Kighth N4 state can exclude from Its terri tory Ihe cotporatlon ot another state encaged in interstate commerce, and hence a monopoly In manufacture i existing in one state, If also en paged in Interstate commerce, may, to far as any state is concerned, carry its product Into every state and control the price and irarlet everywhere, hifntb These evils and others Incident thereto can bo etTcctiiely remedied" by a constitutional amendment and subsequent cougiesslonal action only. In this snino connection tho Republi can majority of the house judiciary committee reported favorably a. bill making sweeping amendments to the glieniiun anti-trust law. One of these amendments makes combinations in restraint of Interstate commerce crimi nal Instead of Illegal and Increases the penalty for conviction. Another In cludes amunp those against whom pro ceedings may be bi ought tho ngents, olllcers and attorneys of tho suspected cotporatlon. Another denies to the con victed monopoly use of the malls and provides that the railroads shall not transport their goods, the latter being Mibjeet to confiscation by United States iimiphul. The railroad which know ingly transports such goods Is to be subject to a line of not less than $500 nor mote than $3,000; and the agent, olllcer, manager or attorney of such railroad who aids In the transportation Is to bo punishable by heavy line and Imprisonment. Knfot cement Is pro vided for by making prosecutions man datory upon United States district at torneys, clothing tho federal courts with power to summon persons and papeis, and giving to any person, firm, corporation or association or any olll cer of tho United States, the light to begin any civil or criminal proceeding or piosecutlon authorized In this act, whether In the name of or In behalf of the United States or otherwise. The foregoing propositions, It will be perceived, exhaust the limit of drastic treatment of objectionable trusts. Yet the Democratic minority now makes a leport dissenting from and objecting to them. Tho Democrats pronounce the pioposed constitutional nmendment "feeble"; they deny that existing laws have been cnfoiced piopeily; anil In stead of supporting vigorously the amendments to the Sherman act set forth above, which put it In the lwwer of any citizen at any time to set the whole machinery of tho federal courts In motion against a trust, they go out of the way to suggest other lemedles, mostly lat-fotclied and Indirect, such ns the denial of patent rights to trusts, the lcmoval of tariff duties, etc. In short, when confronted with defi nite ptoposltlons of anti-trust legisla tion, tho Democrats, notwithstanding their furious howls against the trusts and their demagogic and nsperslvo as sertions that tho Republican party Is a. titist-govcincd institution, havo backed squarely down and revealed themselves In olllclal records as afraid to lift a hand against tho octopuses they clamor so much about. Never was a spectacle at once so ludicrous and so pitiable. In other words, the United States does not propose to go to war In order that South Africa may have peace. An Incongruous Alliance. T -tIlK ROKR envoys assert that tney expected the reply sub mitted to them by Secretary Ilav and add that It does not modify their purpose, which Is to appeal to the people of this country In the hope of bringing about American Intel entIon in their behalf. Vc suppose this means that they will Join hands with the Uiyan boomers in a guerilla warfuie on the JIcKInlcy administration. There Is no law to pic vent tho carrying out of .such a pro gi amine. Having presented no creden tials they are not amenable to the dis cipline which it Is customary for our government to administer upon for eign repiesentativcs who intermeddle with Ameilcan politics. Their status 1 simply that of unoflicial visitors, who hae complete llbeity of speech and action so long ns they obey our state and fedetal statutes. They seem to bo men deeply in earnest and anxious to make a good Impiesslon. The real fi lends of tho Roer cause In this country should thcrcfoie admonish them to abandon their awkwaid and unavailing alllanco with the Democratic campaign man agers and jshould point out to them that no good whatever cun accrue to their countiymen In South Africa by Inter meddling in Ameilcan politics. The iidminlstiation at Washington rwlll not be swerved from Its duty by minority clamor. Its policy of Impartial neu tiality has been deliberately chosen ns being the only policy consistent with existing circumstances and the Ameri can people will not depart from it, no in.iuer wnat the lioer envojs may say or do. The decision of the Methodist j?en cmi conference to admit women dcle K.itcs is a tardy lint none the less wel enme (.11111 o.shIoii of Justice to the sex ivhkli suppoits the chinch. Looking Ahead. WHKX OXK of the spcake nt a public meeting: he In Cape Town In lion era held honor or Mafeklng's relief rc fericd to tho Hews as cowardly scoun diels, Sir Alfred Mllncr. the nrltish high commissioner. Intel posed a Just 1 1'lnilti". He could, he said, admire heroism even In enemies. Ho believed that only a few Iloors were concerned In the icpoited cases of treachery. He declared that they were mainly bravo men lighting for a bad cause, which llioy believed was right. Tilt's Is the proper and also the poll tic spirit. The Hngll.sii have not only to conquer the llors by fence of arms; that, considering the preponderance ot their numbers and stiength. Is the smullcbt of their tasks and Is already well-nigh accomplished. The greater duty awaits them when, having won In the appeal to force, they shall begin to reconstruct the foundations of gov ernment and society with a view to promoting the substantial and perma nent welfare of South Aft lea. The spirit of Ioid Mllner's utterance Is the spirit of a statesman who knows that a stable civilization cannot bo es tablished on 11 basis of itico hatred, suspicion, jealousy and mutual III will. Tho Boers are a necessary part of tho future of South Africa, and even if they were not It is not likely to bo feaslblo to transport them. When they have learned a few lessons In thu school of war tho next step will bo to show them that British control doas not mean tyranny, oppression or pro scription but a reign of liberty with law und open Justice fou all men. It will do no good and much harm to call tho Boers cowards. They are not cowuids. Their petbonal bravery has been established beyond reproach. The tioublo Is wholly with their mental upparatus. It has not knit paco with tha cgc. It U obsolete- ana needs re- pairing. A generation or two of good government conducted on modern prin ciples and liberalizing tendencies will miko a new man of tho Boer and one who in thp years to ebmc will frankly admit that what Sir Alfred Mllncr said wiiH true. - The arrival of the bubonic plague In San Francisco may well causo alarm. Under ordinary conditions the problem of checking an epidemic Is ono to create anxiety, and tho San Tranclsco health olllclals, confronted by hordes of unkempt and uneducated Chinese who can never be reasoned Into proper observance of laws of san itation, have nn unenviable taBk be fore them In the effort to check the advance of this most terrible of plagues. Thu suspension of Director of Posts Rathbone Is not an indication that there is to be any covering up of the Cuban postal fiauds. If "pull" could save a man, Rathbone would probably escape. Ho Is Mark Hanna's most In timate friend. But "pull" Is powerless with the men who are conducting this Investigation. The guilty cannot es cape. Attorney General Griggs has indi cated that bo will cheerfully accept the extradition bill Introduced by Con gressman Ray, chairman of tho house judiciary committee. Now let con gress act piomptly, so thantho trial of Neely and his pals may bo expedit ed. The "Gaines gusher," which wns re cently purchased by tho Stundard Oil company for a fabulous price, has taken a sudden slump, and the output Is now but 210 barrels a day. This Is decidedly the shabbiest trick that has ever been played on tho great oil octo pus. Admiral Dewey has again denied, this lime in wilting, that bo ever au thorized n saluto to the Filipino flag or cnteied Into any kind of alliance with the Insurgents. It Is too much to expect, however, that the campaign liars will be silenced. In a few months hence It will be safe to wager that any aitlcle of merchan dise that did not iccelvo "the highest award at tho Paris Exposition" was not on exhibition during the world's fair. The existing ministry In Franco has received a vote of conlldcnce, which simply means that the fireworks are being held back until after the Paris exposition has closed. After Admiral Ahmed Pacha of Tur key has taUen tho measure of the Ameilcan navy, the sultan may feel mote disposed to pay up. The stampede from Pretoria seems another of the Indications that the end of the South African war Is near. Aguinaldo la not doing; much light ing now, but his proclamations seem liable to go on forever. Would be Senator Maginnis of Mon tana wears his honors thus far with commendable modesty. Quay having declared himself, an other blast from John WanamaKcr la in order. Almost any man would rather be the Iceman than the councilman these days. AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. From .1 Letter in the New York Sun. I.et an) body forget that vvi cherish an en tirely distinct and characteristic national indi viduality, and, asvvc lo)ally believe, an idea of government superior to that of any land whence our population has been drawn, let it Ijc remem bered that our government was founded as a vig orous protest against a political S)stem built upon the power ot birth and wealth. Our whole history is a record of upright men of strong, manly character forging to the front as our lead ers, not because they were reverenced for their wea.. or their family, but because their ability and integrity commanded the rcpect of the peo ple. 1'vcn where in tome instances their private lives showed a lack of the systematic discipline so essential in making tho most of a vigorous personality, the people balled .aem because they manfully stood up for the convictions of their better natures and showed the) could fight for them. 'Ibis manliness has never been supplanted by wealth in the reverence of our fellow citizens, nod while our Hag continues to suggest the truo history of our greatness It never will be. There is only one aristocracy in the United States, the aristocracy of pcnwual worth, and before the American people accept the doctrine that mere wealth makes the best rulers they will have to abandon their title to bo a distinct people, with a distinctive genius and foundation of political principle and theory. THE LIAR OF THE LINKS. I have been from Jlalne to Denver and from Denver to "the coast " And I've met with many liars great and small; I've listened to New Kngland biag and Jtlnnc- sola boast, And the wildcat Western whopper of them all.

In ISSt there were only 2.1l,84vVM bushels of wheat retained tor home consumption; In 1809 tho quantity retained was 452,S'!0,28. bushels. In ls9t there were thousands of people too poor even to buy bread. In ISC) every body could buy bread. These two comparisons represent the different conditions of the country under Democratic and Republican administrations. In 18D3, one of the years ot Democratic disas ter, the exports ot American cotton goods were worth only $13,7SD,S10. In 1S10 they amounted to $il,5l0,Dl I. I'nder the policy of protection there was an Increase of nearly JID.OOO.OOO In the foielgn demand for American goods, and fully ?H,O00,00O of this amount was paid by foreigners to American wagc-eainers. Outside of the city of New Yoik, the lnnk clearings of the t'nited States during the first four months of this jcar were $20o,OOci,(W greater than In the corresponding months of 1S0O. Thcru were good gains in all parts ot the country ex cept at New Yoik, where the dull stock mirkct lessened the bank clearings.

Editor ot The Tribune Sir: In a late issue )OU quote Dr. Sample, tne mfiHnr.ntnr of tie tritieril as-cmbly of the Pres byterian church, as 1 barging Christian Science with un-Chrlsllan views and ethics. 1 slnccrel) hope It was not intended tills charge should np plv to Christian Science as taught and exempli fied by Jlary Baker O. lUldy for nn shatt could be wider of its marl; than suel a one. Cluistlan Science includes neither s.vinpilhy nor defense for evil of any kind. The folly of pscudo-Chilsttan Science under every guise, and the alismdity in cident to errant undeistiuding. Christian Scien tists must always depbuc and exemplify that the surprising vviulom of genuine Christian Sci ence is alwa)3 In harmony v.-itli the lllblo and the very best Christian sentiment of the ages. Dr. Sample Ba)s: "It denies a personal Cod." In the Hible wo read (Dent. 4-13). "Ye saw no manner of similitude on the day tlic Lord spake unto sou in Itoreb," And again (Jcr. 23-21), "Do not I fill heaven and earth? eailh the I,ord." In Science and Health with key tn the Seilp tures by Jlary Baker (i. Kddy (page 10, line 21), we read: "If the term personality, as applied to God, means infinite pirsonalitv, then t.od is personal Being in this 6cnsc, but not in the lower sense." In the Presbyterian confelon of faith (chap. 2, see. 1), we read: "There is but ono only tlvlng and true Ccd, who is infinite in being and pei feclion, a most pure splilt, Invisible, without body, parts or passions, etc." Ileie it is seen that the authors of the l'i esb)-terian confession of faith in icmarkable coincidence ngice V'lih the teaihings of Jlrs. Kddy .ind Me It.n'a in ugard to the infinite personality of (!il. .g.iin Dr. Simple sa.vs: "It denies an incarnate ( hrist. a Saviour from fin." .lnhn describes Jesi.s as fol lows: "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and wo beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the 1'ather) full of giacc and truth"; and Paul speaks of "Jesu;, the mediator of the nevir covenant." Mrs. lMdy writes of Christ Jesus as follows (Science and Health with the key to the Sciip turc, pages 228 and 335): "Jlary's conception of Him was spiritual; for only purity could re flect truth and love, which were to be jneamale In tho good and pure Christ Jesus." "Jesus' advent in tho flesh partook partly of Mary's earthly condition, although he was endowed with the divine spirit without measure tills enabled Him to be the mediator, or way-shower be tween Rod and men." The Westminster confession of faith (ehap. 8, sec. 2), speaks of Jesus as "being conceived by the power of the Holy Chost, in the womb of the Virgin Jlary," and as "very (!od and very man. ct one Christ, tho only mediator between Cod and man." Hero tho stand ird of the Presby terian church has not more happily aseitcd tlic incarnation ot Christ and his mcdiatnriil office than have Jlrs.

Sample further n.vs It Is "the worst sjstcm of ethics tint ever diverted souls front Hod and duty." In "Christian Science versus Pantheism" by Jlary Ilaker Kddy (page 13) are set toith with striking emphasis tho following requirements! "Thou shalt havo no other gods before me." "Thou shall love thy neighbor as the) self." "Ho )c perfect, even as )our Father which Is In heaven is perfect," It goes without tajlng among correctly Informed people that these Bible rules embody the only ) stein of ethics ever anv where taught or exem plified by Mary linker i:ddy. And whatever may deserve the Indignation of Dr. Sample while tliuci shall last every true Christian Scientist will fol low this simple system of ethics Mrs. l'ddy has gleaned from the Bible emphasised and endorsed. "Iet people die without medicine." There re (ently appeared In your columns a paragraph from Dr. McLcod s sennon of last January in which he speaks of letting people die without medicine. Allow it to be said that the records of our boird of health show that during the,lcn j cars ending Dec. SI. lSW, In this little city of Scranton alone fifteen thousand people have passed away under some kind of medical treat ment. It must also be noted that In addition to medical treatment there was brought to save cue or another of these (if Icon thousand eases every phase of religion existing In our city. Plfteen thousand deaths In ten )ear registers human ability to save the sick In our city. Culture and skill have faithfully labored to the limit of human achievement; humanity will still properly welcome every advance towards health and longevity. Estimated by the coroner's cour teous attentions to Christian Science, the death rale of this fatality (fifteen thousand In ten jears) Is greater than the death rate under Chris tian Science treatment during the same lime In this city. Humanity wilt here Ond a profitable field for candid reflection. "Christian Science a menace to public health." Your editorial of May IB seems to In dlcato that jour impressions of Chilstlnn Science methods compel the conclusion that It Is a. standing menace to the public health. The fol lowing Is a written rule In force with the nii'.n- bershlp of the first Church of Christ Scientist of this city! "It Is recommended among the fam ilies of this church, where there Is any suspicion or evidence et n contagious disease, that the palient be Isolated, that all visitors be excluded and that the patient be not allowed to go m public until the occa.-ion for spreading the con laglon has disappeared." The above rule is of long standing and Is the natural outcome of our recognition of the human rights of the commun ity. Respectfully, David N. McKcc, C. S. B.

When I woko this morning I had a slight headacho but disregarded it, for I had bo much to do. I was at tho dressmaker's nt eleven, then at the milliner 8 to see what I could find for a, bonnet, nnd by that time my head ached so I was almost crazy and I called a cab nnd came- homo j nnd tho firet thing I did was to swallow a IHjuns ; then I attended to two or tliree matters that could not wait and tho neit time I thought of tho headacho it had gone, I believe if I had takon tho Tabule when I first got out of bed I should have had no head acho nt all.
