The young, and Is was clearly his duty
to do 50. This Is the spirit Of he law.
The law does not punish IN spiri, ct
vengeance. Criminals a.e punished as
a warning to offers. and those whose
duty it Is to execute the laws fail of their
duty when they condone css;nc. The
Governor had plain duty TO discharge
aid he did 1t with eorumendable courage,
IN spite Of Tie touching appeal of Tue
young woman and her friends. and in
spite OF his own tender sylnpat hies.
One thing more. The Governor is under
soiemn oath to uphold the law and he
must be the judge When lie is called upon
10 suspend the Law and exercise, execu-
tive cleIaeacy. The obligation is upon
HIs1. NOT upcn his cr.tics, and he is re-
aponsaole for the manner in W'hica ne
discharges it. It does seem to US that
when he uphoias the law he should nave

The man who has at times INDUCED
In practice known as boozng,
Perceives the error Of his way,
And conscience is accusing.
He says that he no more will go
Where glasses oft are cIinklnS,
He'll spend his nights in better style,
And so he sWears off drinking.
Some vow no more they'll borrow cash
To waste in foolish spending,
And some who've frequently beer
touched
Decide to stop all lending.
Some who have often stretched the truth
Are for reform declaring,
And some who long have been profane
Now stop and swear off swearing.
Some make these vows ut each years end
But brief is reformation,
For when the testing time arrives
They can't resist temptation.
But many to their VOWS adhere,
Save cash and contributions,
So cheer them on, ana DO not scott

CUnitENl TOPICS,

IT have always. held" says Sir B. C.
Browne in the Engineering Magazine,
land 1 believe most fair-minded employ
ers and workmen hold, that the best
position for negotiations to be carried on
between capital ard labor is that Of abb
solute equality, and that neither side
ought to wish to have any advantage over
the other, and if all questions could be
settled on the basis of justice, fair play.
and the general good of the trade. it is
quite clear the question which was
strongest would not be of any impor-
lance, or enter at all into the calculations
of either side.
81 fear we are long way off this ideal,
but there is no doubt that every step to-
wards 1t is a very great gain to both
sides and to the prosperity of the coun-
try; and l may say, as l have often said
before, that l do not think on the whole
the relation between employers and work
men is SO unsatisfactory as 1t is Some-
times said to be. l think on the whole
the wonder is not that we sometimes have
strikes and difficulties, but rather that
we do such an enormous amount OIL work
so smoothly as at present"
q
u Great Britain is farther in China al
ready than any other Power. The facts
are sensational when taken together. The
British have most OF the trade in strong
ports, where they have put up handsome
buildings, and they have most of the
concessions. 1t is the expectation that
British capital will play the largest part
In the modernization of China. Frank G.
Carpenter. who has been in that part of
the world for some time. contributes to
this week S issue of the Saturday Evening
Post an article giving the most recent
facts of the situation. He says:
..I-he English are doing The most of the
foreign banking for China. They get a
percentage on the greater part OIL the
quarter OF billion dollars used in its
foreign trade They have made the
Chinese Government loans up to the last
four or FIVE years; the first two loans at
the close of the Chinese-Japanese war,
each amounting to sSO.0GO.O00, having been
placed with the English and Germans,
There is one English bank in China which
has deposits of sS00o0,e0o 1t pays per
cent. on deposits ana, MISUNDERSTANDING
this, declares big dividends. In a recent
transaction it made a clear profit of

terday in the Mayors Court to having
disturbed divine. worship last Sunday in
i College Hill Baptist Church, lie was
fined $50 and was allowed to pay this
sum at the rate CT s. per week For some
tine past TIE pastor and congregation OF
.his church have been greatly annoyed by
the conduct OF young people in the rear
part of the church, in talking. passing
notes, throwing spit balls. and even
ca ling peanuts. Time and again the pas
tor had admonished the young people that
this indecorous behavior must cease, but
finding that his remarks were unheeded,
the officials of the church secured the
services of local detective. who, last
Sunday, occupied a pace where he could
observe what was going on, with the
result that warrant was obtained for
one OF the guilty parties. and others may
follow if this does not have sa!utary
effect.-Lynchburg News.

But nothing definite was done IN TINS

a National AE5traiasian Convention
This convention met in March, 1891, and
passed resolutions having in view a
federal constitution. A bal was SO
passed creating the Commonwealth OF
Australia, but these measures failed 10
satisfy all the interests involved and laser
leaders of the several governments heid
other conferences, with the result that
another convention met at Melbourne, IN
February, 1898, and adopted another p.il
for submission TO the peop.e- This was
submitted in January, 1888, and was
adopted by the colonies, except New
South Wales The differences were adj
justed in the early part of 1899, and an
amended bill passed by the several Par
liaments An appropriate address to the
Queen was framed, federal delegation
was sent to England TO confer with the
home Government, and the bill was
passed by Parliament and received the
assent Of the Crown.
The new regime was inaugurated on
January ]. Under this act the executive
power is vested in a Governor-G eneral,
appointed by the Queen, and i, assisted
by {. federal executive council The
federal Parliament will consist OF two
houses, the Senate and the House of Re-
personalities, both to be elected by the
people on the basis of zone man, one
vote The term of Senators i, to be
six years, and that of Representatives
three years. Each State or Colony
originally included in the Commonwealth
is entitled to an equal representation OF
six Senators and the total number or
Representatives is to be as nearly as pos
sible twice that of the Senators, each
State to be represented in proportion to
population, the minimum being fixed by
five members.
There will be a High Court of Justice,
corresponding to our Supreme Court,
which may hear appeals from the Federal
Courts and State Supreme Courts.
We are indebted for many of these
facts to an article in the New York Til
bune and another in Harper's Weekly.
We say that this is peculiarly interest
ing to the people of the United States, be-
cause England is doing for Australia
what our forefathers wanted her to do for
them. Had England pursued such a
liberal policy towards her American
colonies the probability is that there
would have been no separation. But
England learned some valuable lessons
from her dealings with the American
colonists and it Is to the lesson then
learned that she owes her greatness to-
day.

The great political change in Australia
which began on January 1st has a Pc
culiar interest for Americans. Australia
is an interesting country. however. from
any point of view, and it has made Won
oerrul progress. 1t is not much more
than an hundred years since the first
white man landed there and twas only
about eighty years ago that white set
tiers began to take up their permanent
residence on Its shores. Yet the people
of Australia have now entered upon
united national life and a distinguished
writer says that they do so better equipped
in nearly every respect for career OF rap
progress and development than America
was when the nineteenth century began.
Its a country of vast area, being about
as large as the United States proper
The single State of West Australia is
about four times as large as Texas, While
New South Wales. which is the smallest
but one OF the original colonies on the
mainland, is nearly as large as the united
areas OF New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Australia measures about s.ooo miles
east and west and 1870 miles
from north to south, having an
area of ee,e.5 ooo square miles.
1t extends northward to within about
ten degrees of the equator, and to the
latitude of about New York City towards
the south. so thar it embraces three
zones of climate-the tropical. the sub
tropical and the temperate zone. It has
vast sores of fine grazing lands, but much
/ OF the country Is subject to long and dis
astrous droughts. It IS one of the! rich
