SOME CIVILIZATION,

Some sweeping charges were made at
 the meeting of the Congo Reform Asso- citation in London the other day. Sir Harry Johnston, president of the Afri-
 can Society, presided. He said that there was no intention of assailing Bel gium or of advocating the substitution
 of other than Belgian rule in the Con-
 go, but he was of opinion that the only practical and reasonable solution of the Congo problem was to invite Belgium immediately to take over the work of the Free State as national Belgian enterprise, for which the whole country through it's legislature would hold itself
 responsible. If the present state of af- fairs in the Congo went on it would react most unfavorably on the black mans opinion of the white man, and might have most disastrous conse-
 quences. The principal speaker MT. E.
 o. Morel, said that up to 1891 the Congo state, 1n theory, at any rate, lived up to it's pledges, but as the ambitions of
 the sovereign grew so did his monetary requirements; and the policy hitherto pursued was suddenly and violently changed in the Congo basin. King Leopold issued secret decrees, and by a stroke of the pen the native was robbed of everything he possessed. The de-
 mands upon the natives led to mon- strosities. Arab slave raids were child s
 play compared with them. Every vil-
 lage was penal settlement. Unarmed villagers were at the absolute mercy of armed soldiers, who were openly incit- ed by their masters to murder when the rubber was short. It was not only by murder, outrage and mutilation that

MARYLAND TOBACCO rRoraAE

The Baltimore Sun reports that the present low price Of Maryland tobacco is giving the planters of the southern counties & good deal of concern and may result in a large reduction of the acreage of the crop in the future and of this years yield. The principal cus- iomer Of the Maryland planter is the French government. A particular quality of Maryland tobacco is ex- tremely popular in France, and the French smokers will not use any other kind if they can get that. In France the sale of tobacco in every form is a government monopiy. Tine growth of tobacco is not permitted except by a special government license. The gov ernment buys tobacco in great quanti- ties at the lowest price and then sells it to the people at 8 profit, dealing with this commodity as South Carolina deals with spurious liquors. The tobacco is supplied to the French government by contractors. Bids are asked for and the dealer offering to furnish the amount required at the lowest rate receives the contract to supply so many hogsheads, and then the contractor proceeds to buy at the lowest possible price, his profits consisting. of course, in the diff ference between the price he receives from France and the price he pays to the planter.
 Unfortunately for the Maryland planter, there seems to be no other customer for this particular quality of tobacco, and he must accept what is offered. Of course France desires to get her supply as cheap as possible, but if she makes the price too low the Maryland planter will not be obliged to continue to raise tobacco for her.

THERE WILL BE GOOD FRESH AIR

The poorest fresh air is better than the best air that is not fresh. There is going to be some good fresh air this summer, and City Missionary Mossman is going to try to give many who need it a chance to get some. The Fresh Air work of the City Missionary Associa- tion is very beneficial, and the people of New Haven evidently believe in it, judging from the way they contribute to carry it on. Appeal is again made to them, and they will doubtless re- spond generously. Perhaps no tainted money will be given, but if anybody has any tainted money to give away how can he give it better than to Fresh Air fund? That will take the taint out as quick as anything. And those whose money is good can hardly make better disposition of some of it. Therefore give freely and bring rest to tired hearts, minds and bodies, and more strength and health to feeble ones, who would get no such help were it not for this real and helpful charity.

NOT so SPHERE.

The old men are not going to be chloroformed. That seems to be pretty well settled. In fact, the outlook for them is improving. The Chicago and Alton Railroad company, one of the first to adopt the age limit of thirty five years in the employment of men, has abandoned it after three years trial, and will employ at least 50 per cent. of it's men without regard to age, and will consider only their experience and adaptability to the work required of them. The Boston and Maine an- nounces that it will hire men of any age in any capacity. The Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul and also the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy have practically abandoned the arbitrary rule.
 So the atrocious crime of being an old, or elderly man, is not going to he punished as at one time it seemed likely to be. It is wise to discriminate. Some men who have many years also hays, much capacity for usefulness, and it should not be thrown away.

The Winter Palaces History.

The Winter Palace & the Car is q
fitting center from which to carry on
the fell work of repression allotted to
Trepoff. Almost every stone OF the
walls and every square yard OF the
plaster lining cost life. Nicholas
had given the order that the palace
must be rebuilt in year, and what
was human life against the despot's
will? Six thousand men were kept
at work day and night, with the pal
ace heated at 80 Reamur to dry the
walls rapidly, while the temperature
outside was often 80 degrees below
zero Reamur The men could only
work with ice packs on their heads,
and experiencing a daily change OF
60 degrees, they died by the score
every day. BY the end of the year
the death roll was some thousands,
but the palace was finished. To un-
derstand the full meaning Of this
achievement, it should be remember
ed that the Winter Palace is as large
as Buckingham Palace, Kensington
Palace and the National Gallery

Mob Threatens Saloon.

Springfield, O., Special.-A mob very
similar to one year ago, which lynch
ed the negro Dixon and burned several
dives, is congregating with ayowed pur-
pose Of burning resort run by Joseph
Kempler. Nearly a dozen arersts OF sus-
piciously acting persons have been
made by detectives. The square In
which Kempler's place is located is be-
ing patrolled by police.
AT II o'clock Monday night the front
and rear Of the saloon are closely
guarded by police, as are the entrances
to Columbia street at Forest and Water
streets. Every street corner In the VI
cinity is filed by molly crowd, await
ing the appearance Of mob to burn
the saloon. In all. nearly a dozen ar
rests have been made for "safe keep
ing and at II o'clock, the police are
confident they have complete control
OF the situation.
The report that two large crowds
from the West End are now congregat-
ing in uptown saloons with the avow-
ed purpose Of setting fire to the saloon
serves to keep the crowds as near the
place as the police will permit. The
movement at this time is admitted to
be almost identical with that Of year
ago, although the police are betetr pre-
pared to prevent a disturbance than
they were then.
