The Governor's Cure for Strikes.
BY KATl the most Inlorestlnt?
portion of the governor'
mci-snge Is his Husgestlon
of a remedy for Btrikes. It
embodies a practical step toward defi
nite results In arbitration.
Ilrleily stated, vhen(a strike occurs
In uny mine, mill, factory or shop In
volving n sulllclent number of men to
constitute a menace to public peace
and order, the governor asks to be
clothed with nuthorlty to order troops
to the scene for the protection of men
desiring to work, If within three day3
the strikers do not appoint three ar
bitrators. Then, If within the three
following days the operators of the In
dustry shall not also designate three
arbitrators the mine or factory In
spector, using the police power of the
Htato, shall suspend all operation In
the, plant until the operator is willing
to name arbitrators. "When each par
ty to tho controversy shall liava
named an equal number of arbitrators
the fact shall be brought to the at
tention or the president judge of the
county In which the strike Is located
nntl he shall forthwith name one or
three nddltlonal arbitrators, to be men
disinterested nnd Impartial, the court
of arbitration as thus constituted to
proceed at onto to take testimony,
Miramon peihons and papers and ar
rive at a decision within ten days,
hiieli decision to be binding and final.
This plan of procedure represents a
policy somewhere between the Inef
ficient schemes of voluntary arbitra
tion common In many states, and the
demand for sweeping compulsion fre
quentty heard in public discussion. It
is compulsory In effect but not in let
ter. Appointment of arbitrators Is
voluntary on both sides, but If either
refuses to submit Its case to orderly
adjudication, it lays Itself liable to
such temporary regulation by police
power as may be considered necessary
to tho picscrvatlon of public order, i
The governor's suggestion Is meant
to Invite public discussion and amend
ment. It deserves study.
Theio Is one consolation for the poor
boy these days. He Is in no danger
of being kidnapped.
The Street Cleaning Nuisance.
BY THU way, who is respon
sible for the stale of affairs
that allows the street sweep
ers of Seranton to fill the
eyes, ears nnd nostrils of pass
ing jiedestilniiH with germ-infected
dust and pulverized manure almost
dally? What ure tho rules? What arc
tho specification governing the al
leged street cleaning of this city of tho
second class? Who knows? It heems
about time that some one made nn ef
fort to legulatc this nuisance, which Is
a disgrace to a city of any class. In
certain municipalities of this gieat
commonwealth street cleaning con
tracts contain specifications which In
clude the following:
Whenever (he svecpln,; nf Micols would cans:
the dnt to ilsv they shall flitt he fcfninl.ti.il, mul
the epilnkllng shall lie bo done that the dust will
not liso while sweeping nor be tin mil into mud.
In the Interest of good health and
common decency why cannot the street
cleaning operations of the electric city
bo also governed by regulations of this
charncter? The city Is paying for
water, nnd the application of a few
barrels to tho block even from the
mouth of a gallon garden sprinkler
would nt times prove a blessing. Uy
nil means let the efforts of the hickory
brush brigade be tempered with mois
ture. It Is not necessary that they
should be constantly obscured In clouds
of "diist In order to demonstrate that
their salaries are being earned. Abate
the nuisance!
Many esteemed contemporaries are
disposed to regard the Danish West In
dies In the light of a territorial gold
brick.
Peace In the Philippines.
THERE Is no question that the
Elooin now spreading over
the nntl-lmperlnllst camp
Is to be perpetual so far as
affairs In the Philippines are con
cerned. The latest Intelligence from
a tellable correspondent Is to the ef
fect that tho, now year finds the
Philippines nearer n state of peace
than at any time heretofore. Central
Luzon Is practically subdued, tho
loads aie opn, and the Inhabitants
prosperous. Favorable reports come
from other sections also. Great num
bers of Insurgents are being taken
prisoners whoso "wholesale retention
Is tho severest kind of n blow to tho
'Jiivurgciit cause, eliminating hero wor
'Vlhlp ud' preventing lo-enllstmcnr."
Tho capturo of so many prisoners Is
"undoubtedly duo to the spreading in
fluence of the elections and General
MacArthur'n proclamation," and "un
doubtedly tho bottom of the Insurrec
tion Is dropping out." Finally, what
could be more disheartening to n san
guine anti-Imperialist than this gen
eral view of the situation:
"Tho residents, experiencing relief
from Insurgent terrorism nnd reaping
the benefits of American Institutions,
uro now refusing to make their cus
tomary contributions to tho rebels.
The Manila leaders and backers of
the Insurrection are beginning to feel
the ,1ustlco and realize th honest In
tentions of the Philippine commission,
nnd arc deserting the sinking cause.
The new federal party Is enrolling the
brainiest and most loyal Filipinos, In
cluding a largo number of ex-clvil of
ficials and ex-mllltary ofllcers. The
prospects are bright for a healthy
combination of old factions working
In behalf of peace."
From all Indications the bill impos
ing tnx on oleomargarine of a magni
tude calculated to kill the business,
has a thorny path before It In the
senate. .This measure passed the
house with comparatlvo little dlfTlcul
ty, but Its opponents are finding the
limited membership of the senate
much more accessible to argument
against It. As the remainder of the
session, nftcr the hollduy recess, will
bo crowded with important appropria
tion bills, skilful tactics may avail
to keep the olco act from coming to
a vote, and thus tho determination of
tho matter will be postponed for an
other year. The stubborn fight that
In being made is pretty good cvldenco
that the industry of palming off this
product as real butter has attained
highly profitable proportions.
Revivoi of Dreyfus Excitement.
I
N SPITK of the justifiable dread
with which Frnnce regards a re
turn of the Dreyfus excitement,
pays the Chicago ltecord, it ap
pears eminently probable that the af
fair will be reopened and that there
will be another distressing wrangle,
with all the political perils which such
a condition involves. Henri Rochefort
having declared through the Paris
journal IIntranslgeant that Dreyfus
sent the German emperor a document
stolen from the German embassy In
Paris, the captain lifts up his voice to
demand another Inquiry. At the same
time Zola comes forward to repeat his
own charges against the anti-Dreyfus
officials, nnd the squabbling over the
question of amnesty has brought to
light some unpleasant details of the
bargaining by which the government
sought to give Dreyfus his freedom
nnd yet make a peaceful compromise
with his persecutors.
It Is but natural that the unfortu
nate man who underwent a living
death at Devil's Isle should want all
stlgnm taken from his name that ho
should wish to bo exonerated as well
ns liberated. AVhcre tho peace of tho
nation Is so much nt stake, however,
It Is n question whether Captain Drey
fus would not be pursuing n more pa
triotic course by completing his sacri
fice and waiting for time to reveal
the truth and supply final redress. of
his wrongs. The present ministry In
various recent crises has shown itself
to bo unexpectedly strong, but It has
tho grayest difficulties to contend
with. In the event of a reopening of
the Dreyfus affair, with the outburst
of passion which it inevitably must
Invoke among the military and aristo
cratic factions of French political life,
there Is no telling what might happen.
It Is difficult for tin outsider to appre
ciate tho strength of the feeling which
stirs Frenchmen In this affair, nnd
which when aroused may Imperil the
ministry and even the republic.
A revival of the Dreyfus contiover
sy at the present time might provoke
a crisis not limited by any means to
the internal affairs of France. Were
the military elements In French poll
tics to secure tho upper hand, the re
straint which Loubet has exercised
over French chauvinism would bo
gone. With 'men llko General Mercler
who recently declared in public that
ho had a perfect plan for Invading
Kngland dictating as to the national
policies, the relations between Kng
land and Franco would assume at once
a much more threatening character.
On the whole, the return of the Drey
fus excitement Is an event which the
world ennnot contemplate with com
placency. Colonel Mills thinks that It would
be Impossible to stop hazing at West
Point. In view of the colonel's atti
tude tipon tho subject during the
llooz Investigation, it is probable that
the public will nlso agree that hazing
will continue so long as Colonel Mills
is at the head of the Institution.
The Palisades Saved.
I
T IS AT LAST announced that
the famous Pallrades of the
Hudson nro to be saved from
tho army of thrifty vandals that
has been at the work of demolition for
the past five or elx years. Although
Irreparable injury lias already be?n
done to a landscape that tliouhl havo
been preserved for nil time, much of
the former grandeur still remains.
An arrangement has been effected by
the special commissioners of New
York and New Jersey with all partlei
concerned to stop blasting till next
June, and never io resume It If ths
plan devised by the commissioners can
bo carried out. The New York Even
ing Post Is nuthorlty for the state
ment that the 85,000 appropriated by
the New Jersey legislature was de
voted to the expenses of surveys, tltlo
searches, nnd the like, while tho $10,.
000 from tho state treasury of Now
York has been paid down to bind a
bargain by which all the quarry prop
ertles will be cold for J132.C00. The
Evening Post further states that cer
tain men In New York city have
agreed to privately contribute $122,500,
the balance of the purchase pi Ice of
theso properties, provided the legis
latures of New York and New Jersey
will this winter appropriate enough
money to enable the joint commission
to acquire all the other property on
which It has optlqns .between Fort Leo
nnd Huyler's Landing, and a sufficient
Bum to construct a driveway at the
base of the Palisades. It Is probable
that a magnificent Interstate park will
bo the result of the long-deforred con
cert of action on this matter.
It Is not altogether creditable to tho
public spirit of tho metropolis that tho
devastation of the Palisades went on
unchecked year after year. After the
blasting had continued for many
months an appeal was made to con
gress to buy the Palisades for a na
tional park. Of course, It failed. And
then began a period of dilly-dallying,
during which time dynamite tore out
huge masses of the majestic natural
wall. Finally the legislatures of Nw
York and New Jersey were Induced to
appoint a joint commission to see what
could be done to put an end to tho
blasting. That step, which should
have been taken long ago, cecms to
have been successful. The sad spec
tacle of a Pallsadeless Hudson Is not
likely to be witnessed.
The neighbor of the man whose son
has been picsented with a toy rifle now
rejoices that Christmas comes but once
a year.
Naval Reserve Bill.
T
H13 INTRODUCTION Into
congress of a bill to provide
for tho establishment of a
naval reserve, under na
tional auspices, seems to bo a step in
tho right direction. The bill has been
drafted In accordance with plans pte
pared by a board consisting of Admiral
Dewey, Hear Admiral Crownlnshleld
and Captain Evans. Theso men arc
thoroughly qualified to understand tho
needs of tiro navy, nnd their recom
mendations should liavo tho hlirhest
weight. It Is obvious that tho growth
of our navy nnd the acquisition of our
great island territory must create a
demand for a largely Increased num
ber of experienced sailors. While the
state naval reserves have done good
work, yet their numbers are far from
sufficient, nnd defects have existed
which would be obviated by at least a
limited national control.
There Is far more technical experi
ence required to make a thoroughly
efficient sailor than a soldier, and this
Is a sufficient reason why special gov
ernment aid should be extended to the
naval reserve. With such control there
Is likely to be un Improvement in tho
really effective membership of the te
serve and a greater exclusion from It
of the class which has only sought It
for uocial reasons.

the new centuiy would dawn upon new condi
