The contention between Mr.. William r..
Crewen. ex-member of the British Parlia-
ment. and Senator Morgan relative to the
latter's position towards the arbitration
treaty raises a question OF veracity. Mr..
Crewen says that in an interview he had
with Senator Morgan the latter said so and
so. and the Senator say he did not say
anything Of the kind. AS the case stands
the Journal is disposed TO believe Senator
Morgan. 1t would not be fair TO doubt the
veracity Of a United States senator on the
unsupported evidence of an ex-member Of
the lower house of Parliament. Interna-
tional comfy demands that If the word Of
a senator is to be impeached it should be
done by a member Of the House of Lords.
Matters of this kind should be conducted
with due regard for good form.

A French statistician and social econo-
mist produces figures to show that the
French power and prestige. He shows that
the births per one thousand of inhabitants
have decreased from twenty-seven in the
decade 1910 to 1850 to twenty-five during
the decade 1850 to 1890, while every other
leading country in Europe shows a decided
increase. The writer says if this is to con-
tinue it means the end of France. There
can be no doubt Of that, but his expose
is defective in not suggesting any reason
for the decrease of births nor any remedy
for the situation.

New York newspaper publishers are high
ly indignant over the bill pending in the
Legislature forbidding the publication Of a
portrait without the subjects consent. The
measure is ostensibly intended as a protec-
ton to the privacy Of individuals. but is
really in the interest of the general public,
which cares as little for the average news
chance notoriety as it does for the picture
accompanying a patent medicine testi-
monial. AS the bill is likely to become a

some relief.

In 1891 only eighty-four tons of alumni
ium were manufactured in the United
States. but last year 60 tons were put upon
the market. Twelve years ago the price
aged 40 cents. The increased production is
due to the application of cheaper methods
for turning practically worthless material
into the most useful of metals. When the
process is discovered which will reduce the
cost to 10 or 20 cents a pound, iron, steel
and other metals will have an active COM

1t may be that Colorado's 'coffee-pea"
makes a beverage which old coffee drinkers
prefer TO the richest Mocha and Java, but
on the part OF many there is such a
prejudice in favor OF those standard
articles that they will prefer them at the
same price Still. If the coffee pea. yielding
one hundred bushels an acre. good for hu-
man food and to fatten cattle. proves to be
even a fair substitute for coffee. it can
take the place OF a lot OF very bad COM
