STILL THAT OR NOTHING.

As the time for voting on the Aldrich bill draws near the talk that it is that or nothing revives Senator Aldrich hopes to get the bill voted on in the Senate by the latter part of this week, and is confident that it will pass that body. There is also pretty confident talk that it will pass the House. This is the curious way in which "A New England Senator is said to reason about the matter: I believe that the public discussion in congress and in the press this winter educated the peo- pie to an appreciation of the fact that our currency system should be com pletely overhauled. Personally. look for scientific reorganization of that system in the next two or three years. Of course, the Aldrich bill Is patch work. We may not have to avail our selves of its provisions for dozen years, but we ought to have 1t, or something of the kind. in case of an emergency. I think this fact, coupled with a sort of belief that completely rev currency system, within a few years, is inevitable, will be a factor in gaining votes in the House for the Aid rich bill from members who are not satisfied with it's provisions.
 If that is the way members of Con gress are reasoning almost anything can be expected Voting for bad bill because a good one is in sight is queer voting. It will be decidedly interest ing. as well as important, to see what really does happen The Aldrich bill or nothing is hardly an adequate plat form, but many seem to continue to stand on it.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

It is not to be wondered at that the article which appeared exclusively in the news columns of The Morning Journal-Courier from the pen of MT Stevens upon the subject of the Pana- ma Canal should have caused com ment in the newspapers of the coun- try.
 They by no means agree upon the motive which controlled him. and it Is noticeable that the great majority shy at it as If adverse comment would constitute "lese majesty" The Louisville Courier-Journal comes nearest the truth when it says: Tt may be that Mir. Stevens, convinced that the canal will he a failure. desires in good faith to lay what appears to him to he the truth before the Amer ican people as a matter of moral duty" Our esteemed Kentucky con temporary may omit the interrogatlve style of contemplation and make 1t di- rect That is exactly Mir. Stevens purpose. 10 perform an important public duty.
 There is still another extract to be made from the columns of our Ken lucky contemporary in this connec- ton. It is this: "Mr. Stevens indict- ment of the canal venture is one of the most powerful yet produced-and there have been many powerful argu- ments against it in the past few years. Those who have looked upon the ac- quisition of the Panama scheme as a scandalous stock -jobbing deal. put through by William Nelson Cromwell and sleek f1nanciers, discern in MT. Stevens words much to confirm the conviction"

 we cannot too highly praise the purpose of this notable book, which is to reform the methods now commonly In use in the treatment of insane pa tients. The call for such organiza- tions as shall further instruct the peo- pie Of the country in a deeper realiza- tion of the fearful errors which are being persstently continued should receive lively response.

ouR CONTEMPORARIES. Preparing for Revision.
tThe Washington star.)


 Too much has been made out of the matter of preparing for tariff revision, While by no means a holiday job. 1t is not ono of mammoth proportions. The whole machinery of the government need not be turned in that direction for twelve months prior to action. Nu- merous as the schedules are, and im- portant as 1t Is that all figures be cor rect, an excellent tariff bill can be put into shape in a short time. The truth Is that valuable statistics are obtaina- hle at any time from the most reliable trade sources bearing upon the whole tariff subject The Dingley bill, the most successful measure of the kind ever drafted. required only a few months in the making. Thoroughly capable men were at work, and they worked with the rapidity of aualifica- tions.

to bear 1t until the last moment It is this sort of situation which com pels men of every grade in labor to think as they never thought before of the consequences of ill-advised and poorly thought out legislative enter prises, enterprises creditable in pur- pose and motive but possibly serious and far reaching in their misunder- standing of the laws of economies. Even the most attractive theory Tn the world is avoided until it has been subjected to the test of practical experience. The fight of thousands or years has been centered on the en- forcement of the golden rule. but civ iliation has never yet insisted that it should be enforced regardless Of other considerations. A realization of the weakness of human nature has come in to soften the blow.
 It is at this point that the words of Woodrow Wilson, the president or Princeton university fall upon fertile soil: ''The acts of corporations them selves must be checked, not by futile and blunderng attempts to dictate to each corporation how its business shall be conducted. but by bringing the officials directly to book who are responsible for forbidden or question able transactions These are words of wisdom and they are spoken at critical moment when both the rall- roads and their employees fear in- creased suffering and protest against it.

THE LIBERTY LEAGUE.

Chicago is the headquarters of the Liberty league. The Liberty league is an organization formed and backed by liquor interests. Its object is to op- pose and if possible turn back the wave of prohibition which is sweeping over the country. The claim is made for it that since October a general body has been organized in every State in the Union, The body is secret and the names of its officers are guarded with great care. The States are or ganized by local lodges or chapters in which the membership is oath bound as to policies and methods of proceed ure The league will scrutinize all candidates for public office in regard to their prohibition views.
 The story of this action Is told cir cumstantally enough to make # seem true. If it Is true 1t can be said that the Liberty league hasn't chosen a very good name. Of course there Is some liberty in the right to sell or drink rum, but not any more than there Is In the right to oppose the sell ing and drinking of it. The secret quality of the league will not commend 1t. Nor will its announcement of an intention to go into politics, If the Liberty league ls what it Is said to be, and if 1t is going to act as it Is said to be going to act, 1t is quite possible that the more 1t acts the less 1t will gain. The members of the Liberty league may, and probably do, think that they have as much right to run the country, or try to run it, as the prohibitionists have, but they are likely to get some unpleasant surprises if they seek to establish that right in the way announced.

X NOTABLE BOOK.

A book which is sure 10 make a sensation among the humanitarians of the country is placed upon the market to-day. It Is by citizen of New Ha- ven. graduate of the public schools and of the university, Clifford w. Beers. and is entitled "A Mind That Found Itself" It Is thrilling sory of the manner in which the writer lost his reason, the experiences he had while an inmate of institutions for the care of the insane. the way In which he recovered the use of his mind and the reasons why he considers 1t his duty to take the civilized world into his confidence. It Is vastly more powerful and convincing book than DeQuincys, which mp. to the present moment. has held the attention of the world as classic study of abnormal mental condition
 Judged as human document the book would attract and deserve con sideration but MT Beers disclaims all intention of ndulging a fancy for book writing. He does not pose as a writer of books. but the fact Is, how ated with the purpose he has in mind that his chapters read with the thrill of a highly polished work of romance. Obviously the subject Is not pleas ant one, Society has taught itself to regard persons of unsettled and un- balanced minds as in class by them selves, and has in taking this false at titude put its approval upon methods of incarceration and treatment which such men as Mir Beers feel called upon to cry out against in the market place, where society is and where society must hear, even if 1t raises its fingers to its ears One has but to read the book, as we have done in manuscript. to he convinced that the writer has not alone recovered his health:. his intellect has been sharpened and de- veloped by an experience which few men could be induced to undergo vol- untarily.

Ii comes from man who had his wits about him most of the time. but who. neverthe- less was powerless to convince his at tendants that they were proceeding along the wrong lines to effect a cure In this respect the book Is fascinating to a thoughtful person. It stimulates the imagination and leads one to won der why it is that those who should be expert in the handling of the in sane should never have thought out a method of treatment from the point of view of the possible sensitiveness of the patient. It does even more. if leads one to contemplate with appre- hension the follies which perhaps lie at the bottom of other systems of health cure, and which lie there for no other reason than the one that sound philosophy has never dug as

GOOD WORK IN PROVIDENCE.

The Providence Journal feels abund- antly Justified because it strongly ad- vised depositors In the Union Trust Company of Providence to have conf dence in the plans of the receivers who were appointed. The record of ac- complishment which the receivers have made is unusual. They have secured re leases of almost ninety-slx per cent. Of the deposits Of the accounts that have not been released those outside of Rhode Island but In the United States represent IT per cent; foreign ac- counts. .97 per cent; unknown, IS per cent: outstanding checks. .62 per cent. and bank releases. 50 per cent. Re- gardlng the unreleased claims in Rhode Island they are but 121 per cent. of the total amount, and against these there Is .22 per cent. of offsets.
 This is good work. Now if the re- ceivers will do equally good work in cleaning up and closing up the affairs of the Trust company they will have an addition to the merited praise they are now receiving.
