Two Boom Schemes.

Atlanta wants the earth. It Is schem- ing to put the Peabody fund in an At lanta college, thereby robbing the cot ton states of funds sadly needed, which are now beneficially expended in pro noting education in each state. At lanta, however, wants all of 1t, and II has concocted a scheme by which the entire fund will be concentrated in a college to be built in Atlanta.
 Nor is this all It proposes to con solidate the Southwestern university of Clarksville, Tennessee, and the The ological seminary of Columbia, South Carolina, because it wants both joined in a Presbyterian university to be built in Atlanta. This scheme looks to the outvoting of the synods of Ten nessee and South Carolina by the syn ods of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana
 Both schemes are absolutely and wholly selfish, the real object being the booming of Atlanta, which is not as prosperous as it's citizens desire it to be. There is nothing in the educa- tional situation that calls for either change, and if the Peabody fund is used to boom Atlanta, it is to be hoped the ghost of George Peabody will ap- pear every night on the campus con structed with his ill-used money. As TOT the Presbyterian scheme the Pres. byterians of seven states can be trusted to see that town-building does not in. terfere with their established and use, ful institutions.

WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.

From the New York Evening World
 The interesting thing about the Chicago project to establish a newspaper to be controlled, edited and published by women Is that the invasion of journalism by the sex has become so general as to make this venture possible, with more than a likelihood of success.
 The ranks of pressmen and stereo- typers have not yet been opened to newspaper making they are now repre- sented in numbers As editors, editorial writers, reporters, business managers, cashiers, auditors, circulators, they now possess full and intimate acquaintance with realm which In the last genera tion, except for a few Jenny Junes, Kate Fields and Elizabeth Cady Stantons, was exclusively mans
 It Is now feasible to fill all the respon- slbe posts In a daily newspaper office of any but the first class with women of proved competence.
 The emancipation of the sex has gone far in making 1t thus possible to recruit a full staff from women newspaper workers No other nation can point to anything comparable with this in fem mine progress. The restraining condi- tIons which the German kaiser summar- ized in his recommended restriction of women to church, children and kitchen are too powerful on the continent to be broken by the most persistent propa- ganda of women leaders. The restriction remains intact in Germany while here it Is rope of sand.

estimates are based on the condition of the soil and of the standing wheat The soil is full of moisture, and the growing plants are in fine condition.
 On May 10 the department of agri- culture at Washington will issue an estimate of the winter wheat crop. and this is awaited with considerable interest, for after that time the win ter wheat crop is beyond danger of serious harm. The spring wheat crop may be injured by dry weather and hot winds in the summer months, as may the corn crop, but if the winter wheat crop is full Of promise on May 10 there will be big crop of it.
 The Chicago Tribune declares that crop conditions "could not well be im- proved" ana it does not hesitate to say that the average condition of win ter wheat is 95, and that there will be crop of 40O,000,00O bushels. This would be a record breaking crop. The crops in France, Germany and other European countries are not looking very good, and whatever crop the United States may have will be needed in some part of the world.

A BOOK BY DR. MORGAN?

From the New York World.
 There Is a literary man in this town who has written six hundred books. All he asks is a title and he will turn out a book to fit it while you wait.
 May we suggest to any publisher keen enough to see a great opportunity when 1t is pointed out to him that there is a title simply clamoring for a book to fit it ? All the six best sellers" of the week would have to hide their heads In the presence of work entitled
 "Undigested Securities and How to Digest Them, by Pierpont Morgan"
 There Is no limit to the interesting topics that might be treated In such book For instance: What constitute undigested se- curities? Why are they undigested? What kind of financial stomach would digest them best? What will happen If they are not digested? What doctors have made a of indigestion?
 An interesting chapter might deal with the securities of the International Mer- cantile Marine company. better known as the Shipping Trust
 Judging from the contortions of the market one would imagine that a consid- erable part of the stock of this corpora = ton should have been liberally peptonized before swallowing. The curb thinks that 12iA Is fair measure of its value
 Does MT. Morgan happen to konw of the existence of any large amounts of un- dlgested shipping trust securities? And will they be worth more after they have been digested?

Capital and Labor.

The Right Rev. John Lancaster Spald- ing, bishop of Peoria, H., after five months service on the anthracite coal strike commission has been interviewed at length by the Cincinnati Enquirer. He says he Is more than ever impressed with the problems confronting capital and la Tor. He declares that compulsory inves- tigaton of the affairs of great corpora tions and of trade unions seems to point to the solution of the strike measure and It's cause. But he is certain of the imprac- ticability of compulsory arbitration In the United States no matter under what au- thorty it be imposed
 Looking back upon the work of the anthracite coal strike commission 1t is the opinion of Bishop Spalding that this commission, even with the expenditure of five months time and perhaps $l,O00,OO0 accomplished that which the United States government, with 100000 troops, could not have done in years.
 Ut could have maintained peace, per haps," said Bishop Spaldng. Tt could have protected non-union workmen in their work, provided these non-union men might have been found to work the mines. But where would they have come from? There was no yielding among the Italians and Slavs in that mining district.
 Physically they were of class not to suffer greatly if forced to live on $4 or s5 a month, and in this strike sentiment there was the fervor almost of religion. Viewed from the point of cost the award of the commission was reached at com paratively small outlay Look at the mil lions already lost in the strike and at the suffering caused through that whole region. and when 1t is considered that the conditions that existed there were i'm possible of classifieation1s that even with the individuals in an individual mine broad distinctions had to be made In weighing grievances, it may we'll be grant ed that not in, another industry in Amer lea could there be situation so full of complications"
 It is understood that the bishop will prepare an exhaustive paper on the ques- ton of trades unionism in all Its sociological bearings. He Is in thorough sympathy with the wage worker, but he Is also strictly conservative and says that trades unions are in need of conser- vative counsel.
 Bishop Spalding is a lineal descendant of Lord Baltimore, a lxinsmans of Chief Justice Fancy and of three of the arch bishops of Baltimore, including Arch bishop Carroll, the first American Catho- He bishop. His 29 years as bishop of Peoria have served to make him more than the representative of his church. Protestant no less than Catholic has been led to honor him.

Iudue Adams Decision.

The Wabash railroad and it's em- ployes have settled their differences amicably. and the employees got much the better end of the settlement. Their wages have been handsomely advanced, and the working conditions they asked for granted.
 The settlement of what promised to be a huge and stubborn strike on the Gould roads is due no doubt to the decision of Judge Adams in the famous injunction case. He dissolved the in- function that forbade the officers of a union to strike or to take any similar step. Judge Adams dissolved it, be- cause he became satisfied that lawful strike was contemplated, and he laid down the proposition that within the law employees are as free to combine AS employers, and all the world knows the latter are engaged in all sorts or combinations. Employes. may strike in concert just as employers frequently do. The latter strike in concert for this or that regulation, or for this or that wage scale. So may the employees, and no court should say them nay if they refrain from violence or unlawful acts. The lawful and permissible strike is. in other words, within the law.
 The final decision of Judge Adams is an important step in the constant friction between capital and labor, and if will doubtless stand a long time as the most distinct definition of the re- lations existing between two clashing interests, and particularly of the rights of union labor desiring to act in con cert The Adams decision will long serve as a precedent, and the labor les.ders have won a peaceful but far reaching victory.
 Presumably the case will go no fur ther, because all differences on the Wabash system have been settled and adjusted, and there is nothing at stake that demands more legal hearings. Judge Adams decision was speedily followed by an agreement much as he recommended. It was what he hoped for, and the entire proceeding in the Wabash trouble is one that all labor leaders would do well to study and initiate

Affairs in the Philippines.

The Presidents speech at Fargo, North Dakota, was devoted to matters in the Philippines and to the army, the two being cognate subjects inseparably joined together. The President insists that all promises made by the republi- can party to the Filipinos have been fulfilled. Peace and order have been restored-on paper He admits that there were Jake Smith Irregularities, put these have been minimized or pun ished. Civil government has nomi- nally supplanted military rule, although more troops are kept there than were included in the entire regular army in democratic administrations.
 President Roosevelt commends the legislation of the last congress in the interests of the Filipino. people, giving them currency system and home constabulary, but inflicting upon them three-quarters share of Dingleyism, although they are part and parcel of this country. The tariff imposed on Filipino articles demonstrates beyond the power of words that the little brown people are subjects living in colony and as such they will remain while the Dingley party remains In power.
 Very naturally the President drops the discussion of the Philippines to take up the subject of the army, the two being interdependent. He virtu- ally commends an army of 60,000 men, although an army of 25,000 men had been considered sufficient down to the Mckinley administration. He com mends, too, the general staff bill "mada in Germany" and the quasi organiza- tion of the militia as part of the reg ular army in times of war or internal disturbance. "The militia law" says the President, enacted by con- gross marks the first long step ever taken in this direction by the national government. It does indeed, and If future congresses are republican in both branches no doubt it will be en- larged and broadened and deepened fha ie. loo T, the regular army, thus giving us an establishment as large as Germany's and moro expensive-a war establish ment that will awe all enemies of our noble band of campaign contributors, rendering them strong, secure and ag- | gressive.

 @HE late Gustavus Swift was not an 9 aphorismer of. of the the ssntsnt,oes ssetD1,soDs maxims left by him are, in their way valuable contribution to that department of literature known as ''ana." He was not a sentimentalist like Boyle, who couio turn the accidents of daily life to moral uses. and was led naturally by the sight of a child picking plums out of a piece of cake into a meditation showing that i've are not exclusively to seek amuse- ment from the ornamental parts or DOCKS and discourses, but to add to 1t a wish for instruction from the more solid ar guments." Boyle was moralist who would shoot a crow and then fetch one of its uuills to trace long reflection on the mutability of worldly conditions; "How little did this crow imagine" etc. MT. Swift lived in buster age and he had no leisure for discourses in which Eusebius continues" on page ?, 'pur- sues" on page and 'subjoins' on page 4. He was all for the solid arguments commended by Boyle, but he dispensed them in pellets, such as the following:
 No man, however rich, has enough mon- ey to waste in putting on style
 The richer a man gets the more careful he should be to keep his head level.
 Business. religion, and pleasure of the right kind should be the only things In life for any man.
 Every time man loses his temper ne loses his head. and when he loses ms head he loses several chances
 Next to knowing your own business a mighty good thing to know as niuei about your neighbours as possipie' specially If he's in the same line.
 The successful men of today worked hard for what they've got. The men Of tomorrow will have to work harder to get it away.
 No young man is rich enough to smoke 25-cent cigars.
 This was the creed of a man worth s7. GOO. ,o. Out of 1t his great namesake. the Dean of St. Patrick's, could well have drawn some further arguments for his "sermon on the Poor Mans Content ment.' It is the gospel of material sue cess. the gospel of getting on in the world. In every line we read the well trained level-headed business man. the man bound, indeed, to achieve success, but at the cost. surely, of much that makes life beautiful. What does MT. Swifts ideal man know of the pleasures of contemplation, of the joy of life. of the joy of art? Is there anything in these practical rules of conduct that betrays a consciousness of the deeper and nohler sensibilities? Your business" your neighbor's business" ss"-success In business and the accumulation of riches are put forward as the only worthy end of ann bitlon. And the end of philosophy is not to miss chance.
 But how much must such man miss in another sense! To a mind of this pat tern the finer pleasures of life are surely

READING CHARACTER BY
 VARIOUS OUTWARD SIGNS

and opinions of a number of schoolmas- ters. The comparison of hair-color and eye-color with temper. health, conscien- tiousness. intelligence, popularity. etc. yielded the general conclusion that on the whole the red boys were more conscien- tious, more quick tempered and more delicate, the black ones being less con- scientious, more sullen, and less delicate. There seemed to be a good deal in the attempt to read character by handwriting, and the investigation of 600 specimens of handwriting (crudely classified according to general goodness) indicated that bad writing was a warning note. With regard to the connection of size of head and in telligence, the data taken from 1000 Cam bridge undergraduates showed that on the whole the head was longest for those who took first-class honors and shortest Tor poll-men, but there was not enough cor relation to render prediction possible, all that could be said being that, If two in 100 were men of exceptional ability their average head-length would be greater than 54 per cent of the community and smaller than A per cent. Again, there was a high correlation between intelligence and aptitude for athletics, and the ten dency was for the athletic boy to be healthy, intelligent, quiek-tempered, not sullen, self-conscious, noisy above the average, and distinctly popular. In con clusion, Prof. Pearson thought real science of judging character was possible to a certain extent. though we should never be able to predict of the individual or to say more than that there was probability of his falling into a certain
