AN ArRocIous ACT.

1t is not little significant Of the
past acts of the Standard Oil company
and the repute which it enjoys that
there can be, as there undoubtedly will
be, a disposition to believe it guilty of
the abominable crime charged against
it by certain we'll owners in Texas. 1t
it quite common, in an producing
district, to find salt water mixed with
the flowing oil in varying quantities.
If there is too much of it, the we'll is
practically valueless. And the opera
tors of independent wells in the Beau
mont district have been suffering from
unaccountably bad luck in this respect.
One after another their oil wells began
to give forth salt water until they had
to be abandoned; when the properties
were quietly absorbed by the Standard
monopoly.
Now the Standard has a pipe line
through which oil can be pumped from
the wells to tidewater. And it is charg-
ed that, instead of this, it has been
pumping salt water from the gulf into
wells connected with it but not owned

Worlds Wheat Supply.

American farmers will be gratified to
know that the Hungarian minister of
agriculture figures out a deficiency of
between 10000, 900 and 50,O00,O00 BUSH
els in the worlds wheat supply. This
is not much of a shortage; the sweep
ings Of the worlds bins would amount
to as much as that. But 1t is a good
deal better than a surplus when we
have a crop above the average. We
have been extremely fortunate on sew
eral occasions (notably in 1891 and
1897) in having a good crop when the
rest Of the world was short of wheat,
but there has been a little apprehension
of an, oyersupply this year. Argentina
and India have more wheat to spare
than usual, but Australia is importing
wheat; the Hungarian crop is a good
deal under that Of last year, and sew

If Colombia would but take that

Her sovereignty over a canal strip

the world understands that we could
not spend some hundreds of millions
to open highway to the commerce of
immensely valuable property and all
the interests dependent upon it to the
disposition and the power of a weak

by the company, thus running their
productivity in order that they may be
bought for a song. Such is the story,
and there certainly are elements of
grave improbability about it. If the
independent wells were connected with
market their product, then it could con-
troll them anyway through it's charges
for service; and if they were not so
connected, then it could not pump salt
water into them. It is also on general
principles unlikely that concern with
such immense wealth and enormous
interests would put itself directly with
in reach of the law by a premeditated
criminal act.
Nevertheless, the public will very
report until it has been disproved. The
Standard Oil company is one of the
concerns where the common rule of
law is reversed. The custom is to hold
it guilty of any charge until it has been
proved innocent. And the reason for
that is not merely that it is master of
untold wealth, not because it comes
nearer to having an absolute monopoly
in its line than any other corporation
in existence save those protected by the
patent laws, but because it has an evil
history

Gently, with it's fearful list Of men
bought and ruined. of legislatures cor

rocked whether the means it used were
fair or foul, without feeling that there
were few things that it would not do.
The act charged against it differs from
some that it has committed rather in
it's contempt for the penalties of law
than i'll actual iniquity.
The accusation ought to be and
doubtless will be thoroughly investi-
gated. If it is mere product of en-
yious rivalry, then the company should
be publicly acquitted. If it should be
found to have a basis of truth, then the
offenders should be followed ruthlessIy
until they are within prison walls. This
would be not the mere injustice of
greed, but an overt crime as disgrace
full as that of the burglar or highway
man. Nothing could have a more sal
utary effect upon the public mind than
to have it meet the same punishment:
and that not merely in the persons of
irresponsible agents, but in the chief
offenders themselves. The truth, at
any rate, must be made known.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
The state department has received q

a riot occurred yesterday at Beirut in
which seven Christians were killed and
several wounded. Two houses occu-
pied by Christians were pillaged by the
soldiery. The panic was general An
officer and signal man from Admiral
Cotton's fleet are now in the consulate.
and an investigation of conditions at
Beirut is being made by a flag lieu
tenant Consul Ravndal and other con-
sular officers. Minister Leishman saws
that the origin of the trouble is not
distinctly stated by our consul He
says that 1t is claimed by the Sublime
Porte that conditions at Beirut are
again quiet and the force now there is
sufficient to guarantee the safety of
the city. Lieut.. Charles l.. Hussey is

The navy department has received

Christians, two Mohammedans and one
Turkish soldier were killed. three
Greek Christians, three MOhammedans
and three Turkish soldiers were
wounded seriously. Other murders are
reported. The flag lieutenant and

act with caution"
PARIS, Sept S.-Official advices re-
ceived by the foreign office here give
details of the outbreak at Beirut. The
killed number five or six, and many
persons were wounded. The city is in
an intense state of agitation.
The outbreak occurred during the
night Of Sept 6, between Christians
and Mussulmans. The fighting was
furious, firearms and knives being
used. The Italian consul rescued one
Christian who had been stabbed and
who had fallen in front of the door OF
the consulate.
A dispatch to the Temps from Con-
stantinople says that when the SOL
diers and police sought to stop the en-
counter between the Mussulmans and
Christians, which occurred near the
orthodox church, the ghting became
general and resulted in thirty persons
being killed or wounded. The soldiers
lost one man killed and had three men
wounded. The trouble, the correspond
ent adds, began during the evening OF
Sept. 5, when three Christians were as
sassinated in the streets, and continued
Sunday night, when a Christian was
stabbed with poniard by Mussul-
man before the italian consulate.

The Bar Association,

The roster of new officers just chosen
by the American Bar association is
singularly devoid of names recognized
as belonging to lawyers enjoying ma
tional reputation in their profession.
While the men thus honored doubtless
stand we'll in their own localities and
are perhaps fairly representative of
the average membership of the asso-
citation. they are not the leaders of the
American bar and will certainly suffer
by comparison with the great jurists
who In the past have gladly served in
those capacities. This tendency to
lower the standard of it's officers on the
part of the American Bar association
is regrettabie. IF it is not checked
the association itself is sure to lose in
influence and prestige.-Omaha Bee.

Another Suggestion.
the Editor of The Globe:

To the Editor of The Globe:
Everybody agrees that a cross town
street car line Is needed and presume
suggestions are In order. The route
ought to be as practical as possible,
that is to say accommodating the
most people With the least expense to
the Twin City Rapid Transit company,
and which can be carried out in the
least time.
I suggest to- Start at West Seventh
and Garfield streets, follow Garfield
street to Ramsey street, here follow
Grand avenue line up as far as Dale
street, here going north on Dale street
to University avenue; here follow
Hamline line. AT the corner of Lex
ington avenue and Minnehaha street,
it is but five or ten minute walk to
Como park, still a track could be laid
to the park to be used during sum-
mer months, a bridge across the rail-
road tracks on Lexington avenue is
already there. Again we follow the
Hamline line to Hamline; here the
track could be extended to the fair
ground.

EMPEROR RAISES DUST.
Wilhelm Leads Cavalry Corps to VIC
torious Attack.

HALLE, Sept. S.-The emperor, who
is attending the army maneuvers in
this vicinity, passed last night under a
huge asbestos tent The emperor to-
day led a cavalry corps, composed of
sixteen regiments, on the Prusstan, or
so-caIled Redarmy side, against the
Saxon army, otherwise the Blues. The
empress and Princess Victoria Louise
followed the operations in four-horse
carriage.
The twelve thousand horses led by
the emperor kicked up an immense
amount of dust on the dry fields over
which they passed, which betrayed the
movements of the cavalry. The Sax
ons, who were entrenched and who
have cleverly posted their artillery, re-
cefved the attack with the fire of all
their machine and other quick firing
guns in a way that in real war could
have quickly decimated the emperor's
force But the emperor galloped in
whirlwind of dust, penetrated the Sax
on line and the umpire decided that
the Saxons were defeated and caused
them to retreat across the Saale.

La JEUNE FILE.

A youthful writer Of society novels,
uct. made the following naive confess
sion in recent interview: Now, i
write on order-that is, am asked to
write for such and such periodicals a
story Of certain length. Of course, I
can choose my own subject and meth
cd of treatment so long as don't get
far away from my own expected at
mosphere. The harping on one string
gets little monotonous to the author,
but in these days one must write what
the public likes-and the love story for
the jeune file is one of the popular
things" *
The young writer makes his confess
sion, not sadly, but In the nonchalent
manner of one who discloses situa-
ton he has long ago accepted. That he
should be repressed for the benefit Of
the American Young Person seems to
him not an inhuman, not even a cruel
thing. If 1t has involved sacrifices, he
is too gallant to refer to them, for he
sized the Young Person ever since it's
founders gazed with straining eyes out
across the blue Atlantic to catch a
glimpse of a petticoat under the white
sails.
But to those who have been hoping
that the American Young Person was
losing her unconsciously assumed
place as literary and dramatic censor,
the authors confession comes like a
dash of cold water. It proves that her
tyranny is not thing of the past.
The Young Person loves 1ollipops; and
since America loves the Young Per-
son not wisely but too we'll, the Mid
dle-aged Person and the Old Person
have been forced to feed upon them
unless, indeed, they have had the cour-
age to expatriate themselves so far as
the literature of the land is concerned,
and woe betide them if they put the
literature of another land upon the
stage.
The strong cry for Ibsen and for
Tolstoi. but gallantry continues to
plead the cause of the Young Person
and Clyde Fitch is substituted. The
Young Person possesses the land, and
it is not considered meet or just that
there should be numbered among her
possessions anything that resembles in
the remotest degree strong food. The
dramatist has long been sacrificed to
her, and now 1t seems the writer must
bow before her throne.
The Young Person of other lands
possesses the nursery and the school
room, and there are well defined
boundaries that separate these from
the world beyond. In her domain she
eats lollipops to her hearts content;
and because they happen to be the
proper things for her age. she enjoys
them and suffers no evil effects. She
does not make plays, nor does she un-
make authors. Publishers do not or
der so many yards of story with a
view to pleasing her, for she is not the
reading public.
Perhaps. in the course of time, the
Young Person will be dethroned in
America. 1t may seem an ungallant
act, but this lack of gallantry will be
