The New York Times remarks: Ger
tain ignorant writers for the press have fall
len foul of the Secretary of the Treasury for
Secretly selling bonds, and thus return
ing to ''pernicious practice" which has
been condemned by Congress. A little in
telligent inquiry would have convinced any
person not willingly bent on avoiding the
truth that the Secretary had nothing what
ever to do with the bonds in question, and
that the bonds were not the property of the
United States. 1t is amazing that anybody
presuming to make public comment on pass
ing events should think that "Indian trust
funds are in any way under the control of
the Secretary of the Treasury. The bonds
sold were held in trust by the Secretary of
the Interior for the benefit of certain Indian
tribes. They were sold in pursuance of
law of Congress, by the Treasurer of the
United States, under orders from the Secre-
tary of the Interior, who is bound to man
age the funds for the best interests of the
wards of the Nation, just as the guardian of
minor children must manage the property
temporarily committed to his custody. Un-
less it should have been predetermined that
silly SANDER was to be coined, the authors
of that latest bit of financial gossip must
have seen that Secretary Window has no
more power over the Indian trust bonds
than he has over the army and navy

Too Utterly Too.

The spectacle Of two hundred and fifty faith
full disciples of the School of the Unfathoma-
bic and the Impossible sweItering at Concord
with the thermometer at 81 degrees in the
shade, all striving to seize upon and assimilate
into their understandings the solid chunks of
dictionary pitilessly SHE'D at them by the phil
osophers, is at once sad and amusing. 1t is
painful to think how much good time is wasted
which might be spent at lawn tennis or rowing
on Walden pond, or even at picnics. 1t is
droll to think Of whole company of pIesuma-
bly, intelligent persons striving to catch hold of
tangible ideas which constantly evade them
even as Macbeth clutched at his elusive dag
ger, or the bald-beaded editor whacks with the
last congressional speech the place where erst
the sportve fly was resting. 1t was only last
evening that Professor Harris told them in his
third lecture:
"Externality and exclusion go together In
mind-or coneious being we have participa-
tion or incision. The conscious subject recog-
nizes itself in its object. Recognition is the
opposite of exclusion. Gravity, as the tenden-
oy of all matter to seek the unity of d point, is
tendency to eliminate externality. Could
gravity have unlimited sway it would destroy
all matter by reducing it to point entirely
devoid OF extension. Light radiates from
point and he's an opposite tendency from gray
ity. But light possesses the wonderful attri-
butte of bringing in unity where there is sep
aratiQn and distance caused by extension or
exteInality. The luminous body is, in a GER
tGin sense, present as as far as its rays extend,
L is present ideally, and objects illuminated
by it are present TO it, ideally. Light seems to
be an anticipation of the mind in that attri-
butte of participation, or in possessing u unity
while still multiplicity
And Professor Harris keeps making similar
remarks right on, without break, except for
food. We can only say, after reading the
above sentences, that if these are really as
those, wherefore, why not, and what of it?
These Concord philosophers are to reabthought
what Oscar Wilde and the London esthetics
are to art,-"quite too utterly too"

He who wears one is Obliged to keep the rest

Gently met his death at the hands of Geor-
gian whose family he had succeeded in
breaking up, the work continues without
abatement. The Atlanta Constitution takes
occasion to denounce in no stinted language
the evil. 1t says:
We may put this question in hundred diff
ferent shapes each more suggestive than the

the emissaries of Mormonism find North Geor-

have offered to pay for the damage done to
the property of the Jews. In one district
they have deposited 800 rubles for the pur-

Jews in Smjela have been followed by very
serious measures for the restoration of Or
der. 1t is said that men, women and chill
dren were whipped. In some cases even
ladies of good position received 800 strokes.
