England's idea Of justice is that for
those who do her. or any one OF her sub
jects, an injustice no punishment is too
severe. but that the lightest possible pun
ishmcnt. If any should be inflicted upon
those OF her subjects who injure other ma
tlons, or any OF their subjects
President Kruger Of the Transvaal re-
public demanded that the men who or
ganized the conspiracy to overthrow that
republic should be tried and punished.
They are Rhodes, Harris and Belt all of
them being directors in the South African
Company.
1t Is clear that the English government
doesn't intend to comply with that de-
mand. though the justice of It cannot be
denied. The three conspirators have been
required to resign from the directory Of
the South African Company but that is
very light punishment in no way equal
to the offense committed. Besides, who
can say they win not be restored to their
positions as soon as the feeling against
them in the Transvaal republic begins to
die out. In fact, it has been already hint
ed by the London Times that the South
African Company would have a very DIFF
hcult time to get along If Cecil Rhodes
were removed from the management Of
1t, and throws out an intimation that
he will be restored to his old place before
very long.
II there should be a conspiracy to On
cite any one OF the British colonies to re-
volt England would not be satisfied as
long as one of the conspirators was alive,
yet when some of her subjects undertake
to overthrow the government of the
Transvaal republic, and she is asked to
punish the conspirators, she practically
refuses,
Denying justice to those whom she has
wronged is no new thing on the part Of
England. 1t is what causes her o be dis
liked by other nations, particularly those
which are not strong enough to insist up
on their rights.

Why the Mills Are Closing.


The action of the representatives of the
cotton and woollen mills of the south at
their meeting in Atlanta on Monday indi-
Gates very clearly that the market is over
stocked with the products of the mills 1t
was decided that there should be a reduc-
ton of fifty per cent of the present output
of the mills during the next ninety days
1t would have been decided to close the
mills for the next two months. except for
the fact that such action would have
caused great hardship to the mill opera
tives.
Many of the New England mills are eth
er closing or greatly reducing their out
put. They find it impossible to sell their
products at remunerative prices. The sup
ply of cotton and woollen goods is greatly
in excess of the demand.
The effort at the north to make it ap-
pear that mill owners are closing their
mills in order to influence their work
men to support the republican party in
the presidential campaign, because that
party promises q greater amount of tariff
protection, will meet with no success. Intel
ligent mill operatives know very we'll
that the mill owners are not able to mar
ket their products. If the mill owners were
making money they would be only too
glad to run their mills on full time. And
they have no fault to ind with the tariff.
1t is as protective as they have any rea-
son to expect. In fact, they have never
complained of it. The cotton schedule of
the present tariff was made by Senator
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, himself a mill
owner, and a republican. and it was ac-
cepted without change by the committees
that had the tariff bill in charge. If the
republican party had control of the gov
eminent and was now engaged in making
a tariff bill. it is doubtful if it would make
any material changes in the existing cot
ton schedule.
The real trouble as already stated. is
overproduction. There is depression in all
kinds of business and the product of the
mills IS much greater than the demand
for it.

Joan of Arc isn't in the race with some
of the modern psychological wonders that
France is developing. Lately Mile. Coue-
don of Paris has been astonishing the
French world with revelations alleged to
have been impaired to her direct by the
Angel Gabriel; and now there has ap-
peared in the south of France a boy of
who distances Mile Couedon. The
child is said to be illlterate, speaking no
language except the local dialect while
in his normal frame of mind. But when
he is under the spell of prophesy he
speaks not only pure French, but num-
Der of foreign languages as well, incIud-
ing Latin. Not long ago he told where
some bells. which existed only in tradI-
ton so far as the people knew, could be
found buried. Diggers went to the spot
Indicated, and after some labor found the
bells as he described. The boy has Wis
ions of st. Joseph and st. Paulus, with
whom he converses and from whom he
learns strange secrets. Poor Joan of
Arc only heard voices and was not able to
identify the spirits from which they came
THESE modern wonders not only recog-
nize their patrons. but bring them into
touch with the most commonplace and
material things.

Something for Nothing.
From the New Orleans Picayune Cd

There is an enormous attraction in the
prospect of getting something for moth
ing. or at least for a very small part of its
value, and no argument will have the
least effect on such people. But that vast
class embracing the bulk of the popula-
ton, the wage-earners, is rapidly coming
to understand that any debasement of the
currency will simply by so much decrease
their wages, and they will not endure it.

Is hydrophobia myth? There is testi-
mony from prominent physicians to the
effect that it is, to a considerable degree.
They do not say that there is no such
thing as rabies. but declare that the NAL
ady is extremely rare. The ant-vivisec-
ton society of Philadelphia has issued a
public address appealing to the people
not to circulate sensational stories about
mad dogs and the terrible results to
people bitten by them. The address quotes
a number of prominent doctors as saying
that there is practically no such afllic-
ton to mankind. as hydrophobia, and that
the malady is extremely rare even in dogs.
Most people who imagine they have hydro
phobia after they have been bitten by a
dog are merely frightened into a nervous
disorder the doctors say.

1t is reported from Washington that the
silver men are going to employ detectives
to watch the silver delegates at Chicago
to keep them from selling out to the hor-
rible gold bugs. Isn't this an uncalled-for
reflection, and an admission that the cause
is not as sound as it might be?
