An attempt was made yesterday to bring Mr. Talbert into ridicule by calculating the cost of the time con- sumed as a result of his opposition to heed- less legislation. ‘The House and Senate must come finally to see that this business of violating the statutes in behalf of par- ticular claimants §s worthy the exercise of the greatest caution.

A Deplorable Showing. h 2 atin The test of th puc ge thes ar to the helpless child of a soldier who can ation et = not possibly be pensioned under the laws as ae they read, the situation calls for delibera- product of that sy tion. Once the gates are opened there is no checking the flood of these bills. Nor is it wise to rely too Implicily upon the commit- tees. Too often these the cases only perfunctory examina- on and the bills are pressed through at the instance of members who have been prod- ded by constituents to the pdint of de- manding such favors. ‘To prate about the waste of valuable time does not square with doleful waste of h members are guilty every day in the very of long-winded speeches designed solely for the benefit of susceptible voters in the campaigns. The course of honesty and good government calls for even a ater waste of time over such matters, nh require the keenest judgment of which a legislator is capable, regardiess of his sympathies or his partisan fears. > = Belmont, McLean and Dewey. The announcement that Perry Belmont dined with Admiral Dewey the other even- ing has attracted wide notice and has clinched in the public mind the belief that the New Yorker is figuring on using the admiral as a means of side-tracking Bryan. But ts not the real meat of the situation the fact that it was at the invitation of Admira? Dewey's brother-in-law, Mr. John R. Me- Lean, that this meeting occurred? Is there not more significance in a revelation of Mr. McLean's connection with and interest in the Dewey boom than in a disclosure of Mr. Belmont’s interest.in the admiral as a candidate? When the campaign was started, a few days ago, the name of the brother-in- law was freely used in the unpublished gossip about the affair and he was ac- al examination.

Yet This tary report appears just | the relations of Mr. McLean to Mr. Bryan, his widely declared allegiance to silver and his own well understcod aspirations In con- nection with the presidency served to modify public comment along this line. When names were mentioned those of Mr. Gorman, Mr. Whitney and other gold dem- ccrats of the east were used. But there ‘was no confident pointing to the Ohio stl- crite. ow here is a formal dinner at which a newly-sprung presidential candidate and a prominent and influential New Yorker, dele- kate to his state convention, are specially now car- g a provision for a reorganization of » schools of the capital, is about to pass through its final stage. Whatever doubts as to the urg: of reform as may still ent of this shoc vis are doing for the youth of pured under circumstances schoe in th prate : vured into lt- | brought together by Mr. McLean. it is im- tle foiks dt possible to d jate the political from the social features of the occasion. It is equally impossible to avoid the conclusion that the encounter was planned for a pur- pose beyond the giving of pleasure to two men who desired to meet for purely per- sonal reasons. How does this leave Mr. cLean with reference to both silver and an? Can he remain true to both while fostering the candidacy of a man who has, so far as his utterances and his support s far indicate, a decided antipathy to e free and unlimited coinage of siiver at 16 to 1 and who has spoken contemptuously of the “clowns who are aspiring to the presidency?

In the street imme- diately before almost every house stands a tree, which deserves care to protect it from injury and drought. There fs a growing tendency on the part of house owners to dispense with fences and to reveal the beauties of lawn to the full. It behooves the people, consequently, to be more care- “tui than ever In thelr golngs and comings, to avoid mutilating these exposed patcnes of turf, which add so greatly to the city’s attractiveness. A paved space Is more sightly than a despolled awn, with the 2or- ners rounded off into paths, bare spots glaring at the passers with impudent inde- pendence, trash accumulations half hidii in recesses under stéps and weeds pointing their heads triumphantly above the sur- face. Such parkings bring discredit upon both the neighborhaod and the householder. Too often the trouble is not with the lat- ter, but with the careless pedestrian, who ignores all evidences of care and persists in maltreating these properties In a spirit of indifference. It would seem that pride in the city’s already high renown as a place of beauty would inspire every person to Tespect evidences of care and cultivation and to stimulate those who are now une»n- cerned in this respect to begin themselves to add their mites to the year's total of city gardenin; ——~+ 0 —_____ As Written in the Law. The bill signed by the President Thurs- y provides revenues and government for ‘orto Rico. Thus, as noted by a corres- pondent, the official spelling of the Island's name is fixed, despite the dictum of the board on geographic names and the prefer- ence of a few officials of the administra- tion. There can be but little demur over the rational lling of Porto Rico now that Congress has set its seal upon it, and it may therefore confidently be expected that “Puerto” will steadily fade from practical use and secure a piace, as The Star's cor- respondent suggests, among such relics of spelling as “Nueva Mejico” and ‘Nouveau Orleans.” ——__+ + + —__.

Now let the House profit by the Senate’s example. ——_~+ += _____ mahine and Influen: From the Philadelphia Medical Journ: In view of the known bactericidal in- fluence of sunlight it would not be surpris- ing to learn that an inverse relation exists between the amount of sunshine and the prevalence of infectious diseases, providing, however, the temperature is not excessive. Some observations recorded by Ruheman appear to indicate that influenza is more prevalent when the amount of sunshine is jess, and it is not impossible that a similar rule would be found to apply to other in- fectious diseases also. In the eight years from 1883 to 1900 the number of hours of sunshine during the month of January, when influenza was exceedingly Prevalent, was between 9.8 in 1900, and 62.3 1899— the mean being 36.4. A similar ata of af- fairs was observed fn ences. where from 18S2 to 1900 the number of hours of sunshine varied during the same month between 19 In 1900 and 86.3 In 1883. Similar figures were obtained in observations made in other cities of Germany. i =) Toaves to the barrel. Let’s go over it it together.
