The Farmers Trust.

The Farmers Trust, which was or
eanized at Indianapolis few months
ago under the rather perfdious name Of
the Society OF American Equity, reports
progress. At a meeting last week the
number OF members was said to be
nearly 100, 900, and the organizers hope,
perhaps too enthusiastically, that the
million mark will be reached by
September.
The equity sought by the Society of
Equity is an equitable price for grain,
fruit and all other farm products. The
plan is to determine from the reports of
crop specialists in every part OF the
country what is an equitable minimum
price for each commodity. Once fixed,
this price will be sent to all members OF
the society at the same time and no
member will sell for less.
The directors believe that by Septem-
Der the members will hold 80 much grain
and keep it from the market that prices
will have to go up. These gentlemen
are perfectly frank. They are trying to
engineer a corner" They mean by
concerted withholding of products from
trade to make an artificial scarcity, just
as il there had been drought or fail
ure of the crops from any other cause.
The plan is ambitious and difficult;
and corners in agricultural stuff are no.
toriously hard to manage. We mention
the programme of these hawbuck mo-
nopolists merely to express our special
wonder that farmers anywhere should
boldly initiate the wickedness ascribed
to the wickedest trusts, aim at forcing
up prices, and show themselves abso-
lutely ungrateful for the efforts Of the
Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, the Hon.
PHILANDER C. KNOX and other friends
of humanity to put hook in the jaws
Of MONOPOLY.

defence. At the time he was absent
abroad, but after his return he failed te
pursue the matter and went on in his min
istrations without undertaking to cleal
it up.
1t is peculiarly requisite that the
ministers OF religion should conduc.
themselves in all ways with careful
regard to removing all suspicion from
themselves. They should be in verify
holy men Of COP" in whom there
is not even the appearance OF evil
from which st. PAUL warned the Thes-
salonian Christians to abstain. Keep
thyself pure was also his injunction to
TIMOTHY. More especially in the rela-
tions Of pastor to the women OF his
fook and to women generally must there
be scrupulous care to avoid the possible
ity of suspicion which arises easily
concerning clergymen.
The case of the Rev. DR.. VAN DE WATER
has been peculiarly unfortunate because
the accusation of unclerical conduct
made against him by servant woman
has not vet been met and disposed OF
finally. 1t may be said that the circum-
stance that not until now has his identity
as the clergyman accused been revealed
precisely has prevented him heretofore
from clearing his good name, but Is 1t
not somewhat remarkable that SO soon
as he knew of the ruinous suspicion he
did not force his accusers into the light
of day and compel them to prove their
accusations or withdraw them? Even a
respectable layman occupying 80 prom
inent a position socially as that OF DR..
VAN DE WATER would have demanded
an opportunity for instant vindication,
if he could improve it satisfactorily. He
would not have rested quietly under an
odious suspicion il there had been moth
ing in his conduct to justify it, More
over, as DR.. VAN DE WATER said in his
Sundays sermon, the noblest form OF
suffering is suffering for others The
good name OF woman OF his flock was
involved and by clearing himself he would
have cleared her, SO far as her relations
with himself were concerned.
DR.. VAN De WATER is not only the rec
tor of st. Andrews, he is also the chaplain
of Columbia University; and it is pecu-
liarly incumbent on him that to the stu
dents of whom he is officially the spir-
itual head he should set an example Of
the highest and purest manhood. He
should hail the opportunity which this
public and judicial proceeding gives him
to wipe off every trace OF a stain Of sus-
picion on his own character and on the
holy Office he holds; for unless there is
yindication there is confession.

Great Britain. On the free trade question
it is quite possible that they may do what
Mr.. GLADSTONE did in 1880, and what he
failed to do in December, 1885, that is to
say, gain large majority over British
Conservatives and Irish Nationalist
combined For, when that question is
submitted to the voters, the Liberal
chiefs will not only retain all the followers
they had at the last general election, but,
as recent events have shown, will gain
also most OF the Liberal Unionists and
very large section of the Conservatives.
1t is obviously impossible that, on free
trade issue, such Conservatives as Sir
MICHAEL HrcKs-BEAcH and Mr.. RITcHIE
should be found in the same camp with
Mr. CHAPLIN.
There u.s. manifestly, no objection to
resumption of the leadership OF the
Liberal party by Lord RosEBERY from
the moment that the recent line Of cleav-
age between the pro-Boer and anti
Boer factions is lost sight Of. Nobody
cares any longer to discuss the causes
of the South African war Vanished
also, or fast vanishing. Is the dlstinc-
ton between Little Englanders and
Imperialists. From the moment that
Imperialism is admitted to mean an
increase in the price Of a loaf of bread,
Lord RosEBERY and his anti-Boer lieu
tenants repudiate it with fervor, and
about half the Conservatives avow
themselves Little Englanders The adj
mission has been made by Mr.. CHAM
BERLAIN with a frankness that does him
credit He has acknowledged that I'm
perialism is nothing but wind, unless a
preference is given to colonial food
products in the market of the mother
country Since the extraordinary scenes
witnessed in the House of Commons on
Tuesday and Wednesday last, it may be
taken for granted that no such prefer
ence will ever be given.

" hlteCaps.

Whitecapping, at the moment impress
sively illustrated by w. h. CATTLETT
of Chattanooga, who has just been SEN
fenced to be hanged, has had natural
career. The Whitecaps have been known
in almost all sections of the country, and
they sprang into existence from very
common human impulse. They were
born of mans irrepressible longing 10
boss his brother. They have been agents
of moral discipline self-elected.
Possibly there was originally something
laudable in the motive of their organlza-
ton, but organization makes power, and
power exctes to excess. Probably for
one good result accomplished by the
Whtecaps in various parts OF the coun-
try there have been a dozen outrages,
reaching even the grade of murder, as in
the case of CATTLETT This citizen Of
Tennessee, rich and respected farmer
is finally revealed as captain in crime,
hiring other men to take lives that didn'
please him and his friends. Now, thanks
to the enormity of the situation which
he created and the stalwart character
of the Judge and jury officiating at his
trial, his part of the country is to be rid
of him and is to acquire in his stead
an example which should have very
healthful effect among wrongdoers of
his kind.
The day of the amateur and individual
regulator of other peoples ways of life
is passing, in more respects than one.

The Case OF the Rev. DIR. Van DC
Water.

On Sunday, the Rev. DR.. VAN DE
WATER, the rector of st. Andrew 8 Church
in Harlem, preached to his congregation
a sermon on Discipline of Suffering.
The Christian who SUFFERS he said,
may praise GOD for it. for it opens the
windows of heaven to him" Our char
acters,' he repeated, are formed by
Christian virtues strengthened by suf-
fering.'
According to the reports, the utterance
of the preacher made deep impression
on his hearers, and when he passed out of
the church at the conclusion of the service
he was warmly greeted by many members
of his flock, for his remarks were inter-
preted, not unreasonably, to have been
expressive OF his own feelings under the
fire of suffering through which he ID pass
ing because of imputations on his moral
character cast in the Watt divorce case.
Those accusations we're made orig Ahlly
many months ago; and though his exact
identity was not then revealed, the refer
ence to clergyman as the accused Of
fender was directed against the Rev. Dr.

The Stamp Of Genius.

The Society Of American Authors is
trying to reduce the postal revenues. 1t
is going to urge Congress at the next ses-
sion to permit authors manuscript to be
carried in the mails at third-class rates
instead OF regular letter postage, as at
present.
We wish all good to American authors,
a prosperous class and we'll able to af-
ford to pay letter postage on its output
of manuscripts. A manuscript is more
valuable than an ordinary letter. 1t is
merchandise to be sold.
The flood of volunteer manuscripts is
already vast Does it need to DO en-
couraged? Every tenth man, woman
and child is writing novel; every other
man, woman and child is making verse.
The zeal of the Society of American
Authors is creditable to its enlightened
self-interest, but there should be some
consideration for American editors, up
to their chins in manuscripts already.

MIR. WHITE SPEAKS FOR RUSSIA.
The Former Ambassador says That Country
ID Entitled to . Port In Manchuria.

ID Entitled to Port In Manchuria.
SYRACUSE, June 15.-Andrew d. White.
former Ambassador to Germany, said to-
day that Russia was entitled to a Pacific
port and he sees no reason why that port
should not be in Manchuria. He believes
1t to be wrong to deny nation Of $50 900 900
inhabitants entrance to the sea.
1T is not my sympathy with the Russian
Government" he said, that leads me to
that conclusion. I recognize the despotic
and arbitrary action Of the Russian Gov
eminent in many things, but see no good
reason for denying this port. II China
were left alone she would close Mannhuria
up 10 our commerce. But Russia cannot
afford to keep out OF it's territory the things
which 1t 30 badly needs. At the worst it
will do no more than We are doing in the
Philippines. 1t stands committed to
tariff policy and undoubtedly would put
one in force In Manchuria, but there would
be no arbitrary prohibition of trade, and we
should be no worse of in respect to Russian
trade than Russia is in respect to the trade
Of the Philippines. In Manchuria Russia
would have a port that would be open all
the year around, and port which would
do much for the development Of the interior
interest Of this country to prevent Russia
As to the tariff agitation in England,
Mr.. White said:
II doubt II it comes to anything. Eng
land is too firmly intrenched in the policy
of free trade to depart from it. 1t arrived
at this policy by a road which, have al
ways held with President Garfield, must
be the road by which the United States
must arrive at 1t. 1t built up its industries
by protective tariff until these very IN
dustries, able to stand alone, called for
free trade"
Mr.. White left this afternoon for ithaca
and next week will attend the Yale COM
mencement. In the fall Mr.. White will
deliver the Phelps lectures at Yale. They
are to be six In number Mr.. White will
eventually make his home in Ithaca.
