 We may not see the heavenly light that shone over the Judean hills, nor hear the angelic voices singing their glad song of Peace on earth to men and good will,' but the message that came to the shepherds nineteen hun dred years ago is for us today, On- to you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord;' thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

The John Paul Jones Scandal.

Gen. HORACE PORTER, formerly Am
bassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary to France has returned to this
country, and his welcome by his fellow
citizens is of the most complimentary
character.
Yet it is not too soon to say that al
though Gen, PORTER is no longer in the
diplomatic service Of the United States
his conduct at Paris while Ambassador
should be the subject Of searching
Enquiry by Congress at the earliest OPP
iportunity.
II necessary, Gen. PORTER himself
should be compelled to disclose the
scandalous truth about his personal
relation to expenditures for the discovery
OF the body of JOHN PAUL JONES and to
inform Congress of the sum total Of his
disbursements in connection with that
remarkable enterprise.
We use the word scandal advisedly.
II will be continuing scandal if this
mighty republic, in addition to its other
Indebtedness to Gen. HORACE PORTER,
permits him to pay out of his own
pocket the expenses of the search for
the remains of JOHN PAUL JONES and
their recovery.
The exact truth and the exact figures
should be dragged, if necessary, by
legislative process of investigation from
Gen. PoRTERs reluctant lips.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: "A letter

sive growth OF the centers Of population.
The gravest problems which confront
our cities lie primarily in the field Of
sanitation and engineering. Tie Jew
and the italian Of mature age who come
here in search Of religious, political and
economic independence throw their
weight on the side of law and order. 1t
Is tho generation-rof whatever stock,
native or foreign--born and bred in the
slums that leans toward vice and crime.
The slums are responsible for most Of the
evils pecullarto city life. But with proper
regulation OF building construction and
housing conditions and with adequate
provision Of cheap transportation there
would be no room for the growth OF
slums.
An effective remedy for the overcrowd-
ing in our cities is to be found not in
attempts to divert immigration to the
country but in efforts to arouse public
sentiment to the necessity Of securing
more equable distribution Of population
within the cities themselves. Under the
industrial conditions that have come to
prevail, whatever labor is transferred
from the sweat shop to the soil helps to
multiply the demand for operatives in
the city.
In the future our urban population is
bound to increase in a geometrical ratio,
while the country population follows an
arithmetical ratio Of increase. And I'M
less this fact is recognized at the national
conference called bv the Civic Fedora
ton to consider the question Of immigra-
ton, it's discussion will lead to no result
of substantial practical value.

The Pennsylvania Railroads eighteen
hour Chicago-New York train ran into
freight wreck yesterday while making
seventy miles an hour The incident
furnishes remarkable evidence of the
safety OF fast trains. The fier, instead
of leaving the rails, ploughed straight
through the wreck, and the passengers
aboard, asleep in their berths, did not
know until afterward how serious was
the accident which caused the stopping
Of their train The only person injured
was the engineer OF the flier, who
jumped from his cab and was bruised
Had he stuck to his post, it is likely that
he would have escaped unhurt.
A slower train probably would have
been derailed and many persons would
have been injured. But the tremendous
speed of this flier kept her on the track
and scattered aside the distractions.
The accident resembled in no way that
in which the New York Central's eighteen
hour Chicago train was wrecked, for the
Centrals mishap was due to misplaced
switch, which would have caused as
disastrous smashup TO train making
much slower time.
These two incidents point to the con-
clusion, long ago reached by railway
operators that the fastest trains are the
safest under certain conditions, and are
certainly not more dangerous than the
slower under Others. The public de-
nlands fast trains, and the railways
supply them. For the traveller in one
of the heavy cars that are hauled over
the tracks at the rate of mile in forty
five seconds it will be comforting reflec-
ton that il accident befalls his train his
chances are in no event worse than
those Of the traveller in an accommoda-
ton, and that under most circumstances
they are much better.

The Tragedy Of Ugliness.

The nose which made Of CYRANo, DE
BERoERAC swashbuckler and martyr
might have driven weaker spirit to the
cloister, to the wine cup or to suicide.
Only few days ago THE SUN was
obliged to chronicle the fate Of young
woman Of good family who killed her
self in Orange because of her plain face.
The tragedy Of ugliness is ofextreme
prevalence, and it Is none the sadder
because SO many people affect to scoff
at il.
1t is only on the surface that the let
ters to the beauty doctor, moro or less
copiously revealed through Mr.. JE-
RoMEs office in the last day or two, are
farcical. They are actually revelations
Of suffering as keen in many cases as
any that might result from poverty or
ambition foiled. Neither is the senti-
ment despicable one which drives the
writers to spend freely Of their substance
and to endure sharp physical pain to
correct the cruel errors of Mother Ma
ture. Behind it are all the social and
domestic impulses in man and woman
the desire to stand equal with others in
all respects in the eyes Of our contem-
poraries, the anxiety to please, the long
ing for affection. the yearning for love,
the craving for spouse, offspring and
the home
For what agonies Of shyness may not
the nose very thick at the point be
responsible; what fine purposes and adj
mirable gifts may not have been turned
into despair and desolation by the bal
loon ears" and liver spots upon the
cheeks! Freckles may in many cases
have meant sour and rebellious spinster-
hood, and wrinkles only too often antici-
pate the scars from broken heartstrings.
let not the strong and brave who tri-
umph over natural handicaps turn the
finger of scorn upon their weaker breth-
rem who succumb; still less should those
who are rich in bloom and beauty scourge
with laughter the effort to improve on
natures botched handiwork.
The man who would impose on this
form Of human misery by promising to
do things to relieve it, for which science
gave no warrant, would be an impostor
of a peculiarly mean and heartless type.
But it is fair to consider that if the plas-
tic surgeon, the cosmetic healer can
really accomplish something in remov-
ing blemishes that impede and darken
life. the man who became master of
the art would be comforting a real serv-
ice on mankind. We are likely to have
some sort of judicial determination as
to the possibilities of the field as soon
as our slow moving courts get around
to it. In the meantime suspension of
judgment regarding the beauty doctor
is in order But only the illnatured
will now or at any time regard with
any feeling save pity the unhappy ones
who are his patients.

We observe, lastly, that although reoog-
nizng the necessity Of making Russia
self-supporting in the way OF manu-
features, lie was also keenly alive to
the needs Of the Russian peasants. for
he established reserve fund from which,
over and over again, the Government
has loaned to distressed agricultursts
millions of rubles a year. II one were
asked to indicate by single concrete
fact tho value Of the service rendered
to the Russian Government by NJ. WIrTE
rs Minister Of Finance 1t should suffice
to recall that while carefully refraining
from increasing the burden Of direct
taxation he almost doubled the revenue
due to indirect taxes, raising it from
about 45O,OOO,OO0 to about 8O0,C000O0
rubles annually.
1t is important to bear in mind, il
one would measure the exact relation
OF the man to the present situation,
that WITTE is no believer In representa-
tive institutions His political ideal
is an intelligent, farseeing, benefcent
autocracy. Herein again, as In so many
particulars, be reminds one OF TURGoT,
who, it will be remembered, framed a
vast plan of reform, administrative and
economic, which had it been adopted
might have saved the ancien regime
TURGoT was opposed to convocation
of the States General, foreseeing that
thereby would be opened the foodgates
Of anarchy and that thenceforth pa
cfc revolution would prove impossible.
That is precisely the position occupied
by SERGIUs WITTE. In his opinion,
he needs the help Of no zemsky sober
in order to rescue the autocracy. 1t
is the teaching of history, however,
that despotisms seldom recognize and
accept their appointed saviors. Mean
while it Is at least possible for WITTE
to bring his country out of war which
from its inception he deplored with the
least possible impairment of her interests
and her dignity.
