NorWav's Referendum.

In Norway manhood suffrage is the rule, and yet she Is to have king because, being small and weak, she will not be so apt to be molested and bullied if she has king instead of a president. If all things were equal Norway would doubtless prefer a pres ident, but as things are she accepts through her storthing a king
 It seems to be settled that Prince Charles, a son of the aged king of Den mark, Is to be the choice of Norway, but before he accepts the crown his candidacy Is to be referred to the peo- ple for confirmation. An election is to be held for the selection of king. hood suffrage is method that the twentieth century has introduced, and ( novel election 1t will be. His title to the throne will be complete when he has the mandate of the people in his hands. It will be the most authorita- tive offer of crown that ever came to an aspiran. for kingly honors.
 The precedent thus set in Norway will serve throughout the century, and perhaps we will see no more kings placed on thrones by the sword, by usurpation or by the action of class or clique. The people are coming into their own, and when a king is to be selected they will make the selection. Long live the Norwegians.

TENNsEssEE COMPLAINTS ORE.
Stock RefIecting Appreciation of Com
 pany's Vast Properties.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 The same forces that operated to ad-
 vance Great Northern and Reading are
 now, 1t is argued, operating in Tennessee
 Coal and Iron. Increasing value in
 Great Northern's large iron ore proper
 ties advanced Great Northern stock many
 points and increasing value in Reading
 coal measures Is being reflected in Read
 ing stock. The Tennessee Coal and Iron
 company, as is well-known, has vast hold
 ings of both iron ore and coal. An in-
 vestigating committee within year re-
 ported that the company had in sight
 405 100000 tons of iron ore and 1,6o00O0,Oo0
 tons of coal. At the present rate of pro-
 duction the ore could not be converted into iron in two centuries. As the cost of Lake Superior ore laid down at lako ports increases, the enhancement in valuS of Tennessee Coal and Irons ore hold
 ings necessarily goes on.
 The success of the open hearth rail Is
 of the highest possible importance. It has proved to be tougher than the ordinary
 rail and is pronounced to be more dur able, 1t is now only a question of time when a great steel industry, rivalling that
 at Pittsburg, will de developed in the Bir- mingham district. Already the earning power of the company has greatly in-
 creased. It is now producing rails at the | rate of 250,0O0 tons year, pig iron at tho | rate of 100000 tons year and coal at the | rate of 4.50O000 tons a year. During the miners strike last year, coal cutting ma | chimes were introduced, with the result | that each miner now produces a ton and | a half day more than he did last year. | This adds greatly to the profits from the | coal business The company operates | twenty iron ore mines, twenty-four coal | mines and seventeen blast furnaces, be- sides rail, bar and plate mills employing
 about 5000 men.
 | It is asserted by friends of Tennessee Coal and Iron that 1t now has a good deal | larger earning power on It's stock than
 has Reading, and that 1t will benefit pro- | portionately more from increased values
 of coal and ore property. They believe | than in 1906 1t will show an earning
 power of better than 25 per cent and that it will cross Reading in price that year Figuring profit of $4 ton on it's | pig iron and SIS on Its rails, and with no more than 90 cents a ton on the 2,500000 | the company, it is estimated by experts. | is earning better than 20 per cent on its stock capital

The Rlahts of Property.

"In an address made in England twenty years ago." said prominent educator last night at the Hillman, "the late James Russell Lowell of Massachusetts, who was at that time United States minister to Great Britain, made a remark that should be we'll digested at this time by persons who direct the management of large corporations.
 MT. Lowell, in speaking of democ- racy, said that the people seldom if ever demand the unreasonable till the reason- able has been denied them.
 MT. Gladstone, few years later, In an address in parliament enforced similar idea He said that while civilized society rests in large measure upon the rights of property yet property-owners should remember that If they persisted in stretching too far the technically legal rights of property, as the French Bour- bons had done before the French Revo- lution, they would run the risk of waking S up some morning and finding. even as-the French nobles had found. that they had no property to protect.
 The outcry throughout the United States against vested interests at this tlme," added the educator, lis. 1 think, due to the fact that the warnings of Lowell and Gladstone have been disre- garded."

EFFORT WILL BE MADE
 FOR CONSULAR REFORM

dignified figure. But at many other points the salaries attacheds to the consular or fees will not pay the expenses of the oc- cupants Several consuls receive $l000 a. year each, many others s12O0, and the majority less than 5000 a year. The average salary of our consuls is probably less than $500 a year.
 Under the present arrangement con- sular office is a commercial agent pure and simple. When he is expected to piece out his salary with agents commissions he usually secures the agency for several American manufacturers and exporters, and quite naturally he devotes most of his time to his outside business. When con- sul on commissions Is asked to make a n investigation in certain direction for an American company in which. there Is little promise of substantial pay, he will not de- vote as much serious attention to this bus- mess as he will to selling his own goods on commission. Thus the average consul is merely foreign salesman doing busi- ness on his own account under the guar antee of the United States. This is good thing for some favored manufacturers and exporters, but it is exceedingly bad for others. Our consuls should receive decent salaries, and the commission system this way may the consuls be of free bene- fit to all the people whom they are ap- pointed to serve

CALDWELL PORTRAIT DOWN.
Picture of the Marquise de MerlnviIle
 Out of the Catholic University.

Washington special to the New York Sun.
 The board of trustes of the Cath ollie University held it's last meeting yes terday, when they hung a portrait of Cardinal Martineli in the main parlor of divinity or Caldwell Hall The portrait was hung In spot previously occupied by that of Miss Gwendolyn Caldwell now the Marquise de Merinville. The portrait was taken down at the urgent request of her friends and was seat to her home at Lakewood. N. J., where she now is in a serious condition of health.
 The removal of the portrait was made reluctantly by the trustees and no dis cussion of the Marquse and her with drawal from the Catholic church was in- dulged in at the meeting. An expression of sympathy was made by all the trustees for her and her condition of almost total blindness and approaching deafness. No action was taken with regard to the changing of the name of Caldwell Hall. and none will be unless the request comes from the legal advisers of ths Marquise.
 Caldwell Hall was built and presented to the university by the Marauise before her marriage. She presented the portrait of herself later, to be hung in the par;or. This is the portrait which created much comment because of the decoliete gown in which the subject was painted. On the morning after 1t was hurg the good fathers in the university were astonishcd to see the bare neck and arms of the donor properly clothed. One of the bishops had sent for an artist, who paint ed white yoke and a pair of sleeves into the picture

Founder of Y. M. c. A,

Sir George Williams of London, the founder of the Young Mems Christian as- soelation, whose death occurred last week will be buried at St. Pauls cathedral to- morrow.
 A Christian worker, in speaking of Sir George, said: His was a most remark able career. He began life as clerk in dry goods store. At the age of 22 he organized a few of his fellow clerks for the purpose of holding daily prayer meet lngs. His business career was successful lie became a member of the firm for which he worked, and during long life amassed a fortune. He was generous glVer. Queen Victoria knighted Mir Will Hams at the jubilee of the Young Mems Christian association in 1894 Sir George was then presented with the freedom of London, an honor accorded few men, Alderman Dimsdale in moving this honor before the aldermanic board said:
 George Williams came as a young man to the city of London. He has lived in this city fifty years. and his aim has been to promote the highest welfare of the young men of the city. Any man who lives such a life here is worthy of the best the city can give
 Sir George Williams was a member of the Church of England"

Germany and the United States.

When the Senate meets next month the President will lay before it trade treaty recently negotiated between Germany and this country. Both coun- tries seem to have come to the con clusion that tariff wars can be carried too far and too freely.
 But the proposed treaty will be fought strenuously by the men who are footing the country under the Dingley act. The duty on beet sugar will no doubt be slated in the treaty for reduction, for that is a product of Germany. The American beet sugar interest is well organized, and it will fight the proposition Other special in- terests will join in the fight, and the proposed treaty will not be put through the Senate easily or speedily It means fight with the standpatters
 Unless the new treaty is ratified by pAoi Sh hiiS LcW oCi ildl IiCdlJ VIII go into effect We sell $100,000 900 more to Germany than Germany sells to us, and unless we ratify the pend ing preferential treaty our trade will be seriously hurt. Germany is an ex- cellent customer.
 The German ambassador, Baron Speck von Sternburg, is now in Wash ington, and he will urge before this government the advisability of rect procity treaty which will bring to both the best favored treatment in tariff rates. Standpattism is up against the proposed German treaty. It must ac- cept it. or be prepared to see heavy duties applied to our meats, cereals and other products, including manu- factured goods. Germany has modi- fled her tariff from time to time, and she sees no reason why she should not do so again, always provided this coun- try will meet her half way. The standpatters are in peck of trouble.

The Central Fair.

"The Central fair just closed at Selma made a very credtable display of the thrift and prosperity of the people in the Black Belt" said Lieutenant Governor R. M Cunningham yesterday.
 Selma is in one of the finest agricul- tural sections of the state. Its people are noted for their thrift and enterprise. The exhibits of live stock and other farm products at the Central fair were inter esting and educative.
 "These agricultural fairs are very profit able and should be encouraged. An an- nual fair in every county in the state would be profitable and of inestimable value to the farmers of every section of the state They arouse healthy competi- tion among the people and tend to inn prove the quality of farm products raised in the state.
 '.The people of the Black Belt deserve credit for the fine showing made at the Central fair"

IAN DLOcKED.

By Celia Thaxter. Black lie the hills, swiftly doth daylight
 flee.
 And catching gleams of sunsets dying
 smile,
 Through the dusk land for many q
 changing mile The river runneth softly to the sea. o happy river, could follow thee, yearning heart, that never can be wistful eyes, that watch the stead-
 fast hill. E Longing for level line of solemn sea. Have patience-here are flowers and songs
 of birds,
 Beauty and fragrance, wealth of sound
 and sight.
 All summers glory thine from morn till
 night. And life too full of joy for uttered words. Neither am I ungrateful-but I dream Deliciously how twilight falls to night Over the glimmering water, how tho
 light Dies hissfully away. until I seem To feel the wind sea-scented on my cheek. To catch the sound of dusky Tapping And dip of oars. and voices on the gale Afar off, calling low-my name they
 speak! o earthl thy summer song of joy may
 soar
 Ringing to heaven in triumph. but The sad caressins murmur of the wave That breaks in tender music on the shore.

Cremation and Christian Burial.

The body of Henry Irving was ere mated, and yet the dean of Westmin- ster, who is priest of the Protestant Episcopal church-the Anglican church did not object to the burial of the dead actors ashes in the historic old abbey. In other words, the last rites of the Anglican church are not with held from the cremated.
 Heretofore even those who were ready to appreciate the superior sani- tation of cremation withheld approval of the practice because it seemed to run contrary to the belief in the res urrection of the body. As matter of fact there is no difference between ashes and all that the slow decay of time leaves of the body. The inde- structibility of personality-of the soul seems to be what St. Paul teaches, when he says: "It Is sown a natural body; it is raised spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body"
 The dean of Westminster seems to have taken this view of the doctrine, and his action in that direction will perhaps have an important influence in other Protestant churches. The Catholic church denies Christian burial to the ashes of a cremated body but that church is extremely conservative.
 The burial of the ashes of Henry Irving in Westminster Abbey is the first marked departure from time-hon- ored customs, and 1t may give crema- tion a foothold in the churches that has long been lacking. There are plenty of practical reasons in its favor, and if the sentiment of the churches against it should be changed 1t would rapidly displace the older method of burial.

From the Kansas City Journal.

From the kdnsdS Clty Joulhdi'
 ECRETARY TAFT no doubt "N voiced the sentiments or the " President when he defined his position on the needs of our consular system. Secretary Root has also taken an active interest in the subject, and he IS expected to push a. bill in the next session of Congress which is intended to elevate the consular service to a grade commen- surate with its dignity and commercial importance All who are posted on the needs of reform in this direction agree that unless the United States injects new lie into this branch of the administra- ton other nations will reap the harvests of commerce that should be ours.
 The consular service of the United States was inaugurated at a time when comparatively few men could adequately represent this government abroad, and the salaries were based on conditions which then prevailed. Some consuls were given fees with which to augment their pay, but in many instances these fees have either failed altogether or have been totally inadequate. The salary basis of our consular system is almost ridiculous in the light of modern standards. The po- sitions that pay salary of 5000 a year may be counted on one hand. and include Liverpool, London, Paris and Berlin. In some other positions the fees are suffi- clent to raise the remuneration to this

That Chinese Boycott.

The official figures show that in the eight months ended August 31--the boycott period-the exports from the United States to that country were unusually heavy. They were $42,290,' 996, as against $13,74S,043 during the corresponding period of 1904 and $11,' 347,929 in 1903. The so-called boycott therefore trebled our exports instead of reducing them, as the students and MT. Wu had expected.
 The truth is, home conditions in China did not favor. the boycott. The country is prosperous and hopeful, and its development along all lines in the next ten years promises to be won derful. Manchuria, too, had been opened to trade, and goods poured in through Newchaus. These changes

ZEBRA FARM STARTED IN
 THE CONGO FREE STATE

around the edge of the kraal, as though they were in circus.
 Some of the zebras tried very hard to get out of their prison. and five of them killed themselves by dashing against the walls that restricted their freedom. The greatest difficulty was in watering the animals Two large, zinc lined boxes in the enclosure were kept filled with fresh river water, but many of the animals re- fused to drink it, and in eight days twenty had died either from thirst or from drink ing too much.
 Meanwhile fifty little stables, each of them twelve feet square. were built just outside the fence, with openings into the enclosure. There was a stable for each animal, and here they were fed.
 At the end of the first week the zebras were shut in the stables at feeding time. with native for company, who tried to cultivate friendly relations by holding out tempting morsel in his hand or gently batting the animal if the chance offered The natives were told to be very gentle and quiet, and under no circumstances to strike the zebras. It is remarkable that not single native was hurt in this early stage of the tanning process.
 Lieutenant Nys reports that in about fifteen days most of the animals had be- come almost as siocle as the donkeys of Europe. They would come to their keep CTS to be fed from the hand, and they sought no more to avoid them or to break out of the kraal.
 At last accounts the work of breaking the zebras to harness was about to begin, and Lieutenant Nys wrote that the ex- pertinent was certain to be a great suc- cess. He has sent photographs to Eu- rope showing the zebras in the kraal and their little stables, which are nothing more than walls of palisades surmounted by thatched roofs.
 Nys estimates the number of zebras in the district as over 50,000 They have never been hunted by the white man, and hereafter will be fully protected. | lHe expresses his surprise to find that they may be tanned so easily. As he wrote one zebra was following man who had petted him like dog.
 The German traveller Otto Eklers ex- presses the opinion that a zebra can be broken to the saddle in an hour. The governor general of German East Africa has a team of six zebras which he drives around the streets of Dar-es- -Salaam. Tho Germans in East Africa are also crossing the zebra with the donkey and assert that the half breed is better fitted for work in tropical Africa than the mule.

The Money Market.

Henry Clewss in his Wall street letter of Saturdays date, says:
 Monetary conditions control the stock market just now and prices are declining in consequence. Were it not for the pres ent high rates of interest we might be revelling in a possibly dangerous bull speculation. With call money quoted, how ever, between and 15 per cent, and scarce at that, the inducements for oper- ations on the long side are naturally sus- pended. Bank reserves are much de- pleted while loans are greatly extended i; and, legitimate demands for funds being heavy with the prospect of increasing rather than diminishing, there is little money at present available for speculative purposes in the stock market Little if any aid can be expected from the gov- ernment, and the only remedy In sight is contraction of loans in order to meet other urgent demands. Sue attraction of course falls most severely upon pure ly speculative operations and liquidation in stocks naturally follows. The local money market is still threatened with gold exports. and large sums are due to Japan
 
 transmitted at the first favorable oppor- tunity. In fact, there is strong pre- sumption that remittances for this ac- count are already being quietly made The improvement in the Russian situation also strengthens the probabilities of a large Russian loan.
 The local election had little effect upon the stock market. In any event it's in- municipal service corporations or those which might possibly be brought within sight of municipal ownership, and their 1 importance is limited. So far as New prospect of this contingency. The muni- cipal ownership movement has undoubted- ly been tremendously stimulated by cor poration abuses and shortcomings, but confirm the idea that this city is ready | for so radical and momentous a change. Bad as may have been the treatment which the citizens of New York have re- ceived at the hands of It's transportation and lighting corporations, there is no as- surance that 1t would be served any bet ter under the present political conditions in New York. What Is possible in Glas- gow, Leeds, London, Berlin and other European cities, where political conditions are much better, would not be possible in | New York;
