Perhaps there Is no building in the
world that is more famous than the
Parthenon at Athens. 1t stands on the
Acropolis, a grand ruin that men have
admired for centuries. 1t has served as q
great store house Of treasures to be
iilled by all the nations, And now
the international Archaeological Con-
gress that will soon assemble In
Athens win suggest that Il be restored,
and Greece will ask the return to her
OF architectural fragments that now
rest in the various museums Of Europe,
Perhaps the most extensive and
precious collection Of these Is that now
In the British museum and known as
the Elgin marbles. Lord Elgin coll
lected them while British ambassador
to Constantlnople, They cost him ESQ.,
900 and the British government finally
purchased them from him for e36, 0OO
His action In removing them from
Athens has been severely condemned,
and some have questioned their artistic
value, BE this as It may, they are
among the great treasures Of the Brit
ish museum. and II Is very doubtful
II they would be surrendered at the
request Of Greece, even when the
question of the restoration of the
Parthenon Is involved. Most antigua
rlans and artists are very much averse
to the restoration OF statuary or great
architectural monuments. They will
lie Mortified at the thought Of restoring
the Parthenon. And yet ii may be
done.

Besides, in all probability China hides
literary treasures OF high value and
antiquity. These can never be brought
to light until scholars shall have set
out to search for them. Chinese tradl-
ton counts the dynasties Of the coun-
try far beyond the limits Of western
history, In that tradition there must
be much Of great scientific worth, The

A FARMERS TRUST.

In these times OF trusts and comblna-
tons. It Is not surprising to hear OF
propositions for gigantic union Of
farmers for the purpose Of controlling
the prices of farm products The sug-
geston was made a few days ago by
Mr.. George II. Philips, ct a banquet
given at the West Hotel. Chicago, by
the National Grain Growers associa-
ton.
The speaker thought that the 100000
farmers OF the country might combine
for that purpose. He suggested that
the government tax the farmer one
cent bushel on his corn crop, and
with the money thus raised build ele-
vators in which to store hundred
million bushels OF corn and pay forty
cents for It, With the government
ready 10 pay that price, the farmer
could borrow 80 cents from any bank,
If he needed money and thus be In a
position to carry the surplus for seven
years, II need be-
In addition to this, he thought the
farmers ought TO have a bank with
capital of from s25,OO0,OOO to $50 1000, 900,
This bank would loan money to any
stockholders within few cents Of the
market price Of the corn he would, un-
der present conditions, have to sell at
any price offered In order to meet his
yearly obligations. This would enable
him to carry his corn one or two or
even three years, II the price did not
suit or the conditions were not such
as to warrant the managers Of the
bank advising sale. The speaker said
he had given the subject considerable
thought, and he believed the project to
be entirely feasible.
The suggestions are interesting, as
showing the possibilities Of combined
effort But the practical execution Of
such plans is widely different from the
outlining OF them in speech or writing.
Still, the tendency Of our time is to-
ward combinations for united action.
The old competitive system. In which
individual met individual Is rapidly
giving way for one in which union
opposes union, and the individual Is in
danger of being crushed between them,
Upon the prosperity Of the farmers
depends to a large extent the pros
perlty Of the country, and anything of
a practical nature that can be devised
for the purpose OF rendering prices of
farm products less subject to fluctua-
ton, should be for the advantage Of
every branch OF business and indus

TALKING ABOUT LYNCHlNG.
Sam Francisco ChronIcle.

1t appears that the number engaged
in the Mogoc lynchings did not exceed
fifteen, all OF whom are now known
and yet 1t 10 freely predicted that as
the result OF perjured witnesses and
timid or sympathizing jurors not one
viii ever be convicted. We trust that
this prediction Will prove false Al
ready this state Is suffering in repu-
tation as the result OF what is correct
ly described as the most brutal and
causeless butchery ever perpetrated In
America. One eastern exchange points
out that not even In the South or In
Kansas did a mob ever murder any
one who was not even charged with
crime much, II any, above the grade OF
a misdemeanor. We know, but II Is
hard to make eastern people under
stand, that this crime was committed
in one OF the most lawless and sparsely
settled regions of America, whose few
inhabitants have only nominal con
nectlon with California. or any other
civilized state They were originally OF
bad stock, and seem reverting TO saw
agery, but they are within the legal
boundaries Of this state, which must
bear the odium OF their bloodthirstiness
unless the law-abidlng people who CON-
prise the great majority Of the popula-
ton OF Modoc county see TO 1t that
justice does not miscarry.

RELIGIONS OF THE WORLDS
The following figures are from the
North American Review

The following figures are from the
North American Review;
Besides n number OF minor sects,
such as the Abyssinlans, the Copts, the
Armenians, the HISTORIANS and the
Jacobites, numbering In all four or five
millions, we have three grand divisions
of Chrlstendom-the Holy Orthodox
Greek church. with $4,000 900 OF adj
herents the Protestant churches, with
an aggregate of 143, 900 900, and the Ro-
man Catholic church, with 100000 O0.
No statistics are at hand showing the
relative growth Of the number OF adj
herents of these three great divisions.
But the growth of the populations UNI
der their rule is thus set forth by COM
parlson: The Roman Catholics. In the
year 1900. were ruling over SO,O0O,O00 Of
people In 1900, over 90000,000, and In
1891, over $4,000, 600. The Greek Cath
ollcs, in 1900. were governing 100000;
in 100, $4,000 600, and In 1891, l2sOOO,0OO'
The Professionals, In 1900, had not begun
10 be; In 100. they held sway over 3d.
100000, and In 1891 over 52O,0O00OO, In
the four centuries, the political power
OF the Roman Catholics has more than
trebled, that Of the Greeks has been
multiplied Dy SIN ana tnat OF lHS lTOt-
estants has sprung from nothing to a
control Of one-thrd OF the worlds
population. II is easy to see which
Of these grand divisions Is expanding
most rapidly. More important and
more difficult Is the question concerning
the intellectual and moral progress OF
these three great sections OF Chrlsten-
dom"
1t should be remembered however,
that while the Protestant division
presents large total, 1t is so broken up
into fractions that no single subdivision
has any numerical strength at all com
parable to It's competitors. The num-
bers would also be considerably re-
duced, should all who are at heart athe-
lists and agnostcs be eliminated from
the tables of statistics. And in all
probability that class is more numer-
Gus among the Protestants than among
the other churches
