China Is said to be showing evidence of awakening, but there are several yowera which hope that It will not atretch Its limbs too violently before sit ting up. In his latest epistle Mark Twain Is hiding behind the noui de plume of "Satan." As soon ns a man npproaehes Old age he wants to pose as "u devil of a fellow." Any democrat who can see n demo cratic awakening in the success of the democratic candidate for mayor In Lin coln must be equipped with tnlero telescoplc eyes. If PollRh revolutionists maintain their boycott on vodka they will prove that despite ItusHlnn stories they have little In common with anarchists particularly the American variety. Mr. Rockefeller is surely between two tires. If he keeps his money he will be aoeused of being miserly and if he gives It away he will be charged with trying to buy forgiveness. The severest commentary upon Kditor Bryan and his associates at Lincoln Is the fact that former Candidate HergH feel called upon to start another reform weekly to accomplish his objects. After the duko of Orleans lius cap tured the north pole he may turn wistful eyea again at the tbrons of his fathers, lu the meanwhile, however, the 1'remh uuin need not fenr for the republic. Dr. .Toslnh Strong says the receipt of the Itockefeller donation is purely an ethical question, but until ethics will maintain missionaries the cold cash teems to have the best of the argument. The mat exploit of the mayor-elect of Chicago is to run down to New York to tell the people what he Is going io do 'when ho goes buck home. Kut here a elaewhere action will speak louder thru words.

The American people are always emo tional, and sometimes hysterical. Just now popular sentiment Is wrought up to a high pitch over the Itockefeller Inci dent, nninely, the protest of Or. Wash ington (Jladdcn against the acceptance of the $KK,(sN( donation made by John Itockefeller to the Congregational Itoard of Missions. The contention of Or. Gladden and other protesting members of his church Is that the acceptance of Rockefeller's money would be a violation of the high est ethical principles and an net directly contrary to the teachings and example of .Testis Christ. In 'support of their position they cite the history of the Standard Oil trust, through whose pirati cal methods Itockefeller hits become the richest man In nil America. If not In all the world. They Insist that money thus acquired has been tainted and cannot lx handled by any religious body with out contaminating It. Very naturally millions of American people have applauded Or. Chidden and his associates without giving the sul Ject or the principle involved serious thought. Hut there are always two nides to every controversy. Tho other side of the Itockefeller incident has been ably presented by The Outlook In Its last Issue by pointing out that the advo cates of the rejection of Rockefeller's gift lay upon the trustees of benevolent Institutions n burden for which ithey are not fitted nnd It Is n notice to every donor that his donation may subject him to a public criticism and private investigation of his whole life and char acter contrary to the precepts and ex ample of Christ, who, when a woman of the town anointed His feet with precious and expensive ointments com mended the gift of hoMove without mak ing any Inquiry Into the question whether her money hail been acquired by sinful methods. It continues: Znccheus had acquired his fortune bv onrrupdon and oppression. How do we know? Because no man could ncqulre money ns n tax gnlhcrer under the Ronum empire In any other way, but Christ did not reliuko him when he offered to give half of his fortune to the poor. He did not even recall the evil of his past life to htln. The way to Invite men out of courses of wrong-doing Is to welcome right action whatever it may he. The way to drive them back Is to refuse to commend their present virtue because of their past vices. Receiving Mr. Rockefeller's money does, not hmior the donor, but if it did that would he no reason for rejecting It. The good any man does deserves honor, what ever evil he may have done or may do ii Kit In. The evil a man docs deserves re buke, whatever good ho may have done or may do again. The reception of Mr. Rocke feller's money by the American board con stitutes not the slightest reason why the churches and the clergy should bo les resolute In rebuking the business methods which ate charged against Mr. Rockefeller. The notion that receiving money should allenco the recipient has absolutely nothing to Justify It. There Is certainly a great deal of sound logic In this view, which would apply not only to Rockefeller, but to nil multi-millionaires who might be disposed to leave part of their fortune for benevo lent, philanthropic or educational pur poses. 'Boards of trustees are not ex pected to net as a judicial tribunal nnd pass Judgment - not merely on Isolated cases, but on the totality of the Indi vidual's character. In support of this view Is quoted the following language attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson: "There Is so much of good In the worst of us, and so much of bud In the best of us, that it Is not wise for any of us to sit In judgment on the rest of us." It is, moreover, wholly Impracticable to trace all money to its source and de termine how far it has been acquired by honest and how far by dishonest methods. south to greater eeal for the promotion of its material welfare. A INDUSTRIAL PARLIAMENT. There Is to be held In 'Washington city next month what Is termed a "southern industrial parliament," composed of del egates appointed by the governors of the southern states, mayors of cities, bonrds of trade, banks, railroad presi dents, planters and manufacturers. The object Is to formulate plnns for the de velopment of the material resources of the south. The call for such a meeting and the general response Indicate the active Interest which the southern peo ple are taking In the quest lou of develop ing the resources of that section. This is well, for unquestionably there Is a great future for the south If its people will Improve their opportunities and ap ply themselves with intelligence, energy and industry to the work of develop ment. The south has made progress. The facts in regard to the growth of Its In dustries are highly gratifying. That it has not gone forward, however,, us rapidly as it should have done is ad mitted, therefore the movemeut which aims at securing more vigorous efforts for advancing that section. What the south nppenrs to most need at present is Immigration, especially that immigra tion which will Increase the supply of labor. Almost everywhere In the south this want Is felt and how to meet it la u difficult question. An effort ha been made to induce immigrants to go to the southern stages, but it has met with lit tle success and It cauuot be confidently uutlcluatetl that further efforts In this direction will be more successful. Still they should he made and doubtless the 'parliament" will recommend this and perhaps devise a plan that will prove effective. The south should earnestly eudoavor, to extend the markets for Its products, particularly In the southern countries. The Panama cnnal, when completed, will be a great help in tills respect to that section, but Its people should not wait for this before making an effort to secure a larger share of the markets of South and Central America. They ahouUl begin now to seek those markets. The south will continue to make pro gress. Its 'abundant resources assure this. But the silvaiu-e will lie rapid or slow according to the energy aod In dustry of Its people. The meeting of practical men Interested In soiii.-ern de velopment may result lu arouslus ths BREAKING ALL THE VuVMA.SD.Vt: S 1 S We have bej-n told In holy writ that when Moses beheld the children of Israel prostrating themselves before the golden cnlf, while he was desi-ending Mt. -Sinai carrying the ten command- tneuts, he was so enraged that he threw the sacred tablets down the mountain and broke all the commandments at once. LIInC Moses of old. our lawmakers, Inw-ejcpouiiders nnd executives nsstime to be a privileged class who can break all the commandments at once. The constitution which they nre all sworn to obey or Interpret to the best of their ability has no binding Torce with them. Whenever the constitutional Jacket tits too tightly they slash It. rip It wide open, or discard It altogether. Tints the con stitution of Nebraska has become a tattered garment. Ignored and disowned by public officials and sneered at ns a dead letter. To what this general disregard of the state constitution .will lead must be obvious to every thinking person. To anybody conversant with the meaning of the word it spells anarchy, nnd the suppression of official anarchy will have to be the watchword in the very first campaign lo be fought out In Nebraska. F -4 RAILRUAP COURT- President Hndley of Yale is a convert to the proposition for the creation of a special railroad court, lie has given most careful study lo the problem of railroad regulation and few men tire so well qualified to discuss the question intelligently nnd impartially. In a re cent contribution to the consideration of the subject. President Iladley expresses the opinion that the creation of a. special railroad court seems n more promising means of dealing with the difficulties than an increase of the power of the Interstate Commerce commission, lie points out that there Is enough that, is distinctive in railroad cases and the precedents connected with them to war rant the creation of a body of Judges whose learning Is to be siM'clally de voted to this braii.li of the law. Or. Iladley suggests that, a certain umount of advance might he made by turning the Interstate commission into n court, providing that each member, as his term expired, should be replaced by n man of judicial experience, but he believes It .would be n better plan to establish n new court, co-ordinate In au thority with the federal circuit courts of appeal, lo which, after brief prelimi nary hearing In the lower court, all rail road cases, from whatever district orig inating, could be referred, lie remarks that such a procedure is of course some what of mi Innovation In our American judicial system, the court of claims, which furnishes the nearest apparent parallel, really standing on quite a dif ferent footing, "but looking nt the mat ter from a layman's point of view, it does not seem (is though any of the obstacles were Insuperable, and If such n court could once be established the homogeneity and positive force in our federal railroad law would be greatly Increased." President Iladley observes that with such a court to exercise the judicial functions now assumed by the Interstate commission, the character of that laxly would naturally be changed. "It should consist, not of lawyers, but of railroad experts, and should be charged with the duty of furnishing technical assistance to the new court In determin ing obscure nnd complex matters of fact." He thinks such a technical com mission should Include three men who were trained In the traffic department of the railroad service, one In the operat ing department and one In the financial department. It is of no small Importance that the proposition for the creation of a railroad court should have secured such able nnd Influential support. That a railroad court will ultimately he created Is not to be doubted and the attainment of this will be greatly aided hy the support of such men ft the president of Yulo university. CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE. WW Canada separate from England and become nn independent nation? It Is fhe opinion of Representative Mc Cleary of Minnesota, who is a native of the Dominion, that In the uenr fu ture Canada will cut loose from the mother country and that the separation will be effected without any attempt on the part of England to prevent It. He Is quoted ns tuiylng that England has been preparing to give up Canada for some years past, oue of the surest Indi cations of this being her gradual with drawal of troops from this continent, lie said that while formerly Great Bri tain had soldiers in all her possessions In this hemisphere, she has at present very few and soon will have none. "The bonds between Canada nnd England are loosening rapidly nil almost the entire drift of sentiment in the Dominion I for a separate national existence." Mr. McCleury said that almost any day may bring the news that Canada has Informed Great Britain that she has grown up and would like to keep house for herself. Undoubtedly there Is very strong sentiment among Canadians favorable to Independence and It Is probably grow ing, but It Is likely that a majority of the people are still in favor of remain ing under British sovereignty and pro tection, perhaps feeling that with so powerful a nelghlsir as the Pulled States Canada would be less secure as nn Inde pendent nation than she Is nt present. Moreover, the Dominion now hns prac tical iuiheieiidence. She manages her own Internal affairs, regulates her tariff system tu suit her own Interests and Is unrestricted by the Imperial government except In the matter of making treaties. This restriction has been a source of complaint, but It Is really not a very serion matter and has perhaps kept Canada out of trouble. It Is undoubt edly a fact that if the Dominion were to take steps to separate from England and establish an Independent govern ment there would be no opposition from the mother country. Canada has always Imm'ii a source of expense to England, despite the fact that she has given pref erence in trade mntters to Grent Brltnln. nnd she cannot be depended upon to supisirt or aid the lnqerinl government In nn emergency. She scut seme sol diers to the Boer war, but the number was far short of what she could have furnished, the appeal In this ease to Canadian patriotism being far less ef fective than was expected. Canada has beeu making good progress Industrially and commercially during the last eight or ten years. Site is still advancing in these respects and gaining in population. It Is therefore quite natural that her people should begin to feel self-reliance and to believe them selves capable of occupying a plrni1 mining the Independent nations of the world. It Is easy to understand that the position of a colony may be growing distasteful to them. An Independent Canada may not be realized In the pres ent generation, but there can be no doubt that It will conic In time. WHERE THE PUBLICS INTEREST LIES. Time was, and not very far back either, when a proposed Increase of $lo,HHi,tNio in the capitalization of a railroad company would have startled the country, but t:ow the announcement of President Ilarrlinan of the I'nlntt Pa citie that a special meeting of stockhold ers is to be held at Salt Lake City May "i to authorize an increase of .Imi,!mki, ihni in - the preferred capital stock of the Pnion Pacific railroad scarcely creates n ripple of excitement anywhere. And when anybody ventures to ask whut Is to be done Willi the proceeds of the $HH,- mm),ixn stock issue he is almost sure to be rebuked for his Impertinence, since it does not concern anybody except pos sibly owners of and more cspeciall I 'poll mature reflection It strikes us that, the proposed Increase in the enp itnli.ntion of the Pnion Pacilic by $Hmi,- (hh),(hm does concern many people out side of the stockholders, since capitaliza tion of railroads discharging the func tions of arteries of commerce constitutes the basis for transportation charges nnd transportation charges are simply one form of taxational) which the producers of the country tributary to it railway nre subjected, willing or unwilling. For that reason the American people, acting through their government, should have something to say whenever It Is pro posed to expand the capitalization of a public highway, toward the maintenance of which they are compelled to contribute. Pnion Pacltiii securities, hilly of preferred stock. ONE CREDITABLE ACHIEVEMENT. Before the record of the recent Ne braska legislature Is made up the lower house of that body Is entitled to credit for one notable achievement namely, for having completed lis work without calling into requisition the services of a sifting committee. The forestalling of the bill sifters was effected only by getting down to sys tematic work In the early weeks of the session nnd keeping at it day after day until the accumulations of proposed hudslution were all gradually acted upon with the seal of approval or disapproval. The forestalling of the bill sifters also unquestionably avoided much of the odium which the house has heretofore had to bear when doing business under the direction of a sifting committee. The sifting committee has, as a rule, furnished more of the legislative scan dals than any other one source. Incidentally it may be said that the decision of the house to get along with out a sifting committee receivership was also reflected In the senate, where, although a sifting commit tee was appointed, almost no work devolved upon It, so that the re sponsibility for killing or advancing pending bills was for the most part assumed tnd shouldered by the whole membership of the body. What has beetf-done once can be done ngaln and the example of the late legis lature In the matter of doing without bill sifting ought to be conclusive on other legislatures that are to follow. One unexpected effect 6f the position taken by the senate on the arbitration treaties Is to stimulate agitation in the east for the electiou of United States senators hy direct vote of the people. Hitherto the demand for direct elections of senutors has come chiefly from tho western and central states, while the east and south have beeu apparently In different to this imperative reform. If the rejection of the arbitration treaties brings enough states into Hue eventually to force the submission of an amend ment to the constitution or the calling of a constitutional convention to sub mit the proposed amendment it will be worth more than would have been the ratification of those treaties. In an Interview to which she was subjected while In Paris Queen Alex andra Is made to define the duties of queens to he "to do all in their power to prepare their children for the ex alted positions they will be called upon to occupy and to comfort the uttlleted and unhappy." Accepting this state ment. It embodies no duly that do " not devolve upon every mother nor thnt dis tinguishes royalty above the classes that claim no special prerogatives. Every mother who does her full duty by her children and contributes her share to ward comforting the a filleted and un happy makes herself a queen in her own circle of humanity. Mayor Elect Dunne or Chicago will now have an excellent opportunity to show how much better he can handle a strike than nny of his prinleecssors. and handling strike cindlilous Is the real test or ability lu the management of Chicago ffMlrs Do not forget i hat the Missouri leg islature enacted a maximum freight lute law governing rnllroad traffic In that state. While it will probably le taken Into the courts, if the railroads pursue their usual tactics with such legisla tion, yet should the Missouri rate law make good, it will furnish preciilent which some other stntes will not be slow to follow. Either party to the present struggle In the far east which desires to Involve another power In the war can probably nccomplish its object by stnrting a naval engagement within three miles of British territory, for the China squadron Is on guard anil British naval officers hav" at times shown a disposition to act In case of emergency and then ask for Instructions.

Prose Poem on Sprlna hy ( harlea Emory Smith. Philadelphia Press. What with the politicians and tho typhoid germs and the cerebro-splnal meningitis bogie and the grade crossings to mention only crying public Ills the city man Is aoro beset these days, and he is 111 danger of forgetting that spring has come. Out In the country the green grass Is growing. The crocuses are nodding their dainty heads with a bewitching "all's well." Foolish, fat worms creep upward to the sunlight and make a feast for the jubilant robins that run gaily about fields and lawn, or tilt tunefully upon the branches. Pussy willows by tho brnokside have put on their spring millinery, and underfoot anemones nnd blood root modestly bloom, while the shy violet Is beginning to co quette with the sunshine. Spring, with all its exultant newness, riots on every hand. The very air is redol ent with the year's great awakening. By a thousand voices the season Invites men out of doors, where they can forget bricks and cement and traffic's din and all the enres of the city, and partake of nature's great recreation. Man is never so thoroughly man aa when ho returns close to mother earth, forget ting the urtltlclalltles of man-made city life for a time. The stirring that moves all nature to an awakening surges through his breast, quickening long forgotten Impulses, bringing back, the memories of childhood's simple days, and making him feel his kinship with earth and sky and all his fellow creation. As the world appears at its best In springtime, so what in noblest in man la evolved when, in God's great out-of-doors, ha feels himself a part of the Joyous miracle of spring. .
