THE REAL CRIME

The class at kirk had been reading
the story of Joseph and his brethren,
and it came the turn of the visiting
minister to examine the lads. The
replies to all his questions had been
quick, intelligent, and correct. Such
as: What great crime did these sons
of Jacob commit" ''They sold their
brother Joseph" quite correct.
For how much?" Twenty pieces
of silver" "And what added to the
cruelty and wickedness of these bad
brothers?" mo answer.) What
made their treachery even more de-
testable and heinous?" Then a bright
little fellow stretched out an eager
hand. We'll, my little MANI"
Please, sir, they sellt him over

some facts aud figures bearing
upon our present conditisn and
expect to place before the Board at
our next regular meeting on

At our meeting last Monday
evening we did not have a quorum
present, therefore could not transact
any business. 1t was suggested
that we postpone building for an
other year, but it seems to me that
this would be very unwise, for If.
as has been so strenuously main
tanned, we have needed a
10000. 90 building for the last
year we certainly will need some
sort of building for another year.
BY visit to the school anyone
can satisfy themselves that we do
need more room. The question IS
how much and what will it cost,
and first of all where will we
place it.

THE FAIRGROUNDS.

Probably no one regrets the closing of the playground season more than those children who have depended upon it for their summers entertainment As a relief to the monotony of a long vacation, dependent upon their own Ingenuity and unrestricted latitude, 1t only requires a brief observance of the appreciation manifested for the Advantages received to quickly dem- ionstrate the worth of the playgrounds. They cater to the needs of the chii- dren at a time when good influences. whoIesome play and proper restraint nre invaluable. and do it in a manner which e1icits the interest and cooper affon of the children themselves.
 That the playground season has been si44m and attendance which has char lActerized 1t; that 1t has brought out the largest attendance since the idea was put Into operation indicates the healthy condition of the movement. Tho5zsands of children of the city have not only enjoyed the opportunities and privileges afforded by the grounds and the supervision, but they have profited
 by the protection and the instructions, and Norwich has reason to\ be proud of the organization which has done so much for the building up of this system. The Norwich Playground as- scciation has carried the movement lar beyond the demonstration stage and 1t deserves the, hearty apprecia- ticn and support of the citizens.

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF. THE NEGRO PLOT.

There is a certain amount of simil- arity fn the New York negro plot ana that of the New England Salem witches. They were both the out each instance clergyn1en were among the sufferers.
 The negro plot was one of the most curious and interesting events in the history Of society in this country dur ing the colonial period. 1t occurred Tn m delusiofl. In every way, the New York plot runs parallel with the witch craft trials-in the absurdity of the deIusion. In tue ferocity of the pop uIar excitement, in the violence that was done to common sense. reason and the law and in the bloody and awful results of the proceedings.
 A considerable degree of i'll feeling had for some time been growing be- tween the whites and the colored people of the city of New Iork. The passions of the respective parties and difaculties occurring between in dividuals The whole mass of ac- etirufIlated fear, prejudice. hatred and revenge WAS at last kindled, as by spark, on the utterance of the cry Negro ploti' and the community and frensied delusien, each individual contributing fuel to the flame.
 Accusations, confessions. executions followed in quick succession. The government. the judges, the entire bar. and all classes were swept into and fifty persons were cast into prison. Four white persons were hanged. Eleven co1ored persons were burned at the stake, eighteen were hanged and fifty were transported into West India slavery. This horrible scene AI~A 1~1a T-f@ While the plot was at it's height there deveIoped a more ridiculous de1usion, and It seems to have pervaded the whole community and that was that religion was back of the conspiracy.
 On Feb. 2S a robbery had been to the house of Hughson, a place where the slaves had been accustomed to meet, drink. gamble and secrete their stolen goods Hughson's inden- tured servant. Mary Burton, became the chief witness against her master and the other victims:
 When on March IS following a fire broke out in the fort and destroy ed the governors house and other build fr1as. there seemed little doubt in the minds of the excited people that there was a secret plot of the part of the colored people to burn the city. Mary Burton gave damaging testimony and claimed the colored people had held meetings at Hughsen,s and had de- cided to destroy all the whites, and that one Caesar a black was to be governor and Hushson king.
 Her entire story was a fabrication. She charged John Ury. an Episcopal clergyman, with being concerned in the plot. He was at once indicted, tried and executed and at the place Of execution solemnly denied the charge and called upon God to witness It's faiseness Mary Burton received the reward of E 100. but her testi- nony was at last doubted.

TARIFF OPERATIONS.

Nothing has done more to divert attention from the operations of the present tariff regulations and their ef- feet upon the conditions Of thef coun- try than the outbreak across the wa ter. It has directed interest to other things causing such study as the in- diyidual might have been giving to economic conditions to be abandoned for the more exciting and appalling situation.
 The war may be serving to take of some of the i'll effects of the tariff bill through making conditions much worse but 1t is impossible to over look the part which the democratic measure has played. By the consular reports for August 1t is shown that the exports to this country from Brad ford, England, district. a large wooden manufacturing center, for the six months ending June 30 of this year amounted to $17,494,869. This was the largest ir the history of the exports from that country barring the first six months of 1897 during the Cleveland administration. How great is the change is shown by the imports from that district for the first six months of the Payne-AldTich bill when the total was $1.657.3e6. The change means that the business Of one English cen- ter has been increased almost sixteen million, meaning that foreign produe- tion has been stimulated at the expense of American labor. and without bring ing any noticeable benefit to the Amer ican consumer. This is only one of the many instances where the demo- cratic policy has operated to the. det- riment of the people 1t was expected to benefit.

BIG WHEAT DEMAND.

Tn the west advice is being given to the farmers to make use of all available wheat land. Sow wheat, for the purpose of utilizing all productive areas and taking advantage of the international demand which must come. whether it is short or a long war, is sound advice. It is a recog- nized fact that nations must be fed whether they are at war or not, but being at war their normal production Of foodstuffs cannot fail to dwindle to very small proportion of the re- quirements. The result is that the demand upon the nations and colonies at peace is bound to jump. Thus the maintenance of the worlds production at its level where supply will equal the demand furnishes great opportu- mites for the American farmers.
 The advice that every available acre be devoted to t'-e raising of wheat is not being offe solely in this coun- try. Canada Is a great producer of this grain and 1t is being urged upon the Canadian government from Liver pool that influence be directed towards increasing the acreage for the next year. The same is going to be true of the farming areas of Argentina.
 Even though this has been a. year for big wheat crop. it has not result cd in providing sufficient amount to prevent a marked rise in the price Even though such may be based upon future demand it is nevertheless wis dom which directs preparations nov for the increased requirements whi
 are bound to come later and befc
 Europe can settle down to supplying any large percentage of her demands

HER WASTED EFFORT.

The stout woman who dashed down the hotel steps beamed so hard~Rt the sight of the young man that her ardor made up for his lack of enthusiasm when she joined him.
 "Oh, MT. Hatters!" she gasped.
 Isn't this fortunate! I thought right away when you turned down this path that you were headed for the village, and I had to go some time to-day. and just hate walking alone don't you?

CANAL RECEIPTS.

While reports of the first weeks operations of the Panama canal show receipts of but $15.000. in view of the immense amount of trade which has been withheld from passing through that convenient waterway because of the. paralysis caused by the war in
 urope, 1t .s nothing to cause discour- azement. Such an amount doesn't represent a drop in the bucket, being insufficient even to meet the cost of operating the canal, to say nothing of tho fntersst on the millions invested, but nothing could be more unjust as a basis of future earnings than the first weeks tolls.
 Tn the first place the transatlantic shipping conducted So extensively by those nations which are involved in the war has been almost wiped out That of Germany has been driven from the seas while the other countries are operating only at a minimum For the ,effect which it will have upon the tolls no worse time could have been fixed for the opening of the canal. but the present is no time for the judging the financial return which can be
 oected therefrom. The coastins
