The Barber as a Mechanic.

In respect to the claim of barber to
an exemption of his mirror and chair as
tools of a mechanic Judge Wilkes, of
Tennessee, says:
1t is argued that no one is a mechanic ex-
Cept person who works on wood or metal :;
but 1t is replied the barber works upon the
head and upon the cheek, so that, while
there is Il distinction between the two it
seems to be a distinction without any material
difference. Attention is called to the fact also
that frequently the impression made on the
customers face is similar to that made by
carpenter with his saw. The argu-
ment is that if Il man who spreads paint on
IA board and makes it more attractive is "a
mechanic and laborng man, another man
who spreads soap on the face and makes it
more attractive is a mechanic and labOring
man, We must confess that we are not able
to answer such logic as this. To look at him
the barber appears to be professional gen
tieman, and we feel much hesitation in class
ing him with mechanics except upon his own
request. !" AT his request, he must he
classed as mechanic and laborer as well as
orator and news agent.

A VICTIM OF THE MAFIAe

The assassination of Sergt. Robert
Douglass at the new Croton water dam,
near Croton Landing, New York, on
Monday night, by an unknown person,
suggests the possibility that he was the
victim of a secret organization like the
Malta Society, II not of that society. The
assassination was a mysterious one. No
shot was heard and no trace of the as
sassin was found.
The Italian laborers engaged Ia build
ing the dam are ON a strike. They will
not work at the wages offered by the con-
tractors. and will not permit other labor
ers to take their places. Troops have been
sent to the scene of the trouble. The Ital-
ians say that they do not intend to resist
the troops, but 1t is probable that they are
a bad set of men to deal with.
They will not resist the troops openly
but is there any guarantee that they will
not attempt to shoot the soldiers from
ambush, just as Sergt. Douglass was
shot? Undoubtedly they feel very bit
terly towards the troops for interfering
with their plans. Although they must
know that they cannot benefit their cause
by aSSaSSlnatlnB a mlIltl3Indn mere ana
there, they are revengeful, and they may
shoot down a soldier whenever they feel
they can do so with safety to them
selves. simply tc crafty their desire for
revenge. The doings of the Malta Society
in New Orleans have not been forgotten.
nor the terrible vengeance taken on mem
bers of that organization by a mob in that
city.
There is a chance for great deal of
trouble at the Croton water dam. The
Italian laborers there are in a very ugly
frame of mind. They may go further In
their acts of violence because Of the belief
that they are to some extent under the
protection of the Italian government If
they engage in acts of lawlessness, how
ever, they will quickly discover that the
fact that they are citizehs of Italy viii be
of no protection to them. They will have
to obey the laws and keep the peace. If
they resort to secret assassination with
| the hope of carrying their point, or to
crafty their hatred for the officers of the
law they Will likely arouse a feeling
against themselves much like that which
showed itself against the Malta at New
Orlaare

DAVIS, SERVICE TO HAY.

That is a very interesting story which
GENES from Washington respecting the
service which ex-Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, Webster Davis, rendered
Consul Hay at Pretoria. 1t seems that if
Mr.. Davis had not been at Pretoria Con-
sui Hay would not have been received by
the Transvaal government, and the young
man would have had the modification Of
returning to his father the Secretary Of
ldent Kruger regarded him as little less
than a British spy.
There is probably another side to this
story. and If there is. Secretary Hay will
not hesitate long about giving 1t to the
public 1t may be that Consul Hay was
a little indiscreet while he was in Lon
don, on his way to Pretoria, but It is
hardly probable that he said or did any
thing that was Inconsistent with his mis-
sion.
No doubt he called on some OF the men-
bers Of the British government lie NAV
have had reasons for doing 20. And II ho
did. 1t does not follow that he promised
TO reveal 10 me British any Of tho secrets
OF the Transvaal government that he
might hear az Pretoria. II IS also said
that he had three hours conference

not Consul Hay have talked three hours
with Mr. Hammond il he wanted TO:
But tho curious part Of the story is that
the TransvaaI authorities finally egreed
TO receive Consul Hay because Mr.. Web
ster Davis vouched for him. But what did
Mr.. Davis know about Consul Hays do
ings In London? And what could he say
In his behalf that the Boer authorities did
not already know?
It Is probable that If President Kruger
or his Secretary OF State regarded Con
sui Hay with disfavor, IT was thought best
TO make no mention of the fact because
Of the desire of the Boer government to
remain on good terms with the govern
ment of this country, and not because of
the intervention Of Mr.. Davis on Consul
Hays behalf. The Beers hope for assist
ance from this country. 1t would have
been a great mistake therefore for them
to have refused to receive the son of Sec
rotary of Stote Hay on the ground that he
had practically made himself an agent Of
the British No doubt there will be
sequel to the Davis Hay story.

THE CREED IN DANGER.

1t is apparent that the dissatisfaction
among Presbyterians with portions of their
creed is growing. There are various rea-
sons why there has been hesitation to
take steps to bring about changes in At
but it is doubtful If this hesitation will
continue very much longer. Indeed, 1t
was stated in our dispatches yesterday,
that the Chicago Presbytery, after adopt
ing the report of the committee to which
had been referred the request of the Rev
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills of Brooklyn, to
be dropped from the rolls of the presby-
terry. passed a resolution requesting the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church to appoint a committee on the
general question of the creed.
When such men as DIR. Hills sever their
connection with the Presbyterian Church
because they cannot give their assent to
its creed, and such staunch Presbyteriaus
as Rev. DR.. Parkhurst declare that what
the Presbyterian Church wants is a new
creed, and that 1t would be better to give
the old creed a place in a museum than
to attempt to amend 1t, 1t is certainly time
that Presbyterians were doing something
towards adopting a creed to which the en-
tire membership of the denomination can
give its approval.
DR.. Parkhurst takes the position that
the creed, as 1t is at present, is a system
of theology and that what the Presby-
terrain Church wants is not system of
theology, but "a simple, brief Saxon
statement of half dozen or so of the
vital ingredients of Jesus christ's message
to the world"
There is no doubt much truth in what
DR.. Parkhurst says. 1t is safe to say that
there are some things in the creed which
the majority of Presbyterians do not be-
lieve Indeed it is evident from the resig-
nations of DR.. Hills and DR.. McGiffert
that there are Presbyterian ministers who
do not believe some of the things the
creed contains. AS a matter of fact there
creeds nowadays. 1t is a question
whether the percentage of Christians who
are thoroughly familiar with the creeds
of their respective churches is very large.
They are more concerned about what DR..
Parkhurst calls the vital ingredients of
Jesus Christs message to the world"
II men and women are to be put out of
the church because they refuse TO sub
scribe to it's creed II is probable that the
number that will go out will, in the very
near future be almost as large as the
number that will go in.

LiptOn's Omce Boy.

This is true story of an Office boy who
asked for an increase in his salary-and

his chair, said:
You must see Mr.. Upton himself He
regulates all rises in salaries here"
After week of disappointment the boy
succeeded in gaining admittance to Mr.
Lipton's office. With shaky voice he asked
for rise in salary.
How long have you worked here?'
asked Mr.. Upton.
Four years"
And how much are you getting?"
Eight shilings a week"
How old are you?"

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

The Republicans are going to make a
show Of fighting the trusts They must
do something to avoid the charge that
thetr party Is the friend and defender Of
trusts. The presidential ca nnpaisn is close
at hand. and they must put themselves
on record as being against trusts, No
doubt they via put In their national plat
form as strong a plank against trusts as
there VIA be In the platform of the DEM
| ocrats. A subcommittee of the judiciary
Commlttee of the House has agreed TO re-
port two measures against trusts. One
provides for an amendment to the constI-
tuition, giving Congress authority to deal
with them, and other proposes certain adj
ditions to the Sherman law of 1890.
If these mea sures should be adopted it
would be possible to control trusts. With
an Attorney General willing and ready to
enforce the law it would not be possible
for trusts to get the monopoly of prod
ucts and put their own prices on them.
But viii these measures become laws?
That is a question that cannot be an
swered with any degree of certainty.
There is no doubt that the trusts will
oppose them, and they are not without in
huence in Congress. They have any
amount of money, and with money great
deal can be accomplished.
There is no probability of course that
either of the measures will be passed ut
this session. The full judiciary Commit
tee has not acted upon them yet Indeed,
it is doubtful If the Republicans intend
ded for them to be acted upon promptly
They would rather have them so they
could hold them as a threat over the
trusts. The trusts may be informed that
If they do not contribute literally to the
campaign fund of the Republican party,
the antitrust bills will be passed at the
next session of Congress.
It would take a long time to get the
states to rahfy the amendment to the
constitution, even if Congress should sub
nit 1t to them. The trusts will oppose II
in both the House and the Senate and In
every one of state Legislatures.
There are so many obstacles to be over
come that it would not be surprising If
1t should be several years before there is
any legislation that would seriously in
terfere with the trusts Still, much de-
ponds upon the attitude of the party in
power toward them. If a vigorous
campaign against trusts should be wage,t,
their power for harm might be greatly
limited in a comparatively short time,
but at present there is no prospect of any
such campaign.

Among all fights OF wild beasts, perhaps
the most terrible are those in which the
combatants belong 20 different elements
The struggle then seems peculiarly wan
ton and unnatural. Not long ago two men,
on small island on the Californian
coast, declare that they witnessed such q
battle, and tell the story of 1t in the San
Francisco Call: The men were amusing
themselves watching the antics Of a num-
Der of sea lions on a reef, when all at
once the creatures began to below in
alarm, and dived into the water. One
huge fellow alone stood his ground and
moved his head slowly, as If watching
something.
A moment later the men saw, creeping
from the shadow of a rock, two large
panthers, which had evidently swan over
from the mainland in search of prey.
simultaneously the Apanthers leaped
upon their enemy, and a terrible combat
ensued. For nearly thirty minutes il
went on, till the reef was skirted with
crimson foam.
Twice the lion struck a panther square
ly with his ripper, and knocked him a
dozen feet away. But the great cats kept
to their work, and finally one of them
buried his teeth in a ripper of the sea-
lion, and tore 1t off with a single savage
tug.
Believing hoarsely with pain and anger,
the wounded bull caught the panthers
throat between its jaws and dragged him
into the water, but the big brute was
weak from loss of blood The panther
escaped, and with it's mate swan off for
the mainland across the narrow channel,
while the sea-hon struggled out toward
the ocean to die.
The men went down to examine the field
of battle A hole deep enough to bury
horse had been dug in the soft mud,
while the shore was stained blood red.

So much pressure has lately been
brought upon the Presbyterian Church,
north, in favor of a revision of the Con-
fession of Faith that it is difficult to see
how the General Assembly can avoid
ordering the revision. Should the memo
rails for revision be denied 1t is evident
that the church would within a compare
lively short time be much weakened by
The agitation for revision has not as
sumed such proportions in the Southern
church, but It is inevitable that it will ex-
tend to this section sooner or later-possi-
bly, sooner than some of the brethren ex-
pect.

The Standardization congress, which
is to be held in November next is a move
ment by which Spain hopes in some de-
gree 10 recoup her lost prestige in Amer
lea. She can no longer hope for political
empire on this side of the ocean, but she
believes that she can to a considerable
extent recompense herself by enlarging
her commerce with the Spanish speaking

public, it seems, is her chief ally in this
matter Meanwhile il may be suspected
that the Argentine is looking out for a
good European market for her grain, beet
