The Uses Of Public Parks.

There IS disposition just now among
some Of the New Workers who write 10
the papers, and some of the saffron
journalists OF that city, to abuse park
commissioners for enforcing the rule
that people must keep off the grass and
refrain from gathering flowers. The
objection TO the enforcement of this
regulation seems to be based on the
fact that flowers and grass are the Gre
alton Of God, and that children and
other people have natural right to
them.
There is considerable balderdasn and
bombast in this sort Of argument, and
Il would hardly be worth noticing but
for the tendency that it has to convince
the ignorant that there Is no such thing
as law and order It is Iamentably true
that all people do not possess the pow
CT Of Directing false logic.
The flowers, trees. and grass which
grew on Manhattan Island when the
Indians owned il undoubtedly were the
sole product OF nature. for the Indian
did not plant or cultivate them. and
they cost nothing. There would have
been no sense IN passing laws against
gathering them, OF sitting on the grass.
or taking up claim anywhere and
building a house, for that matter. The
English game laws. and the action Of
absentee landlords in Scotland, in turn
ing out the crofters and foresting their
estates are open 10 objection on some
such grounds as those on which the
New York sentimentaiists base their
exclamatOns-oHe can hardly say argu-
ments in this case. When land is need
ed for the support Of human beings, it
IS certainly morally wrong TO deprive
them Of their homes merely TO afford
ones self amusement for two or three
months Of the year, and, perhaps, after
a few more centuries of adjustment.
what IS morally wrong may also be. in
every case, legally wrong. When pre-
served game destroys the crops of the
farmer, and rents are so high that he IS
unable TO procure food for his family,
he can hardly be blamed for poaching
His action is legally a sin. but not NOR
ally 50 except as II tends to weaken the
general power Of law.
But this New York park business is
an entirely dlIerent matter The parks
of New York or Washington or any
other city are for the benefit Of the
public, Of the poor more than any other
class Of the community. The rich man
does not need any parks. He can afford
u have his coantrz home, or a house
with park Of its own around it That,
in this country, most rich men living in
the city have no grounds around their
mansions, and that the open spaces are
Haialy public parks. is q good thing in
itself.
One would think that any fool would
be able to see that in a city Of two or
three million people il would be inpos-
sible to allow anyone who wished 10 sit
on the grass, pluck flowers. or gather
any growing thing It would not take
month, at thai rate. for the park to
be as barren as the desert Of sahara.

FRAUD oRDERs ISSUED.
a Chicago Annuity Company Denied
the Use of the Mails.

The Postmaster General today issued a
fraud order against the State Mutual Life
Annuity Company, of Illinois, directing
the postmaster at Chicago TO refuse the
delivery Of all mail to the representatives,
of this concern. and also, in accordance
with the law, to return the mail that
came to the senders thereof or TO the
Dead Letter Office when the senders were
not known.
This concern, It is alleged, is one of nu-
merous so-calIed bond-investment compa-
MES which sprang up within the last two
or three years in various parts of the
country and which as a class have here
tofore been condemned by the depart
ment, and in several instances by the
courts when brought before them In
conformity with the custom. the officers
of this concern were notified to appear
and show cause why this order should
not be issued. Appearance was made by
the president of the company, who dis
Cussed its affairs in detail with the re-
suit that a fraud order was issued. 1t is
condemned as a lottery and also as
scheme devised for the purpose of OBJ
tanning money under fraudulent represen-
tatiOnS.

That Trust Investigation.

From the Philadelphia North Ameriean)
Washington winked the other eye today when
II read that the Department OF Justice was go
ing to investigate the trusts. The Old hands at
politics shifted around the information suspi-
ciously and then gave it as their opinion that it
would not be well to treat the threat too ,eri-

as to the result. he has been casting about for
some hot stuff in the way 81 issues The trust
crusade has. it Is believed, struck him as some
thing that might be effectively utilized The
Standard OIL Trust has long been subject upper
most in the minds Of the people Of Ohio They
are tired OF it. and have tried TO shake il of by
means Of legislation that would prevent il
operating within the state The information that
the trusts were to be proceeded against came from
an official Of the Department Of Justice who IS
also citizen Of Ohio, and putting two and two
together the matter LOOKS little questionable.

The deIicacy Of the financial situation
IN Germany IS further emphasized by the
failure Of the Leipziger Bank, and the
uneasy feeling that prevails throughout
Saxony in consequence. The forced sus-
pension OF the Seventh National Bank in
New York also has its moral. It is sug-
gestive of the enormous extent TO which
credit has been expanded during recent
years and the danger Of carrying such
expansion TOO far Credit is a good thing
and a most useful agent in business, but
it must be dicreetIy handled Every great
panic that ever wrought ruin in the
financial world came from the undue ex-
tension Of credits.

The Barker case recently tried in New
Jersey was in every way a peculiar one.
While the action of the court in excIud-
ing evidence Of the alleged assault upon
Barker's wife is generally upheld there
is at the same time considerable sympa-
