EVILS OF 0VERSTUDY.

The protest of some medical men
against the excessive amount OF study
demanded of the children III the pub
Tic schools, seems to be we'll founded,
says the Providence journal. The
school hours are sufficiently long for
growing boys and girls, who need
plenty of outdoor air and exercise tol
the preservation of their health. But
much work is supposed to be done al
home; every evening there are lessons
to be learned for the morrow.
Possibly, under the existing system
that is in measure inevlta BILE. Ru
surely good education ought to b'
acquired between the ages of SIX ant

A BRILLIANT THIRD HOUSE.

The third house of congress this win
ter promises to be not only strong i'll
numbers but brilliant in personnel and
lavish with entertainments.
Many important measures will be up
for consideration. Concessions will be
sought in our new-acquired territory by
franchise hunters. The kind of govern
ment to be erected in the Philippines
will be the object of many Spectator,
backed by millions of capital The
trusts Will all be there, represented by
the best brains the country affords.
Money will flow with strong and steady
current, and virtuous indeed will be the
congressman who passes through the or
deal unscathed. He may scorn bribe,
but human nature bends to diplomatic
influence. Women, wine and song have
their charms
Chief among the contending interests
in which the third house will be concern
ed are the Panama and Nicaragua ca
mails. Here will be fight royal. The
Panama interests will make an heroic
effort to defeat the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill which is now pending in the
senate. The canal commission, which
was appointed at the last session to de-
termine the relativ merits of the two
routes will report in favor of the Mica
raguan survey. Senior Luis Correa is in
Washington, armed with powers to make
whatever concessions are necessary to
speedy adjustment of the project. The
cost of the Nicaraguan canal will be
small compared to that the Panama
proposition, in which hundreds of mil
lions have already been sunk. The latter
is now about two-fifths completed This
great work will be rendered useless. and
the money spent lost, should the other
canal be built. Fearing this situation the
Panama company is willing to make a
fight for the defeat of the Nicaragua
scheme. The fight will be Interesting, as
millions are at stake

The partition of China among the
powers is far from an impossibility.
With consummate diplomacy Russia and
Germany have secured the virtual con-
sent of Great Britain to their territorial

their opposition to a division of the en-

used every effort to block the game

the express stipulation of the agreement

necessity or even a luxury then is tho
time for the law to step in, declare the
trust to be against public policy and
abate 1t.
The good sense Of the people, backed
by laws based upon common justice will
right this wrong. If a constitutional
amendment will add any power to the
federal government, whereby it can bet
ter cope with the forces of combined
capital, let us have constitutional
amendment as soon as it cen be secured.
Valuable time, however, has already been
lost in chasing this ignis fatuus, whether
for political or other reasons it matters
not. The time has come to act.
The power that compels one railroad
rival for the benefit of the public; the
power that declared an exclusive fran
chise void because opposed to public in
terests, can deal abundantly with a COM
bination which has for it's object the
absolute control of a necessity of life.
How will these trusts be reached? By
a special proceedings in a court of law
The eXistance Of a monopoHstic trust is
a matter of legal proof. When the facts
are established, the remedy is within the
province of adequate laws, for the enact

AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.

There is no wrong. without a remedy.
This maxim of the common law may
need revision to suit the changed condi-
tions of society But as we still live
under the reign of the common law
1t ought to be if it isn't Its
truth of falsity will be tested in deal
ing with the trust problem in con-
gress this winter. That the combina-
ton of capital for the arbitrary forcing
up Of prices is. a wrong, no one denies.
That there will be an effort made to right
this wrong during the next session Of
| congress seems now reasonably certain
Whether these efforts will terminate in
the enactment Of law that will meet
the eXigencies of the situation is doubt
full
large number of politicians have alb
| sorbed the idea that some new power,
to be secured by a constitutional amend
ment, must be forthcoming before these
monsters can be tackled with any show
of success.
That any well informed constitutional
lawyer believes this. necessary we very
much question. The power to. enact laws
to regulate evils that affect the general
public is inherent in the people and finds
its means of expression through congress
and the courts
Under the theory that the exclusive
possession of certain property by private
individuals is against public policy, the
courts seize it either for public or quasi
public use. Eminent domain, is the ex-
preston used to denote this power of the
government over the property of indi-
viduaIs. In we'll written opinion Jus
tice Brewer held that exclusive fran
chises granted to a street car company
were in the nature of a monopoly
against public policy-and therefore void.
1t is on this principle of eminent domain
| of public poHcy-that the government
must deal with the trusts
Combinations of capital, for legitimate
enterprises are lawful, in fact beneficial.
Without such combinations the vast en-
terprises which have developed this coun-
try could not have been carried to sue
cessful examinations. But when this com-
| bination has for it's prime object the

was looking steadily in another direction
than that of politics for the concrete
expression of national sentiment Irish
literature engaged the thought Of the
younger men, while Industrial develop
ment held the thought of many elements
of society which had before concerned
themselves actively in the political move
ment. Everywhere the thought was find
ing expression that the country
had had enough of politics The change
which the elections produced on the face
of events promises to result in the re-
establishment of the home rule agitation,
and the appearance once more in the
English parliament of band of men
singly devoted to the realiza ton of the
chief political end of the Irish political
sentiment
The programme outlined at the outset
by the United Irish League will be fol-
lowed no more exclusively than was the
agrarian features of the Land League
movement. Non-intercourse with Eng
lish political parties will probably
be the chief principle of the new or
ganization in parliament as it was in the
days of Parnell's ascendency; and the
Irish question will again hold the at
tention OF English statesmen in spite of
themselves. Whatever may be the ulti-
mate outcome of the home rule demand,
there is a great deal to sustain the wis
dom Of the union which will probably
prove very effective for future political
and material greatness. The flower of
the youth of Ireland has been fleeing
from the land for the past ten years
as during the preceding forty. The re-
fusal to listen to the political demands
of the people has been attended by a
fatuous disregard of the substantial in
terests of the country and its people.
With e1000CO,COO available to prosecute a
war in South Africa, there has been moth
ing todevote TO the Iessening Of Irish
discomfort or to the promotion OF Irish
industry in any direction. There is a
profound gratitude shown by English
people toward the Irish officers and SOL
diers for their vaIor in South Africa;
but not a thought for the Irish tenant
farmer, the Irish cotter, the Irish ar
tisan or the Irish Iaborer in his own land,
surrounded on all sides as he is by evil
dences of national poverty and decad-
ence.

ORIGIN OF THE MORBID.

why do newspapers publish the de-
'dIiS OF crimes, full accounts Of the
trials of murderers with pictures Of the
ehastly scenes as well as of the prin-
clpals In the tragedies? Why do they
PRINT pen pictures Of the condemned man
IN his last hours and detail the incidents
Of the execution?
Inc public demands this kind of mate
rial or 1T would not be published. That
which Is not wanted by the reading
public is seldom sought by the pub
Usher.
IL Is the brute instinct in human nature
that asserts itself in such matters. It
likes to read about a prize fight with
all the sickentng details; it enjoys the
description Of a brutal football game, or
the account of a mob visiting speedy
judgment on supposed criminal. This
feeling Is not confined to the few 1t is
We'll night universal. Refined, delicate
ladies' hang over the horrible details of
crime or the accounts of legalized brutal
1ty with the sang froid which character
ICES the hardened sport. In the Latin
countries this feeling vents itself at bull
hghts; in Germany it seeks an outlet
through the duel with swords and the
young man who can show the ugliest
Scars is the greatest hero, no matter how
the scars were obtained.
The love of the gruesome and the
physically horrible we must have in
herited from our carnivorous ancestors,
1t has manifested itself in wars for CEN
turtles, wars without cause-wars inau-
Surated for the sole purpose of pillage
and blood. 1t has manifested Itself in the
fortunes of the inquisition, in the whip
ping post and in the public stocks.
Where the restraining influence of civ
lllzation obtains, it seeks a vent through
the imagination, by reading the accounts
Of hangings, of fires, of wrecks and of
murders.

NO REMARRTAGE.

The report just made public by the
committee appointed by the last general
conference of the Episcopal church on
the subject of divorce must be regarded
as one of the most important pronounce
ments made on that subject for many
years past. The conference of 1898 show
ed in its deliberations strong tendency
to adopt some more positive declaration
regarding the marriage of divorced per-
sons than that then agreed on The
appointment of the committee whose re-
port is now known was looked upon at
the time as indicating a disposition to
deal with the subject in an effective
way at some future conference. It's
work has been done in such manner as
that so far as can be anticipated at
this time, 1t will receive the full sane
ton CT the coming conference.
The tendency has been growing
stronger every day in church circles to
treat the divorce question as involving
a menace to the Christian household.
Nowhere has that tendency been more
marked among the churches than in the
Episcopal faith. Within the Church of
England there are many ministers who
today are unwilling to perform the sac
rament of matrimony with reference to
two people either of whom has a living
| divorced husband or wife. If the ordi-
nance just reported is adopted by the
| next conference. the divorce industry
will have received the most severe blow
that it has been subjected to, at least
within the past ten or fifteen years
The restraint which the laws of GER
tain states threw around the remarriage
! of divorced persons was made ineffec-
tive many years ago, when it became
recognized generally as the law of the
subject, that the marriage contracted
legally within the limits of one STATE
could not be successfully questioned
within the limits of another. So that
in states like New York, which still
maintained the prohibition against the
remarrying of the cuIpable party to a
divorce, the restriction was found to be
of no avail whatever, as the offending
party might take a Hudson river ferry
boat and remarry anywhere in New Jer-
sey.
If some effective restraint could be
placed on the remarriage of those
through whose offending the original
marriage was dissolved, it would go a
| long way toward putting an end to in
discriminate divorces. Some such reg
ulation is required. The adoption of the
| proposed canon by the American Epis-
| copal church will do much; but if it
could be supplemented by a uniform
| enactment by the several states prohibit
| ms the marriage of those through whose
| offending the marriage in the first in
| stance was dissolved, it would at once
| put an end to the immoral agency Of
| collision In producing unwarranted di-
vorces. In the present condition of d.
vorce regulations civil and ecclesiastical.
save alone within the Catholic church.
a positive premium is set on Illegal di-
vorces. The social tendency of our time
has been strongly toward more liberal
| divorce regulations but the regulations
which have resulted have simply not
only liberalized existing regulations, but
