BERLIN, June 1.-THE London corre-

says:
''The idea of having the United States
mediate between Great Britain and the
Transvaal is being favorably discussed in
quietness in all important commercial cir

no power stands so close to Great Britain
as the United States, while at the same
time the republican form of government
prevailing in the United States would
make it peculiarly acceptable to the

"It Is pointed out that the prominent
social and independent position occupied

Dutch in the East Of the Union would
be regarded by the Beers as factor rec

was determined by majority of the
committee on judiciary, in the SEN
ate in those sessions. that the charter
pi ovisions were contracts, the same as
determined on the Jacobson by such
majority. But the minority Of the ju-
dietary committee of those two sessions
determined that they were not contracts,
Or more accurately speaking that the
SUCCESSORS to the old landgran roads
had not acquired the rights OF the orig
ii'al roads, but were taxed. under laws
subsequent to the constitution OF 1885,
and therefore the laws could be amended
Or appealed by proper legislation to that
effect"
And here it is we'll to leave Senator
Young and the colleagues who have de-
stroyed this measure and delayed the
reform for six years, and at the same
time thrust it up as burning reform
issue, basking in the new rciulgent
light which they have found, changing
their former views. The repor, in the
Anderson bill which Mr.. Merrill refers
to, is on file in house documents of the
legislature OF 1895. 1t bears the name
Of Senator Young, among others. and
found:
First-The gross earnings laws are not
contracts which cannot be changed. be-
cause the taxing power is sovereign, and
cannot be parted with except when it
appears in the grant. There is no ele-
ment OF contract in the gross earnings
law And there could not be because the
constitution prohibits contracts as to
taxes.
Second-If not contracts they may be
recommended by submission OF vote OF
the people
Third-Changing the law would have
no effect OF releasing the railroads from
paying the tax. If the laws are amended
they are just as valid as they were be-
fore; hence this bill cannot in any way
affect the validity of such laws.
1t is in the face OF such self-s,ultihca-
ton as this, on the part OF leaders Of the
Republican party, who have stit1cd the
wishes OF the people and delayed justice,
that the taxation reform issue will go
before the people.
Perhaps as expressive an opinion on
the effect of the Republican slaughter Of
the gross earnings tax, as any OF the
many ahoat, is that of Judge Abbott,
the Republican whcelhorse of Farlbault,
who simply said: The devil will be to
pay" csc.

New Irish Stories.

The following gems are from Irish
Life and Character, by Michael Mac
donagh:
Bad luck to them Afraydecs," said a
Dublin carman the other day when an
officer handed him a shilling after driv,
ing from Richmond barracks to the Kill
dare Street Club "Why?" asked the
officer. Sure they've killed all the gen.
tlcmen that was in the army" The Off
Ger was SO pleased with the yelled insult
that he doubled the fare.
An old gentleman was begged by his
nephew to give up whisky, as the alb
stention could undoubtedly lengthen his
days. The uncle wrote back: "My dear
boy, tried your advice for one day,
and, upon my soul, you're right; it was
the longest day ever put in

the wrongs of their country?' asked

The Confessional.

Why does the world hate the con-
fessional? will tell you in a word Be
cause the men OF the world arc afraid
of laying their hearts open. They know
that there are black spots, that there are
dark stains, deep wounds. old scars
onen sores, and they hide them i'll dark
ness. The innocent have no fear. for
their hearts are unspotted, and though
conscious OF many faults and many
weaknesses. they are free from the stains
and the wounds OF an evil life. They arc
not afraid; to them confession is easy
But those who are conscious that they
are carrying within them secret which
the world does not know, OF which their
neighbors are not aware, which the
nearest to them does not suspect. which
they would rather die than reveal-ac-
cording to the shrinking OF flesh and
blood. forgetting all the while that God
knows cverything-they fear and hate
the thought OF confession. This is the
true reason why the world rails against
confession; this is the reason why eve
ry revolution that breaks out at once
burns the confessional 1t dare not
come near the confessional. When it
sees confessional it sees a forerunning
witness OF the Great White Throne and
OF the Day OF Judgment, and to get rid
of this intolerablc reality the anticfris-
tian revolution tears it out OF the church
and burns it in the street They who
have kept their baptismal grace have no
fear OF the confessional. Why should
they? What have they got to say? A
great many omissions. a great many
infirmities, a great many faults and a
great many temptations. it may be. but
no habits of INDUCED sin: there are no
stains of deliberate acts. none OF those
deep and soaring recollcctions OF an
evil life. Therefore they come readily
and like children, as they spiritually
are They say at once. kneeling under
the crucifix in the confessional as far
as they know. all that their Heavenly
Father has against them. 1t is because
men break Gods law in their hearts
that they fear to confess Therefore
they put off their confession until it be-
comes hard; for if they put it off, they
begin to be careless, and they lay up
new matter, and that matter multiplics;
and the longer they put it off the more
unwilling they grow. But those who
are still in their baptismal innocence
go on continually from light to light;
they go Oh knowing themselves more
and more perfectly every time they
come to confession. bringing with them
no necessary matter Of dissolution, be-
cause no mortal sin. which does not
break their friendship with God. for
such sins come from infrmity and not
from deliberation, or, at least, not from
malice. And they are pardoned freely
by the precious blood Of our Divine
Lord in their perfect absolution.-Car-
dinal Manning.
