The English rapers give almost daily con-
nrmasion OF this famous saying, the
latest being connected with Mr.. w II.
Stead, whose exploits In Chicago are not
yet forgotten. Now, Mr.. Stead is moth

he is the editor, he criticised the case Of

who by means OF building and loan asso-
Citations, robbed large numbers of con-
fiding Englishmen out Of thousands of
pounds and then fed 10 Argentina. After
much difficulty and expense the British
government extradlted him, and his trial
on number OF indictments for embez-
element is now progressing. Commenting
on vhe matter In his Review Mr.. Stead
observed: Another rare rogue in the
shape OF Jabez Balfour was good deal
before the courts last month. He will
reappear ait the Old Bailey, and then we
may expect TO hear no more OF him for
some time to come" This was mild COM

course Of justice by remarks calculated

Stead apologlzed for his very true but
rather dllltlmed expression of opinion,
but the judge would not accept the apol
ogy. On the contrary he fined Mr.. Stead
fl00 and costs. characterizing his conduct
as unfair. ungenerous and thoroughly
wrong" That is the way they manage
legal affairs in England. Trial by news

are judges on the bench who understand
their business. Stead could have publish

hearts content. An II would have cost

Therein is something of the difference

tained certain territory in Asiatic-Rus-
sia, through which Ut ts intended to run
a railway to connect with Port Arthur,
which latter place is TO be used as a

are cast upon this Statement by reports
from Russian sources. OF more interest
to the limited States is the informant ton
which comes from st. Petersburg to the
effect that In the commercial treaty
just concluded between Russia and japan
there is a paragraph providing that here

that this arrangement will work disad-
vantageously to the American oil pro-
ducers, American oil being lighter than
the Russian product, Though the latter
Is the cheaper.

The city of Vienna has had its munich
PAL charter suspended, after over 700
years This severe step was taken by the
emperor Of Austria, because of the fanat-
ical feeling abainst the Jews, which is so
strong that ait the last election an anti
Semitic majority was chosen TO the colfi-
cil. AS the anln-SemItes are Socialists,
the Emperor Francis Joseph at once took
the step mentioned above, dissolved the
municipal council. and appointed an im-
perial commission to administer the city
government. This action Us q long step

dlces or hatred. Ut Is a blot on civiliza-
tion. Despotdsm and bigotry are twins.

A report upon food preparat!on and
distribution In France has be.n sent to
the state departments by Consul Chancel-
lor, OF Havre. In this report he says that
the recent alleged scarcity of meat In the
uDited States, together with a very
general suspicion of American food sup
piles, have co-opeGW.ed Ito bring before
the minds OF the people OF France the
necessity of hooking to home production
for supplies. and much has already been
done TO consolidate and increase hhds
disposition by inIterdlctlng the importa-
tion OF American CATTLE, and by attempt
ing to supply unother deficiency by sub
stItutlng horseheSh, or by such means
as polfulcal economists have endeavored
to demonstrate as practical under the
following propositions: 1. That an
abundant supply OF homegrown meat
and foods can be obtained at low prices.
q That they are capable of being pre-
pared for consumption so as to yield
much better results than have been hith-
erto obtained. 8. That they can be ef-
fectively cooked In a much more econom-
ical manner than heretofore. 4. That
they may DE Distributed so as to be
promptly delivered in any and every
direction TO satisfy the wide and varied
requirements of every class OF consum-
ers. 1t is said that tine statistics show
that all the food required by ahe people
OF France can be produced In that coun-
try. and thus put into the pockets of the
French peasants many millions Of francs
hitherto sent abroad, while the price OF
meat at the same time can be 50 reduced
as TO bring It within the reach of the
poorer classes In Increased quantities.
