Politics and Rumors.

The President Is beginning to have ms
wrestles with rumor. 1t is the fate or
the high official A President cannot
possibly escape Every story connecting
with the White House. finds readers. and,
unless very "raw''-highly Improbable
finds believers. A neat yarn woven
around something President has said,
or contemplates doing, is always assured
of run. Sometimes pure invention
finds wide circulation. Which is but
to say that the presidency is the greatest
Of our offices. and the man filling it the
object of great interest everywhere.
A week or so ago Wall street was
shaken by a story that the adminlstra-
ton was on the eve of launching an
antitrust program beside which Mr..
Rooseveit's would look tame. The Presi-
dent, with a knife out and eyes rolling,
was going for every corporation in sight.
Look out everybody. There was no war
rant whatever for the yarn. The Presi-
dent was still standing on his messages
10 Congress. which the country had
weeks before read and digested. There
was absolutely nothing new on the sub
ject
A few days ago it was announced that
the President would soon visit Albany,
and while there take matters in hand
and try TO make peace between the re-
publican factions Instantly he was
warned to keep hands off. The party
would resent the interference. Mr.. Roose-
welt in his day interfered, but he was a
citizen of the state. AS Mr.. Taft was
an outsider let him beware of mixing in
a family row. 1t took but a few words
to explain that the President had no
thought of assuming the leadership of
the republican party Of New York; that
his visit would be in response to two
invitations-one from a Yale classmate.
and the other from Gov. Hughesand
would have no political bearing what
ever.
Some men in Office leave yarns about
themselves to go their way. Others put
their foot on them as soon as they ap-
pear. The former argue that II an official
begins a course of denial he will soon
find himself busy. Sensitiveness invites
the activity of takers, and stories in
clouds appear. Now, the object is to in
fuence the stock market; now. to in
fluence politics. Let the yarns CO. Soon
or late, they defeat themselves.
Oficials of the latter class point to
the fact that, as this is the era of pub
Lefty, with newspapers and magazines
going everywhere. great harm is wrought
by uncontradicted stories which are in
tended to mislead. Send the denial after
the invention or exaggeration as soon as
possible. A start of twelve hours is con-
siderable. and of twenty-four, dangerous.
Yarns. we'll spun, have changed the face
of big things.
1t is question. And temperament en-
tiers into it. Some men are unmoved by
unfriendly rumor. while others spring like

rumor that he would move to California

the Senate Is looking more attractive to
him than ever.
The Senate Is very attractive place.
For some men it is the ideal place. There
have been senators so well satisfied with
their commissions they expressed their
pleasure Ia the Harmest terms. Mr.. Al
lison was one. He might have had other
high honors. but he preferred the honor
he was then enjoying. Mr.. Hoar was

partly because of fractional party troubles

much. and was an ornament to the body.
Mr.. Money is retiring largely because or
failing eyesight. He needs readers and
secretaries, and the strain of affairs,
even with their assistance, is heavy on
him. He probably puts no office but
that of President higher than the office

Depew does not need money. His in

Paris Emergent.

Some of the reports from Paris de-
scribe the swift reaction of the populace
after the turning of the tide which for
days held the French capital in a posi-
ton Of the most imminent peril. Despite
the lack of sufficient food and water
to supply the population, with the streets
darkened by night and crumbling and
quakinK at all hours. TO sooner had the
word passed that the Seine had begun
to recede than the people poured out
to note the signs of subsistence and to
engage in jubilation. An immense null
titude thronged to the riverside and an
impromptu jubilation resulted from the
enthusiasm of the populace.
Yet even though the Seine has ceased
In its menacing RISE. Paris is by no
means secure from disaster. The recess
sion of the waters brings it's own dan
gers. AS the pressure on the submerged
walls is released, collapses are almost
certain to occur. Indeed. there will be
danger of the falling of buildings in
Paris for many months. No one can be
certain that his house will stand, after
the extensive saturation of the soil that
has been in progress during these days
OF flood.
No effort has been made to estimate
the money losses occasioned by the in
undation, beyond the computation that
they would reach at least $500, 600 900, an
nounced a few days ago. Doubtless the
government will at once undertake to
ascertain the cost to both the public
and private purses of the repairs rem
dered necessary by this visitation That
the drain upon the French treasury will
be severe is certain, and already there
are hints of prospective public dissat-
isfaction with the course of the authori-
ties in dealing with this unprecedented
situation.
France lives forever under the cloud
of revolution, and now, in this hour of
relief from continued catastrophe, an
overturning of the political situation is
being discussed as one of the possibilities
Of the near future. The Orleanists, al
ways watchful of the course of events, and
ready to take advantage of any sign of
public dissatisfaction, are reported to
be even now at work sounding senti-
ment with view to the substitution of
the monarchy for the republic. When
mercurial Paris is in an abnormal situa-
ton, as at this time, anything may
happen, and if the government should
make any mistakes of judgment or fail
to show strong hand at the first ris-
ing, another political upheaval may occur
