so satisfactory, to the public, have beer
the measures adopted to sift the matter
to the bottom. that minimum OF injury
to the ministerial prestige has resulted
if these late elections may be taken al
an index OF public sentiment.
The French government is less nuio
than may appear on the surface to Ameri-
can observers. Ministries. 1t Is true
change frequently in that country. but
the relative positions Of the parties do
not shift appreciably. France 10 govern
ed by the "bloc.'' combination OF groups
of pronounced republicans, including some
ultra-conservatives and some radicals.
The government is in the main inclined
toward socialism. The governmental pay
roll is immense. the patronage at the dis
posal OF the ministry being increased an
nually. 1t is believed that II France ex-
periences a political overturn it will be
because Of the constant additions to the
weight of government maintenance. If
this should occur in a republic 1t will
be a singular reversal of the situation
of century and a quarter ago. when the
excessive cost of royalty precipitated the
revolution.

rate Of 1910 miles an hour. The sec
ond night was In point OF speed the
most notable feature of the contest.
1t Is important to note that during a
part OF the flight both OF the avia-
tors were compelled to work through
stiff breezes, and that they were able
to keep their machines aloft and in
motion despite the atmospheric con-
ditions. Each man few until darkness
compelled him to descend. 1t is indie
alive OF the plucky quality OF the de-
feated Englishman that he arose for his
second lap at $3.50 in the morning, thus
proving the possibility Of flying in the
darkness. 1t is unfortunate that the
two men did not start at the same time
at about daylight, so that they could
have been in sight of one another and
Of observers on the ground at all
stages OF the race. 1t Is important that
the endurance possibilities Of the air
plane in action should be tested. and
this can be done only by starting
race of this character sufficiently early
to permit a continuous flight until the
fuel is exhausted or the aviator is COM
PEELED to descend through fatigue. II
the airplane is to become practical 1t
will be through such tests and expert
ments to develop its strength under
all the strains encountered in straight
away flights between fixed points.

French Elections.

1t is evident from the results of the
French parliamentary elections held the
other day that there is no pronounced
tendency on the part Of the electorate to
return to a monarchical form OF govern
ment. Whenever anything happens in
France-and things happen over there so
frequently that political placidity is alb
normal-the various royalist and imperial
list factions proclaim that the hour has
struck for a change and that q king or
an emperor will soon be enthroned at
Paris. Election after election occurs with
the same result Of returning to power
the old combination OF republicans. pos
sibly In new form leading to fresh
alignments in the ministry, but rarely to

the religious establishments fund was dis
closed that the revelations Of dishonesty
would surely lead to an overwhelming de-
feat for the government at the next cleo

Underpaid Federal Judges.

From the New York World.
The appointment to the Supreme Court
of the man who as Governor of New
York had become figure of national
prominence and whose personal char
acter and fitness for high office had re-
ceived an unusual party and popular IN
dorsement calls attention anew to the
utter disproportion of the pay OF Federal n
judges to the qualifications DEMANDED o,
them. TO be a justice of the United
States Supreme Court is to hold one of
the most responsible offices under the
Constitution. The tests of eligibility are
rigid and the measure of mental stature
and capacity no less exacting than that
of the Presidency. The duties OF the
justices were never more onerous and
the volume of intricate legislation coming
before the court for Interpretation was
never before SO great. Yet as compensa-
,;n, for talent of this order the justices
receive salaries of $1,000. or less than
the pay of the judges of New York 8
criminal courts. Judges of the circuit
court receive the pay of police magis-
trates.

Insurgents and Democrats.

Mr.. Rayner's mischief In the Senate
yesterday was both entertaining and in
structive. and we shall hear much more
on the same line when the campaigns
open. The democratic purpose and hope
Is to weaken the insurgents in their con-
tests for reelection by charging that. In
effect. they are democrats. but as yet lack
the courage OF their convictions. If by
this means the regular republican support
for these men can be chilled or weaned
away. much to the good for their
democratic opponents.
Mr.. Delivers reply was the proper one.
An insurgent much dissatisfied with
the tariff situation as to look about him
for a new alignment would not better
his case by going over to the democrats
There are divisions on that side of the
fence as we'll as on his own. The record
of the democratic party on the tariff is
holds out no encourag cement to him.
II there are high tariff and low tariff
men in his own party, there are high
tariff and low tariff men in that party.
And then there Is the fundamental
question of protection. The low tariff
republican believes in protection as
principle. What he asks is that the
principle be applied solely with view
Of beneftng the home wage scale and
struggling home industries He considers
any application beyond that as an I'M
warranted governmental favor.
The low tariff democrat-the frank and
outsDoken man-denounces protection as
an evil. and wishes to see It completely
destroyed at as early day as possible
He consents TO a little jockeying for
campaign advantage, but longs for the
da+ and is ready to help advance 1t.
when no such thing as protection shall
be known in our affairs.
Clearly two such men do not belong In
the same boat. and should not embark
together. Neither, obaying his honest
convictions, could prepare tariff bill the
other would accept. They might agree
upon few schedules. but, differing wide
iy as they do about fundamentals. agree
nent about a long measure dealing with
all the business interests and industries
of a great country would be quite i'm
possible
Unfortunately for the republican party,
however, insurgency in Congress is not
confined to the tariff question. Policies
known administration policies are not
alliances between republicans and demo-
Gratis changing and materially modifying
them are of almost daily occurrence. The
differences over those issues are really
more threatening. so far as the fa'l cleo
tons are concerned, than those over the

President Needham's Resignation.

President Needham's letter Of resig-
patton. printed elsewhere in The Star
Indirectly calls to mind the hampering
and distressing conditions Of attack
from within and from without under
which the administration of George
Washington University for the last year
has been conducted. 1t suggests the
high aims and broad educational poll
tcies of DIR. Needham and his associ-
sites, and can hardly be read by an un-
prejudiced person without securing
some measure Of appreciation of and
sympathy for the struggle for the edu-
cational welfare of the young men and
women of Washington in which they
have been engaged.
The Star views this resignation as an
unsefish and self-sacrifcing act, which,
when understood. will tend to increase
the high regard in which the community
holds DIR. Needham educator and
a man. The Star believes in DIR.
Needham's grand conception of true
university at Washington and is disap-
pointed beyond expression that all the
efforts to secure the money to make a
reality of this conception have up to
this time fallen short of success
II the trustees. like DR.. Needham, in
fuenced by considerations which view the
interests OF the university as paramount
10 those of any man or men. shall accept
his resignation and elect for next year a
new president, il is to be hoped that the
harmonious, enthusiastic and effective CO.
operation of all friends of the university,
which DR.. Needham seeks, will be Sc
cured and that his self-sacrifice will not
be in vain.

Party Platforms and Obligations.

| Discussion at present Is running a
little on platforms. To what extent. II
/ at all. is a party platform binding? Is
senator or representative in Congress
obliged to vote against his individual con-
| victions because his party at its latest
| national convention has commanded sup
| port for this thing or that? Must he
surrender his Judgment to that of plat
| form makers. not one Of whom consulted
| him in their work?
| This is q most interesting problem, not
only as respects questions now in hand.
but questions which but few years ago
gave rise to the bitterest strife. The
democratic party is still suffering from
dissensions which had their origin in
platform making and platform breaking.
Mr.. Cleveland denounced the action of
the Senate in recasting the Wilson tariff
bill as full Of "perfidy and dishonor." He
based his denunciation on democratic
platforms and particularly the one of
1892, which had scored protection and all
its works He considered every demo-
cratic senator bound by what the party
had put forth In platform deliverances.
Mr. German. Mr.. Bryce. Mr.. Smith and
Mr. Murphy took the other view. They
were protectionists, and refused to vote
In accordance with free trade demands,
simply because the party in national con-
vention and after an angry controversy
I'm committee and on the floor had de-
cided that way. They did not regard
themselves as in honor bound to abandon
their tariff principles. and did not consid-
er themselves perfidious in refusing to
accept duties and classifications which
they thought prejudicial to the business
interests OF their constituents and the
country.
These men, il is true, had remained
silent while votes were being solicited for
the platform they had now repudiated.
and therein rested the weakness OF their
position. But Mr.. Cleveland had ac-
copied hundreds OF thousands OF votes
Of free silver men obtained on the assur-
ance Of his campaign managers that If
elected he would do the fair thing by
silver" He had no moral advantage over
them in the premises. Both he and those
senator's had played politics. during the
presidential campaign. and used the plat
form and stump assurances on the sub
ject for vote-catching purposes. He
never dreamed Of doing what the silver
men would have considered the fair
thing by silver. and those protection SEN
ators never intended to vote in the Sen
ate on the tariff question as the free
traders desired.
In 1896 both the sound money demo-
Gratis and the free silver republicans took
higher ground. The one rejected the
Chicago platform and the other the St.
Louis platform outright, and co-operated
IN the campaign with those whose views
conceded with their own.

The Elephants at Danville.

That elephant outbreak at Danville is
suggestive. Strange that it should have
occurred in Mr.. Cannon's home town.
VIII it tend to increase his majority next
November? Will the republican voters
Of that district be advised now of how
necessary it is for the elephant to keep
in bounds and in order? Will the keeper g
difficulties be better understood and ap-
preciated. The elephant under control is
all right and fulf1lls some excellent pur-
poses. but on the rampage is a terror
and most destructive. Mr.. Cannon may
