VIGILANCE ABATED.

The United States district attorney
at Charleston. W. Va, has shown a
disinchnation to prosecute offenders
under the Mann white slave act, where
the statutes of the state provide ade-
quate punishment, Particularly aggra-
waited cases will be looked into, but, as
rule, the district attorney will not
interfere with the transportation OF
women from one state to another for
immoral purposes
For a while, especially during the
prosecution of Diggs and Caminetti in
California and Jack johnson in Chicago
there was something like crusade
against the white slavers as well as
those violators of the Mann act who
could not be charged with engaging in
commercialized vice. Lately there seems
to have been let-up all along the line,
there being fewer prosecutions of the
real white slavcrs and mparatively
none at all of the second class of of
Tenders. One much-vaunted wave OF
morality seems to have suffered a re,
lapse, or else there is less yioaltion oil
this particular law. Anyhow, there are
not so many prosecutions and not nearly
so much excitement over the white slave

ABDUL HAMID.

Abdul Hamid, deposed sultan of Tur-
key, is again reported to be sick unto
death, and this time seems likely to
make a 90 Of it. Although devoutly
believing, like all good Mohammedans,
that fhe prophet aud number Of beau
tiful blacls-eyed women will welcome
him on the other side, Abdul has al
ways seemed more than reluctant to
make the change. Now that nature has
exhausted itself, perhaps he is recon-
ciled
Abdul, when at the height of his
power, was generally considered re-
dictionary. In other words, he held fast
to the ancient customs and traditions of
the Moslems and let the world 90 on
without him He succeeded to the
throne upon the deposition of his
brother, Murad V, and was in turn de-
posed by the Young Turk party and
the present sultan taken from prison
and placed in the palace. Since that
time old Abdul has been having some
experience with the seamy side of life,
although he has been fed and clothed
and allowed the companionship Of IA
vorite wife or two.
Turkey has not gained either in pres
tige or power since Abdul Hamid was
removed from the helm. He was a past
master in diplomacy and intrigue and
knew so well how to play one Euro
pean nation against another that when
it was occasionally announced that the
"sick man" of Europe could not get
well and that Turkey was to be dis
membered at last most observers
thought they knew better and the result
always justified their opinion.
Abdul Hamid is 72 years old. Al
though once powerful ruler, his talk
ing off will not cause a tear to be shed
or ripple on the surface of the
world 3 politics. There is this to be
said about him. however: His shoes
have not been filled since he was de-
posed, and so far as known there ism Il
a man in Turkey his equal in the mat
ter OF brains or the ability to govern.

LITTLE RAILROAD WORK.

Complaint is made by the contractors
and laboring men that there is less
railroad construction work going on at
the present time than for many years
past. The reason is obvious. The rail
road managers claim that by reason Of
the higher cost of labor and the in
creased price of about everything else
they are unable TO make improvements
unless they are allowed corresponding
increase in freight rates. So far the
plea has not carried any weight with
the interstate commerce commission
and the proposed increases have been
held up pending an inquiry in every
instance.
The railroads arc laboring under an
additional handicap by reason Of the
fact that they must obtain the consent
of railroad commissions in MANY states
before they are allowed to issue bonds

some profit In six years his little
farm was keeping thirty domestic ami

splendid work attracted the attention
of the officials Of the department Of
agriculture at Washington. and he was
requested TO write bulletin on agrl-
culture, which was published and is
now being read by thousands of farm
ers who used TO be opposed to what
they called "book farming Such
cases illustrate the Importance of brain
work as well as hand work on the
farm If Mr. DIETRICH had relied on his
hand work alone the sheriff would
have sold his farm at auction long ago
to satisfy the mortgage. But he used
his brains and his hands both, paid the
mortgage and now owns the farm.

two young men were brought to this
city and had a prelim mary hearing

bound over to the grand jury, which

The mail sack was rifed about the
middle of the night some time last
summer, but it has never been ascer-
tanned whether or not anything OF val
ue was secured.
Mr.. Kilgore. Sr., claims that the
next morning he found several pack
ages in an empty coal car. took them
to his home, and as soon as opportu-
nifty offered turned them over to the

The postmaster sent a detailed
statement Of the whole affair to the

arrest followed.
