Robert Fitzsimmons, in retirement,
has a chance to look over the other
heavyweight pugilists with a cool
head. While he was In Jersey City
a reporter asked him what he thought
of the proposed battle between JEFF

"Jeffries ought to. win," said the
former champion, because he is the

Why Secretary Gage blundered by
raising the question of Russian sugar
never know. That Judge Morris, of the
United States district court of Maryland,
knew the reason and framed his receIE
decision to fit the demand, need not be
questioned
The United States statute providing for
a countervailing duty on sugar from all
countries paying an export bounty is SO
clear that one would think that a court
decision was hardly necessary. Russia
pays no bounty, either in name or in fact
This is made evident not only by the dec
larations of Russia but by the decision
of the court, which holds that, although
Russia does not pay bounty, it does
something just as good. By what right
United States court reads into law
words and intents that are not there does
not appear on the face of the returns.
And by what right a United States court
CONSTITUTES a Russian law is equally OBJ
seure. But so it is and so it will remain,
until the supreme court either reverses=
or afirms the decision of the lower court
In the meantime incalculab1e damage has
been done our commerce with Russia.
To show how insignificant is this sugar
bounty question, when compared with it's
effect on our export trade, we have but
to remember that all of Europe outside
of Great Britain, France, Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary, and the Netherlands, fur
nished the United States less than. l
per cent of the sugar used. Russia dur
ing the year preceding the imposition of
the coantervailfng duty furnished less
than $4,000 worth of sugar-not enough
to have any effect upon the price of the
commodity in the United States. If this
decision of Judge Morris that the re-
moval of the tax on export sugar by the
Russian government, is as good as
bounty, then, is our tariff impositions Sc
curing to our commodities a high price in
the home markets while allowing the ex-
porter to go abroad and sell his wares for
much less price, as good as a bounty

good deal has been said about the
unwfsdom of interference or control by
any outside body with the educational
Institutions of the state within certain
well defined limitations. The position
taken in this regard is correct But really
there has been no such question at issue
The only question to be settled is, what
are the powers and responsibilities in
vested in the state board of control? If
that law is sufficiently far-reaching to
take from the educational institutions the
prerogatives which all of us are agreed
should belong to them absolutely, it is
so far of evil tendency, and should be
changed.
This, no doubt, is the position taken by
the normal board people, and they are
worthy of public APPROVAL in making its
judicial settlement imperative They be-
lieve the law, does not sanction the inva-
sion of what they believe to be their
rights which has resulted from the ac-
ton of the board of control No eompro-
mise already made will stand if it is not
consistent with the decree OF our highest
state court.

rect bounty is paid or whether conpeti-
ton is kept out by prehibitive wall.
Judge Morris employs logic that will
come home to roost when least expected.
Should ship subsidy bill be passed,
granting to certain lines government aid,
based upon export tonnage, it will be Just
as good as bounty unless it is intended
for the benefit of the ship companies and
not for the exporter According to this
Maryland Daniel. anything which assists
a producer, whether it be a removal Of
an established tax, protection from out
side competition, bonus given to the
ocean carrier, or franchise for an In
dustrial trust, is as good as a govern
ment bounty
Coming back to Secretary Gage and his
probable motives in picking this quarrel
with Russia, the case seems still more
mysterious when we note that no indus
try in the United States is in danger of
Russian competition, but on the contrary
our most important manufactures look
to Russia for a profitable and constantly
growing market. The only reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of the action of the secretary
and the judge is that the sugar interest
had sufficient pull to induce these two
men to make a test case of the Russian
situation in order to establish preee-
dent. Under this decision every nation
except England will be the subject to a
eountervailing duty equal to the aid
given the sugar growers, no matter in
what form.
This is one of those cases where the en-
gineer is liable to be hoist by his own
petard

VIII NOT 1HTERFERE.

The conservative forces of the Episco-
pal faith have won the fight on the SUBJ
ject of marriage and divorce. The pro-
posed amendments to the accepted canons
OF the church on the subject of marriage
and its solemnization have been defeated
The conclusion is, of course, that the
church refuses to sanction the inhibition
of marriage on the part of any member
of the communion who has a wife or hus-
band living.
The attitude of the Episcopal church
on this general subject has been the
cause of much public discussion for many
years past. The action taken at San
Francisco comedies with that sanctioned
at the last triennial conference. There is
no controlling disposition to follow the ex-
ample of the Roman Catholic church, at
least in this regard. The decision reach
ed viii have an important bearing OH
the legislation of the country on the SUBJ
ject thus disposed of.
The action thus taken is substantially
equivalent ito declaring that there is
nothing IN the practice of the civil
authorities in relation to marriage which
is regarded unfavorably by the Episcopal
church. 1t may not be taken as ratifying
the loose system of marriage and divorce
authorized by the laws of many of the
states; but it must inevitably operate to
methods more difficult
1t is. no doubt, not particularly difficult
to reconcile the action of the San Fran
cisco conference with considerations OF
wisdom from the purely ecclesiastical
standpoint. A negative position, such as
that assumed, is likely to be followed by
less of friction than an affirmative posi-
ton, favoring either or both of the pro-
posed amendments. No minister of any
faith can hesitate in believing that it is the
duty of the Christian ministry, of what
ever denomination, to use their influence
to prevent the loose marriages which the
law sanctions If there were proper pre-
the solemnization of marriage by either
! civil or ecclesiastical authority, save I'M
der proper restrictions, there would soon
be serious lessening in the number of di-
vorces. To this end the ministers of the
several churches can do a great deal
more than can be accomplished by any
other agency.
But it is made palmer now than it has
been at any former time that whatever
needed reforms are effected in the laws
of the several states bearing on the en-
trance of the people into the matrimonial
state must come from outside the church
It is not likely that any other church will
dc that which the Episcopalian has again
refused to do.

The disposition which is shown by the
Omaha authorities to promote the ac-
ceptance of the proposal supposed to
have been made by the man Grove,
charged with kidnapping, will meet with
general commentator
It has been made quite plain by Grove
that his capture cannot be accomplished
by the police. His offer to return and
stand trial, whatever its motive, is
worthy of acceptance. The conditions he
prescribes are easy of acceptance. In
deed, if any negotiations on the part of
the public authority with a man in such
a position were allowable under any cir
cGmstanees, they are in this case The
withdrawal of the reward is commend
able in itself. No one can commend the
thought of paying a reward, either pub
lie or private, to anyone instrumental in
having the surrender of the accused car
Fied out. The offer, if it is made at all,
is evidently made in good faith. If Grove
were not acting in good faith, assuming
that he has made the offer imputed to
him, it would not seem difficult for him
to make an arrangement to share in the
The reduction of the bail is, after all,
an, unimportant requirement. If he re-
turns and is admitted on $500 bail he can
be kept under effective surveillance by
the authorities. His trial, too, can be
brought on at once. The result whatever
it is, will be satisfactory to the public.
Grove is entitled to a fair trial, and he
will receive it. There will be no assump-
trial of one of his supposed confeder-
ates shows that in the selection of a
jury popular prejudice is not likely to
operate to his disadvantage.
One good result of the commission of
the crime with which Grove stands
charged is that it has wrought public SEN
timent in many of the states to enacting
punitive laws which are sufficiently severe
to meet barbaric crimes of this general
nature. The case of Miss Stone, now held
in ransom by foreign brigands, shows that
such crimes have their origin purely in
robbery, and that their. commission i'm
plies a state of society in which the
rights of the individual are without any
proper safeguard.
If Grove surrenders himself and is con-
victed and sentenced under the law, the
moral effect will be worth great deal

self. When it arrived there the lot was
held for duty, the Philippines being for
eign territory for such purposes. Hobson
was baked, but he made a declaration
that the stuff was government property
and not subject to duty. Here he came
up against an explanation as to how he
got this government property and by
what right he was shipping it to his
native state. And there the matter lies.
The ceremonies which were arranged for
the reception of the war relics had to be
postponed indefinitely and Hobson lost a
fine opportunity to advertise himself. 1t
may be remembered that Hobson was
and is a pet of Sampson. 1t seems that
he has absorbed that worthy's penchant
