WHEN the American rolling mills can
produce steel rails cheaper than they
can be made abroad, and yet this coun-
try imposes duty on the foreign article
by means of which the rolling mills may
collect $2S ton from American and
Sl3. so a ton from foreign customers, it
seems as if even the intellect OF the stand
patters may recognize that the tariff is a
burden borne at home; but no such rev.
olutionary idea is permitted to creep in
10 their minds.

SPEAKING to a group of business men
in the Office of Governor Hoch, IN Kan
sas City, yesterday, Secretary Shaw SAID
that The United States could build an
isthmian canal yearly without an appre-
cjabIe increase of taxation. This Is but
a specimen of the extravagant talk OF
those who now have the dignity OF the
ship of state in hand. The assertion
that the government is in a position to
spend 100000, 900 annually in con-
structing canals with the enormous drain
incident to holding of dominion on FAR
awav islands is wild, to say the least.

SCENES which are at present terrifying
Warsaw are attracting the attention OF
the world Jews and Christians are
vieing in brutality under the guise OF
reformers, by instituting a reign of terror
in precipitating movement towards
elimination of disorderly houses and the
severing objectionable relations between
certain men and women. While the
latter class may be living in violation of
the laws of God and man, it may be said
that the reformers, in resOrting to VIC
lence and endangering the lives and
limbs of people in no way responsible
for the conditions which it is inferred
to correct, are as much law breakers as
those they are attempting to reform.

pose of not giving the soldiers an oppor-

Russians csnnut harm Russia. Her
welfare is endangered by those who wear
uniforms similar to that of Baron Korff."

Writ Refused.

The Court OF Appeals has refused a
writ of error In the case Of Wright vs.,
Groome, from the Circuit Court of Eau
quier county. The case was a most in
teresting one, involving the validity of a
viii! which had not been signed. Mrs.
Groome, widow, died, leaving an es-
tate valued at $40, 900. She made will
f ur years ago, and it was properly at
tested by her, leaving the property she
then owned to her son.
Some time ago, the early part of last
year, she decided to make second will,
making notes of how she intended to dis
pose of her estate. These notes she for
warded to a lawyer 10 Philadelphia with
instructions 10 prepare will for her
along the lines Indicated in the notes
which she sent. The lawyer did draw
the will, but for some reason the work
was not done as quickly as might have
been, and when the will was forwarded
it reached its destination after her death,
day or two before. 1t was contended
that the notes which she had forwarded
were valid as a will, and suit was
brought accordingly to establish the notes
as the last will and testament, The trial
court held otherwise, and the appellate
court on Thursday affirmed the decision.

THE CONDITIONS incident to the team
sters' strike in Chicago remain practi
cally unchanged, and disorders were
frequent yesterday afternoon. In some
instances patrol wagons containing po-
licemen were stoned, while other vehi.
cles were attacked. Fortunately no one
was killed, although several serious af-
trays occurred, and the police were taxed
to their utmost to keep down the rioters.
1t is feared that more dire results will
mark the conflict between the teamsters
aud the employers before the end is
reached, as attempts are being made by
Ihe former and Others who are uphold
ing them to cause sympathetic strikes
among workmen in Chicago.

Presbyterians Refuse TO Unite.

The General Assembly of the South
ern Presbyterian Church at Fort Worth,
Texas, yesterday voted against fedora
ton, but continued its committee tor
conferences with other branches of the
church. The vote sto'd "a to 81.
The committee was instructed TO
make its report one year hence at the
meeting of the General Assembly in
Greenville, n. G.
The committee is to be increased by
one member from each synod not now
represented. 1t is believed that if a
conservative plan for closer co-opera-
ton is submitted the assembly will adopt
it. The sentiment developed during the
