Because a magazine publisher has
shadOwed-and thus persecuted-Judge
Grosscup for years, some whisper that
the jurist's resignation is due to fear.
He properly refused to leave the bench
under fire and has tied a string to his
resignation. This is muck ralking. pure
and simple. 1t is to be doubted
whether a private citizen or corpora
ton has the right to employ detectives
in this fashion. If such practice is le-
gal the possible consequences are APP
palling.

Victoria by the Huehenden Church.

throughout his reign King Edward

wishes of his mother that she did nos

case where her own personal belongings
were concerned. Among these in the
earlier part of his reign the king discov-

spatched, with few words of ms own
added to those of his mother.

"Soon after the last election I publicly

elimination of unconstitutional obsta-
cies to the important duty resting on

the impossibility of his election and
therefore do not believe that his candi-

THE POWER OF j. p. MORGAN.
Natural Passion for Sound. Well
Founded Business.

At 20 a good proportion Of the men of
history have found their work. Won fam
and been laid away. At 80, J. i. Morgan
was unknown except in his own circle
the newspapers rarely mentioned his
name. and then only in a bare sentence
as if it were the name of railroad Oh a
bank J. u. Morgan served his clients
the investors, and so added to his fortune
year by year. Also h took share in
the bankers syndicates that sold bonds
for the government or the railroads. Il Is
unnecessary to say that ther" was a lot
Of money in this.
But. in the meanwhile. i great many
things were going utterly wrong; things
which yitally affected Morgan himself
and all his people-the investing public
here and in England. The great railroad
systems were running down hill, finan-
cially; they were ceasing to pay divi-
dends, and in a large number of cases
they were rapidly sliding into the posi-
ton where the hondholders would cease
to receive interest on their holdings and
would he lucky if they did not lose part
OF their principal as we'll.
Nor was there any sound reason for
such a condition OF things. To Morgan
tho cans, was rs plain as day: il w;s fool

denly felt II driven in bv successive

take charge. We here arrive at the exact
noint in his life where the Morgan that

Journey toward the special pinnacle he
