armceosenges The Lirvald Review, GRAND RAPIDS - The employe of the district who em- bezzled $34.50 will doubtless be punish- ed for his offense. The men who pre- pare the technical loop-holes for our laws didn’t provide for the $34.50 fel- lows. ‘There was none of the “law's delay” fn the case of John P. Thoma, who broke into a-store in Clayport, Ind., last week. The crime was committed early in the morning. The criminal had had his trial and been sentenced before 10 o’clock in the forenoon and before 7 in the evening he had begun a series of years within the walls of the Jeffersonville reformatory. Would that legal justice could oftener be dispensed with-such alacrity. While trying to squeeze the life out of a little independent oil concern in Boston, which commands the sym- pathy of the entire public.not in mon- opolistic chains, Mr. Rockefeller sends another check for $200,000 :to the presi- dent of Chicago university for the cause of education. Mr. Rockefeller is a confusing sort of man. It is of interest in this connection, that a Brooklyn stockbroker testified the other day in a civil action before a Buffalo surrogate that during the past ten years Standard il stock had brought regular and special dividends aggregating 32 per cemt annually. The cities of the country are going more and more deeply into debt for improvement and to a tess and less ex- tent apparently are disposed to pay as they go. They are being run on the method of the improvident railway cor- poration which will never devote cur- rent earnings to improvements that can in anywise be deemed measurably permanent and charged to capital ac- count. Meantime it is to be noted that the market for these securities is large to the point almost of being insatiable. They are preferred by investors to the securities of almost any private eor- poration, however well buttressed fin- ancially it may be. Massachusetts, like a good many other states, is attempting to minimize the competition of convict labor with free labor. effect limiting the number of convicts who should be employed in certain specified industries, and as a result over one-third of the inmates of the prisons are now idle. The prison au- thorities are confronted with the prob- lem of finding something for these men to do, in view of the established fact that absolute idleness in prisons breeds insanity. No solution of the question has yet been found. The trouble has been encountered in many states, and unless the convicts are set to work im- proving the public roads—a task which everyone else shirks—it is difficult to see what can be done to find work for the idlers. The problem is one which will give the Massachusetts authorities trouble unless they are more resource- ful than the officials of other common- wealths have been. A statistician in the Pall Mall Ga- zette has reckoned in round numbers the movement of the debts of the chief eighteen nations for the twenty years from 1876 to 1896, with some interest- ing and significant results. In the former year the chief debts, in order of magnitude, were those of France, $4,500,000,000; Great Britain, $3,900,- 000,000; the United States, $2,400,000,- 000; Italy, $1,950,000,000; ,Austria~-Hun- gary, $1,910,000,000; Spain, $1,875,000,- 000; Russia $1,700,000,000, and Ger- many, $1,000,000,000. In twenty years all except six of the eighteen—to-wit., Great Britain, the United States, Spain, Germany, India and Mexico— increased their debts. In 1896 the or- der was considerably changed. France still stood easily first, with a debt twice as big as any other's. Great Britain stood second, elosely pressed by Austria-Hungary. Italy was fourth, Russia fifth and Spain sixth. The United States dropped from third to seventh, and the Australasian colonies rose from sixteenth to eighth, while Germany fell from eighth to sixteenth. Mexico fell from fifteenth to eigh- teenth, and Canada rose from eigh- teenth to seventeenth. However some other nations, not in the eighteen of 1876, have come forward and now have larger debts than several of the latter. Thus the Argentine Republic and Japan should now be ranked sev- enteenth and eighteenth respectively, and Canada and Mexico pushed on to the nineteenth and twentieth places. The greatest actual increase has been that of France, amounting to no less than $1,900,000,000. Austria-~Hun- gary comes next, with $1,120,000,000; Russia third, with $800,000,000; and Italy fifth, with $620,000,000. These heavy items indicate what a burden the military system is to these nations. Yet, by a strange bit of irony, the na- ttion chiefly responsible for militarism, Germany, has decreased her debt by no less than $575,000,000. A sensible negro preacher in the south has been advising members of his race to stick to the farm. Good advice. The negro is a born farmer and agriculture suits him better than any otber occupation. Herein is one field at jeast in which he has an equal chance with the white man and in which there can be no possible discrim- {nations against him. In business, in the professions, in the industrial world the color of his skin is often against him and he must fight race prejudice. But this is not true of the farm.

T., Feb. 6. — Warrants have been issued for seventy-three members of the mob that burned the two Seminoles near Maud, and a large force of deputy United States marshals will be sent into Pottawattomie county to make the arrests within the next forty-eight hours.
