Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown, and while Gov Lind has no
crown of gilt or tinsel attaching TO his
executive office, yet he has troubles Nor

isn't 1t? The governor was invited to
participate In little celebration in Min

celebration of what they called the sun
Set OF the nineteenth century. Without
engaging In any astronomical tits with
them as to whether the sunset of the
century had begun now or not till next
indian summer, the governor accepted
the invitation, out Of good fellowship. and
hied himself to Minneapolis. There are
quite a few Swedish and other Scandi-
navian churches on Seventh street south.
Indeed, from Eighth avenue to Four
teenth avenue south they average not
less than one to city block on that
street.
NOW this celebration which the gov
ernor was going to attend was held at
Augustana church, but the governor got
1t into his head that the exercises were
at the Swedish Mission tabernacle. So
as they We're on the same street 1t was
not hard for him to get into the wrong
church, as he did. But friends recog-
n1zed him as he came in, and he was
given a seat of honor. A prayer was
in progress, and the exercises continued
without further interruption, following
the governors entrance, and shortly he
began TO wonder when the speech which
he had promised to make would be called
for. Time kept on elapsing, as it Is wont
to do, except when you are watching
the hands OF the depot clock at a way
station, and the operator Is polishing
Dull s-eye lanterns in the freight shed.
and at last the governor inquired of some
one near him about when he would get
chance to open up. Explanations were
in order, and his excellency then repaired
to the other church, where an impatient
but soon well pleased crowd was soon re-
called with the gubernator1al compliments
to the centuryS sunset, and an explana-
ton of why he was late.
Talking about churches, J. Adam Bede
has troubles, too. One of them he told

A CRIME AGAINST THE CHsLDRE,

A CRIME AGAINST THE CHILDREN.
Take 225 boys from the slums; pack
them into a ramshackle building divided
into a chapel, several small dormitories
and a one-corridoI cell house; compel
them to sleep in cots placed so closely
together that there is barely space to
stand between each bed; deprive them Of
outdoor life altogether; divide their
time into nine hours for sleeping, five
hours for schooling, one hour for meals
and nine hours idleness, and place over
them two male guards to preserve order
and then figure on the result
Such is the actual condition at the John
Worth school, an alleged reformatory in
stitution for boys i'll Chicago. In fact for
two days in the week, Saturday and sun
day, the condition Of the unhappy young
inmates is worse than above stated, for
they have nothing to occupy their minds
or their hands except two hours drill on
Saturday and religious services on Sun
day.
This Is the most outrageous and dis
tressing state of affairs ever made public.

REORGANIZATION OF TRUSTS.

The tin plate trust is 20 be reorgarized

since the trust was formed. The ability
Of trust to absorb new concerns must,
as the G b pointed out two weeks
ago, be limited, and point will inevitably
be reached when it will be financially i'm
possible for trust 20 continue to buy up
Independent opponents. Two years ago
tin plate was $2.25 box, and today 1t is
$3.50, sc that in arbitrarily advancing
prices the trust furnished the encourage
ment for Independent concerns to start
up. The creation of competition by such
methods as these pursued by trusts Is
inevitable, and probably the true solution
of the trust evil will be found in this
law Of trade, and if the trusts are given
rope enough they will hang themselves
unless Republican congress Iengthens
their tetner by further indiscrees legis-
latiOn.

Those Spanish Possessions

Thanks to some wholly unnecessary
and if it must be said, rather stupid
Obscurity in the wording Of the treaty
under which Spain ceded the Philip
pines to the United States, there is
just the shadow of foundation that
three of the islands we're not included
in the transfer, still belong to Spain,
and can be made the basis of negotia-
tions with the rebels-or others. Arti.
Gle III, of the treaty begins Spain
cedes to the United States the archi-
pelago known as the Philippine
Islands"
This shows plainly enough that
Spain intended to give and we to
take the entire group-a group con-
corning the position and extent of
which there is nowhere any doubt OF
dispute. But the Commissioners were
not content to let we'll enough alone
and in the effort to be very definite
they fell into an error, of no practi.
cal Importance, indeed, and yet a pos.
sible opening for a lot of futile quib.
bling. To the words quoted above
they added "Including the islands
lying within the following line, - and
the northern boundary they de
scribed as "a line running from west
to east along or near the twentieth
parallel of latitude and through the
middle of the navigable channel of
Bashi."
Now, the channel of Bashi is the
natural division between the islets to
the south Of FormOso and those to
the north OF Luzon, and is undoubt-
edly the limit of our possessions in
that direction, but the centre of it is
somewhere between the twenty-frst
and twenty-second parallels and not
"along or near" the twentieth. OF
the islands mentione5.hy Count d'Al-
menas in the speech which is said to
have caused a sensation in the Span
ish Senate, Calayan is south Of the
twentieth parallel and the two Batans
are north of it, but all of them to-

and Babuyan groups, are south of. the
Bashi Channel.
Under Spain they formed a provin-
cial government Of the second class
and supported a "a, 900 Governor and
half a dozen minor officials. The
claim that they still belong to Spain
might be set up by a "politicastro, "
but the fundamental principles of

nance impossible.

Isolated PeopIe of the Enrtb.

The people who live in the northern
portion of the peninsula of Kamchatka
are probably the most isolated in the
world. The people have practically nc
communication with others than theiI
own tribe, being seldom visited by
travellers.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
islands are also detached people. for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once a year even If the
weather is favorable.
The pygmies Of the great central Af.
rican forests, If they can be called a
tribe have also been a people apart.
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary, and only two ex-
petitions commanded by white men
have ever penetrated into their abode.
