Instructive paper on trusts read last nlrjht nt Cliamben liurrr before the atato convention of millets by the nceompllshed piosldent Judqe of Franklin county. Signs mo so nbundant of mi acute and growing public Interest In this Riant problem of our lime that anv Intell! cut contri bution to thn literature of It Is assured of popular welcome: and of Judge Stewait It mii'-t In said that he handles no subject w hlch by keen analysis and outspoken opinion he does not notably illumine. Testifying as o must, to the excep tional lucidity of his presentation of the respective arguments for and against trusts, i egret Is unavoidable that at tho climax of his uddress he leaves tho stage without having olt'eted a spcclllc suggestion of reined. The hint at icgulatlon simply piques our deslie to leain his ideas lis to how this may be made effective toward the ends he so vividly outlines. It Is not to bo disputed that against absolutism hi toinmeice most of the objections niv pertinent that wo In America have been taught to advance against absolu tism In government. The concentra tion In one company or In orTP execu tive olllcial of unlimited libwer over a large branch of human activity Is as danceroua in tiade as It Is in politics, conducing to arrogance and oppression; and bearing in mind Judge Stewart's political hlstoly wo aie not surprised to find him artayed fearlessly against It. Hut declamatory opposition is fu tile unless accompanied by definite proposition of cure; and for this reason wo expect to hear from the Franklin county jurist again. In the meantime, upon the eve of the assemblage of the big trust confeience in Chicago, when Intellectual Intel est in the theme of Judge Stewait's ad dress Is approaching its zenith, we may bo sure that no recommendation from us will be needed to insure on the part of our leaders an attentive perusal of tho Judge's timely address, an address which mubt contribute laigely to the public's education. There Is a noticeable lack of hurrah at the farewell appearances of the stars of the base ball diamond this year. Object Lessons Needed. IIX'TFNANT VAN DUZKR of tho t'nlled f'tate.-' warship Chariest. m, now stationed in the Philippines, has written to S-'cnator-elect Scott of West Vlislnli an lntprontlnfj Mter upon Philippine undltlonp, ir, the course of which ha s ',- "i think the Flllpii.cu will give up imioie the end of the neu dry s.-aton, and perhaps long before that 1 think I am within the limit of fact when I say that not 10 per cent, of the Inhabitants of these Islands havo any Interest in the Insurrection .mil that Ihree-quaiters et these take tlivlr attitude owing to mlsieprosentfUion of our people and tho intentions of our government, while a very large propor tlun of the natives would prefer Amer ican itile to any form of government by their own people. The only real Irreconcilable", are the leadeis. who hope to get control ot the Islands and thus got rich" Major Theodore SUrnberg, biother ot Surgeon Oeneral Sternberg, now sta. tloned at Hollo, writes home: ", look forward n the Hire when there shall be Ameilean homes, Amrlcan families and Amriicau schouls here. 11 want to roc Amexlcan ideas grafted on to this native stock and I believe, the graft will grow and bear trull. Catch tnesj nnthos youiiir and they can he made, tho rank and file of them, good, useful citizens; nut what can you expect when labor Is not considered honor able, when tho foreigner will not get up to help himself to a cigar on a tablo In tho Tme room, but will cull for a servant to get It for him? We must how these people by object les sons the honor which is in honest labor, the d'ilghts of American home life on the farm nnd tho dignity of owning your own tarm and Jlvlnjf m it. I have met many inquiries as W when are the Americans fjolng to es tablish schools. These people are anxious to learn and want schools, nnd after the fighting is over nothing our people can do would meet a qulckex or more grateful response than free schools. Tho x-ate of wages paid Is tho real criterion by which to pudge of n people. Not far from Hollo Is a. plantation, surar; the owner, a for eigner, paid M Mexican and V. United Stntes money a month for hln labor ers! Just think of It, J2 ppr month for u man! I want these people taught to tarn and get decent wages, and that Is tihe bottom of this whole question ot the future, and 'tho elevation of labor txere is tho oar we must use These pwiplc 'quickly catch on If ehown, and will soon uso American ploughs, rut on shoes and stockings, eo to school, get up enucufeg, nominate tickets, voti nnd hunt for oflco ns rendlly vp our AmerlcuiiB do tit heme." Testimony to this effect Is heaid from ovcry experienced observer, American nnd foreigner, who Is not tillnded by prejudice or excitement Tho date upon which the treaty ot cession of the Philippines was ratified by our sennte will ln time to coino b? looked upon by both Americans nnd Filipino n one ot the brightest anniversaries in the history of civilization. The most unnleusant feature about the good news from Lieutenant Peary Is the reappearance of tho alleged pic tures of Mrs. Peary In a bearskin bon net. The Wail of the Boers. THE COMMANDINO genetal of the Boer army, "enerul Joubert, who Is nts'i -vkc-pxcsldent of the South Afri can republic, cables to the Chicago Hecord: "The swarms of capitalists and ad venturers who have been nttracted to the Transvaal by Its gold are not con tent with trjlng by their cunning to swindle the Poors out of their lands and th?!r riches, but they would control the country absolutely.

Next come Joseph Chamberlain's screams for the maintenance of sur.einlnty, and on top of that his quarrel with the Trans- vanlV franchise regulations. This reaches the ears of the whole world, and the Txansvanl. deserW by all the I chlllzed or 'great' powers Is unable to get either impartial Investigation ov arbitration. Thus, unaided by any, the republic must bow the Unee to Cnatnberlaln, must concede his de mands and l&se it" Independence or else set nil South Africa ablaze. This Is our true position: We hope and pray for peace, but we shall not abandon the Indepfndence of the r. public so long as we have life, let the cost be what It may " An appal of this kind for s,npathy Is llkrly to bo In some degree effective; but the intelligent public at large whil respecting tho desire of tho Boers for Independence, does not forget that In dependence can only be allowed to a small power upon the basis of Its fair treatment of all law-abiding Inhabit ants within Its territory. If the Boers had dealt fairly and generously with the ultlander element Its uppeal do the world's sympathy would today be Ir resistible. But Inlustlco has a habit of coming home to roost; and this return Is hastened when the role of tyranny Is assumed by a nation not strong enough to brazen It through. If Colonel Esterhazy consents to meet Captain Phelan In mortal combat one feature of the Dreyfus case Is liable to be settled with a thud. Naval Developement. OME TIME, ago upon the basis of an Inadequate cable dis patch, we called attention to certain suggestions for naval Improvement made by Congressman Foss as the result of his personal study of European naval conditions. His subsequent return to this country and elaboration of these suggestions fur nish warrant for a second reference to the matter. These innovations will be urged by Mr. Foss when congress meets: A naval policy board to formulate a har ...,...i.,.. iHuiuuiin jjiuKnwimu oi naval con struction to run through a series of years: a great system of national naval reserves; new administrative sys tem for navy yards; barracks for sea men ashoie; new system of rewards for deeds of heroism, perhaps by the awurd of medals similar to foreign decorations; and a s-ystem of stone docks, in explanation he says: "Our navy is being built piecemeal and with out any well-detlned programme. The Plan of one year may be changed by congress the next year. There shuuld be a board of naval experts to deter mine what kind of a inivv the United States should have, and It .-liould for mulate n plan of construction Miat should extend over a term of ye.irr. .Such a system would give a navy built for spcclllc ends and on harnuui'ous, well-balanced lines, with duo propor tions of the various types of war ves sels. The recommendations of such a board would command tho confidence of congress, and would save that body much experimenting and blundering. I would like to see Admiral Dewey at the head of such a board. I have be come convinced that the Ameiicun people want a great navy and that they will give the money freely to build one. but we should not go on In our old hap hazard wav. Now Is the time for a well-defined system." Opposition to reasonable naval devel opment has been vanquished by the logic of recent events. "We are now a sea power, with outlying possessions tl10USnml8 of miles apart. Our seamen ' nro tne Uest afloat and our naval sys- tern should be In unison. Congressman Koss will have widespread support for his well-considered pt ejects of naval development. The navy is the nation's pride und nothing that It ne-ds will be withheld. Tho champion high jumper of Armour Institute has just died of appendicitis. The growing theory that sudden shocks are responsible for mfny cases uf this complaint will probably be strength ened by tlxls circumstance. In 'ilgh Jumping as well as other athletic sports the tendency to overdo tho nxatte? is often disastrous. Many a g(jod con stitution has beep seriously impaired by the efforts of tho possessor to weur a trinket or t'trlp of ribbon Indicating the winner of tho first pxlze, nnd the persons who aro best endowed bv na ture for long llfo often die before their tlmo on nccount of over-exertion. Ath letics that develop tho human body am to be commended, but tho system that overtaxes one's vitality It Is feared Is too much n vogue In Institutions. s where better judgment should be exercised. The main charges against Pension, CommlsMoner Kvans bad absolutely no foundation but It would seem that there was a good deal of merit In the objec tion to tho rule which requires Bpeclal pension cxamlnexs to aslt soldiers' wid ows It In widowhood they have lived rbusto llvoe. It l explained that this rule applies only tu widows ngalnst whom charges of Immoinllty have been filed, but for obvlou reasons It is use lens ns a precaution and grossly offen sive In Its Implication. Wu don't know who promulgated this fool rule but whoever did ought to bo ashamed ot himself nnd Commissioner Kvans should waste no time In ordering Its repenl. I i.'n lodnilnn- unnn Ms fancied rlcht to use the floor of the street car as a cuspidor Mllllonalro Bradbury of San Fnimjisco has been arrested, convicted, fined nnd sent to Jail. The bipedal hog must go. Something Is evidently, wrong with the Democracy. Several lays havo passed without an appeal to Admiral Dewey to accept the nomination to the presidency. HUMAN NATURE STUDIES ? wideawake Men As is well known, the Olympla broke -0 1 K lZ K on)y Wc M Lgnorn( jtaiy Joseph A, stlckney, the Chlcngo ijecord correspondent who stood on tho biidge with Dewey during the Manila fight und Is ccmlng home with hlm.was talking with the admiral about this point. "I asked,' he writes, "whether the speed was not somewhat checked by the neccslsty of counteracting tho side movement of the one engine by tho use of the helm." ' 'Oh. I suppose so,' replied the nd mlral, 'I'll Just ask that signal boy and find out whether he has taken any notice of the helm motion coming thiough the Mediterranean since the screw whs injured.' ' The signal boy was en the watch on the bridge, and the admiral had no means of knowing whether tho young ster had been at the wheel, but his object was to learn how attentive the lad had been to the steering of the ship. " 't think, sir.' he replied to the ad miral's question, 'that we carried a little stax-board helm all the way down the Adriatic.' "'About bow much?' asked the ad miral. " 'Five or six degx-een, I should say, sir.' " 'Go ask the chief quartermaster,' said the admiral. "Presently the youngster came back and said that the average starboard helm carried while running with the port engine? only was five degrees. " 'There! What do you think of that?" said tho admiral triumphantly. 'That boy is a fair specimen of our appren tices. They keep their eyes open and learn all about the ship and the meth ods of handling her wlthlout being forced to do so,' " His Occupation. A rather good story Is told at 'the ex pense of the Hev. W. W. Molr, rector of St. Eustace church, relates the Adl londack. It Is Mr. Moir's custom to take the offertory every Sunday to some one of the hotels and receive a check therefor. The hotels are glud of the small change, and It Is more con venient to send a check to the secre taty than a quantity of small change. This week Mr. Molr was counting out tbe sliver and bills at one of the large hotels while the clerk was making out the check. He observed a small boy watching him with evident curiosity. "Well, my boy, what is it " said the x-everend gentleman, In his usual kind ly way. "Oh, nothing, sir," said the boy, and glancing again at the pile of sliver and nickels on the counter, "only nro you tho gentleman what runs the slot machine down stairs?" He Protected the Clerk. A typical story of Lord Curzon comes fioni India. A government clerk on a visit to his home overstayed his leave a day or two, and was dis missed by the head of his department. As the man had over twenty years' service he appealed to tho viceroy, nnd in due coutse the head was asked to explain, says the Chicago News. He gae the reason for the dismissal as general Incompetence. The viceroy or deied the clerk to bo reinstated, and wrote across the report that In his opinion the incompetence lay with tho man who took twenty years to dis cover such a shortcoming In his clerk. The Persian Method. A physician recently returned trim Persia relates how ho onco entei-ed a barber's shop and while waiting for his turn saw u man treated for rheuma tism. Tho baiber. after a short praver, touched his patient three times with a hot Iron That was the cure. The next man was suffering from a bad toothache He was operated up on for 13 or 20 minutes Finally a por tion of the tooth was removed. "Ah!" exclaimed the barber calmly, "that's tho piece In which tho pain was'" They Wished Him the Same. The vicar of a South London church school having finished his Scripture les son the otiher day, relates an English school Journal, congratulated the top class on a coming holiday, tlnlshlng with tlie expression of a hope that each boy wnultf "return with clearer and better bialns." Ho was somewhat tak en back with tho universal response of "Fame to you sir " NUBS OF KNOWLEDGE. There are 50,000 Hebrews in Ituly. One-tenth of tho world Is still unex plored.
