THE TRAGEDY IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The tragedy at Hazieton, Pa, is one of
the most deplorable in the history of Amer
lean labor troubles. 1t is not alone the
number of persons killed and wounded,
though this is a shocking feature of the
affair, but the conditions under which the
tragedy occurred, its possible effect in re-
tarding the settlement of the strike, and,
perhaps above all, the fact that the shoot
ing appears to have been hasty and I'M
necessary. The latter fact is not quite
clear, but from all the information at hand
it seems to be a fair conclusion. The sheriff
may have been within the strict letter of
the law in ordering his deputies to fire,
for it is in evidence that he had read the
riot act more than once and that the min
ers were defying him. But there had been
no actual rioting beyond a little rough
treatment of the sheriff that had not yet
reached the danger point, and the situation
had hardly become grave enough to justify
so drastic a course as that adopted 1t is
not clear that the marchers were armed.
1t is the duty of public officer to exhaust
every possible effort in enforcing his
authority by peaceable means before re-
sorting to shooting, and it is doubtful if
the sheriff had done so in this case. The
miners were on the public highway, so that
the sheriff and his deputies had a line of
communication open behind them on which
they could have fallen back a reasonable
distance. If they had done this and not
fired until they were plainly forced to do
so in self-defense the shooting would have
been more clearly justiiabe. According
to the sheriff's statement the marchers
were going to Lattimer to get the men
out there" This in itself was not a des-
perate undertaking nor illegal unless it had
been forbidden by injunction or was prose-
cuted in an illegal way. But the sheriff
could not tell in advance whether the
marchers would commit any violence when
they got to Lattimer or not. 1t is not
stated whether there was an injunction for
bidding them to go to the Lattimer mines,
but probably there was. The sheriff would
hardly have felt justified in stopping them
on the highway in the absence of such an
order, but even with that authority it
would have been better to have exhausted
every peaceable means and to have made
his final stand at the mines The fact that
the marchers were all Hungarian miners,
rough and desperate class, does not cut
any material difference in the case. The
principles involved are the same as if they
had all been native-born, intelligent Ameri-
can citizens.
The scene of the tragedy is in the anthra-
cite coal mining region of Pennsylvania,
in the Lehigh valley and county of Luz
zerne The anthracite miners are not di-
rectly involved in the bituminous coal min
ers strike, but the interests of the anthra-
cite and bituminous miners are so related
that they are in close sympathy. There is
danger, therefore, that the occurrence may
rouse bad feeling among the bituminous
miners and tend to prevent a settlement
of the strike. If it should have that effect
there will be additional reason for regret.

Brutal Cartoons of Lincoln.

1t is not easy for this generation of
Americans, whose only thought of Abra-
ham Lincoln is that of reverence for a
great leader and martyr and grand fig
ure in history, to realize that he was once
an object of ridicule, not only to the rebels
but to foreigners, and was savagely as
sailed and caricatured by the cartoonists
of the time, particularly those of England.
1t is probable that the English people
would be glad to forget that they made so
tremendous a mistake in their estimate of
this great American and of the conditions
in this country as to sympathize with the
South and to predict it's success, but the
truth of history cannot be evaded. They,
the boosted lovers of freedom, did cham
pion the cause of the Shareholders and did
everything possible, short of extending Of
fetal aid, to encourage the rebel leaders.
One of the means used was that of the
political cartoon. Punch, then, as now,
was the leading illustrated humorous pa
per, and a good deal of what passed for
wit and humor with British readers related
to the civil war in the United States, while
the artists devoted themselves to the pro-
duction of cartoons which reflected the
scarcely yelled hostility of the government
to the Union and it's President Punch
chief caricaturist was at that time and is
still, Sir John Tenniel, and he is repre-
scented as being for the most part fair and
just, though a satirist. His treatment of
Lincoln and the civil war was one of the
exceptions to his rule of fairness. Probably
this was because, in common with many
of his fellow-B ritons who should have been
better informed, he did not fully under
stand the issues, but this circumstance can
hardly lessen the regret he must feel at
having gone on record as a mercless as
sailant of one of the worlds greatest men.
Mr. Rufus r. Wilson has been looking up
these cartoons in the files of Punch and
has reproduced several of them in the cur
rent number Of Scrbners Book Buyer. The
most of them are brutal in character the
artist having taken especial delight in rep
resenting Mr.. Lincoln as a groteSque, I'M
calmly creature with a coarse villainous
face the purpose being of course, to bring
him into contempt. The drawings were
based on untruths or, al the best, distorted
facts, and seem to have been inspired by
malice rather than sense of humor Ger
tainly it is impossible to detect humor in
them at this late day. 1t is but fair to say
for Tenniel that in the later years of the
war these cartoons became infreuuent. per-
haps because he was getting a gimmer-
ing of the truth. After Lincolns death he
made such amends as he could in draw

Taken by Siege is the title of a novel
by Miss Jeanette L. Glider, which the
Scribners will publish within a few weeks.
1t is a tale of journalists and musicians,
and the story revolves about the old Acad-
envy of Music. The novel was published
anonymously several years ago, and, in a
review of the book at that time, the Trib-
une said that ii was evident that the au-
thor knew nothing about a real newspaper
office. Miss Glider thought her experience
had been sufficient to relieve her from such
a charge, but she did not attempt to con-
tradict so distinguished an authority.
Major Pond, who has engaged Mr. Hall
Caine for lecture tour in this country,
overcame his objections to the hard work
by assuring him that 1t was the easiest way
of earning money in the world; that travel
ing IN America was luxurious, and reading

1t is said that the highest price per word
ever paid to an author was paid by Messrs.
Scribner to Mr. Rudyard Kipling for his
railroad story mo. 007," published in the
August number of Scribners Magazine.
This story numbers over seven thousand
words, and the price paid was about 81 500.
This, as one might suppose, says the Critic
Lounger, covers all serial rights Twenty
cents a word is the high-water mark in
authors pay, so far as l have any knOwl-
edge | am told that Mr.. Kipling gets no
such price in his own country. AS a rule he
is bought outright by an American publish

GOOD ROADS AND BROAD TIRES.
Narrow Tires Cut the Roads and Exc
haust Horses NeedlessIy.
Communion.

COulpdIllOu.
The movement in favor of good roads,
rural communities all over the country, in
wolves many contributary issues of consid-
cradle Importance. For instance, associa-
lions which have undertaken the task or
improving the country roads, are generally
advising farmers to make use OF broad tires
upon their wagon wheels, instead OF the
narrow tires which cut and rut soft road
so deeply. It is not easy to induce the
farmers to follow this advice because 1t
implies and requires at the outset the re-
pairing of the road. Broad-tired wagons
could make but little or no progress over
some of the muddy and rough roads which
are too often found not far from the BUSH
est and most thriving cities Narrow
wheels cut their way through more easily,
but only at the cost of exhaustlng the
horses which draw the wagon, and of still
further injuring the road as a thorough
fare If the highway could not be inn
proved sufficiently to bear the heavy tires,
the wheels would act like a miniature road
roller, and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead of tearing 1t TO
pieces. AS an immediate result, access TO
markets would be made much more easy;
draught animals would gain in efficiency
and length of service, and 1t would be
possible to transport larger loads with
greater ease and convenience than is the
case at present. The farmers and the rural
communities which they control hesitate 10
take the first step because Of the immediate
expense involved. 1t ought not to be hard TO
convince so intelligent a portion OF the
community that real economy, both OF
labor and money would be gained by inn
proved roadbeds and the use OF proaoer
