THE Emperor William of Germany
seems disposed to use his imperial
authority for the benefit Of his people.
He has conveyed to the Westphalia
mining companies his desire that they
accelerate a compromise and has eX-
pressed his displeasure at the con-
duct of the company. III creating a
false alarm and precipitating a conflict
between the miners and the military,
in such unequivocal language that
the president of the company re-
signed. The emperor has informed
his inspector who is now investigat-
ing the difficulty that the mine
owners must grant the essent ial
claims of the men or the government
will resent their action. AS the COM
panies have derived great concessions
from the government all unfriendly
attitude of the government would
most seriously affect their property.
Emperor William has shown himself
the sovereign of his people in this
thing.

The Pres byterians have not found
out that the war for the separation of
the states is over. Every general as
sembly session the question of CO.
operation with the northern church
comes up and is like bombshell in
the camp of an armed force. The
north seeks union of the two bodies;
an organic union in which the two
shall he practically if not wholly one.
The standards are the same, the
pOlity the same and the northern
church desires the union to be COM
plete. The southern body is about
evenly divided on the question. Tn g
slight majority perhaps inclined to
union but not willing to create deep
dissension by insisting. The southern
assembly now in session at Chatta-
nOOga is wrestling with this question
and considerable feeling is manifest
ed. The report of the joint committee
of the two assemblies is up for COLI
sideratiOn, and recommends co-opera-
ton. The motion to table the report
was lost rs to So aud the report was
given to committee to consider. The
union sentiment grows.

A BEGINNING MADE.

The federal court took a new de-
parture Saturday in the cases of
Uncle Sam VS.. the Rio Grande Rail
way company for importing laborers
from Mexico contrary to law. The de-
PENDANTS found out that the new pros
ecuting attorney meant business, and
knowing that costs would only multi
ply by postpOning action, came to
time like little men and paid their
81 900 fines and squared themselves
with the record. 1t is most devoutly
to be hoped that this is the beginning
of the end of the fragrant violations of
law along the Rio Grande border
Mr.. Nell, of Seguin, defines that he
has been engaged in importing
prison and pauper labor from
Europe as charged in the dis
patches from Castle garden and the
LIGHT gives him the full benefit of
his denial until something more posi-
tive than press dispatch is brought
forward to implicate him. Mr.. Gus
Wilkes case is still before the courts
and under the present regime is like
ly to be decided on it's merits. If the
I Knights of Labor have as clear case
as they thought they had three years
ago when the matter came before the
courts, there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing evidence that will convict Mr..
Wilkie and teach contractors respect
for the law and the rights of working
men which they are very slow to
understand the necessity for. This
whole matter of imported labor under
contract is destined to find its sOlu-
ton. The Western Texas district has
made the first break; the first judy
ment in Texas for violation of this law
was rendered Saturday and more will
follow. Under the amended act of
congress authorizing the secretary of
the treasury tOpay one-half of the fine,
$500 to the original informant, and
allowing the imported labOrer
himself to he that informant the
chances of conviction are very
greatly multiplied. Let the
laborer from abroad who comes here
under contract understand that he
can pocket a cool $50 for telling a
United States officer who it was
brought j i'm over and there will be
rush for the United States courts tn at
will make the labor importers see
stars. 1t is high time that the courts,
state and national, should recognize
extent at least of the rigid enforce
ment of the few laws that are in force
for their special protection.

THE investigation into the manage
ment of the Cook county insane asy-
lum continues and develops a most
pitiable condition of affairs. A de-
cided sensation was created Saturday
by Mrs. Alexander, NJ. D., of the hos
pital staff, in her reply to question
of the judge. The court asked DIR.
Alexander, "if a woman were to be
declared insane in this court now,
what do you think would be the best
thing the court could do with her if
there were no other institutions
where she could be sent?" The
answer was.-"I think her friends
should be a devised to care for her
IF she were suicidal or hOmcidal p
asked the court. Nevertheless, =" re-
piled DR.. Alexander, Il would say the
same. Ifshe should commit suicide she
would be better off than there" The
investigation reveals fearful condi-
tioD, brought about largely by politi-
cal control Of tne institution.
