Probably no eastern state legislature
fools away more time with absurd legis-
lation than that which sits at Albany,
New York. One of the curiosities of the
present session is bill requiring that
all laundry checks shall be made out in
the English language and the charge
written in Arabic numerals. This, of
course, is aimed at the characteristic
industry of thrifty John CShinaman, and
that childlike and bland individual has
raised fund of $1,000 with which to
fight the bill.

Reduction Of imports, which is the
purpose of protective tariff, has been
realized to marked degree under the
Dingley law. Nearly every line of i'm
ported manufactured goods shows the
effect of the new tariff, and the rate of
decrease varies from 25 to 70 per cent.
During the five months that the law
has been in operation, there has been a
decline of 70 per cent in the amount of
woolen, goods imported, as compared
with the corresponding five months a
year ago under the German Wilson bill
Imports of pottery have fallen off 80 per
cent, cotton manufactures 26 per cent,
fabrics Of hemp and other fibres 40 per
cent Further comparisons are needless
The only question is how far imports
can be excluded without impairing the
revenue. At present certainly there is
no evidence of trouble from this source

Mckinley is repeating some of the ex.
periences of Cleveland. Gov. Tanner OF
Illinois is his latest assistant in this re.
spect, for it is he who assumes to in.
struct the president as to his duties in
regard to Cuba; and, under the guise OF
seconding the presidents call for sub
scriptions for the relief of the starving
reconcentrados, demands active inter
vention for suppressing the war. Pos
sibly it had never occurred to this
rampant governor, that the actual suf-
fering and loss would be simply in
creased by such action, but the prob
abilities are that he is only seeking for
notoliety, and cares little what the eff
feet would be.

George Kennan, who has been doing
the convict system in the southern
states, says that he saw worse sights
down there than in Siberia. He com
plains that while Russians, officially and
privately, admit the truth of what he
wrote concerning the Siberian prisons,
Americans were inclined to be skeptical.
He hopes they will take to heart what
he says about the leasing of convicts to
contractors in the south, and abolish
the prison contract system. He is not
talking in the right place for effect. He
should go south of Washington.

Flattery, cakes and tea seem to have
been wasted upon Anthony Hope Hawk
ms. for he has been saying disparaging
things about America since he got home
to London. 1t is unfortunate that these
literary lions do not know better how
to behave, after they have enjoyed our
hospitality and taken our hard -earned
dollars. Perhaps Anthony hasn't taken
away so many dollars as he expected. If
so, that may be the occasion of his too
obvious disappointment with all things
American.

No less an authority than the editor of
the Paris Figaro declares that revision
of the Dreyfus case is now certain to
come, mot because Of any doubt as to
the captains guilt, but because the le-
gality of his conviction is gravely i'm
pugned." Col. Picquart, of course, is re-
sponsible for this. Other authorities, in
despair, describe the situation as the
most critical known In France since
1870 the year of the war with Germany.
The fault is all laid at the door of the
government, because of its alleged
weakness" and that is what makes
the situation even more serious.

The alliance in congressional districts
achieved in certain western states by
democrats, populists and silver republi-
cans sets an example for the country
but Mr.. Bryan is evidently fearful that
1t may not be so generally followed by
the silver forces as to encourage hope of
his success at the polls in 1900. AT any
rate, he has been writing another letter
to the press, this time to urge the con
solidation of all silver parties, to argue
the hopelessness of division, and the GER
tainty of success with union. This CON
solidation is what is most to be feared
and what is not unlikely to be realized
despite the protest of Senator Morgan OF
Alabama. Meanwhile, what are the
sound money forces doing? They are
frittering away their time in doubt and
misgivings, and scattering their ener-
gies in protest. argument and disagree
ment among themselves. Here is Con-
gresham Boutell of Chicago, renomin-
ated on a bold gold standard platform;
Chauncey M. Depew, calling for the for
NAL abandonment of bimetallism as a
party principle; Congressman Walker
declaring that 1,00O 600 Of the republican
voters who supported Mckinley earnest
ly desire the free coinage of silver, and
must somehow be kept within the party
because McKinley's pluarlity over Bry-
an was only 5000 and therefore the
Walker banking bill should be adopted,
because, among other reasons, it avoids
antagonizing prejudices. At the same
time, there is a coterie demanding the
most radical overhauling of the cur
rency, and the prospect of agreement
upon any measure of actual utility, such
as seems required to retain the support
of the, sound money voters outside of
the party, is far from bright. With all
this discord to prevent concentration of
sound money forces, what are the
chances of success, either next fall or in
1900? And yet it may be doubted if the
outlook is so black as it is painted. At
all events, we do not see how it is to be
improved by obscuring the issue, or by
any conceivable concession that can be
made to the silver forces The issue has
been pretty well reduced TO choice be-
tween silver monometallism and gold
monometallism, and there isn't much
use in attempting to disguise the fact

The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott's denum-
citation of yellow journalism was suffi-
ciently explicit and to the point. He
said; 'FWe cannot feed children on vel
low-covered stories and newspapers and
not kindle a taste which will demand
tragedy in actual life; and, falling to
get it, will create it, He declared there
ought to be such a public sentiment in
America that no man would be seen
with such a paper in his hands. Some
times the yellow journals report Dr..
Abbott's sermons and sometimes they
do not. On this occasion they did not.

Treasury conditions for the past week
have been more encouraging than in
any previous period since the Dingley
tariff went into effect The customs
receipts for the single week were
$4, 155700, which is the largest return
from customs in any previous week for
nearly year The customs receipts
for the first, half of the month were in
excess of 81, $4,000, and the total from
all sources amounted to $13,311, 1874. The
indications are for a tariff revenue of
some $15,OOO,oOO. and of $2S 900, 900 from
all sources for the month. The expendi-
lures have already exceeded $22. SOC, GOO,
but more than $1,000 900 of this has gone
for the Kansas Pacific mortgage, be-
sides $7095,O00 for pensions and
$1,S00,000 for interest on the pubic debt.
Meanwhile the gold reserve has climbed
another million notch and is now about
$166, 100000. General business conditions,
too, have improved. The operations in
the stock market involved three times
as many shares last week as in tine
corresponding week of last, year, and
railway earnings for January represent
an increase of 16. per cent over those of
January, 1897. Poor New England is

Some way should be found to muzzle
the Rev. Thomas Dixon, who addresses
a congregation every Sunday in the
New York Academy of Music. He is
one of the most pestiferous jingoes In
the country. Here is a report of some
of his remarks concerning De Lome's
letter, made at his last meeting for the
worship and glory of God and the saliva.
tion of men:
''Lest it be said that L have spoken in
bitterness and hastily, and lest my
words be made other than they are, .
Mr. Dixon said, 81 have written delib-
erately what I wish to say" He then
read from his manuscript:
Spain has lost an invaluable servant
at Washington in the person of Mr., De
LONE. He was a colossal and master
ful liar, most artistic and convincing
hypocrite, and he knew, above all, how
to play fast and loose with the puny
managers of our foreign affairs
The audience cheered Justify and there
were shouts of 'Kick De LONE outv'
Lets f1ghtp' and "Give it to him" from
every part Of the house.
When a government gets down as
low in the mire. as ours has in the last
TWO years, 1t is pretty hard to kick it
hard enough to make an insult felt.
The responsibility is clearly fixed on
the party. We are sick of the whine of
stock jobbers and pedlers, who tell us
through their pusillanimous press that
we are not prepared for war with
Spanish braggarts, who, unable to CON
quer handful of Cubans, show their
prowess by penning up women and chill
dren and starving them to death"
But this was not the only offense of
the Rev. Thomas Dixon. There were
other matters demanding his attention.
Therefore he took up the Lattimer case
and proceeded as judge and jury to
convict Sheriff Martin and his deputies
and award their punishment. Here was
an act that, had it been committed with
in the limits Of the state of Pennsylva-
mia, might have been classed as con-
tempt of court. The Rev. Thomas Dixon

ment" Hereafter at each of the meet
ings DR.. Conrad will give a review Of
some important theological or religious
work, beginning next month with Mott S
Strategic Points in the Worlds Con-
quests" In this way he hopes to bring
the members, who are busy men with
out the time to devote to such reading
in touch with much in the literature of
the Bible and the Christian church.
Dr. Conrad is to have a series of Len
ten readings in the Old South lecture
room, one evening a week during Lent
II is his purpose,to read aloud for three
quarters of an hour, with running COM
ment on the text, the object being to
take a book that is strong and sug-
gestive-one, perhaps, that most people
might not care about reading to them
selves-and to make it the means of
pleasantly intellectual and spiritual
hour. Such a scheme has been tried in
New York with marked success.
During Passion week there will be
special services every night, in which
