The president may soothe the
wounded feelings of General Miles
by sending him to King Edward's
coronation. But it cost the general
$10,000 out of his private purse to
represent the United States at the

that he does not care to invest in a
coronation frolic.

Mb. Carnegie was evidently in
earnest when he offered that 10,
000,000 for a great national univer

- The administration's position in
regard to the retirement of Secre
tary Long might be defined thus:
If the public and the press will
drop the subject for a sufficient time
to permit the President to indulge
in the sophistry that he is not being
coerced by public opinion, he will
call for Mr. Long's resignation "of
bis own free will."
Mayor Low's position is not a
sinecure. If he attempts to close
every saloon in New York on Sun
day be will forfeit the support of
thof e former adherents of Tammany
who made his election possible and
perhaps insure Tammany's return to
power. If he permits the saloons
to remain open in violation of
the law he will forfeit the support
