Tho Chicago Dally News says thero

It is a vast, Impressive sum less, to bo

Although the neck of land which con
nects North and South America Is far
from being a desirable place or resi
dence, politically It Is ouo of tho most
Important morsels of territory on the
Itlobe. Next to being tho first to climb
the North I'ole, Undo Samuel craves no
greater boon than to build and manage
au iNthmliiii canal, bo It called I'ananui
or Nicaragua.
Judge Tuft's recent report will go a
long way toward settling tho tpiestlon
as to whether or not the climate of tho
Philippines Is healthy, He says that
for u tropical climate It Is. The pres
ence of lepers, the nppenrnnco of bu.
Iioule plague In Manila and some other
places, and the fact that smallpox pre
vails in home of tlio provinces ho ad
mits; but careful medical Inspection
ml stringent sanitary measures are re
ducing ull these dangers. Tho largo
number of cases of Insanity among
American soldiers, which bus been re
ported In the papers, Judge Tuft says
frankly Is In no way the fault of the
climate, but Is due solely to tho drink
ing of vino, u native liquor which often
contains us much as seventeen per
cent of fusil oil, Tho use of this drink
has now been prohibited.
Municipal mismanagement seems to
reach a climax when political consider
ations dictate appointments to ottlces
requiring technical skill, those of city
engineers and electricians, for Instiince.
A change In ollttcnl control In a cer
tuln large city recently brought nlwut
the removal of an expert from tho posi
tion he had long and etllcleutly held.
Ho far the spoilsmen had their will;
but at lust uccouuts the now boss hud
not been nble to And In his own faction
n man who dared to take the place. If
such nn Incident ended by leaving an
Important bureau without a head, the
situation would he bad enough; but
there Is always the greater danger that
an Incompetent person will be appoint
cd, and that the technical service of the
city will become merely one of the cogs
in the political machine. Yet surely It
ought to be clear to the most hardened
partisan that there Is "no politics In
science," nnd that ability should be the
only tost for appointment to and con
tinuance In positions that call for spe
cial training.
What the "rules of tho gnmo" arc to
sports and pastimes, the "rules of pro
cedure," or of parliamentary practice,
are to the deliberations of a legislative
body. In any kind of contest strength
nnd zenl may go down In defeat before
superior skill In tnklng advantage of
the rules. It often happens In tho
llerce political encounters in Congress.
A deliberative body must have rules,
even though In operation they some
times seem to defent the ends of legis
lation. The study always Is to formu
late such codes of. parliamentary law
as will bo most nearly perfect In their
application. The House of Representa
tives at tho beginning of n new Con
gress frequently has a vigorous discus
sion of the rules. This year there was
nu attempt In the caucus of Republican
members to secure eertnln inodlllen
tlons of the old code, which was de
feated. Then the Democrats tried on
the tloor to accomplish the same result,
but without success. Tho old codo
stands. Upon the rules of nny delibera
tive iKxly depends tho power of tho
minority party, and especially the op
portunity of the Individual member of
either majority or minority. In tho
House the membership Is so large thnt
little power of Initiative Is left to tho
Individual member; the lenders of tho
majority party, whichever It happens
to be, hold the conduct of affairs In n
firm grnsp. The Sennte, being a smaller
body, allows unlimited debate; minori
ty members are thus able sometimes to
accomplish by Indirection what they
could not do on a nqunre vote. Hotli
elements are needed In Inwmnklng
the linn hand of the majority, nnd de
ference to Individual rights. Inas
much as every measure must pass both
houses of Congress, n fair bnlnnco usu
ally results.
When Amerlcnns nrc studying trade
statistics and glorifying the doings of
the pcopltt of thin great nation, It Is
well to look nt other statistics and re
allr.e what a momentous problem con
fronts this country. Suicide In Increas
ing. A total of 7,246 persons killed
themselves In the yeiir recently closed.
The figures nro as near olllclnl as It Is
-tosslhlo to make them. Of this total
B,850 were males nnd 1,!105 females.
Tho causes are well worth studying.
Despondency lends tho list with a.USO
victims. Despondency, In ninny cases,
Is tho penalty of ambition, and Is a
species of Insanity. It Is closely asso
ciated with the growing business of n
commercial nntlou. It touches tho lives
of the men who would be rich mid pow
erful and live nt a rate of a mile n
minute. They neither ent, work nor
sleep properly. They bum the caudle
at both ends. Every year they want to
do more than they did last year. Many
can stand the pace for a considerable
length of time. Others can't. They
worry, they brood, and then they Join
the "despondency list." Hecause of do
mestic Infelicity there were fell sui
cides. Liquor drove -KI0 to self-lufllctcd
deaths; business losses, 07; disappoint
ed love, 283; III health, 018; Insanity,
07-1; unknown, l.OM. Mob law Is al
ways bad law, mid mob law Is Increas
ing. In 1001 thero were 118 legal exe
cutions, VM lynching and 7,831! mur
ders In tho United States. Those aro
bad llgures. They show how much of
barbarism there Is In mankind. The
excuse of the average mob for murder
ing a murderer Is that It desires to
make Justice speedy and sure. It re
fuses to trust to the courts, with their
technicalities and delays. It acta while
passion Is hot and tumultuous, while
the desire for revenge still tills human
hearts. The remedies are education and
courts that, by their conduct, are a
guarantee of Integrity. When tho peo
ple know that Justice Is sure and cer
tain, surely the lulllctlou of the death
penalty will be left to tho law. Self-
restraint and slowness to auger should
be taught In every school In the laud. It
Is a doctrine that should be Instilled In
childish minds. If tho feeling that
makes men stain their hands with
blood Is to be educated out of human
beings. It will have to start with tho
children, and be so thoroughly Im
pressed upon them that It will become
a part of their lives.

Of the product of this writ-known brewery,
the United Slates Health Reports for Juno !&.
HM), says: "A more superior brow never entered
the labratoryot the United Ktates Health He
ports. It Is abnolutely devoid of the slightest
trace of adulteration, but on the other hand Is
composed of the best of malt and choicest of
hops. Its tonlo qualities are of the highest, and
It can 1x3 used with the greatest benefit and
satisfaction by old and young. Its use can con
sclenttously Ixi pretoribed by the physicians,
with the certainty that a better, purer or more
wholesome beverage could not possibly be
found."
