The KOREAN Situation.

Marvellous stories have been Fitting bout
the country since the death of Mr.. Sob,
president Of the privy council OF The king
dom or Korea and former minister to this
country; and owing TO the comparative
unfamillarity of most people with the her
NIT kingdom, some OF them have been mar
velously mixed. The most interesting OF
the lot is to the effect that the failure
of Minister y e to attend Mr.. Soh's funeral
may result in the dethroning Of the pres
ent King o Korea.
The idea conveyed is that the present
King belongs to the conservative party,
while Mr.. Soh's was the progressive party,
and that the latter may gain the ascend
ancy. The real facts are that Mr.. Soh's
party is the one to which the present King
belongs, while Minister Ye obtained his
office because, although opposed in poll
tics 10 the party Of the King. he was
man whom it was desirable to keep salts
fled in some position outside the kingdom.
He had his choice as to the appointment
which should be mis-, and chose this. Mr..
Sob was a personal friend Of the King.
and the two young princes travelling in
this country remained at his house during
their stay, and not at the Korean legation.
If Minister Ye is recalled it win either
be the complete end Of his political i'm
portarce in Korea or viii, if he and his
friends are strong enough, precipitate an
other Gistui bance, which might possibly
land q member Of his party-that of the
conserv atives on the throne. Should this
Happen, the progress OF Korea viii re
ceive a serious setback; but those who
krow best think I t is not likely to hap
pen, and that the present King viii re
main on the throne, to carry on the re-
forms which the progressive party now
have at heart, and which Mr. Sob was
largely instrumental in planning.
The New York paper patheicaAy re-
marks that if the liberals, who h ave been
gaining in power and numbers, should
get the reins in their own hands and over
throw the present King, it would be a
fitting climax 20 the life Of Mr.. Soh.
Undoubtedly it would but, as the liberals
already have the rens Of power in their
hands, this dramatic climax is not exactly

An UnciyiIized Idea.

A little piece Of rubbish appeared in
a contemporary paper the other day,
which properly belongs TO other civili-
zations and possibly to other nations,
but which is tacitly harhored by some
people in this land. 1t was this:
Labor is a penalty, imposed by crime
or some violation OF law, divine or human.
II degrades, because those who
hands, are ranked In the social scale
as the lowest class. Labor is for
the slave: and the South was right in
feTior race to work unfit for free men.
There is a good deal of nonsense talked
about the dignity of labor, and it ought
not to be assumed that man, because
he has worked hard with his hands all
his life, is worth more as man than his
employer, who does not work with his
hands, or. perhaps, with anything. But
tie idea that labor is in any sense a
penalty or degradation i S an idea almost
too absurb to be taken seriously. It is
the idea of the barbarian. The disgrace
is in a civilization which imposes upon
the many, for the enrichment of the few.

them of all enjoynents except the merest
animal qualifications. The Disgrace be.

own mind and soul, supposing that he
can have soul without any altruistic
feeling; not to the man who Is born with
out advantages and who tolls all his life
to afford this fellow being OF his more
advantages than lie can use properly.
If civilization were on perfectly equal
basis, SO that men started on an even
footing, TO compete with each other for
the privileges of wealth and education,
there might be some ground for despising
the man who could do nothing but dig,
but it is absurd to suppose such d thing
as matters are at present arranged IL
is a E.ost tremendous blunder to ina gine
that perfect civilization consists of
sn-calIedupper class which has all the brains
and luxury and pleasure, and so-ca He'd
lower class with all the drudgery and pri-
walton. There is just a much danger in
this as there would be in providing one
quarter of the inhabitants with water,
light, food and healthful surroundings. and
placing the rest OF The population in quar-
tiers brerding death and disease.
Labor i IS not a curse. it is necessity
The man who does not work with his
hands, in some way or other, loses the
use of them. He misses something in his
life that he ought 10 have, and he tries
to make il up by the play-work OF boat
ing, golCing and rougiIing 1t. The laborer
also misses something of the intellectual
life that ought TO be his, and makes it
up, sometimes. on anarehistic reading and
more or less wrong headed conjecture on
economies, mingled with what is usually
a much clearer and truer perception OF
what is best for him and his fellows
than the upper class citizen, with ali his
learning, can ever get. And between the
unemployed energies OF the upper class
and the unemployed brains Of the lower,
there sometimes comes an explosion. You
cannot suppress dangerous gases forever;
some day they will mingle. The best
plan is to let them mingle freely i'll pure
air.

New Hampshire people have had a
great deal of trouble with tramps this
season. This is not exactly a new thing,
for about fifteen years ago there were
such numbers Of these gentry in the
Granite State that they became posi-
tive pests, like the plaques Of Egypt, and
Moses appeared to have gone where tile
light went. and not to be on hand to free
the country. The unkeInpt, insolent and
frequently drunken wayfarer walked into
farm houses and demanded pie, cake,
money. and occasionally scared the women
of the family so badly that they were
not willing to stay alone in the house.
Through Northern New Hampshire and Yer
mont u gang made practice OF stealing
horses, wagons, harness and tools, to
gether with whatever plunder could be
obtained in houses, and one thief be-
longing to this gang confessed not long
watches and hidden them under the pull
pit stairs in an old church. They were
found In that place. Burning barns and
mutilating stock was another diversion
of these excellent people, and they were rs
hard to catch as swarm OF flies. Finally
the towns in general passed stringent
tramp laws, the farmers made it point
to be within call OF their wornenkind, and
the tramp was abated without bloodshed.
In onetown, after the hospItable women lad
grown tired Of filling peripatetic bread
baskets, one of the selectmen said he
knew way to fix 'efn, and he did. Ee
gave out that all tramps were to be sent
to him instead OF fed at houses, and when
they came he locked them up over night in
a small barn, with hay to sleep on, bar
rel OF crackers, box OF goldfish, and a
cask Of water. The tramps made cir
cult around that town before long.

Franco-German Friction.

Replying 10 cOngratulation on the treaty
OF alliance with Russia, NJ. Meline, the
French premier, permitted himself 10 sug-
gest TO certain enthusiasts in Alsace-Lor-
raine that a reunion Of those provinces with
France was now among the probabilities
OF European politics. This was sad mis-
take, due no doubt TO patriotic exuberance
and possibly 10 a personal desire to head the
procession OF native sentiment for party
purposes. Happening coincidently with
an anti-German demonstration in front of
the Kaiser's embassy in Paris, on the
evening Of President Faure's return from
s.. Petersburg, the matter was not mended.
Naturally, Emperor William is angry.
1t does not take q great deal to assist him
TO that mental condition, andcircumstanees
like these were more than sufficient AS
q consequence, It's stated that the German
government VIII call upon France for an
explanation, and very likely couch the
demand III language as strong as the ethics
ana conventions OF diplomacy viii permit.
That VIII be far short of the point and
pungency OF note that Secretary sher-
man would indite under like circum-
stances; but, no matter for that, the re-
suit win be about the same.
One Of our Paris dispatches suggests that
n. Eanotaux may make a sensational an
pounoepent TO the French parliament and
then the government viii dissolve it. If
this were intended 10 sober earnest one
might look for a possible reopening of the
struggle OF 1901, but dobtless 1t is
little more than play to the gallery.
Gar Nicholas Gid not take France into
the continental combination without a very
thorough previous understanding with tlie
German Emperor. 1t is conceivable that the
present outburst OF French Kaiserphohia
may not 5e altogether disagneeable TO
Russia, as tending to warn the Teuton
warlord that ne should not regard himself
and seek TO be regarded as not only a
great na7arch. but as The wh3le OF Europe.
Outside of this nobody need give himself
o-ar 70 insomnia on accoun OF what is %

SWISS MINISTER COMPLAINS.
Iowa Said to Discriminate Again ST

Iowa Said to Discriminate Against
Foreign Insurance Premiums.
Mr.. ]. B. Pioda, the minister from
Switzerland 10 this country complained to
Secretary Sherman a few days ago to the
effect that the State of Iowa has laid d
tax upon the premium income OF Euro
pean insurance companies greater than
the tax imposed upon the prerni um Income
of American companies The minister
claimed that the enforcement of this
law was violation of the treaty rights
OF Switzerland, as defined by the treaty
between that country and the United
States November 25, 1850.
After hearing the Complaint Secretary
Sherman wrote the governor of Iowa a
letter, in which he remarked:
In order that the bearing of the re-
ported measure upon the treaty rights
of Swiss citizens may be duly taken into
account, I have the honor To quote the
pertinent provision OF said Article II, as
follows, Nc higher inIpost, under whatever
name, Shall be eSacted from the citizens
OF one of the two countries residing or
established in the other tain shall be
levied upon the citizens OF the country
in which they reside, nor any contribu-
uion whatever to which the latter shall

More British Diplomacy.

Even this Administration VIII get tired
advices tnom Central America warn us that
Japan for some time has been secretly
negotiating with the strictly paper Greater
Republic of Central America. for the pGr-
pose of securing abroga,ion OF the treaty
rights enjoyed hy the United States under
contract with Nicaragua and Costa Riea.
for the building OF the Nicaragua Canal.
This pseudo Greater Republic of Central
America" does not exist as fact, but
in a semi-perfunctory sort of way It has
been tentatively -'organized" for adver-
tisinE purposes only, To further Great Brit
aims designs against our fsthmian canal
policy and purposes. The intended effect
OF the nominal union OF certain small Central
American states into loose federation was
10 give color TO claim shat, thus, the
sovereignty 5ftleseveral members had been
lost, and that treaties made by them in
dividualiv had been abrogated by their
reiinquishment OF independence.
The British game in this connection has
been plain To Americans i'll Central America
and to our State Department for months.
1t is a foolish game, because the lack Of
anypOint or possibility of conference between
the small states involved already has made
the Greater Republic" matter of ridi-
cule and practically a myth.
Notwithstanding this, Japan is re-
ported as actively negotiating with this
po-erless union to squeeze the United
StatesCut OF its canal concessions and trea
ties, and to make some Nicara qua Canal
treaties on the Mikado's own account.
We are sorry: because we have alwa Us liked
and admired Japan and its active and ener-
gctic little people; but their current ten
dency to the fresh displays OF foolishness
is becoming too monotonous. We have
recognized the fact that they We're doing the

tended indefinitely by the District. 1t
begins to look as il The Times prediction
that Mr.. Haskell would in all probability
decline the office as too small to be q
fitting reward for his political services
will he verified. First, Mr. Haskell ap-
peared when the time at which his APP
pointment was TO go into effect and asked
for months time before qualifying. 1t
vas officially stated that he desired TO
close up his business affairs In his home,
hut 1t was well known to those in touch
with the matter that Mr.. Haskell SIS
dissatisfied with the appointment, and
desired the month to look about and see
il he could not secure a larger plum. Now
the month has passed and Mr.. Haskell
has not yet reached Washington to take
his position, and appearances would indi-
cate that he does not intend doing SO.
Shonld he conclude that he can do better
by declining .he position, it is probable that
the temporary appointments OF Mr.. john
MIXER as sealer and MIR. William b. Mullen
as deputy sealer will be made permanent.
