Consul Monaghan, reporting from
Chemnitz, on the working of the com
pulsory industrial insurance laws Of
Germany, says the statistics of the i'm
perial insurance office show that insur-
ance legislation, if not all that it ought
to be or that its friends would wish, is
nevertheless a great source Of satisfac-
ton to legislators whose highest aim is
to give labor no good reason to complain
of the government. During the past
year 27S,777 persons We're insured in tie
accident branch and 239650 in the in.
valid and old age branch, i. c., were
participators in the benefits. Thus,
within 10 years after their establish.
mcnt, these funds arc furnishing means
Of decent existence to over 100000 per-
sons--one per cent of the population
when incapacitated from work either by
injury or old age. Of course, were
these funds not in existence, many Of
those enumerated would get support
from the communal poor funds, but it
would not be given and received as a
right, but as charity, and, while many
could not be helped, each amount would
have been the merest pittance. ] Aegreat
advantage of the State insurance is that
it is given and received as right, no
shame being attached to its acceptance.
The communea have gained, the burden
once borne by them now being borne
by the manufacturers. This is best
seen in the accident insurance statistics.
Here the manufacturers paid all. In
1855, the first year in which trades
unions participated in accident insur-
anCe, 2,00O,0OO marks was the sum paid
out, against 3s,OOO,OOO marks lover
$9O0O,00O in 1888 Besides, the reserve
funds, expense OF Investigation. arbitra-
ton, maintenance Of offices, pay
men. Of physicians, clerks, ISG.,
must be considered. Since 1885
the circle Of accident insurance has
grown larger and larger. Manufacturers
alarmed at its increase, have begun to
cry out. They claim tina: they cannot
go on competing with other countries
that have no such insurance, Legisla.

These funds are far from satisfactory

It is mistake, explains the Boston
Herald, to assume that Judge Colts de-
NAL of the application OF native Of
Japan for naturalization in this country,
and consequently, for citizenship, in
any way applies to the Chinese Exclu
sion act. The decision has no bearing
whatever on that act, and relates only
TO the status Of the japanese under our
naturalization laws. The fact is realized
that this is not the first time that II
United States court has been forced to
follow Congressional intent and precc-
dents which were against justice. In
the bred Scott case it was decided that
the negro had no right 10 any privilege
which the government did not see fit to
grant him. The negro has since been
endowed with certain rights which were
then denied him, and the change was
brought about largely by the influence
of the bred Scott decision. Let it be
hoped that Judge Colts cxpounding of
the law as it affects the japanese in this
country may lead to the erasure Of
another blot On our statute books.

nothing in this prejudicial to the wool
grower. For years the government
bounty to which he was supposed to be
entitled through tariff legislation has
been Diminishing quantity, until it
has now dwindled entirely out of sight.
The laws Of trade have proved mightier
than the artificial barriers raised by the
protectionists. Since the elimination of
tariff taxation in the Mckinley bill, the
price of wool has been declining. 1t
would be easy to explain now, in the
light of experience, why this has been
so; why over-protection has over
reached itself and lessened the home
demand for wool until the price Of that
staple has reached a free trade
basis and American wool is actu-
ally being exported to England
for sale in competition with the woods
of other lands on free trade footing.
1t has gone down as low as it can get,
and 1t has fallen under protection, not
under free trade. Any change, there
fore, in the price of wool, as a result of
pending legislation, must be upward,
and, in the Judgment Of many we'll.
informed men this will be the result of
the stimulation of our languishing
manufacturers which will follow the
settlement of the tariff question. With
free wool, our shoddy mills will again
become wooden mills, and the American
wool grower will reap his share Of the
benefit in the increased demand for his
product which will enhance its value,

A Chicago paper tells story Of the
dedication OF the Worlds Fair buildings
which may be apocryphal, but conveys
practical lesson. 1t is to the effect that
conspiracy was organized for an
Anarchistic coup ut the dedication cere-
monies, an inkling of which fortunately
came TO the knowledge of the police de-
partment 1t was learned that two
women had volunteered to convey
bombs to the root Of the Liberal Arts
Building and to hurl them thence into
the vast crowd assembled for the dedi.
catory exercises. On this Information,
the chief of police summoned before
him three acknowledged leaders of the
Anarchists iii Chicago, and told them
that If within a specified time they did
not provide him with satisfactory assur-
ances that the contemplated assassina-
ton had been abandoned, orders would
be secretly issued to the police to shoot
the three leaders at sight. The warning
had its effect. Within the stipulated
tine the assurances demanded We're
given and the threatened peril aperted.

Without regard to the merits of the
controversy between the striking Pull
man workmen and their employers, we
look upon the sympathetic boycott in
stituted by the American Railway Union
against the Pullman cars as piece Of
foolishucss savorlng of dog-days mad
ness. Any one with half an eye can see
that such u boycott is bound to fail, rs
it should. What have the railway com
panies of the country to do with the re-
lations between the Pullman company
and its employees? What have the men,
women and children who travel in Pull
man cars to do with tho wages paid by
the Pullman company to the ioiners
and painters and upholsterers engaged
in manufacturing those cars? What
has the American Railway Union,
for that matter, TO do with
q strike in manufacturing estab-
ishment? This senselcss boycott may
cause sonle temporary Inconvenience to
railroad companies obliged by their con
tracts to haul these cars, but the cars
will be hauled of course, and those who
attempt ID stop them will only get them
selves into trouble. Sympathetic strikes
and boycdtts are unpopular at their best
If they have any best-but to under
take to tiisarrange and obstruct the rail-
way service Of the country and TO dis
commode thousands of people who have

troversy is the very worst policy the

responsible for bringing about this boy
colt they have indeed good reason to
pray for deliverancc from the friendship
of the American Railway Union.

Massachusetts, has inaugurated State
policy of road improvement. The Leg
islature of 1893 established highway
commission, and the Legislature Of the
current year has supplemented this
enactment by appropriating 100000,
which appropriation is to be practically
increased to S375,0Oo by provisions re-
lating to local levies, for the construc-
ton of estate roads" The manner of
procedure for the establishment of
State highway, under the law just
enacted, enables the commission to take
action, either upon the petition OF
county commissioners, the mayor and
aldermen of city, or the selectmcn Of
town, that the commonwealth take
charge of either new or all exist.
ing road in the territory under
their Jurisdiction If the commission
deem it expedient, it may lay out,
construct and maintain such road as u
State road. Such construction Is TO be
done by contract, in accordance with
/ DAOlpstllo lllttNiJ III Vic usual IL
is provided that the work of construc-
ton shall be fairly apportioncd among
the several counties, and that not more
than ten miles of State road shall be
constructed in any one county without
the approval Of the governor and Coun-
Gil. 1t is desirable, of course, that the
lines for these State roads shall be de-
termincd with reference to ultimate con.
tinuity along natural courses Of
travel between centres of popula-
ton. The Boston Herald suggests that
this legislation should be supple
mented by effective restrictions as
to width of tires Of vehicles using
the improved highways, as it would be
a waste of money to permit road sur
faces made smooth and hard at much
trouble and expense TO be straightway
cut up and destroyed by hcavlly.loadct
