ENGLAND AND PRANCE

Exchanges of amenities between heads OF
States sometimes mean much and sometimes
little. SOvereigns have been known thus 70
make compacts which have changed the des
tiny Of nations. They have also been known
TO inquire affeetiOnately. art thou in health
my brotherF at the same time that each was
directing knife point toward the others fifth
rib. Whenever such meeting occurs, specuIa-
tion as to its motives and possible results is
sure to ne rife. Not always is it gratifed, and
seldom is II anything like so fully gratiied as
it is in the case of the visiting between King
Edward and President Loubet
There can be no doubt whatever as 10 the
motive on both sides. 1t was to dispeI the fool
ish and unfounded antagonism that had arisen
between the two nations and to promote senti-
ments Of mutual confidence and esteem. Nor
can we doubt that such results have been in
measure attained. For proof Of that we have
only to recall the anti English tone Of the
French press hitherto, and then observe its
changed tone at the present time Thus the
Temps" one Of the most authoritative journals
in Paris, speaks Of 1.-The beneficial rapprocbe-
'ment which has Just been brought about be-
tween France and England Two great
"democracies exchange pledges Of their favor
"able disposition, and testify before the world
their firm and resOlute intention to live hence
AolA III LrIennshlp ana perfect harmony"
Again, the "Gil Bias" paper of very different
type, but representative and influential in
high degree, declares that the exchange of visits
will prove conducive to the most cordial rela
''tons between the two governments and the
two peoples"
Such quotations might be almost innumerably
multiplied. Their significance is Unmistakable
IL ant-English feeling has been promoted in the
past by the utterances of the press, such utter
ances as these will in like measure promote
friendship for England. AS for the other side
there can be no question OF EDgland's readiness

An item of news which deeply interests society
in Paris for the moment is the announcement
that Nile. Luce Faure. the daughter Of the eX-
President. has become engaged to NJ. George

TROLLEY EXPLORATION.

With pleasure we note that the little hand
book of our esteemed contemporary. 1.-The
Brooklyn Eagle" which outlines a number of
trips to be made by trolley cars in the vicinity
of New-York City, has reached it's seventh edi-
ton. Without the aid of any such publication
a few people had discovered for themselves the
possibilities Of diversion and instruction to be
found in such Journeys. A much larger num-
Der will be benefited by having their attention
directed to the matter. In fact to many it will
be a surprise to find how nearly inexhaustible
are the resources put at their disposal by the
enormous development of electric railways out
side OF the more densely populated portion of
the metropolis The trolley itself is scarcely
more than ten years old. and now that the
popularity Of the bicycle has declined this
other means OF cheap transportation in rural
regions promises to do more than fill its place.
At least fifty available routes radiate from
the city, more than dozen in New-Jersey. a
still greater number on Long Island and about
a score reaching up into Westchester County
and out into New England. For sums ranging
from to 50 cents one can make JOURNEYS
which require from one to three hours and
open up variety of delights. There is no end
OF spots Of historic interest having Revolution
ary associations. There are entirely new sub
uFbs which have sprung up with amazing
rapidity and are as beautiful as a dream. Nat
ural scenery presents another class of attrac-
tion while the simple refreshment OF a ride in
oppressive summer weather adds still further
to the charm of this sort of exploration Rarely
can person see all that is to be seen on any
of these routes unless he goes over it two or
three times. Hence, if he improved all the op-
portunities thus opened to him, he could use up
all his spare Saturdays, long twlights and
moonlight nights for whole summer without
having done full Justice to the subject

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Speculation suddenly developed great activity
on Wednesday, aggressive operations for the
short account finding no opposition until the
average of the leading railway shares had been
forced to within So of the low point during the
panic that was precpitated two years ago by
the struggle for control of Northern Pacific
The decline in prices also resembled the situa-
tion May g. 1901, in its utter indifference to
normal influences. Reports of large earnings
and generally good news to industrial and
agricultural conditions were ignored and the
market was manipulated by a few strong inter
ests that evidently desired to eclipse all recent
Tow water marks. Large loans were negotiated
by two leading Western roads. and the high
rate OF interest was discussed as an explanation
Of the decline by those who were seeking some
legitimate explanation; but the fluctuations in
the stock market OF late have not required
elucidation. When the bottom was reached
there appeared a fair investment demand, but
many capitalists delayed purchases because
there was the possibility of still lower figures

JUSTICE RRERER ON MyUNCTIoN.

The remarks of Justice Brewer, Of the United
States Supreme Court, on the power OF equitable
injunction before the Iowa State Bar Associa-
lion are likely 10 attract much attention, for
they boldly challenge doctrine which is being
widely preached not merely by agitators who
ind the courts an obstacle to their plans, but
by conservative people who fear disturbance in
the balance OF our carefully limited govern
ment Government by injunction" is one of
the dearest foes Of the demagogue, while those
who defend the free exercise of equitable powers
by courts, especially in labor troubles and in
4he disputes of great corporations, are likely to
do it IN a gingerIy fashion. Whether we agree
with Justice Brewer or not, ii is refreshing and
conducive TO clear thinking to find him not
merely defending the injunctions, but declaring
for the extension of their scope in these words:
Unless the law is TO place itself out of har-
mOny with the advancing civilization, the right
10 prevent wrong should have an enlarged
rather than q restricted scope. The cry or
government by injunction will eventually die
out, and il will be felt by all that the power is
exercised only when necessity arises and when
equity and justice demand.
We can foresee the outcry against judicial
tyranny" with which such proposition will be
greeted in Some quarters. We can also appreci-
ate some of the dangers which further extern
sion OF judicial authority involves in country
where courts already exercise an unprecedented
power Of setting aside legislation. This further
reaching out to enjoin acts hitherto considered
exempt from interference may seem like usurpa-
ton. Yet il is only the continuation of the prog
ress by which in all civilized lands law has kept
abreast of the changing conditions Of society.
In Rome equity developed to deal with the
cases for which the formal law had made no
provision. IN England the chancery courts kept
law mobile. as the analogous tribunals have
done in this country.
Conditions here rapidly change. The old ideas
of commerce and the necessary scope Of gov
ernment which prevailed a century ago have
been outgrown. Law has had TO adapt itself 10
the new development or leave personal and
property rights of the greatest importance virtu-
ally without protection New kinds Of prop
erty have been created new possibilities OF do
ing wrong have been discovered, and the saliva
ton Of society may depend at times upon the
power OF court 10 step in and enjOin some act
which statute law never forbade because il
never contemplated the necessity. That such
powers should have a further evolution Is nat
uraI and indeed inevitable Those who COM
plain Of the extensive Development already seen
IN the use Of njunctions must admit that the
evolution has not nearly kept pace with the
growth OF business and the inteFdependence Of
interests which make possible the doing of irrep
arabic harm by acts which once might safely

to cultivate the most friendly relations with
France. There is no other country in Europe a
close understanding with which would be more
popular In England than with France. It may
well. be, then, that these amenities between
the King and the President will prove to be
epoch marking. An approachment between those
two nations of Europe, which are at once the
richest, the most highly civilized and the most
powerful on the sea, can scarcely fail to have
profound effect upon all the international rela-
tions of the Continent.

now plain enough that they were givers of gifts
TO their political and personal friends Their
oouhues and Denefactions were certainly not
bestowed without keen eye to the main

upon the Sage of Vantage to abandon for a
time his indulgent care OF his pet ducks in the

COLLISION ON HILLSIDE.
Score of People Injured and Two Cars De
stroyed.
(By the Associated Press. J

Pittsburg, JAM 29.-One of the worst
wrecks the Pittsburg Railway Traction
Company has experienced since it's or
ganization occurred tonight. A score
of passengers were injured and two cars
were completely destroyed. Traffic was
stopped for several hours Eight victims
are in the hospital, the others were
taken to their homes. Thomas b. Davis,
of Pittsburg, is perhaps fatally hurt, his
injuries being internal. Seven others
were badly injured
A car on the Homestead branch was
on its way to Pittsburg. Just as it
passed Forward avenue it struck a buck
ster's wagon. After going some dis
lance, it backed up the hill to see what
damage had been done. Just then it was
met by a second car coming down the
hill at a terrific pace.
When the collision occurred the troll
ley wires were crossed, causing a fire
which completely consumed both cars
in the wreck. ortunately all of the In
jured passengers We're taken out before
the flames reached them.

were MessrS. Morgan, of Alabama Foe
ter of Louisiana, Tillman of South Caro-

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
latiOns today authorized favorable re-
ports upon the Alaskan Boundary Treaty
and the protocol for the extension OF
time for the ratification of the Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty, but failed, for lack
of time. to reach a decision upon the
Panama Canal Treaty.
There was considerable discussion of
the Alaskan treaty, but the amendment
to make a favorable report was unani-
nous. The Panama treaty was opposed
by Senator Morgan who offered a num-
Der of amendments and presented an ar
gument in opposition to, the treaty as it
now stands. The committee will meet
again tomorrow to hear the conclusion or
