Helen Kellar Day at St. Louis.

1t is indeed a significant fact that one day
was set apart at the St. Louis exposition in
honor of young woman whose demand
upon the attention of the world is based
upon the fact that she has achieved re-
markable scholastic triumphs despite her
physical afflction. Helen Kellar, who was
the center of interest at the great fair yes
terday, is more than an individual appeal
ing to the sympathies of people on the score
of her lost senses or to their admiration on
the score of her achievements. She stands
for the triumph of patient labors in behalf
of the blind and deaf. She has become an
institution rather than an individual For
years the people of this country have heard
of her. as a little girl upon whom a re-
markable educational experiment was being
tried, young woman of unusual mental
attachments, and now 9s a graduate of a
college for women possessing undeniable
literary gifts of high order. In the. old
days such a child as she would have been
merely pitied for her lost sight. hearing
and speech. although Laura Bridgman Is
still remembered as noteworthy exception
She would have developed into womanhood
a helpless dependent upon the affection OF
the charity of others. She is instead to-
day not only equipped with the means of
self-support and CT further intellectual ad-
vancement. but she is an example encour-
aging more assiduous efforts in the direc-
ton of assisting the similarly afiicted to
develop and become of use in the COM
munity.
The education ofpthe blind and deaf and
dumb has been rapidly developed in conse-
quence of the success of the experiments

The following comes from St. Louis:

The following comes from st. Louis:
Richard Garfield. who has one of the
finest art collections in America. is in st.
Louis and is registered at the Jefferson
Hotel. He is here to buy some of the fine
art at the worlds fair. and declares that
when he returns TO the metropolis he will
carry home some of the pictures which
have been attracting the attention of the
world
Mr.. Garfield is a gambler by profession.
His name is a top-liner in American sport

He is not man of education and is advised
in his art purchases. In the lingo of his
calling. he rolls 'em high i'm the matter

which We're undertaken in this case In
this city is established an institution for the
higher education of the deaf and DUMB,
which has won an enviable Lace among
the colleges of the United States Tor the
high standard of its scholarship. There is
also here established an Industrial institu-
ton for the blind, under charitable aus
pieces. With the example of Helen Kellar
before the world there is every reason for
continued hearty support of such enter
prises, whether of a public or a Semi-pri-
vate character. There is no longer any
doubt of the possibility of eauipping young
people thus afflicted for the practical work
of life. Avenues are opened to them in
many directions. Helen Kellar's success
has paved the way for others of perhaps
less eminent capabilities. and now that the
country has turned for brief period TO pay
a tribute to the young woman whose name
has become a household word greater ad-
va1ices than ever before may Possibly De
scored in this peculiar line of education and
training.

Senator Proctor's Reelection.

Neutrality-suspicious. glad to know of the
virtually unanimous reelection of Redfield
Proctor as a member of the Senate from
Vermont. He entered that body thirteen
years ago after having served from 1889
to 1891 as Secretary of War. He has been
a resident of Washington, indeed, for nearly
sixteen years, and this action of the YER
mont legislature ensures that he will re-
main half a dozen years longer at least. He
has always taken a deep interest in the
affairs of the capital and for some time
after he entered the Senate he served as a
member of the District committee of that
body. He was in the forefront of those
who strove to bring Washington up to the
mark as the seat of government, and even
after he retired from the District committee
movement to advance the material and the
artistic interests of the city. He has be-
come one of the substantial leaders of the
Senate. one of the men to whom such serv-
ice means an opportunity to accomplish re-
suits for good, and it is not to be doubted
that in the course of his third term as
senator he will always be found ready to
give the District its due and to forward the
day of its complete rescue from retarding
conditions. The people of Vermont are to
be congratulated upon their wisdom in thus
retaining in the Senate a man of broad ex-
perience and OF established prestige. That
Is the New England way, which has caused
the members of Congress from that section
to stand in the front rank, in both houses,
for many decades.

eoga has always been high, and Mr.. Can

toga has always been high, and Mr.. Can
field has catered to the best custom. His
establishments have been described as rich
in all their furnishings, and as very inviting
to those who have both time and the penny
and the disposition to try their luck. His
returns have probably been large, and. as
we may well believe, his patrons have been
paying his art as well as his other bills.
Come easy. go easy. is the way money is
addressed in the circles in which Mr. Can
field is shining light. Neither the artist
nor the auctioneer cares who Mr.. Garfield
is. or how or where he gets his money.
This case marks an advance in taste in
New York sporting circles since the time
of John Morrissey. After making his pile
on the green CLOTH that big bruiser-who
may be called the Garfield of that day
went in as a diversion for politics, and of
the toughest kind. A seat in Congress was
all the additional distinction he desired. OF
art he knew nothing, and for it cared less.
A cheap barrOom print of the Keenan,
Sayers match answered every demand of
his soul in the pictorial direction; and If
he descanted on that at all it likely was to
point out how accurately the dukes were
put up, and how well chosen the fighting
toys were. But the Morrissey of this day
must have real art, and his patrons enable
him to crafty his wishes.

The Logic of Restitution.

OF course Judge Parker's declaration in
behalf of an immediate declaration of in
dependence for the Philippines cannot be
construed as applying only to that archi-
pelago. He must be understood as pledging
himself and his party to policy of restora-
ton all along the line. There is Porto
Eico, for instance. That must be resigned
And Hawaii also. Mrs. Dominis will have
a claim to establishment by force of
American guns upon her throne And how
about Alaska? Is it not entitled to indie
pendence? That territory was purchased
without regard to the wishes of it's inha BIZ
tants. When once the nation begins the
restitution of areas acquired without the
consent of the inhabitants it must be con-
sistent.

Weinseimer Follows Parks.

Weinse1mer is to go the way of Sam
Parks. He Is the same sort of pest and
deserves the same fate. The uncoyerine
ana the conviction of such a man we may
all rejoice in. but the wage-earner above
everybody else. In the end he is the best
served OF all. He is freed from the machi-
nations of scoundrel, who operates in his
name and brings reproach upon organized
labor.
AS its interests increase and it's organi-
zation grows labor becomes more and more
liable to imposition at the hands of men
like Parks and Weinseimer They put on
Its uniform and employ it's language to
serve their own and not labor's purposes
AS the quack prates of the glory of medi-
cine the shyster of the dignity of the law
and the mountebank pulpiteer of religion Sc
the schemng agitatOr with an itching palm
is usually loudest in his expressions of de-
votion to labor and his excoriation of the
capitalist class. His voice is heard above
the greatest din that can be raised.
The aim is to attract attention Labor
Is to be treasured of it's champion, and CAPT.
tai directed to the Individual with whom
If 1t cares to negotiate for private terms, 1t
can do business That is the whole of it.
Not an idea even enters such a fellow S
'ANeANA
rs too busy thinking about his own inter-
ests. If the people against whom he daily
inveighs in public will but privately line his
jacket with their dollars he will sell by
the thousands the people for whom he is
protesting the greatest solicitude and af-
lection. AS a matter of fact, he cares not
a rap for either side, and for spot cash will
betray the one as readily as the other.
For this reason it is to the interests Of
both sides and of all sides that such men
when they disclose their ends should be
promptly handed over to the law for pun
ishment. The capitalist who does business
with them for the betrayal of labor be-
comes a party to their crime. He encour-
ages them in their base activities, and wild
ems the breach between labor and himself.
For once he buys such a creature he puts
himself in his power and is liable to an
assessment whenever graft elsewhere
happens to be difficult
AS usual, an appeal will be taken in
Weinseimer's case. but the verdict of guilty
first rendered is likely to be sustained.

The Ballot in Cuba,

A cable from Havana says:
THE audieneia of Santiago province has
condemned the members of The provincial
board of canvasserS to fourteen years and
eight months Imprisonment for fraud in
the recent elections"
These are pretty stiff sentences, but the
Cubans are wise in imposing them. AS we
have found out in this country at a very
heavy cost, the ballot box unless protected
most vigilantly becomes an ugly weapon.
INSCRIPTIONS men use it for INSCRIPTIONS
purposes, and with its aid prey upon the
public. The worst of our municipal evils
are the fruits of cheating at the polls By
such means disreputable men are installed
in office, and graft becomes the order of the
day. AS the twig is bent the tree inclines.
The Cubans are new in the business of self
government and If they are to hope to re-
main in the business to advantage they
must punish the election thieves.

District Day at the Fair.

This Is District of Columbia Day" at ST
Louis. The official heads of the District
government and many citizens of Washing
ton are there, conducting a program call
culated to let the country know that there
is a progressive public spirit here at the
capital Washington has a peculiar part in
all of these great fairs. 1t is the seat of
the government without whose aid they
could not exist 1t is in fact chiefly re-
sponsibe for the three expostions which
have been held during the past eleven years
under government auspices, for here was
first projected the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position OF 1893. For time there was a
prospect that the great gathering to COM
memorate the discovery of America by CO.
lumbus would be held in Washington. There
was no more appropriate place. and the
proposition was warmly Endorsed by many
members of Congress who looked at the
matter from the standpoint of a broad pa
triotism. But Chicago and New York cast
envious eyes upon the enterprise and as a
result of a three-cornered fight. the western
metropolis carried off the prize. Thus was
the principle apparently established of leav-
ing Washington out of the calculation and
the subsequent great expositions have gone
to other cities. largely in consequence of
local enterprise.
But Washington stands today in the char
acter of a permanent exposition of great
interest to all Americans The speakers at
st. Louis are telling their hearers of the
attractions and advantages of the city,
well as of its requirements. They are
speaking to constituents who have an in
terest in Washington They are addressing
the people of many states, who regard
Washington as the nations city. Probably
a large proportion of them have at some
time visited Washington, some of them
many times Some, perhaps, may never
have come but all. it is sure, want to do
So Through these people much can be
done toward adding to the features Of this
great permanent exposition, which displays
the workings of the most remarkable gov
ornamental engine in the world. In the de-
gree that the people of the country at large
aroused to the needs of the nations
city and to their obligations toward it, the
day of its perfect development as the capt.
tai of the great republic will be FASTENED.
The District of Columbia is no longer
an unconsidered quantity in the national
equation. 1t is a vitality important factor
and the people are arousing to a sense not
only of its Importance, but of its value as
a means for the country's uplift. The st.
Louis fair is impressive largely because of
the beauty of it's equipment. Just so were
the Chicago and the Buffalo expositions.
The people have learned the lesson of cloth
ing great projects appropriately. 1t has
tardily recognized the fact that the govern
ment machine must be suitably housed and
surrounded 1t is now slowly working to-
ward that end. And no voice is loudly
raised today for shifting the seat of govern
ment to another place Here is the per-
manent capital. fixed beyond the possibility
of removal Fairs come and pass. but

Whatever may be the result of the pres

able to look back upon it without shame or
regret for excuses. With a great nation
divided, politically, into hostile camps, 1t
is natural that al times differences of opin-

than elegance, and that criticism should
wander beyond the bounds of strict logic.
1t can be said, however, that there never
has been campaign more free from vitu-
peration and personal attack.
