ONLY A FARCE.

Mr. William Rockefeller'S physical
breakdown in the examination by the
Puio committee at Jekyl Island ycster-
day is its own sufficient commentary
on Mr.. Untermyers demagogic VIM
diciiveness in persisting. despite the
warnings OF Mr.. Rockefeller's physi-
elan and the committees own physl'
clan. in pushing his inQuisition 10 thls
dangerous extreme. He had every
reason To know that he was subJectlng
Mr.. Rockefeller 10 extreme risk oil
vocal paralysis and even of death Tor
10 substantial public purpose. The
prospect of the witness telling any
thing which would be seriously help
full toward the framing Of new laws
the ostensible work Of the committee
was extremely slight But the oppor-
tunity for Mr.. Untermyer to pose rs
the intrepid and unacceptable inquisltoi
was too good to he lost. SO Mr.. Rocke-
Teller was subjected To the rack FOR
twelve minutes. until his throat
Spasms became too alarming even for
Mr.. Untermycr.
To tic credit of Chairman Puio Il
should he recorded that he opposed the
examination after hearing the report
of the committees physician. but was
ovcrruled by his colleagues. and there

The breaking down of Mr. Lawson IN
the Marconi investigation in London Is
the most striking incident Of the kind
since the exposure Of the Pigott for
geries in the Parnell"Times' case.
Indeed, il is in one respect more note
worthy than that, since the palliating
circumstance OF overpowcring political
passions is wanting. For weeks the
British press has been filed with long
discussions. pro and contra, OF Cabinet
ministers alleged corrupt or at least
grossly improper implication in stock
market jobbery and government graft
and now il appears that the whole fab-
rio OF sensation was based not on even
single fact. but on mere rumor
which the concocter OF the scandal
never so much as attempted 10 verify!
one impressive difference between
British suffragettes and American SUI
fragists is that the former need 10 be
guarded for the protection OF others
while the latter are asking To be
guarded for the protection of thenl-
selves.
Governor Dunno says that il boy
brushes your coat in a restaurant IL
is an assault" 1t is an attempted as
sault, anyway. on your pocketbook.
one advantage Slas Wright had was
that Albany was much further away
from East 14th street in 1876 than
it is now.
Professor Chantcmesse ha. recently
communicated 10 the French Academy
OF Sciences the results of his admins
tration OF anti-typhoid incubation N
the French navy. which was authorized
by Mr.. Delcasse in April last. In the
entire membership OF the service. 81
SO. between April and the end OF the
year there were 542 cases OF typhoid
and lis OF gastric troubles. But at the
same time among the 3.1OI persons
who had been inoculatcd by Professor
Chantemesse there was not single
case Of typhoid and there was only one
slight case OF gastric trouble. AS
there was no other difference between
the inoculatcd and the non-inoculated
persons. the conclusion is that twenty
eight cases of typhoid were avertcd by
the incubation which would otherwise
have occurred among the 3,1O1. at the
same ratio as the cases among the
rest Of the mon, and also that II inocu-
lation had been universal there would
have been no typhoid in the navy. II

The coming annual election OF the o'och
Exchange promises an interesting contest
between the conservative and the progress

few days ago have been the subject oil con-
siderable criticism among the EXCHANGE
members and steps have already peei'

that they should have received the noi"i-
