Paulhan's Long Flight.

The irrepressibie Paulhan. perhaps
stimulated by Henry Farman's crpss-
country flight in an aeroplane with a
passenger for q distance of forty miles,
has made q startling new record with a
fight OF 1875 miles. He COW
cred the distance in three and a half
hours, which works out at an average
speed of q fraction less than thirty-three
miles an hour. This Is comparable with
railroad time under schedule limitations.
1t compares well with rapid automobile
road work, on good highways. As q mat
ter Of individual transportation it is re-
markable in that 1t landed the aviator at
the place where he desired to go without
halt or mishap. and along what was pre-
sumably an airline course. 1t is to be
remembered always in contrasting air
travelling of this character with motoring
that the former is unlimited by road con-
ditions or by departures from a straight
course. Probably a motor car travelling
from Orleans to Arcis-sur-Aube between
which points Paulhan flew. would have
had to cover q longer distance than 125
miles, and, in order to arrive simultane-
ously with the aviator, must have made
a faster continuous pace than thirty-three
miles an hour. These successfully longer
flights, with and without passengers, tes-
tfy to the fact that the development Of
the airplane as a PRACTICABLE transporta-
ton device is only matter of time and
testing. y

The Chinese Turmoil.

The good word comes from China that
the anti-foreigner riots at Changsha have
ceased and that the government has re-
gained control of the situation. That is
reassuring for the present. but it will re-
ouire a more substantial guarantee of
peace than the cessation of the demon
STATIONS to lead to the feeling that the
government troops while the rioting was
1t its height is a sinister sign. 1t sug-
Eests that the Chinese army, drilled
though it has been by Europeans remains
1T heart inimical to the undermining infiu-
ences which are manifesting themselves
here and there throughout the empire.
That China will eventually succurnb to
these forces and yield itself to the full
sweep of western civilization is inevitable
But meanwhile there is grave risk Of oc-
casional outbreaks of hatred for the for
eigners. who are rated in the minds Of the
natives as equivalent to devils, and who
are blamed for all crop failures and all
disasters. Life in the interior of China
will remain more or less hazardous until
the country is penetrated with railroads.
A line is projected to run from Canton
through Changsha, on the way TO Picking,
and when IT is constructed 1t will serve q
civilizing purpose and go far toward rem
dering improbable such outbreaks Of
fanaticism as that which has just ap-
parentiy exhausted its force.

merators The main object was to get
the work done as rapidly as possible. and.
1t IL feared, with the greatest advantage
to the political party then in power.
1t took many years to persuade Con-
gress that a permanent organization
should be maintained for the taking OF
the census. Now comes prompt and strik-
ing proof that the investment in con-
hnuous system of supervision is profita-
BILE. The mistakes by the Chicago emu
merators would probably not have been
detected under the old system, or at least
not In time to permit their correction.
With census taking reduced almost to
the accuracy Of q science, mistakes are
detected automatically. The enumerat-
ing force can be checked. Obvious errors
can be corrected in season. and thus the
census Is freed from the charge Of mac
curacy which has stood against 1t peren-
nialiy.
The country has come to appreciate the
benefits of a careful system Of statistical
investigation into the social and indus
trial conditions Of the people The CEN
sus figures are used helpfully in all lines
of work. The business interests find them
Invaluable in guiding their activities. 1t
is OF the utmost political importance that
the count Of heads should be accurate. for
upon 1t depend the proportions Of the
House OF Representatives and possibly
the character OF the laws No longer
rated as a great patronage machine. the
enumeration system has become a bust
ness agency Of the government, and 1t is
reassuring to find that in this stock-tak-
ing process those in charge are insisting
upon accuracy in detail

The Census.

A good sign. suggestive that the census
now being taken will be more than ordi-
narily accurate. comes from Chicago in
l%he form of statement that after the
hrst days work OF the local enumerators
letters we're sent to them from head
quarters notifying them OF errors that
had been discovered in their returns.
Some $50 or 200 Of the enumerators have
been suspended pending conference on
their cases. 1t is evident that the super
visor In charge Of the district Is deter
mined to have the work done we'll

Kitchener of Khartum.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The brief and almost surreptitious visit
to New York by one of the greatest SOL
diers Of modern times has served by rea-
son of it's very contrast to leave an i'm
preston which no civic honors or public
parades could have deepened. In this
quiet man in a tweed suit who would not
even sanction a salute rby a battalion of
West Point cadets, the city has been
privileged to see the most conspicuous ex-
ample Of military modesty since Grant,
and the fact Is one on which it Is agree
able to dwell. There has been no hint in
anything he has said that this was the
hero of khartum; not a word about my
regiment. my plan OF campaign, my poll
cy in India; no allusion to any event in
the remarkable career OF the plain sol
der, whose eminent services raised him
to the peerage and won for him the rank
of field marshal He has said not word
that could cause concern at any foreign
office. The example Of unostentation and
of an incognito strictly preserved is one
useful for comparison. New York will
regret the departure of it's distinguished
guest, but with due appreciation of the
fact that it has been long enough to point
a moral OF modest merit.

been devised largely in the light OF
these disasters, but they will be effect
i've to prevent local repetitions only In
the degree that they are enforced, Win
penalties for their violation.
Congress should not and probably
will not hesitate to make this desired
provision. No question of economy
should intervene to prevent action. the
cost Of the expert supervision over
these places will be only few hundred
dollars year. The District Is now oe-
irving a considerable revenue from the
motion picture shows in license fees'
and a small part of that money couio
be spent in system OF IN

Aldrich and Hale.

The Importance, not to say the gravity
Of the announcements of Mr.. Aldr1ch and
Mr.. Hale which appear today is very
great The two men are at the top In
the Senate The chairman OF the finance
committee and ;le chairman of the ap-
preparations committee exert powerful
influence in that body. In each, large
experience is united to large ability. In
debating power. as distinguished from
mere speechmaking. they have had few
peers in their thirty years Of service as
senators Agreeing on all the weightier
questions. they have stood together in all
the momentous contests of their time
and been conspicuous in the Shaping OF
much valuable legislation.
Two questions spring out or these an
nouncements. ~ What will be the effect
on the uncompleted portion OF the pres
ent republican program? And CD what
will be the effect on this years cam
paigns?
Mr.. Aldrich has made study OF the
currency problem and the country mas
come to look to him for valuable service
in its settlement. It is a problem for the
next Congress, and Mr.. Aldrich's COM
mission expires with this Congress. He
might 1t Is true continue his interest In
the subject anc assist from private life.
but that would not compare with what
he would he able to do as member OF
the Senate in charge of the bill.
Mr.. Hale has for years given attention
to the naval problem, and did not sur
render his interest in it when he sur
rendered the craftsmanship Of the naval
committee. His views have at times
clashed with those OF the more ardent
advocates of large navy, but he has not
stood for Gripping that arm OF the ma
tional defense. Whenever he speaks
on the subject he adds to the interest
of the discussion.
AS for the effect of the announcements
on the years campaign, it is likely to be
against the republican party. True, i'm
paired health Is given as the reason for
retirement in both cases, but that will
not silence spellbinders, who will see, or
tell voters that they see. another sign
that the republican party is breaking
up and will soon be a thing Of the past.
With the veterans in both the Senate
and House under fire, and some in re-
treat, what is to prevent the opposition
from entering and possessing the land ?
Such will be the Interpretation put upon
Gratis. and in the present state of unrest
and uncertainty it is bound to have some
influence at the polls.
Political developments for year past
have been unusual, and in some cases
startling, and, in the language Of melo-
drama, the end is not yet.

Death in the Cell.

The man who hanged himself in a
police cell yesterday morning destroyed
himself because he feared disgrace
would follow the exposure of the fact
that he had been arrested for intoxica-
| ton. In general this case resembles
others that have occurred in Washing
ton In which death has followed arrests
for drunkenness. In previous instances
the persons arrested have died in con-
sequence Of their rotations. lacking eff
ficient medical care while suffering
from alcoholic poisoning. In this case
the victims remorse led him to suicide
In all OF these cases the persons ar
rested were in the wrong place. They
should never have been considered as
prisoners. but as patients.
Unfortunately there is today no sys-
tenn whereby the District government
can in the exercise Of its police author
ity adequately care for the victims of
intemperance. There is no inebriate
hospital, where intoxicated persons can
be skillfully and considerably treated
and, II possible. cured Of their bad hab-
it's. In the absence Of such an institu-
ton the police are compelled to con-
slider all DRINKS" as violators Of the
law and hale them to the station houses.
charging them with disorderly conduct
il there is no prospect OF an immediate
recovery and a rehabilitation.
II drunkenness upon the public streets
is to be rated as a misdemeanor it
should be punished as such, as are other
misdemeanors. Yet in q great majority
OF cases persons taken in custody on
this account are allowed to go forth
free of any charge as soon as they are
able to care for themselves. Yet under
this anomalous condition Of the laws
these unfortunates are for the time
rated as candidates for the Police Court
It was the prospect of standing thus in
the dock that caused the latest victim
of his own habits to take his life. Had
he been differently treated at the out
set, under q broader and more humane
system OF caring for inebriates, he
would probably have been tided safely
over the period Of his depression and
saved.
This case should serve as a strong ar
gument in behalf OF the early adoption
Of some method of treating inebriates
In this District more humane. more
helpful and less destructive than that
which the lack OF laws and funds COM
pels to be pursued.

The Chinese Riots.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The immediate occasion of the rioting

With all their centuries of agrarian ex-
perience, the Chinese have not yet learned
to distribute the surplus product Of one
district to relieve the distress of an
other. It may be that in one province
the cattle are driven into the fields to
feed and the crops are used as fuel, while
in an adjoining province the people are
