(SC-"J. ROOSEVELT, UNIFIER.
All Shades of Republicans in New Yuri:
Are Pulling Together.
Col. Roosevelt is doing just what he
said he would do. When asked during
the campaign whether, if elected. he
would consult. with Senator Plait as to
his course in executive office. he re-
plied that he certainly would consult
the Senator, and he would also consult
0t.lici'v'ise counsellors both in the Re-
publican party and out of it. He pro-
posed to derive all the benefit he possi-
bly could from these conferences.
after which he would make up his
mind and act on his own judgment.
The same sage prophets who prev
dicted [that the impulsive Rough Rider
would certainly Burchardize himself
during the campaign, were quite cer-
tain that after election 'he would take
the bit in his teeth and rampage
through the political garden like an
Arizona mustang. All these prophecies
have come to naught. Roosevelt saved
the. ticket by his flying trips through
the State, impressmg hundreds of
thousands of voters by his personality,
his promises and his sincerity. He rec.
ognizes the fact, as do all Republi-
cans, that it was a narrow—a very
narrow victory. He realizes, perhaps.
better than any one else, that only by
united, harmonious, effective action on
the part of the Republican party can
the high standards he has set for his
administration be attained, and the
public confidence be fully regained.
Mr. Roosevelt naturally wants to
bring together hitherto discordant and
warring elements in the party. He.
‘has manifested his desire and purpose
to confer with all whose experience it
special training qualifies them to give.
good advice. His first conference. aft.-
er election, was with ‘Joseph H. Choatc
Elihu Root and Seth Low. at the--
house of the college president; lie
next consulted with Mr. Odell. chair-
man of the State Committee, and Sen-
ator Plait, the organization leader.
The fact that Theodore Roosevelt
and the party'machine are in politics
for entirely different purposes. and
with widely differing ideals, docs act
necessarily argue a rupture. Nor
there an essential insinccrity in the
mutual confession that each has nix-ed
of the other. Had the machine be—
lieved‘ it could have elected any other
man than Roosevelt, almost any other
man would have been taken. Had
Roosevelt been confident of election
without the zealous support of the ma-
chine, he. would have accepted the
Citizens nomination. This reciprocal
inier-dependencc is as essential now as
before election. The executive and log-
islartive departments must work in
harmony. if good legislation is to be
enacted, good men put into office and
a record made on which the party can
go before the people next time with
more confidence than it did a. few
weeks ago. Mr. Roosevelt will govern
the Governor. no one doubts that, but
Senator Plait will govern the Legisla-
ture. The Governor can block legis-
lation, but the Senate can hold up the.
Governor‘s appointments. Attempted
coercion on either side would be fatal
to a good party record. The machine,
moreover, would hardly venture a
quarrel with :1 Governor possessing
Roosevelt‘s traditional qualities, and
the Governor-elect as well as the ma-
chine is manifesting a “sweet reason-
ableness” which promises well for a
successful administration.
The reputation Theodore Roosevelt
is
has made in some quarters is that he,
is a habitual quarreler and a poor tac-
tician. He is getting away from that
reputation in rapid paces. He is de-
veloping into a, “unifying force.”—~New
York Mail and Express, Anti-Ma-
chine.
A TICKET-SCALPING VICTORY.
The Railroads Receive aSetback in the
Courts of New York.
The railroads are waging a war upon
ticket brokers, in which the interests
of the public, so far as they bear upon
the matter, are with the latter.
The triumph .won by the railroad
ticket—scalping interest in the. Court
of Appeals, on a test case of arresr
made under the New York State law
of 1897 prophibiting the conduct of
the business of ticket-selling by all
save authorized agents of railway
companies was not a surprise. This de-
cision, declaring the law to be uncon-
stitutional, was predicted some weeks
ago, when another and similar deci-
sion, based, as alleged, upon like
grounds, was handed down at Albany.
The court, in effect, denies the power
of the legislature to prohibit this more
than any other brokerage business in
which dishonest men may engage and
impose upon the public; that-such pro-
hibition is an infringement of person-
al liberty, inasmuch as the business of
ticket brokerage is not in itself of a
fraudulent character; that such busi-
ness has been lawful for many years;
that to declare it unlawful now is to
unwarrantably grant a monopoly to
transportation companies, or an ex-
clusive privilege to say who shall en-
gage in a business which, when hon-
estly conducted, tends, like other bro-
kerage business, to the convenience of
the public and the profit of the per-
sons engaged in it. It holds that the
sale of fraudulent tickets, so widely
complained of, is a punishable offense
under the penal code, and that the leg-
islature cannot interdict the sale of a
valid ticket by one person to another
—-unless such interdiction be a proper
exercise of police power by the state.
Ticket scalping is prohibited by law
in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana
-——and, we believe, in one or two other
states. It is illegal in Canada, in
England and throughout Europe.

A CUBIC-US COMPLIMENT.
But the Man Possessed the President’l
Emlursvment on His Note.
“I'll tell you a story about Prehi-
den-t Cleveland that you probably nev-
er board.” said a womineut lletroiter
the other day. "One. of those rascally
loafers in \l'ashington who sometimes
find their way into ofiice. rented the
house of an aged widow who was de-
pendent on that source for her entire
income. He put her off from mouth
to month and finally laughed in
her face as he told her that he
wouldn’t pay, and that she
couldn’t make him pay. He would
not go out till the law put him
out, and he would avail himself of all
the delays possible. She consulted a
lawyer who had been a friend of her
family for years, but the loaferish of-
ficeholder was even more impudent to
film. The case was so hard that he
went personally to the president, who
heard the facts and then said in an
indignant tone: ‘Get the fellow’s no-te.’
“ ‘But his note isn't worth the paper
it is written on.’
“ ‘No matter.
bring it to me.’
“There was no trouble in carrying
out this request, the debtor expressing
his delight at being allowed to settle
at the trouble of writing a worthless
obligation. The lawyer took it to the
president and said: ‘Now what?
“ ‘This.’ replied the president. as he
wrote his name across the back. ‘I
indorse it: now demand payment.’
“The Officeholder was in a leading
hotel when the. lawyer walked up to
him and asked a settlement as he
handed him the note. The fellow
sneered until he turned the paper over.
Then 'he turned purple, stammered
out a request that the lawyer wait
there for ten minutes and inside of
that time he was back with the money.
Get his note and
to pay as he went, and now plumes
himself on the fact that the president
of the United States once indorsed his
personal note.”-—Detroi-t Free Press.
HEP. DETERMINATION \NON.
Miss Dix Gain-ed the Inter: st of the Chair-
man for Insane Asylums.
In her early attempts to right the
wrongs of the insane. Dorothy Dix
met only discouragement and coldness.
or indifference. which is worse: but
she did not cease to lab-or, and if she
lost. heart no one but herself
knew it. She askcd for an interview
with the chairman of the most import—
ant House Committee in the (Jar-
olina Legislature. He declined the
interview under the pretext of pres-
sure of business. .
“Very well," wrote Miss Dix. “I
must see you. You will call on me or
I shall call on .vou.”
The chairman then went to see Miss
Dix. He entered the room. hat in
hand. a bundle, of papers under his
arm. and dcclincd the proffered chair.
“I have called.” he said. “I am in
haste. Will you make your business
known as quick as possible?"
The lady began to speak. Eloquent-
ly she pleaded the cause of the in-
sane. Sl’ie spoke from a full heart
and a well stored mind. Her listener
became interested; he forgot that he
was in a hurry, sat down. piled .his
papers on the floor and heard with
rapt attention. The interview lasted
three hours. and the chairman
won over to the cause. and he was
after a strong ally of Miss Dix in her
noble work. fl‘hirty-three lunatic
asylums in this country owe their be-
ginnir': Miss Dix—Youths Com-

- A Land “’itlxout Vlonlen.
There is only one territory of any
size—and never has been but one——
occupied by any considerable popula-
tion from which woman is absolutely
excluded. Yet such a place exists
to—day and has existed for centuries.
As far back as history reaches, to all
females it has been forbidden ground.
This country without women is situ-
ated on a hold plateau. between the
old peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian
archipelago. and the mainland. Here
in the midst of cultivated fields and
extensive woodlands dwells :1 monas-
tic confederation of Greek Christiana.
with twenty—three convcnrts, and min)-
bering more than 7,000 souls. Not one
of the monasteries dates from a
later time than the twelfth century.
A few soldiers guard the borders ef‘
the main land, and no woman is al
lowed to cross the frontier. Nor is
this all, the rule is extended to every
female creature, and from time im-
memorial no cow, mare, hen, duck or
goose has been permitted to enter
this tendons—Chicago Record.
Chinese Do Everything Backward.
The Chinese compass points to the

Men wear skirts, and women trons

Men wear their hair long, women
wear it short.
Men carry on dressmaking, women
carry burdens.
The spoken language is not written,
and the written language is not

Books are read backwards. Foot—
notes are inserted at the top of the
page. .
The Chinese dressin white at fun-
erals, and in mourning at weddings.

_ The Military Cloak.
New traveling wraps for lengthy
_journeys are military cloaks, quite as
without a cape. The fronts are semi-
loose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. The deep cape is fast-
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is alone a suffi-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and otners of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in redin-
.gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen’s coats, with and without
shoulder—capes, and will be used for
traveling and mornini.’ walks.
'I'HE ABTIVE PRINCIPLES.
In the science of medicine many discov-
eries have been made whereby the active prin-
ciples of important drugs have been obtained.
It has been demonstrated time and again how
much better it. is to take the curative proper-
ties in a concentrated form. The latest and
most important of such discoveries is that of
Vinol, in which is found the active curative
principles of the cod’s liver. Best of all Vinol
is delicious to the taste.
Mr. E. \V. Thompson, a well known chemist
of New Britain, speaks of Vinol in the follow-
ing u‘ianuer :—
‘~l have found that Vinol does stand in the
same relation to cod liver oil as Quinine does
t.) Cinchona Bark, Morphine to Opium,
Atrophene to Belladonna, and numerous
other of the active principles to the old and
cumbersome form of drugs.”
It is just because we can now administer
those very valuable remedial features for
which cod liver oil was always famous, in
this concentrated and delicious form, that
people will never cease to be thankful for the
discovery of Vino]. Yours very truly.
