Iillman'S Attorneys
Have Not Decided What to do
About Bail-Tillman's Great
disappointment.
Record, goth inst.

Record, goth inst.
Tho decision not to grant bail
to James Ii. Tillman certainly
was deep and bitter disappo,nt-
msnt 10 Ti!lman. So confident
was he that he would be allowed
bail, that he had his bond already
signed by good sureties, and all
that remained to be done was to
insert the amount and approve the
securities. 1t is said that Col.
Illlman had submitted his securi>
ties to Clerk of Court Walker,
who had to approve them in or
der that there should be no delay
IN furnishing the bond and secur-
ing his release. He is very tired
of confinement and firmly expect
ed t" be set at liberty. The de
cision of the chief justice com
pleteiy up set his plans.
The attorneys for Tillman have
not yet decided exactly what stops
they will take in the matter. Col
Nelson, when asked about it this
morning, stated that it was too
soon after the decision to be
able to state what would be done.
The general impression seems to
be now that no melton for con-
tlnuance will be made since the
application for bail was refused,
but that the trial will be held in
April.

The legislature wound up it's

sessions last night, and practical

appropriate responses, referring
to the nest gratifying fact that

Books and Authors
a FORGOTTEN AUTHOR


In the June Atlantic, H. s.. Pancoast ear
nestly commends Thomas Day as a patriot:
social reformer and author. who had a;
large share In the spiritual characterization
OF England. Comparatively few of the
present generation know anything about
Day, but he was knowf, very well in this
country along the middle OF the last CEN
furry as the writer Of some very popular,
stories for young people. Mr.. Pancoast
says ut is but just that his reputation as
a writer should rest; chiefly on Sanford
and Mertons and his History OF Little
Jack" He classes him with Maria Edge.
worth and Hannah Moore. but the two
stories of Day referred to, are much more
effective than those Of Miss Moore or Miss
Edgeworth. They could we'll be reprinted,
for. altho they are not twentieth century
tales, with electricity as familiar as house
hold words, they deal with child nature
and Its phenomena most admirably and
the child problems dealt with by Day are
largely the same which press for atten-
ton and solution to-day. In this country
the story sandford and Merton" had
large vogue among the boys. A high
standard Of moral conduct was set before
them, not in stilted and wall eyed prose,
but in a most agreeable and fascinating
style.

A Brown Peril.

The Chicago Tribune is fond Of bringing
out sensations. It used to discourse ner-
vously about "the yellow peril" meaning
that the whole civilized world was men
aced by the awakening of China from her
centuries Of sonnmolence, for strenuous
crusade against the outside world. The
yellow peril certainly does not seem
formidable since the absurd collapse Of
the imperial governments combination
with the boxers, under the most agrees
sive Of Chinese rulers, the Dowager Ts'ze-
Hi-Twan- Yu-K 'ang- X ing, who has the
emperor tied to her apron strings. The
yellow peril" played itself out in 1900.
There is no unity Of action in China to
make a yellow peril and China bids fair
tossee disintegration under the persistent
manoeuvers of the western powers. The
Tribune sees the yellow peril near
revival under the leadership of Japan;
That makes 1t a Drown peril instead OF
a. yellow peril" The idea Is that some
japanese Alexander will start out west
ward to conquer the world, drawing upon
China's yellow millions for soldiers, and
stimulating them to the extreme fghtine
fervor under Jap officers trained in mod.
ern tactics. It is probable that the west.

Curiosities Of Suicide.

Professor Bailey of Yale university has
made a profound study of the statistics
of suicide In the United States in the
period 1s97-1901.
There were 2s,S44 cases Of suicide In all,
and Of these he takes 10000 cases for con-
venience. finding that 1871 Of the suicides,
were males, 2,219 females; the favorite
period for suicide. between 80 and 40
years, with the period between 20 and 80
a close second. Significant is it that the
married suicides numbered 4,SO7 Of whom
$50 were females. and the unmarried
numbered 4,054, Of whom s25 were women.
OF widowed persons there were 679, Of
whom 1873 were women and Of the 1913
divorced persons only 81 were women.
Shooting was the favorite method; poison
next drowning, cutting and hanging
next. The leading procuring cause Of
suicide was dependency. Alcoholism sent
seventeen times more men than women to
suicide.
1t appears that the married state fur
nishes the largest number of suicides and
four times as many men as women
Widowhood drove three times as many
men to suicide as women. S
There is hardly any law Of suicide to
be drawn from such statistics further
than that i'll health and financial troubles
are very apt to induce acute despondency
which, in the absence OF a deep re-
ligious faith and hope. engenders des-
perate yearning to get out Of ones en-
vironment and take a leap into a very
blackness of darkness tactual in it's dem
sity. There are cases, it is true, where
persons who have been deeply and ra-
tionally religious, have under the stress
OF dependency due to i'll health, yielded
to the suicidal impulse, but such cases
are not numerous. 1t is not surprising
to find such a large number of women
committing suicide by poison. These
numbered 919, more than from any other
cause. Comparatively few women shoot
themselves, but next to poison the figures
show preference for drowning. Com
paratively few women like to jump out oil
| windows or from. .precipices or to stab
themselves. Women have been, in al
| history, experts in poisoning people, and
as death by that method is generally easy
and entails little or no disagreement, II
Is not difficult to understand their pref
erence. The noisy and disfguring method
of shooting suits men, but women natural
ly do not often. take to it. More mer

Is Sir Wilfrid Temporizing?

.
Our washington correspondent reports
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not greatly In
earnest in his apparent interest in an
other sitting Of the international joint
high commission, and that his correspond
ence with Senator Fairbanks Is Of a. tenn
porizing nature which has begun to make
the latter suspect that Sir Wilfrid is
merely trying. to keep string on Ameri-
can reciprocity while waiting to see what
may develop from Chamberlain's adj
vocacy Of reciprocity, within the British
empire, or something Of chat sort On the
other hand, the reports from Ottawa as
sert that there mo change in the Laurier
ministry's attitude toward reciprocity on
account Of Chamberlain's recent speech
taking advanced ground as to preferential
trade within the British empire. Our cor
respondent further says that the govern
ment at Washington intends to force Sir
Wilfrtd to show his hand. OF course, If
1t is really believed that the. Canadian
premier is purposely pursuing a dilatory
policy and is not at heart really inter-
ested any longer in reciprocity with the
United States. the sooner we know it the
better And If such is the case, we can
only blame ourselves.
But it will be we'll to wait for later de-
velopments before concluding that the
outlook for "a meeting Of the joint high
commission in the fall is not so good as
it was q few<weeks ago. Any dependency
as to the outlook the state department
may now entertain may perhaps be at
tributeds to the persistent opposition of
the senate to all reciprocity treaties, and
feeling that 1t is a useless labor to draft
treaties that are SO rarely considered on
their merits by that citadel 81 special in
! terests. Possibly the attributing Of dill
atory policy to Sir Wilfrid Laurier may
result from the inability of the state de-
partment or Senator Fairbanks to assure
| him of g. reasonable probability of favor.
able action by the mossback senate or
any treaty the commission may agree
| upon. In that event the blocking Of rect
procity is our fault and not that Of TIL,
Canadians for from the first suggestion
OF the resumption Of negotiations the Can
adam premier has wisely asked informa
assurances Of a probability Of something
being accomplished. If the fault lies witt
our own government primarily, there i
nothing in the situation to discourage tn
pushing of the campaign for reoiprocit,
with Canada because It has been real
lied by its advocates from the start tina
an immense amount Of home missionar
work was the sine qua non Of success.

An Optimistic View

MI. James Is. DILL the famous New York
corporation lawyer, took for the subject Of
his commencement address at the ,Univer-
s1ty OF Minnesota to-day, Outlook for the
college Graduate in America" AS might
be expected he was not able to get very
far away from his specially, but it is
only fair to say that 1t would be impossible
to discuss the college graduates outlook
now without taking the trust question into
account. Mr.. Dill thinks that his soppor-
tunitfes have not been restricted by the
concentration Of industry. He thinks that
the great modern combinations Of cap
ttal need at their heads men Of broad
training, who are prepared. as the mar
rowly trained specialist cannot be, for
commercial battle on a big scale.
It is very gratifying to learn that Mr..
Dill is of the opinion that the large corpo-
ration is a democratizing institution, and
that it's offices Of power and large SAL
aries, are filled less by reason Of .'pull,''
blood ties and social relations than in the
smaller ones. The modern corporation
manager appreciates the evils of too many
sons and sons-in-Iaw in the business, and
the rich mans son has lost his pull with
him because he feels that the prosperity
Of the corporation depends in a measure
upon having in every position q. man who
earns his salary There is nothing more
discouraging to the deserving worker Of
ambition than to look up the ladder Of

holders, with another generation coming on
