The death of Grover Cleveland
leaves the country for a time without
a single living ex-president. 1t also
emphasizes anew the fact that since the
birth of the republic nothing has been
done to invest an ex-president with any
other title or position than that which
attaches to a distinguished private citi-
zen, retired from the highest office
within the gift of the people.
What shall we do with our ex-presi-
dents?" has been a periodically dis
cussed question and various answer
have been proposed without eliciting
any consensus of approval. The most
seriously considered plan has been to
provide a seat of perpetual tenure In
the United State senate by which the
experience and service of the former
executive could be drawn into requisi-
ton for making the nations laws. mas
much as such membership in the SEN
ate would have to be without vote In
order to avoid destroying the inviolable
equality the states as represented In
the senate. 1t is hardly likely that an
advisory s%enatorship would appeal
strongly to any man who has once oc-
cupied the White House.
Another suggestion has been for a
civil pension large enough to insure a
life of ease and comfort without i'm
posing any reciprocal obligations. The
idea is to place an e~X-president In the
same class with a retired army officer
or a superannuated supreme judge as
proof of the nations recognition of ser
vice already rendered, but a d%o-nothing
career of a government pensioner is
not an ~alluring picture for the ordt-
nary citizen, much less for the man who
has held a most exhalted position and
ACQUIRED habits of industry without
being incapacited for service. 1t Is
readily conceded that the offer of a
pension in the nature of a bounty
would have been respectfully but
firmly declined by the distinguished eX-
president who has just passed away.
There is nothing to prevent ex-presi-
dents from re-entering public life, but
the presidents, for the most part, are
all for the quiet pursuit of a private
career. Mr.. Cleveland managed to take
care of himself with conspicuous self
reliance after he relinquished his token
of official authority and it will prob
ably be a notable exception to the rule
whenever an ex-presidcnt is for any
reason unable to maintain himself in
befitting station on his W resources
The country can be depended upon TO
meet the requirements of an unusual
situation as it may develop, but in the
interval will be strongly disposed to
let it's ex-presidents work out their own
salvation.

FITNESS -pRE-EMlNENT.

II there is one keynote sentiment
characterizing all the comment on the
work Of the Chicago convention, 1t is
that in making William H. Taft the
party standard bearer, the nomination
was awarded to the one man pre-emi-
nently fitted TO fill the Office Of presi-
dent Of the United States. U%nfriendly
critics, as we'll as enthusiastic admir-
ers, agree that nowhere Is to be found
such a combination of training for
public life and experience in govern
ment administration, of judicial tenn
permanent and tried executive ability,
of breadth Of character, proved integ-
rity and calm courage as is to be
found in the republican nominee.
That Mr.. Taft possesses in the high
est degree all the qualifications that
are likely to be called into requisition
by a chief executive of a nightly re-
public is everywhere conceded. When
II comes to the formal expression of
preference at the ballot box the people
will not, it may confidently be asserted,
ignore the question of pre-eminent Mt
ness to perform the responsible duties
of the presidential Office. In choosing
a head to conduct the affairs of a ma
ton of so, 900, 900 of people. possess
ing billions Of wealth and untold re-
sources, the verdict will be determined
by the same considerations that would
be vital in the selection of a new head
for a great business corporation whose
stockholders were mainly intent upon
entrusting their property to a man
ager in whose ability to handle II
wisely and successfully they could re-
pose implicit confidence.

The Master Car Builders associa-
ton of America, should be hailed with
appreciation by the travelling public.
One day of its session at Atlantic City
was devoted to the discussion OF i'm
proved methods of heating and venti-
lating passenger and sleeping cars and
the association decided by a unanimous
vote to recommend to the different
railways an entire change in the con-
struction of cars for future use. 1t was
agreed that indirect heating and venti-
lation should be used in all new cars,
the air being introduced under the
berths and seats and exhausted near
the roof.
1t is interesting to note that the as
ISOLATION made a special effort to OBJ
tain information from the Pullman
company about its ventilating expert
ences and it's plans for betterments, but
the company replied that it had moth
ing to present. Among the recommends
tions adopted by the association are
the following:
Ample openings for fresh air should be
provided under the lower berths of sleep
ing cars.
A slight excess pressure or balance of
pressure should be maintained inside of
a car when the windows and doors are
closed, in order to exclude incoming
draughts at the windows and crevices. This
can only be accomplished by driving the
air into the car a little faster than 1t is
drawn out, and means that the movement
Of the air must be made to pass through
the car, largely by driving It in, rather
than by drawing It out by means of strong
exhaust ventilators.
An ideal system would be one in which
the pressure were balanced and the amount
of air passed through the car was entirely
Independent Of the speed of the train.
Sleeping cars, in such service, as requires
the cars to stand at terminals during a
considerable portion OF the night should be
especially fitted with an auxiliary forced
draught ventilating system, in addition to
the regular ventilating system OF the car.
Air should be admitted to and exhausted
from a car without its being perceptible to
the passengers, and It should not pass
through the car in decided draughts when
the car is closed, The entering currents,
therefore, should be admitted so as not to
come In direct contact with the passengers.
Under the existing system of car
heating and ventilation, the traveller is
usually alternating between refriger-
ator and oven temperature, to his great
physical annoyance n discomfort, If
not to a positive n to health. The
adoption of the recommendations of
the master car builders, by making
railrad travel a pleasure instead of a
penance, would come as a real boon to
the travelling public and a source of
profit to the companies.

THE GnHERNmENT ON GUARD.


Several Central American newspa-
pers and some democratic editors in
this country are criticising the author
tiles at Washington for having war
ships on both coasts of Panama for
the purpose of insuring a peaceful
election in that republic today
when a successor to President Amador
is to be chosen. These newspapers as
sert that the United States is menacing
the independence of Central America
and attempting to play favorites IN the
selection of the candidates.
The democratic charges In this in
stance are wholly unfounded. The
government of the United States is sim
ply preparing to discharge an obliga-
ton and a duty to which it is pledged
by the treaty between this country and
the republic of Panama. Conditions
are critical at Panama. The natives
of the republic, with a marked incapac-
ity for self-government, have carried
their ante-election plans to the point
where there is every prospect of a rev.
olution, no matter which way the bal
lots 60, unless the United States au-
thoritles intervene to the point of pre-
serving order and securing a fair cleo
ton and an honest count. Marines
have been stationed at each side of the
isthmus and the regular troops on duty
on the canal ZONE are in readiness to
meet any emergency. They VIII not
be stationed on Panama territory and
will take no part in the election unless
their services are necessary for the Rro-
lection of life and property and the
integrity of the Panama election. This
duty is placed on the American gov
by the constitution of the re-
public of Panama, which contains the
provision that the government of the
United States OF America can intervene
in any part of the republic of Panama
for the purpose of establishing the pub
lie peace and constitutional order in
event of the same having been dis
turbed." In addition TO this constitu-
tional warrant, the treaty between
Panam and the United States pro-
vides:
Right and authority are granted TO the
United states for the maintenance OF pub
lie order in the cities of Panama and Colon
and the territories and harbors adjacent
thereto. in case the republic of Panama
should not be, in the judgment of the
United States, able to maintain such or
der.
Under these provisions no room is
left TO question the authority OF
the United States to act in n emer
gency in Panama, the results OF which
might contain a menace to this gov
ernment's great interests in the Pan
ANA canal zone. The safety of that
property, involving the expenditure of
hundreds OF millions Of dollars, would
Justify the United States in taking
prompt measures for the preservation
Of peace and order on the isthmus,
even If there was no warrant in the

From Russian official sources comes
a striking illustration of that nations
poor claim to recognition by civilized
people. In the riots at Bialistok in
1905 nearly 100 persons were killed
and an equal number wounded in a
savage, ruthless butchery of defense
less and unarmed men, women and
children. Most of the murder was
done by the soldiers, without provoca-
ton. After three years the Russian
government has announced that justice
has been melted out in that one man
has been sent to prison for three years,
thirteen have been given prison terms
of from six months to n year and
fifteen have been acquitted.
In the testimony produced the gov
eminent officials professed TO believe
that the massacre was justified be-
cause the victims, most of whom were
Jews, had terrorized the police and the
officials. The preposterousness OF this
p~retense is shown by the fact that the
Jews in Bialistok, as in many other
parts of Russia, were not allowed to
bear arms-and there is little evidence
that they ever desired to do so-and
the claim is made simply as a lame
excuse before the world for the in
fanny which was prepared for and ar
ranged by the officials and either per-
petrated by the soldiers or openly
abetted and encouraged by the police
hirelings. IL was not even disputed
that the police and the soldiery made
no effort to prevent the massacres, but
aided in the killing and the outrages.
No one outside Of Russian Official
circles will contend that the Russian
Jews were murderously inclined, re-
belled against authority or planned or
made any attack upon the Russians.
On the contrary, everyone knows that
they are oppressed, d~efenseless and
kept in a state Of abieet terror by the

THE STUDY or INSANITY.

Having contributed millions to diff
ferent funds for the Advancement of
medical science and other research
work, Henry Phipps Of Pittsburg has
made another useful contribution to
the service Of humanity by assigning
100000 in trust to equip Johns Hop
ktns university for the study of insan-
ity, with the promise of a provision for
its maintenance. The establishment
OF this plant for the care and cure of
those afflicted with mental disease and
for the study of their disorders will
mark a real forward step in the treat
ment of the insane.
1t is somewhat remarkable, and not
wholly creditable to the medical pro-
f%ession, that so little systematic effort
has been made for the treatment of the
diseases Of the brain. AS far back as
records run there has been specialized
care for the sick in every part Of the
body except the brain, and so marked
has been the development of medical
NANb tAC no VI bOully uloOdpVG
now recognized as incurable has been
reduced to a minimum. At the same
time, while the 800 public or private
asylums for the insane in this country
contain 10000 patients, insanity is
on the increase, not only in America,
but in all civilized countries. Much
has been done to mitigate the condi-
ton of asylum inmates, but compare
lively little for the prevention of in
sanity.
Medical science has recently become
convinced that there is functionally no
no difference between mental diseases
and diseases of the various organs of
the body, 1t Is being proved that
brain diseases are durable when the
proper precautions are taken in time.
The opportunity for the advancement of
this work makes Mr.. Phipps' gift one
of the greatest foundations made in
this country to the interest of hui
mainly.

A NIGHT IN JUNE.


st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
oh, for an endless night in June,
When the mellow light of the rising moon
Ilumines earth, and the whippoorwill
Calls from the forest on the hill.
And the idle, drifting, fireless light
With phantom phosphorus the caves
And the dark recesses of the leaves.
Soft is the night and soft the wind,
And soft are the hearts of human kind,
And yonder bright, approving eye
Is Venus in her western sky.
A time for love and loves young dream,
For the wind to sigh and the moon to beam,
And the gondoliers with voices deep
To sing In rhythm with the sweep
on such a night the troubadour
Was wont to sing to some demure,
Imprisoned maid, whose tender heart
Made small resistance TO his art.
With such a moon, Marc Antony
Went barging on the inland sea,
And saw reflected in the green,
Deep flood of Nile, his beauteous queen
At such a time came Romeo
To Juliet, and ere the glow
OF daWning day bid him bestlr
He eased his pain with a sight OF her.
In such a spell, for love of maid
Has suitor sung his ~serenade,
And sued to win, and lost TO grieva
Since Adam told his love TO Eve.
Oh, for an endless night in June,
When the mellow light Of the rising moOn
Illumines earth, and the whippoorwH
Calls from the forest on the hill.
