Senator Allison is quoted as looking
with favor on Mr.. Cleveland's revival
of the old plea for pensions to our ex-
Presidents. He has no specific plan,
but he expects the subject will be
presented in Congress and that some
thing will come of it. Mr.. Cleveland
modestly disclaims any desire for a
pension himself. He is fairly we'll off
in this worlds goods and he has car
ried with him to his Princeton home
the esteem of the American people;
and he by no means finds it a melan
choly business to be an ex-President.
Was Mr. Cleveland thinking of his
friend Theodore Roosevelt when he
referred to conditions that may arise
in the future" that would render a
pension to ex-Presidents desirable?
That Mr.. Roosevelt may constitute
the most difficult problem as an ex
President that the country has en-
countered is rather generally conced-
ed; but one thing is certain, and that
is that Mr.. Roosevelt will find the po-
sition no more melancholy than has
Mr.. Cleveland. We do not think he
will need, or would accept, pension.
MIR. Roosevelt is in the very prime of
life and there is nothing to prevent
his duplicating Mr.. Cleveland,s ca
reer and coming back to Presidency
for another term. Indeed the political
possibilities of Mr.. Rooseyelt's future
are almost endless. On the whole, it
cannot be said that our ex Presidents
have constituted an unhappy specta-
Gle of late years at least. Nor have
they been compelled to resort to un-
dignified ways of gaining liyeli'
hood.

NEARING THE LIMIT.

As a sample of Puritanical intoler- ence an occurrence in Connecticut just about reaches the limit On last Thurs day there was State convention of the Prohibitionists, and one member, with a proper conception of what was right and proper. offered a resolution of regret upon the death of Grover Cleveland, speaking of his high char acter as "a man and a statesman" The resolution at once brought out violent and bitter opposition from the cranis in control of the convention. They took the position that nobody could be statesman who was not a Prohibition ist and who did not actively antagonize the liquor trafIic.' To their everlasting shame and discredit be 1t said that a majority of the delegates took the same view and the resolution was voted down. We agree with The Butte h. ter Mountain when it says
 A public meeting of Americans who
 would refuse to endorse Grover Cleye- land as a statesman because he did not believe in. or practice. prohibition is made up of cranks of the worst sort. And that is putting 1t mildly ridiculously mildly.
 The Inter Mountain Is 8 Republican newspaper. but 1t has a proper sstim- ate of the fitness of things in case of this kind. and we agree with 1t that calling these people cranks is putting 1t "ridiculously mildly" Much severer terms might be applied to them without violating the ruleR of parlia' meptary usage. It is impossible to be- lieve that such minded intol- erants can help any cause they advo> cate. but rather they drive away fair minded and right-thinking people whs might otherwise be with them. Any organization of any kind which expects to thrive by maligning the great dead is pretty apt to find itself mistaken. as 1t should do.

Mhnt Wnshington Lael1s.

s'we read so much about WashihsSo heinz the most beautiful and nysienlc city in the world that am really muSn disappointed to find that some or the moe; imnortant measures for the pre- Eeryation of health and comfort or the neonla are almost entirely lacking.
 This statement was made by Arthur c. Elliott. a civil engineer of London.
 ..Washington has about 3b0,000 tn- habitants. and there is not one public bath; not even one. Just think or lt. I understand you have what you cali a bathing beach, but you know that does not serve the purpose. Bathing in public, like the bathing beach, is all right for young men and boys, but 1t will never do for women and young ladies and men. And. furthermore, the bathing beach Is a long distance from most parts of the city, and the people who should take advantage of 1t have not the necessary car fare 10 take them there.
 .There should be at least ten public bathing houses in this city; In fact, every public and other school public swimming pool and playground. You can easily realize that with public bathing accomodations scattered throughout the city, the health of the inhabitants would experience q great upward move. {"
 Another peculiar observation l have made Is this: All your drinking places are closed up on Sundays, but you don't provide for public drinking fountains where poor person might quench his thirst free of charge. You may say that drug stores sell soda water, and I will reply that the poor have no money for soda water. and still they are thirsty. This is one point which should be looked into. If they were to put up public drinking foun- talns and give the poor man a chance to Quench his thirst without being compelled to go to a saloon or drug store. they would certainly achieve practical results. walked for miles today, and it was hot and sultry. was thirsty, and I wanted a cool. clear glass of water. l could not get 1t any where. I had to finally go to a drug store and drink that questionable con- coction which is called soda water.
 There Is another thing Washington is lacking, and that Is public convent ence stations. You overlook the prac- tical things, which Is strange for Americans to do, and pay more atten- tion to beautiful buildings, statues and shade trees, all of which are absolute ly necessary to make a city beautiful But before the beautiful always comes the hygoienic"

would be just where they were peiors' except that they would own the as gregate property in two pieces lns.ea1 of in one as now. The managers oi the stockholders. 1t goes without say ing. would be equally comforts nle. And we may not doubt that the legal talent of the country would be up to the task of devislng as many other schemes to work out tiiis problem as 1t
 might be deemed advisable to ern- ploy.
 As for Senator ForAker's assertion that legislative conditions prevent any return of prosperity for years to come" the simple ahswer is that. not withstanding his bilious point of view. business is growing more active and prosperity more marked every day, with heavier trafic for the railroads. mills and factories reopening. and American wage-earners returning to work by the hundreds of thousands. Every one wants to see the increasing business grow until 1t shall equal what 1t was a year or so ago. but nobody who takes the pains to consider the facts can doubt that the nations in- dustriai automobile Is picking up fast on the grade.

Railroad Earnings.

Washington Post.
 For the fiscal year just closed the gross below the return of the previous year Sl0s, 00s, ,S46, and the net earnings for the same period showed reduction of 11a1,- 27S,S02. From that 1t would appear that the octopus is pretty well chased.
 When will the intelligence of the Ameri- can people be educated to the knowledge that the true interests of the railroads are the true interests of the people? When eve- rybody is at work at remunerative earnings the farmer. the miner, the artisan. the scholar in his study-then the railroads prosper. and in time of depression the rail- roads suffer in precise proportion to the losses of the public.
 It would be novel thing to do, and per- haps a good thing as well. for the poiiti- the business they possibly can at every de- pot in the country. Of course. that would put some great men out of business but 1t would make work for thousands of hands now in enforced idleness.
 When the panic struck the railroad last fall, instinctively those corporations sought to retFench, and one of the methods they purposed to employ was reduction of wages 4 veto was put on that. Then they sought to increase earnings by an advance put on that. The word went forth that the railroads should neither increase earn ings nor retrench expenses in times of stress. We see the effect in the foregoing statistics.
 At Denver they are going to demand that the railroads of the country be valued" and that the rates shall be exactly adjust ed so that every railroad in the country shall pay all expenses and fixed charges and it's stock at all times sell on change exactly at par.
 And the Denver powwow Is not lunatie asylum, either.

ANOTHER DECISION.

Now listen for some more fervid and raucus oratory from the seif-appointed guardians of i've. the people" over an- other invasion of the rights of the common people. all brought about by the action of a Federal court in Chi cago, an account of which we find fin The Philadelphia Record. It seems that the railroads centering in that city have been charging two dollars for transferring a carload of live stock from the freight yards to the stock yards. The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the charges reduc- ed to one dollar a carload. and the railroads applied to the Federal Court for an injunction and the court granted it, enjoining the enforcement of the reduced rate on the ground that two dollars is reasonable charge.
 Tn their rendition of the restraining order the three judges constituting the court held that the Commission misun- derstood and misapplied the law when they issued the order. Tt is not in- dispensabie.' says the Court. "to the correction by the Federal Court of an error of law into which the commis- sion has fallen. whereby a specific rate is made unreasonably low. that the ag- grieved party should prove that the ef- feet of this unreasonably low rate will make its entire business unprontable. It is enough that the reduced rate is unjust and unreasonable
 Now we may reasonably expect some more outbursts against the interference of the Federal Courts with business af- fairs. and may expect mouthing orators to demand that laws be passed to pre- vent railroads from going into the Fed eral Courts for relief. It is true that the Interstate Commerce Commission is a Federal body. but in this case it was tagin the railroads" which makes 1t the friend of the people. while the court will be declared to be dominated by the soulless corporations and is therefore a public enemy. We have had ocens and floods of thfs brand of oratory in Alabama as well as in some other States, and no one need be sur prised If some Legislature passes law to prohibit railroads and other corpor- ations from appealing to the courts under any circumstances. Such laws would be in direct line with much of the unbaked and ill-advised laws that now cumber the statute books of more than one State. in most cases rushed through the Legislature by order of e Governor. In all such cases we may reasonably expect the courts to do justice to both the railroads and the people and brush aside unfair and un- just laws and regulations. whether the same are the work of legislative bodies or of commissions.

Not g Flute for Anybody to Play On.

washington Post.
 All of us in this town know Henry Clayton. and we admire him for his parts and love him for his virtues. Mir. Clayton is to be permanent president of the Denver powwow. He has been to Lincoln and was there admitted to the precincts within the wells. Mir, Clayton went on to Denver and made proclamation, ex cathedra. that 1t was imperative that George Gray be the tail of the ticket.
 Why7 Simply this-that Mfr. Clayton with some idea of the harmonies. sees the neces- sity of having some Democracy on the ticket there is no pretense that anybody wants Gray. They are not hypocrites enough that Is absolutely charming that while they abominate everything for which George Gray stands. they need him in their busi- ness and intend to draft him for the work of giving the ticket an air Of Democracy.
 It will not work. We do not believe that George Gray is flute for him that will to play upon.

Doh issues fn tne zn0 Ufstrfcts Editor Advertiser:
 notice that the question of issues in the Congressional race Is being dis cussed. After January 1st, Alabama takes her place among the prohibition States of the Union. We have laws on the Statue Books of our State sufficient to make 1t very warm for those who violate the prohibition laws. We need an anti-shipping law, which will pre- vent dealers from outside prohibition State shipping their goods into the dry States. Such bill was before the last Congress and my information is all of Aiabama's Congressman, except maybe one, were in favor of It's pas sage. No doubt a majority of the voters in the End Congressional Dist rict are in favor of such a law.
 Would 1t not be well for the candt- dates to announce where they stand on the question of an interstate anti- shipping law? Will they advocate and work for the passage of such a lawf The liquor business is opposed to it for it puts the knife at the throat of all those who are now fattening at the expense of the people who live in pro- hibition territory.
 The man who refuses to announce on this question puts himself sduareiy on the side of the liquor trade and pro- hibition voters will know what to do
 Let the candidates speak out on this greatest question before the people or ". B. Crumpton.
