THE uNBLusHING FRAUD.
Which Has Been Behind Great Promo
 ting Schemes

Which Has Been Behind Great Promo
 ting Schemes.
 The bitter cry of Wall stret for some months past has been that confidence was being undermined by some wicked man, or men. Many Nathtn-lke voices have responsibility said to President Roosevelt, Thou art the man?" The moment. it has been asserted, that the government bought the Northern securities suit, capital took fright, the erstwhile supplemented and confiding investor received a 'chill." the crops took to doing badly. and the great captains of industry such as the build- CTS of yachts and automobiles for stock brokers and promoters began to set their houses in order. It was a beauti- full theory-so clear. So closely knit in logic, so comforting liter it's melancholy fashion. We fear, however, that a rival explanation is likely to come into vogue after the revelations of yesterday in the United States shipbuilding suit, by means of which the screen was thrown down and the public was per- mitted to see promoting as she is really promoted. Confidence would have to be a peculiarly hardy growth not to be shaken by the scandalous spectacle.
 The testimony Of Mir. Dresser dis closed a shocking state of affairs. It showed how character had been wrecked as we'll as values. Seldom can there have been uncovered more vul- gar conspiracy to pluck or shear the in- yesting public goose or lamb. The vendors of "salted" mines are entitled to hold up their heads, compared with the discovered tricksters. Their moral fraud was most unblushing. To be both purchaser and seller, to have a pool within pool, and an agreement behind an agreement, and, at the same moment that lying prospectus was issued to the public, to fleece the inves- tor even before he invested-that is the kind of thing in which supposedly hon. est men were engaged. What the law will say about their transactions we must walt to see. It Is certain that un- der such a company's act as England has, the whole proceeding would have been set aside by the courts, and the promoters compelled to disgorge their concealed profits.
 On the moral aspect of the matter, however, every intelligent man Is com petent to pronounce judgment. His verdict will be that the methods prac- ticed were no more reputable than those of the common sharper. Nearly every element of indecent cheating ap- pears to have been present, while the attempt to hoodwink and bleed the pub lie could not have been more unblush- ing. But what we ask is, How is all this going to affect the small investor the country over Is his confidence to be restored by the publication Of such schemesto rob him? Is he likely to come trooping back to Wall street, and help lift a sagging market, when he sees the snares laid to catch his feet? As destroyers of confidence it appears to US certain that those who have most la mented it's destruction outstrip all pos- sible rivals.-New York Evening Post.

worth only about seventy-hye cents. If the peeled-off bark happens to get wet it loses much of it's alkaloid quinina; hence every planter has to build ample sheds in which to dry it. The trunk of the tree after having been peeled, is en- .tirely valueless, not even good for f1re- wood in a country where fuel is scarce. The cost of cutting, drying and pack ing the bark is about $1.90 per hundred weight. A box Is lined with burlap and then with layer of banana leaves. The bark is put in and pressed down by machinery until the box will hold no more and the scale indicates exactly one hundred pounds. It is then re- moved from the box, banana leaves and all; second sack. is added, and the whole bound light with raw-hide thongs. There are no fever than twen- ty-one varieties of the quina tree, some worthless, others ranging in the amount of quinine contained in the bark from one-half per cent. to oaseven per cent. The buyer must know his business, for if not an expert he is likely to be badly sold, The "gold brick. swindle has not. been so often perpetrated in the United States as that of selling for cascarilla the worthless bark of some other trees.

The Bible and the Schools.

Brooksville, Ky.-Judge James p.
Harbeson of the circuit court has rem
dered a decision in the case where
the Rev. Thomas Hackett, a Catholic
priest. brought an injunction suit
against the school trustees of Brooks
Vile asking that they and the teachers
in the public schools be restrained
from reading the Bible or offering
prayer in the schools, on the ground
that it was a violation of the constitu-
ton. Judge Harbeson dismissed the
petition, at the cost of the plaintiff,
and in unqualified terms says that the
Bible is the foundation of all Chris
tan governments and he does not see
where it is sectarian to read it in
schools. An appeal was asked for and
granted.
