to the illhlinet cieillt of its
ipgoliiitoi'p, oiipoi'tniilty Is iiffot'ileil lor
giving oxpi'e.suioii to some ot the many
reflection which tills long nml fniltless
stiiisgle siisKOst. AVe need not now ic
vlve any of the eontioversles involved,
for it Is dually bes-t for all concerned
that they should be encouraged to die
out as soon as possible. Valuable les
sons, have undoubtedly been learned on
nil sides. Jllstakes have been ninde
hioli will not soon be lepented.
But theie Is one phase of the long
struggle which deseives especial atten
tion, both at home and abioad. Tills
stiike lasted six months. It repiesenled
a distinct test of strength between
organized labor and the resisting power
of capital. Dining its long course preju
dice necessarily giew and temper was
not sweetened. Yet it temains lo be
said that with the exception of a few
ilstic encounters, hardly moie than
could have been expected under ordi-.
nary clicumstances, and a few explos
ions of toipedoes under moving cms,
confined mostly within a.' small area,
theie was no consideiable disorder and,
as a direct consequence, no loss of life
or moie than minor injury to property.
A population exceeding 100,000 people,
complex as to nationality and scattered
over twenty square miles, was policed
without the aid of troops or their need
at any time, and with a police foicc
hardly sufficient in nuiubeis (though
since increased) to allow two officers to
each scjuaie mile of territory during the
hours when disorder is most common.
We aie aware that during the peilod ot
these torpedo explosions, the actual
damage fiom which was practically nil,
though they contilbuted to nervousness,
many of our citizens became exasper
ated and momentarily regarded the
police conditions as worse than they
were; but it is a fact of easily verified
record that there lias never been an
other street car strike in the United
States of propouions at all comparable
with this one in which theie was not
far greater disturbance of the peace and
lar worse menace to lire and property
than characteiized the strike in Scrim
ton, the place heralded far and wide as
a stronghold of labor disturbance and
disorder.
We shall not attempt at this time to
assign the eiedlt for this condition of
affairs. It doubtless belongs to many
influences, working along different lines.
Certainly we must accord grateful
recognition of the fact that the strikers,
both as individuals and as an organ
ization, discouraged tho employment ot
violence. Their more intelligent sympa
thizers likewise displayed the quality of
prudence and good judgment in striv
ing to hold down those whose natural
tendency was to preclpltnto riot. Tho
moral Influence or the Citizens' Alliance,
more potent than its offers of leivavds,
was also a power for peace. But It
would be untulr to the administration
of our city affairs not to appreciate Hint
It' did far more by quiet and even-tempered
ways to avert the contingency ot
an open clash than its critics always
knew. Viewed calmly, after an Interval
or time for reflection, its couise must
win tho ultimate approval of all who
believe in law and ouler without bluster
or spectacle.
Tliopolnt we desire especially to em
phasise is that Bcrnnton is a safe city
lor ettpltul to Invest In and for enter
prise to live in. The ferment is over,
and crantou Is once mote jeady for
business.

The rates actually charged in New

man without nn escort he usually puts
It on heavy. If it man who has the
look of wraith, ditto. Hut even for the
ordinary man the charge never falls
below $1 for the shortest distance, and
very frequently that price Is doubled.
The demand for n rectification ot these
small methods of highway robbery
should have tho enthusiastic approval
of every ti livelier. '

Cecil Rhodes' Will.
Fl
tOM whatever standpoint the
sliango c.ueer of Cecil .lohn
Diodes Is viewed, and how
ever much or little charity Is
voui'lisafed to It by Us critics, there
can be no gtiinsaynl of the latge
mlndedness of his hist will nhd testa
ment. That could have come only fiom
a man of big and generous nature, ac
cuslonied to a sweeping outlook upon
life and willing to trust, to time for
the vindication of his purposes.
Within the last year or two, a good
deal has been written about the power
of an Anglo-Saxon-Teutonic moral and
sympathetic alliance to pieserve the
peace and enhance Hie civilization of
the world; but we must remember, in
intei'iuptlng Cecil lthodes' will, that Its
animating idea took possession of him
years earlier, before any of this talk
had made itself heaid In International
elides, ale was almost the pioneer In
It. A few scholars may have dreamed
of it in the privacy of their study
chambeis; but he took it to heart, and,
In a big, lough way, which scrupled
not to bieak some of the ten com
mandments In pounding the spirit of
them all Into benighted craniums, pro
ceeded to work for the bringing of
such a combination about. lie did first
what laid closest to his hand. He
built an empire out of the untamed
hills and veldts and aded half a con
tinent to English-speaking civiliza
tion. But, big as was this task, it did
not sulllce to fill the measure of his
ambition; and his will shows us how
wide-renchlngly that ambition soared.
Whatever shortcomings may be de
tected in such a career, it cannot fall
to be in future years a fruitful source
of inspiration to the young men whom
it has provided with the means of pre
paration for tho serious duties of life.
They must be students of his plan,
whether they bp like him or no; and
consciously or unconsciously they will
giadunlly bend to the shaping of his
perpetuated aims. That such a benefac
tion, so bioadly planned and so pro
jective throughout time, must pro
foundly Influence the statesmanship
and scholarship of the future cannot
be doubted. It was a giant's concep
tion gigantically achieved.

Unconventional, but Sound.
T
HERE Is 'a w holesome rugged-
ness and "sanctified common
sense" about the words and
deeds of Bishop Fowler which
commend them to the approval of the
judicious above those of almost any
other ecclesiastic In the country. Ills
charge In Grace church, New York, last
week, to candidates for the ministry
is an instance in point. Here are some
excerpts from it;
"Uusiness common sense," urged the
bishop, "is what wo need In the church
just ns much ns in any other walk of
life. Give me a man with religion and
no common sense and a man with com
mon sense and no ieligion as candi
dates, and I'll choose the man wltli
common sense every time. Because," ho
continued dryly, after the excitement
caused by this radical statement had
subsided, "If a man has common sense
he's bound to get the religion in time,
"Rut be careful not to confuse ctank
tlflcution nnd sunctlllcatlon. They are
qutte distinct and different. Sanetiflca
tlon is very self-critical, but eranktlil
cnUon is sour godliness and is very
chtitiloble concerning self. As a matter
of fact, there are very few hypociltes
in the world, and It Is Important for us
to realize that the other fellow's way Is
apt to bo quite as good as our own,
"What you need to bring to your
work Is guico and sense, I'm not wor
ried about grace, because that's free,
but you must have the sense must
learn to suit the lemedy to the need.
There are too many goody goody ser
mons nowadays. What tl)ls city espe
cially needs Is to have the doctilues ot
sin preached to it, Riem-h good ser
mons, even if you have to steal the stuff
out of some book and acknowledge it
afterward,"
If we catch correctly the bishop's
meaning, he Is not fur from tigiecinent
with our belief that nilnlstets us well
us other men can be too good; Unit Is,
too much dedicated to the appearance
of godliness and too little In touch with
Its spirit. Ills definition of "cranhtlfl
ratlon" Ills precisely the attitude which
we had in mind when discoursing e
ceutly on this same geneinl subject, to
the evident exasperation nf some of our
good friends in tho local ministry; The
bishop's remaiks, J ike those to which
local exception was then taken, me un
conventional but In our opinion sound..
Atlantic City will be all the better tor

to replace most of the ruined frame

system of fire protection may be Insti
tuted. American pluck and persever
nhce never yet wilted In the face of i
big tire; and, we venture to predict,
never will.

fully the kind of man whom our
