movements for the benefit of oppressed

movements for the benefit of oppressed
and maltreated humanity.
The weak arguments used to justify
this attitude are exemplified by the
Philadelphia Times, which declares it to
be good American doctrine" to deny the
right of search, and recalls the fact that
Lewis Cass, when Minister to France, in
duced Louis Philippe to reject similar
treaty for the suppression of the slave
trade on the same ground-the question OF
the right of search. This is quite possible;
and it is an illustration of the lengths to
which pro-slavery power made the dough-
face element go, that our Minister to
France had Influenced the French King to
obstruct the fight against the sum OF all
villanies on such a pretext.
To deny the right of search, to protect
free men from being seized by impress
ment, or to protect the legal rights Of
neutral traders, is one thing. Denying
the right of search so as to afford pro-
lection to barbarians and pirates under
the flag of a civilized Republic is quite
another. The two great republics of the
world cannot afford to even indirectly
champion the cause of the Arab dealers in
humanity for the sake Of few dirty

THE latest feat in connection with the
contract labor law is the veto it has put on
the effort of a Chicagoan to add a novel
feature to the parks of that city. He had
fallen in love with the japanese jinrickisha,
and imported two of those vehicles, with
two Japanese to draw them in the parks,
where children were to ride in them free OF
charge. No possible Infringement upon
the wages of American workingmen was
intended, and the project was entirely a
work of generosity. But the Treasury De
partment construes the contract labor law
correctly enough to shut out the imported
Japs, and the Chicago children will not get
their free rides. The end of the affair does
not seem to leave much room for comment.

1t is intimated that Lord Randolph
Churchilrs efforts in the line of newspaper
correspondence ON his African trip are not a
bowling success. The New York AdUeTtiser
says that it has at least ten reporters "who
could go from London to Cape Town on a
steamship and write better two-coIumn
account of the trip than Lord Ranny has
given u.s." As the salient feature of the
lordly correspondence was a complaint of
the steamship accommodations, we may con-
clude that the reporters would not fall into
that error, unless the steamships agents had
refused the privileges of the press.

Beneficiaries of the Act,
TROUBLE OVER A NEW LAW.

A Number Of Mines in Southern Illinois
Close Down Because of 1t.
ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The Consolidated coal
mines in the Collinsville coal district in
Illinois closed down to-day, and between 300
and 400 miners are thrown out of employ
ment. The shutdown is caused by the
weekly payment law, passed by the last
Legislature of Illinois going into effect to-
day.
The Consolidated Company tried to force
its employees to sign years contract which
would result in the evasion of the weekly paw
ment law, but they refused to sign. General
Manager Simpson denies that the company
intends to fight the new law and says the
men are out only for day until a new con-
tract can be signed; but discrepancy exists
between the statements of the company and
of its employees.

A SUGAR TRUST INJUNCTION.
The Court Decision Comes Too Late, as the
Dividend Is Already Paid


NEW YORK, July Judge Barnard, sitting
in the Supreme Court has granted an injunc.
tion restricting the payment of dividend on
the stock of the Sugar Re1neries Company.
The plaintiff in the case is said to be James
A. Taylor. The injunction in this case is
similar to the action of the man who locked
his stable doorafter his horse had been taken
away.
1t is said that anyone passing by the Of
fees of the Sugar Company late last night
would have seen that the Offices were all
lit. A busy force of clerks were at work
drawing checks for the dividend and the
checks were all mailed to the stockholders
last night This done, the trustees silently
stole away and to-day it was said at the Of
fees of the company that they had all gone
fishing. None of the officers were at their
desks. This is the first dividend paid by the
company since its reorganization. The
stockholders of the company who received
their checks this morning were in some
thing of q Quandary. Those who had not
cashed their checks were somewhat dis
turbed in mind as to their right to do so.
