II HE other day a reporter in quest
i Of news regarding a real estate
transaction by the president Of one Of
the great life insurance companies,
called up his home. The wife of the
president OF the concern came TO the
phone. and learning who wanted the

in a TRADE Of blllingsgate that would
have done credit to a London fishwife.
The reporter. the paper and the
press In general came in for a share OF
her eplthets, and undoubtedly she left
the phone exhausted but satisfied. But
meanwhile the press may congratulate
atself that It has been one Of the great

From the Baltimore American.
In this climate with It's rapid changes.
the season Of coughs and colds" like
the poor, is always with us. AT this
time Of the year. however the tendency
to such ailments is more marked than
at any other And as a cold taken in
the autumn is more apt to have the dis
agreeable staying qualities which make
il frequently an unwelcome guest for
the entire winter, ii behooves the man
or woman who gives thought to health
and comfort to take whatever preven-
tive measures VIII secure certain de-

Overheated and unventilated or in

nized as three of the most important
agencies in the production of the

are compelled to live are not often SAM

lack of proper food and clothing lend
announcement to the dread malady.
Considered merely as an economic
question. we do not believe that states
and municipalities are doing themselves
justice in failing to take hold of the
matter seriously. The workingmen
through their organizations could have
a mighty effect on legislation. and we
trust that they will take up the sug-

The DILEMMA IN RUSSIA.

nEsPITE the concessions or alleged
II concessions made by the Car Of
Russia, that government Is still in a
dilemma. We believe that Count Witte
and his cabinet are endeavoring to give
the country the blessing Of free rep
resentative government. The question
that arises is. are they 10 extend the
fright OF suffrage TO all persons alike?
At first an affirmative answer is given.
This is just where the trouble starts to
brew. Take the case Of the Jews. If
the government does not give them an
equal share in the new order of things,
IL viii be accused Of discriminating
against them. on the other hand il
it does give them such a share. mill
lions Of Russians win raise the cry
that the country is being turned over
to Jewish control, and bloody uprisings
might follow.
The New York Tribune in comment
ing on this serious matter says:
For generations the masses of the
Russians have been taught and accus-
toned TO regard the Jews as their nat
ural enemies and as an accursed race.
Such ancient and ingrained preiudices
cannot be eradicated IN a day. per-
haps not I'm a generation. Yet they
form a potent factor in a very practical
problem which the government must
solve. II is one of the sins of the
rrfh afaff

days OF superstitious savagery. the
Ianu-Jewish policy was adopted Ii has
been maintained until now. and how
to get rid Of 1t Is one of the most per-
picking questions the government has
10 answer. In some degree 1t is COM
parable with the race question which
was developed I'm our own land in slav-
cry days and which is not yet by any
means settled; but it is worse, because
OF the smaller capacity Of the Russian
nation for dealing temperately with
such a matter. Suppose the whole
lanti-slavery controversy, in all it's pas
sionate intensity had been precipitated
upon us IN 1883. And the present plight
OF the Russians is worse. even than
that would have been. for they are not
lneafly so advanced IN constitutional
government as We were then.

largument for proceeding with circum-
lspect deliberation and not too suddenly
