with a loss of confidence in everybody
who had property enough to finance
great undertaking or energy enough TO
organize a great enterprise.
So this morning we read in our news
papers of conditions in the east which
will make many a check blanch with
apprehension and will bow many a
head in sorrow and distress. 1t is a
terrible price.
1t is a terrible price to pay in order
that the president might vent his per-
sonal scorn on four or five men in New
York who have criticised his admin
istration; in order that he might ap-
pear before the world as the one hon
est man in the United States fighting
for decency, with his back to the wall,
against the rest of this nation; in or
der that he might call TO his aid, in adj
dition to the orderly processes of law,
the wrath of a great people aroused;
in order that Mr.. Hartman and Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Rogers and Mr..
Hill and others, for whom the country
at large cares nothing, might feel the
weight of his arm and acknowledge
publicly the self-evident fact that a
president of the United States is above
us all in power.
For, in order that these things might
be demonstrated, and in order that
these few men might be punished, d
million, two million. perhaps three mill
lion, families will be sorrowing within
the next thirty days, as they look on
their shrinking fortunes and feel that
cruel loss of confidence with which half
of the country is stricken today and
perhaps the whole country will be
stricken with before New Years.
Is it worth the price? Is the fact
II Ill II
riman or James ]. Hill is worth a few
millions less than he would have been
worth if Mr.. Roosevelt had not started
his campaign against men of property
in this country, and that they are all
jeered at by the multitude-iS that
worth the general distress that has
been spread hither and thither by the
disasters of the last few days?
And, finally, is this nation fallen into
that condition of chaos, has the ma
chinery of our courts become so weak
and worthless, have the laws of the
United States become so inadequate
and impotent that justice cannot be
administered in this republic, that the
guilty cannot be punished, that the in
nocent cannot be protected, without
the fiinging of thunderbolts and the
SCATTERING of skies from the White
House, without the prostration of in
dustry, the deSolation of finance, and
the devastation of the fortunes of mill
lions of citizens who have sinned nei-
Their under nor against the law?
We believe not. We believe not. We
believe that the president of the United
States has erred, and erred grievously
even disastrously. We believe that,
needlessly, recklessly, he has insisted
upon robbing this great nation of con-
fidence in its own industry, commerce.
finance and trade, and we do not be-
lieve now, and never shall, that the
plea so frequently made for him-that
he is honest-is an adequate plea

his predecessors in the White House

THE HANDSOME AFGHANS.
Unusual PaIIor of the Women-Pas-
sion for intrlgues and Feuds.
0ondon Chronicle)

The AfghanS may be said to consist
of about a dozen great clans, with nu-
merous subdivisions. The strongest
and bravest of these clans are the
Ghilzais, the Duranis, the Yusufzais.
Their members do not recognize as
Afghans all of those to whom we ap-
ply the term. although they are of the
same religion, speak the same Ian
guage, possess the same traits in char
acter, and observe the same customs.
There is a distinction with a difference,
and the outsiders are described as
Pathans-not as Afghans.
As a race the Afghans are handsome
and athletic. Often of fair complex
ion, they have, for the most part, aqui-
line features. They grow boards, but
shave the top of the head, leaving the
hair at the sides to fall in large curls
over the shoulders. Proud in bearing,
peremptory in manner and quick to
resent injury, the average Afghan is
nothing if not cruel. tre9cherous per-
jured and vindictive. His good points
are that he is fearless, an industrious
cultivator, hospitable to a fault and
passionately fond of field sport. In a
contrary direction, he has passion for
the vendetta, and his blood feuds are
pursued with no uncertain energy.
Afghan women, who possess a Jew
ish cast of features, are handsome,
with compilations of unusual pallor,
but sometimes rosy. They are kept
rigidly secluded, yet intrigues are said
to be frequent; and a bullet or a dag
ger thrust more often than not does
duty for the divorce court. Their cos
tune is of a most picturesque descrip-
ton. Even to a plain and awkward
woman it imparts some appearance of
grace. A "piran," or chemise, extends
from the throat TO Just above the an
kles, with sleeves that reach to the
wrist. 1t is of cloth of gold, velvet,
silk, cashmere or calico, and in shape
not unlike our own princess robe. Be-
meath this are 'tom-bons," or pajamas.
These may be of cloth of gold, silk
cashmere or calico. finished off at the
ankles by a fringe of diamonds, gold or
silver. A round cap. worked all over
with gold thread, so that it looks like
gold cloth, is fitted closely to the back
of the head.
The hair, parted in the center, is
done up in tiny braids, which are
caught in a black silk embroidered bag,
worn underneath the gold cap, but
hanging down the back to below the
waist. Married women wear a fringe
of hair, often curled on either side of
the face Descending from the top
of the head to the hem of the ''piran,"
leaving the face uncovered, is the
gracefully draped "chadar"-a large
wrapping of the finest muslin, filmy
gauze or delicately tinted chiffon.
Black hair is in vogue among the
bellies of the palace, and if their locks
reveal any shade of fairness, or show
indications of turning gray, the vain
creatures. adopting the custom of their
western sisters, at once dye them. Like
all their sex. too, they delight in jew
elry and the use of conspicuous orna-

EDITOR HARDEN's VICTORY.

Dispatches from Berlin indicate that
another case of criminal libel is to be
trumped up against Macmillan Har-
den, the fearless editor who scathingly
exposed the performance of a little
court circle known as the knights of
the Round Table" Harden was re-
Gently tried on a similar charge and
acquitted. He was acquitted because
he made out an absolutely convincing
defense. He showed that everything
he had said was true. and it was hoped
that the result would be a court circle
house cleaning.
The sO-called knights" were shown
10 De leprous degenerates who should
be kicked beyond the pale of decent
society. Emperor William was re-
ported as being highly indignant over
the result of the trial And, be it said
TO his credit, his indignation was not
caused by the acquttal of Harden,
but by the frightful scandals the trial
brought to light 1t must be said, too,
that the sympathy of the German peo-
pie was with the editor. They agreed
that his exposures had had a bene-
fetal effect upon the nation.
To go through the form of another
trial with Harden viii doubtless be to
expose more scandals, and it is sur
prising that the procedure is permit
ted. In the light of the former hear
ing it is hardly possible to imagine
any result other than the triumphant
acquittal OF the editor. The Herald
hopes he will De acquitted again. and it
is glad he was acquitted in the first
instance. Events showed that he was
sure OF his facts, but even so it takes
moral courage of the highest order to
present facts that are certain to be
most distasteful TO the highest authori-
ties.
The report goes that in the begin
ming the most determined efforts were
made to shut Harden off. The en-
peror. who was under the sway of the
knights" at least to some extent. was
appealed to. Ii was said to be his
original intention TO crush Harden, but
he was dissuadcd from his course by
the crown prince. For the crown prince
believed that the stories Harden print
ed were true. and he believed. further
that their publication would have a
beneficial effect.
The judgment of the crown prince
was sound, and the German nation is
entitled to congratulations. The world
has teen shown that the German press
heGitate to attack evil wherever he
finds 1t. and that the courts of Ger
many are so free from bias that they
will sustain righteous attacks, regard
less OF the individuals upon whom
they are made.

THE FREE SEED GRAFT.

A convention of farmers recently
passed a resolution in which congress
was requested to abolish the practice
of giving away seeds free. AS the
farmers, generally speaking, are most
benefited by this pernieious little graft,
II is good to see them come out frank
ly against it. Nor is it such a little
graft, either. for ii costs the govern
ment hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually.
Why should the government give
seeds away free? The usual answer is
that the agricultural interests, the
foundation of all our prosperity, are
benefited thereby; that they are en-
couraged to till the soil to better ad-
vantage, to raise better grain and fruit
and vegetables. When this has been

| AWYER AND CLIENT.

During an address to a law class in
New York college some days ago
district attorney was asked whether
or not lawyer could conscientiously
defend a client he knew to be guilty.
The reply was that he could and that
men of the law are in duty bound to
defend any one who is brought into
court" This regardless, of course, of
the guilt or innocence of the defend
ant. 1t will be difficult for laymen to
agree with this general proposition. 1t
is not the duty of any lawyer to pros
titute his brains to the loosening of a
known criminal from the net of JUS
tice
1t is true that lawyer is an officer
of The court, and in cases in which he
is appointed by the court to defend a
prisoner he has no alternative but to
appear for the defense. And then. if
the defendant is guilty beyond a rea-
sonable doubt. it is the appointed law
yer's duty only to see that the client
that has been forced upon him is ac-
corded all of his legal rights. When
he does this he does his full duty. 1t
is not necessary for him to take ad-
vantage of every quibbling technicali-
ty with intent to delay, as long as pos
sible, the punishment known to be
merited.
This view of the matter will not, we
are afraid. appeal to many lawyers.
Most CT the members of the profession
will justify the defense of the basest
criminal for money. They will tell you
to, TO defend any body. And yet some
of these men would not see their duty
so clearly if it were not for the fee.
Comparatively few lawyers find it hard
to resist the appeal of the moneyless
criminal. They have no conscientious
scruples about defending him, but they
cannot afford to spend their time work.
ing without hope of reward.
Nor should they be expected to do
so, as far as that is concerned. The
point We make is that If it is the duty
OF the lawyer to defend the wealthy
criminal. it is also his duty to defend
the criminal who has no means. II
the line can be drawn in one case it
should be drawn in the other. The dis
trict attorney whose remarks have
brought out this little argument made
another interesting statement. 1t was
this:
Even if a so-called undoubtedly
guilty man proclaims himself guilty,
it may be that he is shielding some
one" Isn't that a rather far-fetched
assertion? Let the practitioners of the
law review their experience for cases
of this character. They will be found
to be so few as to constitute neglible
quantity. The man who pleads guilty
every time is guilty, the exception only
going to prove the rule. And the guilty
should be punished. That Is the pur-
pose of the law against crime.

BUG IN HIS EAR.

An Uncomfortable Experience For

Carlton G. Starlin had a peculiar
ailment last week which caused him
considerable inconvenience. A small
beetle CHANGED to get in his ear and it

exceedingly uncomfortable and It con-
tinued to stick in its coy corner for
hours, continuing its uncomfortable
clawing until Mr.. Starlin became fran
tic and went to doctor for relief.
The beetle was finally removed after
1t had been in Starlin's ear for over
twelve hours.
