rally raises the old question OF the ulti-
mate adoption of universal language, 70
be used by all the commercial nations.
English Is now much more widely en-
p1oyed than ever before, and as the tongue
of trade has In some parts of the worlo
displaced the languages of the SOIL.
French which was once the usual medium
of communication in distant parts. Is less
used for that purpose. On the continent
of Europe 1T Is still the customary me-
dunn among those OF differing nationals
ties. But Germany's repugnance to the
study OF French has seriously set back
the tendency to employ that tongue. and
the German people are being educated
widely in the use Of English as trade
speech.
A universal tongue. say some linguists,
must be an artificial product of the phflo-
logical laboratory. Volapuk was at one
time a bidder for this purpose, but was
regarded merely as cumbersome Curl
osity and dropped. Now devised speech
called 'esperanza" Is being exploited, a
German invention. It IS chiefly designed
to facilitate correspondence between per-
sons Of different nationalities and Ian
guage. Judging from the rapid extension
of the use of English. there is less likeli-
hood Of the adoption of "esperanza" or
any other devised tongue than Of the
agreement Of the nations to use one of
the already established tongues to facili-
tate commercial dealings.

The Trials of an Alderman.

yyben Seth Low was running a second
time for mayor of New York. and the Tam
many combination against him was strong
and determined to wrest the control of the
CITY from the fusionists, several aldermanic
nominations were made by the latter of
character to win general admiration. one
of these nominees, who allowed himself 10
be drawn into the turmoil for the sake or
his interest in the fusion cause, was General
Daniel E. Sickles. He was elected by
good majority, and while Mayor Low was
defeated the generals candidacy undoupt-
edly helped somewhat to lessen the Tam
many majority. SO General Sickles Joined
the board of aldermen and has since at
tended its meetings with a commendable
regularity considering his years and the
other demands upon his time. But there Is
one feature of the Office that has proved a
serious annoyance to him. He does not rel
ish being the object Of solicitous attention
ON the part of those residents in his district
who have favors to ask. The alderman Is
usually an important parsonage. and what
he says goes fairly far. 1t is said that the
favor seekers of the Sickles district are
feeling somewhat peevish over the general s
failure to appreciate that the Office carries
many perquisites. For instance, it Is In his
power to indorse or refuse to indorse the
applicati tons of bootblacks to maintain
stands within the stoop-line. privilege Of
value and eagerly sought. What the alder
man decides usually governs. Several Ital-
ian artists in this line of decoration were
recently hailed to court, charged with g. lack
of the proper papers, and their defense was
that they had not been able to locate Cen
eral Sickles. although they had tried for
weeks. He was never Eat home" to them.
His servants would not answer the bell
when they rang. Indeed. of late the bell
had been removed. What was poor boot
black to do? The magistrate gave the pris-
oners four days to find the alderman. Thus
do the responsibilities of office bear upon
the great. Probably General Sickles will
hesitate long about venturing again into a
campaign for an Office which carries so
many duties

The Philadelphia Record is Of opinion
that IF Roosevelt should revert to Roose
velt-the unspoiled Roosevelt whom Quay
and Platt sought to hide and smother In
the folds Of the vice presidency-the stand
patters might get a dose of tariff reform
and the spoilsmongers a civil service re-
form bolus that would make the political
pot boil again. And he stands pledged to
a square DEAL"
But If the President is such man as the
Record suggests "a square DEAL Is impos-
sible from him. For here we have repeated
the charge Of Carl Schurz that there are
two Roosevelts-the one a man of high
ideals and lofty sentiments, and the other
a man of low practices, willing to sacr1-
flee everything for Office and power. If
the President has been playing game, If
now that he has been elected with the as
sistance of the stand-patters and the
Quays and Platts his pleasure is to bring
ABOUT their particular discontinue. he will
not be giving either them or the country or
himself "a square deal" And his promise
is of "a square deal for everybody.
The good fortune Of his party and the
country is that there are not two Roose-
velts He is a single and singularly d.
rect Individual. And he is not the product
of any politician or set of politicians. The
politicians did not seek ito hide and
smother him "in the folds OF the vice
presidency" They did not want him to
have even that office. He was as distinctly
the peoples choice for that place as he has
since been for the first place. The polltl-
clans accepted him at Philadelphia In 19oO
because they were obliged to. Objection IN
the light of the public sentiment displayed
was out of the question. And since them
as we all know, the President has been TOO
strong for his opponents in both parties.
But. strong as he undoubtedly Is, the
President must have his party behind MIN
IL he is to achieve the ends to which both
he and it are pledged. He would serve
the cause neither Of tariff revision nor OF
civil service reform by splitting his party
wide open on the very threshold OF his
administration, and turning to the oppo-
sition for support. He must find a way.
and doubtless will, for carrying FORWARD
his policies by the aid Of those who, like
himself, were Endorsed by the people at
the polls on the Sth instant. His difficulties
are to some extent being magnifed by his
enemies. They are not nearly so great as
described, and should not severely tax a
man of his experience and resources.
