Tin.' rumor that John Mitchell, to pre
serve the Integrity of the miners' union,
will, when ho bocr no further hope of
etirceFs, uiIvIfc tho men to return to
work In a body haw not been confirmed.
But It would be a shrewd piece of
strategy.
An Example.
IF GOVERNOR STONE Is sincere
ly desirous of contributing to
peace and prosperity In the an
thracite coal region, let him study
his duty In the light of such pioccpd
Ings as are reported In last evening's
Ttuth and Times to have taken place
In the vicinity of Maltby.
For two weeks the colliery at that
place operated by the Lehigh Valley
I'oul company had been working. Yes
terday morning a mob started for the
rolllery for the avowed purpose of
forcibly interfering with tho men at
work in It. According to the published
dispatches, they succeeded In putting
the sheriff and s-lx deputies to flight
and in preventing M0 men who wanted
to return to work from doing so. But
that did not satisfy the mob. Its blood
was up, and, meeting two men ap
proaching along the railroad track,
armed with guns, It proceeded to at
tack them. The result of its onslaught
was that one of these men was clubbed
to death and the other is in the hos
pital, In the shadow ot death, perhaps
by this time dead.
Tho mob evidently thought that these
two men weie officers of the law and
therefore good prey. It turns out that
they were strikers, hastening to take
a hand in the shindy. What they got
from their fellow sti Ikers was what
they had set out to indict upon men
willing to work. They fell victims to a
misunderstanding.
If this tragedy, taken In connection
with otheis of Us kind which have oc
cuired find are occurring In wirlous
parts of the coal Ileids, has nny mean
ing for the duly constituted peuco offi
cers of the commonwealth, (mm the
governor down. It Is that the time lias
come for a more vigorous assertion and
enforcement of the majesty of the law.
When even union men are not safe
from the mob spirit which this strike
In certain localities has engendered, It
is futile to look fcir peace while the law
itself is not asserted.
If Instead of hunting for some In
tangible legislative scheme to pull the
wool over tho eyes of the labor vote,
those charged Willi ofticlal responsibil
ity In this commonwealth should fear
lessly do their sworn duty, there is
manhood enough among the voters of
Pennsylvania. Including fair-minded
worklngmcn themselves, to safeguard
tho consequences. Let the officials of
our state take Inspiration from the ex
ample of President Roosevelt, No man
living is more highly esteemed by
worklngmen than he. yet he has never
swerved In his enforcement of law. In
his eyes laws aie for big and little, rich
and poor, alike: mul his Invariable offi
cial proceduie on this principle lias
been one of tho great sources of his
strength among the people.
Theodore Roosevelt does not seem
able to find any "enemy's country."
' True Americanism.
Tjjjfi AMAZING ability of
American cities to recuper
r,,ate rup'ldly from sudden dis
aster has many times been
Illustrated, but never more vividly
than 'u 'he, c.aso. c.f Galveston. Swept
two yeiffeftouyaMiVrrledne and tidal
wave tlmt reduced to ruins a largo per
centage, of its most pretentious busi
ness institutions and homes, with
frightful loss of life, thut beuutlful city
promptly set about the work of re
demption, and now a special Issue of
tho Galveston News tells something of
the story of Its success.
To guard against a recurrence of that
typo oC disaster, the county of Gal
veston has bonded Itself In $1,500,000 to
build o concrete sea wall around the
entire ejulf front of the city, The wall
la to bej 17 feet above mean high tide,
IV feet Illicit at the base, with a piling
foundation from 30 to E0 feet deep, and
with a Hirface width of 5 feet, enabling
It to b&used us n driveway for pleas
ure vehicles. The dilveway, it should
bevexpfjlned, is not to be on the top
of this .wall, but on the paved filling
behind the wall, which is to be 150 feet
wide. The completion of this under
tuklng f'ls expected within . eighteen
months, and It will absolute! as'stiro
protection to the harbor shipping of
Galvestpn In the fiercest storms. So
niuch for prevention. Let us now look
at some of tho statistical evidences of
aatveston's recuperation.
Hank clearings during the fiscal year
were $372,238,800, it gain of $il869,80O, or
moro than 3 per tent. The total ship
ping business of the po'rt was valued
at 3260,837)354, a gain of $14,270,107, or
nearly 6 per cent. Tho receipts nt the
Oalveston postolilco were $140,810, an In
crease of $52,375, or CO per cent. The
cotton oxporta were 1,001,250 bales,
valued at $80,320,777, compared with
1,699,107 bales worth $82,093,982 the year
before. And so on through u long list
of articles. It took .18 more vessels,
with an Increase" ot 210,087 In the ton
nage, "to transact Galveston's commerce
on the water, and tho railroads in
creased their facilities In proportion.
In 'short, In less than two years this
enterprising community has not only
put behind it the visible signs of Its
uflllctloil but has taken advantage of
that nflllctlon to build anew on a broad
er and more modern foundation, llter
ally wresting profit from disaster.
This Is the true American spirit. Its
exemplification in'n territory once alien
shows how beneficial Is American ex
pansion.
Washington proposes to show that
the heroes ot 'Gl have not been entirely
forgotten.
Conditions In Cuba.
THE LAST Issue of Dun's Re
view contains an Interesting
report upon commercial con
ditions In Cuba. The report
was prepared especially for Dun's by
Its Havana agent, nnd Is without po
litical motive or bias.
More than CO per cent, of the sugar
cane planters of Cuba, It says, have
been compelled to sell their product
tills year lit a price below the actual
cost of production, "and prospects for
the coming year are very gloomy, un
less a treaty of reciprocity be author
ized at the next session of the Ameri
can congress," Tobacco growers have
not made a profit In several years past,
a large proportion of the heavy ad
vances made to cane and tobacco
planters has not been collected and the
amount of outstanding debts due mer
chants Is, says the report, probably
larger than ever before in the history
of the Island. A majority of the mer
chants' of the island are owing past due
debts and many are Insolvent. Though
great leniency has been shown to debt
ors, failure are rapidly increasing. The
report continues:
"Credit is being steadily curtailed by
jobbers and retailers, and bankers have
been calling In loans for several months
past and making comparatively few
new ones, although little difficulty Is
experienced In lending money on good
collateral at 10 and 12 per cent. A
comparatively small quantity of cane
has been planted this year, and, as the
majority of planters have been unable
to obtain funds to work the fields, the
present crop yield will probably be
smaller than last year, the reduction
by some being estimated at from 20 to
25 per cent. The number of unem
lUoyed in all parts of the island is very
large, but they appear to be pacifically
disposed. In Havana several public
works have been resumed or inaugurat
ed in order to give employment to a
portion of the army of Idle men who
have publicly clamored for work."
To meet temporarily this abnormal
and discouraging situation President
Palma and his advisers are proposing
to pass a bill increasing from 50 to 100
per cent, the duties on articles of food;
but this will simply Increase the public
hardship and possibly hasten the ex
pected uprising of discontented ele
ments. All of these conditions would
have been averted and our own com
mercial Interests benefitted had con
giess, or more especially a little knot
of Republican kickers, heeded the coun
sel of Presidents MeKlnley and Roose
velt and enacted reciprocity with Cuba.
Their default in an obvious national
duty has added a page of shame to the
American record that cannot too soon
be recalled and erased.
The Firmlnlsts evidently took no
stock In this theoretical destruction of
war vessels fad.
Strike Insurance.
THERE has been organized In
Vienna a company which,
assuming that It Is able to
carry out its agreements,
should prove very popular. We should
imagine that It might do a landofllce
business In Scranton. It is called the
Manufacturers' Strike Insurance com
pany, and It proposes to Insure employ
ers against losses arising from strikes.
As explained' by the Rochester Post
Express, the premium to be paid is
based upon tho hazard disclosed by the
official statistics of strikes in Austria
between 1SUI and ISO". It Is said that the
number of men engaged in a strike was
30,000 u year, and that there were 400,
000 days of Idleness. The premium has
been fixed ,at four-tenths of 1 per cent,
of tho declared pay list for the year,
A rebate of 25 per cent. Is granted for
long contracts and In business subject
to slight risk of a strike. In order not
to encourage strikes, a full indemnity
for losses will not be paid, Only a part
of the actual losses of tho firm during
a strike will be paid, and this part will
amount to only one-half of the regis
tered wages of the strikers. The pay
ment will bo for only three months for
a single strike, and for only six months
In a year. It will then be made only
upon the report of a committee that
the strike was unjustifiable. This com
mittee will consist of from nine to fif
teen members. Upon the outbreak of a
strike, It will promptly Investigate tho
trouble, The employer will bo obliged
to put It In possession of all the Infor
mation he has about the cause, and
about the negotiations between him
and his employes, The committee has
the right to undertake to compose' the
differences. . In case It finds the strike
unjustifiable, It will orde- the payment
of the Indemnity.
The loss which Is not In any degree
reimbursed by this plan Is thut sus
tained by the butcher, baker and can
dlestick maker the great body of neu.
trals upon whose backs ultimately the
whole burden falls. The manufacturer,
after tho strike is oyer, has always the
possibility beforo him of charging, back
upon the consumer the strike expenses,
and If ho happens not to have much
competition it can be taken ns assured
that he will work this possibility for
nil It In worth. The laborer, too, can
In some degree, if not scrupulously
honest, recoup some of tils strike losses
by forgetting to pay tho debts con
tracted while the strike was In pro
gress. Only the dear patient public is
without protection or redress. If It
could bo Insured, the millennium would
Indeed bo ndvancod,
However this may be, the Vienna
scheme presents some) novel points of
Interest. Its likeliest feature Is tho
provision for an Independent audit of
tho strike causes and conditions. As
suming the company to be honorably
managed, the publicity possible through
this inquiry, of Its committee of Inquis
ition would have a decided educational
value. If there had been such an In
vestigation of tho coal strike ot Its In
ception, with the whole story of both
sides revenled to the country In detail,
whether with or without an opinion as
to the merits, none can doubt that tho
mature judgment of the public would
have shortened the period of conflict.
Whatever tends to promote accurate
publicity In such matters is to bo en
couraged. If It Is true, as asserted In corre
spondence from London, that it costs
less to transport certain classes of
goods from New York to London .than
to London from some of its remoter
suburbs, wo do not wonder that en
lightened Britishers are urging a revo
lution In British railway management.
And now, to England's other woes, Is
added the discovery based on study of
the census returns that her birth rate
Is declining more rapidly than her
death rate, while immigration, also, Is
falling olf. It is up to Kipling to write
another poem.
By all accounts the Russian Grand
Duke Boris is having a lovely time
among the Four Hundred at Newport.
If Morse Watterson's dlngnosls of the
Four Hundred Is correct, we should
think he would.

In view ot other troubles to worry

Physical Training
for LiffI? Girls
Dr. Richard Cole Newton, of Montclalr,
N. J., Ill the Medical Record.
A GREAT deal has been said and
written of late In regard to tho
hygiene of school life. It seems
to be generally conceded that the
health of many scholars is injured by their
school work, nnd there Is a growing ten
dency to blame the teuchers for driving
the pupils beyond tho limit of their
strength. As the writer has from time to
time looked over the educational field for
about thirty years, and was himself at
one time a teacher, ho uaturull takes
consideruhh; Interest In this very Im
portant question.
While it seems that teachers arc fre
quently to blame for urging children to
study beyond their strength, this mls
tnko would appear to be, In a measure at
least, In consequence of Ignorance of the
limits beyond which the delicate organ
ization of the- growing child should not
he urged. Tenchers themselves appear to
need moro thorough education In hygiene
and physiology, as well as In physical
training.
On tho other hand, there Is no queUlon
that they are often far less to blame for
pushing their scholar too fast than tho
parents, and, In some cases, the children
themselves. The giving of prizes and
maiking tho scholars competitively so
that tho spirit of rivalry and emulation
H excited U distinctly had; and as this
has apparently always been a prominent
feature of our public school education Its
evil influences are everywhere apparent;
although fortunately the pernicious prac
tice ot inciting scholars to do well for
tho sake of surpassing their colleagues is
now being superseded; publishing graded
marks giving prizes, etc., having been so
largely abolished. '
Now, however, Jho parents and the
children are cqnstantly menaced with the
fear that tho latter will not be promoted
at the end of the year, and If any one
fails of promotion ho fears that the fin
ger of scorn will be pointed at him, and
his parents act as though they feared a
loss of social prestige If their offspring
should ho set back a year. It seems
probable, however, that the baleful In
fluence of parental vanity can be mcas
ureably overcome by appeals to reason
and moderation. People must be mado to
understand that It Is no disgrace If their
children are not so strong nor so recep
tive ns their neighbor's child. It will be
an Immense gain when tho parents shall
bo mado to understand that tho mental
vigor depends largely upon tho bodily
health.
Dy taking thought wo cannot add a
cubit to our children's Intellectual stat
ure.sany moro than we can to their bodily
stature. The child's mind must not bo
stretched to lit tho system, but his Intel
lectual capacity must, be carefully
weighed and measured, and ho must take
that place in tho graded school which
ho Is capable nf filling.
Amongst others, Edward Everett Hale
has recently Inveighed against "tho
mechanism of tho public schools." But
It must bo borne In mind that tho pub
lic schools aro fulfilling .a great func
tion in trying out and classifying their
scholars, Hard ns tho system may seem
to be In certain cases, it Is, on tho whole,
n good and beneficent system; although
it may seem needlessly harsh to tho par
ents nf weak and dull scholars, still It
must be admitted to ho a great and last
ing advantage to ascertain the mental
and bodily limitations of every scholar
as early, as possible nnd upon this foun
dation to proceed to build up his educa
tion In the most judicious manner, In-
BU'UU U! t-ullllUIUIIIIlK uuu iiiiiuiaumzmg
tho teachers, parents should co-operate
with them, by carefully watching their
children, and by conferring with the
teachers they can ascertain whether the
former aro working up to the limit of
their strength or beyond It, or whether,
on tho other hand, they are slighting
their work, This I am sathfied, only com
paratively fow parents do systematically,
and much of the dissatisfaction which Is
expressed against the school Is really the
fnult of tho parents; nnd, furthermore,
tho bitterest and most vehement com
plaints como from parents who really un
dentnnd ieust ubout tho matter.
My own experience, and I presume (hat
of others also, leads to the conqlusion
that tho school woijc bears much harder
upon girls than upon boys. While there
are. so fur as I know, no available sta
tistics relating to tho point, I dare say
thai no one will dlsputo this assertion.
Admitting, for the lako of argument,
that It la desirable and proper for girls
to go through our public grammar and
high schools, and to take the same
courses as the hoys, iiow uro we to pre
vent ine injury to tneir neaiin winch
many of them sustain whllo doing this?
Whjlo the 'question is a difficult one to
answer, its great Importunes will pre
sumably lend Interest tq certain sugges
tions upon the subject.
In tho (list Dlmce. lrl nave A da.
elded handicap ns compared to boys, by,
reason of their greatly Inferior physlcnl
equipment. Professor Pierce, of Philadel
phia, once snld, In my heating, Hint Hie
strain of tho lilqli-nchool examinations In
til town ordinarily showed Itself In the
resulting Inlury In llm teeth of tho school
Rlrlsiwherens tho boys, Interested In base
ball and out-of-door sports, showed no
dentnl decay at examination time. This
to my mind Is n striking proof of tho
fact that the girl aro working moro be
yond 4Liir striiigtli thnn the hoys, br
causo if, this regard tho two sexes can
bo fairly compared, whereas tho snylng
that 75 per cent, of school glrlM iiiffer from
menstrual Irregularities, whllo sufficient
ly disheartening, does not allow of com
parison with boys. HcoIIohI nnd chloro
sis nro much moro frequent In girls thnn
In boys, nnd In many Instances, no doubt,
are thu evil results of over work and bnd
hygiene during school life. An old sur
geon of wide experience nnco told mo
that ho had foil ml that fractures did not
unite as favorable In girls ns In boys. A
recent writer has tuld that of tho chil
dren who outer tho hospitals for physi
cal defects In, I bcllove, Boston, hnrdly
5 por cent, are hoys. All theso statements
tend to show that girls aro much weaker
physically than boys, And thnt their moro
frequent break-down In school Is to bo
expected; provided' tho same amount of
work Is required of both.
Is this physical Inferiority Inevltnble?
Or can we so prepnro nnd trnln our fe
male children thnt they shall bo as hardy
as their brothers?
This question opens a wide field for dis
cussion Into which wn cannot enter now,
except to point out tho obvious fact that
If girls aro to go through tho samo
courses of study as boyj, It Is only fair
and right that they should have as good
a preparation. Instead ot being turned
nut to piny In the sun bnre-footod and
bare-legged until they nro eight or ten
years old, women begin their earthly pil
grimages with tho samo handicap that
they bear to tho end, viz.. n. novcr-censing
unremitting, all pervading care for their
clothes. As soon ns they can understand
tho meaning of language, they aro
warned not to soil their clothes. They
nro mnde to look pretty, nnd aro set up
to ho looked at from infnncy upward.
Their natural physical indolence and
timidity uro augmented In every way by
precedent and training. Fortunately, many
of the older girls play goir ana do things
to develop their bodies, but the physical
well-being of llttlo girls Is criminally
neglected. It Is In these early years that
they must acqulro that muscular and
nervous tone which should carry themj
safely through the storms of puberty
nnd the fierce grind of tho public school.
Can they acquire it at all? The question
I nn exceedingly Interesting one. Until
llttlo girls, as a class, get the same out-of-door
llfo that little boys do, wo cannot
say whether they will develop tho same
nervous resllency or not, and without
such experimental knowledge, generaliza
tions on this head must be more or less
conjectural.
From observation on the lower animals
thero seem to bo little difference In en
durance between the sexes. The squaws
amongst our native Indians have nearly
as much onduranco as the braves, and,
In many cases, apparently moro physical
strength; so far as known, these women
escape neurasthenia nnd the other
troubles peculiar to their sex. It Is only
so-called civilized women, amongst which
tho Chinese should ho Included, whose
dress, habits and training so markedly
hamper them In doing their part in tho
world, whether as students, workers, or
mothers. AVe must begin tho physlcnl
education of our women earlier and mako
It more thorough, and we must dress
them differently all their lives If they aro
to have anything like an equal chance
with men ns workers, or If they are to
como anywhere near fulfilling their pos
sible destinies.
It is just as true now as when Lysnn
der said It "that tho fate of a nation's
prosperity depends upon the bodies of
Its women." and It is Just as true that
perfect bodies can only ba produced out
of good material by the utmost care; and
lastly, let it never be lost sight of that,
with a few exceptions, which aro moro
apparent than real, a sound mind cannot
exist outside of a sound body.
