and 3,S75,000 In 1881, an increase or more than
81 per cent In eleven years In the face of such
figures 1t is worse than idle to pretend that the
South American Continent Is in danger OF re-
naming an unpopulated waste unless filled up
with conquering European hordes.
Notice. by way Of contrast. the beggarly show
ing made by Germany in her present colonial
empire Her enormous domains in Eastern,
Western and Southern Africa are still savage
wildcrnesses Leaving out Of consideration her
Equatorial territories, which are as unfit for
European colonization as is much of South
America, she has In temperate South Africa,
in exactly the same latitude as the South Brazil
and Argentina which she covets, an enormous
domain, in which, instead OF millions, she has
only few hundred colOnists. What amazing
effrontery II would be for her to demand the spo-
liation Of South America as an overflow resort
for her crowded population while South Africa
remains untenanted. Damaraland and Great
Namaqualand are an unanswernble condemna-
ton of the claim.
No: Europe must keep hands off in South
America. She has parttiOned Africa and the
bulk of Asia, and nearly all Of the islands of
the sea. With them she must be content. The
United States does not dispute her claim to
them, This country opened Japan and COrea

On the contrary. it sees Russia preparing TO alb

greatly in the opening Of Africa, and had an
unchallengcd opportunity to acquire large ter
ritories there; but 1t did not take single rood
of land. 1t leaves the entire Eastern Henri
sphere to Europe. Is II unreasonable that II
should ask in return that European Powers
shall not increase their present holdings in the
Western Hemisphere? TO those present hold

cples which the European Powers, In their

The United States has its own destiny to work

PRISONERS AND FRESH AIR.

Renewed complaint is made OF the sad con-
dition of the five Irish cOnvicts in British
prisons who are commonly called ''polticai
prisoners" 1t is said that they are broken in
both mind and body; their reason IS parity
gone and their lives are in serious danSer.
Wherefore It is urged that the clemency CT
pardon and release should be granted TO hem.
We NAV pass by the question whether men con-
victed of n peculiarly atrccious form Of felony
are properly to be called political prisoners
In this country dynamitng is not commonly
rcckoncd a mere political offence. We may
also pass by the lurd tales told of crueties IL u
abuses in the prisons. They have recently been
rehearsed with all possible sensational Access
series by one OF the most depraved wretches
that ever defiled cell. There is, as any we'll
Informed man knows, no truth whatever in
them. English prisons are conducted III con-
spicuonsly humane manner There is, how
ever Just one point In the case that is slghhi-
cant and suggestive to American penologlsts as
well as to British authorities and Irish patriots.
That is the statement that these five convicts
are suffering far more than their Fellows De-
cause they are confined in their cells Tor SIX
DAYS week. while all the rest are employed IN
the open air 1t may or may not be That they
are SO confined. or that we have no present ln'
formation. But that such confinement would
initiate against their mental and physical con-
ditiOn. in contrast with that Of their fellows,
there can be no doubt. Even If the prisoner be
kept at work and his cell be all that sanitary
science can make 1t, there is something de-
moralizing to mind and body in being kept al
WAYS. day after day, In one small room. Inc
enviable reputation British prisons enjoy FOR
the health and spirits of their inmates is large
" due to the fact that the latter are engaged
as much as possible in Out-of-door work. There
are, of course workshops in the prison build
ings But they are for only partial use. The
aim is to keep the men busy in the open air
within the prison yards or, as is often the case
outside of them.
There is no question that the same plan might
be followed here with equally satisfactory re-
suits British cOnvicts are largely employed IN
making and mending the public roads, often
many miles from the prison. There seems TO be
no serious difficulty i'll transporting and guard
ing them. There need not be here. And GER
tainly the demand for betterment of roads is az
urgent here as it is in any country In the civil
tied world.

4 RAILROAD RECORD.

One hundred and forty nine miles in 143 min
utes. That is the record just made by the En-
pire State Express between Syracuse and Bur
falo. And it was no special trip with cleared
track and spiked switches and light train
II was tust an incident Of business for regli-
lor train. with its load Of passengers to carry
and it's quota Of stops to make. The railroad
company takes pride in its fast express; and
cuts its time down to what has been consid-
cred the lowest convenient point Its schedule
rms were something remarkable. So when
,be train pulled ont Of Syracuse twenty-three
minutes late the widest hope Of the conductor
was that ten minutes might be made up but
tho engineer drew into Rochester only twelve
minutes late. and after two minutes there
rushed on to make UP ten more. bringing up at
the end Of his journey Orgy one minute behind
schedule time.
What would De Witt Clinton. who rode over
this route in 1910 at the rate Of twenty miles
q day to pick out a line for the Erie Canal, say
to such speed? What would the people who
sixteen years later gathered to welcome him in
his first boat journey across the State say!
| They would be astonished, but not more as
tonished than would we If our imaglnations
were not deadened by the habit OF being hurled
through space nj rate winch oDiterates the
sense Of everything but termni Faster runs
have often been made for short distances or I'M
der special conditions, but we believe this is the
best time ever made by regular train on n
long journey. Yet the everyday schedule Of
trunk lines is so near this rate OF speed that
probably the passengers never knew that they
were making an extraordinary trip. We speak
of the wonders Of rnilrOading, but really the
wonderful thing is the general acceptance Of
organization and safeguards which make srch
speed possible as commonplace TEXTURES Of
civilized society.
