Senator Allison.

The absence OF Mr.. Allison from his place
In the Senate in the closing days OF this
session has been remarked with sncerest
regret and the deepest sympathy. His
health made it necessary for him to leave
town in advance of adjournment. The Iowa
senator has for years been one of the
most industrious and influential of the men,
bers of the body in which he is veteran.
An authority on matters of government, a
wise and fair man In all relations, ne en-
joys the unqualified confidence and respect
of both sides of the Senate chamber and
OF the country at large. There is probably
no other member of the Senate who pos
sesses so thorough a knowledge Of the de-
tails of public business, or Is SO well
qualified to handle upon the instant in de-
bate the thousand and one questions that
inhere in the public purse. Probably with
out an exception, everybody advised OF
Mr.. Allison's present impairment OF
physical strength will wish him a speedy
recovery. and the country early benefit
from his valuable services again.

upon It in something of the old style. Mr..
Towne In his speech advanced no new
opinion Mr.. Bryan has repeatedly explained
matters In the same way and almost In the
same terms.
1t is misleading to speak Of Mr. Bryans
apology" He has made none. He medi-
tates none. All he comedies is that he could
not foresee the new discoveries OF gold,
which. as he insists, settled the controversy
for q time. What, he asks OF the sound
money men, democrats and republicans
alike. would have been the result IL these
discoveries had not been made? His own
answer to the question is that the McKin-
ley administration would have failed and
ruin become widespread
1t Is this attitude of Mr. Bryan which
makes Endorsement Of him at this time by
sound money democrats little bit perilous
for them. The immediate object of course
Is to kill OF Mr.. Hearst and elect a demo-
cratic House. But 1900 will follow, and
then comes the writing of national plat
form. What will be said in that about the
money issue? Something must be said
The dodge of 1904 cannot with safety be
repeated That made the party both ridicu-
lous and contemplate, and cost Judge
Parker votes both east and west. His eff
fort to square" himself by his telegram
to his managers in st. Louis, viewed at
this distance, was not much above the level
of bunko.
Is 1t possible to imagine the democratic
party two years hence writing a platform
to accommodate the difficulties of that day
as the difficulties of two years ago were
accommodated. and Mr.. Bryan explaining
himself In telegram or letter to mollify
nf oil to- h.
the money issue is not to be lodged, how
Is 1t to be met, with Mr.. Bryan still hold
ing to his old views. and the Cleyelandites

Reckless Chauffeurs.

Yesterdays fatal automobile accident in
Montana especially shocking to the
residents OF Washington because of the
fact that it caused the death of Mrs. James
Tanner, one of the most estimable women
of the capital, whose friends are legion.
The dreadful circumstances Of Mrs. Tan
ner's death render the loss especially
severe. Such happenings seem n be so
easily avoidable that they are regarded
as needless sacrifices of life. In this
case the recklessness OF the chauffeur
was the cause of the disaster The man
tried to pass around two wagons that
were standing in the road, and in so doing
ran his machine into soft ground at the
edge of the highway and it was over
turned. BY a miracle all the occupants
save Mrs. Tanner escaped serious injury.
The drivers OF these heavy, high-power
machines take desperate chances without
reason. They seem to forget that they are
subject to numerous causes of disablement
and DETECTION Trusting to their skill and
largely to luck, they go through narrow
OPENINGS in the traffic and skim along the
edges OF bitches and round curves at I'M
safe speeds. When they get through with
out trouble they pride themselves on their
ability. When they go to smash they at
beyond their control A bursting tire
failing brake. caving bit of ground, these
may be rated as sheer accidents. But
when they contribute 10 disaster 1t Is al
ways to be noted that they are accompanied
by unsafe speeds or imprudently narrow
risks in steering.
Unfortunately in a majority OF cases the
innocent passenger is hurt or killed. The
chauffeur himself is seldom injured by the
smash that results from his own incapacity
or recklessness. Yet nobody hears of the
punishment of the man at the controller
who by his dare-deviltry or inexpertness in
a position of high trust causes the death
OF one Of his charges. When he runs down
a pedestrian he is occasionally Jailed, but
seldom even then. What this country
needs today is a rigid code of law on the
subject of the contributory negligence of
those who assume the custody of human
life In transit. A few applications of punt
tive laws on this subject will go far toward
raising the standards OF personal qualif-
cation.

Bryan and the Money Question.

A correspondent OF the New York Sun,
writing from Omaha, says:
Mr.. Towne of Minnesota and Tammany
Hall recently said on the floor OF the House
that the Bryan-Debs combination commit
ted technical error on the cheap silver
issue Of 1896 and 1900. Mr. Bryan and Mr..
duction has indicated their contention and
the wisdom of the quantitatiye theory OF
money In those years
There Is not shadow of truth in the
argument. 1t is founded on a fragrant fall
lacy. II was not scarcity OF money that
brought on the calamities of %; 1t was
the scarcity of confidence and credit 1t was
overtrading. the expansion of credits and
the consequent retirement OF gold and other
good money into bank vaults and holes in
the ground. and nothing else In the world,
that caused the apparent. but never real.
scarcity of money.
The Bryan-Towne apology for the crime
against the democratic party, which has
been practically annihiiated In the Senate
and House. Is not accepted by men who
know the truth about IT,"
Here, maybe. is the beginning OF a dis
cussion of which we are likely 10 hear a
good deal in the next two years. Mr.. Bryan
has not changed his general Views as TO
money at all He not only believes In the
quantitatfye theory. but In the double stand
ard. His faith In silver money of re-
demptlon Is as strong as ever. Let the mar
ket become tight again, and prices fall and
discomfort arise. and we shall hear him
bring forward his old remedy. and descent

The Session.

Comment on the session closing today
shows the usual partisan points of view. In
one quarter 1t is asserted that the Presi-
dent did not get the legislation he wanted
by long shot. In another quarter 1t Is as
serted that Congress bowed its head to the
executive more slavishly than ever before
In still another quarter are told that,
all things considered, matters went pretty
well between the two.
In all but the rarest cases, all legislation
IS compromise. There are two sides to
every question. and when it comes to max
ing laws both sides to a question are urged
with energy and tenacity. No point Of i'm
portance is overlooked. 1t is give here and
take there and the end is something for
both sides.
1t may be conceded therefore without in
jury to either side in the great questions
Congress has handled that both sides have
received something. The President made
his recommendations. and Congress acted
on them. There was good deal, but maybe
not an unusual amount. Of wrangling.
Wrangling inheres in all law-making con-
tests. 1t develops the situation, and out Of
It comes action. Mr. TiIlman and Mr.. Bailey
had their "spats'' over the railroad rate
bill, though both were on the same side.
MT. Bailey ana Uau tHelr SpdtS
over the same measure. though both were
speaking for government regulation And
so on. All is not anger and bitterness that
sounds tart and threatening. Something al
ways Is to be allowed for stage effects.
When the congressional campaigns tor-
mally open we shall see the sessions rec
ord presented In campaign style. The re-
publicans will magnify 1t, and the demo-
Gratis cneapen 1t. The truth will lie be-
tween. 1t is upon the whole a record Of
credit. New questions have been dealt with
in way that promises the correction of
evils publicly confessed. We may have to
wait little for results. The courts are
open, and corporations put in restraint will
appeal there when pressed. But in the end
the public will benefit. Steps forward have
been taken. and they viii not be retraced
The future of these efforts does not depend
on the success of any party. The real
strength OF what has been accomplished
lies IN the fact that both parties. all par
ties. are committed.
In this view of matters yote-hunting and
its everyday requirements need not unduly
disturb US. Whether the President or Con-
gress profited the more in their contest Is
OF less Importance than the indisputable
fact that the people proflted good deal.

The Russian Powder Keg.

Every few weeks appearances strongly
indicate that the supreme crisis is at hand
in Russia. During the past eight months
there have been at least half dozen close
approaches to the point of widespread revo-
luton. but each time the situation has been
resolved into the elements Of comparative
calm. The Moscow revolt was the nearest
approach to actual disruption. and in that
emergency the empire was saved only
through the loyalty OF the troops. Now the
dispatches tell Of a situation which once
again approximates to the semblance OF a
breaking point.
The douma, unterrihed by the cars
threats of dissolution, and confident of pop
ular support in Its demand for a .respon
sible ministry and a liberal agrarian pro-
gram, continues to debate the issues in a
defiant spirit. 1t Is encouraged by the at
titude of one Of the guards regiments, a
battalion of which recently signed a decla-
ration protesting against its employment on
police duty or any service which menaced.
the free action Of the douma. The car has
bitterly expressed his scorn and disappoint-
ment at such display of disloyalty and
dishonored the battalion by depriving 1t of
its honorary title and it's officers of privi-
leges.
But such measures are feeble. a mere
beating the air. II the entire service Is
honeycombed by disloyalty as the palace
party now fears Indeed. so serious Is the
danger of disaffection among the troops
that the cars advisers are urging him to
precipftate conflict while the soldiers are
wavering, In the belief they will
welcome chance to fight. But even
these reactionaries understand the limits of
the case and acknowledge that 1t will be
suicidal to turn the troops against the peas
ants. Against whom, then. would they be
marshaled? Against the Jews? That might
restore the fighting spirit to the army and
in some degree save the day, but in the
light Of the warning just sent by M. White
to the car that further Jew batting will
shake the Russian credit abroad 1t would
be disastrous expedlent. There remains
of possible work for the army only strong
display of force against the merchant class
and the douma itself. In view of the atti-
tude of the guards regiment now under the
ban of the Cars displeasure vigorous re-
dictionary movement against the parliament
might prove to~be boomerang.
The truth apparently is that the czar does
not know which way to turn. The reports
indicate that he is today little better than
a prisoner in his own palace. Distrusting
his army, he fears to move about, and he
remains at the Peterhof palace, surrounded
by a special force of mamelukes and Tar
tars. many of whom do not speak the Rus
sian language. sinister likeness to the
situation at Versailles Is here to be found.

Making Heroes Of Murderers.

FROM the Kansas City Journal.
A strange psychological element in many
human beings finds a strong fascination in
the horrible and the grotesque. Let man
or woman be on trial for murder. with all
the elements of CORY accessories, limiting at
sidelights of sandals and unholy intima-
cies with red-stained daggers and bloody
garments. and the court room will be
crowded with morbid spectators, craning
their necks lest one single horrible detail
escape them. But let the case be one In
which one friendless 1aborer kills another
with a pickaxe and nobody cares. In the
first instance the prisoner becomes hero
or a heroine. and flowers and maudlin SEN
timent follow. SOMEBODY starts a movement
in nine times out of ten the ends of justice
are defeated.
