THE SILK WORM IN THE SOUTH.
An Experiment. in Silk Culture in
south Carolina.

CHARLESTON S. c., May 3-The
domesticarion of the silk worm is to be
attempted in this State. The experiment
is being made by Duke de Litta, who has
an extensiveJ silk farm in southern Italy.
On visit to this city several years ago
he conceived the idea of establishing
farm here. and on his return to Italy he
sent a number of young mulberry trees,
which were planted on q large tract of
land that he had bought for the purpose
about twenty miles from this city.
The rapidity with which the trees have
grown and developed has convinced the
nobleman of the correctness of his opin-
ion on the adaptability of the climate
and soil. and he is now about to spend
considerable money In carrying his plans
into effect Recently a special variety
of mulberry cuttings was sent here from
the Italy farm and grated on the stumps
of the old trees. these new cuttings being
better suited for the feeding OF the
worms. but less hardy of growth. The
success which has attended the growing
of these trees has led to an extension of
the farm. and word has been received
here that Duke de Litta will come to
Charleston next fall with a number OF
peasants from his estate prepared TO put
his new farm into operation.

Causes of Race Deeeneracy.

In the second of his series of articles
on the subject of race degeneracy, the
President of Stanford University takes
the ground that war is the greatest
cause of such an evil, because ii takes
the best men of one generation and kills
them off, leaving only the unworthy to
carry on the work of ihe people. He
believes this to be the reason why, after
a period of great military brilIiancy,
there is apt to be weakness.
Like other generalizations which in
clude only about half the truth, this
one may easily be disputed. 1t is true,
OF course. that if a war is great enough
to cali out the best men of the country,
and disastrous enough to kill them off,
the next generation will feel the effects
of IL, but there are a dozen circum-
stances which go to modify this result
In the first place, II is to be doubted
whether war does. in the long run, take
''the best" men. Many Of the best IT
undoubtedly does take, but whether
those who go TO the war are, on an av-
erage, much above those who stay at
home, in the solid virtues which make
a people great, cannot be hastily decid-
ed Again. war in which all the SYM
pathies of the people are engaged stiff
fens and invigorates patriotic feeling
and strengthens and develops charac-
ter. Take. for example, the war be-
tween the North and the South. Nobody
can doubt that the men of the South
and the women were so fired with pa
ts4otism that they exerted a much
stronger influence upon their children
than If they had been sluggish and in
different in character. The South had
en awakening of ideals during that
struggle which in some measure made
up for the loss of life. The same was
true of many Northern States. Yer
mont sent one-tenth of her whole pop
ulation. Of the men who stayed at
home, many would gladly have gone
but for responsibilities which tied them
The same was true of some Of the farm
ing States Of the Middle West. North
ern farmers had no slaves or cverseers
in whose charge they could leave their
farms. and these were divided up into
small holdings. Where the farm fur

family, and could not be carried on
without the supervision of the owner,
the latter often sent substitute rather
than allow his family to starve; but his
character was not less worthy because
ne himself did not go.
IL has sometimes happened that after
a great war there has been a period Of
unprecedented literary brilliancy. and
1t has often been attributed TO the stim-
MUS to popular imagination caused by
the war itself. IL this were so, the
period of American history after the
four years war between the States
should certainly have been exceptional

A CORNER IN LABOR.
window Glass Combinations After
the Cooperative Companfes.


INDIANAPOLIS May 31-The Attor-
ney General of Indiana is investigating
the reported attempt on the part of the
Glass Trust -and-the independent combi-
nation to corner the market in skilled
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Last fall, when the glass factories start
ed the working season which has just
ended, there was a faction in the window
glass workers organization which opposed
President Burns, of l.. A. 300, the window
glass workeEs' branch in the general or
ganization of the knights of Labor. The
result of this difference was the forma-
ton of a new L. A. 800. of which John
Denny is the head For several weeks
there was apparent war between the two
organizations, but this difference seems
to have been ended early last spring, and
Burns and Denny began issuing orders
practically the same. Seemingly. there
was no division of sentiment, although
one side represented trust and the other
the combination of independents.
The strength of the trust has caused
the independents TO organize so closely as
TO be practically one company. They act
as one in the naming of prices and the
regulation of production. Within the last
few paonths, however, many cooperative
companies have Incorporated, and their
success has aroused the trust and the in
dependent combination. Thus the indepen-
dent organization has been forced to work
with the trust, and together they have
been fixing prices and production. The
next movement was to fight the co-opera-
uves and the Independents outside the
pool.
If combination could be arranged be-
tween the two l.. A. zoos and the two
big glass-manufacturing combinations,
the co-operatives and Independents out
side the pool might be forced out of busi-
ness. Such a combination is understood
to have been formed. Apparently the
purpose was to control the output of all
the factories in the country. Since skilled
lahorerS were at a premium il would be
easy to corner the market. The trust and
organized independent plants in the pool
have closed, but The co-operatives refused
to dc So. At this point the heads of the
two l.. A. 3Q0s were called In, and they
notified the co-operatives to close. Some of
them refused. Those organizations were
notified that they would be boycotted and
be driven out of the union. AS a result,
the last Of the companies were reported
closed Wednesday night.
This victory puts the co-operatives and
the independent companies, which are
outside the organization at the mercy OF
the two combinations during the next
working seaSon. The only hope of the
outsiders is in the result of the two
suits now pending against the Glass Trust
or In some action by the State One of
the suits is to restrain the formation
OF the trrst, and the second one is to
dissolve the trust. If the co-operat ton of
the independents In the pool and the trust
could be established, that would give the
co-operatives clear evidence, which would
end the difficulty, but so long as the COM
bination can control the l.. A. zoos, and /,
not be interfered with by the law, the
outside independents are in a bad way.

VANDERBILT APPEAL FILED.
Argument on the Case Will BE De-
Iayed TIL Next Winter

The appeal of William K. Frederick
W., and George w. Vanderbilt, trustees
of the estate of the late William H.
Vanderbilt, from the decision of the
New York Court of Appeals in favor of
Bird S. Coler. Comptroller of New York
City. affirming the assessment of the in
heritance law On certain portions OF that
estate, was filed in the Supreme Court Of
the United States yesterday. The writ
of error was granted by Justice Peck
ham and the case will come up for argu-
ment next winter.
The case is brought TO the Supreme
Court on two constitutional questions
first, the validity of taxing s2.Vo0,0O0 Of
Government bonds forming part of the
estate, which, by the law under which
they were issued, are exempt from
Federal or State tax, and second, that
the trust fund was created prior to the
enactment of the Inheritance law by the
State of New York, which appellants
claim is an impairment of the obligation
of contract between the State and the
beneficiaries of the estate, and therefore
repugnant to the Constitution.

Circulation Statement.
The Mnr in south Africa.

Three columns of South African cas-
ualty lists were published in the Lon
don Times" on Thursday morning, and
as one of the English papers ruefully
remarks, they all appeared to have oc-
CURED in engagements which Lord
Kitchener had not condescended to re-
port The consequence is that the Lon
don and leading provincial press is filled
with protests from all sorts and condi-
tions of people who express their dis
gust in language which must make the
Salisbury Ministry vince.
1t now seems to be evident that the
truth Of the situation in Cape Colony.
the Orange River country, and the
Transvaal has been carefully concealed
during the past two months, and the
idea that the struggle was practically
over as diligently fed out from the
British War Office. Now John Bull
discovers that he has been deluded and
is commensurately ugly over the mat
ter. Hostilities which result in deaths
and wounds sufficient TO fill newspaper
columns every week can no longer be
held out to the British public as unim-
The state of agairs uncovered by the
latest developments would be bad
enough at any time. 1t is more than
bad at this juncture, when the severe
South African winter is about to set in,
and the Beers, who are Injured TO their
tough climate will have their foes at
ffty-fold disadvantage on account of
weather and other physical conditions.
Lord Kitchener himself has admitted
that his men are stale and but a small
proportion of them fit to undertake a
winter campaign in an inhospitable
country in light marching order, as they
must He has begged for reliefs, and
that fresh men should be sent without
delay. But the Government has turned
a deaf ear to his pleas, and perhaps of
necessity. There are no more recruits
TO be had without conscription, and the
expense of any scheme of general relief
for the Jaded soldiers at the front
would prevent resort to il at present
The outcome of it all probably will be
that the war win drag on through the
winter, and when the African spring
comes around again that the British
army viii be found used up and de-
pleted by sickness as well as wounds
and mortality. This is not a pleasant
proposition for either the British Gov
ernment or people to face. Every week
that England's only army or possible
army is confined to South Africs adds
to the dangers which encompass the |
Empire. England's adversely will be |
the opportunity OF more than one Eu- |
ropean State. We are not sure that it !
might not be wisdom on the part of |
Lord Salisbury to descend from his al |

kind. When such a thing does happen,
it may be attributed perhaps to the fact
that the men who stay at home, and
control affairs, are the kind of men who
think and observe, but do not act; and
that in time of peace these men are
generally dominated by the men of ac-
ton. but that with the men of action
out of the way the critics, historians,
and novelists become prominent. If the
civil war had any effect il was that Of
