The Ice Crop.

There will be little distress on the score
of a possible failure" of the Ice crop this
winter owing to the long stretch of mild
weather in all parts of the north. So per-
feet are the means of manufacturing Ice,
and so we'll equipped are all cities now
with ice plants. that the open winter should
not cause any suffering next summer for
the lack of the cooling blocks. It Is pos
sible, of course, that the ice manufacturers,
with their eye always open to the main
chance of trade. will take advantage Of the
lack of natural Ice in the wholesale martet
to push up the price Of the artificial
product few per cent. Such maneuver,
however. would be altogether unjustifable.
There Is no such competition between the
two forms of ice. that made by nature and
that made by man. as to warrant the fiuo-
tuatfon of the price of the latter according
to the scarcity or plenty of the former.
The cost Of the manufacture Of artificial
Ice remains substantially the same from one
year to another. The only factor that can
cause a rise or fall is the market vari-
alton in the price of ammonia, or such
other cooling agents as may be used The
prime element of ice manufacture Is water,
and that is always cheap
AS for the so-cailed failure of the Ice crop
this winter. 1t comes as a singular successor
to the failure Of a season or two ago, when
it was averred that there had been too
much winter for the satisfaction of the ice
gatherers There was SO much snow that
1t was difficult to cut and store the product,
and the strange anomaly was proclaimed
Of a season too severe for a profitable har-
yesting of the ice crop.

past two decades In the iessening of the
percentage of danger to life from disease
Is a continuous succession of marveis,
which have greatly stimulated hope that
eventually every one of the hitherto stub
born Affections will become amenable to
treatment
Even In the same range of dispatches
with the news of the Ohio proposal
comes the announcement of the discovery
In the Cornell University laboratories of
serum for the cure Of a rare disorder KNOWN
as Graves Disease, and scientifically as
exophthalmic goitre, which up to this time
has been regarded as practically incurapie.
save by operation, and rarely then. Unless
permanent relief is given by surgery the
patient suffers greatly through swelling
of the thyroid gland In the neck and the
bulging of the eyeballs. Death finally re-
suits from the suffdsion through the sys-
tenn of a poison secreted by the gland. The
newly discovered treatment consists of the
preparation of a serum by the incubation
of small animals with the contents of
diseased thyroid gland. This serum is in
jected into the patient every other day for
about two weeks, when, as far as results
have thus far gone, the symptoms OF the
disease disappear permanently.
In the same run of dispatches comes word
from Edinburgh that the famous Scotch
surgeon. w. F. Robertson, has announced
that experiments conducted by himself and
two colleagues since 1902 tend to show that
paralysis and its allied disease, tables dor
sails are of a specific character. caused by
a mcro-organism resembling the diphtheria
bacillus. which is constantly present in the
alimentary and respiratory regions and
also in the blood and cerebro-spinal fluid.
In the light of past experiences it is not too
much to hope that the discovery of the
specific organism of paralysis Will be fol-
lowed eventually, perhaps soon, by the dis
covery of it's specific cure.
The hopeless invalid of today may be
entirely restored to health five years hence
No man can tell when the limit of the adj
vance against disease is to be reached. Some
claim that we are only on the threshold or
physiological discoveries and accomplish
ments and that another generation Will
have a stronger hold upon life than any
that mas preceded it within the range OF
history.

BeIated Justice.

Justice has at last found a way to ad-
minister punishment to one of those guilty
of the criminal negligence which caused
the Slocum horror on the East river eigh-
teen months ago. One attempt after All
other was made after the first outburst OF
public Indignation had subsidized, but with
out result. 1t seemed impossible to apply
the laws. Certain reforms We're worked
out in the steamboat inspection service.
but the demand of the people that those
whose cupidity or Incompetence or negIi-
gence had contributed to the catastrophe
should be brought to book was apparently
beyond the powers of the courts to grant.
Now Capt. Van Schaick, who commanded
the Slocum, has after protracted trial
been convicted of criminal negligence In
falling to have fire drills on the steamer
He was for that offense clearly viola
ton of the statutes regarding the duties
of the commanders OF ships, sentenced TO
ten years Imprisonment. The jury dis
agreed on two counts relative to the poor
quality of the life preservers on the Slo-
cum. This disagreement may be set down
as one of the ipexplicable vagares of petit
juries If there was one fact that stood
forth clearly above all others 1t was that
the life preservers on the steamboat were
Cutrageously, criminally untrustworthy ami
inadequate Nevertheless the sentence ad-
ministered to the convicted man suttices FOR
all moral purposes whatever may have
been the basis of the jury's verdict OF
guilty. His conviction stands as a vindca-
ton of the law, however belated, and how
ever isolated In view of the wide range or
others equally responsible with Captain
Van Schaick for the bad condition of az
fairs on the Slocum.

France and Castro.

rrto I7r,,,,b Government has acted in the
Venezuelan matter with an eye 10 the uia
,,,,+to crfact without which a true French
man would be desolated. 1t has decideu
upon a course of action against the onstrep-
erous Castro. but It declines TO announce
its character. InaSmuch as II Is agreeu Oh
all sides that Castro is one OF the most
difficult individuals in the world TO PUNISH
with the possible exception OF the sultan
of Turkey the most difficult, indeed-there
will be much curiosity regarding the exact
method of procedure TO be pursued IN thlS
case. frances grievance Is partly financial,
partly sentimental. The French Cable Com
many has suffered pecuniarily and its claims
are the basis of the whole disagreement
The French government has suffered In
feeling through the cavalier treatment OF
its diplomatic representative by Castro.
Therefore. to meet all the requirements of
the case. the proceedings against Castro
must be both collective and punitive. Cas-
tro must be forced TO pay and to suffer hui

mortgage upon his revenues. in the name
OF England Germany and Italy. the pre-
ferred creditors of the joint campaign
against him some time ago. Their claims
have not been satisfied and when they are,
various .other creditors remain, Including
indeed. the French government itself on
long-standing account. Thus, from the
fiscal point of view a collective expedition
will be difficult AS for the humiliation OF
the willy dictator-presdent and his admin
Istration. that IS something no one has ever
yet been able to accomplish. He hobs up
sereuely whenever pressed. He is inflated
with an extraordinary sense of his own i'm
portance and power. He is cloaked with
consciousness of virtue--Fenezuelan virtue.

purposes of self-approval If pushed to the
wall physically, he cries out that he is be-
ing martyred If only menaced by a demon
stratIon he roars that his opponent Is
afraid of him.

Croker and His Citizenship.

Richard Croker is being complimented on
his refusal to renounce his American citi-
zenship and stand for parliament. 1t is
Credtable to him. and in one way squares
with his observation-disclosures.
Mr.. Croker would cut no figure in legis-
latiye body. He has neither the informa-
ton nor the gift of expression necessary to
success there. In his younger days he
might have gone to Albany to the state
legislature. or have come here to Congress,
but he cared for neither billet. It pleased
him better to keep his headquarters In
Tammany Hall. and his hand on the ma
chine. He made and unmade Legislators.
state and national. and knew his satellites
50 intimately that the commissions they
held possessed little that was allurng to
him. He would have failed at either cap
ital
Still greater would be his failure in the
British parliament. for as a representative
OF an Irish constituency he would be ex-
pected to render John Redmond some nota-
bic services. He would be In very capable
and eloquent company, and, without the
ability either to frame measures or speak
to those framed by others, he could give no
account Of himself which would justify his
presence. As a rich man in private life
interested in Ireland's welfare he should
prove OF considerable use to the cause by
heading liberal money subscriptions to It,
As for Mr.. Crolers retention of his Amer
lean citizenship, while that may be compIi-
mented. there IL still his taste not sufH-
ciently accounted for in living abroad. Why
Is even ireland. a fair land and the home

A Problem for a Solomon.

Occasionally municipal magistrate finds
himself taxed beyond his powers and wishes
fol the wisdom of Solomon to aid him In
dispensing justice. Such a case occurred
the other day in New York. patron of a
cleaning establishment CHANGED to see,
hanging In case a dress which she recog-
nized as the wedding gown of her sister.
which had been stolen by burglar elgh-
teen months before. She called a police
man. who took the dress and filed an fnfor-
nation against the woman who had sent it
to be cleaned a vaudeville performer. The
latter Indignantly denied the theft, but adj
mitted that she had received the gown as a
present from an admirer. Rather did she
receive from him the pawn-ticket repre-
senting II. Incidentally, she paid the loan
for which it had been deposited as pledge
The dress was too large for her and she
had 1t cut down. It was positively fdenti-
fled as the one that had been stolen ana
the Judge thereupon ordered it returned to
It's rightful owner. Then arose difficulties.
First of all, the owner demanded that she
be reimbursed to pay for the alteration OF
the gown, which no longer fitted her. The
Judge considered the matter and evaded
the responsibility of the solution by declar-
Ing that his was criminal and not civil
court. Next came the proprietor of the
cleaning establishment, who asked who was
to pay her for the work on the gown. She
was referred to the actress. who refused
to pay on the ground that she had not re-
ceived the benefit of the work; then to the
true owner. who averred that she had not
soiled the gown and had not ordered 1t
cleaned. So the case rested, and there are
now three indignant women in the metropo-
lis, the owner of the gown, who bewails its
curtailment: the actress, who regrets It's
loss, and the cleaner, who wonders where
she comes into the equation. And mean
while the burglar, who may or may not be
at large, is probably chuckling over the
chain of embarrassments and problems
which he started by his simple act of pro-
fessional appropriation.

The world should go well with him then,
and all men and women be his friends. And

The New Regime in Russia.

The managing editor of the St. Peters,

lowing letter written by his star reporter
from New York:
81 wish you could hear these Americans
talk about graft and grafters. Really, 10

course 1 don't laugh. Having come hero
TO study rings and ringsters I'm on my

that my new acquaintance have to tell
me on the subject. But their figures are
SO pitifully small. and the methods dts
closed show so much foxiness and so little
boldness. To one acquainted with the MS
tory OF the old style plundering by officials
in Russia, it seems like petty larceny
like sneak-thieying. Why. there was more

in few miles of the construction of the
Siberian railroad. than there ever has been
in the choicest pickings in this town. Their
