A FRENCH COURT DECISION.

Very curious things continue TO hap
pen In France. 4 French court OF APP
peala has lately decided that perlodl-
cal which prints n critical review OF an
authors work Is bound to publish the
authors reply TO the critics structures.
This decision seems TO put the French
press at the mercy OF authors who can.
II they choose, take up most OF the
space In the reviews by their answers.
The most obvious remedy would be to
stop reviewing the books OF all authors
who are inclined to talk back, and that
Is feasible enough. though II might
cause embarrassment TO literary Jour
nails. Successful and well-pHld authors,
II may be observed. are rarely willing
TO spend their time refutlng critics. II

whose time Is not valuable. who would

the whole nation. He says that a Boer
killed an English woman on the high
way, seeking TO imply that the Beers do
not respect women. The Hollanders
and their kin. the Beers. are noted for
their kind treatment OF their wives and

home life. They are hardy set, but
affectlonate and chivnlrous.

lions.
Among these allegations is the one
which claims that President krugers
fortune owes Its origin to the Trans
vaal monopolles. The accusation IL n
ridiculous one. All concessions to the
monopolies were given by the Nolks-
raad. President Kruger has nothing to
do with them. Whatever revenue was
imposed by the Volksraad went into the
public treasury. The chief executive Of
the TransvAal Republic is scrupuously
honest. And his popularity with the
Dutch In South Africa Is mainly due to
this most excellent virtue.
IAN kruger's fortune was made by
farming. From a small beginning he
evolved into a wealthy land owner. He

were made by the renting out and SELL
