The Effect of Caste.

"The mixture of the social classes in
the current issue of the Arena, has
been one of the greatest safeguards OF
the quality of culture, helping to keep
1t pure, practical, helpful and unset
fish. mo reflective observer" con-
tinues Mr.. Whitney, "can fail to see
that one of the greatest hardeners and
then corrupters of the human heart is
the spirit Of caste. A culture that is
founded upon caste, that strives to
protect or build up caste, is absolutely
sure to do mischief-in a positive or a
negative way. On the other hand, the
more frequently and intimately and
helpful the representatives of different
social classes can meet and learn to
respect each other-in the schoolroom,
or on the athletic field, or anywhere
else-the purer, other things being
equal, will be the life and the culture
OF all, and the more will those who
have had greater privileges think 1t

in any good work that is doing. They
realize better that the world is not
wholly of them nor for them.
In America to-day there are two
lines in which a healthful mingling
OF classes may especially be found.
Ono, as we have already suggested, is
the educational system In the older
days the select school was the place
for the child, if the family purse could
afford it, But our public schools
are, especially in the more democratic
parts of the country, used and enjoyed
by all classes, and hence have been
made good enough for the rich while
not beyond the reach of the poor.
Then, the friendships of school
days are carried through life, crossing
all artificial lines. Our colleges and
universities are substantially demo-
cratic; men are still valued there for
their worth, the door of opportunity
is still open to the deserving, however
born; and the future is still so hope
full that President Harper. in one of
his very last utterances, ventured to
declare even that the university is the
phophetic Interpreter of democracy
So long and so far as this continues
true, our culture will be safe from de-
cay"

DAMAGE is SLIGHT.
Reports Regarding Earthquake In New
Mexico Greatly Exaggerated.

Santa Fe, N. M.-Mayor Bursum, of
Socorro, Thursday issued the follow
ing signed statement:
"The reports regarding the earth
quake at Socorro have been exagger-
ated, the damage to date being limited
to the falling and topping over of
loose chimneys and shaking of some
of the walls of buildings not of a sub
stantial character.
"The actual damage all round is
very slight, although there is some
uneasiness on account of the fire.

ever, becoming lighter each time, in

been four slight shocks which were
barely perceptible and would have
passed unnoticed at other times. Peo-
pie who have left Socorro on account
of the earthquake have done so princi-
pally on account of their children or

cloudburst or flood, as reported in dis
patches, and not the slightest injury
to any person"
Mayor Bursom also denied reports
that the Santa Fe railroad tracks are

SIGNED TREATY.
Peace Has Been Concluded Between
Central American BeIIeerants.

Washington, d. C.-The state de
partment Friday night was advised of
the signing of the treaty of peace by
the representatives of the belligerent
republics aboard the Marblehead. A
cablegram was received from Mr..
Merry, the American minister to Sal
vador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, an
nouncing that treaty of peace had
been signed on board the American
warship.
In his message Mr.. Merry referred
to joint message sent by himself
and Mr.. Combs, the American minis
ter to Guatemala and Honduras,
which message had not reached the
state department Friday night. This
message, it is believed, gives details
as TO the conclusions reached and is
awaited anXiously by the officials
here.

AT EXPENSE OF FARMERS.
Removal of Duty on Hides Would Aid
the Manufacturer, But Not
the Agriculturist.

One of the assaults upon the Repub,
lican tariff law which restored pros
perity to this country has been led by
those who want free hides for the
benefit of the manufacturers. Strange
as 1t may seem there is an element
III Iowa, great agricultural state that
she is, that has joined in this de-
mand, Notwithstanding the fact that
hides are the farmers product and one
of the comparatively few things upon
which he gets the direct benefit of
protection. The plea has been that
the tariff made hides so high that
it was a hardship on the manufac-
turer and that the latter would take
it out of the consumer. Frank W.
Mahin, an Iowa man who is consul
at Nottingham, England, says that
English shoe manufacturers have
raised their prices because they have
been compelled to pay an advance of
40 or 90 per cent. on leather the past
year. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that Mr.. Mahin is telling the truth,
as he is reputable and reliable man,
and besides misrepresentation in
matter of this kind would cost him
his position. Neither is it necessary
to call attention to the fact that there
is no such thing as a duty on hides
in England. The situation in Eng
lad, taken in connection with the fact
that in this country the advance in
the price of hides is far greater than
the tariff duty, seems to show that the
increase is worldwide and is caused
by the fact that the supply was not
equal to the demand. The remedy
which the manufacturers proposed to
apply would be at the expense of the
farmers.-Creston Ua.) Advertiser.

THE COURTS
Should Not Allow Tech
niCaI Appeals in
CRIMINAL CASES.
While the Number of Murderers is In
Geasing Procedure Against Them
is Becoming Farce.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Andrew D. White,
ex-presdent of Cornell university,
in an address before the Cor
nell summer school Friday night, de-
claIed the time has come when techni-
cal appeals in criminal cases should
no longer be allowed by the courts.
Referring to the situation in New
York City and speaking of District
Attorney Jerome, DR.. White said:
''On him more than any other man
thinking people throughout the state
and nation are pinning their hopes
that sundry cases of high crime now
attracting notice may not become a
lasting disgrace to the New York
courts and American justice.
while the number of murderers is
rapidly increasing, procedure against
them is becoming more and more in
effective, and, in the light of sundry
recent cases in New York and else
where, is seen to be farce.
Cone of the worst results Of these
cases is the growing opinion among
the people 1t large that men with
money can so delay justice by every
sort of chicanery that there is virtual
immunity from punishment from the
highest crimes. l favor preventing
appeals based on mere technical mat
ters and upon errors of trial judges in
trifling. matters of procedure and the
like which have really nothing to do
with the question of guilt or inno-
cence"

PANIC AMONG PEOPLE.
Excursion Boats Collide in New York
Harbor-1,5 500 Lives in Peril, but
There Were No Fatalities.

New York.-Two crowded excur-
Thursday night in New York harbor
Off Staten Island, imperilling the lives
OF 1,5O0 persons. but neither In tho
crash Itself nor in the wild panic
which followed was anyone seriously
injured. The vessels were the Per-
seus, bound for Coney Island with 500
passengers on board, and the Thomas
Patten, from Long Beach to New
York, carrying 1000 passengers. The
shrill whistles of the colliding steam
ers soon brought assistance from
boats in the bay and the frightened
passengers were transferred as quick
ly as possible and brought to this city
The Perseus and the Patten interlock-
ed and neither sank.
The lower harbor was covered with
dense fog at the time of the collision
and the two vessels were running at
reduced speed.
When directly off st. George, S. l.,
the Patten crashed with terrific force
into the port side of the Perseus,
smashing the paddle wheel and box
and tearing away much of the Joiner
work. The Patterns bow and upper
foredecks were badly damaged. The
Impact was so great that the vessels
remained fast together. No effort was
made by the Patten to break away,
however, for 1t was felt that safety
from sinking lay in vessels remaining
interlocked.
When the Patten loomed suddenly
out of the fog bank and it was seen
that collision was unavoidable, the
passengers on the two vessels became
frantic with fear. Just before the
crash one man on the Persons jumped
overheard. He was quickly rescued,
A hasty examination indicated that
neither boat was in immediate danger
of going down and the eXcursionists
were assured of this fact. Meantime
the whistles were calling assistance,
and while the passengers were rush
Ing about the decks seeking relatives
and friends, the excursion boat Com
modore and a Staten Island municipal
ferry boat ranged alongside. The
transfer of passengers was quickly
made and all were brought to the city.
During the panic many women
tainted and some were bruised, but
not seriously.

TRADE REVIEW.
r. G. Dun 6 Co. Report Conditions Of
Business as Exceptionally Good.

New York.-R G. Dun & Co. IS
weekly review of trade says:
Exceptionally encouraging reports
for this time of the year are received
regarding trade, industry and trans
portation. The best news of the past
week comes from agricultural sec
tions, where progress is fully main
tained, harvesting of winter wheat
promising a larger yield than expect
ed, and of good quality, while corn
and oats exceed anticipations, and
hay alone of the leading crops threat
ems to be short. AS results on the
farms become assured there is
growth of confidence that brings out
large orders for fall and winter de-
livery of all, staples.
More textile mills have voluntarily
advanced wages 5 per cent to take
effect after this month, and the only
important labor trouble that threat
ems is a local building complication
that will be averted il conservative
counsel prevails.
Official returns show that foreign
commerce in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1906, far eclipse all records,
both as to exports and imports.
Restoration of foundry pig to $14
is probaly the best development of
the week in the iron and steel indus
try.
Failures this week numbered 1872 in
the United States, against 1913 last
year, and % in Canada, compared
with 23 a year ago.

Eg gS and Pence.

To have things cheaper is the eco
nomical ideal of free traders and tar
iff reformers. They do have things
cheaper when they have their way
with the tariff. This result is reached
by a lessening of demand without a
corresponding curtailment of the sup
ply. Poorly paid people are poor buy
ers. When eggs were selling at
tuppence dozen in the Scotch High
lands, Dr. Johnson observed that the
trouble Was not too many eggs, but
too few pence. 1t is better to have
eggs selling at five times tuppence
and also have pence enough to buy
and pay for them. That is what pro-
lection aims at and accomplishes.

Another Australian Experiment.

Suitable farming land is provided by
the Australian government for groups
of men and their families that will ul--
timately form village settlements, but
they are not to be cooperative-eachl
settler will stand or fall on his own
merits. Government overseers will
guide and instruct the settlers for two,
years, and the house erected for his,
use can be used as a public hall or
school. Plain rations, implements, a.
small stock of cows, poultry, ETC.;
roofing material, water tanks, etc, will
be supplied for the first year. This will.
be charged as loan and must be.
eventually refunded to the state.

FAULTS OF THE PRESIDENT
Veteran Republican Editor Points
Out Many Blots on the Political
Record OF Theodore Roosevelt.

The Evening Star, of Washington,
ID. c., edited by the venerable Crosby
S. Noyes, has for nearly half a cen
tury been the leading Republican
newspaper south of Philadelphia; aud
its editor has been on terms of in
innate friendship with every Repub-
llcan president since Lincoln's time.
He knows better, perhaps, than any
other living man, the opinions preva-
lent in the highest circles of official
society in Washington. His editorial
utterances are therefore of the first
Importance. In the Star of June %
Mr.. Noyes in his leading editorial,
speaking of Roosevelt, says; "He
does not hesitate to exeAt all his
strenuous energies in the execution of
anything he has willed, when he is
wholly in the wrong. His oldest, best
and most sincere friends have noted
with dismay his rapidly growing dis.
position to exercise autocratic power
ON all occasions, big or little, right or
wrong"
BY close observation Mr.. Noyes has
discovered that Mr.. Roosevelt has less
respect for decent people than for
many questionable characters, and
cites the Barnes appointment in sup
port of this contention. Barnes had
become odious to the people of Wash.
ington by reason of his brutal treat
ment of Mrs. Minor Morris; and the
Star says, in "contemptuous defiance
of outraged public opinion he (Roose-
velt) appointed the person directly
responsible for the brutal outrage to
one of the best paying offices In his
gift"
The Star also charges that dis
graceful compact was made between
the president and Penrose, the sue
cessor OF Matt Quay as boss of the
Pennsylvania Republican machine, by
the terms of which Roosevelt is to
help Penrose and Durham to reestab-
lish their sway in that state, in re-
turn for the aid rendered by Penrose
in securing the confirmation of Barnes
as postmaster at Washington.
These attacks upon President Roose-
velt by the leading Republican organ
at the national capital are unpreoe-
dented. The Star would make good
reading in Pennsylvania, Iowa and
Ohio this year. Nobody can charge 1t
with being a Bryan organ or a yell
low journal. 1t is after the straight
est order of its sect Pharisee.

Democratic Measure Defeated

Even that high Republican authori-
ty, the New York Tribune, is troubled
over the failure of congress to pass
the Tillman bill prohibiting corpora
tions from contributing money in con-
nection with elections. While Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Cannon could have
pushed this bill through the house in
less than an hour, they refused to do
so. The Tribune warned these gentle
men against resisting the passage of
the bill, but in vain. On June 27 it
said: This is a reform which pub
lie opinion demands, and there is no
good reason why 1t should not have
it's first trial in the approaching con-
gressional campaign. Delay in legis-
lating against corrupt practices will
only suggest evasion, and such
charge will prove embarrassing to
meet in the present temper of the
voters"
Let 1t not be forgotten that the
measure failed because it was OBJ
structed by President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon. And when the
president goes out on his preaching
tours at the expense of Democrats as
we'll as Republicans, ask him why he
stified the corrupt pactic1s BILL why
he keeps Cortelyou in his cabinet;
why he doesn't apologize to Judge Par
ker for the falsehood he told about
Parker in 1904; and why he doesn't
make Cortelyou and Bliss pay back
to the policy holders of the life in
surance companies the money filched
from them in the last campaign. Ted
dy is a fine preacher; but words are
good when backed up by deeds. and
