The Case of Early.

Every Washingtonian will hope that
John Early. who has lst been released
from detention in this city as a suspected
leper, may be successfully treated in the
New York hospital which has received
him. There has from the beginning OF
this case been a general sympathy for
the man. whose affiiction seemed to be
so great and whose fortitude was so un-
waveTing. In the controversy which
arose between the medical authorities as
to the nature of his disease there was a
division of sentiment, but all who fol-
lowed the matter closely realized that
the local authorities had merely done
their duty in the premises in undertak-
ing to prevent the possible spread of
leprosy in Washington. and had taken
every possible precaution to insure
Early's comfort. II is to he remembered
in this connection that there was no local
precedent to guide in the treatment of
the unfortunate man and no facilities
were at hand.
\ disposition prevails in some quarters
Z" scoff at the District for its insistence
Hocn regarding leprosy as contagious.
This is not fair TO the capital nor does 1t
take into account the fact that the gov
"rument is committed to the policy OF
S"gregating lepers from those not af-
fjcted. In it's insular possessions. where
leprosy exists. this policy prevails. and
fl would have been extraordinary If the
local authorities had failed to pursue the
same practice in the treatment OF Early.
Nor these considerations lessened by
reason of his present treatment or by the
possibility that he may not have been
l"prnus al any stage. There was the
most satisfactory medical authority for
his treatment as leper, both at the be-
ginning and at 1t later stage, and II II
should prove that the diagnoses, in con-
sequence of which he was detained. were
incorrect there remains simply the con-
cusion that this is another case where
doctors have disagreed. a by no means
exceptional phenomenon in the history
OF medicine.

The American Spirit.

The United States OF America is now 133
wears of age This is the anniversary of
the DAY on which certain men represent
ing the colonies of England in the new
world declared the people of this conti-
ucnt free and independent declaration
which they proceeded to make good by
force Of arms in circumstances which
promised no SUCCESS but with a spirit
which admitted of no defeat. 1t was that
spirit the spirit of '76. that overcame
the superior strength of England, that
sustained the colonists in the bitter strug-
rlc and through their desperate straits.
IL was that spirit that guided the men
who evolved n nation out of the loosely
organized colonies. and who found ways
and means of self support In the lean
days Of the beginning.
our historical perspective has length
cucd sufficiently to enable us now to see
these early statesmen Of America In their
true proportions. They were zealots in
that they were fired with a firm belief
in their cause, but they were practical
men none the less. The document which
they signed in Philadelphia in 1776 was a
statement of not merely abstract prin-
eiales but Of the practical doctrines OF
Utilization. They asked nothing unreason-
able Their demands We're those of men
Of affairs. who knew better than did the
statesmen of England the conditions of
life in this country.
M historian fully estimates the effect
OF the Declara ton of Independence who
confines his observations strictly to the
United States and to the influence of the
separation upon the fortunes of the
american and the English people. The
document signed in Philadelphia was
wor'd-encircling In its influence. There
is scarcely a part of the earth where its
effect has not been felt. In France first
was the impulse OF independence demon
strated, unfortunately in a degree that
shocked civilization to the center and
stained the history of the French people
indelihly and shamefully. But, whether
expressed violently and savagely as in
France. or temperately and constructive
" as in this country. the demand of In
telligent people for share in their own
government and for the control of their
own affaiYs has grown stronger and more
insistent in consequence Of the demon
stration which the people Of the United
States have given that self government is
not only right, but practicable.
Pessimists may aver that our vaunted
freedom carries with it the germs Of de-
cadence and that the United States Is
falling away from the high principles
established in 1776 But. fortunately, the
pessmists are not prophets. They see
things darkly through the glass Of per-
sonal disappointment or grievance. With
all the problems that remain unsolved.
with all the difficulties that now confront
lawmakers and administrators. with all
the contention of adverse forces and an
tagonistic interest. the United States Is
going forward There is no secret decay,
no flaw in the structure of the state.
The very difficulties that arise from time
10 time and call for wise treatment are
the tonic which keeps the body polite
in health.

A Call for Union.

Chairman Conners of the New York
democratic state committee is quoted
as saying:
"An these stories of a break between
Charles +. Murphy of Tammany and
myself are without foundation. I am
a friend of Mr.. Murphy. am the friend
of Mayor Mcclellan and I am the friend
friendly to any democrat. / believe
we should all get together.
Il don't believe in democrats fighting
democrats; 1 believe in democrats
republican party. As 1 grow older and
become more experienced in political
matters / am convinced that the only
way for democrats to win is for demo-
Gratis to stick together"
Well, yes. This is good advice. 1t
may not be an easy matter to take 1T,
but an effort should be made. Certain
1t is that by no other means can sue
cess be achieved.
OF course the question presents It
self, how are the democrats-for SO
long, and now, so seriously divided-to
get together? Some years ago the Ques-
tion Of most importance in the country
was, how shall specie payments be re-
sumed? Resumption was necessary.
Our financial affairs were still showing
the effects Of the civil war. In the
slang of the curbstone. we were using
seventeen kinds of money, and none OF
it Of the best repute.
Then spoke an everyday philosopher.
who said. the way to resume is to re-
sumo, and then appeared a financier and
statesman, widely trusted and respect
ed for his resolution and resources. who
put the advice into action. John Sher-
man took the helm at the Treasury De-
parsment, gave his orders, and the deed
was soon done. Specie payments were
resumed. After years Of confusing cou1-
sells and irresolution, a really strong
man turned the trick. 1t was not an
easy job, and some politicians thought
it impossible, but Mr.. Sherman accom-
plished it.
Is there a John Sherman In the ranks
Of the democratic party? A man of like
caliber and credit is necessary for the
party's emergency. The Ohio statesman
was not a man Of the rattle and bang
order. He looked at things through clear
eyes, and with the assistance OF gray
matter not obedient to heaving emotions.
He had q talent not only for composing
differences, but forcing a wise proposition
through on its merits.
The way for democrats to get together
Is to get together. There are seventeen
kinds now in circulation, and none above
suspicion. Thirteen years have elapsed
since the party divided at the polls. al
though divisions began several years
earlier. The case is not hopeless. although
many believe it so. A really strong man
might bring the factions together. He
would probably not profit in his indi-
vidual fortunes by his great services. Mr..
Sherman did not. What he desired was
the presidency, and the office would not
have been too great reward. But his
party withheld that. He could never
secure a nomination, and, as a matter of
fact, he would not have proved a strong
candidate.

A Great Frenchman.

From the New York Sun.
Samuel de Champlain. born at the little
port of Brouage, In Saintonge; mariner.
soldier Of fortune, pioneer. Governor of
New France and devout Catholic, will
live again today in the spirit OF many
discourses In the churches OF the valley
that bears his name. All historians seem
to treat his memory kindly. In his day
he had no enemies among his own people.
and he died In the odOr OF sanctity. after
life Of militant adventure. an explorer
and empire founder who never had a sor-
did motive, a soldier without vices, an
administrator whose rule was humane.
