In his address Of welcome at the one
hundred and afty-second opening Of
Columbia university, President Nicho-
las Murray Butler took occasion to
point out the forcible illustra lions
now being afforded the rising genera
ton of the difference between repu-
tation and character. The American
people are receiving some painful les
sons in practical ethics, as President
Butler says, and of late we have been
watching regulations melt away like
snow before the SUM-" President But
Ter had in mind, of course, the insur-
ance scandals. There has. indeed.
been matter brought to light to make
an honest man blush. Hamilton w.
Mabie, another American, whose pat
riotism and cleanliness of thought none
will deny. even though he may not
rank as tinancier, has just returned
from Europe. Current scandals in
commercial life, he says, are the talk
OF the hour in Europe and it is a
matter Of shame to any American to
hear his, eountrymen referred to as
swindlers and sha-pers. Mr.. Mabie
fears that our business prospects and
the respect in which our fnanciers
have heretofore been held have been
changed. To-day in England, Ger
many and France the American, when
finance is discussed. must be prepared
to meet the faint smile and quiet sheer
Of contempt. This is a penalty we
have to pay. for the wrong-doing of the
big men Of the American money world,
who have long abused confidence re-
posed in them and managed their
trusts for their own profits rather than
for the benefits of the people they rep
resented. 1t will not do, however, to
take a too hopeless view of this sit
uation. America has no monopoly of
crOOkedneSs in finance. It is true that
1T is hard to recall a time when in
foreign affairs so many names of
prominence were besmirched as in the
present New York disclosures, but
England has had its Hooleys of recent
date, and rs for France, it is the last
one entitled to set up as critic. Prin-
cipally, however, the saving feature
is American public opinion. No man
can for moment doubt that the peo-
pie of our country are right II men
who have sat in high places must fall,
If family names long honored must
have the stain Of thievery put on them,
IL regulations must be punctured
through and through with graft and
deceit, it Is better it should all come
at once. And it must be noted that
public opinion is not in favor Of spar
ing any one, but clamors rather for
full exposition of all the iniquity and
the throwing out Of the grafters and
thieves.

Chandler on the Rate Bill.

In an interview in the Indian
apolis News Ex-senator Chandler
had the following to say of the rail
road rate bill passed at the last
session of congress. Senator
Chandler cannot be accused of be
ing a reformer, but he can read the
signs OF the times and estimate the
value of important measures:
1.-THE passage of the railroad rate
bill itself was a work Of reform OF
the most radical character.
"The combined railroads Of the
country had determined that there
should be no competition among
the railroads and no hindrance put
in the way OF an increase Of rail-
road earnings derived from routs
which ::should be all that the traffic
would bear until interest should be
paid on $14, 900, 900, 900 Of capital
ization of railroads worth only
81, 600, 900, 900.
''The reformers determined that
the power of controlling, limiting
aud reducing railroad rates should
be exercised by the government,
acting through the Interstate Com
merce commission.
"The victory Of the reformers:: over
the railroads was a tremendous one.
The people triumphed over the
hugest combination in the unscrup-
ulous hands Of the money powers
that America has ever known; and
the effect of the victory of the
friends Of the people over the plu-
tocratic oligarehy, which thought
itself omnipotent and invulnerahle,
will be far-reaching and lasting.
It has changed forever the whole
relation between the people and the
public utility corporations.
1.-THE railroad rate bill and all that
is involved therein and implied
threby, is the sgreatest reform in
which has been acheiv-
ed without war since the founda-
tion of the republic. Till it's passage
the railroads owned the political
of the nation; now the
people own it. "

Wrong Flavor for Bath,

A travelling man who sells favoring
extracts registered at one of the large
hotels yesterday and told the clerk
that he wanted bath. The city
water was exceedingly muddy, but
the clerk forgot that. He assigned the
guest to room with a private bath
attached. Fifteen minutes later the
clerk was called to the house tele-
phone. 1t was the new arrival who
wanted him.
"Hey." called the travelling man.
you've given me the wrong flavor"
What do you mean?" asked tho
puzzled clerk.
''yve got a chocolate bath here,
was the reply. RI want vanilla.

Fire at the Chautauqua Grounds,

There was a little fire scare at
the Chautauqua grounds yesterday
afternoon. While..the occupants of
the Town tent were getting dinner
some gasoline got out on the
stove and fiared up. Two of the
ladies had their clothing scorched
and the clothing of Clifford Love-
less, who assisted in putting out
the flames, also caught fire and
he jumped into the lake to put it
out. No serious damage was done
