Hecla, had immense stores of copper on
hand, and the big producers at numerous
other points were carrying an undue guam
tity of metal. AT present the smelters of
this and of all other American copper pro-
ducing districts are shipping their metal as
rapidly as made. The end of the season
of lake navigation will find the local
wharves bare of copper, and there promises
TO be a resumption Of the all-rail consign-
ments noted during the past three winter
seasons. There is no question that u cents
per pound is an unduly low price for the
metal, just as IL cents was unwarrantedly
high, but the past ten months of low prices
have greatly bettered the copper trade by
stimulating consumption, checking produc-
ton in weak quarters and working the ac-
cumulated stock into manufactured articles.
1t is fact, not grasped by some students
of political economy, that hard times
are the periods when any great industry Is
laying the foundation for another era of
prosperity 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no repetition of 17-cent copper, but II is
absolutely certain that higher prices must
soon rule for the metal. The price OF wheat
the world over is made on the Chicago
Board of Trade and in Mark lane London;
the price of cotton Is fixed by the quota
tons made in New Orleans. New York and
changes; but the price of copper is not made
by the metal exchanges of New York and
London. The great bulk of the copper con-
sumed in the United States is sold pri-
vately. by sales agents Of the producers
to the various consumers, and the trans
actions on the New York metal exchange
are mainly speculative, sometimes following
the real market and sometimes tagging in
the rear.

TAXPAYERS AND CHARITIES.
Medical Periodicals. View on Sub.
sidizing Private Institutions.

American Medicine
In the United States the total local and
state aid to private charities amounts at
least to $11,000000 a year. There are only
a few of the States in which the subsidizing
evil is not more or less intrenched. Penn
syvania is the worst of all, nearly 5000, 600
of the public money, more than for all the
rest of the country combined, having been
used in 1901. New York is next. with about
s3,6O0,OOO But in New York it is the city
sylvania it is the State, and the resultant
degradation is general and greatest. Be-
side the wrong to the dependent, ii is q
wrong to the taxpayer and to the general
public. There can be no reform so long as
every influential citizen, interested as he is
in some institution, dare not speak or act
against the boss and the dominant party,
Democratic or Republican.
State appropriations paralyze all indie
pendence and prevent the possibility of
betterment. The boss is euthroned, so that
criticism is uEforgivable lese majestic. The
second most important harm done by this
wholesale bribery is that private benefi-
cence is dried up. When the aid of the
state treasury is so easily secured there
seems to be no need of private charity:
And with the loss of this personal interest
there is the loss of the personal control
which makes any institution of value and
of service to humanity.
When the institution subsidized Is sec
tartan the most fundamental principle of
our government, the separation of church
and state is outraged, and the grant in
such cases could be. and should be, de-
clared unconstitutional. There is no abso-
lutte control by the State of the private
subsidized institutions, twist and misstate
the facts as one will. and without such
control there is no guarantee of honest
management Falsified statistics are often
the means of securing state aid.
Charitable institutions should be wholly
and absolutely supported and managed by
the State or by private individuals.

Harsh Treatment of Sect Known as
the Stundists.

Odessa Novish.
Recently in the Odessa district court was
heard the case of the peasants from the
village of Good Hope Dobraya Nedezhda)-
Hariton and Marie Timoshenko. T. and ].
Vitiukov and others to the number of
twenty persons-accused under Paragraph
g of the penal code.
On Feb. 10 the accused assembled in the
house of III. Timoshenko and were praying
to God. When the police officials entered
the said house they found that one of the
Stundists. T. Vitiukov, was reading the
gospel Akulina Kravchenko was reading
something and was crying, and when asked
to disperse they replied that they would
not dispense until they had finished praying
TO God. The local clergyman testified that
all the accused, with the exception of G.
vitiukov, belong to the sect of Stundists.
Brought into court by the pristav of the
second cantonment. the accused did not ac-
knowledge themselves to be Stundists. The
rural chief of the fourth section of the
Odessa district, Mr.. Emelianov taking into
consideration that the accused are obstin-
ately dsincined TO submit to the direc-
tons of the government which forbid
Stundists to carry out congregational d.
vine service, and that the majority of them
are several times annually called to ac-
count Tor similar onenSeS, sentenced seven
teen of the peasants to a fine of 40 rubles
each, with an alternative. If they were un-
able to meet it, of imprisonment for one
month and a half each. Three of the peas
ants, being orthodox and having accident
ally visited the congregation, were ac-
quilted by the rural chief. few DAYS ago
this case was re-eXamined in the Odessa
district assembly of judges in consequence
of an appeal made by the accused. In their
petition the accused. among other consid-
erations, put forth the plea that freedom of
religion is granted not only to Christians of
foreign persuasions, but also to Hebrews
MohammedanS and pagans; that the fun
damental law Paragraph As Volume /
Part /, of the Law Code) makes no eXcen
tions-everybody praises the Lord God ac-
cording TO his own understanding and CON
science. The opinion pronounced nv the
clergyman, Sandulski, the petitioners find
incompetent, in consequence of his want of
knowledge of the religious dogmas of the
Stundists and the Baptists. Insisting on
their being Baptists, that their meeting.
bore a casual character and that they were
only praying that the Lord bless the dis
tant journey of their relations and fellow
villagers, who were emigrating TO the
province of Orenburg, the accused begged
procureur, in presenting his conclusions m
the court, found it necessary to point o,,t
that the accused were quite within their.
rights in Directing to the orthodox clergy
man as an expert on the subject of StuDd
lists and that other and different exnertc
should be called. The Judges retired and
after ten minutes consultation returned
and confirmed the sentence of the rural
chief.

Sources of Asbestos supply.
Mines and Minerals.


Although asbestos is found in almost
every part of the world, there are, ap-
parently, but two countries which produce
material of the kind of any reat value
They are Italy and Canada. The speci-
mems of asbestos from these countries each
possess the essential properties for manu-
facture, viz, strength. combined with
elasticity, rendering them At for spin
ming or weaving treatment. OF the two
qualities Italian is Of course by far su-
perior the fiber being much longer and
more silky. Asbestos varies somewhat I'm
color, the Italian being of a light brown
tint and Canadian white, while South
African is a rather dark blue. With regard
to the last named kind. its fiber Is about
the same length as that Of the Canadian
quality, but will not resist fire Expert
ments made by the asbestos company with
which l am connected proved that, when
subjected TO great heat, South African
asbestos becomes rotten, which n prob
ably due to the large percentage of iron
and salt it contains. Italian asbestos con-
tains about 50 per cent silicate of mag
nesium and per cent oxide OF iron where
as African asbestos has only about so per
cent. silica and nearly 10 per cent oxide
OF iron. A trifie superior TO Africaa ashes
tos is that found in East Russia. but this
also has proved quite unsatisfactory for
commercial purposes and Is useless to the
manufacturer. Indeed, all asbestos other
than Italian and Canadian is generally too
brittle or stony for use, although Il is pos
sible that some country may give US A good
and useful form of asbestos in the future
as discoveries are constantly occurring.
