Tho Tragedy in Portugal.

Although coming at time when
the republican element II; Portugal
was exceptionally active and when the
monarchial form of government III
that country has been sustaining some
severe shocks, there is every reason 20
believe that the tragedy there which
old story of anarchy with which every
land of Europe is SO unhappily famil-
lar. The anarchists. always on the
watch there as in other countries OF

suit the king and crown prince lie
cold in death. young boy is on the
throne. and a queen and mother is
broken hearted. The monarchy lives
and will continue, and the assassins
accomplish nothing more than the
brutal slaughter of the moment and the
forfeit of their oWr worthless lives.
Had they succeeded IN killing the
second son as we'll as the father and
the first son, the monarchy would still
have survived. The absolute useless
ness and needlessness of it all is the
terrible feature in these royal assassi-
nations which have taken place i'll all
parts of Europe through so many
generations. The individual has been
killed but what he stood for has sur
vivcd. 1t is not only in the nonarchies
of the Old Wcrld that this thing has
been illustrated. Three times within
the memory of living men the president
of our own country has been stain by
an assassin. and last Saturdays crime
in Lisbon was as cruel, as unwarranted
and as unavailing for those who per-
| petratel iteas was the murder of Lin
coin or Garfield or Mckinley.
If anything, the crime will strengthen
the monarchy in Portugal rather than
weaken it, for the republican element
in that country. which has been
getting new strength in recent
years. is like all other citizens
of the kingdom. horrifed at the
assassination and only anxious for the
preservation of order and the continu.

renewed precautions to be taken ir

result in general rounding up AM

The Nevada legislature, contrary to
the expectations and predictions of
Governor Sparks. has made provisions
for n state police force. Recent events
nave demonstrated the imperative
need of something of the kind and it is
10 he hoped that the force maintained
will be sufficient to cope with any law
lccsncss which may hereafter break
on; in the various mining camps which
constitute that sovereign common
wealth. The absence of 4 militia or
anything resembling 4 police force
made necessary the presence of federal
troops when the Goldfield miners got
full of whiskey and usliness and the
confessed inability Of Nevada to deal
with the situation was a humiliating
spectacle before the world. Nevada
promised well a generation ago. but
has steadily made progress backward

upon the statehood ambitions of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico.

Again Kansas gives the world some
thing new and something good. II
comes from the little city of Merriam
and is an experiment well worth
watching. The city council of Merriam
has passed an ordinance making it a
serious offence for any person Of adult
years to retail gossip or tittle-tattle
that could be construed as rejecting
injuriously on any inhabitant of the
village and they say they are going to
entore it too. We hope they will en-
force it, and that the example of Mer-
RAM will be followed by cities nearer
home than Kansas. Of course it is too
much to expect this side of the mil
leniunl, but what IL beautiful world it
would be if the gossips and scandal
mOngers, the assassins of character
and the thieves of good names. could
be forced to attend to their own bust
ness and leave that of their neighbors
alone. If the Merriam ordinance were
generally enforced the fines collected
taxes and stockadcS would have to be
built to accommodate the overflow
from the prisons. And what II multi
tude of SNUG. nasty-n minded hypocrites
would suddenly ind their chief occupa-
ton gone!

The wrecks this winter off Cape Cod,
that graveyard of the Atlantic, are a
reminder that winter navigation on
that part Of our coast will be much
safer when the canal is completed-the
canal which has been talked about
ever since 1880 and which is at last
nctutlly in process of construction.
The completion of the canal is pro-
missed for 1910 and the total cost of the
work is set at sl2.ooO,ooo 1t is a COM
paratively easy canal to construct as
almost the entire course is through
sand and very little drilling or blasting
will be required. Two great dredgers,
each capable of doing the work of 1900
men. will do most of the shovelling.
There is not only the element Of safety
in the new Cape Cod waterway. but
probably the greatest reason for its
construction was the shorter distance
from New England to New York and
southern ports which will result. Tn,
Long Island sound route from Bosto,
TO New York will be cut from seS I,
240 miles and the outside route from
402 to 279 miles. A

1t is interesting to note that Prof.
John E. Russell, a member Of the ath-
letic council Of Williams College. an
institution which is conservative in
asserts his positive conviction that 1t
is wrong to bar from the college mines
those students who play summer base
ball for money. He expresses the hope
that Williams will change its rules in
this respect Says Prof Russell: THE
regulation is not necessary to insure
desirable athletics Two things. ana
only two things, are needtul 10 stu
dent who is fit 10 represent the college
in intercollegiate games; a., that he
be a bona fide student; CO, that he
play a clean and manly game" That
is the attitude taken by all of QUE Maine
colleges and their eligibility rules are
framed accordingly. Recent agitation,
not only at Williams but at many other
colleges, makes il seem altOSe ther
probable that the college world viii
soon come around to this honest and
common sense view. The rule against
which Prof Russell prOte SITS, is based
on snobbishness and promotes deceit
and hypocracy. 1t is unjust and in
consistent with the regulations which
control participation in other lines Of
undergraduate activity.
