up of the church, it must remain.
Edwards has been unjustly accus-
ed of many eruelties Of thought
which were really the work of other
minds. Much of the theology called
his was not originated by him, but
adapted by him to the needs of his
time. He built on the foundation o.
Calvin. All theological leaders have
inspired follies of which they them
selves were not guilty. There were
mild and great-hearted Catholic
leaders in the time of Du Chayla, and
he doubtless used their teachings as
justification for his persecution Of
the Huguenots. There seems no rea-
son to suppose that personally Ed
wards was not a gentle and sanity
man. He was born in certain be
hef; he had an iron conscience, and
his logic was inexorable; the result
was a stern and unbending system of
theology.
Had it not been for his life and
influence, paradoxieally enough, one
might say, the present liberal theology
would not have come into being. He

Disputed by the King.


As the British government addressed a
copy OF its note to the King to all the
signatory powers of the Treaty CO Ber-
lin. so in the same way has King Leo
pold addressed to these same govern
ments MS response to the charges made
by Great Britain Briefly speaking Leo
poId disputes the facts and refuses the
demands set forth in the English note
and takes such firm and uncompromis-
Ing stand on his sovereign rights as
ruler of the Congo as to hold out lit
tie prospect OF any satisfactory settle
ment.
Ills memorandum is divided into two
| parts. The first contains arguments
drawn from international law and from
the special acts which govern the
Congo, while the second part deals with
questions Of fact He rejects the
charges Of cruelty made against the ad-
ministration of the Congo on the ground
that they are based on untrustworthy
evidence. while he repudiates the idea
of arbitration as altogether incompat-
ible with his prerogatives as monarch
OF the Congo. He lays stress on the
fact that the objections respecting land
concessions and monopolies are app.
cable to all the other powers in Gen.
trail Africa, not excepting Great Britain
and in conclusion. he declares himself
convinced that after the explanation and
evidence furnished in the memorandum
the United States and the other sigma
tory powers viii recognize that there is
no necessity for the Intervention de-
manded by England.
This reply, while a disappointment 70
the powers generally, is a rebuff il
particular for Great Britain, which. il
must be remembered, is one OF the
four powers under the protection OF
which the neutrality OF Belgium is
placed, which guarantees the indepen-
denee and integrity OF the kingdom, and
10 which, therefore, Leopold is vir-
tually Indebted for HIS Belgian crown
But while there is little prospect OF
any joint or solitary Intervention of q
more active character, that Is to say
wis ct armae.' in the Congo Free State
it is likely that the English note will
have the excellent md beneficial re-
suit OF Fastening the transformation OF
the Congo Free State into a Belgian
colony. thus putting an end TO the many
inconvenience and disadvantages of the
personal rule of King Leopold over this
benighted and sorely afflicted portion

Under such conditions, as we pointed
out the other day, the fall of the Bal

time. What the result of the next
parliamentary elections viii be, it Is
toe early, perhaps, to predict at thi;
time. On the one hand, it is well to
remember that Mr.. Chamberlain has
but begun his campaign Of educa-

forget that the ideas for which Cob

MOnarchs Supported by France.

France. although a republic, is bur-
dened with the maintenance of several
monarchs- True they are mostly of en-
exotic character. and comprise, in addi-
ton to African potentates, not only the
ex-Queen OF Madagascar. who is now
living at that quaint little CantaHan
town known as Vic Sur Cere. which. with
its seventeenth century houses. with
their broad caves, round turrets and
steep dormered roofs. constitutes one OF
the most picturesque corners in France.
but also the Emperor Nam-Ghi Of An
nam, who, it may be remembered, was
deprived OF his Aslatic throne and de-
ported into exile in Algeria for having
in 1885 instigated the massacre of a
number of French officers. For three
years after that episode le led the

that Colonel Boulangie who has jusz been
placed on the retired list, after an ex-
traordinary fracas at the war Gapart-
ment, which resulted in his threatening
to rxn General Andre, the minister Of
war. through the body with his sword.
In view OF the fact that even after his
capture Emperor Nam Chi displayed the
utmost insolence toward all the French
authorities with whom he was Drought
into contact, he may consider himself
fortunate that they did not turn him
over TO his successor on the throne Of

CTankS at the White House.
The Advertising of These People For
hidden for Good Reasons.

In view of the arrest of two sus-
picious persons in the last two days,
the police authorities have decided not
to give out reports of cranks or IN
sane persons who have been hanging
around the White House for the pos
sible purpose of injuring the Presi-
dent. This is most sensible decision.
1t is reported that the German de-
partment of political police. reading
of the arrest of several such persons
lately, expresses only surprise that
they have been so full. and it is said
that on AN average at least one arrest
day is made in Berlin ON similar
grounds. The police in that city re-
fuse to report such cases to the pub
tic, believing lhat the report would IN
fuence other Unbalanced minds and
increase the danger.
There can be no doubt that this
species of suggestion has not been
sufficiently taken into account in deal
ing with insane persons with homicl-
Dial mania. The impulse of the mo
ment moves an unbalanced mind much
more strongly than ordinary people
understand. If the killing of some
noted person is suggested to a man on
the edge of insanity, the sensational
element in the situation so works upon
HIM that he feels like doing the same
thing himself. 1t Is we'll known thar
the report of one sensational murder
or suicide is usually followed by other
cases of the same sort. There IS q
nursery tale of a mother who, leaving
her children for day, told them on
no account to put beans in their noses
She came home to find that they had
promptly followed the suggestion
and anybody rash enough to tell this
tale in the presence of young children
may find that the law Of suggestion is
as powerful in fact as in fiction. Al
insane persons mird works like tha
of a child. Tell him that he Is op
pressed, and he feels oppressed; tel
him that he dares not do a crimina
act, and he will do it to prove hi
bravery. Let us follow the exsmpl'
Of Germany and refrain from putting
wrong ideas INTO empty heads

Leopold's Reply.

LeOpolos keply.
King Leopold in his capacity as SOW
ereign of the Congo Free State has just
addressed TO the United States Govern
ment. as one of the signatory powers to
the treaty by which the rulership of the
Free State was eOnfded to him, a mem
orandum In reply to the note OF the
British government. which he received
some four months ago. In this note the
English secretary Of state for foreign
affairs called his attention 70 the many
fragrant violations Of the treaty which
have occurred in the Free State. the
systematic cruelties practiced upon the
natives by the Congo officials. and the
establishment in the state of a system
Of commercial monopolies which in def
ance Of treaty obligations practically
closed the door to the traders of foreign
nations.
1t was pointed out in the note that the
government of the Free State had failed
to bring about that material and moral
improvement in the condition Of the ma
tives which was one of the primary OBJ
tects In the creation OF the state, while
the free trade provisions Of the treaty
have been nulliied by the granting of
concessions for the exploitation Of the
country.
