I'm the opinion of Speaker
Henderson, the debating society
should be an important factor in the
training of young man. He says that
one of the most desirable things about
regular debate is that the speakers are
forced to read extensively and study
deeply. Henderson owes a great deal
of his own success to the debating So
ciety, and even in his youthful days
he was a leader among youthful de-
baters, who assembled to discuss the
questions of the day.
Col Arthur Lynch, who has been
elected to Parliament from Galway
CITY, is about 40 years old and was
born in Australia. He was educated
at Melbourne University. and, after
earning a living as mathematical
master, took service in the engineers
department of the Victorian Railways.
Ultimately he became a journalist, and
when the war broke out in South At
RIGA he was first engaged as CORE
spondent for a Paris newspaper. He
acted for some time as Paris CORE
spondent for half-penny London
morning paper. He contested Galway
in 1892. but was defeated by Mr.. Pink
! erton the anti Parnellite candidate.

THE CARNEGIE BONDS.

Mr.. Carnegie must have been sur
prised when he received notice that the
President and cabinet had some hest
tation in accepting gilt-edged, United
States Steel Corporation bonds for the
great university which he proposes to
establish in Washington. We stated
the other day that he had offered $1O,-
DOC, 900 for the establishment of a uni
versity, and that he had asked the
government. to take charge of the
money-to act as the trustee of it.
There was nothing stated at that time
respecting the character of the securi-
ties which he intended to turn over to
the government. Perhaps the President
and the cabinet did not know then
that he intended to offer bonds
of the billion dollar trust company.
The bonds are good, of course-just
as good perhaps as government bonds
but the President is in doubt wheth
er Congress would be willing for the
government to accept as trustee, bonds
of a trust There is no doubt that he
is right in raising this question on the
very threshold of such a transaction
as that proposed by Mr.. Carnegie. The
latter is, of course, acting in good
faith, but the government would be in
a rather awkward position if it should
become necessary for it to prosecute
the United States Steel Corporation
for violations of the antitrust laws.
OF course, Congress would have to
be consulted before the government
could become the trustee of the bonds,
and it is practically certain that there
would be objection to trust bonds as
soon as the matter was brought UP in
either the House or the Senate. 1t
might be said that Mr.. Carnegie was
trying to purchase the acquiescence of
the government in the trusts illegal
acts. 'Tkere is no doubt that the intro
duction of /the matter into Congress
would bring on very lively debate. 1t
would be a debate of the kind that
the President and the Republican
leaders do not want at this time.
The Presidents suggestion therefore
was timely and appropriate, namely,
that Mr.. Carnegie sell his bonds for
cash, and turn the money over to the
government It is question whether
he will look upon the suggestion with
favor. He may regard it as a. reflection
on the United States Steel Corporation.
Besides, the money could not be so
safely invested as 1t is now, and at
the same time be made to yield any
where near as large an income. Now
the 100000 900 yields 100000 a year. If
invested in government 4 per cents. it
would not yield more than $2SO,OOO a
wear

Had Fun with CuIIom,

A few days ago. says the Washing
ton Post, Senator Cullom of Illinois
was credited with remarking upon the
righteousness of President Roosevelt,
who, as is well known. does not hest
tate to speak loudly while holding con-
ferences with his visitors.
Yesterday morning Mr. Cullom went
to the White House. AS soon as he
appeared in the Presidents reception
room the President saw him and walk
ed over to him. With much solemnity,
Mr. Cullom took Mr.. Roosevelt over
into a corner of the room and whisper
ed inaudibly into his ear for fully five
minutes. The President listened with
smiling countenance.
IAN right. Senator" he said in a
loud voice when Mr.. Cullom had final
ly concluded his confidential communi-
cation. Nobody shall ever hear what ]
say TO you in the future"
"But how about this particular mat
ter?" queried the anxious Senator.
The President put his finger to his
lips. "Sh-u-u-h!" he whispered. mot
a word Somebody might hear u.s.
And so the Senator went away. He
does not know yet what the President
might have said.

. Some of the Northern newspapers
are specializing upon the probability of
a duel between the South Carolina
senators. Their anxiety is based upon
Senator McLaufin's exclamation the
other day: Il am perfectly willing to
meet him CTillman) anywhere, in any
place, at any time and in any wav."
But our Northern contemporaries need
have no fear. There will not be any
duel, except by word Of mouth or pen.
The South Carolina laws against duel
ling are very severe, involving loss Of
civil rights along with other penalties
Besides, so far as the information
goes, neither party to the controversy
has a reputation as a fighter of the
physical sort, Notwithstanding many
opportunities offered during the heat
of their campaigns.

Nine. Lillian Nordica, the prima
donna, who is shortly to make tour
Of the South and is expected to visit
this city, has placed in the hands of
ex-speaker Thomas B. Reed a claim
against the government for an amount
between $4,000. 900 and $4,000,OOO. which
she says is due her as the direct de-
'scendant of Ichabod Norton. Nine.
Nordica's family name is Norton. 1t
appears that her ancestor, Ichabod'
was a wealthy New England shipowner
during the Revolutionary War. Sew
eral of his ships and their cargoes
were captured and confscated by the
French government. The government
of the United States is said to have
collected an indemnity for these seiz-
ures. but the money thus collected has
never been paid over to the heirs of
the said Ichabod Norton.

STANDING IN THEIR OWN LIGHT.

British workmen are making mis-
take in opposing the introduction of
labor saving machines. In our dis
patches yesterday it was stated in a
London cable that at Northampton
there was almost a riot in progress be-
cause a manufacturer of shoes had in
troduced into his factory new lasting
machines The operatives threw stones
at the factory and finally decided to
strike unless the machines were, taken
out
1t seems that British workmen gen
orally are opposing labor saving ma
chimes, and at the same time they
are demanding higher wages for a.
smaller amount of work They do not
seem to realize that they standing
in their own light-that they are only
injuring themselves. If Great Britain
does not manufacture as cheaply as
other nations she will lose her trade
in foreign markets. Not only that, but
her manufacturers will lose their home
trade. The people will buy that which
is cheapest. other things being equal.
American shoes are gradually taking
the place of English shoes in London
and other cities of England, and the
same thing is happening in respect to
other articles.
The other day the London Times
stated that trade unions were doing
England incalculable damage. 1t point
ed out that thirty years ago a brick
layer laid 1900 bricks a day. Twenty
years ago 1000 bricks were held to be
days work. Now the union brick
layers will lay only 400 bricks a day
when working on private contracts and
$50 when working on public buildings.
The unions say that they want to give
work TO greater number of people
and at the same time bring up prices
of labor. 1t is evident that what they
are doing is proving the ruin of British
workmen.
