of whiit was left of the local
mm hiulHlb' stilke It. a good
thins for eninton, since it
enables buslnecs to set back to a nc.nly
normal condition It is also a rchhI
thlr.R for the men, who have Mood the
train of idleness as lone as their ie
fouicen would allow, and who had
withing tn hnK foi in a piolonsation
ot the i-trlUe. Whether It will be a pood
thlnp toi the unnjianles depends In
time debtee upon the manner in which
they Mirfll heicaftet tieat the van
quished strikers.
A policy of filendly deposition and
ponetodlty Is. cleat ly called tor. The
men have been mdeily and well be
haved. They weie led out by ovei-.an-KUlne
proml-p. The iriitnrntcitliinK
made by the lr.ulci.-i of thl mi Ike the
general leadeis of the inachlnlMH' na
tional a.!-oclalion wlms-e lli-s-t step in
their ambitious warfare was n hi each
of faith with the employing inteiests
and who by this mi.-f.tep at the very
outset compiomied their cau-o and a?
pured its tallure weie not fullilled, but
the local Milker acted honestly and In
pood faith. They hae been manly
throughout. It will pay to tieat them
In the same manly spirit and to take
the UrM available npportunltj tn make
such advances In wapes and betterment
of conditions as the state of business
will warrant.
The mania for striking. thtoiiRh
which Peranton has about passed, had
to be bioken up. If unchecked. It
would have killed the city and brought
capital and labor alike to grief. It
was h cancer In the heau of local
business which had to be lanced to
save the patient. The lancing seems
severe. But In the end It will piove
salutary. The power for mischief of
demagogues and agitators Is tapldly
declining. Labor is learning to sec,
not the fancy pictures by which It
has. been beguiled and entiapped, but
the truth. Strikes ate not a panacea
Advancement Is not to be won through
Idleness and the turmoil of sttlfe. Per
sonal industry, thrift and merit nie
the enduring methods and for these
tests labor must qualify. Thoie Is no
magical short cut.
This lesson learned, labor will win
peacefully talr lucicase In pay and
deciease In exactions. And the very
bst thing that local eniplovers can
do to expedite the learning of this
lesson is not to act uppHhly toward
honest men who have been misled, hut
to treat them fairly, even liberally,
learn at fit t-t hand their conditions and
needs; and make of Industiy what It
ought to be, a co-operation of mutual
interests.
According to the New York Tribune,
a successtul physician of that tliy of
"much reputation and extensive prac.

siderable modesty, since his name is
withheld, thinks it possible that hay
fever may be cured or at least allevi
ated by ti eminent with Infusions of
ragweed and other plants, the pollen

dortorr. to h the cause of this peculiar
disease. We should like to hear fiom

Vive la Roosevelt t
NOW THAT there Is a dearth
of iejl news, the Ingenious
gentlemen whose duty It Is
to grind out Washington
rorpsspondence, whether theie is nny
thlnr tccivrjtf about or not. are already
falling Cback on that never tailing
reserve'iorHc, speculation about the
next campaign for president.
One of, them weaves a column of in
terestlnfc suimlse upon, the basis of
fact thl two days after his Inauguia
tlon as vice- president Colonel Itoosevelt
went to the white houso by appoint
ment and had a half hotii's confidential
talk with the president. No third paity
was present ut this Interview and
naturally neither of the principals has
divulged what was said, but the lin
agination of the correspondent rescues
the situation: TJoosevelt, ho Is sine, is
a candidate for the next presidential
nomination and his putpose In visiting
the preRdc'nt was to shape things so
as not pn Incur the administration'
quiet opposition,
We refer to this guess woik story
simply because It supplies a convenient
pretext ',or a few remarks about Iloose
velt'fl future. AVe notice that a number
of persons, here and theic, seem to be
of the opinion that Hosevelt, by virtue
of his having been scaled up In the vice
president?!', is now to all intents and
purposes a cfincludlng chapter. The
excellent recorcj made by Governor
Odelland the disposition of soirnvof the
organization leaders in New Yotk state
to put Odell forward' aa the state's can
didate for the presidential nomination
'ft'.
are died as Indicative that Roosevelt
has tun his course and become h past
tense. It Is also said that noocvelt'B
Independence of mind and stubbornness
of conviction disqualify him for the
necessaty favor of the party leaders;
In other woidi, he Is not pliant enough
to be acceptable to the "bosses."
It must be admitted that precedent
and circumstantial appearances arc un
favorable to his nomination three veais
hence. Hut on the other hand he has
one great advantage. He I known by
icputatlon to every Ameilcan and by
sight to u very laipe proportion of the
population, especially In the stales
whoso delegates In national con
ventions exercise usually the balance
of power. It was the width nml volume
of his peisnnal at qualntunce moie than
any thing el.se which nominated Major
McKlnley five yeais ngo. The so-called
bosses weie against him almost to a
man hut he had the eye and favor of
the people, and Matk Hanna's good
organization 6f these forces did the
iet. .lust ns .McKlnley then peisonlfl
ed the piotcdlve Iden, which had ie
turned to popularity after a douche
under "tariff icfnrm," lloosevelt, today,
pcrsonllles to an extent not nppioach
d by any contempoiaiy the whole Idea
of expansion as developed and given
plutuiesque foini by the war with
sjpaln. He tepresonts, ns It were, nn
Incarnation of the avciage Ideals of the
great masses ot his lountiymen In re
lation to personal manliness, valor, en-
tetpilse, freedom from petty predjudlcffl
and the type of slicing and substantial,
If not lullllant mind characterized
most for Its "horse sense." Th" people
admire him, like him and trut him,
and they overlook In him certnln In
formalities that In another they would
be likely to lesent.
Hence whether nominated or not In
1001, looovelt's name will be a power
and he Is a long way fiom needing the
political undertaker.

in the icpnits of our con

appreciation. The July Issue, Just to
hand. Is full of meat.
Notable among the Instructive
articles in it Is the icpoit of Consul
Seyfeit upon the nieas of Canadian
terrltniy which aie as yet piactlcally
unexploicd. Ace oi ding to the dliectot
of the Canadian geological survey, of
the 3,i;0,,.'."7 squaie miles i ompiehended
within the Hiltlsh Noi th Ameilcan
dominions l.lI.'iO.non, or moie than one
third, are uninhabited and unknown.
Excluding the inhospitable detached
Aictlc portions, there an- fi.M.noO
square miles of unknown teiiltory.
Beginning1 at the extreme noithwest
of the Dominion, the (list of these aiea
Is between the eastern boundaiy of,
Alaska, the Porcupine rlvei, and the.
Arctic: coast, about 0,500 squat c miles
In extent, or somewhat smaller than
Belgium, and lying entirely within the
Aictlc Chcle. The next is west of the
Lewes and Yukon llvets and extends
to the boundary of Alaska. Until last
year, 3J,000 square miles in this area
was unexploicd, but a pait has since
been tiaveled. A third area of 57,000
square miles nearly twice ns laiRe as
Scotland lies betwen the Lewes., Pelly,
and SUiklue livers. Between the Pelly
and Mackenzie livers Is another laige
tract of 100,000 squaie miles, or about
double the size of England. It includes
neaily 60o miles of the main Hoc Icy
Mountain lange. An unexploied aiea
of 50,000 squaie miles Is found between
Great Bear Lake and the Arctic coast,
being neaily all to the north of the
Arctic Circle.
Nearly as large as Portugal M an
other tiact between Gieat Bear lake,
the Markenzle river, Hnd the western
part of tireat Slave lake, In all ."5.000
squaie miles. Lying between Stlklne
and Lalid rivers to the noith and tho
Skeen.i .end Peace ilveis to the smith
Is an area of 81,000 bquaie miles, which,
except for a iccent visit by a Held patty
Is quite unexploied. Of the S5.000 squari)
miles southeast of Athabasca lake, little
Is known, except that it has been cio.
sed by a field party en loute to Km t
Churchill East of the Coppermine
river nnd west of BathurM Inlet lies
7,500 miles of unexploied land, which
may he coiupaied to half the sle of
Switzeiland. Eastwaid fiom this, lying
between the Arctic coast and Black's
ilver, Is an aiea of 31,000 fcquaie miles,
or about equal to Ireland Much laiger
than Gieat Biitaln nnd lieland, and
embracing 178,000 squaie miles, Is the
region bounded by Black's ilver, Gieat
Slave lake, Athabasca lake, Hutihet
and Belndeer lakes, Chui chill ilver,
and the west coast of Hudson Bay.
This country includes tho barren
grounds of the continent.
On the south coast ot Hudson Hay,
between the Severn and Attuwaplshkat
rlvcis, Is an aiea I'.'.OOO squaie mllca
in extent, or linger than Nova Scotia;
and lying between Tiout lake. Lac
Seul, nnd the Albany ilver Is another
15,000 square miles of unexplored land.
South and east of James bay and neai
er to huge ceuteis of population than
any other unexploied region Is a tiact
or 35,000 square miles, which may be
compaied In size to Poitugal. The
most easteily aiea Is tho greatest of
all. It compiUcs almost the entile In
tel lor of the Labiador peninsula or
Northwest Tenltoiy, in all 2S0.C00
square miles, or moie than twite as
much ns Great Britain and It eland.
In s.omo of these areas there have
been fugitive attempts at explor
at Ion. on n small scale, but
broadly speaking they are yet
virgin land. The Dominion gov
ernment Is awnkenliiK to the neces
sity of developing thec tetrllprlHl re
serves. Ve noted recentty the series of
Clergue entcrpilses nt tho Soo, which
Includca n tallioad projected clear
tin ouch to Hudson bay, and explained
how Mr. CleiRtio's plans contemplate
a wholesale colonization on the rich
faun lands lying adjacent to the light
of way. Consult Seyfert says the In
dications nie that within the next live
yeais at least 5,000 miles of new rail
road will be completed throughout the
Dominion, most of which will tun
thiough and open up now unexploicd
wildernesses.

An Gxcellent Idea.
Mr AivrHrn num. a pub-llc-splilted
citizen of Syd
ney, N. Y, has been In
strumental In organizing
an association for the purpose of se
curing popular subscriptions in small
amounts, ptofeiably from school chil
dren, the funds to be used In put chas
ing a loving cup for piesentntlon to
Admit nt Cervera as a token of Amer
ican appteelation for tho pood ofUoes
which that gallant Spanish ofllccr ex
tended to Lieutenant Hohson nnd crew
nt Santiago after the sinking of tho
McriiniHc.
It Is unfortunate that controversy
has arisen legardlnrr tho merits of
some of tho American naval officers
who 'participated In the Santiago sea
campaign; but It Is title, we believe,
that no American disputes or falls to
recognize with sentiments of kindly
legnrd the gallantry nnd considerate
peisonal good will of the commander-in-chief
of the opposing forces. The
demeanor of Admiial Cervera, during
and since the campaign which ended
so disastrously for the country he
served, lias been unexceptionable and
has attr.n ted and deseived the icspect
of the civilized woild. It pioves the
truth of tho assertion that manliness
Is best exemplified- In seasons of mis
fortune and adveislty.
While the public opinion of the
American people has been at all times
Just to the Spanish admiial, the op
portunity has not jet come for the
manifestation of Its kindly regard In
a fonnti! manner. Now, however, that
peace and pacific relations have been
restored, there would be both propri
ety and graciouness In such a testi
monial as Mr. Bird pioposcs. Its con
summation, moreover, would have
value In inducing a better understand
ing between vlctois and vanquished
In the Spaiilsh-Aiuciicau war.

A SUGGESTION TO MR. SHAFFER
From Ihe Philadelphia Times
Y foim of ctganiiatlon can flourish or leng
endure in this country that does not recegnl.e
the piinriple of peisnnal liberty, which must be
the foundatiin of eier) demociacv. Tlie oigani
ration of workmen for the better protection of
their own rlgtts it rf the greatest value, so
long at its Jurl-dlctlon is confined to hos who
adhere to it of their fire will. When it becomes
an instrument of coercion, withholding fiom an
indiiat rlout man the libeity of his own labor,
and denilng anv rights of the iltuen but thor
confened by it own membmhip, the gmd
seiue of the American pjople neier will sutain
It. When Mr binder threatens tn cairy the steel
strike Into politics, he ought to cct thlt thought
clearly into his mind.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
from the Chicago Ilecordllcrsld,
All the pedagogical theorizing of the sxpert
thinkers at a teachers' convention cannot shike
Ihe logic of the contention made by Dr. (1,
Manley Hall at Detroit that "svomtn should b
educated for wifehood and motherhood." In ls'0
no less than 13,3.2,7t, of the adult female popu.
lallon of the United States were either married,
widowed or dlioiced, Thlt means that the nur
tied state Is the destiny of fully SO per cent, of
the glrlt who reach matutlty, and ought to set
tle the question of what should be the continu
ing objective in the education of women. Many
educators vigorously dltaonted from President
Hall on the proposition that modem higher edu
cation unlit women for wifehood and mother
hood, but en the miln contention that educa
tion should fit them for these, the highest func
tions of the perfect woman, no man In hi right
mind can seriously challenge. If he did the
voice of .Valine, speaking through the countless
ages of human history, would rebuke him,
The controiersy naturally retolset Itself into a
question of xhat kind of education best fits a.
nonun to fulfill the function for which Saturn
designed her. President Hall contend that thi
Ideal education of woman for wifehood and
motherhood requires a ayiaratlon of the sexes
and a different course '3 training and study
from that which It dcslfned for men. He fur
ther contends that such an education will not
unfit women for those railings In which thotn
whn are not fortunate enough to beioms wises
and mothert might engage tn support them
selves. In fact, it Is his belief that training to
ward these end, which is based upon the physi
cal nature and endowments of women, would
better fit them for self-support.
ev
il would seem tn require nothing more than a
superficial knowledge of the sexes lo impress one
wit?) the fact that Ihe tniths enunciated by
President Hall are self evident. They stand upon
the Immovable, unvarying laws of Nature. Thn
ludustiial tendencies of the ace cannot com
plelely unse womin. Nature will stilt persist
In making her a wnmsn To a tatlonal mini
the differentiation In the sexet. mule by Natme,
would seem to c ill for a dlfleientlatlon in educa
tion and training To say that thousand of
.voting women are doomed not tn wear the
crown ot wifehood and maternity it not a ialH
answer to Piesldcnt Hall's argument. That pres
ent Industrial conditions tend tn divert woman's
power and energies tn gilnlul occupations it nn
reason why woman thould not be trained for the
high calling of womanhood.
o
If the educational Ideas cf President Hall had
been put into epeiation a hundred jeir ago
who can nv that there would not be "ten (ami
lie and homes established wheie there Is now
one?

A little story ha come tn me of Queen Vic
toria, which was not mentioned during her
lit writes Kdisard Kvrrett Hale In Lend a Hand
Record It hears the stamp of truth, as It was
told by her ounge-.t win, Prime Leopold,
when he waj studs ing at Oxford. A Hanard
piofessor wa spending the gieater rart of a
j ear there, and became Intimately acquainted
with Prince Leopold. When palling upon him
to say "good hj" Prince Leopold said: "I want
to tell you a story to remember mc bj "
"I was a little bo.i, pla.ilng on Ihe floor o'
the room where tnv mother wat sitting. 'Loid
Johnny.' at wc aflectionately called him (Lord
John Russell), came in the room where my
mother wst and handed her a piper, which she
read carefully, and then Innded it hick tn him
with out a word. He w nt out and later re
turned with the paper. She read It through
again, and showed tome di-pleasurr, rcmarkipgi
'I do not like It, and I shall neirr sign a paper
that would In any way load tn war with the
I'niled Slate.'
"I looked up from mr plav, as thlt wts
the st time I received any Intimation that my
mother wat ant thing more than anv other wo
man. The paper was still further rhanged A
wrek or two later my mother told me that my
brother, the Prince of" Wales, had visited the
1'nlted States the jear before He had been sn
kindly received that she considered that It had
etlablithed a bond of amity between the Pnited
Malet and Kngland, and that she vsoultT neier

A Cure for Distress.
little .tjeir-old girl who wat tired of plav
and wat rc!le.s because she had nothing tn
do, pulled all the budt from a fuchsia that
promised tn become very beautiful in a few
dat. Her mother chided her for It.
"But, minima, I didn't do It," piotesled the
child.
"Oh, es, von djd I know jou did. There
was nobody else here who lould have done It.
Besides, I see the green stains on our fin
gers "
The child regarded her fingers rather seriously.
The eildeme was too convincing.
"ir, immma," she said, "I did pull off the
burl,."
Then the mother spoke of the distress she
felt that her little girl had told her an untruth.
She quite touched the child' heart and brought
tears to her rjrs. Th mother alo was crjlng
before she got through.
"Oh my little girl," she said, "jou haie at
wa.n been so truthful. I can haidly iralise
that jou haie told me a falsehood. It will dis
tress me w-heneier I think of it "
"Then, mamma," said the sjmpjthlzing little
philosopher, putting her arms around her
mother's neck, "If jou Jet" stop finkln' about it
the distress will go away. An" I won't fink
about it citerl"

A little, girl from an fast F.nd slum was in
ilted witli others lo a charity dinner glien
at a gieat house in Ihe West Knd of London.
In the course of the meal the little maiden
startled her hostrss by propounding the query;
"Poea jour husband drink!"
"Why. no," replied the astonished lady of
the house.
After a moment's pause the miniature querist
proceeded with the equally bewildering ques
tions; "How much coal dn jour hum? What i
jour husband's salar) ? Has ho any bid
habits?"
Bv this time the presiding genius of tha
table felt called upon to atk ber humble
gue.t vi hit made her ask such strange ques
tions "Well," was the innocent reply, "mother
told me to behave like a lady, and when
ladles call at our house they alniss a.lc

EDUCATIONAf CONTEST
This action is taken for the purpose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $1,000 to have purchased the first special
reward, as the winning contestant had only secured for The
Tribune less than $400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect tne contestants that are working so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perfectly
fair, and it wishes it distinctly understood that the rewards of
fered arc in no sense for sale, but will positively go to the con
testants who secure the largest number of points, which will be
credited only lor new and legitimate subscribers.
The Special Rewards:
Scholarship in Lafayette College $1,000
Scholarship in Swarthmore College 1,000
Scholarship in Stroudsburg Normal School 675
