Observation-Disclosures and Fish are
still waging wal en- each other in the
Illinois central directorate. Charge
and cuontercharge are being prefTr-
ed by the one side against the SN~r.
The public will recall that cerA
officials of a certain corporation wiN@
were handling the most sacred trust
funds, fell out with each other a few
years ago, and this wal on each other
led to an official examination of their
corporation which exhibited a shame
less ~peryersion of funds. This exami-
nation led to a similar investigation
of other like concerns which showed
that they, too, were honey-combed
with ~rotteness. Will history repeat
itself in this Illinois central affair?
The public is learning something that
it would not otherwise know by this
war and has nothing to lose by the
scrap.

duzen years is now in Egypt and he
writes that business and prosperity In
general there is on a boom. He says
that it is an inviting field for the
American drummer and SPECTATOR
and manifests surprise that the Unit
ed States is giving the trade p%ossibili-
ties of that country SO little attention.
The foreign trade of Egypt is more
than one third that of China and this
government has been trying to foster
amicable and reciprocal trade re-
lations with that country for years.
Mr.. Carpenter states that THIS
county sells her but l per cent OF
what she buys and buys about 10 per
cent of what she sells. American
tourists, he claims, leave about $4,000
600 there every winter and that 6O
per cent of the people of Egyptian

AYERS that the lands are supporting
more people tc the mile than any
other country of the world, which he

Egypt buys almost everything knowL
to man. Every fertile spot in the
world is compared with the valley

that it's people are taking on much

that it behooveS Uncle Sam and

busy over there. Egyptians will not
be slow to recognize the superior
merit of a large per cent Of Ameri-
can goods yer those of other
countries. They are heavy pur-
chaSers of Gotten goods and it is OF eS-
pecial interest to the South that that
country be cultivated in order that

1t is remarkable indeed with what
ease signatures are obtained to almost
any sort of a petition. People too
frequently attach thier names with
out inquiring into or weighing what
is sought to be accomplished. Often
a petition is signed becaused parties
dislike to refuse the carrier such a
small accommodation. This should
not be and men should deliberate be-
fore lending the use of names for any
public purpose. AS conditions are
now, petitions are a very inaccurate
barometer Of the public'S wishes or

The international Cotton Con
ference.

The international cotton growers.
and cotton spinnerS, conference met
in Atlanta, Georgia last Monday.
There were more than 500 delegates
present. one hundred of which rep
resented the cotton SpinnerS of
England. Germany, France, Spain
Itlay and Portugal. Every praise,
of cotton growing and marketing has
been discussed by the conference.
Gov. Hoke Smith delivered the well
come address and advised, the ginning
and baliug of cotton on the planta-
tionS and the abliShmenU of the mid
dleman in handling it. Congressman
Helm Of Alabama introduced a reSo-
luton before the conference seeking
to prohibit the dealing in cotton
futures and insisting that the Specu-
lator was responsible for the frequent
fluctuations in the cotton market.
The European spinnerS claim that
they lose $40, 600, 900 annually in
transporting cotton because of i'm
proper baling and COMPRISING. The
foreign delegation insisted that an
improvement in baling and compress
ing would greatly Inure to the benefit
o. the Southern farmer and they adj
wise the Egyptian method of baling.
Much good will no doubt grow out OF
the conference. Certainly a better
understanding will exist between the
/ producer of cotton and the manufac-
turer of it. Both ends Of the line are
beginning to hammer at the specula,
| tor, the future dealer, which would
indicate that his days are numbered
| He is the b~loodSucker Of the farmers
toll and a useless appendage in the

Mercy, Not Justice.

If Goo were simply just, and lent
No mercy to the jud gements given
For human wrong, how quick were sent
On every life the bolts OF heaven.
If God we're only just. and gave
No love to sOfted errors need.
Tnere were no rainbow DER the grave.
Notruth in Christ or Christian creed.
If staple justice ruled supreme,
The earth would perish in a day
TIE nations vanish like a dream
And melt in fire and cloud away.
Bnt Goo is love and mercy guides
, The edicts of the King of Heavens
In man alone stern justice bides,
And souls are crushed and hearts ar
riveD.
All, friends, whe wrong and error show
Their sorrows to your s~cOrning eyes,
Remember, Jesus tears would flow
He loves the sinner you despise.
! And He. in Judgment, 2s of old
He spoke along the J udean shore,
Would speak those syllables of gold.
Go. pardon one, and sin no more
So we, when our poor brothers fall,
Should raise the f~ainting one again,
And help to his redeeming all
Sins bitter aftermath of pain.
This is the. Christians nOblest part,
| To look where God smiles there above.
And take from out His precious heart
Some beams of mercy breathing love.

MY JEWELS.

will find my lost jewel once more.
The feet that went down in the river OF death,
AS | stood on LIES desolate sand,
Are walking in gladness the streets of bright gold,
That run through the beautiful land.
The lips that so tenderly whispered my name,
Ere they closed in the silence OF death,
Will speak to me yet in the realm otlove,
Where life is nc longer a breath,
The dear hands that lovingly chung to my own,
A, they grew in death pulselcss and cold,
Are learning fresh lessons in the city Of God,
Or sweeping harp strings of gold
The eyes that turned on me with love to the last,
Now beam in eternity's light;
They see in His beauty the King on His throne,
And gaze on His face with delight.
The dear Lord who gave them and took them away
Will not leave me forever alone.
He will give them bark to mybOsOm again,

AN ALLEGED WASTE OF MONEY.

The officials and representatives of
 the United Railroads under indictment or on trial for the bribery of the San | Francisco board of supervisors for the passage of an ordinance granting the roads an overhead trolley franchise must feel disgrunSled to learn, if they are guilty, that the bribery was unnec- essary; that the franchise would have been granted without the outlay of s2e0OO0 to say nothing of the expense and mental anguish incident to their prosecution.
 Ruef after he had pleaded guilty made the statement that if the roads had openly asked for the franchise there would have been no objection to offered, the supervisors and the ad- ministration could not resist the temp tation to take it. But what Ruef said was not entirely convincing. It was regarded as an extenuating state ment.
 Supervisor Gallagher yesterday without any hope of gain repeated the statement that the roads unnecessarily wasted a large bribe fund beside laying the foundation for a great deal of trouble. He probably spoke the truth in which case it is proved that the street railway officials had rather more than an intimate knowledge of the set of grafters they had to deal with and proceeded to secure what they were after without a waste of time.
 It IS quite possible that it did not Schmitz and his main spring Ruef to demand anything for this service. The privilege of putting up overhead troll leys was one to which no one objected but which on the contrary everybody wanted the street railways to have.
 The man who offers bribe to a leg which he ought not to have: some right of the people which ought not to be surrendered without a consideration in which the public should share. In this case, though the franchise was valu able to the United Railroads the giving of it was an advantage to the people.
 The otfense of the street railway company if it committed an offense would consist only of as nearly harm less violation of the law as is possible when the law is violated at all and the corruption of the morals of the board of supervisors. It appears though from the manner in which the representa- tives of the United Railroads pro ceeded that they believed that it was impossible to corrupt a body which was already notoriously corrupt. From a practical moral point of view that reasoning was not extremely faulty.
