Uncle MarU llmum. nulls tho reglfr

t'nele Murk mity die, hut he will nol re
sign. Congress.
-wXI'liCTATIOX of remarkable
1 results at this short session of
M -J congress should not rise too
hlph. The regular apprnprlu
tlon bills will occupy every minute at
the time which the session will have nt
its disposal, and If any broad proposi
tion of general legislation frets a heav
ing, it. will. bo by special grace ot the
ruling' powers and with scant probabil
ity of ilnal action.
No doubt there will bo a raft of prop
ositions for arbitration, suggested by
the coal strike. They will get on tho
calendar and place their authors'
names in print brlelly and that will bo
the last ot them. Then, too, we may
expect a deluge ot bills to regulate
trusts. 15ut that is a matter of delicacy
sulllelent to require separate and ample
consideration. It can never get due
attention in a crowded short session.
I Whatever the administration may urge
will bti simply in the nature of a
starter. The problem in its entirety
must go over to another congress.
The minority may be expected to ring
1 the vocal changes on tariff revision for
effect In 11101. That is evidently to be
(heir rallying Issue, the subsidence of
1 Populism and tho failure of anti-imperialism
and army abuse leaving nothing
'Ise. 15ut the talking will be all on one
' plile. The determination of the Re
publican leaders to attempt no disturb
ance of existing tariff conditions at this
'.Ime Is manifestly wise. Let well
iiiough alone is clearly the dictate of
irudeneo when well enough happens to
, f the most generous dispensation of
prosperity ever vouchsafed by an all
kind Providence to any nation.
In tho opinion of Secretary Itoot there
Is plenty of room at the top of the army
service.
Ambitious Canada.
GTtlSAT expectations are form
ing in Canada, and appar
ently with good reason, with
reference to the benellts to
,be derived from the new transconti
nental railtoad which the. Grand, Trunk
petjple five planning1 to build across the
northern part of the Dominion. An
idea of the vastness of tho' Canadian
northwest is conveyed in the fact that
,while tho lino of the proposed road in
general is .SOU miles north of tho
:Canadlan' Pacini',- it still is' only in tho
heart of the country and there is plenty
,of .room In tin. sweet bye nnd bye 'for
n third girdle of steel to scrape tho
fringes of tho Arctics.
Taken in connection with tho road
.thatthe Ciergue Inteiests- are building
from the Soo north to Hudson's bay,
which will, open to settlement an em
piro of great leitillty and possibility
which is now little mow than a- wilder-
ni;ssi this new continental project por
tends an era of remarkable develop
ments In the northwest corner of our
continent. Kconomically; this develop
ment will be welcome on the American
side or 'the border, since it means en

ity for adventurous Yankee home-seek-'rs
willing to brave the perils of fron
tier llfo nnd tho unpleasantness of ex
patriation pending the time when Can

In such n plight Is not merely tho vlu

misfortunes. If ho receives compensa

victims, Hut thcro Is no help for It.
Koot ami mouth disease Is as loath

It Iuib to be stamped out, regardless of
cost.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural
department, has Issued a sweeping
order In which the four states ot Ver
mont, Connecticut, Hhqdo Island nnil
Massachusetts are named ns New Kng
huul territory In which tho disease ex
ists to an nlnrmlug exteilt. Tho only
criticism that can be offered upon this
order Is whether It has' come In time;
whether, In fact, disease has taken n
westward turn, The olllces of the agri
cultural department are very vigilant.
Very lllllo happens of moment In the
agricultural world of which they are
not Inunedlatiiycognlnant, but foot nnd
mouth disease among cattle, lllto chol
era or smallpox In 'man, takes a short
but specllic time to germinate covertly.
The pathology of the disease Is a mys
tery; it Is altogether Incurable, while
the unaccountable rapidity with which
It spreads over widely Isolated areas
shows that Its germs are air-borne, The
only redeeming "feature In combatting
It is the universal acceptance of the
fact thnt only by slaughtering right
and left can Us ravages bo stayed.
If asked to name the fourth busiest
port In the world, who would think of
ipitnlug a lake port like Chicago? Yet
that would be correct. Chicago follows
London, New York and Hamburg in
the order of Importance and is, in fact,
really not far behind the foremost, re
quiting to gain only a little more than
one-seventh In her total tonnnge to
equal the tonnfrgc of London. New
York and London are nearly tied, and
it Is likely that a year or two will llnd
the American city In the lead.
A New Kind of Union.
A UNION of employes and em
ployers together is proposed
by C. "VV. Post, the Uattle
Creek philanthropist, and baa
been started hi Washington. Its princi
ples and purposes are thus defined:
First The widespread distribution of
reliable market reports, at least weekly,
of the labor market In the various cen
ters of America, .open alike to the In
spection of employer and employe.
Second All contracts between employ
er anil employe shull evidence! an agree
ment for tho piuehaso of labor and of a.
standard quality for a definite period
of time, six months or a year, perhaps
the periods of payment to be stated.
Third A deposit with tho treasurer of.
tho local union, -or with a designated
trustee, of twenty-llvo dollars or a satis
factory bond by the employer for each
employe, and a deposit .by tlie employe
of two cents on tho dollar every pay day
until tho total amount of the employe's
deposit Is twenty-llvo dollars or a satis
factory bond placed in the hands of the
s.-inio treasurer or trustee. These depos
its to stand for the guarantee of tho
faithful performance of the contract.
Fourth The employo .fihall have tho
light to discontinue work at nny time on
two days' notice if ho is dlssatislied with
his treatment or should become sick or
la any way incapacitated, or for any
reason whatsoever, with onu exception:
he shall not discontinue work for the
purposo of obtaining a higher rate of
wages during tho life of tho contract
and shall not Interfere in any way with
any other employe.
Fifth The. employer shall have the
light, to dismiss the employe if the qual
ity of the labor is not such as contract
ed for, or if tho employo becomes impu
dent, unmanageable, or for any reason'
whatsoever except one: he kluill not dis
charge the employo lor the purpose of
tilling his place at a lower rale of wage
during the life of tho contract, nor shall
he Interfere In any way with tho employe
securing work elsewhere.
Sixth Xo restrictions shall be placed
upon cither party regarding the pur
chase of supplies..
Seventh Neither employer nor employe
shall he a member of any federation,
trust, union or agreement which, by
combination or otherwise, seek to force
wages up or down.
Klghth Threo mouths after employe
ceases working both employer and employe-
shall be paid tho full amount of
the deposit fund, provided tho terms of
agreement have been kept. In case of
failure to keep such agreement the party
breaking same shall forfeit to tho other.
In the councils of tile union It is pro
posed that each employer shall have
one vole for qvcry employe member of
the union, thus Insuring full attendanco
iind a balance of power. This featuro
will never be acceptable tn men who
foment labor organizations for tho pur
pose of acquiring olllce and power. Hut
the Idea of closer fellowship between
employers and employed, uricl especially
the recognition ot the fact, so frequent
ly overlooked, that lhe.fr mutual Inter
ests exceed in Importance those Inter
ests of each which are hostile, as cm
bodied in ihe Post project, certainly'
are timely and 'worthy of encourage
ment. President Kruger has asked .permis
sion to return to South Africa. ils pat
riotism does not seem to ' be fervent
enough to bring happiness when sep
arated from his gold bars. .
Haytl.
IT IS OVICIt a hundred years
since tho republic of Ilaytl was
established by the visionaries of
the French revolution. The slave
was not only to be frea from the .do
minion of the whip of his master, hut
the lights of man were to bo conferred
upon him In all the plentltudo of their
philosophical acceptation, We must
noi blame tho revolutionists ton much.
They only forestalled on a small scalo
our policy toward tho negro after the
civil war. Wo not only manumitted the
slave, but, conferred, almost forcibly
upon hlni political prerogatives which lie
neither understood, appreciated nor
know how tn subordinate to
a, higher purpose than what
ho believed to bo his own
Immediate advantage, lie was not to
he blamed for this. Wo alone wero,
lensurable. Hut tho Southern negro
has always hail tho cuuntevaillng
weight to his crude and child-like Im
pulses of the white man's domination.
The Huytluu, on the other hand,
has been left daring u century
to his own unalloyed, unre
strained devices, unci a fearful and
sanguinary muddla ho has made ot his
republican opportunities.
A century, to ho sure, Is u very short
time In the history of any section of
the human race. The Ilaytlan Is In
some respects no worse than his con
tinental neighbors', with n. political and
social pedigree of tUnnun antiquity.
Nevertheless, the Itaytlan Is In a sorry
plight, lie Is growing from bad to
worse. His Ignorance of his own con
dition Is perhaps,"' on the whole',- the
most lamentable 'feature ot .his 'situa
tion, lie believes ho is the llnest fellow
upon earth, its, Indeed, lp Is the laziest,
dirtiest, mid for sheer 'egotism, 'the most
contemptlb'le. The il'lstance between an
average Carolina negro In ordinary ag
ricultural prosperity und 4 a Ilaytlan
negro with .the same relative opportun
ities,, can only be measured by the Im
agination. '
Haytl Is In a state ot chronic revolu
tion. There seems to lie no respite from
It. What tho liaytlnns are fighting for,
nobody on the fiicof the earth knows,
not even themselves. There Is tho pres
idency of tho republic, to he sure, but
ricneral Nord declares' he Is not as
piring to' that. Ho Is reputed to have
ten thousand men at his back. Wo
must, make 'many deduct tolin In estim
ating the effective force or this great
host. It Is sate tb say that ono-halC
are generals and general olllcers, and
at least an additional third camp fol
lowers, We do 'not know the mathe
matical proportion of General Nonljs
opponents; but it Is safe to say that
when Nord reaches Port-tut-l'iince,
there will be u. hot time In the old town
that night.
It is pitiable that an island
so fertile and mugnliiceiitly sit
uated should not have In store
for It u better fate than to bo
over-run every other month by hordes
of armed vagabonds, calling themselves
an army, eating up like a swarm of lo
custs every natural product that the
country produces.
One cure for hasty and Ill-advised
marriages, under consideration in In
diana, contemplates the selection in
each, county of a marriage board' of
live persons, at least two to be women
of years and experience, before whom
eveiy applicant for a marriage license
must make application nt least six
months before the license can be
granted. It is thought that the mere
interposition of so much time for de
liberation would without other require
ment do much to stop marriages
prompted by momentary infatuation.
It is possible that this plan may bo
accepted by the Indiana legislature this
winter. Its operation would certainly
prove Interesting.
The Piiblic Schools
of Porto Rico
IN TIIKSK days ot unjustillable criti
cism by tho few, not the many, of
the h.vst'em and work of tins- public
schools of the United States, it la
refreshing to turn to our new possessions
and see what a grand work in education
Is being successfully carried on by Amer
ican educators, who are, themselves,
products or the American public school.
Kor Instance, let uS seo what has been
done and is being, done, in the American
public schools of Porto Rico: This work
was ably inaugurated ;lu our "rich goto"
by Dr. Martin ii. Uriimbaugh, and Is
now under the successful care of Profes
sor Samuel M. Lindsay, of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.
Professor Lindsay's report for tho
fehool year ended June, 1M2. soon to bo
published by the National Uureau of
ICducatlon, gives us the de-ired Informa
tion very fully. The following is brlelly
extracted: Klght hundred and flfty
suven common grade schools were opened
during the year, exclusive id' kinder
gartens, night schools, and schools, nor
mal, high and. others, with work above
the eolith grade. The Increase In schools
hai been stcadv:
r.il in the war luiS-1S!fl.
::::: In the year I'mm-uhiI. '
SS2 in tho year V.ioI-I'.hc.
In tho last year WIS teachers were em
ployed, of whom 102 were Americans:::!!
wero women; lior, were men; ' Sifi." wero
white, and ":'. were colored.
Tho enrollment and attendance- show
up well. In March, 1!'2. -12,187 pupils
were on tho rolls, .mil the average at
tendance dining the entire school year
(nlno months) was K),MH. This is excel
lent and shows that Porto Hleo was
ripo and ready for American occupation
and American education. For some part
of tlie year at least, !'j,i!iu pupils camo
under the lntluenee of the rural and
graded schools.
In addition there were IT special
schools with an average monthly enroll
ment of 1.IM'. and a total enrollment
during the year of 2,7ii7 '.'' ot these wero
nltih- schools at which the otdluary
elenientary branches were l aught, ehlolly
to adults. This adult work Is most en
couraging as II Is productive of Imme
diate results hi good citizenship. J-'orty-nlno
teachers Were employed, of whom
Lit were Americans.
This brings tho total number of schools
for the year up to Dili, with 0S7 teachers,
or. whom Jill were Americans, and sr,i;
Porto lllcans.
Tlie cost of maintenance for the year
was $1120.000, of which ?W,()i) was paid
Iiv the 'Insular government, and SI20,nf(i
by local school boards. Again wi see
that the Porto Means are not only anx
ious for American education hut locally
willing to directly help' pay for It.
In addition to the ?.7w,u0ti towards main
tepimee, the insular government expend
ed In the year, SlTO.uou for the erection
of new school buildings.
Sluco American i.ccupallon (12 new
school buildings have been erected, aro
hi process of erection, or are projected,
many of them Imndi-omo brick struc
tures. This school year opened Sept, 29, 1002,
Willi nearly 1.2i schools provided Tor.
There will be L2i". touchers, of whom l.V)
will bo Americans. The Insular govern
ment has provided SiS".!) towards this
year's maintenance, Misht Intro wn
ought to note that the I 'lilted States is
lint being called qa tor a dollar towards
this Fcluml maintenance, In spite of tho
fact that -111 years Spain-ridden Porto
Itlco has been In business I'or Itself only
about four years, This speabs volumes
In favor or tho men wo have sent tbeio
to direct, from Oovornor Hunt down,
nnd for the Porto Means themselves.
The work of school extension anil school
erection is going on with intubated en
ergy. Three Indu.trlal schools will be
opened this year, onn of which will cost
WOO.
Sixteen ngilciilttirnl schools were
opened last year, and 70 will bo opened
this year. Tho teachers were specially
Instructed this summer by a graduate
of cjruoii uulvori-.lt y.
or the oullniiry rural schools them
will bo about CM. and about r.w of tho
graded.
For climatic ronuous. the American
teachers should upend their vacalloiih hi
tho United States, Now that there Is no
freo transportation, the expense neces
sary should bo added to their salaries,
which aro too low anyway.
Tho normal school fur the training of
touchers Is qullo siiccesKrul and will bo

mid women aro in regalur attembiuco
and it special summer school or 200 was

"The strategic position of the Island
