The Revolt in France.

Pafir, June ll.-"LoDg Live the
Reyolntion"-ihal war cry of the old
French revolution which involved all
Europe in its horrors-has been heard
once more in France, and 1t has
caused the authorities TO tremble. IL Is
the slogan of the militant portion, now
very small, but is liable to grow rapidly.
Already the "pescefur" revolution
has passed into the realm OF disorders.
At Montpelier and NarboDne, centers
of the disaffectiop, the disturbances we're
significant.
1t was this war cry and its appearance
on banners raised by few wine-growers
that caused the trouble in Montpelier
today. A mere youth raised the first
banner with its inscription, 'March on
70 Paris; Long Live Revolution He
was quickly arrested and the banner con-
6scated. The wine-growers rallied TO
the rescue of the youth. Order was only
restored by the release Of the boy.
AZ Narbonne soldiers, who were dis
satisfied where they have been confined
to their barracks, clashed with non-com-
missioned officers who rebuked them
while they were cheering wine-growerS.
The soldiers then served notice on the
officers that they would lot march
against friends and relatives if ordered
to do so.
Most disturbing Of sll is the procla-
nation issued by NJ. Albert, leader OF
the revolt, intimatiug he contemplates a
resort to arms. Ia waning his followers
to avoid violence he says: "The hour has
not yet come; we hope it will never
come"

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE II. 1907.

The Charleston, w, Va, Gazeste is
seriously disturbed over the late ruling
OF the U. 5. Supreme Court on the debt
question: and says.
As We predicted long ago, there
is no way for this State to escape trial
Of this case upon its merits, and the
action of the court causes us no surprise.
Int now that the State is confronted by
The alarming situation of having to fight
unon its merits suit, in which the
plaintiff claims $4,000, 600, with in
ierest from 1868, il may be possible that
the people will wake from their more
than double Kip Van Wrinkle slumber,
and quit trying to play politics with
simple business question. If Virginia
Gets all that she claims, she will recover
about s55, 900, 900. FOrty-four years
interest means nearly three times the
principal. When we recall that the
Wheeling ordinance and our first con-
slitution bound us to pay an equitable
Droportion of the debt of ViTginis, 1t
is hard TO believe that majority CT our
statesmen, for the last thirty years, have
educated the people TO believe that this
claim could not cause US any trouble.
There have been times when very small
amount comparatively would have been
accented in full settlement. 1t must be
admitted that Virginia has been patient,
while we have fairly revelCd in high
sounding resolutions declaring that we
owed no debt and had no bonds out
standing. Now We are brought up stand
ipg by the judgment of the highest court
in the land, aud the days of playing to
the galleries have passt /. Experience
is bitter school, but it seems to be the
only one which can teach every one.
We now see that we have been short
sighted and narrow upon this question.
Those who warned US Of our danger and
who were ostracizsd in politics thereby,
now loom up as philosophers and states
men.
The action of West Virginia in the
debt settlement matter has been most
iniquitous and she should be made to
pay the last dollar she justly owes and
for which she is bound under constitu-
tional agreement. As says the Richmond
Times Dispatch: at was one Of the con-
di,ions of her statehood, end such an
obrqation cannot be shaken off. The
Sa'e is also morally bound, for much Of
thu original debt was incurred for her
peculiar bsreit. West Virginia had
every possible warning. Fer obliga
tion was voluntarily assumed"

Boy Kills His Mother.

A special from Bassett, Neb., says that
at corouer's inquest there yesterday
Calf Mccoy, 10 years of age, confessed
that the fatal shooting of bis mother, MIS-.
Thomas Mccoy at her home, nine miles
north of Bassett, last Friday afternoon,
was not accidental as he at first said it
was, but that he planned and executed the
death of his mother because she had
whipped him. The boy made the con-
fession that he had murdered his mother
in cold blood without any show of grief
or of rem0rse. He was out in a field
with his mother and three brothers be
said, planting corn. Waiting until his
three brothers were across the field from
the mother, he slipped up behind her
and, holding his revolver with both hands
within four feet of her head took be-
liberate aim and fred. The bullet en-
tered her head at the base of the brain.
The woman died Instantly, but to make
sure of accomplishing his purpose the
boy fired q second shot into her body.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, IS they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is only
one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflaned condition of the mucous lining
ct the Eustschian Tube. When this tube Is
iutiamed you have rumbliDg sound or I'M
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed De fness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to It's normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh Cure.

IN THE opinion ofthe State Depart
ment the most serious consequence OF
the present anti-American agitation in
Japan is the inevitable delay caused by
it in the successful conduct of the nego-
tiations which are pending for the con-
cusion of new treaty of commerce and
immigration between the two countries.
There is also, Of course, the possibility
that continued reiteration of charges
and counter-charges may ultimately lead
TO an arrangement of the two peoples.
For This reasoG, Secretary Root
deprecates the daily sensational pub
LEGATIONS Of the yellow press of both
countries. He holds that it is, so far,
largely a newspaper campaign, aud
probably remembers that it was these
agencies that had much TO do with
bringing on the war with Spain.
He is not allowing himself to be
disturbed, however, by the situation.
lie recognizes in the campaign of the
japanese progressives in Japan, to over
throw the party in power, political
plan, similar to those which have been
sometime used in this country by the
opposition. The elections in Japan,
will take place next fall and "justice for
the japanese in America" seems to have
become one Of the campaign cries of the
minority. So long as the present ad-
minstratiou remains in power the most
friendly relations will continue to exist
between The United States and Japan.
The Nlikado's government has treated
the San Francisco incidents with dignity.
Apparently it was entirely satisfied with
the settlement of the school question,
and il has recognized that street fights,
such as might happen in any large city
of the world, AID more especially in one
which has not yet resumed normal con-
ditions following a great disaster, are
not matters Of sufficient importance to
ombroil two great and friendly nations.

Grows dim and distant in the morn

And Egypt's darkness fees before

A new phrase has been added TO
the vocabulary OF those who have
to deal with modern conditions OF life
in spheres social and commercial.
Professor Ross of the University OF
Wisconsin. must be credited with
its invention.
In a recent lecture he referred to-
certain phrases OF present day In
iquity as "Smokeless Sin"
The expression is a useful one
and aptly descriptive. AS on the
field of battle the day has gone when
the wreathing smoke told where the
ambushed enemy was lying the area
has paased when social and CONNER
cial villiany paraded in open den
ance of law, and proclaimed It's
wickedness that all might hear.
The robber baron with his follow
ing. making tempestuous raids upon
country side and weaker members
OF his class. thunders no more ex-
cept in the pages of romance. the
pirate of the high seas, with his pic
turesQue crew OF Cutthroats, is but
a thrilling memory revived in such
delightful spectacles as Peter Pan"
These have passed with other
phases Of olden days. Yet sin is sthI
with us.
We have by no means reached the
millennium because the rule that
might is right" cannot find respecta-
bic recognition in our system OF eth
icS.
Today we have TO deal with more
subtle form OF evil that Professor
Ross terms 'smOkeless sin" As the
presence Of the hidden sharpshooter
in the skirmish OF war can now be de-
tected only by the execution he ac-
complishes. so sin is seen. not SO
much in its own proper entity as I'm
the results that follow from its ex-
existence.

would pass muster in Quaker meet
ing, or sit unQuestioned at a gather
ing Of directors OF the Standard OIL
Company. 1t is all the more danger
