part of the government who testifies on oath and the witness who, in obedience to a Mibptrna, produces relevant evidence. Testimony given formally and without legal service will not entitle the giver to legal absolution. The differences between the two houses will be easily adjusted in conference, for It Is the policy of both to establish a clear and definite standard, so that the government will know when it confers immunity and the people who give testimony or produce written evidence will know when they are entitled to immunity. Assurance of this sort cannot but be as welcome to the witness as it will be to the government's investigating and prosecuting agents. In view of the free and general criticism which Judge Humphrey's ruling evoked.

Mr.

resolution forbidding the display of posters depicting scenes of crime or of Immoral suggestion was, it is agreeable to record, unanimously adopted by the Board of Aldermen, and there can be no doubt that it will be cordially approved by sane and decent public opinion. An Inclination to make sport of it has. it is true, been manifested In a few places, either thoughtlessly, no doubr, or else on the part of those whose opinion Is Inconsequential. It is easy to do that sort of thing. There is nothing in the world easier to sneer at than that which is good; nothing easier to ridicule than that which is worthy of commendation.

Hut no really good thing was ever thus destroyed. Roth the facts and the logic of the case are indisputable. Every observant man knows that public billboards have been displaying In increasing numbers images of crime and of salacious suggestion and of indecent of the human form. In most cases the purpose has been to advertise performances in theatres, and in the majority of the advertisers have morally guilty of swindling through false pretences, tor the posters are monstrous misrepresentations of the actual scenes on the sfaije In some rases "best sell in books, Bad in others articles of food and of clothing, mid medicines, have thus offensively been exploited. li are the facts.

Now. what of the For many years in this state- the legal infliction of capital punishment has in private, because it is rightly believed It would have a demoralizing and brutalizing influence if made a public spectacle. Why. then, permit Its portrayal, and the portrayal of murder on the public billboards and hoardings? We need not rehearse the beliefs. which are all but universally held, concerning the Influence of example and of upon the mind of youth, and also to some extent of manhood.

Well, here we have been tolerating the flaunting of wicked examples and of vile suggestions before the eyes of both youth and age. Either our beliefs concerning the influence of wh things are all wrong, or we have been tolerating evil of the worst kind to a disgraceful degree. The poster business is grossly abused In more than one direction. It is an abuse to let it escape its share of taxation. It Is an abuse to let it obstruct the vision and to disfigure the aspect of the city and the landscapes Of the country.

For these things, which it is doing every day in a thousand places, the business well deserves to feel the correcting and restraining hand of the law. Hut when it goes far beyond even such offences and becomes nn instructor in crime, and a purveyor of indecent and Immoral suggestion it deserves to feel the power of the law exerted through the grip or the Sheriff or the club of the policeman. It will be well if prompt warning is taken from the adoption of Mr. Coler's resolution, and if, therefore, the of the poster are altogether reformed A HAPPY PROSPECT. The Hon.

Plunkitt has iv 't nnich in sviaasjee of late, but be has an understudy. The Hon. Lemuel Kly yuijis is still on -k and piepared to that the cause of bonest craft docs not go without a champion. In some the understudy is superior to the prototype. He is noi quite so racy of the soil, but he is better read and more philosophical.

He does not talk to the honest grafters as one of themselves, but. with a fine air of detachment and superior wisdom, expounds to them the principles of boaaat grafting as theories of high statesmanship, and comforts them with the Itelief thai an appetite for honest graft Is really a patriotic impulse to benent their part; and serve their country. Mr. Qoigg has had patriotic impulses himself and can speak persuasively on the subject. Mr.

Qnigg's views on patronage and campaign contributions, as to the patriotic voters of St Luke's Place, are on lnrge personal experience and profound study of history. He in corporate contributions and docs not wish plutocrat's altruistic zeal to be cruelly blocked at the point on pain of that publicity which every modest millionaire wishing to keep his business out of politics must feel. He has received corporate contributions himself possibly distributed money for corporations where, with his large, statesmanlike vision, be knew- it would do the most gcnwl to the great American people for whom his heart beats with an ever strong and steady pulse and he knows there is nothing corrupt or corrupting about It. In this muck-raking age good motives are greatly misunderstood, and it is really pathetic that the unselfish devotion of Mr. Thomas F.

Ryan to the people in general and the Republican party to which ha does not in particular should be as little appreciated. As to patronage. Mr. Qalsjg cannot speak so much from knowledge. he has not flourished in the golden age of Jobs.

Hut in his boyhood, when, like another Joan of Arc, be bad calling to noble and knightly deeds beneath the. Delaware peach trees, there was such a golden age of Republican politics in this city. Under the leadership of Chester A. Arthur, Mr. Qutgg us, federal positions were guaranteed to ten men in every election district, and naturally patriotism and Republican principles flourished, whiln now there are only two exempt positions in the entire federal service, here.

Moreover, an unconscionable constitution has equally demoralized the state, county and city services. Con- I he informs us: Ay it is now. the Tammany organization In this county has us "skinned to death." And why? Because they have an organization that has and we haven't, Ail the almanacs must be things, for they fail to show the glorious Republican lories of the Arthur days, but would leave reader not like Mr. In political phil osophy nd btsssry to suppose that In yv-ars Tammany had un rather more "skinned 10 death" than we are now. and that all the local victories of the Republican party had been achieved in these degenerate of Service reform.

Hut doubtless Mr. and, anyhow, the doctrine thai every eU-ction precinct should have ten jobs is well to endear to the hearts of 3d Assembly District voters Mr. Quigg and his corporation backers who want the chance, to give mom than la charity without violating the scriptural Injunction nsjaiiw!

Van Wyck Still. we may take heart Mr. Qulgg is coining to the rescue. A few months ago lie favored Mr. Tarsons he tlnought that course would injure Mr.

odell; but he baa learned bis error, and now he is against Mr. Parsons because he thinks Mr. Parsons wants to injure Mr. Odell. So he is going to take' command once more and show Mr.

Parsons and those Republicans who support President Roosevelt and Governor and haven't been lying awake nights grieving over the enactment of the Civil Service laws and the barring of the insurance and other corporation treasuries against the politicians, how a great party should be run in the Interest of the people. It is true, as he complains, that the, "Cement" of public plunder, which proverbially has great cohesive power, is lacking, but In place of it Mr. Quigg will supply principles and brains especially principles. How thankful we should THE CROWNING OF HAAKON. Prophets of evil concerning the Scandinavian countries receive their final discomfiture to-day in the peaceful crowning of King Haakon of Norway with the cordial approval of the world.

It is only a year since the beginning of the oontroTeny which culminated in Norwegian separation, yet so smoothly and expeditiously have the incidents of that year proceeded and so complete baa been the acquiescence, of the world in them tJiat it is with a of sur prise that we are reminded that the new kingdom is less than a year old. and that Its sovereign has not yet been formally crowned. It almost seems to ilmv though Norway had been an independent realm ever since the Of the earliest HaakOM and Omfs, At any rate, we may consider it as well secured in its new or ncstored sovereignty as any of its neighbor realms. For the separation of Norway from Sweden was a natural and logical thing. The very fact that both peoples came from the same racial stock really emphasized the desirability of It, for it has ever been the rule that unless they be exactly agreed two branches of ono race cannot Jh-e together In amity, but are more likely to quarrel than aliens.

Beyond doubt there were radical and irremediable differences betwuen two which made It impossible for them to remain friendly while thus artificially yoketl together, even though the King did strive impartially to promote tlie welfare of both. The moment however, the political bond wns broken the power of those for mischief vanished, and there is now no reason why two should not become and permanently continue the of friends. We must rejrard the accession and coronation of Haakon VII. then, not only as the realization of Norway's legitimate ambition, upon which thai nation is warmly to be COUffiatalated, but aiso mm auspidoaa of mucn rood to all the Scandinavian peoples. The nations nre now all entirely separate and Independent, yet they are more closely united in sympathy and spirit Than they have been for since tholr division That sturdy and adventurous race has played great part in the drama of than thousand yean, and has splendidly emblazoned history with such naires as of Canute, Letf, Otof, Haakon, Charles and Gostavus.

Vet to-day it seems still to be vital with the energies of youth, as though Us wen- a new country in the West Instead some of the oldest lands of Europe. It Is with brlfrht prospects that Huakon and Hand have begun their reign, and the world -will rejoice those prospecta amply realtaed. IHEAD oh' THE SCHEDULE. The time at which the current summer began can he computed In two ways. Astronomically, son opened at precisely 2:56 oVdock this morning.

At that particular instant the sun further north of rr equator than it had been before or would be again this year. A standard than almanac, bowerer, is found in the weai her. If meteorological conditions alone were consulted, it would appear that summer had been In progress tor days. Although tiieje have Keen no distresslng bursts of heat, such as nn- oftf-n ob- Kerved In June, ttif mean temperature of the last three weeks lias been fully two degrees jilcive the normal. More remarkable than this slight excess of warmth is the humidity which has prevailed for several days, Beginning with Saturday last, there has been an almost unbroken period in which the air has been charged with moisture Dearly to the, point of saturation.

Though a comparatively small amount of rain has fallen, the skies have bean almost continuously clouded. The Inconvenience caused by the swelling of woodwork and other objects having high absorptive powers has equalled that usually expericneed during dog days. Again, while a person could be comfortable at any hour of the twenty-four if he remained quiet, a little energetic exercise has made him feel as if ho had translated to the. middle of August. It is axiomatic that wet bulb thermometer one whose bulb is covered with muslin that li kept continuously moist.

more faithfully represents "sensible temperatures" than does a dry Instrument. When the readings of the two are rather close together the cooling effect of evaporation from the skin Is percapdble. When they are far apart evaporation is rapid and the consequent relief is great Most of the time yesterday, for instance, the wet bulb instrument read only 3 or 4 degrees lower than the dry bulb thermometer, though the difference once amounted to degrees. A week or ten days ago, when the atmosphere had peculiarly exhilarating quality which is characteristic of October and April rather than of June, the two readings were 14 or 15 degrees apart. In winter generally the atmospheric pressure is higher over the continents than over oceans.

In summer the conditions are reversed. At both seasons the air tends to flow from regions of high press to of low pressare. Hence from this time onward for two or three months most of the breezes which visit the Atlantic coast will come from the sea, bearing with them a good deal of vapor from the Gulf Stream. There will be Interruptions, no doubt There always have been in the. I after the distribution of air over the.
