CURRENT COMMENT.

The st. Louis Republic (Dem) says:
"A cardinal principle of American
democracy declares in favor of equal
rights of all, special privileges for
none. This principle controls the DEM
ocratic party in the fight against the
trusts and the high tariff. 1t will also
be the peoples slogan in the approach
ing campaigns. The Republican party
itself is working out Republican de-
struction. The trusts the tariff and
the party of the trusts and tariff stand
condemned by the people. A tariff
for revenue only will relieve the people
of the trust burden"
The Washington Post Ond.) says:
"Mr. Cleveland served two terms in
the White House without being able
to demons trate ability to build up and
strengthen his party. Mr.. Bryan had
the Democratic presidential nominal
ton two successive times and was not
even able to secure an election to the
high office. These two gentlemen have
monopolized twenty years of the time
of the Democratic party, bringing moth
ing but chaos and disaster, and it is
not at all strange that there should be
robust sentiment in favor of taking
up new man without regard to their
personal desires or ambitions
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: "The common sense of the mat
ter in the extradition cases against
Benjamin d. Greene and John f. Gay
nor is that these men are guilty of
frauds upon the United States gov
eminent by means of which they Sc
cured over 100000. Their accomplish
Capt. Carter, has been repeatedly tried
and found guilty and is now serving
a term of Imprisonment. Greene and
Gaynor have fed to Canada, with
which country we have an extradition
treaty, and there they apparently are
buying immunity from arrest by means
of their loot and by powerful family
and official influence in the Dominion
The special assistant of the
United States Attorney General makes
what is apparently a very clear expo
sition of the matter. The facts he al
leges are distinctly of serious nature
against the Canadian officials. Unless
they are able to explain away these
grave charges, a great international
scandal will result. The reputation of
prominent Canadian officials for brib-
cry and corruption has not been good
in the past The matter is worthy
of the most serious consideration by
both the colonial government and the
imperial authorities. The Dominion
has no concern in affording refuge for
American criminals, and it must be
personal interests that shield the fugi-
tives from American justice"

Two French professors, Messeurs
Fleury and Fere, who have had long
practice in the hospitals of Paris, an
nounce that love is a disease, and that
ii is caused by a specific bacillus. They
have not yet succeeded in isolating the
germ, but that argues nothing. since
the germs of a number of other vio-
lent diseases have proved elusive not
withstanding every bac-eriologist
knows full well that they exist. Not
only Is love a germ disease, according
to these wise gentlemen, but it is con-
tagious. The bacilli emanate from
the person to be loved and float in the
air. The contagion may be had, in
deed. from holding the hands, or mere
ly being in the presence of the person
throwing off the bacilH. Every per-
son does not fall a victim to germs
from the same source, just as every
person does not fall a victim to con-
sumption, Notwithstanding tuberculo-
sis germs are in the air all the time
all of this is very promising. After
while, naturally, we shall have anti
love serums. The young swain who
would make himself proof against the
fascination of fair maidens will have
only to vaccinate himself with some of
the serum, and the designing mama
who sees her plans going for naught
will need but to inoculate her daughter
on the shoulder to prevent her from
becoming madly in love-with some OBJ
jectionable young jackanapes.

rartment of State was the latter's re-
fusal to comply with Baileys request
that the Mexican government be asked
to set aside a decision of one of its
courts on the ground that it was not
an honest one. -, =
1t is said that the Department OF
State will not take any action on the
report of Mr.. Erwin until it has salts
fed itself that the facts set forth in
the report are substantially correct. 1t
is apparent therefore that it may be
several weeks before the matter is
brought to the attention of the British
government by the Department of
State. Indeed it will not be brought to
its attention at all, unless it is clearly
shown that the statements made by
Mr.. Erwin, as to collision between the
counsel for Greene and Gaynor and the
Dominion officials, are correct.
1t is safe to say that Mr. Erwin will
be able to sustain the position he has
taken, as he is a careful and conserva-
tive lawyer. OF course the story that
he offered to accept 100000 from the
fugitives in full settlement of the case
has no foundation, except in the par
ticular which Mr.. Erwin points out,
namely, that Greene and Gaynor Of
fered to pay the government $500, 900 If
it would dismiss the prosecution. Both
Greene and Gaynor knew that the
government would not settle the case
for that or any other amount. The po-
sition of the government is that the
fugitives are guilty, and that therefore
they must stand trial on the indict-
ment which has been found against
them. If they are innocent the gov
eminent does not want their money. If
they are guilty it will have them pun
ished and will recover whatever part of
the stolen money it can. A compromise
of a criminal case is out of the cues
ton.
The investigation which the Depart
ment of State proposes to make of
Mr.. Erwins charges will show, in all
probability, that the charges have a
substantial foundation. In that event
the case may be still unsettled when
Congress meets next December. There
is plenty of red tape in the Department
of State, which does things slowly In
the meantime it is probable that the
fugitives will continue to take life easy
in the Chateau Frontenac.

The burglars Chances.

man who was arrested by local
detectives a few weeks ago and after
ward sentenced to the penitentiary on
a charge Of burglary talked freely to
the officer concerning his manner of
living, says the Washington Star.
VIII you tell me why you prefer a
life of crime to that of an honest, up
right MANI" the detective asked him.
"I have often wondered" added the
officer, why burglars will take such
desperate chances, when so frequently
there is but little to be gained
But we don't take the chances, .
said the burglar. THE man who
comes after us takes the chances. He
takes his life in his own hands when
he leaves his bed chamber and goes
in pursuit of an unwelcome caller. The
odds are all against him and in favor
of US. We know where we are and
have an idea from where the occupant
of the house will come. OF course
we only go to rob, and, when neces-
sary, to fight. No burglar is going
to get caught if he can help 1t, even
if he has to resort to murder"
STILL" the detective reasoned, you
are bound ii be in danger some time
and that some time, l should think,
would deter you from taking the
chances"
There are remote chances" the
burglar said, but they are so re-
mote that they are never considered
If you will consult the records you
viii see that not one burglar in a hun
dred cases ever gets hurt. Until there
is a great change in the results you
many depend upon it that burglaries
will not cease"

ONLY in Eun.

A West Philadelphia sends an
anecdote of a 9-year-old girl who had
been looking forward with fear to the
June examinations in the public school,
says the Philadelphia Times. She was
very DESTROYS of promotion, but not at
all certain of her ability to pass. Her
apprehension of failure and conse-
quent humiliation became so pro-
nounced as the ordeal drew near that
she looked about for some way of
escaping. One evening, at family
prayers, her mother suggested that a
brief prayer be said for the recov-
cry of two or three children of the
neighborhood who were down with
diphtheria. The child obeyed, but
added a prayer that she might be
stricken with the complaint so that
she should have an excuse not to at
tend examination. The following morn
ing she complained that her throat
was sore: and her mother, not with
out sincere alarm, expressed the opin-
ion that God had answered the wicked
prayer of the night before.
Does it come in the throat, NAM
map asked the child.
Yes, my dear" replied them other.
The perplexed little sufferer rolled
her eyes upward with an expression
of mixed alarm and distrust, and ex-
claimed:
20! Lord. can't you take joke?''

AEeing Rapidly.

A conductor on one of the Reading

Wayne Junction by lady who board
ed his train the other day in the COM
pany of a bright-looking little girl,
says the Philadelphia Times. He

another ticket.
I've never had to pay for her be-

ductor.
Five years."

A True Story.

A Sunday-school superintendent,
says Harper's Magazine, in talking to
the children about cruelty to animals,
said: "Only a coward would abuse
creature that had no way of pro-
tecting itself. Why, children" said
she, Il once knew a little boy who
cut off calf's tall Think of it,
children-took a knife and cut the tail
right off. Can any one tell me a verse
in the Bible that would have taught
this cruel boy that he should not have
cut the calf's tail?"
After-a moments silence, small
boy, with a "happy-thought'' express
sion, held up his hand What is it,
my boy?" asked the superintendent,
hopefully. What God hath Joined to-
gether, let no man put asunder," re-
sponded the small boy.
The superintendent was so impressed
that he never brought his own verse
to light.

When n Cock stons.

Ever hear a clock stop in the mid

iglar, according to the New York Sun.
IL did, once, and 1 never was much
more scared by anything, for min
ute, in my life.
"Pd just picked up a watch that was
layin on the top of a bureau in a
house that 1 was in when all of a sud-
den there seemed to drop right down,
somehow, a stiffness that was like
death; and l found myself standing
there holding that watch and looking
around in the dark in all directions
expecting something terrible to hap
pen; and scared?
why, for minute I was scared al
most out of my senses. And then all
of sudden it struck me that a clock
that I'd been hearing ticking away
good and strong up to that minute in
the room back of the one / was in had
stopped.
That's all, but that was enough for
me, and l just slid out.
Il like a quiet house, but 1 don't like
one with that kind of stiffness in it;

by a clock stopping just about as
quick as they would be by the firing
of a gun"

GEORGIA FARM OPERATORS.

In the twenty years between the
census enumerations of 1880 and 1900
the number of farms in Georgia in
creased S6,065, or GIL per cent. Mean
while the farms operated by owners
increased only IS per cent, the re-
mainder of the increase being taken
up by tenant farmers. There are more
than 10000 farms now operated by
their owners, against few more than
10000 in 1880; nevertheless there has
been a steady decline in the percent
age of owner-operated farms. In 1880
the percentage of owners who man.
aged their lands was 551; in 1900 the
percentage had dropped to 401, with
corresponding increase in the percent
age of tenant farmers. 1t is notice
able, however, in this connection that
there has been large increase in the
cash tenant farmers-those who pay
rent in cash, stated amount of la
Dor or farm produce-and relative
decrease in the percentage of share
tenants, who pay as rent a stated
share of the products of the farms
operated.
1t appears by the statistics of the
census bureau that there are about
10000 more colored cash tenants in the
state than white, and about 5000 more
white share tenants than colored. OF
the total number of farms, however,
141,S65 are operated by white farmers,
and s2,S26 by colored farmers. The av-
erage acreage of the white mans farm
is 147.4 acres. and that Of the colored
farmer 1851 acres; thus the white
farmer operates 1913 per cent. of the
acreage, and the colored farmer POI
per cent. 1t would appear, however,
from the census figures that the farms
of the colored farmers are slightly the
more valuable, since they are credited
with 21.3 per cent. of the value of
farm property, while the whites are
credited with 1871 per cent.
In Northern and Southern Georgia
the farms are largely operated by
their owners, while in Middle Georgia
the tenant farms predominant. In 1900
about 60 per cent. of all the farms,
and a little better than rs per cent.
of the cotton farms, were operat-
ed by tenants. Sixty-three per cent
of all farms were operated by white
farmers and 81 per cent. by colored
farmers. OF the white farmers 54.4
per cent. owned all or part of their
farms, and 45.6 per cent operated
farms owned by others. For the col
ored farmers the percentages were 1871
and S6.3, respectively.

A story of Abraham Lincoln would
have to be older than the one below
to lose it's characteristic SAVIOR, says
the Philadelphia Times.
In the summer of 1857 Mr.. Lincoln
was sitting in his Office, when he was
visited by one of his neighbors, an
excellent farmer, but one inclined to
increase the size of his crops even after
harvesting. He had given, on this par
ticular morning, skillfully padded
account of the hay he had put in.

tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all
they could outdoors, and then stored

THE HEAD OF THE MONEY POWER

The name of ]. Pierpont Morgan
is known wherever newspapers are
read. More than that, his influence
is felt to a greater or less extent in
all the countries of the world He is
the dominant figure in the world of
finance. He is the worlds money king.
Is there any other king who exerts
as much real power, who is as much
talked of in all civilized countries?
There was a time when the name of
the Rothschilds made a profound i'm
preston in all the capitals of the
earth. 1t is seldom that they are
heard of nowadays outside of the
cities in which their banking houses
are situated. But Morgan is known
everywhere. He was famous as a
financier before he organized the bill
lion dollar steel trust. That institu-
ton made his name almost a house
hold word in this country and in about
every other.
And now he is combining the mer-
chant marine fleets of nations, hand
ling the bond issues of empires and
republics, and the latest report in re-
gard to him is that he is preparing a
plan to refund the debt of Turkey.
If he nquidates the debts of the
Sultan and puts his finances on firm
foundation the Sultan's creditors prob
ably would be willing to accord to
him greater fame than that won by
any soldier or statesman. Is Mr.. Nor
gan a benefactor of his times? That
is question that cannot be answered
at this time. If the sentiment in re-
spect to trusts were questioned the
answer would be no, but it is not
known yet what the part trusts are
to play in the worlds affairs is. Nor
gan's sudden death would disturb the
worlds industrial and financial af-
fairs more than that of any emperor,
king or other ruler.

THE FRIARs MUST GO.

It looks as if there would be a COM
promise in the matter of the removal
of the Spanish friars from the Philip
pines. The instructions to Gov. Taft
were to secure their removal at once,
but it seems that while the Pope has
unlimited power theoretically the inter-
nal policy of the Vatican imposes GER
tain limitations upon him which he is
bound to respect. Therefore he can
not bind himself to order the friars
out of the Philippines. but he can bring
about their removal gradually. Ac
cording to the cablegrams from Rome
he is willing to give oral assurances
| that the friars shall go. IL the Presi-
dent is willing to accept such assur-
ances it is probable that an understand
ing will be reached.
The friars have played a large part
in the affairs of the Philippines, and
still exert powerful influence in the
islands. They are not, however, ac-
ceptable to the Filipinos. In fact, it
is mainly because the Fiipinos want
to get rid of them that the United
States have undertaken 10 purchase
the friars' lands.
The position taken by the United
States in this matter is not unresson-
able. 1t has the support of the Cath
cIic clergy of this country, and tie
info nation received from Rome is that
the Pope comedies the wisdom of it. II
is the opinion of the members of the
nix 49, ND
of army officers that the friars are an
obstacle to the pacification and pros
perity of the islands. That being the
case, the Pope ought to stretch his
authority to the utmost to assist in
bringing about conditions desired by
the Filipinos.
The proposition to substitute friars
of another nationality for the Spanish
friars does not seem to meet with favor
from the government or the Filipinos.
Assuming that such is the case, the
question of the presence of friars in
the islands ought to be settled finally
and forever now. 1t would be mis-
take to agree upon half way measure
About all of the Filipinos are Catholics
anu une government seems TO De QeS1r-
GUS to do. in this matter, what is best
for them.
There is another question which has
been taken up at Rome in connection
with that of the friars, and that is re-
ligious teaching in the public schools.
There is no doubt that the government
will insist upon the public schools be-
ing non-sectarian. Religious teaching
in them will not be permitted That Is
the American policy. A failure to main
tain 1t would bring upon the govern
ment a flood of harsh criticism. But
it seems it will be conceded that the
school houses may be used after school
hours for religious teaching.
1t is pretty certain that an under
standing will be reached. in regard to
both of these questions that will be sat
isfactory to all parties in interest, but
the negotiations may be more lengthy
than it was thought would be necessary
when Gov. Taft started on his mission
| to Rome
