Building Inspectors Questions.

The questions put up to the council
by Building Inspector Houghton are
pertinent at this time. He wishes to
know how far the council would have
him go in making the owners Of pub
lie buildings conform their structures
to the ordinances. The council might
reply that it had made the law and it
was for the building inspector to en-
force it without further advice But
unfortunately the council have not al
ways acted upon that principle. Spe-
cial permits in violation Of their own
laws are not unknown in the history Of
the council.
The West hotel fire will, we presume,
be investigated and some sort of re-
port made as to culpability Of indi-
viduals. 1t will not add anything to
the existing laws, and it may show that
there is no need to add to ex-
listing law, but it may show that
laws for the safety of people within
the buildings are good or bad as their
administration by the owners is lax Or
vigilant. There can be little criticism
Of the West hotel building itself. There
may be some leveled against the man
agement. We do not know that there
will be, but it is human nature to let
present safety veil future peril. If the
West hotel was inadequately patrolled,
there was serious fault of administra-
ton. If there. are other hotels whose
construction is faulty, it lies with the
management to redouble their precau-
tions against fire coming as a surprise.

Pensions for Ex-Presidents.

What'to do with our ex-presidents is
question that has not, bothered the
people lately; perhaps because we have
had but one former president to worry
about and he seemed abundantly able
to care for himself. But even here a
slight error appears to have been made.
1t is now said that Mr.. Cleveland has
taken the position of referee between
the big insurance companies because he
needs the income. ,:.> ~ b..
1t was supposed that Mr.. Cleveland
was well fixed as far as this world s
goods are concerned. If it is not so
it is regrettable that the people thru
their representatives in congress have
not provided for Mr.. Cleveland legally.
The payment Of pension to an ex-
president would be perfectly proper,
justifable and would anger no class. of
people. The country pays pensions to
the. widows Of former presidents and
the country approves. Why not to ex-
presidents themselves? A man who has
been president Of the republic is ,ex-
pected to keep up a scale Of living
often too heavy for him because of
the fact that he has been president
He is cut off from many sources Of in
come because he has been a president.
1t used to be held bad form for a for
mer, president to appear in court as a
lawyer, but Benjamin Harrison broke
|: thru that. silly tradition and made more
out Of his law practice in the few years
he survived his. term Of president than
he had before. Mr.. Cleveland has had
no law practice and has lived quietly
in Princeton, where he has delivered
some lectures before the students.
The predicament in which General
Grant found himself after his term as
president is too well and painfully re-
membered. With a large family on
his hands he found himself compelled
to earn a living and he was enticed
! into business ventures he did not un-
derstand. He was duped and tricked
and ruined in purse and for time in
jured in reputation. The compensa-
ton for this great calamity to General
! Grant is the fact that to it we owe his
inimitable memoirs. Except under the
spur. Of ~ressing necessity they might
never have been written and the world
would have lost one Of the most i'm.
personal Of personal books. The nation
when it awoke to it's senses found a
1 way to help out General Grant. 1t re,
.stored him to the army and Immediately
retired him on the pay of his rank
The matter Of pensioning ex-presidents
was thus avoided when it might have
and should have been decided.
It should be decided now. If Mr.
| Cleveland needs additional income the
nation and not the benefciaries Of in
surance policies ought to give it tc

EXCELLENT. LIFT


LoWELL.-Biography of the best type
picture Of, and an array Of facts about,
it's subject; it leaves the reader with a
feeling of personal acquaintance with
the subject, of a genuine insight into
the character, such as may be obtained
only from personal contact or, from
biography that discloses the inner life.
Such biography is Ferris Greenslet Is
James Russell Lowell. One. reads this
life Of Lowell with keen delight. He
feels that it is the true Lowell that
is before him, rather than the -biog-
rapher' s portrait, and is thankful! that
the biographer has so conscientiously
bent himself to his real business OF
disclosing a life, rather than to that
secret of the authors success in this
respect is, doubtless, mainly because of
the fact that he has endeavored to
make Lowell, so far as possible, tell
his own story and be his own inter
prefer, in multitudinous short excerpts
from his correspondence The author
shows himself master at selection,
otherwise he could not have succeeded
as he has, Furthermore he has a spark
ling, irresistibly lucid way of putting
his own very sane views and lnterpre-
tations, and this has supplemented and
strengthened the self drawn portrait
contained in the excerpts from Lowell 8
own writings. 1t should be added that
fed laudation; he is an impartial judge,
tho evidently a great admirer of Lowell
His work is in one volume, illustrated

High-School Debates.

The Minneapolis high school debaters
have decided that the direct primary is
preferable to the old caucus system and
convention system. The affirmative
maintained that direct representation
was the right Of the people; that eau
cuses were not attended by the people,
while they turned out to the primaries
encouraged by the fact that they were
under the protection of the law while
voting; that candidates no longer had
to ask the permission of the bosses to
go before the people and that the re-
suits already attained justified the
change. '.
The negative claimed that ours is
not a. pure democracy but a republican
representative government; that par
ties are necessary and can express them
selves only thru delegate conventions.
They agreed with the affirmative that
it was, important to have delegates
chosen in honest caucuses. They denied
that this was impossible or that it was
not the fact in the majority of con-
ventions held. The negative further
claimed that the direct primary demon
allied party organization.
In rebuttal the primary advocates
showed that party spirit still survived
to an appreciable extent; that express
sions of principle are not forbidden.
The negative made strong point of
the fact that the direct primary re-
1+c
The high school scholars show that
they have taken the measure Of the
claims for each system Of voting and
while the direct primary won the day,
the negative was able to show where
in many ways it fails to be cureall
for political evils. Besides training
themselves to view an important ques-
ton in both it's aspects the debaters
We're expected to perfect themselves
in the expression Of their thoughts and
livery. The high school debate is thus
made practical substitute for the old
set grafton and more than substitute,
since it includes all the Grafton could
do for the pupil and adds an obliga-
tion of such mastery Of the subject as
to permit of answering the arguments
of an opponent offhand. This is broader
and more. practical education than
training in speaking: one IS @memorized

self-supporting institution. is valuable
