that indicate that the new act Is having a
reviving effect upon the industry. Esti-
mates thus far made show that since the
passage of the new law fully 1850 potters
in New Jersey have found Unemployment.
During three years past these men, who
formerly earned from so to $40 a week,
have been receiving practically nothing.
feet the Trenton potteries combined had
a weekly pay roll of about $4,000, but dur
ing the three years of the life If that
measure they put forth only about $S,0O
wee kly in wages. This revival of large
industry under the operation of the new
law is but q sample of the betterment that
is coming to other lines Of labor in all
parts Of the country from a variety of
causes. The south has given evidence Of
feeling the influence of the new conditions.
The farmers have already begun to reap
their harvest of profits from their abundant
crops with an unusually wide workman
ket. The trades show signs of steady
growth and the politician who persists in
who refuses to see, Oh, seeing, refuses to
believe the signs of prosperity, can have

The Mob Spirit.

The summary dispatch by MOP in the
City of Mexico of the assailant of Presi-
dent Diaz is full of suggestions on the
score of the mob spirit. 1t is true i'll any
country where the heal or leading repre-
sentative OF the state is killed or assaulted
that the spirit of summary vengeance i'm

tenders An assault with intent to kill
need not cause dangerous injuries. 1t is a
question of motive and means rather than
of results. The husband who struck his
wife with Ratchet was evidently inspired
by a murderous design, else he would not
have chosen so deadly a weapon. The man
who broke his wife's jaw used only his fist.
but he struck viciously and with the intent
TO do the great possible bodily harm with
the weapon that he chose. 1t was shown,
tco that he had threa,ened his wifes life,
and since his conviction mas sworn to kill
her when he is released.
Both of these cases, and doubtless many
more like them, are worthy of considerat on
by the upper court. with its larger powers
of punishment and it's clearly defined policy
of severe sentences. The trouble lies in the
first steps of the prosecution in the court
below, whore the judge IS hound to follow
the terms of the information made cut by
the assistant district attorney on duty with
him. his latter official IS not3riously ever
rushed with cases. The time that he can
give to each instance of law-breaking is
too small for the degree of care that should
be exercised, and doubtless many cases
that are worthy of presentation to the
grand jury are run hurricdly through the
VIC men who deserve long sentences in the
penitentiary for their brutality get off with
short terms in the Jail, where they are
comparatively comfortable.
There should be additional facilities at
these two courts for the transaction Of the
pr eliminary business of hearing witnesses
and drawing informations. A visit to the
premises indicates that In ere IS, first OF all,
need of more ROOM Then there should be
more prosecutors. and perhaps one more
judge, unless there can be n new arrange
ment of duties that will enable the two
judges and the two prosecutors now on
duty to accomplish more toward the de-
sired object without assuming Induly heavy
burdens. The same scale OF punishment
should prevail in both Jurisdictions, how
ever. whatever may be the remedy applied
to accomplish the end, which is essential
to the safety of all classes of citizens and
to the good order of the community

Patriotism and Pollteness.

About two months ago the social and ma
val worlds We're agitated deeply over a
grave question of etiquette concerning the
ma nners Of the cadets at the Naval Acad-
envy. Somebody discovered that some of
these young sailors never raised their hats
to ladies while they were i'm uniform and
the question naturally arose, why there
should be any distinction between the ca
diets and ordinary male humanity that en-
abled the former to disregard one of the
most commonly accepted tenets of polite
behavior. 1t was then brought out in be-
half of the cadets, that they were required
by the regulations TO confine ali their sa-
lutes. even to the national colors, to a mo-
ton of the hand the fingers tipping the
vizor of the cap, the latter never being
raised from the head while out of doors.
This explanation served to satisfy society
and the navy was indicated from what
promised to grow into "a charge of impolite
conduct The board of visitors to the
academy. however, essays now to amend
this situation, for among its recommends
tcns looking to changes at the academy
occurs the following: That the officers and
cadets be required to salute the national
colors by removing their hats. and that the
custom of saluting the national colors with
the hand, as now practiced, be discontin-
ued.'' 1t now remains for Secretary Long
and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt to de-
eide this important point They are both
thorough Americans. both polished gentle
men, both know well the full meaning Of
patriotism and poiiteness, and they can be
relied upon to do the proper thing. If the
recommendation of the visitors should be
adopted and formed into u rule there will
no longer be an excuse for cadet to keep
his head covered i'll the presence of ladies',
for the new salute 10 .he flag will have set
the pace for his social manners
