A Just Appeal.
IT 13 AXXOUtfCKD that the Freo
Hospital for Poor Consumptives
will ask the legislature to pass,
during tite coming term, a. bill
appropriating .$800,000 for tho enlarge
ment and Improvement of tho sani
tarium at White Haven. Tho contri
butions to its general fund during the
year front February '2S, .1001, to- March
i, 1902, amounted in all to $21,711.30.
Out of this ,flft,y; beds ,for. consumptives
.were maintained. In Philadelphia, while
100 beds wofo' kept open in the sani
tarium at White Haven. With the $300,
1)00 which it hopes the leglMnturo will
Krant, the hospital proposes to extend
.the White Haven sanitarium and if
possible establish similar sanitariums
throughout the state.
Those who attended the recent leo
rture of Dr. Knopf In this city nml heard
briefly .an account of the work of tho
;Vhlle Haven institution will approve
anost heartily tho proposition of exten
sive state rt,ld.; It la estimated that
throughout Pennsylvania 15,000 deaths
from consumption occur annually, a
jnorlnllty rate which can be reduced
Immensely by tho isolation of con
sumptive patients and their proper
treatment. It Is among the poor, who
are without the means to secure proper
treatment, that the disease Is most
prevalent; and It, therefore, is .a duty
which the state owes, alike to human
ity and to the public health which is
jnenaced by the unchecked presence of
such a prolific source or infection, to
prqvide libgrully for the 'treatment of
these .afflicted poor.
By nil' means let lite commonwealth
hearken to this just and urgent appeal.

THBRE HAS recently been con
cluded at the Columbian
university in Washington a
ttotabift series of lectures by
' O. P. Austin, chief of the Federal bu
reau ot statistics, upon the commercial
nchievenients and posslblltles of the
"United States. They read like fiction
but have the substance ot fact.
Mr. Austin's first address sketched the
international commerce of tho world dur
Sng the last century, which he said had
Brown from Sl.500,000,000 In 1800 to 'M,
(100,000 in 1900, while population was in
creasing from about 600,000,000 to l.r.OO,
000,000. This romakable growth of com
merce was due to the application of
Fteel, steam, and electricity to trans
portation and communication, by which
the Interior of the continents had been
ripened up and exchanges between coun
tries and continents facilitated.
The second address traced the growth
of the foreign commerce of Urn United
States, from about $100,000,000 or domes
tic exports and net Imports in 1S00
to over $2,000,000,000 in 1900, a gfowtli
which had brought the United States
to the head of the world's list of export
ing nations. This position he predicted
jt would maintain through Its power
to produce- all tho great requirements
if man's daily life.
Tho third address told of the slory of
the growth oC tho Internal commerce
of the United States during the cen
tury, which hud developed with tho
growth of tho transportation, system?)
turnpikes, canals, und finally rnllroads,
and had grown front $2,000,000,000 In
vril'ue in 1850 to $20,000,000,000 In 1900, or
Uunjcli'lii 1000, us- the entire foreign
commerce of .the world.
!JTh6 fourth lecture, on the commerce
of" thfjf, Atlantic during tho century,
Hlwtched tho great experiments with
die steamer, tho screw propeller, tho
steel-' vessel,' u'nd tio submarine cable,
and tho uid which they hud boon to In

;ommerco carried on the Atlantic hav
ltig grown from about $1,000,000,000 In
lSOO to $12,000,000,000 in 1000,
The .fifth' address related to tho com
merce of tho Pacific, which hud chlcily
developed since China und Japan op
ened their doors to trade Jn the first
half'.uf the centtry, and now tho com-incHip-rif
thesethl-circlo of Pacific coun

istence qf a great circular current of nlr
und water (lowing westwnrdly from (ha
Isthmus of Panama past the Hawnulun
and Philippine Islunds, thence, north
wardly past Shanghai and Yokohama,
nttd thence easterly across the North
Pacific" to our Western coast, gives our
vessels especiul advantages in crossing
that oceun in botli directions. Tho factj
also that the United States la a laruo
consumer oC the proilticta of ttte Orient
and ri inr-jro producer of tho manufac
tures and foodntuflts required In that
part of tho world explains, the! fact that
our tradr with tho Orient Is (steadily
and rapidly Increasing nrid muat con
tinue tn Incrcnue,
Tho sixth and closing address dis
cussed tho rapidly Browing demand of
tho temperate zones for tropical pro
ductions, the tropical Imports of tho
United States nloneVimountltif? to $1,
000,000 a day. Mr. Austin miggestcil

Oriental labor where native labor Is In
sufficient the tropics may bo made to
contribute their proper share to the re

kets developed In those sections ns

Increase.
Contemplation of such figures Is in
spiriting and their widespread dlscmlu
ntlon Is In every way desirable.
That in splto of labor troubles Helton
cctady Is booming Is proved by the hoi
Iday Issue of the Gazette, comprising
twenty pages of eight columns each,
and filled to the brim with signs of
rushing business. This one-time som
nolent Dutch town has become In re
cent years one of the Uvellsct spots on
tho map and a vital monument to the
policy of protection to American Indus
tries. How Long?
FOlt T1I13 past ten years there
has been a Wrong demand
on the part of tho American
people for tho further regula
tion of Immigration, so that Us unde
sirable elements, which have been In
creasing rapidly in recent years, might
be excluded. There bus recently been
given in the anthracite coal fields a
frightful object lesson teaching the
need of halting the influx of uimssim
Uable aliens.
In response to this demand, bills to
regulate immigration by an illiteracy
lest 'have four times passed the hout'o
of representatives and three times
passed the senate, since 1895, only to
be defeated. In one case this defeat
was due to hostile amendments, which
caused a presidential veto. In the oth
er cases influence emanating from the
steamship companies was used to
frighten certain members of congress
nnd dissuade them from voting for tho
bill.
In the present congress, a bill (II K.
12199) was passed by tho house on Iny
27, 1902, the illiteracy test having been
added to the bill on May 22, by a vote
of SG to 7. The same bill was favor
ably reported by the senate committee
on June 23, 1902, but the same Influ
ences which had previously worked to
defeat the measure prevented Its pass
age last June, and are endeavoring to
secure Its defeat now.
in the first session of the present
congress, 5,082 petitions for tho further
regulation of immigration were sent in
to congress, of which 4,414 were for an
educational test. Only 22 petitions
against such legislation were sent in.
How long are the American people
going to stand dictation from a few
corporations, who are willing to injure
our body politic and lower our stand
ard of living for the sake of tho steer
age rates from undesirable immi
grants? It is probable that Sir Thomas Lip
ton will furnish nil the English boats
that will be engaged In warfare with
the United States for some lime to
come.
Rals Their Salaries.
Ol
i OP -the really pathetic pas
sages in the recent annual re
port or the secretary of war
relates to the fact that tho
conditions of the service as well as Its
traditions make It difficult for thopnost
frugal officer to make his financial ends
meet. The unwritten rule of tho war
department Is that an officer shall not
engage In business enterprise for him
self. If he has no rich relatives or wife
ho must live within his pay. Vet Ids
associations for the greater part, and
especially at posts, are with persons of
means and culture and every year
makes greater the demands which ha
feels called upon to meet. The result is
that economy Is becoming a line art In
tho military arm. Secretary Itoot thus
reflects It:
"The frequent changes which are nec
essary for tho olllcurs of our small army
and the very grent distances which they
are obliged to travel, often niuktt an
order for a change of station work
really great hardship by requiring the
ofiicer to pay tho cost of transporting
his furniture above tho limit allowed by
law us a charge upon tho treasury. Tho
tlctcrloriittlon of tho furnlturo by fto
qttent removals Is also great. I think
it desirable that tho same course should
bo adopted for .ollleers of the army
which Is followed by the navy us to Its
ofileorrt who occupy public quurtors on
shore, and thnt tho government should
supply the heavy furnlturo for otllcers'
quarters, The government, buying tho
furnlturo in largo quantities, could get
It at a very much smaller first cost
than tho officers can; tho furniture, re
maining permanently in tho sumo quar
ters, would depreciate much less rap
idly titan when It is moved about from
post to post, and the cost of transpor
tation, which Is now paid partly by tho
government; and partly by the officer,
would bo altogether bared. The saving
to tho nlllcer would undoubtedly inukn
it practicable for him t pay a moder
alo rentnl to tho government for the
use of the furniture sufficient to con
stitute n renewal fund and perhaps to
reimburse tho original expense, I hope
that tho subject will receive tho favor
able consideration of congress."
One might suppose, while reading
tills, that the United States treasury
was so deficient in funds that it would
be necessary to practice tho most rigid
and parsimonious economics in tho
government's relationship to Its army,
What congress Hliould do, In view of
tho "greatly Increased recent reunite
meats exacted of army ofllcers, Js to
pay them what their services ate
worth, It the man who digs ditches or
shovels coal for a corporation Is doomed
by public opinion to bo entitled at this
time to advanced wages, surely the
class of men who hold human lives In
their keeping and who are expected In
times or stress to do military mid civil
work of the most exacting and labori
ous character conceivable, as well as
full of peril, are not less worthy of
mora pay.

I
XASMUCH ns Cuba can buy ma
chinery In Kttrope at 10 to .10 per
cent, cheaper than In tho United
States, with lower shipping rates,
quicker delivery, and longer terms of
payment, It Is to our Interest to weld
Cuban trade to ourselves by a rnlr
measure of reciprocity. Consular Clerk
O. H. Murphy sends from Frankfort un
der date of Xovember '., 1902, tho follow
ing translation from the Merlin South
American Outlook:
"Tho transfer of the Ponrl or I ho An
tilles from Spanish ownership to the con
trol of tho American Union has not, dur
ing tlie past year, exerted any Injurious
effect upon Kuropcnn tiarlo with the
Island. On tho contrary, the Cuban de
mand for German wares Is, judging from
tho figures for 1901, considerably increas
ing. In tho years 1S9." to 1S97, the annual
exportation to Cuba from Hamburg
amounted to between 2,000,000 and n,000,00
marks ($17i:,000 nnd $T1I,000); In 3S9S, it was
1,700,000 marks ($40l,C0u): in 1S'.I9, G.flOO.OO)

($2,001,(0')); and In 10O1. 30,200,000 marks
($2,427,GflO). The needs of tho Cuban mar
ket arc exceedingly varied, Hamburg ex
port stntlstlrs showing that 121 different
kinds of merchandise were shipped from
that port to Cuba last year. Tho impor
tation into Cuba, from Hamburg of rico
alono Increased In the past year from 1,
100,000 to 4.500.000 marks i$2il,N to $1,071,
009). Shipments ot other articles in
creased as follows: Malt, from 00,000 to

Ts it wise to let the trade of Cuba
slip through our 'lingers for the want
of that measure of reciprocity which
our Intervention justly entitles Cuba
to expect?

The "Szabadsag" (Liberty), the larg
est and oldest of the Hungarian papers
printed in this country, has Issued a
special holiday number devoted espec
ially to the project of erecting in Bud
apest a monument to Washington,
through which means u demostratlon of
friendship for this country may bo
given by the Hungarians now resident
here, ns well as by many of those who
have not left their native land. The
funds for this monument will be raised
among American Hungarians. Tho Idea
is a fino one and we are glad to see that
It has hearty American indorsement.
Here is a significant extract from a
recent report of the American consul
nt Xewcastle, Xew South Wales: 'The
attempts of tlie federal prime minister
to promote preferential trade with
Great Britain have met with a cold re
ception by the business men, and all
are of the opinion that the federal par
liament will "make no move in tlie mat

are developing Into a sturdy people.

AN" UNSAFE CELLAR.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
It upepars that tho water-soaked ballot
boxes of tho Dimmorc precincts In Lacka
wanna county, involved in tho contest of
Congressman Council, of tho Tenth dis
trict, were placed in charge ol a justice
fit the pence, as tho law requires. They
wero stored In tho cellar of tho justice's
residence, and it Is evident from a state
ment In ono of the Scruuton newspapers
that the boxes were tilled with water de
liberately, and it had been run oft just
before the commissioners appeared to
take possession, so that when tho boxes
wero opened thorn was but littlo water
in thorn, though tho contents wero soaked
almost to a pulp. It Is declared that the
justice In whose custody tho boxes were
was as much surprised as anybody at
tho condition they were found In. If that
is true, his llrst business ought to bo to
get the authorities to help him find out
who had snob free access to his cellar as
to penult them tn till ballot boxes with
water and then run it ol'C again at a
critical moment. A justlco whoso cellar
is no better protected than that might
have his cider watered by soma miscreant
at any time. And that would bo some
thing really serious.
APOTHEGMS OF A JUDGE.
Apropos ot the recent death of Hubert
"Malcolm Kerr, who was for forty-two
years Judge 'of tho city of London court,
tho London Times quotes a number of
pithy sayings for which Mr. Kerr was
noted, for example:
"Xcver go to law under any considera
tion whatever. You had much better lose
your motley than go to law. As a rule.
It only puts money Into tho pockets of
tho lawyers tho very worst possible way
hi which money can he spent."
"Always put your bargains Into wilting.
Pons are cheap, ink Is cheap, and paper
is cheap. Peoplo contradict each other
so much that by and by every commer
cial transaction will have in bo reduced
to writing. When you go to buy a penny
loaf even, you will huvo to toko an order
for It In writing to prevent a contradic
tion arising."
"King David said In his haste. 'All men
arc liars.' if lie bad been hitting hero for
forty years us I have dono ho would have
said it in his leisure."
"If you havo u good case you nro safe
with a Judge. If you have it bad one, you
always huvo a chance with a Jury."
