No; Gordon is my name he: replied. I

The Bishop and the Saloon.

Bishop Potter maintains his poise
in spite Of the criticism hurled at him.
He has made a public statement in
saloon. He regards the saloon as
neither blessing nor a necessity, and
nothing he said or did in connection
with the formal opening of the sub
way resort in New York admits Of any
such interpretation. Regarding the
saloon as a necessary evil, until 1t
can be displaced by something better,
he, is busily seeking after that some
thing better" and in the policy OUT
lined by the proprietors Of the SUBJ
way saloon, he thinks there has been
an approximation to it.
Bishop Potter truthfully points out
that, to close the saloon on Sunday,
or at any other particular time, is
not to displace it by something wor-
thy of public respect and legal pro-
lection, and he closes his brief state
ment with these words, which sum
up the differences beween him and
his critics:
"My controversy is simply with those
who have no other aim in dealing
with a mischievous institution than to
suppress, whereas the only hope Of
reform here is in displacement by sub
stitution.'
The attitude Of Bishop Potter's
critics is the attitude Of those who
forced on congress the anticanteen
statute against the protest of prac-
tically every leading officer of the
army, line and staff, save General
Miles, who is a radical prohibitionist.
Statistics show that the anticanteen
law, so far from bestowing bless
ing on the enlisted men which it was
GRAFTON, is actually causing vice and
dissipation, and its repeal is earnestly
desired by the best and most enlight-
| ened men in the service.
Bishop Potter knows, as do all
those who view the situation dispas-
sionately, that the chief trouble with
the modern saloon is the low
type Of the man who operates
it. In Minneapolis the low dive
is the saloon that does the most
harm. And it is a low dive because
of the low character of the men who
run it. The saloons that are run BY
the better class Of saloonkeepers give
the police and the public far les
cause for worry.
Bishop Potter's campaign in New
York is against the low dives. H.
would substitute for them places sucl
as that recently opened in the sub
way, and thus give the poor man ;
CLUB" without the temptations tina
heretofore have surrounded it. AS HI
we'll says, to close these dives on Sun
days, or on other days, doesn't strik
; at the heart Of the trouble. Their
, must be a change in proprietorshir
The old divekeepers must get out an
Z men of better instincts must tax
; their places. This is what he mean
{ by displacement by substitution.

The postmaster general is receiving gen.
erous congratulations because Of his re-
fusal to permit the name Vardaman TO
be given Mississippi postoffice. Even
the New York dailies supporting Judge
Parker think the postmaster general did
the proper thing. Governor Vardaman
is the exponent Of the most extreme
southern anti-negro sentiment, and per-
haps it was natural that he should, in
his abuse of the president, say insulting
things about the presidents mother, for
abuse counts for argument with such
men. The strange part Of it is that his
friends should. under the circumstances,
have placed him in a position where he
could not escape from the just rebuke
he has received.

An Octogenarian President.

In his address at indianapolis, on
the occasion Of the notification Of
Senator Fairbanks Of his nomination
for the vice presidency, Elihu Root
referred to the wisdom Of the con-
vention in selecting a candidate who
is yet In the fulness Of his physical
and intellectual forces, and has shown
in his public life the habitude of a
careful, conservative man, abundantly
fitted to succeed to the presidency, If
such emergency should arise. Mr..
Root referred to the nomination Of
the democrats, who, in case their
ticket were elected, would have in
that important position a man at the
age of 80, who, altho enjoying excep-
force at present, would have to bear
the strain Of public duty as presiding
officer Of the senate, and would have
to assume the rigors Of the presiden-
tial office, which bear heavily, and
often disastrously, upon the incum-
bent, in case of Judge Parker's death
or inability. Horace Greeley died at
OIL, the procuring cause DelIlS MS e4-
traordinary exertions during his cam
paign as the presidential candidate Of
the liberal republican party. Horace
Greeley was a stalwart citizen, but
campaigning was too much for him.
Had he been chosen president he
would have succumbed before he had
served year. Davis has reached an
age when a sudden transition from
the easy life Of a country gentleman
to the presidency and its mighty re-
sponsibilities and worries, would
threaten mental and physical collapse.
Suppose Parker appointed Bryan or
some kindred spirit to a cabinet posi-
ton, say secretary Of state. That Of

SURPRISE TO HER FRIENDS.
Mrs. Rigney Of Manhattan Has Re-
markable Experience.

Several of the friends OF Mrs. l. N,
Rigney, who has been almost con-
fined to the house since she under
went an operation year ago, were
astonished to meet her Saturday
walking briskly along the street sew
eral blocks from home. Inquiries
brought out that she had been taking
treatment Of Prof. j. Austin Larson
and, in two weeks time had gained
SO rapidly that she walked many
blocks without fatigue. The painful
and dangerous after.effects Of her
ordeal in the hospital are rapidly be-
ing removed and Mrs. Rigney is re-
joicing OF her good fortune.
A still more remarkable feature OF
her case is the benefit to her left eye
Of which she had almost lost the
sight. For eleven years she had suf-
fered intervals Of great pain in that
eye and lately the sympathetic pain
in the right eye had become almost
as severe. A specialist Of high repu.
tation had told her that the only re-
lief for the trouble and, in iced, the
only means Of saving the right eye
from becoming affected, was to have
the deceased organ removed. This
was what she was contemplating and
dreading when she went to Prof. Lar
son. After three treatments she
ceased entirely to feel any pain. Pro-
lessor Larson does not promise her
10 make the sight Of her left eye per-
ect, but he expects to save what is
eft and to relieve her permanently
II her great suffering. Mrs. Rigney
peaks Of what he has accomplished
'lready IS being almost q miracle.
