YfIEN we talk to children on a

we are big children, and when that Is
the theme seek subterfuges to distract
us.
The first sophism consists in asking
ourselves If there is such thing az
duty in the abstract, or If this word
does not cover one of the numerous H.
lusions of our fOrefathers; for duty,
In truth, supposes liberty, and the ques.
ton Of liberty leads us into metaphys
les. How can we talk of liberty so
long as this grave problem of free will
Is not solved? Theoretically there is
no objection to this, and If life were
theory and we We're here to work out
a complete system of the universe 1t
would be absurd to concern ourselves
with duty until we had clarified the
subject of liberty, determined its con.
dltions, fixed its limits.
But life is not a theory. In this ques-
tion Of practical morality, as in the
others, life has preceded hypothesis,
and there Is no room to believe that
she ever yields 1t place. This liberty

are acquainted with, for that matter

bility of escape. There was neither
adequate hose nor boats. There was
not a trained crew nor one of even
decent grade of intelligence. The
life-preservers, last desperate resort
OF the despairing, were rotten and
worse than useless, for these bore the
victims down to death
In the horror excited by this calam-
ity there was an effort to find if other
boats were so badly equipped and as
unsafe, and nothing was discovered
in favor of the others Some carried
life-preservers actually baliasted with
iron, SO as to give them a legal weight.
1t is with bad grace that any men
in any way responsible for conditions
so shameful, or in a mood to condemn
official regulation Of steamboat traffic
or to hamper it, can come forward
with a plea to let the public drown
OF burn rather than that dividends
be iessened by the necessity for life
saving apparatus.

In the Juru Room.

The verdict of the McCue jury, just
reached in twenty minutes after the
jury had retired to its room. The
interval might have been shorter, as
the twelve minds had reached con-
ciusfon while in the presence of the
judge and prisoner. The twenty min
utes was devoted TO prayer.
1t may be, and probably is true that
prayer is not feature of jury delibe-
ratfons often. There are people who
view this form of petition as super
rfuous and others SO lacking in reyer-
ence that they scoff it. Nevertheless,
prayer is natural impulse, and men
who dc not pray may have the ut
most respec, for those whose emotions
and desires take this form of ex-
preston. 1t is, from any point OF
view, far more seemly that men who
have in keeping the life of their fei-
low be in a solemn mood than that
they either jest. engage in contention
or fiippantly rely upon chance, as in

that twelve men so constituted as tc

knees and ask divine guidance would
not be of the sort to render any yer

facts in regard TO law. There is no

Consider the Source.

Steamboat men ask that the inspec-
ton to which their craft must be
subject be modified. They are about
to send delegation 70 Washington
to present their case The request
will, of course, be considered, but SO
should be the source of it. The
steamboat men do not have record to
which they can point with pride, or
upon the strength OF which they can
make any arbitrary demands.
The chief event out of which grew
the more stringent regulations was
the destruction of the General Slocum,
anvolving the loss OF l,03I lives. No
body has yet been punished for this
hfdeOus wholesale murder, but inves-
tigation has shown an utter lack of
precaution, of skill, Or of ordinary
humanity. Passengers were accepted
for transport upon a vessel that not
only was tinderbox, but supplied

Changes in Custom.

The action of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations in reporting the
legislative bill in such form that it
carries an appropriation half mil
lion dollars larger than when it left
the House is of unusual significance
According to tradition, the Senate
was a restraining, conservative body.
which, full of years and wisdom,
awaited opportunities for correcting
the mistakes and extrayagapees of the
other branch To the Senators fell
the duty OF striking from all bills
and resolutions the clauses deemed
unnecessary and inexcusable. The
House might dispori Itself fearlessly
and playfully. but the country would
not fear, being persuaded that the
staid and sage Senate would, at a
glance, detect each flaw and apply
the remedy.
Now, however, in the news columns
Of the daily press may be read that
| this gentleman or, that is not dis
mayed at the failure of a particular
committee to report favorably to the
House his~pet project, for he will
have it inserted in the bill as an
amendment on the Senate side" Es-
| pecially does this seem to be true
in regard to appropriations.
An apparent reason for such re-
versal of the positions OF the House
and Senate is that the House is di-
reetly responsible to the people of the
country, and this responsibility has
/ to be accounted for eyery-two years
The Senate obtains its life from the
State Legislatures, and only once
every six years are individual cam
| paigns necessary The members O.
the House have to go among theil
constituents and explain the why O

The Senators may De obliging il

Col. Marner's Appointment.

News from the White House is
often very good news. 1t is so de-
Ic:dedly when it announces the Presi-
dents purpose to appoint Col. Yes
pasian Warner to the post of Com
missioner of Pensions The Times
thinks the whole body of veterans
will applaud the selection, and it is
sure the District of Columbia will
rejoice that, after many years of wait
ing, one of its most important insti-
tutions has been taken from the con-
troll of Missionaries and is to be given
into the hands of resourceful and
successful business man
In at least two respects Colonel
Warmers assumption of Office is dis
tinctive: His service in the Northern
army continued until year after
the civil war had ended; and his ap-
pointment was urged by many Sena-
tors, the entire House of Representa-
1ives, both Congressional Committees
on the Judiciary, business men from
all over the country, and many de-
partments of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
In view of the recent experience of
the Pension Bureau, it is pleasant to
think that both this service and this
Endorsement are indicative Of high
qualifications for Colonel Warmers
new duties He entered the Federal
Army as a private and left it as g
Major The unanimous Endorsement
given by his colleagues was the
tribute of men who had worked with
him in Congress ten years, VINO knew
his abilities as a lawyer, and who were
Informed of his success as a conserva-
tive man of business
What the Pension Bureau has need
ed these many years-and it is to be
hoped the bureau may obtain il
through Colonel Waraer-is not an adj
ministration of extraordinary friend
ship for all soldiers, but a soldierly
administration of the laws which Con.
gress has passed for all soldiers
Right to the line, without fear of thu
anti-pensiou party or. extra favor fol
the pensioners, the law ought to bt
enforced. Il is precisely becaus,
previous commissioners have nevel
undertaken to go this far and stol
there that the post has become by
word and the proper control of tn.
Office has been an apparent impossi
bilify.
