Farm Settlement.
Wo reprint clsovvhcro an Instructive
editorial from the Philadelphia Times,
in which' the cllstlnculshed editor of
that paper, Colonel McCluro, para
phrases tho proverbial advice of Gree
ley Into: ' Oo South, young m'an."
Colonel JlcClure took that advice him
self thirty-odd years ago and afterward
was one of the first to learn that tho
war had ended. JHs statement of the
case o' the new South ns an Inviting
home for tho surplus urban labor of
th North cannot bo Improved upon.
It Is true and It to timely, and the sug
gestion which ho makes merits tho
thoughtful consideration of every phil
anthropic citizen. The overcrowding
of our great cities by vast numbers of
wige-seekcrs who. In the very nature
of things, ran cither And no employ
ment nt all oi can find It only on terms
ultimately prejudicial to tho best In
terests of so lety, has become In these
dnis a problem of pressing gravity;
and it Is obvious that until the tide
shall jo verse Itself, carrjing this Idle
surplus back to tho farms and teaching
U to be content with tho modest but
ceitaln icwirdH of agilcultural toll, our
cntlte boclal order must ho character
ized by growing unrest.
It has been calculated that forty per
cent, of the adult mala inhabitants of
our pilrtlpal cities are plther without
employment or else are earning their
livelihood surrounded by circumstances
which, in any sensible view, should
cause them to welcome the wider free
dom of rural life. AVe do not know
how accurate this estimate Is: natur
ally In such (i direction absolute
accuracy Id Impossible. nut It
certainly Is title that the city
Is Inorlinately overcrowded and
that this overciow diner, by crush
ing r'ow n the weaker ones and stilling
and stunting child life, is tho one soli
cits sociological problem of the hour.
Hut It occuis to us that there are other
communities than the laigo cities which
might profitably try to place Its surplus
population on imlting southern farms.
If theie Is one fact clearer than another
throughout the coal regions It is that
the supply of mine labor Is far in ex
cess of the demand nnd in excess, more
ox er, of any piobable future demand.
In consequence, v.hll? upon the whole
the late of pay has been fairly well
maintained, tho large distribution of
woik has forced into real or compar
ative poverty many families well nble
to better Ihelr ondlon materially if
nffoided the oppoitunlty. It would bo
to tho adanUge of this surplus cle
ment no less than to the decided relief
of those remaining If a plan of farm
settlements could be can led Into effect
among the unemployed or the poorly
employed In the anthracite counties.

fir. Rett! on Recti.
A defense of Thomas U. Heed by Mr.
Heed himself Is the Interesting feature
of the Ulustiatfd American of this
week. Although tho speaker's cential
theme Is the Dlngley tariff bill and his
main purpose to state the reasons
why he bellees its enactment will
prove advantageous to the country, he
takes occasion, in pasMng, to answer
his ciltlcs, who just now appear to be
neither few nor quiet. Concerning his
refusal to name the house committees
until toward tho close of the session
Mr. Ttecd remarks:
"The house was there In extraordin
ary session for one purpose nnd for
one alone, nnd that to dispose of the
ono question which was really pending
before the people of the United States,
a question which we all knew had to
be settled and which we thought ought
to be settled epeedlly. Once in session,
we were at liberty to do whatever wo
deemed Imperative for tho good of tho
countiy, but we were confionted by
ono Blmple fact. Legislation
was Impossible. The two houses were
indtcally opposed. Nothing
could come of It except the stirring up
of the country with crudo pioposttlons,
which, as they could not become law,
would bo undertaken with no proper
sense of responsibility and discussed
solely on academic and political bases,
Wo therefore resisted all at
tempts to confuse tho people and held
tho Issue up before the whole com
munlty.with the result that the popular
will has not boon thwarted."
This salient and explicit explanation
will not sufllce to still factional critic
ism by those who consider it their
duty to object to everything done by
tho leaders of the opposite party; but
it will end tho discussion so far as tho
mass of tho people Is concerned. We
cannot dismiss this hasty note on tho
speaker's instructive paper without ap
pending his epigrammatic crystalliza
tion ot tho protective doctrine. It Is
a truth to bo,cnshrlned in tho memory.
He says: "Wo have learned at least
one lesson worth all tho suffering, and
that is that the great problem is not
prices, but tho employment of all our
people. Thero is but ono standaid of
- leal prosperity, and that Is tho whole
nation at work."
Wo cannot seo that it should in
nny wiso affect the main question
whether Chairman Sweeney of the
Vice and Immorality committee of
common council has or has not
a personal motive for seeking the
suppression of tho pool rooms, gambls
ing places and other unlawful resorts.
Tho fact that the tavV says these places
.should bo closed Is ample warrant for
closing them, and it is all tho warrant
which those Invested with authority
In this city should require. On with
tho crusade, therefore, and let tho band
play.
Secretory Athcrton, of tho Board of
Trade, Is right, as usual, It his con
tention that If tho United States gov
ernment intends to build n plant for
tho manufacture of Us armor plate,
Scranton Is tho proper site. Wo liava
little expectation that such a plant
will bo built; but It will do no harm to
have Scranton's ndvantnges put on
record In tho navy department, for
present edification no less than futuro
referenco.
Taking Tims by the ForclocK.
The publication of tho complete text
of Judge Jackson's temporary Injunc
tion lestrnlnlng Eugene V. Debs and
others from entering upon tho proper
ty of the Monangah Coal and Coko
company for the purpose of Inducing
the employes of tho company to quit
work, has caused a frank retraction of
most of the criticisms which had been
elicited by the earlier verrion of that
Injunction that had been widely pub
lished. Only one Journal of repute
that comes under our notice refuses to
modify Its first verdict of condemna
tion. The Springfield Republican con
tends that inasmuch ns Judge Jack
son's order was chiefly intended to
enforco tho common law against tres
pass It was not properly a duty of a
federal judge sitting In equity, and
thereforo nmounts to a pernicious mis
use of the power of Injunction.
This contention is ably disposed, of
by the Philadelphia Ledger which says:
"The company, under primary law,
might have ejected all trespassers from
Its propei ty by force, after notlco to
tho trespassers to withdraw, but this
nulght have led to a collision which
would have warranted tho governor
In calling out tho military to lestore
older. It Is Infinitely better to appeal
to tho courts to define the right ot
ussembly than to create a situation
perilous to tho public order. Tho su
premo court of tho United States de
clared In tho Debs habeas coipus case,
and with great force and apposlteness:
'Grant that any public nuisance may
be forcibly nbated, either at the in
stance of tho authorities or by any
individuals suffering private damages
therefrom, tho exlstenco of this light
of forcible abatement Is not Inconsist
ent with, nor does It destroy the right
of appeal In an orderly way to the
couits for a judicial determination and
an exercise of their powers by a writ
of Injunction and otherwise to accom
plish the same result." Compared with
the expulsion of trespassers from the
company's property by the exercise of
foice with Its Incidental public peril,
tho Issuance of an Injunction in tho
West Virginia case was an orderly,
prudent nnd humane method of settle
ment." This view of the matter may not sat
isfy Mr. Debs, for he makes a living
out of not being satislled, but it satis
fys common sense. It is a poor time to
lock the stable door after the horse has
been stolen.
Tho Popocrat may be defined these
days as a calamity howler out of a
job.
Immigration.
A numhsr of interesting figures ap
pear in the latest government bulletin
of statistics relating to Immigration,
and they gain in interest when we re
flect that it is a Scrantonlan who is
now supervising the enforcement of tho
immigration laws. For example, the
figures show that tho tide of immigra
tion Is nt tho lowest point since tho
ftdPiixl government assumed jurisdic
tion of the subject In 1SS2. This fact
is not especially due to increased strin
gency in the enforcement of restrictive
laws, ulthough It Is due to that in part.
The decline is chiefly to bo accounted
for on tho eround that four years of
Democratic administration made tho
United States so uninviting' in an in
dustrial enso ns to ceaso to attract
evn the downtiodden musses of conti
nental Europe. In this way, hut in this
way only, have our friends, the politi
cal enemy, been successful in solving
the irhmlgiatlcn problem.
The number of arrivals from all coun
tiles, during the last fiscal jear was
230,832, a decrease as compared with tha
previous year of 112,135. The lightest
Immigration of any previous year was
in 1S93, when the number from nil
countries was 273,118. The year of heav
iest immlgiatlon was tho first of the
polled beginning with 1882, when arri
vals numbered 78S,9!2. During tho en
tile peilod of federal supervision 7,432,
Olfl have entered the United States, or
an average per annum of almost 500,0u0.
In point of distribution the past
jeni's Immigration Is noteworthy, Italy
furnished the greatest number, 54,431,
a decrease of 8.G29 from tho previous
ytar. Since 18R2 thero has been a largo
und steady decrease in German immi
gration; In 1882 250,630 entered the
United States from that country, while
in 1E90 only 22,333 nnlved. It will bo
seen that tho number of German Immi
grants during the first year of govern
ment supervision exceeded the immi
gration from all countries during tho
last year. Immigration from Austria
Hungary decreased from 05,103 in 1S96
to 3.i,03l in lf97. The decrease from
other countries Is as follows: England,
19,492 In 189C to 9,974 in 1897; Sweden,
21,137 to 13,144; Norway, 8,155 to C,84?.
liven tho Irish have ceased to find as
much attraction In this country as in
former yoars. Last year tho number
of Iiish whe came over was 40,202. Thl3
year the total drops to 28,421, A curious
fact In regard to tho Immigration of tho
Irish la that the number of females
largely exceeds tho moles. In 1896 thero
wero 17,025 men and 22,037 women. This
year thero weie 11,549 males and 10,872
females. This Is so of few other nation
alities, Last year the total number
of males was 212,400; females, 130,801,
This year tha number of males was
135,107; females, 95,725.
If thero is any class of Immigrants
for whom Americans foci almost eufflc
lently sony to open the bars a trifle,
it Is made up ot those who flee to this
country to avoid persecution in their
own. America ns the refuse for the
victims of foreign tyranny is an idea
not yet eliminated from the Ameilcan
mind. It is Interesting, therefore, to
note that this year rhovvs an Increase,
us compared with last, of nearly twolvn
per cnt. in the Immigration from Ar?
menla; but a decrease ot nearly 40 per
cent, from Cuba nnd a drop in the In
flux ot Russian Jews from 45,137 to 22,
7S0. Tlut the lesson taught by theso vari
ous llgures Is that with reluming pros
perity In the United States thero will
come a laigo nnd serious revival of lm
mlgtntlon unless congress shall take
net Ion in tlmo to avert It. Wo hava
nmple welcome for all who can bring
to this country qualities and attain
ments calculated to add to its welfare;
but In common prudence the lino must
bo drawn on all who cannot.
It is to bo feared that tho Georgia
woman who In a lecture-before tho agri
cultural society of that state recom
mended "a thousand lynchlngs a week
if necessary to protect woman's dear
est possession from human bensts" has
not grasped tho fact that violence In
requital for assaults has utterly failed
to prevent other assaults. Tho human
who is already bestial cannot be Im
proved by being goaded until he bo
comes more bestial than before.
Those Democratic conventions in
Pennsylvania which declare openly
nnd above board for free riot and free
Bllver are entitled to credit for exhibit
ing tho courage of their convictions;
nnd tho advlca of tho party leaders
and party organs who want the Demo
cracy to gag itself on national issues
and conduct a state campaign on false
pretences merits tho contempt it is re
ceiving. The Philadelphia Times Is pretty
good Democratic authority, and It may
be worth while for its Scranton name
sake to preserve for reference the Phil
adelphia Journal's admission that "bad
as wero tho Republicans In tho last
lcglslatuie, the Democrats were no bet
ter." Paraphrasing Shakespeare, now is
tho rainy season of Spain's discontent
made Cuba's glorious summer by the
sword ot Gomez. Tho end is drawing
near.
ForUine Beckons
Toward the Soiifh
rrom tho Philadelphia Times.
Thero Is leaaenablo prospect that labor
will bo much moro generally employe!
during tho coming fall man at any tlmo
vilMn the last several jears, but tho
fact remains that when our industrial
channels shall lave been manned up to
the lino of generous prosperity, there
must bo many scores of thousands with
out permanent emplojment and thereby
unable to earn a comfortable livelihood
for themselves and their families. What
shall bo done with this surplus labor?
Thoro is but ono practical solution of tho
question. Tho young men of the country
havo left the farms to enter the mills,
shops and other skilled industries until
all tho Industrial circles cutsldo of tho
faims havo been crowded to an extent
that even in tho most prosperous times
thero cannot be employment for alU This
leaves but ono resource, nrtf that Is tho
farm. When a man can acquire land at
prices within his ability to pay for It by
his labor, he and his family are abso
lutely free from want, and most of them
not only can llvo well, but with caro and
economy can sao something each year.
o
Tho griat mistake of tho industrial
classes, especially during tho lust score of
jears, has been In seeking the West In
which to settle. In tho Improved sections
of tho West which arc accessible to
transportation, lands aro much higher
than they aro In tho great agricultural
regions of tho South, where thero is tho
most genial climate and reasonably ac
cessible markets for all tho surplus pro
ducts of tho farm. Thero is a wldo Held
In the South for all our surplus labor
that is willing to go to the farm for In
dependence and comfortable Jiving, and
many years ago we earnestly urged the
tldo of emigrants to turn from the West
to tho South as offering vastly tho best
opportunities for prosperity. There are
few of our peoplo to know that Ala
bama Is the richest state of the union.
Its wealth far surpusscs that of Califor
nia or Colorado with all their gold anJ
silver. It has as flno Wheat and corn
lands aa can bo found In Lancaster coun
ty; it has tho richest cotton belt of tho
South: it has 5,000 square miles of virgin
tlmbor, ana as rrany square miles ot al
most virgin cool; it has natural highways
Into the very heart of Its wealth, and
has ns genial a climate as can bo found
on tho continent. It is rapidly develop
Ing tho countless wealth of tho forost
and mines, and yet Its lands are cheap;
cheaper than in tho West and vastly
moro productive
o
Not alone In Alabama are theso great
advantages offered to our surplus labor.
In Virginia, North Carolina, Tcnncssco
and Georgia llko opportunities are offered
for tho small farmer who needs llttlo or
no capital beyond honest industry to nc
qulro a homo and to live in plenty from
his own labor. These states have been
lemlss In their duty to themselves by not
presenting thoroughly and aggressively
tho great advantages they havo to offer
to those who aro dependent upon thlr
labor for their livelihood, and who often
aro sufferers from enforced Idleness In
tho North. These Southern states with
their cheap and fertllo farms and their
gonial climate should draw a million of
tho suiplus population of the North to
enjoy their better advantages within the
next ear, and it can bo done If they
shall make intelligently organized and
systematic efforts to accomplish It.
Thero are homes for tho homeles and
bread for tho brcadless In tho south with
less and better requited labor than In any
other section of the country today, and
wo earnestly hopo that a successful move
ment may bo made to give homes, em
ployment nnd plenty to tho scores of
thousands of sturdy men In tho North
who havo been Buffering for want of la
bor and bread.
WILD SOCIAL STATISTICS.
rrom tho Pittsburg Dispatch.
A specimen of reckless assertion, used
to extend tho socialist doctrines that
somo pel sons nro preaching In connec
tion with tho miners' strike, was pre
sented in one ot the speeches at the
meeting night beforo last. This was the
statement that thero aro "two and a half
millions of babies working in tho fac
tories and flvo million men begging for u
chancn to slave." If that assertion were
true it would show a deplorable uUlo
of affairs. It Is therefore pertinent to
inquire what foundation thero i3 for it.
o
Tho United States census shows us that
tho proportion of children, both male and
female, from 8 to 15, which Is tho ago
at which child labor is possible, Is 23
per cent, of the total population. It also
shows that the'rural population, of which
there can bo practically no child labor
In tho factories Is 41,000,000. The urban
population of 18,000,000 has thereforo 6,000,
000 children of tho ago when child labor
Is possible. Tho assertion consequently
is that half of all tho children of that
age In tho cities, towns and villages are
working In factories. Everyono with his
ejes open knows that the assertion is
ridiculous. The fact Is that the Indus,
trial census of 1890 showed 120,000 opera
tives below 19 years of age, and there
Is no reason to suppose that tho propor
tion has been materially Increased,
Tho assertion. Joined with it, that there
are "flvo million men begging for a
chanco to slavo" Is of similar quality. It
is certain that none ot these flvo millions
are among the 10,000,000 engaged in agri
culture, for that Interest has been all
summer begging for men to come and
work. Nor can this ldlo mass be among
Ave millions engaged In professional, do
mestlo or personal service. It thereforo
follows that tho assertion la that of tho
8,TOO,000 cngaRed In trade and transpor
tation nnd manufacturing and mechanical
Industries In 1890, 6,000,000, or nearly 60 per
cent., aro now out of employment. Tho
assertion Is ptnlnly tho product of a
wild Imagination. Industrial statistics
show that tho largest number of men
thrown out of employment at the period
of greatest depression was 20 per cent.,
or a maximum of 1,000,000. In 1805 tho
totnl number of persons employed in
nearly 400 rcprcsontatlvo establishment
of Pennsylvania was only 7 per cent. Ices
than in 1832, or about hnlf a million on
the entire Industrial total. At present it
Is a wcll-ostabllshcd fact that more men
are employed than before tho panic.
o
Tho justice nnd desirability of securing
bolter wages for tho miners is bejond
dispute. But if the meetings in support
of that movement nre to bo used for tho
preaching of socialists doctrine, should
not tho statements made there bo gov
erned by a llttlo respect for tho facts?
IN DEFENSE OF NOISE.
From the Times-Herald.
A well-known English medical man
writing in a recent number of tho Lancet
enthusiastically takes up the defense of
noise. Crying children, ho Bays, should
not bo suppressed. Ciylng should bo re
strained within limits, "but there can bo
no doubt that Is primarily ph slologlcal,
not only favoring tho proper expansion
of tho lungs and accelerating the circu
lation, but deadening tho effects of pain
and relieving nervo tension." He quotes
a German scientist to prove that many
diseases or after life may "tako their
origin In tho practlco of mothers to stop
their Infants from screaming by soothing
them to sleep in their arms." Children
should bo allowed to chatter, sing and
shout, as' well as weep.
o
Nor does this doctor stop at children.
He advises adults to laugh, shout and
talk. He tells of the value to women of
"a good cry." "The profUBo flow of tears
lessens blood pressure within tho cran
ium; tho voluminous dlschargo of nervo
energy relieves nervo tension; the sob
bing movements of respiration Influence
In a very decided und doubtless beneficial
way the circulation, while the widespread
contraction of tho muscle system has
probably also a good effect." Nay, ho
gres further and Justifies swearing.
"Shouting and gesticulation which ac
company an outburst of passion act phy
siologically by relieving nerve tension;
swearing may l.ot bo without Its phy
siological Justification; passionate out
bursts are generally succeeded by a pe
riod of good behavior and, It may be. Im
proved health. Shouting favors tho de
velopment of the lungs nnd accelerates
tho circulation of blood and lymph."
He even contends that much "hollering"
Is conduclvo to longovlty? We havo no
doubt of this. On no other theory can we
account for tho persistent presence of
politicians and agitators. Mr. Bryan and
Mr, Debs will undoubtedly survive Mr, J.
Plerpont Morgan. They will talk away
all their own ills, whether they are able
to cure the body politic or not. But Is
not his writer discussing the question
rather from the position of tho practition
er than from that of the public health of
ficer? It Is easy to understand how the
health of tho individual howler might Im
prove at tho expense of tho community.
It is better for a small-pox patient to be
treated at home, but it is better for his
family and his neighbors that he be re
moved to a distant point. A public man
may live as. long as his speeches or
longer but what of the victims of his
oratory? In this caso wo ought to con
sider tho virtuous average. Some of us
must bo silent part of tho time, and the
amount of harm Inflicted on the nerves
through tho cars Is not offset by isolated
cases of "noise cure."
o
This physician is leading his patients
Into a trap. They may feel better for
"hollering," but they aro running head
foremost, into a violent death at tho
hands of tho undemonstratlve.Tho punish
ment of making too much nolso In this
world Is that one passes beforo his time
to the "silent majority."
RAILROADS OF THE WOULD.
From tho Buffalo Express.
Tho Railroad Gazette gives a very In
tel cstlng summary ot a compilation ot
facts and statistics regarding the rail
loads of tho world mado by tho Aichlv
fuer Elsenbahnvvcsen. published by tho
Prussian ministry of public works. Tho
German periodical is considered to have
excellent facilities for obtaining the most
reliable statistics upon the subject of rail
roads. Tho tables which it gives in its
latest presentation cover the year 1S9J at.d
show especially tho changes which havo
taken placo since 1S91. The extent o
which ralhoadlrg had gone In the year
1893 and the relattvo gains made by tho
great subKHvlslons or tho world are
shown In tho following table:
Miles-
1891.
Europe 155,281
Asia 26,890
Africa 8,169
America 229,722
Australia 13,SS3
1U.K3
2-',0.'3
6,52a
212,71
12,Si5
The world 433,953 295,143
Thus the world's railroads In 1895
reached the length of 433,9'j3 miles moro
then seventeen times the length of the
equator, and In tho four years since 1891
they had grown nearly one-tenth, by the
length of 38,810 miles. But this has been
a period notable for o. decline In tho con
struction in this country, which, in tho
period under consideration built only 11,
110 mlloa. Tho percentage of increase in
Europe was greater than in America,
which as not happened beforo in a long
time. America, however, has moro miles
of railroad than all tho rest ot tho world
together.
