HURTING THEMSELVES.

Those Hungarians and Italians in the
Pennsylvania coke regions who are trying
to bring their employers to terms by using
dynamite cartridges to intimidate the
bosses, and by resisting with force the Off
GERS of the law, are simply speeding the
day when Hungarian and Italian laborers
will cease to come to America for employ
ment, as nobody here will hire them. 1t is
fast being impressed upon employers that
it is not good policy to hire cheap labor
which is unreliable and that it is mighty
costly business to hire criminals at any
price. The managers of some of the coke
companies have said since the strike
has been on that 1t would be much
cheaper to pay 25 per cent. higher
wages to reliable, trustworthy men than to
continue with these fellows who are never
contented and who are almost certain to
strike Just at the time when their going out
will be most annoying and most costly to
the employers. The operators will win in
the present contest, the foolish men being
forced into accepting their terms OF
driven out of the district. This result is
inevitable, as the struggle now is between
the state and the strikers rather than be-
tween the latter and the operators, and the
state will necessarily be victorious. And
yet, the triumph of the employers
will be an expensive one, costing the
companies more, as one of the bosses ex
presses it. than it would have cost II HooG

MOLTKE.

Germany has lost nothing in the death of
Count Won MoLTKE. There has been no
loss because his ninety years had put an
end to his usefulness as a soldier. He could
have served his country no more. Had he
died before, however, the loss would have
been great, for Germany, warlike as it is
and mighty as have been some of her war
riors, never produced q mightier captain
than the silent soldier whose stirring life
was so gracefully rounded out and whose
end was SO mild and peaceful Indeed
among the names of the foremost soldiers
of the world will always be ranked that of
MoLTKE, tie story of whose life reads like
a rugged romance. Coming of fighting
family, his father being a regimental Off
Ger, and his grandfather serving with dis
tinction, both as private and an officer, he
knew no other life than that of
arms; only during the final months of his
career was he anything else than an active,
earnest soldier. Before he was twelve
years Of age he was sent to Copenhagen
and placed in the barracks there, the
profession marked out for him being that
of arms. At the age of twenty-five he
entered the Prussian service as an infantry
lieutenant and from that time he knew no
rest and saw no respite until his years
made il impossible for him to be active. A
hiographer says, beginning with 1929:
The war had nearly ruined his parents, and
the young oficer was thrown entirely upon his

a GENTLEMAN of integrity and liberal in
his politics, a member of the British par
lament, states that when he first entered
parliament JOHN BRIGHT said to him ::
''You will find that there is no other man
in the house of commons who can lie as
Mr.. PARNELL can" That opinion was per-
haps not widely prevalent at the time the
keen observer saw it and so expressed it.,
but it has been corroborated less than a
month ago by the testimony of Mr.. T..
HEALY, M. P, who says: "Mr. PARNELL
is an unapproachable trickster, and not
only has he proved himself to be Hber-
tine and liar, but also cowardly sneak.n
And Mr.. PATRICK FORD, last month, re-
marked that "Mr. PARNELL has shown a
faculty for falsehood unsurpassed by any
man of this age.'' The honest Quaker was
r-seeing and true.

Mr.. Ross has given US very vigorous
story in this handsome and unique little
volume, the tale of the sudden fall of a
financial king of New York. The story
begins with the description of a magnificent
entertainment given at the speculator' 8
home the evening before the crash, and
tells of the fight, the travelling and the
death of the ruined man. The romance is
spiced with an entertaining love episode.

The INDIAN congress, which recently
met in Calcutta, deserves most considerate
attention. 1t is to be regarded as one OF
the signs of the times, as having been in
deed the most important gathering in many
ways of recent years. All parts of India
were represented, and among the languages
of the delegates the eight principal
languages of the empire were spoken.
Singularly, the business of the congress
could be conducted in no ore of the oriental
languages, for there was no one which all
| the delegates understood, but all did under
stand the English, and so the congress
held its sessions in that tongue. The dele
gates were about one thousand in number,
representing the finest scholarship of the
nation, much of its wealth and all of its re-
| ligions. There were Hindoo, Brahmin,
Parsi, Jain, Buddhist, Mohammedan and
Christian-the latter numbering about
sixty The purest of English was spoken
by the speakers generally, while some
spoke with macthless eloquence. Strangest
of all, several of the delegates were ladies
and one, high caste lady, gave from the
platform, unveiled, an impromptu ad
dress in finest English. Three hundred
millions of people in India will speak thu
English language in a few years time.

THE REVIVAL APPROACHES.

A special telegram from Denver in this
issue Of THE HERALD throws some light on
the Chicago dispatch of the other morning,
telling of the formation of a financial syn
dictate to purchase and improve Salt Lake
realty. 1t seems that the syndicate has
already begun business, it's first purchase
being the Perkins addition south of the
city, the price paid, as the telegram alleges,
being 100000.
In our opinion this is only the beginning.
1t is merely forerunner of what is to
come. 1t should be accepted as pointer
by our people. A year ago there oc-
Cured sudden collapse of the
real estate market. Prices did not fall, nor
was there too much "dirt" on SALE The
buyers simply stopped short. Owners held
on to their land, and having fixed upon
prices, in most instances maintained them.
There was reason, as we believe, for the
many times since. A new administration
had assumed control, and it was soon dis
covered that it was to be an administration
of incompetence, recklessness and extrava.
gance, if not of official theft and plumber
One of the first acts was to increase the
number of officials beyond reason and dou
BILE the expenditure for salaries. Then the
property valuation for tax purposes
was increased three or four fold
| Franchises were voted with de
gree of recklessness which alarmed
people. The community was amazed, anG
looked on in fear and trembling. Intend
ing purchasers held back. Within three
months from the day of the Inauguration
of the new council the real estate marke
had been paralyzed. The transactions hat
dropped from hundreds of thousands OF
dollars in volume every day, to a few
thousands. The alarm was on, and the
fright could not be overcome all at once. II
do this required time. The confidence which
had been broken was not easily restored
1t is notyet restored, although latterly have
appeared evidences of gradual gettin,
over of the scare which would have proven
disastrous to less stable city than this
Salt Lake is too well established, too firmly
grounded, to be seriously hurt; our ad
vantages are too many and our resources
too great. The check could be only tenn
porary. We believe the end of the "quie

and that from now on there will be brisl

CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONS.

The Pennsylvania legislature is in fair |
way to enact law providing that any Judge !
of law court in the state, who has served !
on the bench for twenty five years and who
shall retire either by resignation or because |
Of the ending of his term of Office, shall |
continue to receive his salary for the re-
mainder of his life. In answer to the OBJ
lection of awarding pensions to officers of
the civil service involved in this law, the
Public Ledger asks the following questions:
Why should the soldier whose profession is
readiness to serve his country in war time, and
who devotes his life to that profession, be more
entitled to pension than the judge, whose pro-
fession is the adjustment Of legal hostilitles and
the administration Of Justice and who devotes
the whole of his active life to that profession?
what equitable or otherwise rational answer
could he give why the lifelong fighter fbattles
should be preferred as the recipient of the pen
sion to the lifelong peace-maker?
The reasons why the soldier should be
preferred to the Judge as an object upon
which the nation may bestow its bounty,
or, in palmer terms, the reasons why the
veteran soldier should be pensioned while
the judge should not be, are numerous.
First, the soldier places his life upon his
country's altar, which the judge does not
If ne escape death, he is liable to mutila
ton by some chance shot or sabre thrust
involved in the service performed by the
! Judge. If the soldier escape unhurt in his
battles, there is the exposure to the blazing
sun of summer, the winler's frost and snow
and ice, the weary march in wind
and rain, slumber on the cold, wet ground,
often but half clothed and without rations
while, all considered. it is miracle indeed
if he escape without health or life being in
jured and constitution being broken down.
| None of these Incidents of food and field
come in the way of the judge Clad in furs
in winter, well housed, well fed, the Judge
escapes the exposure which is part of the
soldiers daily life. The soldier runs the
risk of losing life and limb and health, that
his country may live, for mere pittance,
with scarce enough remuneration to keep
away the wolf from the door of his home
while he is absent fighting his country's
battles; the judge is usually paid
well for his services and may
live in luxury; and if only
provident during his services of twenty
five years On the bench may have laid by in
store sufficient for his wants during the
evening of life, thing which is impossible
for the soldier to do out of the pittance
allowed him for his service. If the com
pensation of judges be not sufficient to
enable them to live with reasonable pros
poets to provide for the period of their
lives when service no longer brings its
rewards, better increase it than to burden
the state with civil service pension list

THE SPIRIT of manly self sacrifice is often
seen in our age, and in every place, which
inspires and softens our stern human ma
ture, and which we all admire, though we
may not be equal to the acts ourselves. An
instance of splendid heroism has Just &C.
CURED on the DeVonshire coast, England.

ever will my poor wife and children do if

claimed, Here, skipper, take this life

MUGFoRD acted on the advice of his skip

A FRENCH writer gives the following
graphic sketch of the modus operandt in the
execution of certain laws in Italy: The
representative of the government ap-
proaches the door OF convent and raps
a voice from within asks, "Who is therel"
The officer replies, THE delegate of the
government has come to take possession"
II am forbid to open to you" "But 1 am
commanded to enter" "Shan you use
force" Certainly; because come in the
name of the law" care you prepared
formally to declare this?" Certainly
The door is then opened and the commits
sioner received with all the respect due to
his position, taken to the parlor and served
with refreshments. The two together draw
up the necessary papers, and the whole
transaction is conducted with the utmost
decorum and suayity.

A TRIBUTE from an unexpected quarter
comes to BRADLAUGH. There have not been
many Archbishops of Canterbury who
would go out of their way to speak respect
fully of a prominent atheist; but few
weeks ago, at the annual meeting of the
Lambert Savings bank, the Archbishop of
canterbury, the highest dignitary of tie
Church of England, in commenting on the
report of the bank, remarked that, GA
gentleman had lately passed away, pollti
clan of remarkable power, with whom
most of them disagreed as much as was
possible upon many of the most important
things in life; bat will never forget that
Mr.. BRADLAUGH, with his intimate knowl-
edge of the people with whom they (the
banks) wish to deal, did in very strong
and powerful manner, in the face of a
meeting where there was great opposition
lay down the fact that thrift was the basis
of the things that were best in the econ
omy Of England. With that sentiment
most of the world agreed. No one could
walk through warehouses; (poorhouses)
without having it borne upon him with
the utmost force how much of the misery
of the most miserable years of men and
women might have been saved by very
little forethought, very little self-denial
years before.n Good for the good bishop |!

BUILD BETTER.

Everybody who is interested in the
experiences sense of regret when he sees
these cheap one-story business buildings
going up in tue very heart of the city, and
everybody ventures the opinion that the
proprietors are making a mistake. True,
it is nobody's business save the
owners OR lessees of the land; but then all
citizens have degree of pride in the ap-
pearance OF the city which is more or less
offended by the appearance of these struc-
lures. We say the proprietors are making
mistake, and suggest that if anyone
doubts this he may readily sat
isfy himself that the assertion
is correct. An investigation will show that
in every instance the money is best in
vested which is put into the best buildings
The costly structures which are slightly in
appearance and which have been con-
structed on modern plans, rent readily, and
at high figures. We know of one store and
Office building which was erected with the
idea that appearance and conveniences
would be paid for, which nets it's owners
10 per cent, on the cost of the land
and the building, the taxes, insurance
and other Necessary expenses being
paid Another costly structure returns IL
per cent, to the owners on the money in
vested. Of these two we happen to know.
1t is presumed that a similar showing can
be made as to others, as it is seen that the
better class of buildings are fully occupied,
while many of the cheap structures are
tenantless, and their owners complain of
dull times.
1t should occur to the owners that ground
which is worth from $500 to $500 a
foot frontage is too valuable to be
occupied by cheap one-story building,
and yet we regret to say that much of such
land Is occupied by such structures, and
more of them are.going up on the principal
streets.
Gentlemen, for the credit of the city and
for your own financial good, please stop
the erection of these cheap and unsightly
structures. They give the town a bad
name with visitors, they depreciate prop
erty in their immediate vicinity ,andthey are
a bad investment, as before the low rents
will pay for them they must give way to
buildings more in harmony with the sur
roundings, and in better keeping with the
value of the ground.

THE DEAN of Norwich, England, speak
ing in meeting about three weeks ago, on
behalf of the Ladies' Home Mission Union
of the Church Pastoral Aid society, said
that Canon PRETHERo, rector Of Whipping
ton, had told him that there was not case
of poverty or distress in the Queens par
ish that she does not know of. She visits
the poor, and although she is one of the
world, by reason of her responsible position
and the various functions of her Office, and
taking conscientious interest in everything,
her practical sympathy with suffering and
sorrow is manifested in her contributions
to the necessities of the case, and in her
personal yisitations at the homes of the
