wm principles before the pnlillo lit hlyu
relief, from tin- day upon which, he 10
pigncri tlie spcaUuiKlilp until the hour
of ills denlh. And yet If we are to ana
lyz minuU'ly Mr. Heed's - career, wo
shall fail to find In It any extraordinary
or Indeed unusual marks of uoristruct
lvo or speculative statesmanship, llin
ranse of political vision was not very
wide. His Intollectual IiiHlght into
political and s-oelal problems was pon
derously solid, but not remarkably
perspicuous, lie did not tumble him
self very much about prospective re
sults, so loiif,- as tlif solution of the
tittestlon lie had in hand demanded
prompt and forcible immediate action.
Ills estimate of human nature, If not
very generous, was essentially just.
He cared HUlo for tilts sensitiveness
and self-complacency of the individual
in dealing with the crowd. If lie did
not regard the Ilotisij of Itepresenta
tives as an Inchoate mob, lie adopted a
relentless pedagogic sway os-er it which
was irresistible because he made no
pretense or bones about it. His atti
tude toward the house as speaker was
simplicity itself, yet only a strong man
with an abiding sense of his own pow
ers and confidence in his own person
ality could have assumed it and main
tained it as lie did, session after ses
sion. Tom Reed never said an ill word
of anybody, or perhaps thought an un
charitable thought of any human being,
yet he dominated one of the greatest
representative legislative bodies in the
world by a foreefulness of will and an
autocracy of discipline that pome con
gressmen openly declared to bo uncon
stitutional and tyrannous, and the most
complacent of whom found It to be
irksome
Mr. Iteed had no love of power for its
own sake. Ills resignation of the
speakership was as sudden as it was
unexpected. The country had coma to
look upon Tom Iteed and the plenary
dispensation of the chair as essential
to productive legislation. He might
have maintained that position until a
Democratic house was returned, at
whatever time the future has that con
summation in store for us. Mr. need's
private interests suffered whllo his
political ascimdancy was towering sky
ward. He was not rich enough to sac
rifice his professional prospects to the
dignity to which lie was elected and he
was not poor enough to have regarded
the salary nf his olilce ns a determin
ing factor in retaining the most Inilu-i-ntial
mid commanding political oillec
outside of the presidency to which a
citizen can aspire. What the law gulm-d
in leabsorblng Tom need, polities lost.
It Ij u topic of much constitutional
perplexity and altogether outside the
consideration of Mr. Heed's personal
ity, whether the speaker of the IIoid-p
of ltepresentatlvis shouia command
s-uch enormous practical influence in
that assembly in addition to liW nom
inal and ritualistic- functions. The evo
lution of olllcial llt'o proceeds upon two
linen. Pome great otlicc-s lose in Int'lu
eneo with time; others gain with it,
The govvrnlng prerogatives of the King
of England have lost almost every vestige-
of their original force. Even those
which they retain are almost useless
fiirvlvals. Tin.' Initiative of the pri-M-dent
of the United Htates, on the other
hand, has enormously luereaEod. at
lenst since the Civil war. The discre
tion of thij speaker of the House of
Commons is negative, or in its widest
scope moral; that of the speaker of the
House of Uepresentativcs is directly
and pervasively domliuitlua. Mr. iiecrt
did not I'tilarge the puiU'i's of the chair.
He stimulated those that were iv-cblo
arid lesttseltiited those tlmt wciu dor
mant. His pu'decessor.N luul had un
actly the sanui powers and hud lined
them only tentatively in th. tnim way.
Speaker Iteed breathed Into them the
breath of his own siiperubiuidlng vital
ity and seemed to creato what hu In
Diet simply ruvived. Ho never denied
?r disguised that ha was fundamentally
a partisan. Hu'dld not takj refngo in

gan's. Hut It Is not what's planned
but what's done that counts.
The announcement by tho Lacka
wanna Itullrottd company of a volun
tary Increasij In the pay of all employes
to ditto from December I Is gladsome
and cennoimblc news. Tho Lackawan
na has always been it liberal employer
of labor. Its rates of wages litivo com
pared favorably with those of compet
ing lines, and, moreover, Its Institution
of n pension rotltoment system for
faithful umploycM was a step l ad
vance of most roads In this region, tt
Is only fair, however, to say that Its
employes deserve all llicy get. They
are a splendid corps of servants.
Examining the Consequence.
-yHE NVw Orlctns Tlnies-Dem-I
noiitt, one of the Intelligent
JL and conservative Journals of
the Houlh, comment re
V.i ot fully on President lloosevelt's ro
cent letter defining the attitude of.
his iulniIiilstriillon with reference to
tin- appointment of creditable negroes
to federal olilce. It credits the presi
dent with honesty of purpose, hut dis
qualifying lack of dhi'ct knowledge of
the men proitileni as It exists In the
Houlh. After presenting the usual ar
guments why social equality between
whites and blacks Is Inherently Impos
sible, It proceeds:
"Now, It mny be said that civil lcc
ognlllon of the negro, as Illustrated In
appointments to Important federal of
llces, has little. If anything, to do with
social recognition. To this plea there
me many answers, and one certainly
that Is concluslv"; namely, that any
one who entertains such views little
understands the temper and disposition
of either nice. Tin- effect of such ap
pointments need not be concealed.
They arc always followed by resent
ment on the part of tlie whites and by
a singular manifestation of truculence
on the part of .the blacks, not always,
In tho latter case, by the- black ap
pointee, hut by the black race. A post
olllci' is not a private library; a custom
home is not a lady's drawing-room.
Each is n place of public business.
Tlie moment these olllces are occupied
by negroes they become a sort of cen
ter of magnetic attraction fur negroes
hi tin' community. The blacks instant
ly begin to imagine that the custom
hotHc or postolllce, in large measure,
belongs to them. The sense of pro
prietorship, carried to delirium, ani
mates the negroes. It is reflected In
their maimer in public places, In the
streets, mid wherever persons congre
gate. It lends to make tlumi even
more truculent than they naturally are.
It disturbs the- peaco of the romniutii
tty, leads to the violation of law and
costs the- whites, In the end, not a llttlo
money -not to speak of tho humiliation
they suffer. Ji retauls the progress of
both races. It defeats honest purposes.
It spoils well-laid plans. It makes the
more dilllcult and postpones the solu
tion of the race problem. Economical
ly ic is unwise. Ethically it cannot be
justilled."
The conclusion which the Ntw Or
leans paper reaches Is that the South
is the white man's country, that the
negro must for ages If not perpetually
remain an inferior and an object of
sufferance, gaining independence' only
as; he? wins it economically and then
having it only to such degree as the
superior race shall graciously allow,
and that olllce-holdlnsc muse In onr of
the privileges reserved exclusively for
the whites. If pronounces this ar
rangement the order of nature, which
man may try to change but will try in
vain. Notwithstanding constitutional
guarantees to the contrary, this is tho
airangement the recognition of which
it urges upon the national government,
and any other course, however honest
ly and benevolently intended, will, we
al e assured, wind up In disaster.
All of which may be fundamentally
true. Hut If this nation is to accept it
as true-, li should bravely face the con
sequences. One consequence arising
Inevitably from the southern premise Is
the necessity of putting our constitu
tion into confonnlry with it. It Is nut
good for a nation any more than for
an individual to lie a He. Another
consequence is the necessity of the re
adjustment of southern representation
to fit the baste of actual suffrage In
thii section. It Is pieposlevous to sup
pose that the whites uf one- part of the
country will forever remain willing
that the whites or another part shall
exerclsj a per capita voting strength
several times their own.
Schenectady has organized a i.'ltlsauis'
Alliance, the president of which Is Er.
Itayinoud or Tnlon college. May It have
length of llfo and strength of backbone.
Alaska.
THE president's recoiiinienda
tluii that a committee of
congress pay a visit to
Alaska in ordtr to become
familiar with that territory's resources
n ml needs is timely and should bo act
ed upon. Though li would probably
mean a Junket, the country would ex
cuse thai In consideration of tho Inci
dental bentllts.
Alas-ka, In magnitude equal to tho
whole of the I'nlted States oast of the
Mississippi river, has been a territorial
possession of this country for a period
of Umn. equal to more than half the
spun nf an average lifetime, and yet, In
this long Interval It has been all hut
neglected by congress. Although In
habited peimaiieiitly by more people
than Inhabit the states of Nevada and
Idaho, with their four votes In the
I'nlted States senate, Alaska han never
been allowed oven the scant justice of
a delegate In congress, a privilege free
ly vouchsafed to tho youngest of our
ttltraniarlno possessions.
In tho fertile Canadian northwest,
Alaska's natural rival hi attracting
Immigration, the homeseekur Is allotted
WO acres of laud upon homestead title;
In Alaska, where rich luud exists in
abundance in sheltered valleys, fairly
aching for the plow and harrow, the
homesteader can only get M) acres, or
only half that which Is alloted in the
states. The city attorns? of Nome,
who Is now lu AVushington trying to
induct congress to Rlve a little atten
tion to this subject, gives It as his be
lief that If homestead laws were to be
enacted for Alaska similar to those
which led to the development of the
Oregon country, within a year 50,000

persons Would bo attracted to the Yu
kon, Trttiana and Cooper HVer valleys,
where grow grows as high As a man's
head, every conceivable species of tem
perate isoiio vegetation can bo grown In
profusion, and tho soil Is so rich that,
In Hid language of Captain Wleseii of
tho United Htates army, "It would bo
sold by the pound us fertilizer If It
were In New York." In these locali
ties navigation Is open all tho year
round and the coldest weather In mid
winter is only 14 degrees below zero.
Sltltn, the capital, Is as warm us
Washington, V. C, one of Its draw
backs being that there Is not enough
cold weather lu winter to freeze Ice for
summer use! There are ''millions of
acres of fine land In the territory whero
homes can bo built and comfort enjoy
ed equal to any In tho states.
Alaska's cry for attention Is worthy
uf hoed.
The reason given by Mr. Lansing for
declining to become a candidate for re
corderthat his personal and olllcial
Interests might clash Is applicable In
some degree to every citizen. No man
worth his salt could work for tho city
for the salary tho city pays and bear
the unjust criticism attaching to pub
lic otllce-hotdltig without necessarily
sacrlllcltig and subordinating private to
public Interest!'. We do not think that
any reasonable sjerantonlun would
question Mr. Lansing's good faith. But
since he Is evidently In earnest in his
attitude, let the hunt for a man of his
character and ability proceed. Tho
ne.t recorder of Kcranton should be a
nun i equal to the Job.
There arc operators In the coal busi
ness who have been known to go back
mi workers who have stood by them In
times of trouble; but, without discour
tesy to the strike commission, we think
that .T. L. Crawford is not one of them.
naltishu A. (irow promises to con
clude' his long career in congress by
delivering a farewell address giving his
views and predictions regarding cap
ital and labor. It should be a speech
worth reading.
It Is one thing to propose and another
thing to effect a short session of the
Pennsylvania legislature. If Hrother
Durham chops It off In April he will
need a sharp axe.
IS MINING UNHEALTHFUL.
In Saturday's issue of the Jorunal of
the American Medical association ap-peiu-s
a long editorial entitled "The
Healtlifu'iiicss of Coal Mining," which
embodies a study of authoritative utter
ances and statistic''. The conclusions
reached differ from those indicated in
testimony before the strike commission,
Quotation Is madn. in tho article, from
Louis' "Dangerous Trades," the most re
cent standard woik, regarding the
healtlit'uhiess of mining hi England, and
figure arc cited showing that while tho
mortality of all males in Great llrltnln
during the years iSM-ie! was 1S.V4 per
l.UW. out of which t'.ST deaths were duo
to accidents, leaving 17.S7 per 1.000. due
to natural cauus; ret the mortality
among coal miners from all causes for
the samepeilod was only 12.S1, that due
to accident being given as 2.00, making
the death rate due tu natural causes only
10.:::. per l,f.i. Jt ohould lie said in ex
planation that English mines are gen
erally dry and the ventilation Is good.
The Join mil says there arc no cone;;,
pondlngly authoritative tlgures for Amer
ican coal mlneis, a circumstance certain
ly to be rot-retted; but from tho mortal
ity flirlhn.'S given hi the last census re
ports It llnds that mlner-i and quart y
liien included together lost by consump
tion less than one-tenth of their total
mortality, as against over one-ninth
among farmers and agricultural workers,
over one-eighth among profesisonal men.
merchants and common laborers, and be
tween ona-slxth and om-'oventli among
manufacturing employees. Their pro
portion of deaths from pneumonia was
about the same as agriculturalist and
common laborers, and rather greater
th:m among other classes of workers;
while thai from befit disease' and ills
onlois of ihi nervous system was among
the lowest In all occupations. Only In
accidental deaths does tho mining indus
try have n. specially had pro-eminence,
and here it Is exceeded by the railway
service, the per centage being St and :'!
respectively of the total mortality. Near
lj uiie-sevonth of tlie deaths of minors
are ai i!3 and over and more than one
fourth at over . ",. The conclusion
reached by the editor of tlie Journal Is
as follows:
"The facts collected from all available
sources seem to Indicate that tlie occu
pation of coal mining Is not either roln
llvelly or absolutely unliealthfiil as com
pared with the majority of other means
of gaining a livelihood, li 1ms Its incon
veniences and hardships and Is exposed
to spt'clal danger from accidents, but
these can be iiilnimlzid by proper cute,
appliance and legal regulations. Tho
special diseases to which miners are li
able seem also to be largely preventive.
Thus greater care In changing- tho
equable atmosphere of the mine to tho
extremes of heat and cold outside would
probably i educe tho pioportlon of respir
atory nlTiotlous, such as mtlmia, etc.,
that are now claimed to bo Incident to
Hie occupation,"
VERY MUCH RATTLED.
From tho Wlllifs-llarre Record.

frauds were committed in the interest
