CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says. THE Missouri Democrats
go on record in favor of municipal
ownership. Municipal ownership has
been in operation a long time in St.
Louis. The municipality owns and
runs the City Council, about the worst
conducted institution in the state"

says: I'VE always knew that this
country was a pretty good sort of a
place to live in, and now we are
pleased to see that MessrS. Gaynor and
Greene have been moved to set an APP
prisal on the privilege. They are will
ing to pay 100000 to get back and no
questions asked
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
THE true story of the business career
of John w. Gates, as told by himself,
shows that he got his start as a cap
italist by manufacturing barbed wire,
which is one of the industries especial
Iyz selected by the government for IA
vor under the tariff. Taking advan-
tage of this legislation, Mr.. Gates was
not long in transferring himself from
a travelling salesman, in which he was
earning 500 per month, to the million
aire class, in which he has made him.
self conspicuous as a speculator and
plunger. The obvious. although per-
haps not the best, lesson for young men
in all this is that the short cut to
wealth in this country is to be found
under the shelter of a law of some
kind which will place their fellow cit
liens under contribution. to them.
While the majority of people seem to
think otherwise. it is not remarka BILE
that many men are made suddenly and
vastly rich by the protective tariff The
only wonder is that there are not more

The army and the navy are pitted
against each other in the maneuvers
that are to be carried out by the ships
il. mock warfare against the coast de
fehses during the summer. The navy
must make attacks and the forts on
the coast must be prepared for de
fense, or the navy will score against
them. 1t is said that the army has a
surprise in store for its mock antago-
pist in the shape Of a magnetic ball
ance," a delicate instrument that will
unerringly indicate the approach of q
heavy steel ship within fifty miles OF
its location. The details of the instru-
ment are kept secret by the army, but
it is known to be a magnetic apparatus
which, when placed in the water, will
indicate the approach of any mass of
steel within the radius named. 1t can
be so arranged that the thin metallic
sides of merchant vessels will not af-
feet it, but when the heavily armored
warships come within the range of its
sensitiveness it will not only make
that fact known but point with a
reedle to the direction from which the
enemy" is approaching. That being
true, the navy will find it very diff
ficult to surprise the army.

HAS MORGAN MADE A FAILURES

The impression prevails in London
and in New York that j. Pierpont
Morgan's effort to combine all the
steamship lines of the Atlantic plying
between American and European ports
has failed. 1t is true that Mr.. Nor
CAMS agents say that the situation
is unchanged from what it was sew
eral weeks ago, but there are signs
that such is not the case. For in
stance, it is said that Che Dominion
line has resumed independent opera
ton, and several of the other lines
that were in the combination are MAX
ing freight rates on their own account.
The report is that Mr. Morgan's
American backers-the syndicate that
was to furnish the money necessary to
carry out the deal-became alarmed
at the threats of British capitalists
to build competing lines, and at the
prospect of hostile legislation. 1t will
of course be known in a few days
whether the undertaking has fallen
Through or not.
The opinion has been expressed by
1
interests of the Atlantic that the Nor
gan scheme is impractical for the rea-
son that its success requires freedom
from hostile legislation and high
freight rates, neither of which can be
obtained 1t is claimed that If the COM
bination had been formed legislative
action against it would have been TAX
ha
line high freight rates could not have
been depended upon. A big price, it
seems, was offered for that line, but
as far as known a deal was not made.
Even If a deal had been made it Is
about certain that rival lines would
have been established. British capital
lists were already figuring on the cost
of new steamers.
The thought was thrown out that
on account of the reduction in the
cost of operation it would be possible
to make big profits without increasing
rates, but the cost of operation could
not have been reduced very much,
while the capitalization of the pro-
posed combination was enormous.
1t is said that the amount that was
to be paid for the White Star line was
several hundred per cent. above it's
capitalization. 1t is not to be Won
dered at that the men who We're to
furnish the money for the scheme be-
came alarmed.
This failure of Mr.. Morgan will have
dampening effect upon his prestige
1t is a question if in future he will
find it so easy to carry through his
schemes as he has in the past. In
vestors will not regard him as infalli-
BILE. 1t is fact that although the
great steel trust is paying large
dividends upon its enormous capital
ization it's stock is selling away be-
low par. If there were implicit con-
fidence in it the stock would be at par

THE FHENCH SCHOOL RIOTS


Premier Combes of France. in the
course OF speech the other day on the
subject of the new law of associa-
TONS" the enforcement of which was
recently attended with rioting. gives
an insight into the reason for the en-
actment of the law and the vigor with
which it is being put into execution.
M. Combes said, in part, that the gov
eminent was resolved, supported as it
was by a majority in both houses, to
make the spirit of revolution trium-
plant in the matter of religious policy;
that the ma jority would not allow it
self to be broken up by legal quib-
bles, for such a disruption would en-
tail the irremendiable bankruptcy of
the Republican party.
And so, at the bottom of the whole
matter is politics. The new law was
passed as a means of keeping the
present government in power. 1t was
alleged, as an argument in favor of the
passing of the associations bill, that
many of the religious associations, I'M
der the auspices of priests and monks
and sisters, were either monarchist or
government in politics; that they
taught the pupils of their schools mon
archist as against republican doc
trines; that the associations, or COM
munities, raised funds for political
purposes and fomented agitations det-
rimental to the peace of the country.
1t was even asserted that the stability
of the republic was threatened. 1t
seems from Premier Combes' speech
that the majority in the government is
looking out first for the Republican
party, and then for the republic.
During a single week recently 135
church schools were closed by the gov
eminent. In some cases it is alleged
force was used. One instance in par
ticular has been cited, in which the
sisters were forced to leave the NUM-
cipality under military escort the same
day they were notified that they were
under the ban of the law. A consid-
cradle number of the prescribed as
sociations have left France rather than
submit to the terms of the new law,
which requires the filing of full
declaration. and inspections by gov
eminent officers. Some have gone to
Spain and others to England and
Switzerland. 1t is worthy of note that
Protestant England has been found by
these Catholic societies to be more lib
eral than France. Meanwhile it can
not be successfully questioned that a
large proportion of the French people
desire education separated from reli-
gion, and politics from both; still,
there are numerous parents in France,
as elsewhere, who claim. a right to
have their children educated where
and by whom they please.

DO Scotch whisky and golf go to-

plates the marked increase in the sale

the Golden Gate. Some say he OBJ

1-cs is surely grievous accusation
to bring against the royal and ancient
game. : 1t has long been a moot point
in negro young mems societies and de-
I batting associations whether in the
scheme and scale of creation the hen
preceded the egg or the egg preceded
tn hen. And here is question like un-
to it: Is whisky the inevitable conse-
quent of golf, or is golf one of the
many results of whisky? Both are es-
sentially Scotch. The one is con-
sumed by, the other is played by, the
sons of Scotia. The one not infre-
quently besets violent action, the other
is productive of strong language. In
both the tendecy is largely developed
to use up the dictionary. Both have
the essentially Scottish faculty of find
ing their way all over the world But,
while these and many like things are
so, 1t is still not entirely clear that.
