GETTING AT VICE RIGHT.

The last Legislature in Wisconsin passed law
providing that property used for purposes Of vice
may be closed for year, and the contents conhs-
Gated. The Vigilance Society of that city has just
completed a survey which has armed it with the
names of owners and descriptions of the property.
As usual, lot of leading" and highly re-
spected" citizens found to be the benehcares Of
this sort of landlordsm
Washington, however is the town where the
leading citizen" as vice landlord gets clear into
the forefront of community attention. 1t is common
report and quite too general knowledge that the
foremost renter of real property for purposes of vice
in this town is other than our revered old Uncle
Sam.

LET CHRIsTOPHER'SBONEs ALONE.

In nothing that William Shakespeare wrote did
he display so much perspicacity and understanding
of human nature arrogance as in his own epitaph-
Cursed be he that moves my bones
The result has been that generation has dared
move them, else they would have been exhibited
ere now.
America Eas won the unenviable reputation of
lacking in that taste which is inseparable from the
dignity Of reverence. To drag John Paul Jones'
bones across the sea, then leave them unburied and
for an indefinite period in closet the subject of
jest and rhyme, was anything but an act of national
dignity 1t is still less to make an exhibit and dspay
of the problematical bones of Columbus Be thew
those Of Columbus any other man, the moral
effect is the same. To visit a tomb is one thing;
to make an exhibit of bones is quite another Instead
of adding to the impulse of patriotism or reverence,
its tendency is directly the opposite Such an action
seems trie too fragrant in its lack of taste to pass
without protest
We have more respect than ever before for
William Shakespeare's infaIlble comprehension
which claimed ones right to his own bones.

GLASS ON VANDERBILT.

That is, to say the least an ungracious utterance
in which Chairman Glass assails Mr.. Vanderlip, OF
the National City Bank, for telling the Senate COM
reform Mr.. Vanderlip, it may be conceded, is
guilty of the tremendous improperly of being head
of great bank. Further, he is a banker with some
ideas broad and fundamental enough to make him
more than mere money broker. When he first ap-
peared before the Senate committee he spent two
the committee the most profitable days of the cur
rent hearings. He was illuminating, frank, sincere.
He indorsed good deal more than he condemned
in the Glass-Owen measure.
Summoned back to the hearings by the committee,
and not appearing on his own motion he was asked
to present his ideas about the establishment of a
Bank of the United States. He did it, because he
had the ideas and because he was asked for them.
If he had red herring concealed on his person,
the fish had been handed to him by the committee,
not produced on his own initiative.
1t is altogether regrettable that Mr. Glass should
feel under the necessity of insulting Mr.. Vanderlip
1t gives an uncomfortable impression that persons
appearing before the committee, with the best pos
sible intentions, must expect their motives to be
sailed unless they prepared to give unqualified
Endorsement to the last detail of the measure which
is now on the threshold of developments that will
make it party caucus affair That is not pleasant
thing for gentlemen to contemplate who might be of
very real service.
We had rather believed that the wide worlds
experience with banking and currency systems based
on the national central bank had been sufficient to
gain for that systems advocates immunity to the sort
of criticism that Mr.. Glass so defty INDUCES. If
we are yet to appeal in the face of two generations
of world experience to the ancient prejudice against
Nick BiddIe; if the ghost of Andy Jackson is to be
conjured forever from the shades curse the plan
in which Jefferson, Hamilton and Washington were
able to join forces; if in fact, the most efficient
scheme of banking and currency organization ever
devised for the purposes of nations all the way from
France to Japan is to be condemned without hear
ing and put down as red herring of the Money
power, then indeed is it useless to impose earnest
investigation and sincere study against the commands
of caucus.
With all the pressure that has been brought to
bear in favor of the Administration bill powerful
and important minority of the Democrats on the
Senate committee is recalcrant 1t is so unreason-
able as to insist knowing and understanding what
it is doing At a time when such observations is
those of Chairman Glass reflect quite as much on
good and true Democrats as on the opposition, it
would seem that the part of good politics, if not Of
would be to deal charitably with gen.
tlemen whose head and front of offending seems 10
be that they would like to deal inteligenty with the
most difficult and delicate question now confronting
them.

Spanish Prime Minister ForetoId
 His Own Death.
Wonderful Prognostications of Nah mould, an Egyptian Astrologer, Were Verified, When 8oUrtos
 Pasha Was Slain.

London.-I know that l am con- demned to death, because l possess positive information that two anar- chists have taken an oath to kill me l know, further, that the anarchist who is to take my life is a man who was banished from Buenos Aires, and that he went thence to Paris and Biarritz, after which the police lost trace of him.
 So spoke the late Senor Canalejas, the Spanish prime minister, on Nov. s, 1912 in conversation with an in innate friend, and four days later he was shot dead by an assassin while looking in at the window of a book shop.
 It must be a terrible strain on nerves and pluck to feel. as so many have done, that the sword hangs over their head. suspended. as it were. by a single hair
 But such has been the fate of more than one public man during the past few years, and of scores in earlier days
 In February, 1910, Sheik Mahmoud, we'll known Egyptian astrologer, went to Boutros Pasha, prime minister of Egypt. and told him that he fore saw his death at the hands of an as- sassin. Boutros believed the prophecy and, as every one knows, was foully murdered a few months later.
 It is worth mentioning that Nah moud put in print prediction of the death of King Edward three months before it occurred He said that it would come to pass in May
 By the way, he also foretold in 1910 that King George of Greece would an- nex three Turkish cities. This also has come true.

MEN DOOMED BY FATE

King Alexander of Servia fully be- leved that he would meet with vio- lent death
 Years earlier, in fact, when King Milan, Alexapder's father, was on the throne, a Seryian peasant predicted that Milan's reign would be one of many misfortunes that he would wage an unsuccessful war, that he would marry. have one son and then be di- vorced He ended by prophesying a violent death for the son.
 Alexander, realizing how true the rest of the predictions had been ire quently spoke to his intimates of his coming end, but he could hardly have expected that it would have been at tended by such horrors as were actu- ally the case.
 Of all modern stories of doom, none is so terrible as that of the Austrian noble family of Vetzera. The name will be familiar to all readers, because of the Baroness Marie Vetzera. for love of whom the Crown Prince Rudolf killed himself
 Every member of that family was beautiful and gifted, yet for genera tions ill-fate dogged them and none died natural death.
 Marie, it is believed, poisoned her self with strychnine. her brother a fine young officer, was burnt to death in the awful conflagration at the Rlng theater; the father, Baron Vetzera. fell dead of sunstroke in a Cairo street Finally, Jeanne. countess of Bylandt, one of the most beautiful and accomplished women who ever lived, died suddenly in Rome
