farmer who was In need Of professional ad-

Mr.. Montague Lessler OF New York tells a
story on Ambassador Choate which he de-
clares is a little newer than most others:
"once," said the agile and capable New
Yorker, II vas attorney for people with
Interests opposed to those of The Standard
Oil company. There was a preliminary
examination Of some of the magnates Of
that company, including Mr.; Rockefeller.
Finally some of Mr.. Choate's clients were
drawn into the controversy and they refused
to answer the questions l put to them. The
tangle became very intense and 1t was
necessary to have a long argument before
the Judge. At that time Mr.. Choate him
self was in New Jersey arguing a tobacco
trust case and We had to postpone our case
for over a week. Oh, my! how I studied
and fortified myself for the argument

THE disturbance among the re- publican leaders of Arkansas at Washington is quieting down. The only perceptible dent so far made in the old organization is to effect the removal of H. M. Cooper as marshal for the eastern district, although the so- called insurgents claim to have been given some very positive assurance that the one-man policy of the past in the distributing ofpatronage has been stopped. Stahl, it seems, has been smuggled through somehow, which makes the whole thing ap- pear a piece of mockery to us. In turning down Cooper and re- taining Stahl, the president, if the matter has been considered by him, has strained at gnat and swallowed a camel. We con- gra tulate Mr. Foreman, however, upon the brave fight he made again st Stahl and his allies and trust yet for fruitful results.

HAWAII AL RIGHT.

The communication of Mr.. Alfred
Stead to the London Saturday Review,
and the comments of that paper re-
garding alleged conditions in Hawaii,
raise the question whether annexation
to the United States of previously for
eign territories is beneficial to them or
not. Mr.. Stead, after a brief stay in
Hawaii, pronounced the conditions
there "deplorable," and said the fore
most advocates of annexation in 1898
are now the most bitter and Outspoken
in bewailing it's accomplishment" No
evidence is offered of the truth of this
assertion, and no statement of the kind
has appeared before in any quarter
The time is not opportune to deny or
decry the benefits of annexation to the
United States. With Cuba metamor-
phosed and regenerated by less than
three years Of American rule; with Por-
to Rico throbbing with new life and
prosperity and rejoicing TO be under
the American flag; with civil govern
ment extending and school houses
springing up throughout the Philip
pines, and with the Danish government
predicting for our new West India pos
sessions much greater prosperity than
they ever enjoyed under Danish rule,
it is time wasted for any Englishman
to assert that annexation is a failure i'm

A shock was given t0 the strict Sab
bathans of Edinburgh recently by the
unexpected announcement boy the
Tramway Company that it would run q
fun service of it's tram cars on Sunday,
says the London Mail. IL appears that
the company To whom the corporation
leased the tramways, has been unable
to work them at a profit and the corpo-
ration took Judgment against IL for
100000 under which it could enter into
possession of the tramways.
Notice To- this effect was given to the
company recently, whereupon a
meeting was held, and the view eX-
pressed that a profit could be made If
the tram cars could be run on Sunday.
Without giving the corporation or the
citizens time to raise objections the
company accordingly launched its an
nOunCement and Sunday morning
saw the strange sight in Edinburgh Of
the tramway service in full swing The
public seemed to enjoy the novelty, and
the tram cars were well patrOnized. De-
mandatory pulpit references were made
and an indignation meeting protested
on the ground that the tram cars were
run without the sanction of the Council
and citizens.

Berlin have established the fact that
76 029 persons are out of employment

men who work by the job and whose
earnings have been greatly reduced by
the hard times. According to a writer
in the current Forum, the trust devel-
