TUB SOONER THE DETTER.
Whllo tho public at largo may havo
temporarily lost sight of tho morgor
nult, tlicro Ib no doubt that tho groat
financial Intercuts aro seriously dls
turbed over tho outcomo of tho con
troversy. Involved In theso cases Is
tho wholo question of tho lengths to
which combinations of capital may
proceed In tho development of busi
ness. Tho determination of how far
tho stato may oxerclso supervision
over franchises that havo originally
been granted by tho public will bo
fraught with vital conscquonccs. The
possible results of clthor a drastic de
cision ngalnst or a radical decision
In favor of tho combine prlnclplo are
matters which must necessarily bo
of great moment both to tho corpor
ations and tho people.
Tho Wall Street Journal ovldontly
npproclntes how much hangs on tho
outcomo, for It remarks significantly:
"Wu think that this enso will provo
to bo something of n turning point In
'American railroad history, and that
liowpvor It Is decided tho effect of Its
decision will bo soon to n vory notablo
vxtont In tho railroad map of tho fu
ture A decision In favor of tho
Northern Securities company will, In
our Judgment, Bet on foot a demand
for govornmont purchaso 'of .railroads
which Ib not unlikely to tnko a promi
nent placo among tho Important politi
cal IsdueH. A decision against tho
Northern Securities company will
moan tho Induflnlto postponement of
many llnanclal schemes, now undoi
ronsldoratlon, nnd will In all probabil
ity put a stop to tho stylo of financing
that has been so 'popular In tho last
two or throo years. In tho clrcum
r.tnnrcrf tho sooner that n decision can
lio reached tho better It will bo for
ovorybody."
COAL MINERS ARE UNDERPAID.
By Her. Rutua A. White, of Chicago.
Tho demand for better wages Is Just.
Coal mining In tho anthracite region Is
not only hard, but It Is unusually dan
gerous. Tho bureau of mine Inspection
reports 4,870 men and boys killed In the
last ten years. In 1001 -187 were killed
and 1,250 Injured. These fatalities left
230 widows and G23 orphans. For every
110,000 tons of coal mined In tho anthra
cite cool fields one man or boy la killed.
Two oro killed a day on tho average for
the working days of tho miners and flvo
Injured. Tho killed and Injured annually
In tho nnthraclto coal mines are said to
lib dsiit times as many as were killed
it? . u. a. mm. .,,41 yonnJej during our war with Spain.
It U more dangerous to mlno coal than to shoot Spaniards.
What arc the miners paid for tills kind of work? On an
average about $300 per year tho poorest paid labor, It Is sold,
In the Northern States. It has bocn figured that at $30 a month
a family of five would have, after rent, medical bills and cloth
ing were paid for, 14 a month for food less than CO cents a
day and not quite 10 cents a day for each person. How much
meat at present prices win iv cents a aay duj i
My sympathies, are with the miners because before tho
strike was called President Mitchell agreed to submit the mat
ter In, dispute to an arbitration board. ,Tho reply of the opera
tors was terse io the point of Inimlt: "There Is nothing to arbi
trate." Mr. Boer condescended to Inform tho public as well as
tho minora that "The rights and Interests of the laboring men
would tte protected and carod for, not by labor agitators, but
by the Christian men to whom God, in his Infinite wisdom,
had given the control of tho property Uterest of tho country."
President liner tears a leaf from the mcdlaovnl ages and
reads It to the free Americans of tho twentieth century. Ho
talks like some resurrected baron of a mediaeval Ithenlsh
castle. To name the I-ord as a partner In tho railroad and coal
motioiK)llcH of Pennsylvania Is a blasphemy which should not
go-unrebuked.
NEW YORK'S PROVINCIALISM.
'By nil means tho most Important
and sonsntlonal piece of news printed
lu tho American press Inst Wednes
day morning was tho announcement
of tho withdrawal of Spcakor Hondor
Ron ns a candldnto for ro-olcctlon
from tho Third Iowa District. It Ib

pllcablo as to Its motives and mo-
mcntoiiB nB n cloudburst In tho poli
tical campaign which U In progress.
And yet tho Now York nowspnporB
foiled utterly to appreciate cither Its
nntlonnl or Its howb slgnlflcnnco. Not
ono of them trentcd It as tho matter
of chief moment for tho day, ns It In
llkoly to provo through tho campaign.
Thoy were so busy putting "Tho Tri

TUBERCULOSIS IS CURABLE.
By Dr. H. H. Bias, new York' Health Officer.
Tuberculosis Is Infectious and communicable, but
a tuberculosis patient may live In the same room, for
days or yearn, with n healthy person without danger
to the latter, If proper precautions nro taken. The
chief danger Is from hncllll thrown out from tho
respiratory tract. In advanced cases as many (is
three thousand millions nro thrown out In a single
dny. They nro Inhaled as dtiHt, and lodge In differ
ent tracts In tho system. If conditions ure favor
able to growth they multiply there. Hut tho gen
eral Insusceptibility to tuberculosis Is very groat. It Is only
at certain time and under curtain condition that a largo pro
portion of persons arc susceptible.
Tuberculosis Is absolutely preventable and Its prevents
blllty Is simply putting Into effect slmplo rules of conduct. It
Is a question solely of scrupulous cIcanllm-M In regard to ex
pectoration and disinfection of surroundings which havo once
housed the disease.
It Is not only preventable, but curable It is the most Insidi
ous of all diseases. A specialist may declare no Indications of
It whatever and In a few weeks It may be manifest to any ono.
When there Is any 'question ono examination Is not enough.
Where a cough continues for mora than six or eight weeks,
in a large majority of cases, there Is back of that cough a
tuberculosis focus, When any oho talks to you about chronic
bronchitis and continued colds make up your mind that In a
majority of cases a tuberculosis focus Is back of It. Then is
the time to establish this fact, for then It U easily curable;
later It may not be. ,
In the winter and nt Trouvlllo and Alx In the summer, they
make life one unending debauch.
The Four Hundred In America tnko their cue from tie
smart set in Europe. Heboid them at the horse show In New
York. Behold them at swell resorts. Thcdr talk that Is, what
can be heard Is of bunds, puts nnd calls, horses, scandals and
dogs. The best society? Good Lordl
It Is true thnt we have come to a beautiful pass If simpering
Johnnies and tough girls are to be accepted even by Inference
as the best society, while the good and virtuous1 of the land,
even though 'quite able to pay their way at home and abroad,
must bo relegated to the middle class and dismissed as simple
bourgeoisie. The "400" are rotten through and through. They
have not one redeeming feature. Ail their ends are achieved
by money, and largely by the unholy use of money. If ono of
them proposes to go into politics he expects to buy his way,
and the rogues who have seats In Congress or forclgu ap
pointments to sell see that he pays the price. If one of them
wants to marry a lord she expects to buy him, and tho titled
rascals who wish to recoup their broken fortunes see that she
pays Cho price. Their Influence Is to the last degree corrup
tive. Their hangers-on and retainers are only such as money
will buy. Nine out of every ten of the fortunes behind thorn
will not bear scrutiny.
Most these unclean birds, of gaudy and therefore of con
spicuous plumage, fly from glided bough, fouling the very air
as they twlUer their affectations of moral supremacy, and lio
one to shy a brick at them and say, "Scat, you davits!"
DANGER OF INSTITUTIONALISM.
By Rt. Rey. Btahop Henry C. Potter, ot New York.
There is danger In. the tendency to In
stitutionallsm. Our danger lies not In
physical deeds, but In social degradation
and corruption, out of which comes ruin,
which lies behind these physical matters.
I would speak of Institutional chanlty In
this regnrd. On an Island not half an
hour's Journey from Now York arc 4,000
Insane persons under the care of tho
State, and these people havo not been
visited by any ono but the State commis
sioner for the last four years.
The force of the appalling fact Is mado
plain When I say that alienists nnd In-
sanltv cxnerts sar that one of tho most
WMior roTTKit. Important matters In the treatment of
the Insane Is that of environment. The menace of modern llfo
Is In tho growth of the surrender of the care of the sick, tho
maimed, thp Imbecile, to-Institutional vigilance. When men
come to be (ho care of the State In such vast numbers, it is
Impossible that there can be thnt note of personality consider-!
tho best medicine for tho sick man nnd tho insane man.

DEGCNLRACY OF NEW YORK'S TOUR HUNDRED.
By Henry Wmtteruon, Kdltor Loularille Courier-Journal
The term "smart set" was adopted by
society to savo Itself from a more odious
description. Tho distinguishing trait of
the "smart set" Is Its moral abandon. It
makes a business of defying and overleap
ing conventional rcHtrnlnts upon Its pleas
ures and amusements, Ileing titled after
a rule, and either rich In fact or getting
money how It muy, It sets Itself above
tiie law, both human and dlvluo.. Its
women are equally depraved with its
men. They know all tho dirt tho men
know. They talk freely with tho men
of things forbidden the decent. The
women of this smart set no longer nretend
to recognlxo virtue, even as a femala accomplishment. Inno
cence Is a badge ot delinquency, a sign of the crude and raw,
a deformity, which. If tolerated at all, must carry some prom
ise of amednicnt. In London and tn Paris, and at Monte Oarlo

SHOULD WOMEN WORK? 1HEY MUST.
By Mrs. 6. Alex-Tweedle, Chairman Int. Con. ot Women,
Most women work simply because they mut. In
using tho term "work," I of course mean working for
wages, for occupatlou urul work fall at every glrl'a
feet 'almost before she Is out of the nursery. The
house belongs to the woman, there she should reign
supreme;, but, alas, there arc cases where thore Is
no home, and then it is no use trying to shut tho
door'on woraeu's work. They aro atarvlng In thou
snda with it; they would starve in tens of thousand
without.
iVhose fault Is this? Oertalnly not theirs. It la no use to
cry out against women "flltlpg mou'f posts," "women working
for low wagoa," "unskilled labor," and all the rest of It. We
must go back farther than that, and discover the cause. It ia
uot far to seek,, nnd it originates with men. Fathers must
learn to provide for their daughters, however modestly, and
then this stream of women seeking employment without quali
fication will cease to exist. Do we not. all know families la
every walk of life, largo families where 'the mother's health
Is Impaired by the constant struggle to keep children tidy, to
make them behave themselves, to feed them, and keep thcra
well? Poor wornout mothers, literally overpowered with the
also of their families. Poor mothers whose health Is torn to
shreds In tho endeavor to drag up their children.
The boys nro educated as well as means will allow the
daughters have more or less to go without. Tho father hns
never realized his responsibility until too late. He hn not seen
tho accumulation' of expenses gathering ahead. He has not
beguu little lmnklng accounts for the daughters as they arrived,
and only when too late ho realizes the situation. He dies,
perhaps tho mother dies, too. There Is nothing left, The boys
can shift for themselves; there Is always something for them to
do; but the girls whnt Is to become of them? OlrU from 10
to 23 years ot age are left dally alone, unbefriended, Incompe
tent,' and obliged to seek positions ot unskilled labor.
It Is not the women's fault that they are unskilled. The
fault lies with the father. It Is not thro girls' fault that they
are ill-paid; It Is the employer who trades on their helnlesa
position. No, no; do not abuse women workers; abuse the mea
who leave them la such a position, with neither money, home
nor education.

During an carthiuake which recently wrought havoc in the Eastern Caucasaa,
causing a commotion that was felt from Ttllls to the Caspian Sea and from the
Caucasus to the north of Tcrsla, jhe town of Bchemacba was practically ruimd,
every prominent building being either wholly or partly destroyed, Including the
ltusifian church, the roof and cupola of which were turned topsy turvy In a singular
maimer. Photographs were taken of the various ruined buildings, among which
wrre seven niasqut", soon after the disaster, and the accompany picture was
found to be the most curious and the most interesting of all. Why the upper
part ot the church was leas able to hear the shock of the earthquake than the
lower part Is a problem which has not yet been solved.
