are adjudicated in this world without
waiting for the next. This means not
alone In the convictions and penalties
Of conscience, but in the palpable, pub
lie and proportionate punishment for
ones misdeeds. An instance has just
been reported from Bologna, where a
homicide that remained a mystery for
| IL years has been cleared up.
| A certain individual was suspected
of mortally attacking citizen named
Giro Predieri, but despite long and te-
dious operations of the police, could
not be found. This man, Guglielmo
Nanni, 80 years old, was a nephew of
the victim and would bs largely bene-
flied in the event of his death. If not
the actual perpetrator of the assassina-
ton, he was suspected of being its in
his precipitate flight and protracted
concealment. This very evasion
strengthened the suspicion, and every
police agent was fortified with pic
ture and description of the fugitive.
| His likeness was as II engraved upon
the official memory. Other culprits were
caught and punished; the old photo
graphs Of Nanni were lost or filed. but
the department did not forget. After
more than a decade. Nanni thought it
safe to lay aside his disguise. to move
about safely in his own aspect, but
scarcely had he embraced this fatal de-
lusion when he was recognized by the
unsleeping eye of the law. Arrested on
the 18th, in Bologna, he at first stoutly
| denied the crime but now awaits. in
| solitary wretchedness, the condign inev-
liability Of his deserts.

Haste Makes Waste
Selling Egyptian Wheat.
Egyptian Gazette, Cairo.-Another
disconcerting instance of the danger of
making haste too quickly Is afforded by
the heavy fall that has lately taken
! place in wheat prices in Egypt, conse-
quent. 1t is supposed, upon the large
quantities of wheat that have been
thrown on the market by local growers,
who are pressed for funds.
As consequence, the government has
had to take steps to prevent the further
flooding of the market by arranging
with the Agricultural Credit Bank for
cash advances to the growers to enable
them to hold up supplies.
It Is repetition in some ways Of the
situation that has occurred in the past
in cotton, and the economist must view
it with certain feeling Of despair.
Wheat was to help Egypt to overcome
the difficulties created by low cotton
prices by the provision of an alter
native crop and the reducing Of wheat
and -four imports from overseas. As
was thought at the time, the scheme
had some obvious pitfalls. II Egyptian
wheat could be used for making bread
for the European population of the
country, and could thus also find
market abroad, all might be well, and
the growers here could rightly be en-
couraged to produce all the wheat that
the soil would yield.
