National Development.

We believe that the British thoroughbred
horse Is rather better than the American. We
incline TO think that the English nonesucb,
Ormonde. would have beaten the American
champion. Salvador. When IL comes To man,
we believe that the American athlete is a
trihe superior in quality 90 the English. For
beauty, a mass of Englishmen would probably
take the prize before an impartial jury. You
would soc among the English somewhat fuller
chests and straighter backs. and the more
emphatic expression OF health which comes

fnd champions TO overmatch them In bodily
exercise. leaving out the results Of the contest

There is Little Question About the
Privilege of Fighting

RocKPoRT, Tex, Sept. 25.-Congress.
ran David Culberson, father of Governor
Culberson, is spending few days here,
and today talked freely OF the decision oil
Judge Hart on the prize-ight. Congress-
man Culberson says that the young Gov
ernor will have to back down from his
position. Congressman Culberson is re-
garded as great constitutional lawyer,
and his opinion is that the duties of the
Governor are executive and not judicial,
and that the decision of Judge Hart. as
chief justice of the court of criminal ap-
peals. cannot be questioned by the Su-
preme Court.

Mr.. Booker T. Washington. the orator Of
their own race, whom the coiored people put
forward as their spokesman at the Atlanta
at once from obscurity into fame. His speech
was not only the best which the occasion
brought forth, but was intrinsically notable
good sense which would have done credit TO
any orator and illuminated any tbome. The
colored people in their Atlanta display exhibit
not only surprising ingenuity in arts and
manufactures, but demonstrate also the pos
session of sagacious councillors and leaders
and exponents of their cause as eloquent and
Booker Washington is sure to be heard from
again. and Is worth listening to by every body,
and particularly worth needing by bis people,
to whom so wise a monitor and guide and so
and aims as well a. OF their duties and obli
cations, Is OF inestimable value.

A Banner Day at the Custom House.
American Economist

Carried away by its free-trade enthusiasm.
the New York World said recently: "Yester.
day was the banner day of the Custom House
The entries for customs were 1919 and the re-
ceipts were S43s, x65- 95. No day in the history
Of the customs at New York, under the Nc
Kinley bill, approached these receipts within
$4,000"
AS for ourselves. we would much. rather
hesr of "banner days" at American factories
on which more goods would be made and more
wages paid than ever before. There is some-
thing absurd In this boasting of the influx of
foreign goods Mt IA time when many worthy
people are out OF work and many more are
working for low wages.
The Mckinley bill can stand the implied
sneer in the above paragraph 1t did not destroy

Labor Leaders and Their Work.
N. Y. Tribune.

The dispatches from Ishpeming announcing
the complete collapse of the iron miners
struggle against their employers add another
uisbeartening chapter TO the recent history OF
strikes in this country. The miners in the
Marquette range have failed mise rably to
compel acquescence IN their demands: and
though they have not yet ceased in their
cution OF them, because the conditions that
prevail are such as 10 make success impos-
sibie. That body of men OF exceptional in
telligence such as they arc should enter upon
q struggle in which failure was foredoomed
from the start Is a dscouraging fact for the
contemplation OF those who have their inter
ests at heart. The last few years have been
full OF object lessons teaching the danger of
the unconsidered strike and the disaster and
widespread suffering that follow failure.

An Ancient Lavatory.

When we were in Swansea, Mass, last

our morning ablutions at the same lavator y
at which we washed our face and hands az
years ago and in water from the same well
and also, whatever that was worth. the refiec-
tion that we were the only person now living
who used the lavatory at that time. 1t

II was placed nearly century ago. by the
Wen and back door OF the residence of
the late William II. Wood. IL is basin hol-
lowed by Nature out of solid rock. and was
brought there from the fields and installed as
a wash basin, without any previous prepara-
tion. IL had probably been used for the same
purpose by the aborigines If we will allow
that those dirty looking creatures ever
washed themselves.

send protest to Gov. OFerrall Of Virginia

MIR. Moore has called a meeting of this
committee for tomorrow afternoon at 4
o'clock at the board of trade rooms.
The Stars Richmond correspondent tele-
graphed last evening to The Star as fol-
lows: Gov. O'Ferrall, who returned from
focahontas today, was seen by The Star
correspondent in reference to the action of
the board of trade of Washington, DC,
calling upon him to suppress the lawless-
ness in Alexandria county, Virginia. The
governor seemed surprised that the people
OF Washington persist in the belief that it
Is IN his power to- break up the gambling
dens on the island.
He says he can act only when the sheriff
calls upon him, and that officer has not
yet done so. If the sheriff called upon him
he could only send the troops to prevent
overt acts and enforce the law He is only
too anxious, he says, to wipe out this blot
OF the good name of Virginia, but until the
legislature meets again the remedy lies
with the county authorities"
