SOME coon ADVICE.

Ex-senator Washburn, Of Minnesota,
ness and politics. He is also a. good
Republican. He can't fairly be ac,
cused of ignorance demagogy or
Democracy when he talks about trusts
as he does in the New York Tribune,
and what he says is therefore entitled
to solemn consideration. When Mr.
Washburn was in the Senate he voted
for a heavy duty on imported tinplate.
in order that the industry might be
established in the United States Now,
he declares. those duties are being used
to put prices up, and the only way IN
which the consumer can be relieved
from the extortions Of the tinplate trust
is to withdraw the duties. Mr.. Wash
burn is interested in the steel industry,
but he realizes that it receives protec-
ton from the government to which It
is not entitled, and which enables the
steel trust to demand enormous profits
for its product. "A year and a half
ago." says Mr.. Washburn, steel rails
of fair quality We're sold at SIT a ton, at
a profit, perhaps of $3.50 ton AS a
result Of trust manipulation rails now
sell at $50 ton, and the profit is eX-
orbltant We can make steel rails at a
fair profit cheaper than anywhere else
in the world, and the present price is
outrageous" Mr.. Washburn says he
speaks from the standpoint of devoted
Republican, whose only motive is the
good Of the country. "The Republican
party" in his opinion, has got to put
forth its full strength against trusts
and legislate against them. The feeling
against the trust idea is so intense that
the party will break ranks unless some
thing is done. The undertow of senti-
rlent in the western Republican States
is not understood in the East. The
revolt may strike US as early as next
year.
The Republican party will get worse
advice than that given by Mr.. Wash
burn, and the indications now are that
it will take it.

NICE FORK.

man who tried to save her without hav-

| the proprieties to the last, and nobly
| died in good cause. 1t is perhaps a
little too much to expect that her glo-
rious example will be followed by many
member of the other sex who has fine
ness of feeling and strength of will
enough to follow it. But it is very en-
couraging to notice that there Is here
and there woman who is not willing
to bow the knee to anything that is low
or common. There is such a woman in
Kansas, in Emporia, Kansas. Emporia,
Kansas, is perhaps not a place where
one would look for a woman who would
there is a woman there who would
adorn either place She is Mrs. Sarah
Yeager and she is as good as she is re-
fined and proper. Her feelings have
been stirred by reports of the sad con-
dition Of the heather in this land and in
other lands, and she has been impressed
with the idea that the Methodist Mis-
sionary Society Is doing good work for
heather. She wanted to give the soci-
ETY. five dollars, but she found herself
confronted with an obstacle She had
never been introduced to the Methodist
minister at Emporia and she felt that
she couldn't lower herself by handing
the money to a minister she hadn't
met" So she sent the five dollars in
an elegant little letter to Governor
Stanley. asking him to give it to the
Missionary Society
Nice work, as they say on the base
ball field. We hope and believe that
when this good woman goes to Heaven
she will be properly introduced
Heaven will not be much to her unless
she is.

| To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The article Of Judge Baldwin, which
is just now evoking much interest
among the reading public, concerning
the right Of physicians. under certain
conditions, to destroy life as also the
right person has to end his own exist.
ence, is rather misleading, to say the
least His broad statement might prove
disastrous in many cases. especially 10
| those of weak mental calibre, who are
| not really responsible for their acts; or
to those who having suffered great
| physical pain, are incapable Of judging
| for themselves or to the poor unfortu-
mates who are afflicted with suicidal
mania.
II Is most fortunate, however, that
our leading physicians are not in sym
pathy with Judge Baldwin's very radi-
cal doctrine. In my opinion, it Is only
the seeker after notoriety who will en-
dorse it.
1t is all very well in theory to allay
suffering in a protracted death strug
gle by Fastening the end, but how Is
one TO determine If 1t be indeed death :?
Medical science Is often unable to dag
nose disease. The most skillful physi-
clan is not infallible, and may be mis-
taken in judgment. We have all known
instances where a patient has been CIV
en- up to die, and yet he has recovered
in some miraculous way. Who then is
able to judge?
| doubt IL any one of us would be
stoical enough to accept unquestion-
ingly and without demur the verdict of
a physician on our speedy dissolution,
although the entire medical staff sane
toned that verdict.
Life Is sweet even TO the most wretch
ed. True, we have dark days and sea-
sons of great mental depression, when
all the world seems out of joint, but
thanks to Pandora there is always q
blessed hope, and we know that some
where behind the clouds and encircling
gloom there is light and peace Shall
we then, losing all faith in our future,
accept without question the judgment
of men as ephemeral as ourselves?
We enter life with no volition of our
own. Surely we should trust the AL
mighty Maker Of the universe as to the
time and manner of our exit r. r.

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier
The storm Of indignation that has
broken out over the civilized world at
the decision in the Dreyfus case is per-
haps a healthy sign. Righteous indig-
nation over the sins OF other people
cannot really be considered as an I'M
sound state of mind. Yet in such stir
ring times it is often well to remember
our own shortcomings. The trial and
conviction of Mrs. Suratt is still remem-
bered as black page in American jul
risprudence. There are many people
who think that public excitement con-
victed and hanged in Guiteau, a mani
festiy insane man, and certainly no foul
err, blacker and more cruelty unjust de-
cision was ever given in human history
than was rendered by the supreme
court of the United States in the bred
Scott case, wherein it held that a negro
had no rights which a white man was
bound to respect. In its effrontery of
injustice it is certainly equal to the
Dreyfus case. The English journals
which are now Mortified over Dreyfus
conviction, have forgotten how a few
months ago they made hero of Cecil
Rhoades, and that their government is
now against all law and right interfer-
ing in the private affairs of the Trans
yaal.
1t will not due to jump to the conclu-
sion that single act of public injus-
tice is proof that a nation is without
honor or virtue A.
