Not a Permanent Mistake.
IT FUKQt'KNTIA happens that
employers will reenjjnlKe. eon
tract with nnil confer freely with
the representatives of one trade
union while most emphatically declin
ing to have anythlntr to do with another
union professing the tume general
pollele. Is this lo 1' accounted for on
the basis of mere caprice or are there
anions; modern labor unions fuiula
Jiifilital dilfeieiices irreconcilable by the
men of keen judgment who administer
the laifre btf-lness enletpilses of the
country'.'
The late Frank Thompson, president
of the Pennsylvania Itnllroad company,
once told the editor of the Philadelphia
J-edKer as that journal announce, that
no well managed railroad company
could afford to employ sl man who was
not a member of the Locomotive Kn
Klneers' ami Firemen's unions, as their
fiuallflealions for membership were so
exacting as to the character, sobriety
and expert elllcleney of the applicant as
to render their membpts th" best and
most desirable of employes. That opin
ion, we believe, is now held RrenoraHy
by railway umiuiRers. A similar opin
ion obtains union;; certainly a majority
of publishers with refetcuce to the In
ternational Typographical union and
most of the other oiK-mlzatlons of
workers in the printing trades. Jinny
other unions have established it to n
deforce that employers doing business
with them would be the llr.-t to reiu'et
their disappearance or decay. To say
that thete Is any longer In this country
a formidable repuKiutr.ee or aversion
ainonit employers to collective hurgnln
ItiK over work and wngos is, we believe,
to misconceive, the truth.
P.ut It is the very fact that the
unions we have mentioned strive more
to upbuild character, sobriety and
elllcleney anions: their members and to
win by these appealing means than to
expand their jurisdiction anil Increase
their authority by displays of force
which Is accountable, in our Judgment,
for the larger measure of their per
jniineut success. . mistake often made
in this country Is to overvalue personal
shrewdness and cunning or aggressive
force and to undervalue the duller but
safer "homely virtues" which have their
origin In the moral law. Hut in the
nature of things It Is not a permanent
mistake.
A little while ago It was Secretary
Hitchcock whom tlio newspapers, or a
part of them, were trying ,, minor
out of tho cabinet; now it is Secre
tary Shaw. Next:
Rev. Hugh Prico Hughes.

anil significantly less, would be under
taken, Hugh I'rice Hughes was not what
might be called nn eloquent preacher.
He had, Indeed, little of the rhetorical
'range of a Sptitgeon or a Henry Ward
needier. He was far and vny too
absorbed n politician to be merely it
theological Interpreter of the lllhlo. lie
thought rightly that mall's salvation
will largely take wire of Itself it his
moral and social Individuality Is In
harmony with the nobler aspirations of
his fellow men. Vet Ills rcllglotiM life
was as deep and vital us was his socio
logical enthusiasm,
As a Journalist Hugh I'rice Hughes
was as conspicuous a success as In all
other matters of consequence lo which
he put his hands. Some fifteen years
ago, feeling dissatisfied with the relig
ious press of the denomination to which
he belonged, he established the Metho
dist Times and made It n phenomenal
success 'from the start. It has reached
u weekly circulation ot some two hun
dred thousand copies or more. Ho said
unhampered, what he wished to say,
In the rorclble and Informed style
which was as striking! Individual as
his own personal characteristics. He
called things by their names. He had u
mind of his own and he never hesltntcd
to show It upon occasion. He may not
have been always right, but If he had
one trait above another It was sincerity.
Such men make for human advance
ment and their death Is a loss lo human
society.
H W not yet decided whether the com
missioners will continue their Inquiry at
Fcranton or go to some other part of the
coal legions. As a matte;' of fact, the
Inquiry nilulit Just as well be concluded
at gcr.'intoii as ebewhere. Wllkes-lJnri
Record.
In view of the fact that evidence is
evidence, wherever produced, and that
of the coal region cities our own 1ms
by far the best accommodations for an
Inquiry of this character, It would. It
seem-? to us. be eminently appropriate
for It to be carried to a conclusion In
Scranton. Certainly the peaceable
commingling of the recent belligerents
on one of the fields of battle has a
dramatic and an educational value of
decided local benefit a, value which
would not be so apparent in New York
or Philadelphia.
Kins and Kaiser.
-w-HK VISIT of the Emperor of
(lermany to King lvlward
demands little activity of
the imagination to impart
to tlio occasion momentous political
significance. The case Is simply this.
Kvor since the close of the Boer war
the Ciermun press has studiously re
frained from irritating British national
susceptibilities. So far from this le
iissuriiig the average Englishman that
the German Is his friend as well ns
kinsman, he has argued himself into
the belief that flermany Is awaiting for
his commeiclul downfall, If not actively
preparing to participate In it when the
time has arrived for Hie dismember
ment of his colonial empire. The Eng
lish press generally, and particularly
the 'National Review, has been busily
and emphatically Inculcating tills ap
prehension. The kaiser is well aware
that the press hi England cannot be
muzzled, that Its judgment.-, right or
wrong, are the spontaneous expression
of the beliefs of its writers, and that
what it thinks today England believes
tomorrow.
Vi'heu the Briton examines his politi
cal conscience, he asks himself why It
Is that Germany Is making so many
and great financial sacrifices to build a
navy which shall equal, if not eclipse,
ills own. Her colonial possessions arc
unimportant; her maritime commerce,
though steadily Increasing, Is relatively
Insignificant compared with his; her
seaboard is shallow and narrow, her
defensive barriers are on the land and
not on the sea. Surely the emperor is
not building' a great licet to act as a
supernumerary auxiliary to his mag
nificent army. The writers who pro
pound this thesis are growing every
day more numerous and dogmatic, and
their prognostications the more cred
ible, They point to the rapid develop
ment of ihe Herman Heel, the Weldl
polltk speeches of the emperor, and the
growing consciousness of the rienuan
people that their future Is upon the
sea can have only one meaning for
them their possible, or even probable,
downfall as an empire.
There Is a growing feeling in Eng
land Unit her natural ally Is France.
Their commercial and territorial Inter
ists in tho Mediterranean are com
patlhle with a definite alliance. AVhy
should Ureut Britain, It is asked, wish
to Impede Russia's advance to ihe sea
either on the Pacific, Ihe Persian Utilf,
or even on the Oardanelles'.' llc.v In
evitable destiny Is to Issue sooner or
later fi'oiu her coutlueutal barriers at
these three points. Nothing will or can
slop her. She has played the part of
Prometheus bound long enough. She
will inn always, or perhaps for very
long, remain nn autocracy, Her pollt).
nil cliialielpatldll will tiuqtlt-sliouuhly
follow upon her maritime delimitation.
England, France and Russia in a triple
alliance might defy the world, if not
dictate to It. The lieruutii emperor Is
by no melius Inclined to regard such a
combination as chimerical. Some of the
lu'si minds In England, France and
Russia deshe It. It gratifies liberal,
minded Russians that nil understanding
with England would be the means of
overcoming tho existing national apathy
to tlio overwhelming necessity of con.
stltutlon.il reform; It would salve the
wounded republican Instincts of those
Frenchmen who are tumble to reconcile
the doctrines of the revolution wih
those of an absolute czardom; it would
once and for all for Englishmen lay
the bugbear of a .Muscovite conquest of
India.
At bottom Ihe English arc a senti
mental race. It Is perhaps on the whole
their most characteristic trait when
probed. The e mperor knows them thor
oughly, is he not, In fuct, nearly one
ot them? When he talk about his
grandmother,'' lie knows ihrtl lie Is
touching n soft spot In the henrtf tit
the subjects of his "dear 1111010." Politi
cal advantage are cast lo the wind
when those touches of htlinnn nature
Rritlidlliiqtiently Improved mid ctuptut

jealousies appear brotherly Inve.
I5y all accounts the wholesale nt
leinpt of the Trades Assembly of
Hchclicolndy to Institute a reign ot
icing Boycott In that town has proved
abortive. The boycott thundered In
the Index only lo fall to pieces lit the
main text. Tho Intelligent atld conser
vative worklngmcn of Selu-noulady, of
whom theio ore thousands, would not
stand for It. A number of the unions
have already called special meetings
and disavowed nil responsibility for or
sympathy Willi It, and It Is reported
that the architects of It will soon pro
nounce lis funeral oration. The Inci
dent Is both Instructive and Inspiring,
for It shows that the thinking men
among oigatils-ed labor are coming to
the front again.
m
Jlrs. Eddy ndvlses that' "until the
public thought becomes better ac
quainted with Christian Science the
Christian Scientists .shall decline to
doctor Infectious or contagious dis
eases." This certainly puts it up to
the doctors.
m
It Is evident that his friends and
fellow townsmen do not agree with
Paul Kruge'r's estimate of Secrelai'j
Chamberlain. "Brutnmagen Joe" Is n'n
exception to the rule that a prophet is
not without honor save In his own
country.
If the slaughter of game Is not very
large, the presidential hunting party
can at least congratulate themselves
upon having outwitted the sensational
newspaper concspondents upon their
trail.
The' news from South Dakota indi
cates that Jlrs. Jlollneux may nlso
have an ambition to shine In the the
atrical world.
The acquittal of Mollne.ux seems to
have draped the orb of the handwriting
expert In deep mourning.
We are again reminded that a little
learning is a dangerous thing on the
foot ball field.
There does not seem to be room on
the same orbit for Jlr. Gonipers and
Mr. Shaffer.

Tlie gos'iTiimeut of Mexico exercises a
somewhat paternal control over the do
ings of its merchants. Each town keepi.
a register of all mercantile houses In Its
conduct, giving full particulars ot thu
rtrm or corpuiatlou property, how held,
etc.
Each merchant Is obliged by law to
keep at least three books, namely u book
of Inventories, day book and ledger. No
eraauirs aro permitted, The books must
bo hulaucod annually and show all obli
gations, They must also sdiow exactly
what money the merchant draws out tor
his private use, A penalty of not less
than $39 or moid iliifii $300 is Imposed for
failure to keep books In the manner
prescribed.
Jlcrchunts mo also required lo pub
lish, through the pres, the class ot busi
ness, wllh its essential circumstances,
oto.; to record In the public registry all
documents concerning their business
which the public Is Interested In; to keep
strict and accurate nceouuti, and to pre
serve correspondence for ten years' which
affects tliclr business.
Persons who have been condemned for
offenses uguinst property, Including foi-
gery, embezzling und conspiracy, cannot
engage In commerce. s
Ilusiness fallurei are rare, not exceed
