A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

Lit was once thought that a
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having nasty taste and
smell. We now know lhat such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sem
ses than why food should do SO.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories Of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption Of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take plain cod liver oil, and the
emulsions are as bad, no matter
what may be alleged to the con-
trary. Now it is one of natare's
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a raedi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part OF
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains all
the curative properties of pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by
us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to tht
very secret stronghold of diges-
tive disorders, and strengthens
the system against Scrofula,
Throat and Lung Troubles AID
all diseases due to impurity Of
the blood. DIR. G. G. Shannon, of
Canada, says: - shall continue
its use with, I am sure, great adj
vantage to my patients and salts
faction to myself" It has al!
the virtues of cod LIVER oil; none
Of its faass. Sold by chemists.

things. the bosses able to parcel out the city
among them for business exploitation.
The buildings code is the biggest opportunity
for Tammany The monopoes which can be Gre
atad under ii are Of immense value. and the
misuse Of that opportunity may be much more
injurious to the city than the Old-fashioned d1-

ably some of them are. for that is the way of
Tammany. But if they are not they are still
harmful 10 the city. They prevent competition
and give to the monopolists license to charge
their own prices The high prices which they
can charge will be tax upon New York just as
much as are political waste. extravaganza and
gra 1T in the municipal government. And. more

discovered or devised. is barred out of the city.
Such a code ought to he general in its terms.
It ought only To provide n standard 10 which
any article proposed for use I'm building in this
CITY could be required 10 conform. If there
were several articles of requisite merit the city
would obtain the advantages of competition. and
the way would always be open for improvement
and invention The creation Of such monopoeS
for the benefit of Tammany as the new build
ings code appears To have created Is a grave
betrayal Of the public interest.

THE VANISHING BOOTJACK

From Cleveland. which is in Ohio, comes the
wall of an old-fashioned man who longs for
the things that were. Desiring to secure a
bOOtjack, he visited six stores in his search,
but at none of them was the article kept In
stock In half the places the spruce young
clerks had never heard of such thing and
one bright youth of later generation brought
out a shoe horn in the confident belief that that
was the thing desired. Not even in the souvenir
shops could the object of search be discovered.
Just what the effect upon the world will be
must remain undetermined until several gen
eratons have grown up without the bootjack,
for it had uses other than those for which the
Cleveland man intended the article which he
sought. However essential it may have been
for the purpose for which il was desgned-the
removal of recalcitrant foOtgear-it did valiant
service in a cause which may not he entirely
appreciated in these days of moral suasion
Many successful man of the old school will
tenderly recall the lessons in virtue which were
transmitted to him through the medium of this
once well known household necessity. Such
lessons properly enforced, are ineradicable
The bootjack is missed therefore. not only
because it is absent from the nail on which it
once hung. but because 1t has gone from the
family councils. where it's influence could nj,
ways be found on the side of discipline II has
been the means of deciding many an important
contest between parent and child and with IFS
appearance on the scene the belligerent son
knew instinctiyey that his cause was lost
Sartorial progress, as well as disciplinary nd
vancement has condemned 1t to disuse. but il,
has left its imprint both physically and other
wise on the human race.

DAVIS AND THE MISSISSIPPI

The controversy which has arisen over the
engraving of the portrait of jefferson Davis on
the silver tableware of the battleshp Missis-
sippi VIII probably in the end be regarded as
much ado about nothing" or, at most, about a
very little matter. It is easy 10 understand
why many persons in Mississippi desire that
such use shall be made of the portrait and also
why many others elsewhere think that 1t should
not be done; but we cannot see why anybody
should get excited on either side.
1t might, from some points of view. he better
taste for AIississppians to select some other
eminent son of their state for this distinction,
especially since Mr. Davis was never Governor
of Mississippi nor in any very direct way asso-
ciated with the navy. Still, If they cannot find
in the history Of their state any other figure
whom they deem more worthy than he, that is
their affair. At any rate. Mr. Davis was for
four years Secretary of War in a United States
Cabinet. As for those who think that because
of his leadership in the Confederate secession
he should not be thus honOred commem-
Grated they may perhaps proftably consider
whether il IS not really and chiefly triumph
of union over secession sentiment for me-
mortal of the arch-secessionist thus to he
brought beneath the flag against which he
fought and into the service of the nation which
he tried TO destroy.
If Mississippi is thus ready and eager TO in
dlcate jefferson DavisS posthumOus acqu-
eScence in the triumph of the Union, the Union
can probably afford to let her do 50. There will
he no fear that the officers of the Mississippi
will be inspired with secessionists or disloyal
sentiments through occasionally seeing the
lineamentS Of jefferson Davis engraved on their
plate Indeed, we are not sure that there could
be much better object lesson in loyalty. or. at
any rate. stronger reminder Of the complete
ness of the victory of the Union than the dis
playing of the portrait of the President of the
short-lived Confederate States upon the fur
nishings Of a United States warshp.

Az HEROIC CTRE.

The dispirlted Washington correspondent of
'"The Columbia IS. O. State" writes to his
newspaper that the only way Ito cure the sad
condition of affairs brought about by the split
in the Southern Democracy over the iron ore
and lumber duties is "to have a Republican
party in the South, or at least some other
party where the prOtectionists can 60.
But from a partisan point Of view wouldn't
the cure be more disastrous than the disease?
How many nti-protectionists would he left in
the South after the new protection party got
fairly started? Colonel WattersOn is about the
only old-fa shioned Democratic antiproteCtiOnist
left and he is too busy fighting prohibition
another popular Southern idea-to give any
time to fresh crusade against the custom
houses. The new party would have practical
walkover south of the Potomac.

MORE "HnNEET GRAFT."

The minority report Of the Buildings Commits
sion contains severe ARA ignment of the meth
ods and purposes Of the ma jority. Sections Of
the new buildings code are said TO abound in
'jokers' designed 10 create monopolies for one
corporation or another in which the leaders of
Tammany Hall are interested. The change in
the boss-shp OF Tammany has resulted. after
various delays. in a change in the code ay which
the freprooing material in which the family of
the old boss is interested is practically 10 be
barred out OF Nett York and monopoly is 10 be
created for the freproOing material Of COM
pany connected with the present regime Though
the minority which brings in .hese criticisms is
probably made up, at least in part of men who
favor other special interests their criticisms re-
gerding the politics PLAYED by the commission
seem 70 be well borne out The provision re-
gaT1ing hreproof material appears to have been
drawn 10 exclude from the market the kind of
material now most used and to create market
for another variety. Tie political connections
Of the two companies making these two kinds of
material are well known. The section regard
ing nrepr9of paints, 10 which attention is di-
rected by the minority, bears on its face the
evidence Of creating monopoly for n certain
kind Of paint. and that regarding standpipes in

Its place, then condition viii be presented IN
which other powers will have a right and, In
deed, duty TO intervene. AS was truly said a
dozen years ago III the case of Cuba, regard for
the sovereignty of Persia will be surpassed by
the obligations of humanity. Already, with the
cordial approval of the world, Russia has sent
troops across the horder for the relief of TabriZ,
and is now reported to he sending more for the
protection of Urumiah-a city which. as the re-
puted birthplace Of Zoroaster, should be es-
teemed the most sacred spot in all Persia.
Now. the original intent OF this Intervention
and of such others may be made is not per-
manent conquest or occupation but merely tenn
porary relief and aid in the restoration Of order
and efficient government. But the great peril
which threatens the remnant Of the ancient en-
pire is that its internal affairs will become too
chaotic for rehabilitation, and that thus more
or less general and permanent foreign Occupa-
tiOn will he necessary. There comes a time when
no force Of horses and men can replace Humpty
Dumpty upon the wall. If Russia and Great
Britain, intervening for the sake of humanity
find no government left which is worthy Of
being confirmed in its place there will be moth
ing to do but TO create a new government, and
that would be their own.
It was on the pretext that such domestic de-
mora liZation existed that Poland parr-
toned. II was because such Generalization
actually existed that Great Britain occupied
Egypt. There is reason to fear that Persia is
steadily and rapidly drifting toward a more
necessitous and a more hopeless condition than
either of those lands ever suffered. Without
imputing 10 either of the interested powers any
sinister or aggressive designs, or any sentiment
other than reluctant compliance with inevita-
bic duty, it is obvious that Azerbaijan, Mazinde-
ran and the other rich northern provinces would
be valuable addition to Russas Asian empire,
while possession of the littOral from Be1oochs-
tan TO the Strait of Ormuz. if not TO the mouth
of the Euphrates, would he of enormous advan-
tage to the British Empire. 1t is to he hoped
for many reasons that such or any partitioning
will not occur. But if it is not to occur, it ur-
gently behooves the PerSans themselves to set
their house in order.
