Now it is the rumsellers of Rutland
county that are getting it, the dose
being different from that administered
in Windham county. Every dealer in
the city is now under permanent in
junction, as the result of big batch
issued by Judge Start Tuesday. We
may expect to see constantly grow
ing use of the injunction process as
long as prohibition endures. This
not only seems to be the tendency of
all legal procedure in recent years but
it peculiarly fits the prohibitory idea,
because under it trial by jury may be
averted and the seller of liquor be
tried and punished for contempt of
court in violating it. In other words it
is a device to make prohibition work
when ii won't work otherwise. No mat
ter about the principle on which An
glo-Saxon civilization had been sup
posed TO rest for a thousand years and
as indispensable to the pre-
of liberty. Prohibition is a
denial of that.

N. Y. World man figures out on
estimates from well-informed sources
that $50, 900, 600 year is what Tam
many will lose in the shape of black
mail collections when it steps out of
power January LIST. The blackmail,
it says "has been reduced to a regular
system in every department of the city
government; 1000, 600 comes through
the police" collected mainly from vice
and crime; but every branch of public
business and everybody that deals with
it is laid under contribution, and the
rake off, goes by regular graduation
and percentages higher up" In ad-
dition also vast sums are realized
higher up from corporate deals like
the ice trust, the ''Ramapo steal" etc.
Only those that are exposed and
stopped does the general public know
about Though it may be wrong in
details there can be no question of
the general truth of the Worlds story
which explains the tremendous
of Tammany as an organiza-
tion and the seemingly limitless abil-
ity of its boss TO scatter money on the
English turf

The largest shipment of gold ever
made in one steamer went from New
York Tuesday $1,000, 900, and 1000, 600
more preceded it last week. In spite of a
trade balance in our favor of magnitude
never before equalled in the world :
history and extending back now for
six years, this export of gold is going
on at rate never before matched ::
though in the enormous stocks we
now have on hand it creates no un-
easiness, the export for the time is in
greater volume than in 1895 when it
drove the administration to resort to
the Morgan syndicate for help. 1t
is incomprehensibl and no one can
more than make beginning towards
explaining it.

The daily news now tells of petty
battles in the Philippines nearly as
often as in South Africa, and it is ev-
ident, that the same sort of guerilla
war prevails there as in the Boer
lands with the difference that though
less successful for the natives, it is
likely to be even more interminable
because there are more than 30 times
as many people to keep it up. md
the situation is still further compli-
Gated by jangle between the mill
tary authorizes and the civil commits
sion, with hints already that President
Roosevelt may find it necessary to I'M
do all the commission has done.
Fitting in well with this is the news
that the rcconcentrado policy of starry
ing the natives into submission is be
ing effectively carried out in Samar
where Gen. J. H. Smith is represented
by the dispatches as having refused
the requests of heads of towns to be
allowed to issue rice to their suffering
townspeople This is not war: it is
determination, wrote President Nc
Kinley about the same sort of thing
in Cuba. The truth is that such
things come easily and almost log
ically when one people set out to con
uuer another, with the British in
South Africa and the Yankees in the
PHILIPPINES almost as readily as
the Spaniards in Cuba. Reconcentra-
tiUn is necessarily in its nature
a policy of horrors almost murder
Gus. The British and American
application of it is better than the
Spanish only because it does not nee
essarily include starvation with the
other horrors.

The new Isthmian canal treaty was
signed at Washington Monday by Sec
rotary Hay and Minister Pauncefote.
It's contents are not officially made
known yet, though the agreement
seems to be a brilliant diplomatic tri-
umph for Ambassador Choate who has
been engaged in the negotiation at
London all summer. Britain seems to
have surrendered every essential point
desired by this country, as indicated
by the senate amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. The Clayton-Bul
wer treaty is superseded, the United
States is made the sole guarantor of
the waterway, and even the right to
fortify the canal and use it for mill
tary purposes in time of war is left,
by clear inference, with our govern
ment.

Postmaster General Smiths report
will call for a S6,000,0O0 appropriation
for the extension of rural mail deliv-
cry, instead of the 50, 800, 900 for the
current year. The success of the sys-
tenn is outstripping the expectations
of its most sanguine advocates when
it was adopted. The Department be
lieved then that it would add $50, 600,
600 year to the expenses of the pos
tai service. Instead it is more than
paying for itself, by the increase of
receipts by the sale of stamps when
the mail is brought to the farmers
door, and by the abolition of fourth
class offices and star route service. In
other words the new service is found
to cost but little more than the old
while the revenues are much increased.

the famous French astronomer, and
Miss Elizabeth Brown, whose death
has been recently deplored. In spec

research excellent work has been done
by Lady Higgins, wife Of the famous
astronomer, Sir William Higgins, X.

Misses Maury, Wells and LELAND, at

Among French women who assist

Women as Insurance RIsks.

M. NJ, Danforth says that the investl-

ston Fox showed that as a rule the
female risks, If as carefully selected,
would be even preferable to male ap-
plicants. AS to the dangers incident
to the child-bearlDg period, they are
far less important as affecting the in
surance risk than are those conditions
of mental strain and worry incident to
business, or the eXactlons Of alcoholic
eXcesses and designations so much
more common in the male applicant,
1t has been stated that women are
more apt than men to conceal impor-
tant facts, but this the author denies,

women are more likely than men to
