Probable Wheat Acreage.

The Rights Of Janitors.

Recorder Golf of New York has re-
Gently rendered decision which, while
Of only local application, has asrworld-
wide human interest. A case arose in
his court in which a tenant and the
janitor of New York flat were in
volved. The tenant claimed and exer-
cised the right to stand on the front
steps Of the building and speak above
a whisper. To this the ianitor objected,
at first verbally and later with heavy
maui with which he laid the tenant
out cold. The tenant brought suit for
damages and the ianitor was worsted.
The tenant recovered damages. The
recorder, in deciding the case, used this
remarkable languages:
+ Janitors must learn that they can
not, by calling themselves superintend-
ents, set up and assert kingly powers.
They are merely servants, and the ten
ants have rights which they are bound
| to respect. ga"
| Fortunately the recorders is sub
| ordinate court, and his opinions are
subject to review upon appeal. The
janitors, we may be sure, will not sur
render their prerogatives without a
fight, and they may be. able to. con,
vince or coerce the higher courts to
reverse this ruling and restore to then,
their vested rights. The courts have
recently shown tenderness on the sub
ject of vested rights, and when the
4 janitors go3in and. show that they have
always had the right to dominate the
buildings hired for human habitation
that tenants are a species Of ANNA
who must be controlled by. force; that
they are continually developing young
of the same species, whose destructive
tendencies are notorious, and whom the
elder tenants are powerless to control
it may look different to the courts
i The taxable value of the country r.
based to large extent upon the pres
i eryation of tenantable buildings, ant
without 5janitors it can easily be. shown
that in al few years there would ;be
nothing left for#the people to live il
I but caves and hollow trees. When The
janitors 4 association, on appeal, shows
these. facts to the courts, it may b
that their monarchieal rule will be re-
stored to them. b. :: ss .s e;

Frances Dilemma.

The fighting between Japan and Rus
STA seems to have resolved itself for the
present into contest over international
law. Japan claims that the neutrality
Of France is being violated by the lin
gering of the Russian fleet in Kamranh
bay, a French port. This, France in
an ambiguous way denies,t but that she
is troubled over the aspect Of affairs is
evident by the numerous cabinet coun-
ellis and by the startling announcement
that NJ. Delcasse, the French minister
of foreign affairs, has resigned ~
Delcasse is the man who is said to
have carried the peace of Europe on his
shoulders for several years.. His in.
huence has been great because he ap.
peared to be the only man who could
hold office in France thru successive adj
ministrations. He went with Loubet
to St. Petersburg when the Russian al,
lance was cemented, and he maneuv.
cred the extraordinary reception Of King
Edwardin Paris, which led to the trea-
ties of arbitration between. those two
countries. His policy has been to
strengthen France with all her neigh.
bors, ever keeping in mind that one day
France might have to fight the battle
with Germany over again. Following
| M. Hanotaux in the foreign office, and
pursuing the same tactics, he has been
extremely successful. .1a, ~" @

EDlTlON.-A year and a half ago Ny
Mamie Rose, the Story of My Regenera-
ton, was first told to the public by Owen
Kildare. It was the story Of more than
a regeneration; it was the story of a life,
measured by an unexpected progress from
illiteracy at the age Of so to a livelihood
by the pen at the age Of go. 1t was at the
same time a story Of deep appeal to the
sympathies. Kildare was lifted from slunn
life to life Of usefulness and fine as
pirations thru the instrumentality of a
young woman who taught school in the
Bowery district of New York. It was the
tale Of this instrument and the material
it worked on and the results Of which
the material" has been moved to tell,
that took hold of the reading public. car
