The Baltimore San is so busy over

en- junketeers, and all they can eat
and all they can drink at the expense
Of the government. These funerals
cost from s., 900 10 s25, 600 each and
sometimes degenerate into a mild
form of spree. Often, indeed, the
Official mourners drink altogether too
much and there have been instances
when they were disabled from per-
forming their duty. Both parties
are equally guilty of this abominable
ofense and it is high time il was re-
formed in the interest of ordinary

Who says the President is arbi-
trary and despotic In his methods +?
He said yesterday Senator Hanna
has q perfect right to become a can
didate for President" This shows
plainly that he is not an autocratand
that imperialism" is a myth. His
humility is touching. He has not
issued any decree that the American
people shall not take part in the cleo
tions, or that the nominating conven-
tion shall not have at least some de-
gree of freedom in selecting a candi-
date. Behold how different he is
from the Sultan OF Turkey

The body of James Smithson, phil
anthropist, arrives here to-day from
Genoa, Italy. where it was buried
three-quarters of acentury ago. He
was an infidel and scientist, vice
president Of the British Royal Acad-
envy, and he gave half a million dol
lars 10 the United States to build the
Smithsonian Institution. He was a
scion of the great house OF Northum-
berland but was on the side of the
colonies during the Revolution, and
ridiculed his cousin, Lord Hugh
Percy, who ran away during the bat
tie OF Bunker Hill. He was ambiti-
GUS to be known as a benefactor of
his kind after the Northumber-
lands are forgotten" and he chose
the surest road to immortality. He
will be temporarily reburied in West
Washington, but will be transferred
to the Smithsonian grounds when
his statue is ready. Let us hope
that it viii not reinforce the bronze
calvary OF the city. /
