borne by the individual, whereas,
this measure proposes the very re-
verse" The illustration the prime
minister gave in support of this state
ment is applicable to many other
measures and proposed features of
legislation heretofore regarded as
socialistic. As Lord Salisbury
stated, in the case of a great colliery
accident, due to negligence of the
owners, or at least not due to any
negligence on the part of the GOLFERS,
hundred or more persons may be
killed or injured and as many fami-
lies left destitute to be provided for
under the poor laws, or in other
words at the expense of all the peo-
pie instead of at the expense of the
owners of the colliery to whom go all
the profits from it's operation. The
making of employers responsible in
wages or pensions for accidents or
illness of their employees not arising
from their own negligence will un
doubtedly have a wholesome effect,
and make employers more careful.
The "Workmen's Compensation
Bill'' makes great advance in labor
conditions in England and will do
much to break the force OF socialistic
agitation in that country for long time
to come. 1t shows the workmen that
it is possible to obtain justice through
the present machinery of govern
ment and thus removes the greatest
inducement to socialism as preached
by its modern advocates.

RETIREMENT OF LABOR O0NDI-
TI0NS.

LAST Monday all over the United
States was specially dedicated by
labor as holiday: not holiday for
picnicking and what is usually re-
garded as having good time, but
holiday for the purpose of advancing
the interests and lettering the con-
ditions of laboring men by display
of organized strength and the enthu-
siasm that comes from numbers.
OF course the great coal strike
added interest to the demonstration
but that is but a mere incident in
the great onward march of labor in
the United States within recent years.
The condition of the laboring man in
America. much as he may have, and
perhaps with justice to complain of,
is vastly better than in any other
country on the globe, but that is no
reason why there should not be
reaching out to better things.
Great, also, as has been the progress
in labor legislation in the United States
recent years the greatest victory of
labor in modern times was won few
weeks ago in England at the closing
session of Parliament when what is
known as the "Workmen's Compen-
sation BIll' became law. The bill
is one which would have been re-
garded as extremely socialistic and
radical few years ago, and it was
denounced as such in the House of
Lords when put in its passage in that
conservative body. Lord Salisbury,
however, who is scientist and stu
dent of economics as we'll as states
man, surprised friends and foes alike
by clear, eloquent and vigorous de-
Tense of the bill. Lord Salisbury as
leader of the Tories has until rece Mt
ly been regarded as a conservative of
conservatives, and no little interest
was taken as to what his attitude
would be upon the bill, which was
the pet measure of Mr.. Chamberlain,
the colonial secretary. Lord Sails
burY's clear, concise, strong state
ment of the reasons for tie passage
of the bill was admirable and indi-
Gates England's prime minister has
a very clear conception of the new
conditions which it is necessary for
the government to confront. Similar
legislation has been enacted in most
of the other countries of Europe, but
Lord Salisbury may be said to have
placed the whole subject in new
light and to have reconciled conser-
vatism with what has heretofore been
regarded as the extreme Of radical
ism.
Socialism" said Lord Salisbury,
sis the undertaking by the State OF
burden or duty which should be

other aspect, however, it has become
almost duty to speak.
The Klondike gold fever has now
reached stage where plain words
are necessary. Notwithstanding the
gold seekers have been officially
warned by the United States govern
ment of possible dangers and con-
sequences to people detained in the
mountainous wilderness during five or
six months Of Arctic winter, where
no relief can reach them, there seems
to be but little decrease in the north
ward rush to the gold fields. Even
should these enthusiastic seekers
after wealth succeed in reaching the
Klondike, a bitterly cold winter of
which they literally have no compre-
hension and for which they are utter
ly unprepared, lies before them.
These considerations, however, do not
seem to chill the ardor of the thous-
ands now at Skaguay and Dyea. Be-
tween two and three thousand per-
sons are now camped along the rocky
shore or endeavoring to scale the
Chilkoot or White Passes, not one in
fifty of whom it is thought will be
able to get across the mountains this
winter Many of the experienced
miners are returning while the tender
feet" are delaying theirreturn hoping
against hope. Most of these will
probably press on and many of them
will meet their death in the vain at
tempt to reach the land of gold. Like
all other fevers the gold fever must
run it's course, and those already on
the way will listen to no warning.
Even the transportation companies
are finding it necessary to sound
warning and their language ought to
be sufficient to make those now pre-
pairing to go hesitate. P. B. Weare
of this city says his company is al
vising people not to attempt to get to
Dawson City this year, but he adds
sit doesn't seem to be any use talk.
ing John Cudahy of the same
company recently put the case more
bluntly when he said: sit is fool
hardy to cross the divide from now
on as the risks are so great. 1t doesn't
do any good, though, to talk to a lot
of fools, and what the result will be
will not be known until next spring"

ALMOST HALF A CENTURY.

1t is forty-four years since DR.. Eben
Touriee modestly laid the foundation of
the New England Conservatory of music
at Boston. Since that time it has grown
steadily and consistently, until today il
ranks first in size and standing among
musical institutions in America, and
among the largest and best known in the
entire world
This year radical change will be made
in the musical dictatorship. Mr.. George
w. Chadwick, one of the best known of
American musicians and composers, will
take the place of Nh. Carl Felten, who
has had charge for some years. 1t seems
emnently fitting that an American insti-
tuition should have an American at it's
head, particularly when one of such
marked ability and sterling reputation has
been secured. Mr.. Chadwick has been for
many years on the faculty, and every de-
tail of the workings of the institute is an
open book to him.
The New England Conservatory is the
result of experience, not of theory. Its
facilities are conceded to be equal to the
combined facilities of all other American
Conservatives. Over 800 pupils have
been enrolled during the past year, which
places it, in the number of students, in
the same class with Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton and the University of Chicago. The
large building on Franklin Square con-
tains not only the necessary number of
classrooms (over forty, but also spa
cious and comfortable home for nearly
four hundred lady students, and the de-
mand for Accommodations has been so great
in recent years that two annexes have
been added to provide for the increased
number of students.
All branches of music, vocal, instrument
tai and composition, also elocution and
oratory. are treated fully here. There is
also a thoroughly equipped department of
piano and organ tuning for such as desire
TO go to the very rudiments of these
branches.
The graduates of the New England Con-
servatory are to be found the country owe
in positions of prominence in the music
world. 1t is comparatively easy for gIadu
ates to secure the very cream Of positions
as the reputation of the Conservatory is
back of them in their applications.
