trembling before the storm Of public

trusts to which he owes his ONCE;

Joke on Cnnnucks.

That was great joke on our Can
adam friends at Windsor, Ont, who
thought to rebuke some American
school children for sending mes
sage of sympathy to Dom Paul, by
encouraging their school children to
send a like message to Aguinaldo.
So many Americans recognized the
propriety Of such proceeding, not
as a rebuke to any Of their fellow
citizens, but as tribute to one c:
the weaker peoples fighting for lib
erty, that the school authorities at
Windsor were overwhelmed with en-
couraging letters from the states This
incident may forcibly help our pa
triotic Canadian brethren to under
stand that some at least Of the SYM
pathy of this country for the South
Africans, whose independence IL
threatened by British jingoes. is In
spired by no traditional antipathy 20
Englishmen, but springs from the
same Democratic impulse that finds
expression at home in sympathy for
Aguinaldo's people whose independ-
ence is threatened by American
jingoes.

If we were " suIu up in one word
the cause of the social evil of the
times, no better could be given than
monopoly"
There are the municipal monopolies
of street railways and gas and cleo
trio plants; there is the railroad mo-
nopoly and the telephone monopoly;
and there are the trust monopolies-
each and every one of which is the
foundation of colossal private fortunes
and each and every one OF which is
rooted and grounded in special privi-
leges.
The form of monopoly most attract
ing public attention is that commonly
known as the trust. Within the past
two years we have not only seen a
most phenomenal growth of trusts,
but we have experienced an extraor-
binary and rapid rise in the prices OF
trust products.
While the actual capital invested is
less than five billions of dollars, the
trusts are capitalized at more than
ten billions and to pay dividends on
their fictitious capitalization, the an
nual tribute extorted by them in ex-
cess of reasonable returns on the cap
ital invested, is more than $500, 900, 900
per year.

A popular col0r for canary-birds in
England at present is reddish yellow,
or deep orange. This color, it is said,
can be produced artificially by dieting
the birds on a number Of different sub
stances, the chief of which Is cayenne
pepper mixed with molasses. Dealers
are able to produce particularly de-
sirable shades by varying the guam
tity of pepper and by adding occa-
sionally a little turmeric or madden.
Each dealer has his own formula,
which he keeps secret. The plumage
of the birds thus treated is apt to fade,
and they are kept as much as possible
out of the light.

A "CENTLEMAN" FARMER.

Another of those idiotic misconcep-
tons Of Markham's famous poem,
THE Man With the Hoe" is floating
through the plutocratic press. This
one tells Of an intelligent looking,
well-dressed, clean-shaven man, who
seemed quite at home amid the sur
roundings of magnificent hotel.
When interviewed by reporter he
expressed great anxiety to know
whether he looked like a man with the
emptiness of ages in his face, or seom-
ed to be bearing on his back the bur-
dens of the world, or was dead to
rapture or despair, thing that grieves
not and never hopes" or showed a
loosened or let down jaw. a brow
slanted back, darkened brain, or the
mien of one stolid and stunned-a
brother to the OK He asked these
questions, he said, because he wanted
to learn IL Markham knew what he
was talking about when he wrote THE
Man With the Hoe" For said this
splendid American toiler:
II raised on my farm in Illinois
last year 10000 bushels of wheat, H.
900 bushels Of oats, 10000 bushels of
corn and 1000 head of cattle. to say
nothing of other stuff and stock, and
I'm just back from European trip"
He raised! Why he raised nothing.
What he did was to let other men
raise those things for him and to
pay them trifie out Of the product
for doing it; pretty much as the tramp
offered to allow all corners to catch
drift wood in the Mississippi on
shares. This is not Markham's man
with the hoe. This is only the kind
that makes Markham's kind. And he
would know it if his brow were not
somewhat slanted and his brain q lit
tie darkened. He is the type of man
upon whom Markham calls when he
addresses the masters, lords and rul-
ers in all lands" To him the degraded
man with the hoe stands in the rela-
ton of effect to cause; stands as the
slave to the master, asst the serf to the
lord, as the robbed to the robber.-

MONEY AND CAPITAL.
GOV. JOHN LIND EXPLAINS
THEIR FUNCTIONS.
Money Is Never Capital But Is Merely
the Medium by Which Capital May BE
Obtained "A Plea for Government
Ownership of Railroads.

Money is never capital 1t simply
commands capital. If every dollar in
money should be destroyed the world
would have just as much capital as
before, but those who now have the
money would lose their power to COM
mand capital through that medium.
II this conception be correct, then
capital is always good, and never a
menace to the people, although its i'm
proper use may become SO. We cannot
have too much capital, and it would
make but little difference who owned,
II only the results of its use were fairly
divided between those who owned and
those who performed the labor. 1t is
the use Of capital that Is of vital i'm
portance, and not its ownership.
There must be public capital, such as
parks, public buildings, streets, etc.
And with this kind of capital l class
railroads. I maintain that they are
public capital, simply held in trust for
the people, and the time is coming
when they will be public capital in
the fullest sense. Private ownership
Of land has been undoubtedly best I'M
der the civilization we have had, but
advancement in civilization is teach
ing us more and more that even the
land is simply held in trust by the
owners for all the people. and 1t is
theirs as soon as they demand 1t. No
mans land is exempt from condemna-
ton for public use now.-John Lind,
Fusion Governor of Minnesota.

The Moros of the Mohammedan belt
under our jurisdiction have reserved
for them a melancholy fate, in the
opinion of the very latest thinkers on
the spot. Many American officers"
declares an Associated Press letter
from the Philippines, "say that the
Moro destiny is determination" Hav-
ing reached this conclusion, the detail
of the operation is already taking
shape in the far-seeing military mind.
For, says the same correspondent,
"the American officers are convinced
that the cheapest way to deal with
the Moros. who are at heart savages
Of the most bloodthirsty character,
will be to show them no mercy when
once they become hostile, even If some
innocent lives have to be sacrificed for
the general good" Glorious, isn't it?
A wonderful craftsmanship it was that
saddled us with the islands of the
Mohammedan belt.-Springfeld Re-

Who Civilized Us9

There is q plea that we must give
these poor people a higher civiLza-
ton. We must make them improve.
am inclined to think that we have an
inadequate idea of the civilization Of
the Philippines and that we have been
willfully kept in the dark about the
attachments and capabilities of the
Filipino, but granting that they are
not so civilized as we think they
should be, is that any reason why they
should not be allowed gradually to
advance, to work out their improve
ment in a natural way, as we have
done? We were not always civilized
in the modern sense; we were very
rude. AS Cowper says:
Time was then clothing sumptuous or
for use,
Save their own painted skins, our sires
had none.
Why should we not be willing to as
sist the Filipinos by the use Of our SUI
perior attainments, as we have assist
ed other nations, notably Japan. with
out subjugating them ?-Henry Budd.

NEGRO ExNIBIr FOR PARIS.
Sent by tho Atlanta, Ca, University to
the Paris Exposition.

Sent BY the Atlanta, Ca, University to
the Paris Exposition.
Some months ago the Atlanta (Ga.)
university sent negro exhibit to
Paris for the exposition and last week
a second negro exhibit, with the same
destination, was forwarded by the
same university. It is said by the At
,lanta papers to be an exhaustive So
cial study of the Georgia negro, who,
as Georgia has the largest negro pop
ulation of any state, Is taken as fair
representative of the race in this coun-
try. 1t is illustrated by maps, col
ored charts and other devices. The
facts shown are decidedly encourage
ing not only in regard to the material
progress of the negro, but as to his
intellectual progress as well. The in
crease in numbers has been steady
from 1890 to the present time, while
the proportion in relation to the
whites has also grown from 81 per
cent in 1900 to 46 per cent in 1880,
there being in 1890 over $4,000 negro
residents in Georgia. The freedmen
Of Georgia and their sons own at pres
ent 1,062,225 acres Of landau increase
of over 100000 acres since 1S74-and
their taxable property is assessed at
about $13,5O0000, having increased in
value nearly 100000 since 1875. In
the various occupations the agricul-
tural laberers are still in the great
majority, although there is practically
no occupation or profession that Is not
represented by few at least. Hit
eracy has decreased from 90 per cent
in 1860 to so per cent in 1900, and the
number of children In the public
schools has increased in the same Pc
Rod from seven to nearly 10000.
There are $500 negro public schools,
with property valued at $4,000, and
about $500 negro public school teach
ers. The number of negro students
in different courses-business, classic
al, professional, scientific, normal and
industrial-varies from twelve in busi-
ness to 2,252 in Industrial courses.
There are many other facts shown
For instance, the migration Of negroes
is illustrated by the Georgia negro.
Negroes born in Georgia are shown to
be in every state and territory but
one, while negroes from over half Of
the states and territories are now liv-
ing in Georgia. Other points brought
out are the conjugal conditions, the
numbers living in cities, towns and
rural districts, and the race amalgama-
ton. Under this it is shown that only
"A per cent of the race are pure Afri-
cans and 16 per cent are more white
than colored. There are maps of the
principal Georgia cities illustrating
graphically the relative numbers Of
the poor and the we'll to do and the
living conditions of all, and there are
large volumes containing much that
is interesting in the way Of negro leg
islation-the "black laws" of Georgia
from the earliest times. The work on
the exhibit was done by negroes-Dr.
Du Bots and his assistants, most of
whom are Atlanta university gradu-
ates.-Chicago News.

The play of Robinson Crusoe" is
now given in one of the Paris theaters
with four animals in the cast Of
actors. These are a goat, monkey,
a paroquet, and chief of all, a dog who
enacts the part of Robinsons faithful
companion, "Toby." The dogs real
name is Faro, and a writer in La
Nature says he will respond to that
name only when in the street or at his
masters home, but on the stage he
answers promptly to the call, Toby"
When Robinson shoots bird, Toby"
runs and picks it up, climbs up lad
der into Robinson's hut, and gives the
bird to Friday" who acts as cook.

Sham Piety,

Those were eloquent words of the
president In his address to the Ecu
menical Council, about the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood Of
Man" Directly under them in the
newspaper report, in large letters. was
the headline, Zone Thousand Rebels
put out of Action by Americans last
week." And who are our rebels
thousand of whom we valiantly
slaughtered in one week? The in
habitants of group Of islands in the
South Sea, whom we bought of Spain
in our recent treaty decker, and whom
we, a Christian nation, are leading
into civilization by the light of burn
ing homes and churches, over the
mangled bodies of their comrades. We
ought to have several councils of the
Christian teachers of America on the
subject of Foreign Missions"

Wisdom of the Chief Rabbi.

DR.. Hermann Adler, the chief rabbi.
is 60 years of age. He was educated
at University College, London, and the
universities of Prague and Leipzig.
He succeeded his father in the posi-
ton of chief rabbi in 1891. Literary
eminence is one of his main creden-
tials to distinction. He was joint
author OF a reply to Bishop Colenso's
volcanic Criticism on the Penta-
teuch," which created much comment
about thirty years ago. He has also
conducted vigorous polemical con-
troversles with such redoubtable ad-
versaries as Prof. Max-Muller amid
Goodwin Smith.

LIVE SPRING DAISIES.
Orphan Asylum's Row of Tiny Bobbing
Heads.

Orphan Asylum's Row of Tiny Bobbing
Heads.
"a bouquet of bright spring flowers"
is the way thoughtful passer-by de-
scribes a row Of bobbing heads in a
window on La Sale avenue just south
of Superior street. The window in
question Is one Of the western ex-
posures of the orphan asylum, dedicat-
ed to the name of dear st. Vincent,
and presided over by the gentle relig-
ious who wear the waving bonnets of
white linen and minister charity In
the name of their patron on battlefield,
in hospital, among the poor and the
weak and the lowly. The row Of tiny
heads in the window on Superior street
is comprised of group of tiny or
phans happily regarding the occur
rences on the pavement as special
play arranged for their special entet-
tainment. The faces are bright and
sunny and smiling and as clearly as
soap and water and happy hearts can
make them. The little bright heads
are well brushed and orderly and the
pretty colored dresses add tints to the
picture as soft and alluring as the
tints of the flowers that bloom in the
spring. Through the spaces between
the heads a glimpse can be caught of
a circle Of happy children within,
playing gayly the pastimes and games
of youth, and when the window Is
raised one can hear sounds OF prattle
and merriment and listen to bursts of
childish song or to the echo OF child
ish laughter. Close at hand walks the
sweet-faced religious with heart at
leisure from itself. In her arms a
baby lies and number Of tiny fig
ures toddle after her, clutching at her
dress. 1t is little glimpse into the
heart of a happy world, world whose
acquaintance with sorrow has been
soothed by the ministry Of tender
hands and charitable deeds.-Chicago
Chronicle,
