Some of the Democrats anticipate calamities with apparent gusto, In the hope of sntherlnp; a political advantage from common misfortune. They recall that It was the Homestead riot which elected Cleveland the second time, but bad as that riot was in promoting mis cry, the Cleveland administration and the Wilson bill were worse. Miners Beware. A TELEGRAM! from Toledo, Ohio, to the Now York Times says ta that a man named George A. Whitney, secretary, of the ' Western Oil Men's Exchange and the local homestoadlng agent for the Can adian government expects to take up ward of five thousand Pennsylvania strikers to the Dominion. Whitney states that ha outlined his plans to John Qcrahty, agent at "Wilkes-Barre for District No. 2, and that it met with that official's approval. Any wild-cat scheme will apparently meet with the approval of some people. The milder and more elusive it is, the more certain Is It to appeal to their obtuseness. We should like to hear what Mr. Gerahty knows about the Whitney coloniza tion scheme, or why ho should set the sign of his approval, presumably as an ofllccr of the miners' union, to a propo sition which may leads hundreds or thousands of miners and their families to certain hardships and perhaps to ultimate ruin. The Toronto World must bo accepted as an impartial judge of the prospects of the men seeking a homestead in the Canadian northwest. This is what it said no later- than last Saturday: In its present stnto It Is not a "poor man's prospect," as they say in the wild west. Land cm bo had for the asklnc, end practically no capital Is required for this purpoho for sevciul year.", but a man cannot subsist with his family on dirt, however plentiful and however rich. Something else la necessary temporal lly. After tho llrst crop Is harvested a new settler may bo hnld to bo on the high road toward Independence, but a year must elapse before thl3 source of reve nue can bo rolled upon. The largo num bers who are rushing Into tho great stretch of country west of Manitoba are facing a serious pioblem unless they are supplied with a small sharo of worldly goods. A oui.b man without incum brances, without a family, can hopo to sccuro employment In that wonderful country almost ns hoon as ho jumps from tho tialn, especially at this season of tho year, but whilo his compensation will seem amplu as compaied with prices for tho samo labor picvalllng in tho eastern sections to which ho Is accus tomed ho will find that, tho expenses of living are enormously out of proportion to thoso to which ho has been used. The World was not of course mak ,y lug any allusion o Whitney's and Gerahty's scheme. It was endeavoring to discourage the indiscriminate rush of Canadians to a. part of the world which is u wilderness, and which will remain a wilderness during tho next thirty yeais at least. Canada 13 an agricultural country, nnd those who are recklessly turning their faces toward the Northwest are mainly farmers and farm laborers. Men who have follow ed any other occupation have no pros pects there. A raw ntincr In Manitoba would have infinitely less chance of making u living or even sustaining life, than a Manitoba farmer would have in the mines of Pennsylvania. The World goes on to say: Tho labor market is very likely to bo congested In tho teriltnries within tho next few months. Capital is icqutred to develop tho country. Everybody cannot live on farms, and especially Is this true of tho class who have nothing with which to buy Brain, farm Implements, stock and provisions to cany them over sovcral months.. Nor is this any more cheerful pic ture than what we have already quoted from our able and conscientious con temporary. Tlicso .are questions that even tho en thusiastic, individual contemplating this trip should bo Interested in. Tho plulna present an uitiunclng panorama at this Beaton. Wild (lowers grow in tho great est profublon, and tho blue lobolla and . tho dainty daisy can bo seen there In the wildest jangle. Tho vlislri soil onco turned yields abundantly. But in win ter tho'feccno Is a bleak onu on thoso came prftliles pow carpeted with tho most nttriictltP llora. Nature hero presents it very dreary aspect, and u substantial dwelling Is necessary. Tho young man figuring Ion such u prospect bhould have from J-fl to 11,000 n his pocket when he lands in;tthe northwest If ho Is accom panied by his family. A loss amount will subject lilm. to luudshlps of which he never dreamed. Tho agents who have been rushing around the anthracite regions during the strike were not actuated by philan thropic motives. How far those injnera who accepted their offers were satisfied or disappointed we have no means of ascertaining. These engagements were temporary, and were meant to be to. I la altogether another matter to strike out to tho Canadian Northwest on an expedition without money, experience, or provisions ngalnst the accidents of fortune which invariably confront tho plonecron tho threshold of his ndvont tire, Such nn exodus of minors ns that contemplated by Whitney nnd Gerahty would; be reckless, dangerous nnd under easily conceived contingencies sheer madness, The Tribune, through being misin formed, made nn error yesterday morn ing In stating that the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel company had protested against what they considered exorbit ant rates of the Scran ton Gas and Wnter company. No such protest was ever mude. As The Tribune stated, the taicstlon of water rates has prob ably never been considered ob nn In centive for removal of the 'steel mills, as the cost to tho company for water at Buffalo will undoubtedly bo largely In excess of amounts paid In Scrunton; and we have no desire to create a false Impression as to tho business relations of the Iron nnd Steel corpora tion and ths Gus nnd Water company. The Ethics of Suicide. A KENTUCKY clergyman asks, should not soma Indignity bo shown to suicides, at least N to the extent of denying them Christian burial. Wo believe that on tho highest ground of morality and humanity the resuscitation of bar barous old practices which offered censploss indignities to the remains of the self-Immolated would not bo toler ated in this or any other country which possesses tho rudiments of modern civ ilization. It Is not very long ago either since the corpse oC a suicide wns sub jected to appalling and senseless atro cities when tho cadaver was mutil ated in various ways, .when a stake was driven through the body, when It was buried nt the juncture of four cross-roads', when of course It was denied Christian burial to signify the horror and detestation In wliich tho wicked act of self-murder was held. Even at tho present day in England, If a coroner's Jury brings In a verdict of fclo de se, the corpse may be denied legally the observances of a Christian burial. But this is a relic of barbar ism, wliich has fallen Into desuetude. The clergyman who advocates that measures of Indignity should be shown to the corpse of a suicide is not con scious, wo hope, of the appaling pun ishment which he would Inflict upon the living to revenge tho moral cow ardice of the dead. A man or woman who commits suicide Is in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred Insane. This state of mind may arise from fear, re morse, shame or any other mental aberration, but It Is almost capable of demonstration that at the moment a person rushes upon self-destruction, mental equilibrium is upset, either temporarily or permanently. It Is true that muny Instances can be adduced to prove a contrary thesis. In China, for instance, suicide is not only com mon but customary. Roman generals and Greek philosophers committed sui cide with tho dellbcrateness which comes of starving oneself to death. Indeed, the cheerful alacrity with which Socrates drank tho deadly hem lock and at least courted 'his own condemnation when on trial cannot be very well differentiated from suicide. But these examples are not sufficient to counteract tho universality of the instinct which concentrates all here ditary and acquired faculties In an abiding horror of death. Under these circumstances, it seems strange that any man with either heart, feeling or common sense could .advocate an out rage to tho corpse of a suicide. It cannot do the corpse any possible harm if It was carved in a thousand frag ments and every Indignity which the imagination could suggest offered to each fragment. But It would be an unspeakable affliction to father or mother, brother or sister, wife or child, to have that poor relic of human noth ingness desecrated before their very eyes. Suicide is probably less preva lent now than it was over before In the world. Happiness is a relative term; so is wretchedness; but neither happiness nor wretchedness as wo or dinarily estimate the assets of llfo is the impelling motive of suicide. If re ligion and tho hopes and fears founded upon religion arc not sufficient to re strain the suicide from Ills desperate act, it is not likely that tho appre hension of post mortem indignity will. The first circles In Chicago are much agitated over tho Ill-advised announce ment by some meddlesome college pro fessor that the name of their city In plain English means "skunk-weed." Tho first circles have always Inclined to the belief that "Chicago" meant "strength." The disclosures of the pio fessor have therefore caused pain. Ac cording to some authorities the citizens of that town may take their choice between the Interpretation of "skunk weed" or "clty-that-is-no-clty-nt-all." South African Hereafter.. ONE OP tho timely features of this month's North American Review Is a discussion of "Tho Outlook In South Af rica," by Lconutd Courtney, M. P., and Alfred Lyttelton, brother of Lieuten ant General Lyttleton, who succeeds Lord Kitchener In charge of the British military forces In the newly annexed territory. Mr. Courtney characterizes tho tem per shown by Briton and Boer toward each pther since the capitulation of the latter ns being beyond praise. One fact, (however, which should bo borno in mind Is that this Is not the (list tlmo tho Transvaal has been annexed, and the lessonB to be learned from what happened on the previous occa sion should be taken to' heart. As to the future of South Africa, everything depends on tho spirit In which tho British address themselves to Its set tlement. The largest generosity, not merely of money but of disposition, the strongest bymputhy, an instant de she to go beyond the prudenco of nice ly calculated"1 safeguards, are necessary It tho problem Is to bo solved In tho inost desirable way. The vital connec tion of South Africa with tho Empire must be kept as Is that of Canada and Australiaby minimizing depend ence nnd enlarging the seopo of local freedom. Mr. Courtney docs hot an ticipate that many British worklngmen will be tempted to go to South Africa. "The worklngmnn does not willingly go to a country where a colored nnd dependent race' do tho iork, unless ho Is called to n position to supervise and direct them. Thero Is thus next to no scope for agricultural laborers In South Africa, nnd oven mine workers go there rtB captains nnd lenders, not ns mere laborers, Tho progress of Nn tul Is it most striking Illustration of the unnttraotlveness of South Africa, since It differs from the Inner ttible Innds In naturally admitting a more varied agriculture nnd, being mnlnly a British colony, presents none of the dllllcultles which confront n British emigrant on entering nmong tho Dutch-speaking people with Dutch habits and Dutch customs, Yet Natnl draws few Immigrants from tho United Kingdom, the total white population numbering only ubout 65,000, being Ices than' the Immigrants from British In dln, who have como ns traders as well as farm laborers, and ngaln less than a twelfth part of the Zulu population, which hns lncreused under our rule to nn extent provoking somo nnxloty re specting tho future. It may bo remem bered In passing that the Natnl whites themselves aro Jealous of tho Indian Immigrants. They have taken effec tive steps to prevent any further great addition to their numbers. All this gues to show that, except so far ns Im migrants are drawn tp tho mining centers of the Rand, womust not ex pect any movement changing tho char acter or tho white population of South Africa." Mr. Lyttelton, who was chairman of the commission sent to South Africa to Investigate the claims of foreigners for compensation for damages Incurred during tho war, Is also Inclined to take a hopeful view of the outlook, although recognizing that the dlfllculties are many and serious. Ho points to the affinities between tho Dutch and Brit ish races, and to the similarity between the pursuits and the historical aspira tions of both people. Though the loss of national independence must be a grievous thing to tho Boers, still there ure precious things which national In dependence does not safeguard, such as personal liberty, religious toleration and the free expansion of the indi vidual, which, It is to be hoped, his ab sorption into the British empire will guarantee to tho Boor. Mr. Lyttelton tells of some of the things which have already been accomplished. The law affecting tho natives of the Transvaal has been reformed; "the Illicit drink traffic with natives has been put down; the gold and patent laws have been Improved; a scheme for Irrigation has been worked out and a land settlement plan devised. As to education, Mr. Lyttelton says: "To the genuine delight of their par ents, while the war was yet raging, a larger number of Dutch children en Joyed elementary education than ever before In the two provinces. Dutch teachers taught to the children their own religious faith, using for this pur pose tho Taal language, which, though a barbarous tongue In ordinary use, rises In connection with Biblical teach ing to a homely and picturesque dig nity. After religious conviction had thus been satisfied, tho parents of the children saw, with profound satisfac tion, lessons given in English' by Eng lish teachers, in all other branches of elementary education." To Lord Mothuon, he of singular mis fortune In war, Is credited this wise Injunction to the volunteer teachers who came from various English pro vinces to assist In the work of pacifi cation and reconstruction: "Seek out those who know tho children of the land and spend many of your hours out of school with them, try to learn something of the Taal, that expressive language of Dutch-Africander popula tion, which measures and debcrlbes everything through tho experience of farm life, offer to talk of your homo occupation, and to read with your comrades tho works of English litera ture that you value most; ask them to le.ad you to the tents of thoso among tholr countrymen from whom you can gain the deepest insight into tho Boer character. In a word, go among your fellow-workers as friends and equals and as messengers of peace." Such a policy, now clearly sanctioned by King Edward and tho new British premier, cannot fall to work out even tual good results. The Scranton Times belittles tho Uni ted Mlno Workers by rushing to the front with nn apology for tho organi zation at every new Instance of law lessness. When no one has even inti mated that the members of the Mine Workers' locals favor such dastardly nets ns that which disgraced Edgerton, the ofilclousness of the Times In has tening to deny that the Mine Workers did It must be annoying to the leaders of the organization. If the Times has any excuses to offer It should apolo gize! for Its own existence. If It were an American girl who had come home from tho coronation and had expressed a willingness to exhibit herself In her coronation robes nt so much n head for the benefit of charity, there would ascend a howl long enough nnd loud enough to encircle the earth. "Such vulgarity! Just what might be expected of American snobbishness!" would be the general sentiment, But an English peeress Is a different crea ture. It Is beautiful, and regal and al together lovely for her to pose thus before tho public, So It happens that Lady Raglan, tho fair wife of the new ly appointed governor to tho Islo of Man, Is to array hetself In her shining satins and diamonds with the medal presented to her by tho king, and Is to be 'seen at three-pence a look, for a certain popular charity In London. If this Is not true American enterpilse what Is it? Of course It cannot be vanity In an English peeress. Big Heart, chief of the Osage In dians, Is the richest native North American In the world. His wealth is estimated at 13,000,000.'' Yet Big Heart Is not bumpered by his wealth like other poor fellow a. Ho Is not anxious ly awaited when he comes home from foreign trips, by financiers, politicians, agitators, promoters nnd camera fiends nnd Urged to sottlo conl strikes. , Ho is not expected to bo nn authority in nrt( or give nwny n library twice a day, or set a good example. Most of hit ho docs hot have to worry ns to whether, his Pnliruua hat Is the real thing or not. ' Ho lias no limitation of clothes when on his native heath, but wears his blanket on the bins nnd sleeps In a teepee like his brothers. Happy Dig Heart.
