Matters. -.q~~-- ~-+--4--
 The first public lecture given this year under the auspices of the Munic- ipal Government club of Yale univer- sity was delivered Wednesday even- ing, February 15, by Attorney Clinton Rogers Woodruff, of Philadelphia, be- fore a large gathering of interested students in Hendrie Hall. His sub ject was the Municipal Problem and the College man."
 MT. Woodruff dwelt on the great growth of urban life in our country, and contrasted the conditions of to-day with those of century ago, and the enormous increase in per capita expen- ditures in the cities. The increase of the cities in population and area was the first phase of the municipal pro blem taken up by the lecturer.
 Proceeding he dWelt upon the restric- tions and control exercised over the affairs of municipalities by the state legislatures even in minute ma tiers. The result of this he declared to be a breaking down of the feeling of re- sponsibility in the municipality, and a tendency on the part of the people to look to the legislature to correct all their ills. He emphasized the tremen- dous importance of giving the cities the power of home rule, that they may be able to save themselves and not have to depend on. a body outside themselves. ~. f.....

"A Monstrous Doctrine.

Referring to contributions to cam.
paign funds, the Chicago Chronicle
says: They are good or bad, accord.
Ing to the motive with which they are
given and the use to which they are
put" And then referring particular.
ly to insurance contributions to the
republican campaign fund, the Chron.
icle adds: The money used to defeat
William j. Bryan and the democratic
party was obviously put to good use.''
Then, we presume, says The Common
err, 1T is OF no Importance that these
particular contributions were stolen
from the policyholders. A great many
desperate efforts have been made to
support the end justiiles the means'
doctrine; but newspapers OF character
are not as a rule bold enough to sup.
port that doctrine as bluntly as the
Chicago Chronicle does. Carried to Its
logical conclusion the Chronicles doc.

contributing a portion OF his Ill. gotten

Some saroaatio Comment.

at a recent diocesan convention in
the neighborhood Of New York Rev.
John Marshall Chew Of Newburgh Of
fered the following resolution: "Ttat
no talent.for high finance no useful,
service to'the community, no benefac-
tion to the church or to objects of
philanthropy can excuse or atone for
dereliction In trust, contempt for the
rights OF others, or disregard of the
rules Of common honesty" Bishop
Potter opposed the resolution and ad.
ylsed Rev. M. Chew that 1t was un.
timely, and remarked to the effect
that we should not pass Judgment till
a final verdict has been rendered by
those who are Investigating. Toe New
York Evening Post, with charming
sarcasm anent Bishop Potter's views
that the church will get into no END
OF trouble If 1t NEEDLES with morals,
especially those Of the rich" Then
the Post mildly remarks that Rev.
Chew 'wou,d certainly not presume
to sou up mere morality instead Of law
as q test of conduit" IL this sarcasm
has no effect let them refer to the lit.

am related TO Abimelech concerning
the trees that would have a king to
rule over them. 1t would seem that
Bishop Potter Is seeking shade beneath
some very thin financial timber.

A sLI0K TRICK
Said TO Have Boon worked on .
FARMER I'm Union.

A dispatch from Union to the Omar.
lesion Post says is current here about
a well known farmer OF Burnt Facto.
~, a remote sect!ono Of .h:s country,
now having 1,088 more acres OF land
on bis hands than he wants, and for
which ne paid q fancy prics, all on
account Of a slick talking man, who
said he represented the Standard OH
Company, Of Chicago.
The story is that the stranger came
to Union the first Of che month, when
%inanclers and mill men were meeting
here, and registered at the Hotel
Union. He q a man of rather nice
appearance, clean shaver and about
twenty. five years old. In scme way
he became acquainted with the farm.
er, who is about fifty years Of age and
all his life has been g. hard working
and frugal farmer, having now &C.
CURED considerable means.
The stranger told the farmer he
was IN search Of mineral lands for his
company, and after going over the
farmers land, said he wanted the ad.
Joining place also. He asked the
farmer to find out If this could be
bought and at what price, though not
to mention him In 1T, as the owner
might wish too much, ii he thought
an outside man wanted it.
Some days afterward, as the story
continues, the farmer claims to have
reported to his client that he could
get all the land at &10.5 SO an acre,
which Is considerably more than it Is
worth, though he did not say so. The
price seemed satisfactory to the
stranger and he told the farmer to 90
ahead and buy the place, pay for it,
and he would take the two properties
OF his hands, making payment for
both at one time.
1t seems that the farmer then went
TO Spartanburg, where he had some
hard earned savings amounting to,
with interest, over So, 900. This he
drew out, and, it Is said, arranged
with a bank for the balance, mortgag-
ing his property to secure it. He then
paid, so 1t is alleged, his neighbor for
the land, got the title and came to
Union to turn 1t over to the Chicago.
an, but he failed to find bis man.
After two days he returned. The
Ch'cagosn was still absent. Again
last Friday he came, but his would.be
representative Of the Standard OH
Company had entirely disappeared.
NOW the farmer Is anxiously looking
and waiting for news OF him, and in
n meantime is the possessor Of Sill.
4O3 worth OF land that he does not
want. AS to the C%hicagoau, 1t Is
currently believed that he got a good
rake OIL Tor making the sale, and will
never be heard Of again, as a telegram
TO a local newspaper, from the Stand
ard OH Company, Of Chicago, says
that he Is neither now nor has been In
their employ.

ATTE 7 ASSAULT.
Men Who Attempted Assaulton Lady
May Be Hold. Ups.

Dan Slocum, the member of the
gang Of feather r%enovators arrested
for attempting to assault a Miss Pad.
gott near Columbia recently, waived
preliminary before q magistrate, and
Slocum was sent to jail in default Of
bail. He has employed no attorney so
far. No evidence was given, and it is
difficult to get at the details of the
alleged assault.
1t appears from what can be learn.
ed OF the affair that Slocum and three
OF his companions found Miss Padgett
alone at her fathers homo, and that
Slocum grabbed her, when she scream
ed. The strangers vanished and the
neighborhood was soon out searching
for them but 1T was a sheriff's officer
who caught them.
Slocum's pals are being held as sus.
poets. They all claim to be working
for the National Renovation Company
OF Chicago, and cannot be run In for
vagrancy. But 1t is thought that some
light might be thrown on the series of
hold ups the city has witnessed the
past few weeks by holding them.
Tuesday night A. Il. Funderburk, q
we'll known furniture dealer, saw a
well dressed white man standing under
some trees near Trinity church, ap.
parently waiting for him as he ap.
preached. lie called to the man, who
gave no answer. He asked a negro
nearby for a revolver and the man
under the trees taking flight Mr.. Fun.
derburk and the negro gave chase. In
q short time half q dozen police officers
had arrived, but the fug .tive had es.
capped through q vacant lot. But this
Is not an unusual incident. Some pro-
minent Columbians have been subjec-
ted to this sort of thing almost every
night Tor the past three weeks.
There are many wild stories going
over the town about these hold.u p
One is that a few nights ago q we'll
known Columbian being held up shot
the hold.up man severely, and that
the supposed thug has turned out to
be himself q prominent Columbian,
and that his wounds are being cared
for In secret, the matter being hushed
UP on account of his name. or course,
there Is nothing In the story but wind,
but in the nature Of it 1T will rot
down. Another, In which there Is ju t
about as much truth, carries the men,
DRY OF graft and hold.up. This story
Is to the effect that the hold-up genius
operating about Columbia has gotten
hold Of Digenese and taken his lantern
away from him the hold-up occurring
n the shadow of the state dispe nSary
walls.
