Ne Exeat and the Maqnates

Uncle Sam is engaged in restrict ing-not immigration-but emigration, for he has caused writs of ne exeat to be served on Hill, Hartman, Rogers, Stillman and the Rockefellers, and they cannot emigrate, even temper arily, until they tell all they know about railroad combinations. They are legally tethered-tied to bedpost so to speak until the interstate com merce commission is ready to set them free.
 William Nelson Cromwell got away before a writ of ne exeat could be fitted to him, and he now snaps his fingers at the Fifty-ninth congress, and the Sixtieth congress will not meet until next December. Cromwell is not a party to the Standard Oil railroad combines, but he is deeply implicated in plots and counterplots at Panama, and Senator Morgan has his eye on him.
 If railroad combines continue to null tiply it may be necessary to issue an omnibus ne exeat, and possibly the country would be richer II the writ

ondon Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 The Petit Parisien has just completed a very interesting plebiscite, the object of which was to ascertain who in the opn- ion of it's readers were the ten greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth century. More than 100000 votes were given, and the result was that Pasteur came out at the top of the poll with 1S3S, 425 votes. The next were Victor Hugo, who received 1,227, ,1OS votes, Gambetta 1,155672, Napol- con 1,11S,os4, Thiers 1,C3s,45S Lazare Car rot s5o.772. Curie S51,107, A. Dumas pere So5,6O2, Dr. Roux GOS9H and Parmentier 49S,S6S. Immediately following were Ann pere, the electrician; Brazza, the explor- CT; zola, Lamartine and Arago.
 It will be observed with interest how large is the proportion of scientific men in the number of those who, in the opin- ion of Frenchmen, occupy the highest places in the records of the country Ma poleon Is only fourth, though Pasteur heads the list. and Curie, Roux and Par mentler, the chemist. who introduced the culture of the potato into France. are also honored, while Ampere and Brazza are not far behind. Literary men and statesmen dispute with the scientists for the highest distinctions, and the national sentiment of France Is evidently cleo tric, n

rup.

Very different now is the feeling of the north toward the south and of the south toward the north as compared with the attitude of these two sections twenty-five years ago. Bitterness pre- vailed on both sides of Mason and Dixons line, but the animosities that grew very naturally out of the war gradually became less intense and fin ally passed away altogether. Not only has new generation grown up, but the veterans of both north and south have come to esteem each other and recog- nize the fact that the great com manders and the men of the rank and file were actuated by patriotism and other high motives no matter on which side they fought. It is felt today that northern valor and southern valor are alike the heritage of a united country.
 The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert B. Lee was a notable event, for not only did southrons gather to do honor to the memory of the Confederate chief tain, but President Roosevelt and rep resentative northern men in general paid tribute to the grace of character and the splendid achievements of the south's immortal hero. And in the states that formed the Confederacy those who fought under the stars and bars are always ready and eager to extend fraternal greetings to the men who followed the stars and stripes.
 Many brave warriors have displayed splendid qualities outside of mere gen eralship. But in an especial sense Lee was an ideal American soldier and an ideal Christian gentleman. Few men Of the military profession in any age have equalled him in leadership and fewer still have measured up to him in those private virtues and that sim pie dignity for which he was disting- uished.
 Hero worshippers are often disillu- stoned, but Lees life was as stainless and his soul as lofty as his mettle was true and his actions chivalrous; and the merciless biographer in the years to come will search records in vain II he expects to find any fact or circum- stance derogatory to the memory or him whom all the world honors.
 The boy who takes Robert E. Lee as his model is sure to feel his high pur- pose strengthened and his aspirations uuickened. AS the spiritual life of nation advances the art of war is less exalted. But after swords are beat into blow shares the name of Lee will remain to inspire youth with senti- ments that make for we'll rounded career and promote the cause of jus tice, righteousness and peace.

Postal Frauds Orders

Fraud orders to the number of 26,OoU have been issued by the postoffice de- nartment. In other words 26,000 firms, individuals and corporations, have been excluded from use of the mails by arbitrary orders issued by the pos tal officials at Washington. If this IS not Caesarism In full bloom, then what is it? There Is no appeal from fraud order, no matter how unjust or spite ful 1t may be.
 The house has just passed a Dill granting the right of appeal to az grieved persons. It in no manner re- stricts the power of the postal officials 10 issue ffaud orders, but it provides that on the issuance of such an order the mail of the person or concern shall be held by the department fifteen days thereafter during which time the az grieyed party may appeal to the courts. If he takes no action, then the mail is to be returned to the senders. If there is an appeal, then the mail will continue to be held by the department and dis- posed of finally according as goes the judgment of the court
 The postofice officials do not favor the pending bill. They naturally prefer autocratic power, but this is an alleged free country, and there should be in 1t some semblance of fairness and jus tice. It is not best to lodge in the hands of any official unreversible power to ruin individuals or concerns by the issuance of a slip of paper. Any such order should be subject to review In the courts of the land, and the sen ate should pass the house bill relating to the issuance of postal fraud orders.

More Bonds Demanded

On July 1 next $114,300, 900 of per cent bonds of the United States fall due, and at that time the government expects to hold in free cash $148,000,- 0., and if $31 ,O00,0 900 of Panama canal bonds are issued 1t will hold at that time s179,000,000, not including $10O,- OO0,00O on deposit at the banks, not a cent of which is drawing interest.
 Why then should not the govern ment redeem the per cents? It would put a good lot of war bonds out of sight forever. There is no need in fact of issuing any canal bonds, for the canal construction and the redemption of the four per cents can be met by the government without disturbing its working balance or even materially re- ducing the sum on deposit in the na- tional banks.
 The truth is, no more government bonds are needed for any purpose ex- cept as basis of circulation in the national banks. The national banks are crying out for mors bonds, and when bank note circulation Is all that justi- fies bond issues the time is at hand for a reconstruction of the entire national bank business.

 The writ was inherited from Eng land, where it has long been used. It has been employed in this country many years, our version of it being a modification of the old English law. It is plainly useful in the present ten dency on the part of magnates to fol- low William Nelson Cromwell to Yur- rup.

COTTON INDUSTRY ABROAD

From the Boston Globe
 HHE gigantic strides which the
 NY cotton trade has made in the
 United States is well known to Americans, but merchants generally are not so familiar with the great progress made in cotton manufacturing abroad and especially in England.
 It Is also remarkable that the culti- walton of the cotton plant, the manufac- ture of it's fiber and the distribution of its product afford employment to a much larger amount of capital and labor than any other branch of mechanical industry; and, moreover, an eminent authority on the subject declares that "so far as Eu- rope and America are concerned this vast agricultural and manufacturing system has been built up almost within the limits of the past century,"
 It is instructive to learn how cotton manufacturing is progressing on the other side of the Atlantic, and American consuls are beginning to furnish our gov ernment with reliable statistics on this point.
 As a cotton manufacturing district of
 
 other such districts in Europe. In fact, Lancashire occupies in the cotton spin ming and manufacturing trade of the world relatively the same position as IS held by the "eotton belt" of the United States in the production of the raw ma terial 1t Is a maritime county, on the western coast of England with a popula- tion of 4, 4o6,7 or 2461 inhabitants to the square mile Cotton manufacturing under the factory system saw it's birth in this country, beginning with the inventions of Watt, Hargraves. Kay, Arkwright, Comp ton and Cartwright, nor have the people of the locality yet surrendered their lead in the worlds dominant industry.
 The "Lancashlre district has an abun- dance of coal and is full of enormous machine shops within a radius of thirty miles of Manchester. At the beginning of the current year there were working in the Lancashire area 4S,S2 ,6S4 cotton spin dies and 6s4,S11 looms. Of this num- Der 2,45o,3sT spindles and S2TS1 looms were put into new mills during 1905, while during this year d9O6 there have been put fully to work, organized, under con- structon, or projected, ninety new spin ming mills, which will contain S,O26,356 spindles. 2,OS9, 900 of which will spin Egyp- tfan cotton and the remainder will con sume American-grown raw material. one
