived folk of the pleasure of maltreating dumb animals. It was great deal easier to be a school teacher before Horace Mann lifted the standard of re- quirement. If Dr. Hale succeeds in getting the nations to- give up war and adopt arbitration, it will drive great many people out of trade. Everywhere these Unitarians have been disturbers of oId-time habits.
