HADLEYS EMPEROR
Yale's President Conects Impression Aris-
ing From His Speech

President Hadley of Yale University,
whose prediction made in the Old
South church in Boston, that there will
be an emperor in Washington in %
years unless public sentiment capa-
BILE of controlling the trusts is aroused
has given rise to comment in this
country AID Europe, is quoted in spe-
cial to the World from Boston as say
ing:
1.-The comments of the papers evil
IDENTIFY have been based on a misrep-
resentation of the facts. They seem
to have assumed that 1 spoke on trusts
whereas my address was not on trusts,
but on public conscience, my reference
to trusts being incidental and of the
most casual character.
81 do not mean that the trusts will
create an emperor. What I said was
that an aroused public opinion is the
only thing that can control the trusts,
and without that public opinion, we
shall have an emperor

Austria Against American Goods

Washington.-Ther is strong
movement afoot in Austria against the
importation of American products, ac-
cording to- a dispatch received at the
state department from United Consul
Horsfeld at Trieste The expiration
of the tariff treaties of Austria Hun
gary in 1902 will necessitate general
revision of the customs laws of the
country, and Consul Horsfeld says
there is certainly every indication that
the new tariff laws will be framed
with a special view to prohibiting the
importation of American products.
A majority of Austria's economists
have no fear of American retaliation,
states the consul, because Austria buys
from the United States more than she
sells to her.
In conclusion, the consul says that
public opinion certainly appears to be
with the prohibitionists, who are d
Well-organiZed and active body.

Two Presidents May Meet

Mexico City-The Mexican consul at
Ell Paso, Texas, Mr.. Mallen, has re-
turned from a three days stay at Cuer-
navaca, where he had interview with
President Diaz. He says the president
is in excellent health. There continues
to be much talk here about President
Diaz going to FL Paso in order to
meet President Mckinley, when the
latter makes his trip to the Pacific
coast, but there seems to be some
doubt as to which government should
take the initiative. Each president
has a high regard for the other and a
meeting between them would be the
first event of the kind.

The attention of the young men Of
the time is called to the fact that char
acter is cash capital, and that it passes
at times and places for the financial
benefit of the owner when money
would be of little avail. This is not
taking into consideration the better
part of the proposition that good char
acter alone is sufficient to promote per-
sonal satisfaction and secure for the
owner a degree of happiness and pleas
ure. There was a time when the boy
was supposed to 'sow his wild oats"
If he plants such a crop at this time
those who deal with him now and who
will deal with him in the future will
demand a proof that the seed of the
wild oats has been extirpated. The
young man who is engaging in bust
ness at this time finds that the posses
sion of wealth is not the principal
thing. He must have character and
being in possession of that measure
BILE amount of wealth may come TO
him. Reputation Is everything. 1t
may be well for the people to talk of
the time when honesty and sobriety
were in better esteem than now, but
there never was a time in history when
these qualities were so nearly compul=
sorry. There never was a time when
more attention was paid to self-control
for the good of the individual and for
the effect on society. If the young
men could only know of the volume of
business transacted annually on the
word of the interested parties they
would know the meaning of honor If
they could also know that the loss in
this class of transactions is less than
in the class where the signatures are
demanded and oaths are recorded they
would appreciate the qualifications
that must be obtained by the one who
would succeed. If they knew of the
number OF men who refuse to transact
business with those they cannot implic-
lily trust, aside from all financial guar
antees they would have some idea of
the circles that will be barred to them
in case their regulations should be al
lowed to suffer. Employers of labor
are demanding that their men shall
have good habits. In this time of com
petition they cannot afford to have
their trade suffer through the short.
comings of those into whose hands il
is given. Employees are coming to de
mand that the men alongside them al
their work be upright, sober and alb
stemious, for they will not bear the
blame of failures for which others are
responsible and that may be charged
to their account. In short the men who
do not cause their families to suffer
through their own habits will not al
low that their families should suffer
through the habits of others, and the
lines are being drawn closer all the
time. The young man has the chance
to succeed in business if he has the
ability and the right kind of charac
ter. He has the assurance of failure
| if he has the capital and lacks in char
acter. The possession of money will
not add to the credibility OF any man
for employers know that there is grea
chance of loss by the employment O
those who lack the intention to dea
fairly with them. Integrity, care TO
reputation, ability and the desire t,
lead the proper sort of life are tn,
things that will win in the future.

Wherever capital punishment exists
there Is talk about it's ineffectiveness as
a deterrent from crime and the conse-
quent propriety of abolishing it. But
in most, if not all, States and countries
where no death penalty is now infiict-
ed there is quite as much talk about
the necessity of reviving it. The gen
eral tendency of the times, however,
is beyond question against the infiic-
ton Of the death penalty. 1t has often
been stated that there would be less
opposition to this tendency if a SEN
tence of Imprisonment for life did not

Cubans Plan Rebellion

Jacksonville, Fla.-News reaches
here from good authority that re-
bellion is being planned in Cuba
against the United States. This infor-
nation comes from a member of Major
Bowden's family, who is a resident of

cretly preparing for war and are max
ing heavy purchases of arms and am
munition. The statement creates con-
siderable excitement among the large
Cuban colony here.

In the time of Claudius, King of Den
mark, there may have been a divinity
hedging kings, though the suddenness
with which Claudius himself shuff1ed
off this mortal coil indicates that the
divinity didn't hedge him to any great
extent. But in the present age it is
quite evident that though princes con-
tinue to maintain the assumption of di-
vine right-which necessarily implies
divine protOction-they are particularly
careful to supplement that protection
with carnal and temporal measures
against anarchists, nihilists and other
forcible critics Of royalty. The elabo-
rate police precautions taken to pre-
vent the blowing up of half the royal
ties of Europe at Victoria's funeral
show very clearly that the royalties
themselves use the divine right idea
for publication only. For practical
purposes they prefer to have squad
of detectives close at hand and troops
within easy hail.

kidnapping is crime so viciously un-
reasonable and so much resembling
murder in its effects upon the friends
of the victim and so likely in many in
stances to result in that crime that
legislative bills providing for the death
penalty in case of conviction find very
general approval. Certainly as between
the death penalty and term of i'm
prisonment shorter than that provided
for second degree murder, the general
sentiment would approve the former.
Out of the legislative discussion of the
subject, which has been so quickened
by recent events, some satisfactory
conclusion as to the punishment for
the crime should be reached, and it
should be severe enough to make the
offense a terror to the would-be perpe-

The Shortage of Cars

The fruit interests of California have
to contend with powerful foes. AS
noted elsewhere, new peril confronts
us. The manufacturing interests of
the great eastern trusts clash with our
fruit interests, and threaten us with
disastrous legislation. But our present
distress is caused by lack of cars to
carry our fruit to the eastern markets.
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe
is reported as saying in an interview
last Sunday night on his arrival from
Chicago, that his road has any num-
Der of empty cars that could be sent
here but asks, what is the use of
sending cars here to be loaded with
fruit if we have not enough motive
power to haul them to the east?"
He gave this explanation of the sit
uation: eff we had enough coal the
fruit growers could probably have a
hundred cars day. AS 1t is, during
the last ten days we have been unable
to transport more than sixty or sew
enty cars day." not that number of
fruit cars, by any means, but passen-
gers and ordinary freight cars are in
Guided. And he adds: 1.-The famine is
more of coal than of cars. We have
sent out all the cars we cOulu HdHule.
A H. Naftzger, president of the
Southern California Fruit Exchange,
was seen at once, but was not Inclined
to accept without protest President
Ripley's statement He said:
''Mr. Ripley says his company can
not develop enough motive power suf-
ficient to bring west three or four
heavy passenger trains daily, filled
with cut-rate tourists.
what caused the strike at the San

mands of the miners and the price the

than concede the few extra cents a

seems willing to imperil the citrus
crop of Southern California"

Schools for Cuba

Havana.-Lieut. Hanna, Commission
er of Schools, says great difficulty and
expense are incurred owing to the ma
ture of the houses which are used for
schools. There is not single school
house in the island that was built for
school purposes. Nearly all In actual
use were built as private dwellings,, and
high rents have to be paid for them.
He has formulated a plan to build
matched rooted, pine school houses in
country villages. Many of these will
cost only three times the yearly rent
at present rates, paid for private build
ings. More substantial buildings will
be put in towns.

very necessary, and that, if possible,
he will allot money for the purpose.

Who Shall Own Railroads.

Fruit growers are not all in mood
just now to work hard and vote early
and often in favor of private owner
ship of railroads. President Ripley's
explanation of the inability of the San
ia Fe to supply cars for the transpor-
tation of the fruit does not help fruit
growers to be reconciled to the stu
alton. They buy stamps, that is, pay
transportation, and send away at once
all the letters they care to write, and
there is no discrimination in facilities
or schedules or cost of transportation
on letters, and they like it. They are
thinking this matter over seriously be-
cause the railroads are forcing them
to consider a grave problem.

Some Interesting Topics of General Moment

RURAL HAPPINESS AND ACTIVITY
Two Thousand Cars of Potatoes We're
Shipped from Washington Last Month
Bad System for Strawberries -Fruit
Cars Scarce

Advices from Tacoma, Wash, state
that the Northern Pacific has trans
ported over 1000 cars of potatoes from
Washington to the eastern markets
during the past month. This is the
heaviest month the road has ever had
in this class of freight.
Nearly all the shipments are from
the eastern part of the state, a great
many being delivered at North Yakima
There is big demand for Washington
potatoes in the east. This is not, it is
said, because there is any shortage in
the market, but they are needed for
seed in the southern states and in
many of the eastern states. There has
been failure in all parts of the
south in the seed crop. Last year
there was larger amount of potatoes
grown in the south than for several
years, but they are spongy and grow
ers there do not wish to plant them.
Each car that has gone forward con-
tains 500 bushels, and therefore this
state has done it's share of supplying
the market.
The statement is made that Wash
ington potatoes are better than those
of any of the northwestern states this
year and therefore the farmers of this
state are receiving better prices on this
class of produce than they have for
several years in the past.-New York

Bad System for Strawberries

The matted row system, which is al
most exclusively used by strawberry
growers, is no doubt responsible for
much of the poor fruit put on the mar
ket. The plants mat so thickly that
light and air are excluded from the
crowns and fruit, the roots do not have
sufficient room and food to properly
develop. They are therefore weak and
defective and cannot mature their crop
of berries. Many of the berries are
too small to pick and are LETT on the
vines to decay and seed the ground
with inferior plants, which add to the
mass of vines. When the bed has run
out and a new one is to be set, plants
are generally taken from the sides of
the rows of these exhausted plants
with such as have grown from the
seeds of small berries left after pick
ing These scrub plants are then
fruited in the same way three or four
years, and plants are again taken for
a new bed from the edges of the mat
ted row. The lack of cultivation in
this method of growing fruit is one of
the evils of this system Of growing
fruit. The row becomes so wild that
the soil cannot be stirred. The ground
becomes crusted after each irrigation,
causing the plants to become stunted
and permanently injured.
