From the New York Sun.
Several men who were sitting in Pea

ner were discussing the Flagg case and
commenting upon the alleged method OF
calling the attention of prospective pat
rons OF Mr.. Flagg's business to the sig
nature of D. n. Morgan as Treasurer of
the United States on 81 and s. bills to
inspire confidence.

Manufactures in Washington.

If we are to have manufactures in
Washington, the proposition that a
corporation be formed for the purpose
of promoting and financing industrial
enterprise in the District and suburbs
is worthy of careful consideration.
Through this plan the problem of bring
ing factories to Washington and of
building up the industries of the city
takes on much more concrete form than
it has ever assumed before Through
the medium of the proposed company
every man in Washington will have an
opportunity to share in the work of
establishing plants which would give
employment to the young men who are
growing up and seeking some means of
livelihood without going to another city.
The suggestion should be thoroughly
considered from every point OF view.
The question as to how far Washington
should develop into an industrial city
is one that demands serious thought.

wOmen's Hats and Brains.

Prom the Chicago Journal.
At last we have it. The world has
known that in recent times women have
assumed a more prominent position than
ever before in business, art, literature,
and other important walks of life. And
the world has attributed this fact to the
ability and persistency OF women appre-
ciating their own ability and answering
call to higher duties and responsible
ties.
But according to a Boston doctor who
is sufficiently prominent to secure ready
publicity of his views, such reasoning is
all wrong. The world, in view of this
authority. has erred in its judgment in
the matter.
The advancement OF women in condi-
tions of life, we are informed, is the
result of a broadening and increase in
the size of the feminine brain because
women wear lighter hats than in days
gone by. Heavy hats-pressure on brains
sufficient to retard mental development
and so lessen possibilities of advance
ment and improvement Lighter hats
increase of brain sizes till women ad-
vance rapidly in thought and influence.

The Millionaire and His Friends.

The complaint OF Mr. Eugene Zim-
mermann, the Cincinnati magnate and
father-in-law to the Duke of Manches-
ter, that no one loves millionaire de-
serves more than a passing notice.
To say that nobody loves a millionaire
takes no account of the colleges that
decorate him an Ii. D.. or of the leg
islaturcs which offer him Senatorships.
So has the Kaiser shown himself a
great friend of millionaires, and the
stars or crosses which adorn their
breasts testify to the place they hold in
the affections of royalty And if, as
Mr. Zimmerman complains, they have
no influence in politics, who is more
the object OF solicitouS interest of party
treasurers at election time?
The Cincinnati magnate is wrong
The millionaires' friends are legion

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
AN INTERNATIONAL PIG.

AN INTERNATIONAL PIG.
o A little pig was once the cause
of difficulty between the United
States and Great Britain, which
for a time threatened war, and
was finally settled by the Emper-
or of Germany. In the Gulf of
Georgia, north of Puget Sound, is
a little island named San Juan.
In early days two men lived on
this island, an American and an
Englishman. Each was the own
er of some hogs. and one day the
Englishman shot one OF the
Americans pigs. A dispute fol-
lowed, and they decided to carry
the matter to court. But which
court, English or American? Ac-
cording to the Northwest boun-
dary settlement Of 1S46. the for
ty-ninth parallel was to be fol-
lowed westward to the straits,
when the channel was to be fol-
lowed. But now the question
arose, on which side OF the island
did the channel run, both routes
being used?
Thus the matter assumed an
international aspect, and soon
troops of both nations occupied
the island. For a time hostili-
ties seemed imminent. but wiser
counsels prevailed, and the ques-
ton was referred to the German
Emperor. who decided in favor OF
the United States.

The Revolution in China.

The revolution in China is being man.
aged with consummate skill. The con-
fldence which has marked every step OF
its progress gives cOrroboration to the
statement that it is not a sudden up
rising, but a carefully planned effort io
overthrow the Manchu dynasty. an ef-
fort which has been aided by foreign
capital and intrusted to men of ability
and resource. In addition to this, the
fact that foreigners are not in danger
and that especial instructions have. been
given to the revolutionary forces to
protect them, indicates that no excuse
is to be given to outside nations to in
terfere. The lesson of the Boxer up
rising is still remembered.
The storm center is a province which
is a trading center, with great water
ways made by a network of canals to
and from the Yangtze-Kiang and the
Han-Kiang, and including the we'll
known commercial city of Hankow, on
the railroad line, connecting Canton
with ,Pekin. The concessions given to
the promoters of that road and other
privileges given to foreigners, which in
terfere with the caravan routes radiat,
ing from Hankow, were the ostensibls
cause for the dissatisfaction, but there
is no doubt that it has deeper root.
At the head of the movement is DR.

In the Center of the Stage.

The games for the baseball champion
ship occupy the center of the stage
They overshadow in interest every
other event. The thousands who wit
messed the game in New York yester-
day were but small proportion OF the
crowds which everywhere followed the
progress OF the contest. In every city
and hamlet in the country the telegraph
carried the details Of the play.
Nothing could better illustrate the
hold which baseball has upon the Amer
lean people They are almost baseball
crazy. They have entered into the
spirit OF the game with an intensity
which is typical of the country, and
their knowledge OF the men who COM
pose the opposing team is most COM
plete. Until the championship is de-
cided the excitement will be intense.
1t IS worth while for The American
people, who are proverbially engrossed
in business, to have this diversion. 1t
is safe to say, however. that there would
be little popular following were it not
for the fact that the managers OF the
game have kept it free from the evils
which only too often mar athletic con-
tests. Year in and year out the teams
meet and struggle. and no suspicion Of
jockeying or dishonesty Is uttered. The
people have faith in the fact that the
games are played upon their merits.
This is the secret OF basebalrs popu-
lari;y. As long as it can be kept clean,
it will be the national sport

England and the United States. He is
imbued with democratic ideas, and is
eager to persuade his countrymen that
the most effective way to get rid of the
Manchu dynasty is by the abolition OF
the entire monarchical system. Whether
he can transform China into a republic
is another question. Only few years
ago the idea would have seemed fam
tastic. Perhaps it may even now be
inpracticable, for the masses are still
woefully ignorant of their own rights.
Yet with the army and navy in the
hands of men educated here and in
Europe, and with the example of the
Occident before them, there is no tell
ing what the outcome will be. This
is an age when strange things are hap
pening, when achievements become
commonplace which a generation ago
seemed impossible
The fact that owing to their isolation
every town or village is practically a
self-governing body will have to be
reckoned with, and may greatly facili-
tate the ultimate result. Nowhere else
in the world does home hule prevail as
completely as in central China. The re-
ported secession of an entire province,
and the establishment of a properly or
ganized administration, indicates that
the entire empire may become involved
in the present outbreak. which is headed
by men who have not studied in vain
the democratic governments of the
world

Italy and The Hague Tribunal

Forty-three powers in 1907 sent their
representatives to The Hague to give
a fresh development TO the work begun
by the international peace conference
in 1890, These powers had established
a court Of arbitration, accessible to all,
and had agreed to the following mo-
mentous declaration in article p:
The signatory powers consider ii
their duty, If serious dispute threatens
to break out between two or more OF
them, to remind these latter that the
permanent court is open to them. Con-
>equently, they declare that the fact OF
reminding the conflicting parties OF the
provisions OF the present convention
and the advice given to them in the
highest interests of peace TO have re-
course to the permanent court can only
be regarded as friendly actions
In 1907 this article p became article
q, with the following additional and
very significant clause:
In case Of conflict between two pow
ers one OF them can always address
tanning d declaration that II would be
ready t. submit the dispute to arbitra-
tion. The bureau must at once inform
the other power of the declaration
Such was the decision, the pledge,
and the unanimous declaration, only
four ye4rs ago, OF the representatives
OF all the governments which are
charged with the control OF the human
race. To-day, however, we are con-
fronted with war actually in progress.
The papers are all full OF intervention
talk, yet neither of the disputants has
appealed to The Hague tribunal What
is still more amazing, not one OF the
forty-three contracting parties has
thought it worth while to perform the
duty which they solemnly undertook to
discharge in 1907.
This is the bewildering the stupefying
fact which will puzzle the historian Of
the future, and which is well calculated
to dismay all those who believe in the
ordered progress of human society.
Italy, through Count Nigra and Count
Tornielli, took leading part in franz
ing the conventions of The Hague II
was the boast OF Italy that she led the
van of nations in this cause If the
Turkish government would insist that
the whole dispute be referred to The
Hague tribunal for adjustment, it would
be a difficult matter for Italy to ex-
plain, even to her own subjects, why an
affirmative reply should not be made.
In any case there is plain duty be-
fore all civilized men in every country.
The Hague conventions represent the
aspirations of all that is highest and
best in the human heart. They also
embody the mature result of experience
and reflection of responsible rulers of
all the nations of the world They are
to millions of men the most authorita-
tive expression of the moral conscience
of man. To make war without having
invoked first the aid created for its
avoidanse is to declare war upon The
Hague conventions themselves. Those

John Marshall Harlan.

1t is something of an anomaly that
the oldest justice upon the bench OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States should have been the most pro-
gressive.
The name of John Marshall Harlan
will be spoken with reverence and ad-
miration by generations yet unborn.
Fer 4 third of a century he dispensed
justice in the highest court of the land,
and throughout his long and honorable
term manifested the highest INSTINCTS
of patriotism and loyalty More than
this. he stood. often solitary and alone,
as the outspoken exponent OF deep
and abiding faith in the great masses
of the people. He was the apostle Of
democracy and sturdy foe of special
interests Many years ago, in the
Knight case, the first of the sugar trust
cases. he wrote a dissenting opinion
that reads to-day like prophecy. When
the majority of the court decided that
the Sherman antitrust law had not
been violated. Justice Harlan held
otherwise and asserted that any other
view would inevitably result in the Gre
alton of great industrial monopolies,
bringing with them a problem that
would require the highest degree of hu-
man skill and patience to adjust prop
erly In time these came, and WIKI
them the evils which he had so clearly
foreseen.
1t might almost be said that when
Justice Harlan dissented, the future
proved that he was right. He dissented
from the majority decision of the court
establishing the unoonstitutionality of
the income tax law OF 1894. and his
opinion represents to-day the sentiment
Of a majority OF the people as it does
that of Congress- He alone refused to
subscribe to the majority opinion on the
recent trust cases. in which the court
interpoIated the word reasonable" into
the Sherman law. and his protest
against legislation by judicial decision
will long remain one Of the most en-
phatic uttcrances ever delivered from
any bench. It remains to be seen
whether his prediction Of the i'll results
certain to follow from that decision will
be as accurate as his forecast of events
in the Knight case.
Appointed by President Hayes as
Republican, Justice Harlan was never
theless a democrat in the true sense OF
the word. He was a man Of the people,
simple and democratic in his habits,
always firm in his convictions. His
picturesque and commanding figure
made him noticeable in any gathering,
and his love of social gatherings and
outdoor sports brought him into con-
tact with an unusually large circle of
friends His place will be peculiarly
difficult for the President to fill Pop
