Election day, Nov. 4.
On second thought, we shall not re
ply to Mr. Tories:'. Our readers know
our views and also his on the subjects
mentioned In his letter of Saturday,
rtepetitlon would serve no useful pur
pose. New York for Roosevelt.
HAVING within a month box
ed the compass on the sub
ject of New York's exnedl
piit attitude toward the
Jtoowevelt presidential boom. Senator
Plait on Saturday took counsel of com
mon sense and callPd a conference of
representative Kninlre state Repub
licans. The conference was held in
secrecy In a private residence remote
from the ordinary gathering places of
politicians: It was attended by the two
Vnlted Slates senators, four congress
men, a number of state assemblymen,
the chairman of the state committee,
the chairman of the New York county
committee, the state's representative
on the national committee and a num
ber of other gentlemen high in the
party confidence and esteem; and when
the smoke of discussion had cleared
away It was announced that President
Roosevelt , would be indorsed at Sara
toga, next week as the logical nominee
two years hence. Corporate Influence
had locked horns with popular feel
ing, and popular feeling had carried
the day.
This was In New York, mind you:
the abiding place and stronghold of
the great financial Interests wliose evils
of over-capitalization and monopolistic
tendencies Theodore Roosevelt set forth
to correct. It was a result achieved
in the face of Senator Piatt's publish
ed statement of a few days before pre
dicting that the question of endorsing
a candidacy for the presidency would
not arise. It was decided upon In spite
of opposition from elements anxious to
visit vengeance upon Roosevelt for
some of his actions while governor:
and it was a dose unpalatable to every
thorough-going machine man in the
conference, because there isn't one
among them who does not think in the
bottom of his mind, that Roosevelt Is
making a serious political mistake In
offending the big contributors to the
party campaign funds.
It illustrates what public sentiment
can do when aroused.
The 15th of the month Is hero and
with it no signs of the predicted set
tlement of the strike. It is question
able If those prophets fit high position
who have worked up unfounded hopes
have benefited even themselves.
The Law as to Arbitration.
IN VIEW of what bus been said,
pro and con, about additional
legislation in tills state looking
to the adjustment of differences
between capital and labor, it may be
of interest to many to know what ma
chinery our laws already provide.
Whenever differences arise between
employers and employes in the mining,
manufacturing or transportation indus
tries of the commonwealth which can
not be mutually! settled to the satis
faction of a majority of all parties con
cerned, our statutes makes It lawful for
t'Itliir"party or for both parties Joint
ly t make application to the court
of cpjuuitm pleas wherein the service
Is tfl" ho performed about which the
ilspulo has nt'lsen to appoint and con
stitute a board of arbitration to cou
. lder, arrange 'and settle nil matters
m vttVianee between them, which must
lie fully set forth In the application;
BUchTj application to be In writing and
signed nnd duly acknowledged before a
prop'er officer by the representatives of
the persons employed as workmen or
by ho representatives of a firm, In
ilvldiial or corporation, or by both, If
the '.application Is inadct Jointly by
tli1;iwtles; such applicants to be
citizens of the United States; and the
laltiappllcatlon shall be filed, with the
recoKl of all proceedings had In con
lequinee thereof, among the records of
ialdourt,
When the application, duly authenti
cated has been presented to the court
3f common pleus, It shall be lawful for
uUflft-ourt, If in Its Judgment the said
ippllcatlon allege matters of uuflt
;Iun" importance to warrant the In
.erventlon of a board of arbitrators,
in order to preserve the public peace
Or promote the Interests and harmony
)f labor and capital, to grant a rule
on each of the parties to the alleged
jontroversy, where the application Is
made jointly, to select three citizens
jf the county, of good character and
fcmlliur with all matters' in dispute,
to servo as member!) of the said board
of arbitration, which nhnll consist of
nine members, nil citizens of this com
monwealth! ,iib soon as the paid mem
bers tiro appointed, by the respective
pnrllcR to the IbsUc the court shall
proceed at once to nil' the bonrdMy
the selection of three persons from the
citizens of the county of welt known
chnnteter for probity nnd general In
telligence, and not directly connected
with the Interests of either party to
the dispute, one of whom shall be de
signated by the snltl Judge ns presi
dent of the board of arbitration.
Where but one party makes appli
cation for the appointment of such
board of arbitration the cotlrt shall
give notice, by ot'der of the court, to
both parties In interest, requiring them
each to appoint three persons ns mem
bers of said board within ten days
thereafter, and In case either party re
fuses or neglects to make such appoint
ment, the court shall thereupon fill the
board by the selection of six persons
who, with the three named by the other
party In the controversy, shnll consti
tute said board of arbitration. Full
authority to compel attendance of wit
nesses is conferred upon the board.
Each party In turn shall be allowed a
full und Impartial heating and may
examine experts and present models,
drawings, statements and any proper
matter bearing on the case, all of which
shall be carefully considered by the
said board In arriving nt their con
clusions, and the decision of the said
board of arbitration shall he flnnl nnd
conclusive of all matters brought be
fore them for adjustment.
It has been held that this plan of
arbitration is defective In thnt it pro
vides no penalties for violation of Its
provisions. The absence of penalties Is
undoubtedly a weakening Influence; but
would not tlie publicity incident to such
an arbitration, even If there was a lack
of machinery for the enforcement of Its
award, constitute an Important aid to
pence, through Its educational value on
public opinion? We should like some
day to see It tried.
The latest Piatt prophecy is that
Roosevelt will bo endorsed for 1904.
We are inclined to think that this
prophecy will materallze.
Crime in Russia.
TATIST1CS published by the
ministry of justice at St.
Petersburg roveal the start-
. ling fact that there were S.C91
murders committed In Russia within a
year, or at the average rate of twenty
each day. Russia Is an enormous coun
try with a large but relatively sparse
population. As in no country in the
world Is murder so prevalent, so in no
other nation is this crime so brutal or
seemingly so devoid of motive. Another
peculiar feature of the statistics of
homicide In the dominions of the czar
Is the fact that a terrible percentage of
these violent deaths are perpetrated by
women, with bloodthirsty premedita
tion. There are many causes contributory
to the prevalence of murder in the em
pire. The first naturally coincides with
Its immense area and population. Rus
sia Is Inhabited by 125,000,000 semi-barbarians,
for the most part, stretching
contiguously from the Arctic ocean to
the Mediterranean sea and front the
Antarctic to the Paclllc. In this vast
territory thfi people, so diversified in
race, religion and habits, have yet
scarcely at any point attained the
sociological development of western
Europe dining the Jllddle Ages, or that
instructive submission to the restraint
of law and public opinion which is the
sanction of morality and the security
of order In more advanced countries.
The Russian codojpf criminal law
does not provide for capital punish
ment, except In the comparatively rare
instances where the assassin can be
identified with the Nihilists, or whose
crime Is believed to have been Insti
gated through political motives. The
consequence Is that In Siberia there are
roving bands of murderers who have
either escaped from the penal colonies
or who have received conditional lib
erty. J n the island of Shakhnllu out of
a convict settlement of three thousand,
two-thirds are murderers, many of
them having two or more slayiugs to
their account.
The Russian inoujlck Is neither a
vicious nor a revengeful peasant, but
he Is fearfully ignorant and too fre
quently a drunken sot. If he is bent
upon murder he sets about encompass
ing his ends with the phlegmatic de
liberation that he goes to his field to
hoe u row of corn, If a woman is tired
of her husband, she kills hltn with us
little compunction as the new woman
files a suit for divorce. And It Is prob
able that murder In Russia will con
tinue to increase during the process of
(itlinie, religious nnd political assimi
lation of the eastern and western divis
ions of the empire. The Russian gov
ernment consistently nets upon the
principle that the social criminal should
subserve the economic exigencies of
the state, it Is fur otherwise with the
political exile. lie is assumed to be the
enemy of the czar and the bureaucratlo
Institutions upon which the nutocracy
rests. From the Russian government
standpoint, he is an anarchist and is
treated in and out of prison as such.
Too much Importance should not bo at
tached to the atrocities alleged to be
practiced on the convicts at Sakhalin.
The Russian penal system Is In many
respects far more enlightened than any
other In the world. If political exiles,
men of education nnd patriotic aspir
ations, cannot adapt themselves to it,
It is part of the penality which con
spirators pay under nil forms of gov
ernment, for failure.
In ten years our foreign shipping de
clined -10 per cent. It is the duty of
American statesmanship to see that In
the next decade this decline Is checked
and, if possible, overcome. This can be
done by ship subsidies.
The Colombian revolution will have
hearty American approval so long us
It lets American Interests alone. Rut
should It step on American toes, look
out for trouble.
The present scarcity of monty be
cause of the great sums required to
effect the movement of western crops
Illustrates anew the need of n revision
of our disjointed currency systtni. We
can never have the full limit of pros
s
perity In this country until wo get a
currency system capable of responding
automatically to exceptional demands.

A decline In our exports in eight
months of $8,000,000 ns compared with
the same period a year ago adds force
to McKlnley'B famous last plea for re

INFORMATION.
Many have noted the great Increase in
the colored population of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Chester and other points near
the southern borders of Pennsylvania. An
explanation Is found In the hostllo legis
lation of Maryland, Virginia, South Caro
lina, Mississippi and very recently of Ala
bama. In tho latter state the registration
has just been completed to meet the lat
est constitutional requirements, nil aimed
at negro disfranchisement. This regis
tration shows 183,000 white males quall
lled to vote, or one In six, while but 2..YH)
colored men may vote, or one to SV0. In
Macon county, with n mujoiity of colored,
the home of Booker Washington's great
Tuskegeo Institute, but K! colored could
register. In Mississippi the proportion Is
even worse. The South, through political
oppression, Is driving away Its labor, and
soon Its fields of cotton will luck pickers.
Pennsylvania is the first refuge of the
oppressed, hence the unnatural Increase
so easily traced In many towns nnd cities.
It Is difficult to Imagine a section which
could play worse politics than this. It
preserves a solid .Democratic South, but
It also augments a solid Republicnn
north. It Is a new form of sectionalism
prompted by the rankest political Injus
tice and oppression. The registration of
the South is decreasing; that of Pennsyl
vania neer increased so fust. In Ches
ter city alone over ii.OOO has recently been
added to the colored population.
The number of railways In the hands
of receivers on Juno "0, 1901. was V, a net
decrease of 7 as compared with tho year
previous. The roads under receivers op
erated a mileage of 2,497.14 miles, or about
one-hundredth of tho total mileage. In
cluding tracks of all kinds, the aggregate
length of railway mileage Is 2i;."i,uCt.29
miles, classified as follows: Single track,
195,570,92 miles; second track, 12,S4.".42
miles; third track, l,l.".:t.9U miles; fourth
track, STCIU miles, and yard track and
sidings, Sl.9l9.8ti miles. These are owned
by 2,a"i7 corporations, which uso 39,."!l en
gines nnd l,r7),S33 cars. On an average it
takes 202 engines and 7,92t! cars to equip
1,000 miles of line. One passenger locomo
tive on an average carries during Its life
iift.fitl passengers and travels 1.701,005 pas
senger miles: while one freight engine
hauls 47,092 Ions of freight 0,4:!9,7.:(! ton
miles.
The latest and most trustworthy Infor
mation concerning the gold output In tho
Klondlku comes in the shape of a report
made by Oeorge II. llees for the Cana
dian Manufacturers' association, a copy
of which has been received by our stato
department. After a thorough investiga
tion of prospects In the Yukon territory
Mr. I fees presents a very gloomy outlook
for the prospectors who nro ciowdlng lnt
the territory. The total yield of gold last
year in the Klondike, was $21,000,000. Tho
production this year, according to the
government estimates, will not exceed
$14,000,000-a falling off of nearly one-half.
No new discoveries have been made for

Some observant persons assert that
sugar Is the unerring index of a nation's
prosperity. If that bo true, then the
United States was tho moat progressiva
country lust year this world bus evor
looked upon, Tho per capita consumption
during 1901 reached OS.4 pounds and a to
tal consumption of 4,741,020,000 pounds.
The highest previous per capita consump
tion was (16.3 pounds during 1S9I, If mo
lasses nnd glucose ran bo classed with
sugar, the consumption last year would
amount to SO pounds per capita. Tlieso
stUlstlcs are certainly thought-food for

Congressman Hepburn, who Is taking
nn active part In affairs In Iowa, has a
campaign argument which Is unanswer
able, and which substantially makes good
t)io Republican claim that "prosperity"
reigns. In tho county in which Congress
man lifpburu resides, one of tho local
banks made n statement recently to the
effect that tho Institution held Individual
deposits of county residents nlonc of
2,GOO,ooo. A bit "of calculation showed
that this wits equal to n deposit of $110
for every man, woman nnd child In the
county. Thnt certainly looks llko pros

WHEN ABBEY DRAWS.
When Abbey draws, tho roses cling
About gray walls; old taverns ling
With Jest and song; ,tho brown ales flow
Quaint old-tlmo maidens laughing go,
And gay-dressed gallants have their lllng.
Abovo green lipids the sky-larks sing;
By liver's brim the willows spring,
And daffodils and daisies blow,
When Abbey draws.
A touch of pen. and George Is King;
The stngo conch comes with lurching
swing,
Tho travelers shout, their faces glow;
Ah! those were merry times I know;
We get Life's sweet without its sting,
When Abbey draws.
