CURRENT TOPICS TKAiMNfi of ciiimi;i:n. As a general thing the idea or making a special study of children in a scientific way, much as a scientist would observe a beetle or a baboon. seems rather cold-blooded to most people. Such investigations of childhood's tendencies and motives as Prof. Ashcroft has recently been making do not fall under this category. Formulating certain questions as to what children would do with money which they earned or found or which was given to them. Prof. Ashcroft obtained certain data which lead to conclusions quite favorable on the whole as to the charitable, generous and saving instincts of boys and girls. Of nearly 1.000 children questioned as to what they would do with a dollar If given thera to spend as they pleaded, G2 per cent expressed themselves la favor of btiying useful articles, 30 per cent nonuseful articles, 3 per cent would use it for benevolent purposes, and 5 per cent for buying presents for their friends. Other investigations showed that In a rchool where penny savings banks were established the latter were an undoubted encouragement to thrift. On the whole. Prof. Ashc-oft's investigations seem to give a complete refutation to the materialistic idea t' tt children are naturally savage. w : must be trained in the ways of civil: , it'on. iti:mi't on hai.ix i ;fk. The attempt upon the V.U: of the prince of Wales w.i.s ,:iite what might have been expecte !. bc.:au.;p, happily for the credit of humnn natur?, ninetynine out of oiir hundred of the persons who believe in murder as a political agency are so close to the line of idiocy that their attempts strike at that person who, of all others, is least responsible for the wrongs they allege as the motives of their acts. Every sane person knows that the prin.-.e of Wales has no more to do with the South African war than the man in the moon. He Is an absolute nullity In polities. Only a short time ago a crazy Italian "anarchist," as he chose to call himself, struck down the blameless empress of Austria. The assassinations of President Carnot. of Garfield, of Mayor Harrison, all show the same blind Imbecility. It is well known that the murder of Alexander of Russia removed the one person from whom radical political improvements in that country were to be expected, putting back political progress in the empire for twenty years. DETROIT Sl'ITllKSSKS LANGTRT. Mayor Maybury of Detroit, who witnessed "The Degenerates" at Toledo the other night, threatened to revoke the opera house franchise In -Detroit if the play was put on there, and so it was given in Windsor, Ont., a little Canadian town across the river from Detroit. The play, according to Detroit's mayor. Is based upon the theory that actions can be performed and Insinuations made on the stage which are not tolerated In decent society. The plot, he says. Is a continuous liason and the dialogue has reference only to these liasons. the language being unmistakable and pointing directly to the purpose of the plot. This arraignment is Just, and yet Mrs. Langtry's play drew good houses instead of protests when it was presented in Chicago recently. TAKIXIi TIIK Time." Prof. Goldwin Smith says that Queen Victoria's visit to I redan j should have beeu earlier in order to have its best effect. A good many politicians, also, are now saying Dewey's declaration ot i-i3 candidacy for the presidency comes too late. Shakespeare seems to have had a pretty firm grasp of the part opportunity plays in the affairs of men when he wrote the oft-quoted lines about taking the tide at its flood. NEW YORK AND A Lit ANT. Mayor Van Wyck of Greater New York says that his city is but a colony under state government, mied absolutely by a coterie at Albany. This may be hard upon Mr. Van Wyck, but the nation at large would rather see Manhattan ruled by the farmers of New York state than see the state controlled by corrupt politicians. STATUS OF THE WAR. is Bloemfontein to be a Ladysmlth on a larger scale? In the bewildering situation of Roberts' army and with .'ck of news as to active operations it i difficult to form an opinion as to what is taking place. One thing alone eems certain that tin; victorious march to Pretoria has been delayed for the best of reasons. TIIK TROCIILKSO.MK TÜRK. Tratest news from the front In the war between Turkey and Commisslon-f-r-Gencral Peck at Paris indicates that the latter is showing a bold exterior and may yet singe the grand vizier's beard if the latter persists in overshadowing Mr. Peck and the United States at the exposition. Like Diogenes In his tub, all Peck asks of the grand Turk is that he shall not stand between him end the sun. The request seems reasonable, and Americans will wish more power to the commissioner's elbow. Chicago Daily News. TIIK WAR TAXK.S. There feen.s to be a general consensu? of opinion throughout the country that the war taxes will be lifted beforp the present congress adjourns. Both parties in congress seem willing to give th desired relief and several bills have been Introduced. On April 17 the matter will come before the ways and means committee, when several heavily taxed interests will be heard. It Is therefore entirely probable that In many instances the taxes will be either freatly reduced or rt tnoted alt of ether.

HELPS THE AMERICAN FARMER Great Brltalu'a IZmburK on Sooth American Shipment. Cablegrams have reached Chicago to the effect that the British government has prohibited the importation of live cattle from South Africa. The reason for this embargo is that for some tima England has been troubled with that dread scourge of the farmer, foot and mouth disease. The prevalence of this disease has caused much apprehension to the authorities, who made a thorough investigation and found several cases in shipments from the Argentina republic. The embargo takes effect May 1, so as not to work any hardship to those who have shipments alloat on their way to England.
