heart Ths Guardian appealed TO the
American Bishop at Toxic to bring
the Rev. Mr.. LLOYD to book. Before
that appeal could have reached this ooun-
try IL seems, however that the TOXIC
Bishop was requested by the missionary
board to deal with the matter OF Mr..
LLoYD's apparent dsloyalty with
out delay and that on Saturday the
Bishop replied by cable, saying that the
clergyman had resigned from the col
lege. 1t would seem to be not less OBJ
ligatory that In England itself proceed

SPENCER JONES, for he is at the head ana
front of the offending so far as concerns
activity in the same propaganda OF
resubmission.
The trouble about trials for heresy,
however, Is that when they begin there
il no knowing when and where they will
end. II is not surprising, therefore,
that both in England and this country
the ecclesiastical authorities are loath
to start the ball rolling.

The suspension Of Part Of the North.
ern Securities Injunction.

The action Of Judge SANBoRN Of the
United States Circuit Court in permitting
the payment by the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern Railway COM
panies of the May dividends to the
Northern Securities Company will re-
ceive general approval.
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals. in its decision, in which Judge
SANBoRN took part, enjoined the holding
company from exercising any control
over the operation of the two great
railroads and from acquiring any Of
the stock Of the railroad companies,
and it also enjoined the railroad COM
panies from paying any dividends on
their stock to the holding company.
The defendants applied to Judge SAN
BORN to suspend that part Of the in
junction order which forbids the pay
ment of the dividends. and this is the
application which has just been granted.
1t was pointed out to the Court by the
attorneys for the railroads that the divi-
dend moneys would reach the same
individuals, whether paid to them di-
rectly or through the medium Of the
holding company. and that it was un-
necessary as well as unjust, TO tie up
some fourteen millions Of dollars which
would accrue in dividends before the
Supreme Court Of the United States
could decide the appeal. Judge SAM
BORN said that it was the practice
of the Court to suspend an injunc-
ton during the tendency Of an APP
peal whenever such action would not
injuriously affect the rights Of the party
who had secured the Injunction, and
for this reason he granted the request of
the defendant.
IT is manifest that this decision is in
accordance with common sense and
with equity.

The Psychopathic Hospital.

We have on several occasions in past
years urged in these columns the estab-
lishment OF reception hospitals for the
acutely insane in large cities. In 1890 we
referred to Die Psychidtrische klinik ~
0iessen," a new hospital Of the kind in
question. then just completed in Germany
under the direction Of Prof. SOMMER. who,
in the preface Of his pamphlet, advised
that every city with population Of $4,000
or more should establish psychopathic
hospital.
There is now bill before the Legis-
Iature providing for psychopathic hos
pltal In New York, and there is no dis
senting voice to oppose it,
While the bill carries an appropriation
Of $500, 1000, this is only available on con-
dition that the city provides site for the
proposed hospital; and as condemnation
proceedings will be necessary the money
would probably not be taken from the
treasury Of the State for one or two years
TO come.
A bill which meets with such wide
spread approval should unite all parties
in the Legislature for it's unanimous pas
sage. Political wranglcs are not con-
oerned with project of such far-reach-
ing beneficence. Pass the bill

Trial. for Ileresv.

II is very natural that the Ritualists
are most disturbed by the propaganda
for the reSlbmission of the Anglican
Church to Rome which has its headQuar-
ters at Garrisons, where is published it's
official paper, the Lamp, and that under
Ritualistic pressure preparations have
been made TO bring TO ecclesiastical trial
the Rev. Mr.. FRANCIS, the head of the
Order of the Atonement, there established
for the purpose Of preaching resubmis-
sion"
OF course, the accused minister
general is gratifed rather than dis
tressed by the announcement. II ac-
tually the trial takes place it will give
prominence to his order and it's purposes
which they have not had, for, here ;ofore.
the Garrisons community has been in
obscIrity. or, when il has been men ioned
at all in Episcopal circles, it has been
treated as only an absurd manifestation
of individual eccentricity Of no sympto-
matte consequence. But now the move
ment is forced into prominence, II not
significance. II the order shall be
brought TO trial because OF its propa-
ganda it will be elevated into a plaos
where it will command the interest OF the
whole religious public, and the purpose
which It seeks to accomplish will be dis
cussed seriously and no longer laughed at
as udicrous or insane in it's inception.
Already the order has begun to attract
attention in England, and the more be-
cause il represents the views put forth

solute right. The Lieutenant-0 Governor
of the Transvaal is by this ordinance en-
powered to refuse to permit the naturali-
zation OF any Uitlander. no matter how
long the latter may have resided In the
Transvaal. No reason need be assigned
for the refusal, nor does any appeal
lie from the decision. II follows that the
resident alien in the Transvaal Is not
only still a helot, seeing that no fran
chise is at present obtainable. but may
remain helot, IL the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor so chooses, after the suffrage has
been nominally granted.
Now let us inquire to what extent the
lot OF the Kaffirs, which four years ago
used to be described as virtual slavery,
has been improved. The notion that
the Kaffirs were enslaved seems to be
one OF the Misunderstanding to which
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN referred, for not
only have the British authorities main
tanned all the Boer laws with reference
to the natives, but with Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN's approval, they have actually in.
creased the burden Of taxation imposed
upon the male Kaffirs in order to get
more labor out Of them. Under the Boer
law of 1895 every adult male native had
to pay poll tax Of $40, and every mar
ried native a hut tax Of $3.50 for each
wife. BY Lord MINERS ordinance OF
1902, not only is the Boer poll tax OF $40
reimposed, but further tax of $40, in
stead of 81 so, is levied for each addi-
tional wife. For non-payment OF the
extra tax, imprisonment may be sum
marily inflicted. As We have said, the
aim Of the new imposts is to force the
Kaffirs to work in the mines: but. if we
may judge from observation OF what
has occurred elsewhere in Africa, it is
quite as likely to provoke dangerous
disaffection. 1t has been proved that
the native rebellion in Sierra Leone was
caused by the imposition Of hut tax
amounting to only SIPS. A similar tax
tried in the Gold Coast had to be given
up. Nor is there any doubt that to the
fear of a hut tax was due largely the
rising of the Matebele and the Mashona
tribes against the Chartered Company
in Rhodesia.
OF course. what Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
meant to say was that the Beers would
not have fought il they had compre-
hended the benefioent purposes Of the
British Government. 1t is also true that
the British people would not have sane
toned the war il they had understood
the Kaffir question and had appreciated
the liberality Of the franchise terms
offered by the Pretoria Government.

A NEGRO EDUCATORS TRIBUTE.
Notable Evidence Of white sympathy and

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. II cannot

very acute and that there IL feeling both In

Republican State Leadership In 1908.

The Nevburgh Ners is sometimes
spoken Of as the personal organ OF the
Hon. BENJAMIN B. ODELL, Jr. 1t is said
to be run by a corporation composed Of
citizens who are his neighbors and per-
sonal friends. We don't know. That
newspaper remarked on Saturday last:
Governor opELL has no quarrel with Senator
PLATT.-
The Hon. THOMAS c. PLATT, so far as
we are aware, owns. controls or edits no
newspaper either by virtue Of financial
investment or through the subtler infu-
ence of all-compelling friendship. When
he needs an agent Of publicity, the astute
old chap is obliged to concoct something
which will buy its own way into print by
giving value in the shape Of news interest.
For the statement counter to that quoted
above, PLATT chose as his personal organ
the Nep York Evening Post. He used the
columns Of that journal thus:
u am tired of saying that there is no CONFLICT
between me and oDELL."
We doubt both statements equally
not the declaration Of PLATT that he is
tired, for he may be very tired indeed,
but his statement that there Is no con-
flict between him and ODELL; and on the
Newburgh side the statement that ODELL
has no quarrel with PLATT.
There is conflict and there is quarrel.
Everybody posted about the situation
knows that this is so. Almost everybody
knows why it is 30. On the part Of the
younger politician, an entirely selfish
desire for self-aggrandizemen in the
hierarchy. On the part of the older
politician a mostly but perhaps not
wholly selfish purpose to retain in the
organization the power which he has so
long and 30 variously exercised.
Whatever immediate danger there may
be in a quarrel whereof the most promis-
ing possibility seems to be the mutual
destruction of the contestants. it is GER
tain that the Republican party in the
State of New York will survive both
PLArr and ODELL. BY and by the sordid
details OF their clash in 1903 will read
precious small in the pages of ancient
political history.

Finished u IN Eleven Hours.


Finished u IN Eleven Hours.
WARRINGTON. April 7o.-It pays to be
an artist. provided you are the real thing.
This statement becomes luminous a. one
surveys the portrait OF Secretary Shaw.
just finished by the famous French portrait
painter. Chartran.
II 1000 persons were to make q g,iess
AZ to the length OF time consumed by Char
tran in painting the portrait, some would
say three months, some would put 1t at
month. and probably few would venture
a guess at a week. In truth, the famous
Frenchman was precisely eleven hours IN
finishing the portrait. There were three
sittings. or rather standings; two Of four
hours each and one Of three hours. At the
end Of the last sitting, the portrait was nm
ished. r...
At the beginning Of the FIRST sitting. Char
tran appeared with q fresh canvas and re-
quested the Secretary to assume the Dose
he desired. Mr.. Shaw suggested . stand
Ing attitude. at the sanne time STRENGTHENING
up and thrustink his hands half way into
his trousers pockets. Chartran did not
say word. but moved his head up or down
responded Just ~ silently. until the painter
nodded an o. X. and proceeded. Chartran
was probably eight feet distant from Sec-
rotary Shaw. A no time had he ap-
preached nearer, Not measurement VAS
taken. The head was outlined. then the
body, and quickly the figure began TO take
form and proportion. Chartran worked
rapidly. occasionally CHANGING at the sub
ject. This method continued until the
third sitting Terminated. and the portrait
was pronounced finished.
After the canvas had been handed over
to the Treasury Department and the artist
had departed. Private Secretary Edwards
proceeded to take soma measurements
expressed that the bead was q tribe larger
than natural sixe and some other assumed
slight variations noted. Secretary Shaw
submitted TO series Of measurements
more exactng than are employed In the
Bertillon system, and after compar isons
had been made with tho figure on the can
vas Il was found that the portrait did not
vary from the original sixteenth part Of an
inch In any measurement; In fact, the meas
urements OF original and portrait we're in
almost every instance identical. To the
laymen such a degree Of visual accuracy
In almost inoohceivable, but there IL no
going behind the evidence In this oase.
As might be expected. Chartrsn comes
high. His price for portrait ID 5000.
He has been In America several months,
painting portraits Of noted New Yorkers:
and has recently completed portnits OF
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice, both Of
which are pronounced gems.
The new portrait OF Secretary Shaw u
the property OF the Treasury Department.
II being a fixed policy Of the Government
to have portrait done In oil OF each
Secretary.

Trade and Industry.

The year Of imports and exports ending
March 81. 1908. gives the majestic balance
on the export side of over s4is, 900, 900.
This Is less than any year past down to
1905; but the bright feature Of it is that
the current Of exports which, compare
lively, has been for some time running
slower and more meagre has taken on
new force and volume.
Our export trade was of greater di-
mansions last year and the year before;
but our highly consolidated and gener-
ally incorporated American industry is
probably on broader and more assured
foundations to-day than over before.
OF this let us be duly appreciative, and
on all sides and at all times careful.
