valued at about SIS, ZOO. to his son James, max
ing no mention Of his other son, William II.

daughter. Mrs. LawlOr. When the will was Of
fcred for probate, Lawyer Wales T.. Severance.
who was appointed special guardian for the
-four grandchildren, began an Investigation as
10 the circumstances under which the will was

assistant to the Surrogate.
Before the accident happened to tho old man,
who was widOwer he had not been on good
terms with his son James. but was always very
much attached TO his four grandchildren, Law

TRN III on THE TRrSTS.

Depaty Attorney General Parsons, OF
Eew York, tries to excuse his neglect to
prosecute the sugar trust by saying that
it was organized under the laws OF New
Jersey and he has no jurisdiction over it's
charter; further that the Attorney General
is not a detective and it is not his province
To look up such cases until complaint is
made and they are brought officially TO
his notice.
This is the same old excuse with which
incompetent or purchasahle officials cloak
a failure TO perform their duty. 1t is tie
lamest kind of an apology for the rankest
kind Of neglect, and were so thin an apology
made TO conceal the act Of criminal, the
pleader would be sentenced for idiocy
instead Of crime. Ireither the United States
Attorney General or the alleged legal head
Of the State of New York knew there
were thieves in his house he would not
wait for u complaint before proceeding to
their capture. The position or the trusts
toward the public Is analogous. Trusts are
thieves in the household OF Uncle Sam. and
if his sworn Officers VIII not prosecute them,
who then can be Depended upon?
The last Congress incorporated a revised
antitrust law in its tariff biH. 1t was
framed by the bes; legal minds in this
country, but thus far not one OF the
numerous trusts that are robbing the
public has been prosecuted under the
provisions OF the law.
Perhaps the Attorney General is waiting
for an organized labor strike To give the Ia "
a test. His predecessor used the old law
TO suppress the Chicago strike and a number
OF labor leaders are now serving sentence
in consequence. But the public prefers
that the new law be enforced against its
legitimate prey, and the trusts cannot De
prosecuted any TOO quickly.

WILLIAM STRONG

Al the ripe old age Of eiglity-scven years,
William Strong, associate justice OF The
Supreme Court Of the United States, has
passed from earth. He was a typical
American citizen and iurlst, man Of high
spirit and manly ideas, a lawyer of keen
intellect, broad views ANA uusuIIied reputa-
tioH.
Justice Strong rendered his country con
spicuOuB service. For ten years he sat on
the supreme bench and assisted in the solu-
tion Of many legal problems that affected
large interests. The most prominent labor
be was engaged in was as member of the
electoral commission to whose Judgment was
referred the adjudication Of so delicate a
question that the safety Of our Institutions
depended upon its settlement
Justice Strong was reared in the Prcshy-
terian faith, but he was not hound by mar
row denomiuational bounds. He was a
libaral-minded Christian who followed
strictly the golden rule. AS the head Of a
family, as citizen, as lawyer nd as judge,
william Strong was bright example for all

PAY THE MORKNiEN

II there is any class OF workmen whose
pay ought to be absolutely sure, it is those
who are employed on government work
For, whatever may be Uncle Sans faults,
ne is a good and prompt paymaster, and
those that get jobs from him have no
trouble to get their money. The govern
ment, however, ought to see to it that
contractors, OF sub-contractors, do not with
hold from the worlzmen their harl-earned
wages. They have a right to them and
ought TO have them promptly when they are
due.
These remarks are apropOs OF the fact
that nearly forty bricklayers and others EN-
ployed IN the construction of the new bar
racks at Fort Myer have owing TO them a
large amount or unpaid wages. The worst
OF it is that it seems Impossible TO fix the
blame where it belongs, but the men are
suffering just the same. Their families
have wants that must be supplied. If the
wages, by means OF which this is usually
done, are not Forthcoming, the men are
driven to the Shylocks for help and every
body knows what that means.

Rev. DR.. Doyle Speaks of the Earnest
Green Killing.
AT the Israel Metropolitan Church sun
day morning a large audience was present
aud enjoyed the discourse OF the pastor,
Rev H. Sch Doyle, Phi D., on Coming
of the Kingdom"
Before the sermon DR.. Doyle said that
he had refrained from saying anything about
the Earnest Green killing While excite
meut was at fever heat, but now that the
calm level OF public opinion is approXimat-
ing, he could speak dispassionately.
I'VE all regret" said he, 1.-THE killing
of the youth, Earnest Green, and our sym
pathies go out to the families OF both the
murdered boy aud the young woman, Miss
Flager But no amount OF gush can
conceal the revolting circumstances OF The
killing, aud no effcrvescency OF feeling
can restore the dead.
But it is pleasant TO know that one
paper in Washington dared TO express the
coura sc OF its CONVICTIONS While the
Post, the Star, aud the News, oblivious Of
the dead boy, were tumbliug over them
selves in sympathetic Gush for the young
woman, The Times alone stood out fear
less spokesman for the right.

The officials OF the Chinese legation have
no information throwing any light on the
reported refusal OF the home government to
permit the members of the mixed British
and American commission to investig ate the
Ku-Cheng massacre.
In fact, the legation has not yet been
apprised officially OF the appointment Of
the commission. The only Xplanationgiy-
ing as a reason for the reported refusal is
that tie action reported to have been taken
was by the Chinese local officials who
possibly have not been informed by the
central government of the appointment of
the commission to make the investigation,
the local officials acting merely on their
own inclination IN the premises.
If the reported action of the Chinese be
correct, it is apparently not a matter of
very great surprise to the officials of the
State Department here. They attribute
auy refusal of the local authorities to permit
the commission to investigate the troubles
to the well-kuown desire of the Chinese to
conduct such inquiries by their own people,
the dislike to having any interference by
outsiders and the general suspiciousness
with W which they look upon foreigners
