NAPoLEoN's DEATH BEDS.

The chateau of Malmaison, where
Napoleon's wife Josephine lived and
died, has been made into museum.
AS cabled to the Sun, an American,
Edward Tuck, has just presented to
it the bed on which Napolean is said
to have died.
The bed is a modest iron affair
marked with an imperial crown and
bearing the trademark of the mer-
chant who supplied the Emperor's fur
niture when he went into exile. Ac-
cording to the story told of its owner
ship, General Bertrand brought it back
from st. Helena and used it himself
when he settled down in ChateaurouX;
in fact he died in it.
At his death it became the property
of one of the Generals farmers, who
was compelled by money losses to
part with it to a banker at Chateau
roux. 1t remained in the bankers
| family until it was sold at auction at
the Hotel Drouot, with the bankers
other furniture.
Frederic Mason, the great author
ity on Napoleon, was consulted by
Jean Aialbert the curator of Malmai
son. and he had no hesitation in de
claring it the authentic bed from st
! Helena.
The Murat family also possess a bee
which is said to be the one on which
the Emperor died 1t is believed to be
an authentic bed from st. Helena; it il
known that Napoleon had two beds, OF
one of which he died and on the othe
of which his body was laid out. TIT
latter is the bed owned by the Mura
family, according to the partisans o
the Malmaison bed.-Newark News.

THE FIcKLENEes OF PUBLIC
INTEREST.


A few weeks ago, when everybody
in New York was talking about the
traction problem, the air was full OF
inexpert opinion, but also of public
interest. So much wrought up was
public feeling that our prominent
citizens were talking for publication
most of the time. This is perhaps
our national substitute for doing
something, but the public felt it was
better than nothing. And where has
all this excitement gone?
It has vanished. The man in the
street has found something else 20
talk about The traction congestion
is as bad as ever The plan of build
ing upon which the city has en-
parked will, in all probability, involve
an expenditure so staggering that the
citys credit may be on a five per cent
basis before the possible burden of

another $3OO,OOO,OOO has been added
to our already swollen Indebtedness.
We have not the least reason to as.
sumo that a tenant will be found for the
subway as soon as completed 1t
may be left to rot in idleness eating
its head off at an annual interest Of
$12,OO1OOO until one of the present
traction companies sees fit to take it
over at it's own price.
Another thing even worse may hap
pen. Failing a tenant-for, be it re-
membered the b. r. A. is by no
means obliged to take over the sys-
tem-we may have municipal opera
ton of the subway, in competition
with the present subway, which IS
also the property of the city. Such
operation is an impossibility except
at a large annual loss, as we can see
for ourselves by the administration
of the municipal ferries. These pay
no interest on the capital invested,
write off nothing for depreciation,
and cost us an annual loss Of some
thing like $1,OOOOOO, where a private
corporation would pay a rent of that
amount and expect to make money.
AS the municipal ferries employ
three persons for one employee on sim
liar boats used by the Lackawanna
or the Pennsylvania, we can see
where the loss in operating the sub
way would come in. Tammany Hall
would be able to employ every voter
on its list. Positions would be allot-
ted on null and not on efficiency. Dis
cipline would be an impossibility, and
one trembles to think what would
be the ultimate result One result .
least would be that large taxpayers
would be driven out of New York
city by the intolerable burden Of
taxes, with a resulting depreciation
in real estate and an equally severe
reduction in the city's assessment
value.
If the subways were being con-
structed in the public interest, abso.
lutely the first portion undertaken
would be the direct connection of the
Pennsylvania station with the bust
ness district downtown. Such a con
nection is included in the plan, and
because it is the part most urgently
needed; but that Offering least at

months ago, has contentedly gone to
sleep again in the face of such terri

Europe to make necessary foolish or
half-considered argument. With char
acteristic fondness for panaceas, we
are inclined to discover in every ex-
pediment results that stagger the
mind. A Western city throws open
the municipal park to food vendors
and Immediately prices drop by so per
cent. The representatives of a farm
er's cooperative movement in Pennsyl-
vania complain of the vast profits that
go to the middleman. The latter may,
indeed, take more than he is entitled
to, but what proof is it to adduce the
facts that the farmer gets only $780,
900 for products that the consum-
ers pay $4O,OO0,OOO for, or that only
consumers reaches the farmer? Ev-
cry schoolboy with a smattering of
economics has learned the meaning of
place value and the Importance of
railroads. We pay four times as much
for a ton of coal as it costs at the
mine; but in the case of coal the ele-
ment of carriage is obvious. 1t is
present in all commodities. The ques-
ton is not what the difference is be-
tween the price paid by the ultimate
consumer and the price obtained by
the producer, but whether the profits
of the middleman and carrier are more
than they should be.-New York Even

MONTAGUE FOR CONGRESS.
Former Governor is Urged by his
Friends to Become Candidate
From Richmond.

Richmond, Dec. est is no longer
q secret that there is strong move
ment among the citizsns throughout
this congressional district to induce
former Governor Montague to become
q candidate for congress.
When seen at bis Office today Mr..
Montague only admitted that the mat
ter vss being urged upon him. but his
annreciation OF the interest in his candi-
dacy was apparent.
It seems inevitable that should this
candidacy continue to De urged upoa
him he must give it serious considera-
ton, and his closer friends believe that
should this call appear to him in the
light OF public duty, he would be
compelled to make favorable re-
spouse.
His retirement from official public
life has been regretted by many people,
who believe that he could be OF greater
service to the public. Mr.. Montague's
conduct OF the affairs OF the state when
in the Office Of governor, exhibited
great administration force aud as an
orator be is probably without peer in
the south and perhaps has wider ac-
quaintanceship throughout the country
than any man in the state.
Should he consent to become cand-
idate for congress he would probably be
invipcible, and it is we'll known that
his friends and supporters are, and will
continue to briug great pressure upoa
him to announce himself.
