Jersey City is moving toward
commission government at a smart
pace. Public interest in tho change
' 1b uncommonly strong. In the pre
jllmluary contest for. a, place on tho
final ticket ninety-one oandldatos
brought out a vote ot only 3,600
b$low tho vote cast .at the November
election. Ten were selected out ot
-the field of runners, and ot these
t.fiva will be chosen at the final bat
ljtleg Juno 10, to constitute the
commission, The' favorite' in the
'primary balloting wran the noted llt
arary switchman, Mark M. Fagln,
who lumped from a switchman's
shanty to. the offlca. of mayor as a
truster ot boeiea,

In the Invitation to all nations of
the world, formulated by representa
tives of English-speaking countries,
'inviting thorn lo Join in the colobra
tlon of oho hundred years of peace
between Great Britain and tho
United States, occurs a significant
reference to tho poaco-maklng. pow
ers of sclonoe. 'Although it may bo
unreasonable to disregard tho possi
bility of conflict arising In the future
out of mutual or partial understand
ing," so roads tho declaration, "yet
we gratefully recognize that the
cbancofl of misunderstanding have
been largely, eliminated by tho de
gree in which modorn science has
facilitated intercourse nnd accel
erated communication."
It Is historically recorded that, al
though tho last war between Great
Britain and tho United States was
officially- terminated by tho signing
of tho treaty of Ghent, Dccombot 24,
1814, yot tho final battle of tho wnr
was fought at New Orleans two
weeks Inter, no nows of tho peaco
agreement having reached thla, sl,do
of tho Atlantic. It goes without say
ing that perfection and application
ot our scientific knowledge would
havo prevented this unnecessary
bloodshed, and probably changod
mightily Hho' tuturo coutso o&oronts.
It is equally cortaln thnt present-day
means ot almost instantaneous com
munication ' operates to keep us in
formed as to what is happening all
over the world, and by that very In
formation disarms suspicion nnd
mokes for mutual amity. ,
In still unothor way modern scl
pneo proves lta power as a pacifica
tor in binding togother groat intel
lectual forces rogardless of geo
graphical lines. Tho laws ot science-
arc tho same tho world over,
and scientific achievement, wherevor
made, belongs to tho wholo human
mco. In this respect sclenco is
oven moro universal than religion,
art. music or letters, each with
variablo adaptation to. different
races and different lands. Sclenco
furnishes uniform standards with
which to', moasuro national progress
for all countries and for all times,
and as a" natural consequence thoso
countrios which havo -made tho most
progress in sclenco aro tho onos most
abhorrent of wnr and most ener

A Station Subway,
The executlvo committee of tho
Commercial club, basby. resolution
recorded ltsolf in, favor of tho con
struction of a subway connecting tho
iTInlnn nnd Tlifrllriirtnn nlnHnn. hv n
passage Under ' tho -tracks'. This is
nn improvement which, we bellevo.
,Tho.,B,eo fJrBt suggested, and which
1 we have advocated from tlmn tr tlmn
;nan6o(lul conVenjonco to through
passengers entering-and -leaving Uie
city by differont railroad routes.
Such a subway would obviate
Lsorrio, bufnot all,' of tliobbjoctfons
rtb' liavlhg separate "passenger sta
tions Instead of ono union station,
nnd would stop travelers nw an
noyed by being- compelled to climb
tho viaduct to get frdm one depot to
tho other from coins away from
Omaha fooling as if Ihoy had a
grudgo against the city. Thoso who
would use tho subway most would
not come up into tho cjty, anyway,
ineroly because forcod to ehango
from ono station to another, und
tin subway would often bo a- docldea
conveulonco to our own pooplo as
well.
It Jjsc happona that while tho
Commercial club is favoring tho pro
posed subway, the retailors' organi
sation not long ago resolved against
it on, it Booms to ub, a mistaken
theory that lta construction would
bo inimical to tho proJ6ct for a now
union station farther uptown.
Whether tho demand for an uptown
station nfthls time is pushed or not,
it could not matorfallse for several
years at tho earliest, and in tho in-
tnrvnl thnrn la nn
. w "W
'our dual passenger station plant
snould not bo mado to accommodate
tho traveling public to the full ox-
tent ot its possibilities.
Presbyterian Unity.
Differences as to points in tho
creed which havo hold apart their
adhorents for generations, aro not
easily to bo adjusted; but tho gath
ering ot tho Presbyterians at Atlanta
1b most significant of the progress
that is being mado by the church.
Four great divisions pt this one or
ganization exist in America, separ
ated only by minor dogmatic tenets.
In the main they are one, and as
ono harmonious body might multi
ply by many fold tho Influences for
Rood now separately exerted. Tho
obvious advantages havo often been
dlscuseod, as the matter of union
has boon betoro tho churcheB-for a
long time, and tho ordinary argu
ments In favor of the plan aro
familiar to all.
Yot tho Presbyterian character la
Buoh that It does not lightly yield
on poIntB that may fioom Inconse
quential to others. The church was
founded In a day when tho future
ot tho Christian religion Itself) was
belng.jiotermined, and its history is
ot glorious examples of firmness
and sacrifice to duty and principle.
ItB traditions and lta teachings aro
all against transitory movements,
and this adds the moro Importance
to whatever may be tho outcome ot
tho Atlanta conference ot tho four
great general assemblies- If Jt bo
union, U will be founded on con
clusions tho result of careful de
liberation: If the union bo left over
to another tlm'o, Jt will bo bemuse
weight- reasons have supervened.
Yet to a layman, It appears that
the union of tho Presbyterians into
ono body might be tho bost example
at.prosent likely for. tho .odlfloatJiyi
of all Christian sects.
Overwrought Imagination.
Do people fully roallzo that ln
times ot stress an overwrought Im
agination leads them to exaggerate
what they see, and sometimes to
think they sea things that do .not
exist nt all?
When Omaha was tornado-svfept

descriptions socurcd pub'llclty in
more or less distant towns; some of
them sent out from horo, but moro
of them carried by traVoIors passing

Is Sr. Cook Coming Backt
la Dr. Cook coming back? Al
though moat folks havo ceased to dis
tress themselves over the North Pole
discovery controversy, which raged
so fiercely7 a short time ago, this
question is suggested indirectly by
an article In a current periodical on
"Science and Polar Exploration," by
William Hallock, himself a noted
scientist at tho head of tho depart
ment of pure science in Columbia
university.
.Dr. Hallock reviews tho recent
work of professional explorers in po
lar rogtons to support his conclusion
that they havo contributed llttlo or
nothing to tho serious advantage of
sclopco. It was not at all nocoasary,
ho tells us, for Peary to discover tho
pole, "which it is assumed he did,"
because it had been discovered' by
science long before, nnd continues:
Peary, of course, verified tha fact that
we were correct, lit discovered tha
water at the North Pole, and he thrilled
ua with somewhat unverified Information
that it waa nn "unfathomable" sea. But
he had lost his soundlnc instruments bo
fore he KOt a chance to Use them In this

Individual explorer, bo far as the records
nre concerned upon which an explorer
veracity la established, they can be manu
factured In New York City with perfect
accuracy. I can submit a set of tlsuree
representing the roeords of an expedition
to the North Pole right here In my office,
whlcn will be absolutely correct, though I
have never been there. This fact alone
proves that science has a very thorough
knowledge or the surface ot this earth,
and that. In fact, there la very llttlo left
on It to discover Poor Cook, discredited
upon the ground that his figures could
not. have been so accurate If he had ob
tained them by observation In actual prox
imity to the North Pole, may have been
there, after all- Peary desorlbes having
discovered on his approach to the North
Pole some animal traoka, possibly a fox's,
which would indleate land near by, be
oaune these animals never venture very
far away from land, where they must
find food. At the same time. Cook de
icribCB seeing land, for which he was aft
erwards acoused of being a faker. Now I
do not know but what Cook may have
seen the land which Peary suspected was
near by. In which event Cook's claim to
hava reached the North Tola might be re
considered. It has been generally takon for
granted, wo bellevo, that Dr. Cook
was a faker, and that his pretenses
had been completely and thoroughly
exploded. Dut hore is a scientist in
good standing venturing at least an
Intimation that Cooka claims may be
ontltlcd to reconsideration. Before

How the Democrats Bule.
When, after denouncing the fa

into control of the house thoy did
not go far until thoy adopted the
very rulos that they excoriated. Like
wise, among other things that helped
glvo tho democrats their present ma
jority in our national lawmaking
body was tho outcry and onslaught
on tho methods of doing busJinesH
typified in "Cannpnism," yet It Is
already patent that democratic meth
ods, hough slightly different, aro no

When the tariff bill was reported

Attor he had boon sufficiently ad

promptly sustained tho point of

motion to recommit. It will be ro
remembered, of course, that the rulos

Like a blind spinner in the sun.
I tread my days; -
I know that all tho threads will run
Appointed ways;
T Wnnw mMi .1 1) ...til . .
And. being blind, no more 1 ask.
I do, not know the use or name
Of that I spin:
I only know that someone tame,
And laid within-
youd the thrcai1, and. said. "Inco
Arc blind; but 'one thing you can do."
Sometimes the threads' so rough and fast
And fancied fly,
I know wild storms are sweeping past
Shall fall: but dare not try to find
eoic. iMutc, since x am Diino.
I know not why. but I am surs
That tint and place,
In some great fabric to endure
Past time and race.
My threads will: so from tha first
Though blind. I never felt accurst
I think perhaps this trust has sprung
From one short word
Said over me when I was young
Bo vounc, I heard
It, knowing not that God's namo signed
fliy Drow, ana sealed me - tils though
blind.
But whether this be seal or sign
. VYUIlin, WIIROUI,
It matters not. Tha bond divine
I never doubt
7 know He set me here, and still
And glad and blind, I wait His wUL
But listen, listen, day by day,
To har their tread
Who bear the finished web away.
And cut the thread.
And bring God's message in the sun.
unou poor ouna spinner, wone ir aone."
