Surprise In Europe.

A very important phase of the insurance
investigation in New York is the effect the
disclosures are" having abroad. Intelligent
Americans returning from their travels
represent all Europe as interested, and fol-
lowing the story with painful surprise.
News of American politics finds no great
space In European journals. but this news
is printed at some length and eagerly read.
American insurance companies have been
doing big business across the water and
supporting their foreign agencies with great
liberality. But that this will be checked,
at least temporarily. seems certain. In
vestors in other American offerings even
may become uneasy, and thus a severe and
widespread penalty be exacted for the de-
linquencles now being revealed. 1t may
prove to be the most damaging thing In
our whole business history both in Its eff
fects at home and elsewhere.

Defense of the Yellow Dog.

1t has become customary to call the ques-
tionable or suspicious funds of the life In
surance companies under investigation In
New York the yellow dog funds This
seems to do injustice to the yellow dog.
In fact, the yellow dog has long been the
victim of injustice. Men who pride them
selves on their catholicity of sentiment,
their broad indedness, liberality of spirit
and freedom from the pettiness of racial
prejudice. will calmly heap infamy and in
suit on the yellow dog.
There are many yellow dogs that are by
no means yellow in their character, but will
as gladly accept challenge to combat and
take as much relish in chewing off another
dogs ear as any dog of more approved
color.
Really, yellow dog may be as respect
able as black dog, white dog, black
and-tan or a brindle. So far as observed
dogs do not draw the color line among
themselves. but fraternize. or mix 1t up
as the occasion requires, without regard to
the hue of their complexion. Among dogs,
a yellow dog, if he is prosperous, well fed
and carries on his breast the symbol of the
Order of Licensed Dogs, may hold his head
as high. bark as loud. make his ears stand
as straight and wag his tail as proudly as
any other dog.
There is no reason why dog should be
sneered at because he is yellow. While the
health department has adopted yellow as
the sign of plague, theosophists consider
yellow as the color of intelligence. Then.
yellow is considered such good color that
some ladies viii give that color to their
hair whether the facts warrant it or not.
And, again. IL you notice closely, yellow is a
popular color with the street cars of Wash
ington.

SHEDEN AND NORWAY.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
This certainly has been the busy year OF
the bird of peace. Norway and Sweden
have agreed.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
This separation of Sweden and Norway, in
the way 1t is occurring, means more to the
world than the advent of another indie
pendent flag. 1t has given an impetus to
the movement for worldwide peace which
will be felt for many years to come
From the New York Tribune.
Now that the separation of Norway and
Sweden has been practically accomplished
and sanctioned in an amicable and legal
way, 1t is interesting to observe the devei-
oprnent of a strong movement In favor OF
postponing for another year the selection of
a new king or the determination of the new
form of government There can be little
question that this is.equivalent to move
ment in favor of republic.
From the indianapolis Sentinel.
The Norwegians are to be commended.
They need no Hague tribunal nor the arbit-
rament of the sword to settle their little
family quarreis.

Thief in Wall Street.
From the New York World

From the New York World.
One of the most fearless exploits in the
history of crime has just been dared and
done. A thief has yentured into Wall street
and made good his escape with 1858, 900
worth of securities. For time out of mind
the police have had a dead-iine above the
jewelers. district in Maiden Lane, across
which no robber dared set foot. The un-
derworld has not yentured beyond that
dead-line into Wall street The most in
trepid burglar did not venture there for
fear of having the accoutrements of his
trade stolen from him.
But this daredevil thief had no sectional
jimmy to risk. He operated with q forged
check and a false certihcation, and these
bore such a close resemblance to the Inn
pigments of high finance that they and he
alike passed without suspicion. And now
he has gone with $359, 000 worth of booty,
leaving behind him nothing but the doubt
whether perhaps his methods are not an
Improvement on some of those still in
vogue in less progressive Wall street.

A Library's Uses.

We've had a new donation
A library complete.
We view 1t with elation,
So massive and so neat.
Those fortunes whose dimensions
Become each day more vast,
Now cause no apprehension
My minds at ease at last.
If beef men cause me sorrow
BY prices raised anew,
A cook book I will borrow
And read meal or two.
If coal men lift the ante
Until my limits past,
I'll turn me unto Dante,
And SO defy the blast.
