THE RECURRENCE of vio lence which Is reported from various places in the Btriko holt, and which In nearly every Instance takes the form of forci ble lntoi ference by strikers or their sympathizes with men at work or seeking work In or about the mines, Is greatly to he deplored and cannot be tolerated. It violates tho counsel and instructions of the responsible strike leaders and It affronts and challenges all who believe in law nnd order. Undoubtedly this violence is tho work of hot heads; of boys, women and men who are carried away by their feelings and prejudices, and do not realize that they are doing exactly what the opera tors would have them do so as to turn tho current of public sympathy and bring on tho Interposition of troops. For this reason, while oflicers of the law must enforce tho law at any and all hazards, and must be upheld while doing it, it especially behooves the more intelligent and judicious strikers to take active measures to hold these violent persons in check. Nearly twelve weeks of the strike have passed without violence of a serious or general character. The ab stention from violence by the men on strike has been their strongest weapon. It has enabled their leaders to appeal to the countiy to take notice that the contest, ono of the lurgest in the his tory of tho labor movement, has been at the same lime one of the most peaee lul. Dependent as they now are upon outside contiibutious for tho con tinuance of their struggle, the strikers have a monetary as well us a moral Flake In preserving this good reputa tion. Mob demonstrations and defiance of tho laws of the land would shut the pocket books of outside sympathizers more quickly than anything else that the strlkeis could do. From tho evidence at hand it npprais that Pugllibt Goddurd, the Camden rc pcaur and polling place thug, gof about witat ho deserved. Good Warm-weather Reading. A SPECIAL dispatch from Vic toria, British Columbia, to the Washington F03t tolls a tale of adventure amidst northern Ice fields which makes interesting mld Eumnier reading: "Hurry Do Wlnclt, the noted travel er, explorer, author, and journalist, and his companions, Vircompla de Clln chnm, IJellcgurde, of Paris; George Harding, nn Englishman, and Stepan Rastorguyeff, a Russian, who truveled With the expedition from Kakuta, Si beria, left .Skugway on Thursday lust, on route to New York and Purls, after q. most-adventurous journey, which was practically taken with u view of Inves tigating the feasibility of u railway to ho-imllt through from Europe to tho Bering Straits to connect with un Alu3 kaa,roj.d. "De Wludt and his companions left Paris on Dee. 19, and, proceeding via Moscow, they went over tho Trans Siberian railway to Irkutsk, ut which point they arrived on Jan. 12, anil there abandoned the railroad for horses and rokas. Horses were not spared, nnd with relays they made the arduous jurrtey over 2,000 miles of steppes to IVikutBlc, which the explorer declares Is E&fcf to be the coldest spot of the vjonld, in twenty-three days. At Ya kutsk the ofllclals Insisted on a guide and Interpreter Joining tho party, and a gossack bus been with the party Elpce then. Reindeer were obtained upd tho party proceeded north 800 miles to Vernoyskl, where, after a short stay, fresh reindeer were secured and the Prty started on their thousand-mile journey to the Arctic coast. ''Arriving at tho coast, little food could bo secured by the travelers, but dog teams were obtained and a sort of pemmlcan, the only food available, Jt forming the main article of diet on their next stage, which was 1,600 miles to past Cupe, on the Siberian coast of Bering Straits. Most of the wny this Journey was over the arctic ice, nnd was traversed with dlflleuity. Along the shore line but little driftwood was available, nnd many days the pnrty nte nothing but cold food. An ordlnnry tent was used, nnd on nccount of tho scant Btipply of fuel, they all suffered severely from tho terrible cold. The laBt Journey occupied six weeks, nnd nil of tho pnrty were worn out nnd exhausted when they reached some friendly Indians at East Cape on May 10. "Hero they awaited the arrival of tho United States steamer Thetis, which, by arrangement, was to call for them at East Cape, it was thirty-two days after their arrival nt East Capo before the Thetis nrrlvcd, on June IS. Tho pnrty wus taken on board Immediately, but could not be landed on shore. In stead of this Captain Ilcaly put the ex plorers down on the Ice about live miles from land. From this point they were guided to land by n party of Indians from Capo Prince of Wales. For a few daya these Indians cared for them, un til the Ice broke, and tho steamer Sadie was sighted. De wlndt and party went then to St. Mlchnel and from that point to Duwson, on the stenmcr Han nti, where they arrived July 15. Two days later they left for White Horse, arriving nt Skugway last Thursduy, nnd embarking on tho same day for the south." Tho dispatch Is silent as to Mr. De Wlndt's opinion on tho feasibility of nn all-rail route from New York to rnrls; and doubtless we shall have to await fuller returns In tho magazines. Tills scheme, like that of an Intercon tinental railroad connecting tho three Americas, Is chiefly useful as an exer cise for tho Imagination, but while men can bo found to undergo such hard ships In the Interest of science, noto riety or adventure It will not do to conclude that tho ago of chivalry has passed. President Castro seems to have been satisfied with taking a look at the dis turbers of his republic. Minister Wu's Recall. THE DUTY for which Wu Ting-fang has been recalled to China Is ono of great Im portance, and It Is likely to prove very helpful to American In terests that Mr. Wu Is to have charge of It. He Is to revise the laws of China. At present that country has no law3. Separate edicts are Issued for every matter requiring governmental atten tion. These are often conflicting and are based on no definite underlying principles, being usually Influenced by the latest "pull." How far Mr. Wu will be permitted to substitute for such an erratic method a disgested system cannot, of course, be foretold; but Americans will readily believe that ho will do his best, and they know that means much. Ho is probably the ablest living Chinaman; a man well educated in both Chinese and modern lore; and apart from his scholarship, his friendly influence at Pekin will be a valuable American asset. Aside from the general Interest which Americans have in the modernization of China, their financial and commer cial stake In that country is consider able, and growing. In tho August Pro tectionist Walter J. Ballard makes this plain. Upon tho authority of Consul Geneial John Gocdnow, of Shanghai, Mr. Ballard gives our sales to China as, isno $21,900,OCO WOO 1S,5K,3.'i2 1001 15,411,052 as near as the records show, but he thinks the correct figures would be considerably larger, as American goods shipped by Canadian Pacific steamers (for want of American ships) are credit ed to Canada. Those shipped by tho Japanese line fiom Seattle and San Francisco (also for want of American ships) are credited to Japan. Those via London are credited to Great Bri tain, and those via Hongkong to Hong kong. We get credit at the Chinese Imperial maritime customs for only the goods' shipped on the few American lines, and cleared from United States ports to ports In China. Our principal sales to China In 1900 and 1901 were 1900. 1901.

Imports from tho United States Increased about $7,500,000 and exports to tho United States fell off $7,500,000, making tho balance of trade $15,000,000 In our favor. Our trade with China last year was about 11 per cent of her total foreign commerce, but only 1.3 of It wus carried In American ships. Mr. Ballard well says; "As wo have never Incurred tho hostility of tho Chinese by forcing grants of territory or ports, In compensation for real or fancied Injuries, nor In any way sought to benefit by tho many embarrassments of tho CeleBtlal empire; on the contrary, as In our dealings with her, we have always governed our actions by the motto, or title of Charles Heude's cele brated novel, 'Put Yourself In Ills Place,' wo can fairly count on Chinese good will towards Americans and everything American, which meuns n much larger share of the future busl nebs of Unit densely populated country of enormous consuming capacity, and very limited manufacturing facilities." As a substantial proof of tho favor which Americans ut present enjoy In China the fact should be mentioned that an Imperial edict has just been Issued at Pekin authorizing tho com mencement of construction work upon tho proposed railroad between Hankow and Canton, and tho issue of $40,000,000 of gold bonds as a subsidy to assist the enterprise. The several governors and other ofllclals along tho line of the road are commanded to render every uld in their power to the contractors. nnd engineers, and it Is Understood to be the wish of the empress dowager that not less than onchnlf the stock and bonds of tho company shall bo sub scribed for by native capitalists In order that they may share the control of tho property. This Is nn American enterprise, organized by tho late Sen nlor JJrlCe, of Ohio, nnd a syndicate of the richest men In Now York Is be hind It. At present the Imincnso trnmo between these two places has to be ship ped 1C00 miles by river and then carted or carried 30 miles over tho Che-ling mountains, an expensive process even with coolie labor. The railroad will shorten the distance to 1200 miles and do away wllh re-hnndllng. Tho cxlont of the Chinese government's Interest In the matter Is shown In Its willingness to furnish $40,000,000 of the $50,000,000 required to build tho railroad. Tho railroad company also has concessions to develop the mineral resources nlong the way and thefc arc believed to bo of enormous richness. Evidently a friend such as Wu Ting fang has proved himself to be at Wash ington will be equally useful, to his own country and to Americans, at Pekin. m The Sunday opening of the Oyster Bay postofllcc seems to be about the only incident to date that will be or nny use to the Individuals In charge of tho department of campaign Issues. Temperance Reform. THE CENSUS bulletin on the drink Industry In the United States will furnish material for many temperance lec tures. In 1900, tho census year, tho con sumption of liquors containing alcohol amounted to 1,325,333,094 gallons; 1,198, 602,104 gallons malt, 103,330,423 gallons distilled liquors and 23,425,567 gallons wines; an average consumption of 17.3 gallons per capita. Tho product of the 2.3S3 establishments doing more than $300 btlslncss a year, which was the limit of the census' investigation, amounted to $340,615,460, divided as fol lows: Wines, $0,547,210; distilled liquors, $96,"0S,443; and malt liquors, $237,269,713. The great increase Is in beer. This Is fast becoming the universal Ameri can drink. Deducting exportatlons of It, the average consumption of beer in 1900 by Americans was 15.7 gallons per capita. This growth has come about In comparatively a few years. From 1830 to 1860 It Increased 272 per cent.; during the next decade it was 161.4 per cent.; from 1870 to 1SS0, 81.4 per cent.; 1SS0 to 1890, S0.8 per cent., and In the last decade, 29.8 per cent. While the percentage of Increase Is falling, the iate of growth Is yet more rapid than the growth In population. In 1863 the total beer production of the United States was only 2,000,000 barrels; today It Is In excess of 40,000,000 barrels. In half a century the number of breweries has trebled, the capitalization has In creased more than ono hundred fold, the number of wage earners Involved has multiplied more than fifteen times, wages have multiplied nearly thirty fold and the value of the product has multiplied forty fold. Tho domestic wine Industry dates back only to I860. Since that time it has grown rapidly, but notalarmingly. The consumption per capita is today less than one-half gallon. Coming to distilled spirits we have most cause for congratulation. While beer production from 1850 to 1860 was increasing 272 per cent., the production of whisky In creased only 96.2 per cent.; the next decade the Increase was only 17 per cent.; from 1870 to 1S80 the increase was but little larger, tho decade following It grew to 153.7 per cent., but last dec ade It was only 7.1 per cent.. In half a century the total output in gallons has not multiplied by five, notwithstand ing the great increase in population and the largely Increased use of spirits In the arts. It Is evident from these figures, as It Is from common observation and a worldly knowledge of human nature, that the substitution of malt for splrlt ous liquors is a substantial victory for temperance reform. That it has been hastened by extremist movements, such ns attempts at state prohibition, may fairly bo doubted. More probably It has come through a natural process of evolution whereby the underlying com mon sense of the American people hn3 admonished them to cut loose from In temperate use of strong drink and seek stimulation, if at all, In tho milder forms. But whatever the explanation, the fact itself stands forth conspicu ously that Intemperance Is on the de cline. It Is bojng drowned, so to speak, In a sea of beer. The United States government spends hundreds of millions of dollars very wisely on battleships, forts, batteries and armies for external defense, yet when tho educational interests of the country call for more than a $60,000 annual expenditure In federal aid to education (the present cost of the bu reau of education) small economists object. Tho value of Uncle Sam's pub lic school plant is nearly $540,000,000 and It takes $213,000,000 a year to run It, more than 15,000,000 pupils being in attendance. This large interest, most vital for Internal defense, Is surely worth more than $60,000 of the national government's money. It is announced that Attorney Gen eral Knox will have the aid of Senator Spooncr In examining tho title of the Panama Canal compuny, Mr, Spooner, like Mr, Knox, earned when In private practice, more than $100,000 a year but lie will do this work for nothing, while Mr, Knox will get only his salary as attorney general, about $150 u week. Secretary Root is another able lawyer who loses largely by acceptance of public office. But really big men seem to enjoy personal sacrifice,. It is one of the proofs of their bigness.

Tho insular government cannot supply enough, being necessarily limited to $600, 000 per annum for education. But wo are teaching nearly 60,000 children nnd expect to open two Industrial schools In the fall. Adults want to learn, nnd In some In stances children are teaching their par ents. "Thero was an extraordinary decrease In tho number of deaths Inst year, 13.0CO fewer than tho year before. There Is much less anaemia than formerly.

This being an election year, politics will occupy much attention, m a new legislature, mayors and other officers aro to bo chosen. Two years ago, ono party withdrew from the field, but from the present outlook there will bo a contest In November. Tho vote will run up to 130,000. "Civil government has now been es tablished over two years, during which tlmo there has been a wonderful adapta bility to free conditions nnd thus far no serious setback. The new code of laws are In effect. Tho Island Is now con trolled by American statutes. There was a ready adjustment to tho change, and reports of the operation of the new laws are gratifying. Tho criminal code, mod eled largely after tho California penal laws. Is giving particular satisfaction. "Porto Ricnns are ambitious for closer relations with the United States and de serve all encouragment. In my residence of over two years In the Island, I found them generous, warm-hearted, good peo ple. They aro impressionable, but gentlo and kind. The result of tho liberal gov ernment given them Is a steadily grow ing mutual respect nnd liking between them and the citizens of the mainland. I regard this In Itself as a most desir able achievement of our occupancy." It will not be lone beforo Porto Rico alone will be worth more to us than tho twenty million dollars we paid to Spain for the Philippines, besides the Porto Rl- can share of our Spanish war expentcs. "It seems to be now plainly Indicated that the next national campaign is to bo fought, so far as tho Democratic party is concerned, upon the tariff. Tho old Issue between tho two parties Is to be revived and the country Is once more to bo asked to pass judgment upon tho ques tion of-protection to Amciicnn industries. Tho Republican party will heartily wel come tho issue. Thero is nothing In lis great record of which It Is moro proud or in defense of which it can Invoke more splendid and conclusive facts. The party Is fully prepared to meet Its op ponents In a discussion of the tariff pol icy beforo tho people, confident that tho history of tho last four years, to go no further back, will amply vindicate and justify Republican policy, which is as necessary today to American labor and Industry as at any time In the past."

Tho day of tho Sensational Jour nalist is passing tho man who boasts of his paper's circulation and of his char ities becauso other sorts of self-conscious millionaires also havo risen to play this sorry game; and tho newspapor brag gart is ceasing to nttract attention. Mean while tho conscientious, well-equipped army of high-minded men who prnctlco tho profession Is Increasing every year. Tho truth Is, Journalism Is Just now be coming for tho fltst tlmo distinctly un in dependent and attractive profession, It yet needs a better csptlt de corps, a sense of professional' dignity, and relief from tho quacks nnd tho loud advonturors of tho craft. Thero Is need, too, of htlll higher pay to those that write well, and of moro stublo conditions of employment. But these conditions are following the moro stable prosperity that tho business Is taking on. 1 SBEHESBOBKHBiai STATE NORMAL SCHOOL EAST STROUDSBURG, PA. ALWAYS BUSY.
