"Trafic I'm Souls" constitutes the theme Of the
masterpiece of the famous Russian author and
dramaist Gogol, and was written with the ex-
press object OF satrizng some Of the features OF
that serfdom which formerly prevailed in the
dominiOns Of the Cara condition of slavery
such that the rights OF the lords of the soil
over their peasantry may be said to have begun
even before the birth of the latter and to have
extended beyond their death. Gogors works
have been translated into English. and have
been published both sides of the Atlantic
The traffic in souls which he so satirically de-
scribes has always been regarded as possible
only in so benighted and backward country
as Russia
And yet n traffic in souls exists at the present
moment in Great Britain. where it has survived
from the days Of the Reformation, and this ex-
traordinary condition of affairs has just been
brought home 10 the English people with par
ticular force by the announcement that among
the assets of the bankrupt company promoter
HooIey is the patronage or advowson OF
church living, that is TO say. the right Of nomi-
mating and appointing the rector Of the impor
tant parish of Rsley, IN Derbyshire. To make
matters worse, it has been discovered that Mr..
Hooley purchased this advowsOn from the
bishop of the diocese for sum Of about $1,000

the principal industrial counties OF Northern

who offers the largest sum for it-possibly some
retired gambler. or 1 bookmaker who has made
his pile at the races, and who is in search of re-
spectability.
There arc at the present moment some twelve
thousand parishes benefices OF the State
Church in the United Kingdom, and of these
probably three-quarters are in the hands OF
individuals who are perfectly free to use them
as articles OF barter and sale. while the re-
ulainder are vested in the hands OF the Crown,
the universities and the episcopate. The origin
Of this condition Of affairs may be traced to
the understanding which has existed ever since
the days Of King Henry VIII, and which re-
mains in force to these present times. that

pastor in perpetuity. This right at first de-
seconded to the heirs OF the founder Of the

sured the committee that waited upon
him this afternoon that he would open
the mill gates next Monday and while
he could make no promises in regard to
advancing their wages he would do SO
when conditions OF the cotton market
warranted such action. A largely at
tended meeting of the textile workers,
who until Wednesday were in favor 1
prolonging the struggle, was held IN
Marble hall this afternoon. Speech es
were made in both French and English,
some speakers being opposed to going
back to work under cut down. while 9TH
ers expressed the opinion that it would
be useless to continue the struggle long
er and that the only thing to do was to
return to work At the conclusion Ct
the speaking q ballot was taken and re-
suited in a vote of 1911 to 1856 in favor Of
going back to work. The result was
hailed with cheers and cries of: "We
made gallant fight, but could not beat

On motion of Secretary King. the vote
was made unanimous. The business men
are happy tonight over the result of the
meeting and hope it will be many day

represents the insurgents will assist the
Spaniards in keeping the United States
out of the island.
Obviously its interest in the cause OF
humanity has been largely pretence,
else it would welcome any interference
that would stop the war and put an end
to the atrocities, and furnish what as
sistance it could. The junta evidently
cares much more for the recognition of
itself and the government which 1t has
set up in Cuba than for humanity. and
now that it has shown that it is con-
trolled solely by self interests its wishes
ought not to be needed, or It's suggestions
given any attention.
If the United States intervenes in Cuba
on the ground of humanity, and to bring
peace to the distracted island, it will not
have accomplished all that it is pledged to
accomplish when it has driven the Span
iards from the island. Anarchy among
the Cub "ns will create situation just
as insufferabIe as the present conflict be-
tween the Spaniards and Cubans. we
shall be under the strongest kind OF
moral obligation to see that he lneih-
Gent government that we propose to
sweep away is not succeeded by one
equally inefficient. We take up arms
to restore peace to the island. We must
restore it and see that it is made perma
nent or we cannot vindicate our interior
ence before the world. The logic of the
situation is that we must supervise
the creation of new govern
ment, SEQ that it is founded
on principles OF justice. take care that 1t
is not a machine for wreaking vengeance
and gratifying the passions of the men
who compose it or are behind it. With
our slight knowledge OF the character and
capabilities of the government that the
! insurgents have set up, especially after
the declaration of the junta, it would be
| folly to commit ourselves to it in advance
as we practically should do by recogniz'
| ing it. We are undertaking to give free
dom and independence to the Cubans, and
ensure to them permanent peace. Oui
task will by no means be completed when
we have driven out the Spaniards. The
most difficult part of it may still be be
fore us, and we should not handicap our
selves for its performance by premature
recognition of this or that faction.

with his horse and oxen. The work in
cludes haying, hauling wood, ploughing,
etc, and covers the years from 1888 to the
middle OF 1896. The defendant claims
that he dosen't owe the plaintiff anything
because there was an exchange of work,
he doing for the plaintiff as much work
as the plaintiff did for him. He says that
this had always been the understanding

for time, for when the Spanish navy is

is wrested from Spain's grasp the tickle
