CITY AND COUNTRY ANTAGONTSMS.

The isolation OF great cities, their want Of in
Hucncc In public affairs even for the defence
Of their own gravest interests. their frequent
antagonism 10 those interests which most pow
erfully control the action Of the people as
whole. and the general lack Of sympathy and
comprehension which makes II hard for city men
to guess the tendency Of public opinion and
purpose beyond the city limits have often been
observed with deep regret by the nblest students
of municipal problems They that when
the welfare OF the city most completely depends
upon understanding OF the public temper and
ability to anticipate IT, just then the great cities
are most prone to act IA il utterly In the dark.
and separated by wide oceans from the millions
whose decision affects municipal welfare. But
the causes Of this mental and moral isolation
are not often thoroughly considered
On the surface there are the wide differences
in customs, In habits Of display and fondness
for excitement and amusement, and In preva-
lence and federation Of vices, and to many these
things go far 10 account for a separation in
mental habits which borders on antagonsm.
Naturally direct antagonism does often arise
when legislation Is in question which restricts
customs especially tolerated in cities, and the
mind Is apt to attribute other antagonism po-
litical and financial. to this occasional cashing
between rural and civic habits OF life. But
there are much deeper causes.
The occupations Of men determine to a great
extent their mental attitudes. The cities are
the centres OF trade and transportation. The
greatest of all productive occupations, that OF
agriculture, Is omitted. and less than a third Of
the males employed in manufacture are to he
found in the fifty largest cities OF the country.
but 40 per cent OF all the persons employed in
trade and transportation In the fifty cities
nearly a third of all the males are so employed.
and, counting the assistants and servants they
pay, more than half Of all the males But out
side the fifty cities not one-twelfth OF the males
are engaged In trade and transportation, and
three-quartcrs in agriculture and manu-
featuring, the great producing departments. The
personal and professional class may he regard
ed. with respect to natural associations and
leanings, as divided In like proportion, 80 that
1t Is for practical purposes sufficiently accurate
to say that productive industry supports nine
tenths Of the males outside the fifty cities, and
trade and transportation only one-tenth. But
In the fifty cities trade and transportation sup
port more than half OF all the males
This involves tremendous difference In the
way Of looking at all sorts Of questions. The

THE SOUTH AFRICAN CRISIS.

More British troops are evidently needed III
South Africa. The Matabele revolt Is more seri-
ous than was ut first supposed, ana whiie ITO
desperate fighting Is to be looked for, con-
siderable force and some sharp work VIII De
rcourcd for the restoration Of order. The whoie
region from the Orange River to the ZamDesl
needs more thorough policing than 1t has now
especially since there are various anti-Brtlsh
influences at work provoking revolt whenever
and wherever possible Even in Cape Colony
and Natal an increase Of garrisons Will serve n
wholesome purpose. The anti-Britlsh party
there has been pcrniclOusly active OF late, ana
a visible reminder Of imperial authority would
be most timely, unless the Government at West
Minister is willing 10 let those colonies get into
the condition Of the Transvaal.
Mr. Chamberlain Is made Of different stuff
from the men who managed those affairs fifteen
or sixteen years ago. He appreciates the need
and he intends TO supply It, That he will be
deferred from sending troops to South Africa
by either the "bluffing' OF Paul Kriiger or the
tImorous rcmonstrances Of Sir Hercules Robin
son is scarcely conceivable. The latter gentle
man has not been so conspicuously successful
in governing the Cope that his counsel will
prove omnipotent. while as for the former, his
best possible reason for sending troops to South
Africa at once Either Mr.. Krilger is British
subject and President OF n British colony or
dependency or he Is the head Of an alien and
independent State II the former, he ought to
welcome the sending OF troops which are sorely
needed TO keep order in the territories abutt'ng
upon the Transvaal II the latter. he has no
more business to protest than the President OF
Mexico would have to object to our sending
regiment to Arizona to suppress an Indian out
break.
The fact probably Is that Mr. Kruser Is play
ing some deep game with which he fears the
British reinforcemcnts may interfere. great
lot of German soldiers and officers are being
smnggcd into the Transvaal, and arms AMI
ammunition from the same source There has
been much hobnobbing, too, between Dutch
leaders in the Transvaal. the Orange Free State,
the Cape and Natal, and some open threats have
been made Of general Boer revolt against Brit
ish rule throughout all South Africa. President
Krger may not be involved in any such plot.
But he must be cognzant OF It. and II he were
not in sympathy with 1t he would not resist the
taking Of measures TO thwart II. The time Is
apparently AT hand for deciding whether South
Africn Is remain British or to revert TO Boer
rule The problem can be decided In only one
way: bu, that will be accomplished the more
easily the more promptly the British Govern
mcnt takes hold OF 1t in earnest

for those National policies and questions upon
which the success Of productive industry de-
pends. But the bankers and traders are ex-
ceedingly apt to think that the money, which
Is the instrument they chiefly use and the I'M
mediate end of their efforts, is infinitely more
important The cities are apt to care much Tor
profits, but the rest Of the country more for
wages. The exctements and risks OF trades
tinge the whole life of one class, and keep ever
alive the feverish desire for excitement END
amusement The steady but sure results OF pa
tlent industry give different tone to the life
of the producing classes. 1t will be seen at once
that the resulting divergence extends to almost
all relations and issues, SO that constant want

LAST DAYS AT Albany.

The Legislature has only eight working days
Of Its session left according to the accepted pro-
gramme for adjournment on April 30 ms is
supposed to be as long a time as Is needed TOT
the completion Of Indispensable public business
and for carrying out various special arrange
ments, including the Greater Newiork DILL III
no part Of the machinery is thrown out or gear
by accident or design, there will probably be
little difficulty about getting ready for adjourn
ment at the appointed time and certainly the
people are not desIrous Of q longer session. III
is too late for the introduction of any new JoDs
Of large dimensions which would be sure 10
attract attention and require the forcing proc
ess to bring them to maturity; but there are
some mischievous bills already on their way 10
enactment which ought to be watched Closely
and It Is not improbable that others when nave
not yet been found out are only waiting TOT
favorable opportunity to slide through without
observation amid the confusion OF the last Few
days
There are members in each branch who can DE
trusted TO expose any trick which they detect,
whether money or the machine Is behind IL. Dut
there Is danger that they VIII not be alert enough
ot every moment TO see all that Is going on
We hone. however, that some OF them VIII make
n their special business to watch every Item or
legislation from this time forward to the end.
II is almost invariably discovered after adjourn
ment. perhaps too late to affect the action or
the Executive that bills have been passed when
nobody Is able or willing TO account for Ihey
are not necessarily bad by design; they may be
merely ill-considered, but that IS not very con-
soling when they are found TO be Irrational and
vexatious In the majority Of cases, moreover.
these unprecedented measures are as sly as they
are obscure. serving some selfish purpose, pri-
vate or political, and owing their adoption to
the secret activity Of manipulators who do not
work for nothing. These last days Of the ses-
sion are the hope and opportunity Of the lobby,
which always rejoices when some strenuously
contested measure like the Greater Ncw-York
bill absorbs attention We earnestly commend
this duty of persistent watchfuncss to the con
sciences Of members who are not only honest
in pecuniary sense, but who have no taste for
the operation known as logrolling.
