An Eleventh Commandment.

The eleventh commandment has al
ways been accepted as implying the
duty of every man To mind his own bus
iness. According To Professor Gold win
Smith IN MdcmillGn'S Magazine, an
eleventh commandment must mean The
reverse Of this. But he declares that
an eleventh commandment, as app.ica>
BILE 10 prohibition, is impossible unless II
receives the concurrence of the whole
civilized world. This view of the COM
mandment question is not encouraging
iE the case of our proposed constitution
al amendment, surrounded as we would
be- on every side by nor -concurring
neighbors.
One of the confessed causes OF the
failure of Prohibition in the States
where il has been tried has been the
environment. In Philadelphia it would
be nugatOTy from the outset because
Camden is just across the river and
Gloucester near AT hand But even the
interior colnties would not go dry.
They never have In Maine or any OF the
States where the experiment has been
tried. Even IL all ihs States, by gen
eral act, could be brought under the In
fiuence OF prohibitory law 1t is doubt
full If Prohibition would succeed. All
tue JUN bhC OAAoaNS w
make il effective, and all the world
will do nothing of the kind.
But Professor smith raises still an
other question iu regard TO this attempt
to engraft a new commandment npou
the decalOgue. He charges that Pro-
hibition has been productive of crime.
He contends that wherever drunken
ness is repressei by absolute Prohibition
it increases. He quotes from Official
reports in Prohibition States to prove
that the mere fact that the law seeks TO
prevent men from drinking arouses the
determination to drink. The acts of
James l. aud Charles I. to suppress
tippling places and the people at the
same time. The gin Act of George II.
only made bad worse and had to be re-
pealed. Maine has bad Prohibition for
thirty years. and yet there is more
drunkenness in the towns of that State
than in any part OF the Union. All
this seems 10 confirm the general
opinion among the people that the ten
commandments are still sufficient for
practical purposes. and that only
high license can take the place OF the
proposed eleventh commandment

Look Out for the Tea YOu Drink.

Now comes a statement that should
star lie every tea drinker in the land.
It is by the Hon. VIM. 5. Cromwell,
United States Consul At Annoy, China.
He says there has been a marked
shrinkage of teas it TO drink in the past
year, from that quarter, but the def
cheney has been made up by poorly
cultivated, poorly picked dirty and adul-
terated stuff stamped as OOlong. This
''stuh'-foI it is by this title that the
Annoy Commissioner of customs in his
official report speaks Of its marketed
wholly IN the United States This IS
the result OF the greed and rsscality Of
importers, not because American tea
drinkers want such tea, OF because they
cannot afford TO paw for better.
Through ignorance they easily become
the victims OF impOsters. Consul
CrOwell says he has many times called
the attention of United States authori-
ties TO this subject, and does it again
in the hope of preventing the consump-
tion OF the stuff called Annoy 0olOng.'
He says cur laws are sufficient to pro-
tect the public against spurious teas,
which are nevertheless dumped into the
New \ NOTk market, land by some Oc-
cult means imposed on the public. -
Consumers have fair warning. The
worst part of the fraud probably is that
when the teas reach the consumer the
brand has been changed and the proof
Of the quality removed. II PsttSblrg.

The Situation in France.

General BOulanger's suggestion of a
rising IN France may prove a flash In
the pan, but ii mas its serious side.
The Republic as it now exists is unsat-
isfactUry to 4 maturity of the French
people. II it Is TO be continued in de-
hance of that majority there cannot
fail TO be a rising, and in that case il is
impossible TO predict what the end will
be.
1t is TO be regretted that the friends
of more thoroughly Republican system
IN France should have made Boulanger
their IDOL and leader, simply because he
Is not man whose character, aims and
ability justify the confidence reposed in
him. The weakness of reform in
France is in its champion. This weak
ness, indeed. is so great that in the end
il must bring about the downfall of the
Republic unless wiser counsels prevail
on both sides.
1t is :or the present Ministry to save
the Republic. That can only be done
by giving France more liberal con-
stitutiOn. This is the year to do It. II
1t is not done there will be an OUT
break, and the revolution at which
BoClanger hints can oaIy bring evil. 4
new and liberal constitution, on the
other hand. can only bring good results.

Let the Consultation Alone.


Oue Of the chies objections urged
against the working of the present State
Constitution is the restraint Put upon
special legislation. But it may be
doubted whether any other feature % it
has proved more salutaTy in operation
10 the great body Of the people of Penn
sylvania. The Constitution turned
over 20 the Courts the consideration
and determination of many matters
which before it's adoption had blocked
the wheels of legislation. 1t has en-
larged the scope of municipal powers,
bringing government nearer 10 ths
hand of the governed.
Those who can remember 70 what a
desperate condition the business of leg
islatiOu had been brought. in consequ-
ence OF the indefinite lir:itations of leg
islative action provided by the Copsti-
tuition of 1888, will revolt at the idea
OF any change that should involve re-
turn to similar looseness. There is
room and verge enough for special
legislation under the forms OF procedure
now established.
The inability of the Legislature to spe
cially legislate for cities 50 sheltered
should be devoutly thankful for. The
Courts have nulliied this particular
Il
burg, but in common with the other
cities of the State, since 1873 they have
been getting out of debt /; the possibili-
tY Of increasing Indebtedness beyond
prudent limit has been denied them,
and their has been a noticeable gain
in The quality of local administration.
The provisions of the constitution
with regard to taxation are only en-
barrassing because they interfere with
unscientifc and crude methods. The
equality insisted upon is not that
chiInera OF uninstructed minds, an
equality of distribution, but an equality
OF rate upon whatever object of taxation
may be selected.
Doubtless the single part of the Con-
stItutiou that has not worked well, in
so far as it has been tried, Is that relat.
ing to the judiciary. This has been
seized upon by .he Legislature to make
its provisions more repelleDt by eXtrsv>
agant Interpretation and by needless
augmentation of the public burdens.
But there is no need for a Constitu-
tlonal Convention, as there was no need
for the twOpenny Poll tax amendment
or the ProhIbitory amendment to be
voted upon next month. The call for a
Constitutional Convention when it shall
come from the people will be heard and
needed. But the dissatisfaction of pro-
tessiOnal politicians should no more be
regarded than the bowling OF wolves.
The very fact OF their discomfort argues
for the larger safety of honesty and IN
dustrious people, out of whose earnings
they make pecariOus llving.-PbilG.

Harrison and tAe CoIored Men.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Presi-
dent, 1t Is reported, has tIipped up ia
his first recognition of the colored
brother. The man appointed is the
Rev. J. NJ. Townsend, OF Richmcad,
Ind, and the Office is the Recordership
OF the General Land Office, worth
1000 a year. Mr.. Townsend is a
prominent clergyman in the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and at the
last General Conference came within a
few votes of being elected a Bishop.
Another Bishop is to be elected next
Fall, and Mr. Townsend, as matters
now stand, seems to be sure of the
place. Bnt his friends say if he should
go into politics his chances for the
5ishopric would be blIghted. He is now
struggling with the proposition, and his
friends think the outcome will be bis
declination Of the political Office.
The relations IN general betweensthe
colored brother and the Administration
are still strained. Colored leaders from
the South have been calling at the
White House every few days for two
months, but beyond a few assurances of
friendship they have secured nothing.
The President has said TO them that il
they viii only wait everything will
woTk out TO their satisfaction.

In the Line OF Duty.

WASHINGTON, May. 14-Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Bussey to-day
made another important pension ruling.
Geo. w. Allen was a member of Com
psny IL, Seventy-second Indiana Vol
uuJeers. In December 1862. while in
camp at Bledsoe Greek, Tenn, the
troops were ordered to plav ball for ex-
ercise. While doing so, Allen fell and
sorained his arm, which is now disabled.
10 1897 he applied for a pension, but
Pension Commissioner Black rejected
the application on the ground that the
wound was not received IN the line OF
duty. Secetary Bussey reYeTses that
decision and grants pension 20 Allen,
as the injury was incurred in the line
of duty.

The London Standard thinks that
few American plutocrats enjoy their
money. Most of them, it says, get it at
a time OF life when they are too old to
begin to learn anew the art Of living.
They have never done anything but
form combinations and rake in money.
Public life they despise. They have no
position as great landowners or mobiles
to keep up. Most Of them are too slen-
derly educated to appreciate science, or
art, or learning, though now ard then
they found universities, or buy fashion,
able French pictures. But, as a rule.
the feelings of the class may be repre-
sented by the late Mr.. Vanderbilt. who
declared that the weight OF his wealth
crushed him-That he had no pleasure
IN money, ard no uss Cor Ii. The
Standard IS mistaken when it SAYS that
our plutocTata deSpise public life. The
fact is that most of them regard their
career as unfinished until they szcceed
il buying seat in the United States
Senate. II is true, though, that after
they become Senator they despise pub,
lie life heartily enough. The SharoDs
and Standfords and that iIk are hardly
ever heard OF as authors orsadvocates Of
any important public measure.
