Even Wall Street Sends Up a) Cry of Alarm Over Present Tendencies. From the Wall Street Journal, We referred last week to a series of recent occurances in this country, as Indicating an unusual condition of public thought, in that, ina time of grent material prosperity, consider- ible discontent ia manifested with the extating order of things — It-is,in truth, a very curious fact that a note of revolt is the keynote at this time, especially in this country. The curious thing about {¢ is that the swelling chorus of discontent ia coin- cident with the great commerclal prosperity in all directions. In times past, periods of commer- celal and financial crisis, followed by periods of industrial depreeston, have usually given birth to periods of religious revival and political and social reform. This is natural, be- cause In adversity, men usually ex- perience « generally stiffening of moral fibre which reflects itself in these ways. We have, however, no commercial or financial crisis, and we are 80 free from depression that, in point of fact, the tide of industry generally must be said to be at the flood, yet there are to be noted, not merely signs of a general demand for | al and soclal reforms of aj less material character, but also signs of a very definite revival ¢ », ' politic sus feeling, manifesting itself | in the usual way by out-croppings here and there more or less sensa- tional in character. What explana- tion ia there ,of the occurande of these things at the hour of flood tide, so far as material prosperity is con- cerned? The history of philosophic thought records a series of oscillations be- tween what we may call the pole of pure materialism and the pole of| pure morality. There has been no evolution about it. The oscillations reflect the play of forces which were in operation upon man’s mind from the first, and which will remain at For use in ense sudden sickness—for healing A Quick Cure For Colic and Bowel Troubles.

Wall street itself is reeking with the spirits of revolt, It is not the passion o envy that is the mainspring. It is jealously of individual liberty that is the dominant emotion. The revolt that is iu progress may possibly lead to some excesses in the matter of political action, but this can very readily be corrected later on, The great thing that we hav to be thankful for is that the people at large have made {t clear that they value some things more than matert- al prosperity, and that they con- sider liberty too high a price to pay for industrial « fic ency. The House a Figurehead. The New York Sun facetiously pro- poses amendment to the United States constitution so as to keep that document up to date. It re- ecrdsthe routine of a bill “ordered” by the President, iu {ts course through the Cabinet and the House, saying: ‘‘All {is purely formal, so far as the Houselsconcerned. The Pres: {dent orders, the House obeys. “It will save time and money to withdraw from the House a power which it has. The President should send his bills directly to the Senate. “If its worth while to bother with such a piece of old paper, the consti- tution might be amended to jibe somewhat with realty. Since the House of Representatives chooses to be a House of Dummies, why not ree- ognize constitutionally its voluntary divorce from its constitutional fune- tions?” “Is would not be worth while to abolish it.” The Sun thinks members of the body could be used to deliver obitu- ary orations and make campaign speeches, The Herald says: “The American people owe a debt of gratitude to the Senate for defeating President Roose- velt’s attempt to become dictator.” Reviewing the Recent confliét over arbitration the Herald continues: “It is begging the question to cite Mr. Roosevelt’s good intentions and work uponitto the end of time. When the pendalam has swung about ao far toward the pole of material- jem, It invariably stops and moves bagk. In the matter of religious thought, for instance, it swung vigorously in that direction some thirty years ago under the influence of Daswinism, using the work in the popular sence. In the last ten years, the pendulem has obviously been losing its velocity, as biologists of the latter day have destroyed most of what remained of Darwinism, and ase result we have seen clear evi- dences of a swing back toward weligious mysticism, and a clearer view of morality. In the business world, we have seen the accumula- tion of wealth in the past ten years ata rate more rapid, in a manner more sensational, and to an extent far greater than at any time in the tory of thie,or any other country. ‘We have seen the powef of wealth demonstrated in @ fashion more direct than ever before and we have geen public opinion of all shades, swift to recognize the danger, and awift to organize against It. Anyone who supposes that the - sentiment patriotism as evidence that there is no danger to the republic in his usurpation of the Senate’s preroga- tives. Ceasar was a patriot animat- ed with good intentions, but he de- stroyed the Roman republic. Crom- well was a well-intended patriot, but the commonwealth under him became protectorate. Napoleon was a atriot but he metamorphosed the rench Republic into an empire. “Each of these men was ambitious for power, so {s Mr. Roosevelt; each was self confident, so is Mr. Roose- velt; each was dictatorial and impa- tient of restraint, so is Mr. Roose- velt; each had imperlalistic aspira- ign has we ‘ 0 genius apart, wherein does Mr. Roosevelt differ from these great prototypes? He has just received ffom the Senate a sharp reminder that he is not a dictator, but is the first magistrate of the United States a far more magnificent and noble title?. He needed the lesson badly.” CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the" Bignature of wens | GLOWING REPORTS OF CANAL DENIED. Commissioners EnthusiasticOver Affairs on Isthmus, but For- mer Rough Rider Disputes. } New York, Feb 27—Prof. William |H. Burr and William Barelay Par sons of the Ponama canal commie- | stom, who have been on the isthmus six w els, have returned here As to accepting fos for attending meetings of directors of the Panama railroad Mr. Parsone sald: “These fves are all right. We got them. All corporations pay them. Ten dollars is handed each director after exch meeting, The fees amount to $150 or $200 a year. The canal work is now being carried onin such a way, they sald, that either a lock or a sea level canal ean be constructed. From the trend of ‘CODY HAS CLAIM AGAINST MRS. GOULD. | Lost $50,000 Backing Theatri- cal Enterprise. Denver, Colo., Feb. 22.—Colonel Cody who undertook to back Miss Katherine Clemmons, now Mrs. How- ard Gould, in «a theatrical venture that failed, wants his money back, at least all that he spent in excess of $10,000, and he says the ill-starred attempt to star Miss Clemmons cost him $60,000. He contracted to lose $10,000 in the venture, if necessary; hence his claim against Mrs. Gould, is for $50,000. He has placed the claim with a New York lawyer, who is confering with Howard Gould's counsel, “I donot believe is will come to anit.” suid Colonel Cody at the St. James Hotel today, “for [think that Mr. Gould will arrange an amicable vettlement. The written contract is epecific, and Iam sure he will admit Prof. Burr's comments ft was gath- ed that the building of a sea level canal would be recommended. “There are 4000 men at work, ne- groes, Jamacta negroes and natives of Panama and nearby South Amer- jean countries,” eald Prof. Burr. They perform good, effective work. They don’t accomplish as mnch as American laborers, but they do as much as American laborers could do in that climate. The latter could not stand that climate as the negro ean.” A lot of machinery abandoned by the French and not counted among the nssots of the old company, was found stored in 20 large warehouses, The mach‘nery was in a good state of preservation. Altogether between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in ma- chinery was abandoned. **We return more satisfied with the general conditions of the enterprise and believe that the work will be fin- ished in less time than generally sup- posed,” the commisioners declared. TELLS DIFFERENT STORY. Henry Bull Cook, ex-Rovgh Rider and soldier of fortune who went to the canal zone armed with a letter from President Roosevelt's secretary returned on the same ship with Prof. and Mr. Parsons. Hetellsadifferent story from them. Cooke thinks the canal will be fin- ished in a “few thousand years.” As general feeling of discontent prevail throughout the isthmus, the ex- trooper says, due to the climate, low and unequal rates of wages, poor food, the placing of negroes and Lat- in speaking foremen over white men and the lack of system. He relates that when Secretary Taft was there things along the line were especially boomed for his bene- fit. “Everything is run on credit, he: says. Vayday is a mystery and un- certainty, meaning that the laborer has to wait at least a week for his pay. “There is a good opening In the canal zone for a brewery, also for a crematory and a lunatic asylum. It is a standing joke on the isthmus that the commission is going to build the canal with stenographers and red tape.” MURDERED ENTIRE FAMILY. Adolph Weber Convicted of a Horrible Crime. Auburn, Cal., Feb, 25.—Adolph Weber was yesterday convicted of murder in the first degree for the kill- ing of his mother. The jury was out fifteen hours. Weber, who is only 20 years old, was tried for the murder of his moth- er, he is aleo accused of killing his father, sister and brother, and the burning oi the family residence. The tragedy occurred November 10, 1904 at Auburn, the county seat of Placer county. On that day, soon after Adolph left his home, 1t was destroy- ed by fire, and the other four mem- bers of the family perished. An ex- amination of the bodies taken from the ruins of the house proved that the mother, father and daughter had been shot while the dead boy had been struck on the head with some blunt instrument. , Adolph arrived at the fire before it was extinguished and threw a bundle into the flames found to contain his bloodstained. trousers which, a few minutes before, he had’ exchanged for a new pair. This and other evi- dence led to his arrest. He is the sole heir to the estate which is quite "Wapscse the justice of the claim, Had Miss Clemmons not made a wealthy mar- riage, [ never would havecalled upon her for the loss. But now she is amply able to make it good. “Had she not married at that time I would have backed her for more money, and it is quite possible that in another play more adapted to her undoubted talents, we would have recouped our losses. But she did merry and I hold the bag, as the boys say.” Colonel Cody starred Miss Clem- mons in England in 1892 iu Sardous “Theodora,” “The Lady of Venice,” and “Miss Doscott,”’ and in the same plays in America during the season of 1893 94. There was a shortage of $60,000 Colonel Cody’s contract with Miss Clemmons was that he would stand to lose $10,000—above that amount she was to bear the loss, if any. After the close of the disastrous American season, Miss Clemmons went to England to get a new play. On the steamer going over she mot Howard Gould That was the be- ginning of the end of her stage ca- reer. She did not get a play, butshe got a millionaire husband. Knife Battle Ends Fatally. Circleville, O., Feb. 26.—In a ter- rible duel with butcher knives in the warehOuse of the Hosler Packing Co., today, Henry Wibbe, aged 30, stab- bed John Price in the heart, killing him instantly. In the first part of the fight Price cut Wibbe across the | chin, almost severing it, and cut off the bigger part of his nose. Blinded with blood. Wibbe then plunged his knife through Price’s heart.
