MEDIAEvAL1sM.

TFrom Europe in the Middle Age.1
The same process is seen in other re-
aims of the medieval world. Pressure
from without and foresight within
constrain the church to organize itself.
AS long as the Barbarians remain Bar
barians they need and appreciate the
strength of the church. But as they
grow in civilization they press every
where against the bounds that have
been put to their activities; It is the
with notion of its necessity. But
gradually they deprive 1t of one attrib-
ute after another, until it becomes
mere skeleton among the nations. Again
the ancient warrior develops into the
mail-clad knight. The elaborate ETH
quette of chivalry rises out of the rude
beginnings of tribal and private war
fare. But the serf is rising also. When
he becomes freeman he must bear the
arms of his class. The ignoble English
archers destroy the flower of French
knighthood at Agincourt and the Swiss
pikemen roll back the HapSburg from
the slopes of the Alps. Military PROV
ess ceases to be the possession of
class, just as learning does. and feudal-
ism, which was Indispensable to the
more savage times, gradually ceases to
dominate the political ideas of men, The
social system WidenS to take in people
who were once reckoned little better
than brutes. Reason begins to claim
the attention which at one time was
accorded only to force and to supersti-
ton.
The world accommodates itself to this
new demand. The meagre monastic
and cathedral school gives way to the
nascent university, the stout old barons
find the growing cities and the deSpiSed
merchant and artisan too strong for
them. Thus the Renaissance does not
begin in day. 1t is merely
the browning fact in a series. the logical
result of processes which had been 60
ing on for centuries. 1t is signalized by
inventions and discoveries Of vast i'm
mort but the that DrecRd6d had

KATE GREENAwAY.
TFrom the Boston Globe. ]

lfrOL1 the Boston GlODG-
Kate Greenaway, the talented English
artist. has done more to reVOlutionize
children's dress than any other living
woman No woman is better known in
England and in America than she, and
YET no WomanS personal life and habits
are less known and talked of than hers.
The reason of this lies in the fact that
she regards her private life as some
thing sacred to herself and friends. and
she has never allowed anyone to inter-
view her and refrainS from accepting
attentions and entertainments that
would bring her into conspicuous po-
sition.
She lives, however, in an old and pic
tureSque house in the neighborhood OF
Hampstead Heath, and has her studio
here on the top floor, large well light
open out into a balcony, where Miss
Greenaway loves to sit ON pleasant days
and she is most industrious and to her
hard work, originality and love for chill
dren is attributed her great success
Like every other successful man and
woman, Kate Greenaway toiled long
and earnestly before fame smiled upon
her.
First she studied at the art school
in South Kensington, and next at the
life classes at Heatherley's, another IA
nous London studio, and at the Slade
school. When her first pictures were ex-
hibited at the Dudley Gallery they at
tracted some attention and much praise
and it was after this that Miss Green
away devoted herself to illustra ting
children's books and to designing Christ
mas, birthday and dinner cards, menus,
and all kinds of pretty and artistic nov
elites.
A collection of pretty colored sketches
of children dressed in the quaint, old
fashioned gowns of a century ago, pub
hished under the title of Under the
Window brought her fame. This was
not only confined to the artistic brother
hood, but fashion quickly recognized
the charm and style of these pic
turesQue costumes and adopted them.
Until then children had been overdress-
ed or unattractively dressed, and the
beautiful and numerous fashions in
dainty gowns and cloaks and hats
which combine sensible comfort and
warmth with aesthetic taste in color
and form, all date from Miss Kate

SLAVERY AND SOCIETY.
TFrom the Atlantic Monthly.J

[From the Atlantic Monthly
In the first place. the citizens of all
the southern states have been affect
ed in more ways than they imagine by
that defunct institution of slavery, of
which many of them have no personal
knowledge. They are likewise affect
ed today by the fact that they are
brought into perpetual contact with a
free alien race, to whom they are theo-
retically bound to allow legal and DO
litical rights, but to whom they can
not allow social rights without the risk
of disintegrating their own civilization.
They are further affected by the fact
that in every locality and grade of So
cHeIy men and women are to be found
who represent an old order of things
who inculcate social and political prin-
ciples alien to American ideals and
who seek in every way to foster senti-
ments that favor southern segregation,
and that antagonize the unifying forces
at work in the rest of the nation. They
are affected finally by the fact that
the dominant political party for many
years practically treated them as citi-
zens of section, and by its legislation
welded them into a compact mass of
taxpayers, who, rightly or wrongly, re-
garded themselves as tribute payers.

the south of today is united by ties of

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
THE TRUSTSP

The investigation of the various trusts
which have been operating in New
York, that is now being conducted by
a legislative committee under the lead
ership of Senator Lexow of that state.
If it does nothing more, may serve TO
give the public an insight into the meth
DDS employed in their organization and
workings. It is improbable that any
check will be put upon them unless it
be in the way of legal restrictions.
There will be trusts or combinations
of capital and business. The changed
conditions in the commercial world as
the result of competition in the labor
market and all other markets seem not
only to have rendered these combina-
lions possible, but necessary as well.
There is a constant demand on the part
of the general public for cheaper goods
of every kind, owing largely to re-
duced incomes and lack of employment
and in order to supply this demand,
cheaper production has become a neces-
sity.
Manufacturers of staples naturally
organize to produce more cheaply and
control the prices.
If the testimony adduced by the Lex
pw committee is to be taken as true,
trusts are not an unmitigated evil For
instance, one of the officers of the sugar
trust produced figures to show that the
price of refined sugar to the consumer
has been greatly reduced since the COM
bine was formed. although the profits of
the refiners have been enormous. To
be sure somebody must suffer for all
this but who is it? On the principle of
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, is it not better so? Everybody
uses sugar
One class which has suffered from the
organization of the sugar trust is the
worknen in refineries. The testimony
of the official first quoted is to the effect
that wages have not been reduced, but
one-half the men previously employed
were discharged owing to the improved
methods and machinery which the trust
was able to introduce
Another source of the profit to The
trust results from it's ability to limit the
profits of the dealers. This, of course,
does not cost the consumer anything.
The trusts set up as a defense of their
existence that without them it would
be impossible to compete with foreign
producers of similar articles. and as a
consequence the number of the unem-
ployed would be vastly increased.
The public probably has only vague
Idea of the formation and operation of
these vast corporations, but it is thor
oughly imbued with the conviction that
they are bad. However this may be,
they are here to stay and there will be
more of them. AS any attempt to pre-
vent their formation would probably
prove futile, the next best thing would
appear to be to control them. This can
be done through their charters and by
treating them as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

CONVICTION OF JOHNSON.

The bringing in of a verdict of guilty
against Samuel C. johnson by the Alma
jury is surprising, considering the fact
that the evidence published in full in
yesterdays Journal does not prove that
Mr.. johnson received the stolen bodies
at the college.
The inference from the testimony is
that he did, but inference is not proof.
In spite of the weakness of the testi-
mony given against him, however, the
jury found a verdict of guilty. The
jury is composed mostly of farmers,
who care little for the scientific needs
of colleges; it seems strange that the
attorneys for the defense would desire
to take their case into a farming com
munity. where the prejudice against
dissection itself is violent. A Shawnee
county jury would have been likely to
give a fairer hearing.
The general belief in Topeka is that
while the faculty of the college and
those connected with it are not to be held
to so strict an account, the actual rob-
Der of the graves should be punished to
the full extent of the law. Medical
colleges must have bodies; they find
them very hard to get; they are per-
haps in a measure to be excused for
not asking questions when bodies are
brought to them, but the body-snatcher
who despoils 2 grave stands on an en-
tirely different footing. He is a GRIM
inal and more or less brutal. One can
readily understand how a jury would
convict Scavenger Lowe on sufficient
evidence, but the conviction Of Samuel
johnson, on whom guilt was not proven,
is going a little far.

AN ELECTRIC OMNIBUS
TFrom the New York Mail and Elk
T1r0GG

preSS-l
At last a successful electric omnibus
has been perfected. The vehicle was
given a trial in London January 9, and,
though the streets were in bad condi-
ton, its performance is said to have
been satisfactory in every respect.
Starting with a load of twenty-five pas
sengers, a route was selected through
some of the most crowded thorough
fares of the metropolis, all of which
were traversed with less difficulty than
is experienced with horses. The slopes
at St. Martins lane, which present a
grade about like the east approach to
Washington street bridge, though con-
siderably longer, were mounted with
ease, though the road was bad going"
and the rough surface of the London
embankment not only caused no diff
Guilty to the vehicle, but it's occupants
experienced no jolting whatever, the
motion being as smooth as over as
phalt surfaces.
The omnibus will travel fory miles
without recharging, and, unlike other
horseless vehicles, does not disgust the
occupants with an oppressive stencil or
distracting noise. Cabs constructed on
the same principle will soon be in serv-
ice in London, and by the end of the
present year it is believed that the cab
and bus horse will have disappeared.
If this vehicle proves as successful as
its first trial would indicate, it should
be of great service in solving the rapid
transit problem IN large cities.

Church Pew and Make Trouble.

Washington, Feb. 1s-Mr. and Mrs. Cor

the demand for pews that many regular
attendants have been waiting for five
lease a sitting.
When a vacancy occurs 1t has been the
custom to select the names as they come
in regular order. That the Vanderbilts
should be given precedence over resi-
dents who have patiently bided their
chance has given much offense in spite
of the fact that Mr.. Vanderbilt secured
his sittingS direct from Mrs. Frank Riggs
who is about to take extended trip
abroad.
The pew is directly back of the rector's,

A HOTEL AXIOM.

GFrom the February Scribner.1
There is one motive that inspires ev-
cry kind of hotel so universally that it
is sort of axiom in the business. 1t
is this:
ut always pays to please the guest at
any cost"
This business is directly built up and
torn down by the opinions of its patrons
as any other one could name, and the
head mind of a hotel enterprise stays
awake at nights thinking up schemes to
please his customers. His days he then
spends in seeing to it that they are not
displeaSed.
If pleased they are likely to come
again. If they are especially pleased,
they are liable to say something TO
somebody that will bring in other pat
rons, who, in turn, may bring in still
more friends. But If they are disp1eas-
ed, exactly the opposite effect is likely
to be brought about. That is the hotel
mans situation. He would rather lose
the profits on a dozen of his patrons,
than the good will of one of them.
