1 THE CASE OF FREDERIC.

Harold Frederic, the well-known
correspondent, novelist and all around
writer. who died in England not long
ago, expired while under treatment by
Christian Scientists. They refused to
permit physicias1s5 to ttGG see him and even
official interference was resented. They
attempted to pray the sick man into
the faith that he would recover. Tt
was a dismal failure.
An official inquest was held and the
story is that the finding will lead to
the Indictment of two women, who had
F'rederic's case in charge. for the crime
of manslaughter- That was the YER
dict of the jury of inquest and it was
not rendered until a very searching and
deliberate inquiry into the case had
been made.
If the defendants are proceeded
against the case will excite intense in
terest the world over Under English
law the fact that the sick man desired
to be treated as he was makes ne diff
ference, since the English courts hold
that one has not the right to squander
his life or to act in a suicidal manner.
But how far can that doctrine be safe
" carried? who is to decide that a

No one ever before this day has look
ed upon the OK as a real factor in
economy. But down in the cotton fields
of the South the thrifty landlord has
discovered the OK to be his best aid,
in one respect, in conserving economy
among his tenants. Land is now rent
ed to colored cotton growers for that
purpose upon the express stipulation
that the lessee shall use upon the prem
ises and in connection with the BUSH
ness of the farm, oxen only as beasts
of burden and toll. The result is that
the negro worker can till with oxen all
the land he can handle and just as well
as with mules. But he cannot ride the
OK to town to squander money or loaf
away time. He cannot walk to tow-l,
as usually the distance is too great. He,
therefore, depends upon common car
riers, is satisfied with very infrequent
trips to the corner cross roads bar, or.
the village or market town. Dissipa-
tion disappears, and the desire to ''gad
about is lost. Frugality and content
with home result, and at the end Of the
crop season the tenant has money
enough to pay his rent and a. few store
debts to pay, and a handsome balance
to lay by. The philosophic land owner
has, therefore, pinned his faith to the
OK as an economic factor, and he de-
clares that the system works well.

are apt to Overlook the circumstance that,
although 1t is associated so often with

The Presbyterian General Assembly is to
be congratulated on having escaped the
folly of adopting a remonstrance to the
President against allowing any fighting on
Sunday. No doubt, from the point of view
of the good people who advocated the reso-
luton, their motives were worthy of re-
spect, but from a practical point of view
the action would have been very foolish
There are many human duties and voca-
tons which do not permit a conventional
observance of the Sabbath, even as a day
of rest, much less as one of spiritual exer-
cises, and this is truer of war than of any
other human employment. Not to speak of
the responsible duty to the Nation involved
in vigorous prosecution of war, it is a
mercy to those engaged in it and real
saving of life to make it as short as posi-
BILE. The enforced observance of Sunday
even as a dav of rest, would be a distinct
departure from this idea, and would often
involve serious disaster. AS many decisive
events in war have occurred on Sunday as
on any other day of the week, and not to
have pressed them to conclusion on that
day would have been the height of folly
The surrender of Lee at Appomattox took
place on Sunday, as did many other impor-
tant events of the war. The recent destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet at Manila occurred
on Sunday. In both cases the emergency
was such that the work had to be done on
Sunday, and therefore it was rightly done

General Grosvenor and Mr.. Dockery. rep
resenting both parties, have notified Mr.
Cannon, chairman of the committee on ap-
preparations, that they will oppose any ap-
preparation for the Paris Exposition in
1900. This is due to the hostile attitude of
the French press to the people of the
United States. Several prominent Paris
journals have discovered that it is bad pol
icy for the newspapers to assail the Ameri-
can people, for the reason that such hos
tility will cut into the trade of France with
the United States, which is very valuable.
This country is the most liberal purchaser
of the ffnery of Paris, while American tour
lists spend millions year in that city.
These visitors and the American trade are
really more important to real estate own
ers, tradesmen and clearinghouse keepers
than Spanish bonds. 1t is reported that the
spring and summer trade of Paris has been
most seriously affected by the absence of
American customers.
