The Only Durable Basis.
Rl'MOHS aie multiplying that
theie Is to be an early set
tlement of the steel strike.
If the settlement should bo
rlRhteous and peimanent. confirmation
of these reports would be most wel
come. The strike Is n tremendous tax
upon the resources of the country and
a source of much anxiety to those en
trusted with the preservation of public
order.
Hut It Is more Important by far that
this strike should bo settled righteously
than that It should be settled piomptly.
One question raised by'lt and by most
of the strikes of the past few months,
must be anrwered unmistakably before
American Industry can get back upon
an American basis. The attempt of
the labor unions to draw a dead line
around employment which they have
relinquished and to make membership
In them an indispensable condition of
earning a livelihood Is unlawful and
tyrannous, and If It should succeed we
should have no longer a government of
equal rights, but an autoctacy.
The right of men to combine for mu
tual benefit Is as sacred among labor
ing men as among capitalists. No one
nowadays disputes It, though theie Is
fair ground to question the wisdom of
a good many of tho combinations now
In evidence, ot both capital and labor.
The right of men, singly or In a body,
to quit work, provided in so doing they
violate no contiact, Is equally Indis
putable, although the history of strikes
teaches that few of them constitute
profitable Investments for the stiikers.
But men on strike have no right to
interfere with men who prefer to work,
nor with their families, nor with the
merchants who sell goods to them.
The moment the strikers or persons In
sympathy with them overstep the line
of non-Interference and by any means
encroach upon the liberty of tho work
ers, that moment a fundamental princi
ple of the American government Is vio
lated and the love of Justice and fair
play which Is Inherent In the Ameri
can people will refuse to tolerate such
Injustice or give the sustaining power
of public apptoval to the cause In which
U Is manifested. .
It is not a Justification of picketing.
hoycottlng, epithet-hut ling or any othpr
form of labor union Intimidation to
argue that combinations of capital, on
the other hand, make unlawful use of
their power. Two wionqs do not make
a right. "Government by Injunction"
Is as open to th manufacturer or
trader who can establish that his busi
ness is unlawfully assailed by a capi
tal trust as It Is to the non-union
worklngman or his tepresentatlve who
can establish that his liberty as an
Ameiiian citizen is thieatened by a
labor trust. Demagogues may howl
that the laws of our land aie made es
pecially for the rich and intluentlal, but
nun of Intelligence know In their own
hearts that such is not the ttuth, and
never was and neer will be.
The people, In good time, will deal
with law-breaking combines of capital,
though not by matching lawlessness
against lawlessness nor by enthionlng
counter combines headed by agitators.
In the meantime, thc will sympathise
with the peaceful self-impiovement
labor and evet lastingly frown upon
reditlon.
Mayor Dlack, of McKeesport. says
that )f any non-union steel worker tries
to eain a living in that town he will
arrest him. It Is not difficult to fore
tea Black's finish.

Vacation Schools.
OME comments by the Boston
Transcript upon the wisdom
of vacation schools a wisdom
that It is to bo hoped will
yet come into more general apprecia
tion fit so well the local need that we
hasten to adopt them for our own.
"The vacation school Idea," that
paper says, "Is no longer In the ten
tative; stare. Its usefulness Is so'
flrmli' established that It Is coming to
be considered an Indispensable annex
to th.; public school system. Its nd
vantidres, It Is to be noted, affect tho
tvhoiaa community. The vacation
school not only keeps children busy
and hnppy during the hours that would
otherwise bo passed In deleterious
play In the broiling streets, but It also
lelleves the overburdened mothets
and raises tho standard of home life.
The wise purpose of the movement is
to protct children from evil associa
tions and enforced Idleness; to minim
ize the opportunities for evil Influ
ences, and to turn the tide of super
fluous youthful energy Into useful
channels. In achieving this, the vaca
tlon school hai been a luminous sue
cpsk, The most lawlers and disre
spectful have been transformed
through work made so fascinating that
1' la more attractive than play. At-
v3
tpnflon might nlfo hr cnllrel to tho
fAct that the vacation ochool offors a
solution to tho problem of the chnrltv
uorkorn who nto lioitlnnltiR to roallr.fi
that thry must tutn fhonmelvcK with
renewed enotffy to the provontlve side
of their work through better rtlucn
tlonnl forces in tho chiurtor formation
of children. In training for occupa
tional forces In tho charnctorformatlon
and the value and dignity of labor,
the vacation neliool payfi for Itself a
thousand fold, The combination ot
manual and mental training, of nature
study, of occasional outdoor excur
sions and the afternoons spent upon
play mounds Is Irresistible."'
Last year In Uoston, 21 school vards
wore opened for three hours each day,
and more than 4,000 children took part
In the educational play piovlded In the
vacation school plan. V'or thrtt plan
does not contemplate hot-weather
cramming, but wholesome diversion so
otdercd as also to convey Instruction
of both mind and morals. The cost
of this work was $1,000, or $1 apiece for
each attendant. Tho Uoston school
board contributed $3,000. nml ptlwito
benevolence did the test.

The falling off In the value
ot the year's Imports occuned chicily
In raw silk, hides nnd skins, wool nnd
India rubber; and In most of these the
reduced value Is partially due to re
duction of price rather than quantity.
Raw silk shows a reduction fioni $11,
319.672 In moo to $2n,3.".:t,777 In 11)01, a
decrease In value of ,'ii.l per cent.;
while the number of pounds shows a
decrease fiom 11,239,310 pounds In 1900
to ,13!),617 pounds In 1901, a decrease
of only 1S.S per cent. In India rubber,
while the Impoi ts of 19fll are only
$2!.4.".:tS3 it gainst $31.:i76.f7 In 1900. the
quantity imported In 1901 is 53,273"29
pounds, against 19.377,13,s pounds In
1900, the value showing a decrease of
0.3 per cent., while the quantity ac
tually Increased 11.9 pr cent. In
wool, tho Importations dcci cased from
153,923153 pounds, valued at $20,260,936
In 1900, to 101,5S3,n03 pounds, alucd at
$12,.r.29,8Rl In 1901.
The falling otf In tho value of tho
j ear's exports Is limited to manufac
tures nnd Is more apparent than real.
If the exports of manufactutes to Ha
waii and Potto Rico could be Included,
the figures of 1901 would differ little
fiom those ot 1900. In two important
articles of manufacture, however, the
exports of 1901 fall below those of 1900.
These ate copper nnd cotton cloths.
The total exports of copper In 1901
were 252.769.32S pounds, against 333,
340,725 pounds In 1900, valued at $41,
260,376 in 1901, against $55,772,166 In
1900; this dectease being chiefly due
to a reduction In the demand for cop
per In Kuiope, the principal foreign
market for American copper. In cot
ton cloths, the t eduction Is entirely
due to the temporary suspension of
expoits to China, to which the expot
tatlons of cotton cloths fell from 1S2,
0'3.6n yards, valued at $S,7.S3,131 In
1C00, to S3,S59,102 yards valued at $1,

A decrease of $10,000,000 in exports to
Japan Is accounted for by an overpur
chase by the Japanese last year of our
cotton; nnd of $5,000,000 to China, by
the Boxer tioubles. Our expoits to Rus
sia fell olf a little less than a million
dollars. The principal Inci cases In ex
ports are: To the United Kingdom, $97,
000,000; British North America. $10,000.
000; British Africa, $5 000,000; Geimany,
$3,721,363; Mexico, $1,500,389; Chill, $.',
007,161; Peru, $1,461,459; Porto Rico. $2,
610,025, and tho Philippines, $1,386,615.
By far the largest Increase was to tho
United Kingdom, to which the exports
were $631,266,263 In 1901, against $533.
819,545 In 1900, the total lnciease being
nearly $100,000,000, of which over $30,
000,000 wasl n cotton, about $35,000,000
In breadstuffs and about $10,000,000 In
provisions. The total exports to British
tcrrltoiy were valued at $819,551,392, or
65,8 per cent, of the total exports of the
year.
Tho total Impoi ts of the year were
$27,268,16S less than those ot 1900 nnd
$22,213,180 let's than those of 1891, ten
years earlier. The total exports weie
$93,272,475 In excess of those of J900, and
$603,24,747 In exoees of those of isoi,
ten years earlier. The excess nr ex
ports over imports was $120,540,613
greater than that of 1900 and $625,517,927
greater than that of 1891.
Blr Henry Johnson has Just returned
to London from the Congo districts of
South Africa with particulars about the
ape-lllse race of men lately dlscovertd'
there. They have a dirty yellow skin,
eyes close together, low and wrinkled
foreheads, bushy eyebrows, woolly hair,
long arms, fchort and knock-kneed legs
and pigeon-toes nnd the other native
will have nothing to do with them.
They doubtless represent the remnants
of a black socialistic and ftec tlot patty
ot generations agonc.
Senator Minn has been wanting to be
struck with n certain sort of lightning
for Borne time. It was the senatorial
sort. He got It from Senator Quay, but
not the kind he expected. Now ho has
had another stroke, which Is still un
welcome, as It nearly demolished his
own house, Instead of the house of his
enemies.

American people. Hid tecoid Is familiar
to every school boy. Hut his colleague

Klmbcrly, though well known within
naval circles, are not so well known
generally. Theietore a brief sketch of
each may pone.ss Infcrrst.
Horn In 1832, Admiral Renham en
teiod tho navy In 1817, He served with
distinction In he Civil war, but his
most distinguished service was In 1894.
the year of his retltement for age. The
llrazlll.in 1 evolutionists had secured
control of the Htnzlllan navy nnd cs
tpbllMiod a blockade at Rio against
foielqn merchantmen. Theie were pies
ent In the h.ubor warfhlps front the
leading Kuropean countries, but their
conimnndeis contented themselves by
merely protesting ngalntit the blockade.
Admiral Henham, then a captain, sent
word to Admlial Mollo, of tho Revo
lutionists, that ho would not lecognize
the blockade nnd If any American mer
chant vessels arrived at Rio they must
be permitted to enter the hatbor. Tho
Hrazilian admiral would not ugtee to
this and while a diplomatic conttoversy
was In niogiess two American vessels
laden with Hour hi rived. Admiral Hen
ham gave notice that he Intended to
convoy the Hour vessels to the city. The
little second-class cruiser Detroit, under
command of Lieutenant Commander
Hronson. w-as ordeted by Admiral Hen
ham to escort the two Ametlcan mer
chantmen thtoilgh the blockade line.
The American fleet cleared for action
and with shotted guns the Detroit
f teamed lr nlongsdo of one of the mer
chantmen. A blank cartridge was Jit pel
by one of the Hrazilian battleships nnd
In response Hronson sent a solid shot
w hlch entered the stern post of the Bra
zilian. This ended tho Incident, the mer
chantmen were allowed to enter nnd
the blockade was completely broken.
The other member of the court of In
quiry, Admiral Klmbcrly, was born In
183'f. During the gieater pait of the
Civil war he served as executive officer
on Admltal Karragut's Hagshlp, the
Hartford. On this detail he met George
Dewey. Admiral Klnibtiley partici
pated in many important naval actions
during the War of the Rebellion. He
was also on the expedition to Coren,
and conducted that portion of the
forces that landed and captuied the
forls at Chemulpo. While commander-in-chief
of the Pacific station Rear Ad
mlial Klmbeiiey was In the great hur
llcnne of .March 15 nnd 16, 18S9, when
the Trenton and Vnndallii weie wiecked
and the Nipslc beached at Apia, Samoa.
He It was who gave the older for the
American band to play the "Star
Spangled Hanner" duilng tho height of
the storm when the vessels in the har
bor weie battling with death, and he
led the cheering when the Hrltlsh ship
made its heroic effort to rtcam out of
the harbor In the teeth of the hurt I
cane. During thv delicate Intel national
negotiations then In ni ogress at Samoa
Involving the United States, Great
Htitaln and Germany, and when the
icpiesentathe of tho latter country was
conducting matters with a high hand,
Admit it Klmbeiiey won much pralso
fiom bis superior oiilcers because ot
the lltm and Jiiht manner by w'dch ho
upheld the lights of the United States.
Ho received a commendatory letter
fiom tho secretary of the navy for his
conduct of affairs at that time. Ad
miral Klmbeiiey was letlred from ac
tive service April 2, 1892, the day on
which he became sixty-two years old.
Men of this kind may b relied upon
to uphold and defend the honor 0 the
navy and the reputation of any naval
oillccr who Is unfarly criticized.
Some of tho Spanish inhabitants of
Manila aie displeased because the Phil
ippine commission pioposcs to govern
that city by three commissioners, as in

on valuation of property Instead of
upon rentals and frontage. They should

PROTECT THE WITNESSES.
From the St. Louis Mirror.
What all the courts should do is to put a check
upon the scope of cross-examination ef wit
nesses. The cross-extmlnitlon is often nothing
but 1 device to besmirch the witness. Often a
suit 1 entered for no other purpose than that
some one may be iross-exsmlncd In such a way
a to get before the public certiin question
Implying disgraceful conduct. The questions
are all that Is needed. The answers don't count.
The witness may deny the chsrges. That doesn't
matter. He or she was expected to do that, and
the Imputation sticks to the victim. The case
miy be lost, but the court has been used for
the' gratification of private malice, the wrong I
done and the victim ha no redress. The courts
cannot be too strict in their rules tor the pro
tection of xvitnejxes from the schemes of black
mailers and shyster lawjers.
