Depressing.

From the New York Evening Post.
1t Is most painful to every American to
see the President involved in a question of
personal veracity. Sharp differences OF
opinion we are accustomed to, but 1t is
something new, and distinctly unplea SAINT
to have the chief magistrate charge that a
certain statement about him is "a deliberate
and unqualified falsehood," and then to
have the statement reaffirmed in detail
with threat to produce further evidence
IL it is needed. But the only wonder is that
such an unhappy fate has not ere this be-
fallen the most reckless talker that ever
lived In the White House, as an old sena-
tor has characterized Mr.. Roosevelt. His
confidence has been amazingly respected,
but at last he has awkwardly stirred up two
men, Senator Ttllman and ex-senator
Chandler, who have small regard for the
minor proprieties, and to whom the fact
that a communication was confidential con-
stitutes no objection to hurting out what
they know about it. The net result is de-
pressing. At best it shows that the Presi-
dent talks so much that he forgets what he
has said, and that what he forgets no longer
exists for him. AS one of his close friends
explains it, in such matters too often his
mind slips a cog" Moreover, in repudat-
ing what those who have spoken with him
think he said, he does it violently, uses no
shade qualification of language, but
roundly accuses them OF gross lying. This
Is an unfortunate manner-especially so
when, as Mr. Chandler now alleges, evil
dence can be produced against him.

Charged With Bad Faith.

From the New York Journal.
The humiliating position in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt now finds himself, charged
with falsehood, with bad faith, with not
merely DESERVING his allies but as one
senator said. shooting them in the back.
suggests more than one lesson to public
men. 1t emphasizes. to be sure. the need of
a better guarded tongue than Mr.. Roosevelt
has ever possessed. But, more than that,
it strikingly illustrates the unwisdom OF
the growing presidential practice of at
tempting to dominate every branch of the
government.

When this is done the connection of the
Executive with legislation ceases until the
measure or measures have passed both
branches of Congress and have been sub
mitted to him for his signature. The Con-
stitution lodges the function of legislating
in Congress exclusively. though it gives the
Executive the power of the veto. Congress
is given the power to make laws while
the duty of executing them is imposed on
the Executive. and the courts are the inter
prefers of the laws.

Misunderstanding.

From the Philadelphia Record
The Presidents dickering with senators
over the rate bin has produced it's inevitable
results. They not only detract from the
public respect for Theodore Roosevelt, the
man, but they discredit the President of the
United States. We shall certainly make
no effort to settle the issue of varacity that
has been raised. OF course the President
would not tell lie, but neither would ex-
Senator William E. Chandler or Senator's
Tillman and Bailey. No one has told lie,
but there have been grave misunderstood
ings, as the result of which these men make
contradictory statements.
1t ought not to be necessary for the Presi-
dent of the United States to explain three
times within few weeks that he had been
misquoted, and there ought never to be a
chance of arraigning the President in the
Senate, upon the word of an ex-senator of
the Presidents own party, on the charge of
breaking his word or of making highly I'M
complimentary remarks about senators by.
name. But President who insists upon
talking a great deal with almost everybody
on every subject is certain to be misunder-
stood and misquoted, and his veracity and
good faith will become involved when he
plots with senators of all groups for the

Breach of Good Faith.
From the Springfield Republican.


The Statement made by Mr. Tfllman in
the United States Senate places President
Roosevelt in light where he must ap-
pear as disagreeably to himself as to any
one else. He is charged with having acted
in bad faith toward his democratic rate
bill allies, and that had been made to ap-
pear on the surface of the situation before
the South Carolina senator had given the
country an inner view of things.
1t Is of no vital consequence in this con-
nection whether the President, in agree
ing to the Allison amendment receded
from position he had previously taken
or not. II, as Mr.. Tillman asserts, the
President had made overtures to the
Bailey-Tilman democrats who had taken
charge of his rate bill to save 1t from be-
Ing trampled to death In a republican fac
tional quarrel; IL he had invited their CO.
operation. and this had been rendered by
them-then the President was bound by
every consideration of fair dealing and good
faith and honesty of purpose to take those
allies into consultation when he had found
a way to win republican conservative sup
port for the bill.

The Politics Of It.

From the New York Sun.
Search the politics OF it. Some of the
Senate democrats want a democratic rate
bill If they could cooperate with some of
the republicans to pass a rate bill opposed
by the most distinguished and influential
republican senators, what fine oppor-
tunity there would be to make a little
party capitay" out of 1t; to boast next
fall that they supported Mr.. Roosevelt
against the wicked republican corporate
influences" This dream faded. But the
democrats must have an issue. They have
it; Mr.. Roosevelt is a liar" simple,
urbane and grand proposition. And how it
viii take; what agreeable things some of
the democratic hotheads said about Mr..
Roosevelt in 1904, and how cordially the
country 'indorsed' them.
At present the democratic leaders seem
to be Mr.. Tiliman and Mr. William Eaton
Chandler, whose great services to the south
in 1S76-71 must be remembered by it with
gratitude. But wait until the Hon jeff
Davis of Arkansas bounees into the Senate
chamber.

There is nothing in the Constitution which
provides that the President shall or may
hold secret conferences with the members
OF either house of Congress to constrain
the legislative will. His duty Is confined
to messages which may involve informa ton
or recommendations Those messages are
public documents, unless the Congress shall
consider they should be kept secret In the
public interest Lately the President of the
United States, on the disclosure of senator's
and by his own admission to Senator Lodge
has been comforting with senators of both

the making, measures which the Constitu-
ton provides shall and should come to him
only in final form.

Couldn't Smell Anything Wrong.

pany with the gentleman who used
to manage his lecture tours, was
once examining hall in a town in
Ohio where it was proposed Mr..
Riley should give a reading. The
two men had as their guide colored
janitor who was quite talkative. Mr..
Riley observed that the janitor made
use of long words Of whose meaning
he was ignorant. So the poet de-
termined to have little fun with
him. All at once Mr.. Riley began
to sniff the atmosphere critically.

sternly, chat the acoustics in this
place are pretty bad.'

squarina the Circle.

One of the problems that are as
old as the science of mathematics
is that of squaring the circle. By
squaring She circle is meant the
problem of finding the sides Of a
square exactly equal in area to a
circle of given diameter. To do this
either by elementary geometry or by
expressing it automatically in COM
measurable numbers has been found
to be an impossibility. In other
words, the ratio between the dame
ter and the circumference of cir
Gle cannot be exactly found even
though in the division the decimal
be carried out to 10000 figures. The
above being the exact facts in the
case, we will say that the problem Of
squaring the circle is one that has
long been given up by the mathema-
hcians as insoluble.

WEIRD GHOST STORIES.
A Persistent Dream That Brought a
Murderer to Justice.

In certain town in the province
Of Minsk, west Russia, a peasant
suddenly disappeared. He was last
seen alive leaving the church and
going home to his sister, with whom
he lived.
One day in dream his sister saw
her brother. He looked pale, his
eyes were closed and his legs were
broken. He told her that he had
been murdered by her husband and
his brothers. He mentioned the ex-
act date and place of the deed and
added that his body was put into a
sack and thrown into the river. He
wanted her to find his body and to
have it buried in the family grave.
This dream was repeated several
times, and at last the sister sought
the advice of her aged father-in-
law. He told her that it would be
difficult to find the body, and if the
culprits were brought to justice her
chifdren would be left orphans. So
after consideration the sister gave
the matter up.
But her brothers spirit would not
rest and appeared in dream in the
above manner to friend of his.
Soon the news spread to the local
authorities, who took the matter up.
The river was searched, and the
body was found in the exact spot in
dicated.
This discovery had such an eff
feet on the murderers that they at
once confessed. They gave all the
details Of the crime-how after
service they took him to mill
where they ali dined, and on leav-
ing for home they attacked their
victim. Finding that the sack was
too small, they cut off his legs, tied
stone to his neck and threw him
in the river. The above is certified
to be perfectly accurate by the local
authorities
A Russian paper relates the fol.
lowing as having occurred in an Off
GERS family at the time Of the out
break of cholera. The eldest son
was in an office in town nearly 200
miles from his home.
One morning the family was Wis
tied by an undertaken, who said he
had received orders from person,
whom he described, to make coffin
for their eldest son. The father re-
piled that the son was far away and
that all the family were alive and
well.

clNDER IN THE EYE.
What You Must and Must Not %
When This Happens.

BY cinder we mean any minute
particle of whatever nature which
lodges in the eye, where it causes
much pain and distress.
In most cases when foreign
body gets into the eye it creates
little discomfort for a time, but is
soon washed away by the tears with
out doing any harm. Sometimes,
especially when the particle has
sharp corners to it, as is often the
case with the fine cinders from
locomotive which burns soft coal,
the conjunctiva is cut and the body
becomes firmly lodged in it, and ali
natures simple efforts to remove it
are Intellectual. Man then tries to
come to natures assistance and
often makes bad very much worse.
The sufferer winks the eye, rubs
it with his finger, perhaps inserts
an eyestone and does whatever else
he can think of to drive the particle
deeper into the conjunctiva and ex-
cite inflammation. This inhamma-
ton causes swelling of the conjunc-
tiva Immediately surrounding the
offending particle, with the result
that the foreign body becomes firm
ly imbedded and can be removed
only by the little needle or knife of
the ocul:st, or else it loosens itself
by exciting an liberation of the
cornea, and this liberation, when
healed, leaves behind it a minute
white scar. Lucky is the man if
this scar is at one side and not d.
rectly in front of the pupil.
One who gets cinder in the eye
must first of all exercise self con-
troll. He must not rub the eye. He
may take glass of clean water,
throw in pinch of salt, then put
the head down so that the eye is in
the water and wink several times
rapidly. If this does no good the
particle can sometimes be dislodged
by taking hold of the lashes and
drawing the upper lid down over
the lower and letting it slide back
into place.
If the speck can be seen on look
ing into the mirror it may often be
removed by the tip of a cone made
by folding the handkerchief several
times. Sometimes a friend can see
the speck by looking into the eye
with magnifying glass and can re-
move it by gently touching it with
the handkerchief cone.
This is all any one should at
tempt, and if these gentle efforts
fail to dislodge the cinder no time
should be lost in seeking the help of
a physician, who may take it away
before Inflammation or liberation
comes to comphcate the ACCIDENT
