not invalidate the judgment in question.
We cannot find in the evidence any war
rant for the conclusion that the plaintiff
has acquired, or sought to acquire, al in
terest IN the defendants business or vic.
lated any provision OF the license laws; nor
can we discover any bar to the collection
Of the balance Of the loan by process upon

These two opinions are so clearly at
variance rs to occasion surprise that
two judges, both celebrated for legal
acumen and clear perception, could
get so far apart in Interpreting q single
law as applied 10 a single group of
facts. 1t is possible that public opin-
ion throughout the Estate will divide in
much the same radical amer. The
trouble probably is that while Judge
Gordon had in mind the intent Of the
Brooks law, or at least of the majority
sentiment behind it, J Justice McCollum
looked singly to its letter. 1t will not
be seriously maintained by him that it
is coincident with tho public good to

land and New York markets and has
already begun the work. Arrange
ments have been made by which Nova
Scotia coal can be landed at New York
for from 80 to 40 cents a ton less than
is charged for coal from Newport
News, even after paying the duty of
rs cents per ton. This will take the
place Of the small anthracite used in
mills, and will cut into both hard and
soft coal producers"
This information comes in the nature
Of news and has one element Of i'm.
probability, viz the fact that the
Whitney syndicate, while awaiting the
action of its congress, has not yet put
Its Nova Scotisn properties in shape fol-
a prolonged commercial war. 1t may
be that owing to the bituminous strike
it can get small quantities of Goa
landed in New York and sold, despite
the present Mckinley duty of rs cents
per ton. But this advantage would moi
last long, if Republicans had the max
ing of the laws; for they would raise
the duty on soft coal the moment it was
discovered that foreign miners in a
Canadian province were undermining
American miners in American markets.
The Whitney syndicate is desperate
and determined; hut it will meet it'
doom 80 far as this country is con
cerned as soon as the people choose
their next assortment Of congressman.

Grafton Of puerile falsehoods about THE

delight in ~parading the delusion that
Mr.. Scranton. in his relation as the
publisher Of a competing newspaper, is
somehow concerned in the direction of
TIE TRIBUNE; aud were it not that
such an ~inIimatioD, however contempt
IDLY originated. is liable to occasion
misunderstanding, we should regard
it a pity to rob the Rscoid of its pet
plaything.
But facts are facts; and among the
numbsr is the fact that Mr.. Joseph A.
Scranton not only has had enough to
do to attend to his own affairs since
THE TRIBUNE started, but that if he
ever lacked employment in the past,
this journal is rapidly making anxiety
for him today by printing ev-

the FUN That ADAM MISSED.

That Adam was a lonely man
Pm ready to believe,
Although his many days were blest
With natures fairest Eve;
BY maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus | often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
1t Seems to me his life was like
An oft-repeated dream;
He never treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
He never, when n little boy,
By grown-up girls was kissed;
And when he died he never knew
The fun that he had missed.
He never went security
And had the note to pay;
Ae never saw his banks cashier
Steal gracefully away;
In all his life he never by
A mOther-in-law was kissed;
But why so on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missedp
Perhaps, if he were living now
But, then, why speculate?
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed;
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.

THE RINGING Of church bells upon
Sundays is an offense to very few, if
TO any. Upon the contrary, there are
thousands who hear it with marked
pleasure. The sweet tones of church
chimes are identified with some of the
most beautiful and ennobling senti-
ments and recollections that fill out the
human experience. To argue that it
constitutes an infraction of the rights
of the majority is to get outside the
domain of sensible argument and into
the depths Of embittered spleen.
