THE SUNDAY CIRCUS.

We are having an awful time about

more or less violence, Mortified at the

singular that such remark should

THE day before President Taft
made a speech in which he took the
ground that the waterway question
must be treated as a whole. In that
speech he denounced the whole pork

service. This objection is ratona
land consistent and may weigh heavily
with those in authority who generally
have given respectful hearing to the
protests of church people against the
location OF any disturbing elements
near their places of worship.
But whatever tic result may be,
whether the protests be successful in
stopping the circus or not, the com
motion in the community during the
last few days has been remarkable
enough to deserve comment. The
istrong exhibition of feeling over this
matter cannot but look strange, to
put it mildly. to a "dislnterested OBJ
server" in Cairo during the last week.
This "disinterested observer" saw, on
TAFT Day when many thousands of
people We're here, gambling houses
wide open, and one OF them with
'cappers" out "roping in suckers.
and there has been comparatively lit
tie said about it. He saw a matinee
and night performance at the Cairo
opera house, which was rotten" in
the ugliest sense of that ugly term
ia performance which on that day did
more harm to Cairo's moral reputa-
ton in the outside world than any
thing ever did or ever is likely to do
in the same length OF time. Yet no
word of protest has been heard. He
can see pictures at the places on
Eighth street almost every week
which are demoralizing in the ex-
IRENE to the many young people and
children who attend them, depicting
as they do debasing phases of life
such as caused the tragedy in this city
the other day put without its whole4
some warning. But no one ventures.
to utter d word in disapproyal,
:" In view Of all this very natural
conclusion by the "disinterested OBJ
server" must be that we are a lot Of
arrant hypocrits "straining at gnat"
when we are accustomed to swallow
ing elephants every day in the year.
Perhaps the one circumstance which
causes us to be so much aroused over
the proposed Sunday circus. aside
from the fact that it is to be located
near a church, is the novelty of the
thing. The wide open gambling houses
are not new in Cairo, disgraceful per-
formances at the opera house have
been here before; the Eighth street
shows ar seen nightly and are bad
only at intervals; and the seeming in
difference with which these evils, in
finitely more demoralizing than IA
Sunday circus are regarded, strongly
brings to mind Popes familiar lines:

However, this commotion about
the Sunday circus is sign of life any
way-a healthy demonstration which
is, to be commended if it shall mani,
fest itself in equally or more vigorous
protest at the proper time and in the
proper way against the greater evils
which afflict the community and for
the existence of which the peoples
servants are directly responsible.

JUROR
 CALLED II A H0LDUP
The Situation in Which Defendant Cal
 houn Was Placed.

San Francisco, March 19.-TheodOre Binner, an ornamental decorator, was passed today to occupy the seat of the ninth juror in the trial of Patrick Cal houn, president of the United Rail roads. The juror, who entertained a prejudice against circumstantial evil dence. informed the attorneys that his conscience would not permit him to return anything but just verdict and although he was examined at length. he appeared to have no knoWl- edge of the case that would affect either side. Binner is the third juror who remains subject to peremptOry challenge. During today's session of the trial ten other talesmen were in terrogated and disqualified because of opinions.
 TOday's session was curtailed be- cause the court was obliged to exam inc the twenty fourth special venire of citizens summoned as prospective ju- TOTS. The morning session was de- voted to the interrogation of Alexander Bradley. a manufacturer, who express ed the belief that the president of the United Railroads was held up by city officials. The prosecution was ordered to take u9 the examination and en- deeavored to disqualfy the talesman.

Last Aztec Rulers Tomb Found.

A dispatch from San Juan Bautista Tabasco. says that Captain Antonio Escobar Of the Mexican army, who is interested in archaeological studies. an nOunces that he had certain proof of the exact location of the resting place of the bones of the last Aztec em- peror.
 Captain Escobar owes the discovery to a man named Aldecoa in the town of Usumacinta. This man has very valuable documents which will prove of great value in clearing up certain facts in Mexican history.
 These documents tend to show that the body of the late emperor was buried in a churchyard of that town the church having since fallen into decay The documents which dis close these facts will be presented to Minister Sirra.-Inter- ocean.
