CREpULITY AND SOMETHING MORE.

Tho evnloits of the missing Miller and his
Franklin Syndicate arouse the old wonder
about the credulity of human nature. IL Is
mystery oft renewed. Ever since the South
Sea Bubble. and, fol that matter, from long be-
fore. men who In ordinary affairs seemed people
Of common sense and soberness have been
showing that the more frankly Impossible
business proposition was the more READY they
were 10 close with it in haste. The gamDhhg
instinct is deeply rooted. AS Charles Lamp
noted. what 'our Familiarity pous ancestors
called a godsend" has an Irresistible charm
II Is something we don't work for, but IL comes
nv itself and the more miraculous It's coming
the quicker we are TO kneel down before the
most palpable Of frauds in the hope of receiving
f. The poor dupes Of Miller are only learning
the lesson of all their spiritual forebears who
ever loaded John Laws counters or grew Dig
eyed over mica fecked sand when they should
have been hoeing corn. For them there will
be much sympathy, but In contemplating their
enntv hands II is after all difficult to forget the
old saying. 1--WE pity the unfortunate, but this
is no place for FOOLS
But fools were not the only people who gave
Miller money. There were some knaves, ana
they should not be forgotten in looking over his
accounts They were the men who knew that
this scheme was a swindle; who understood
that as a business arrangement II was impos-
sible but thought that as bunco game II was
likely to last long enough for them TO get their
money out Many of them did. They were
inst as much swndlers Of the creduous and
ignorant people who put their money In and
lost 1t as IL they had themselves put their hands
in their neighbors' pockets and transferred the
contents to their own. That in effect, 1t Is evil
dent. was what they did. Apparently the early
Investors" simply received as interest" the
deposits Of those who came after, and so long
as the stream Of dupes was on the increase the
game could keep running. Doubtless some who
have taken out all or more than they put In did
not understand the character Of the transaction,
but il is equally certain that many others did,
and made themselves partners In fleeing in
nocent and deluded folks II the law can reach
them it should. If not, the contempt and in
dgnation Of their neighbors and acquaintances
should do something for their punishment.
| The police of Brooklyn seem to have lost
| Miller by some strange chance. 1t Is wonder
| full story. Of how they Swallowed him and let
him slip through their fingers. Maybe It is true.
| But the enforcement Of the law against pool
rooms and other illegal resorts in Brooklyn is
not so severe as TO give entire confidence that
this man. who was permitted for so long To
carry on papably fraudulent business, might
not have found means to make friends Of the
mammon of unrghteousness, that when he
failed he might be held in remembrance.

SCANDINAVIAN PROSPERITY.

The strained relations between Sweden and
Norway happily do not seem to have any i'll eff
feet upon the Industrial and commercial pros
perity Of those countries. On the contrary, II
may be that they serve as sort Of stimulus
thereto The annual report of the United States
Commissioner of Navigation, of which we pub
lished a synopsis the other day, referred to the
phenomenal growth of Norways seagoing steam
tonnage. the increase amounting TO more than
400 per cent in twenty-five years, or more
than twice as much as that Of any other nation.
That is only one item in a long series Of similar
achievements in both halves OF the Scandina-
Wan Peninsula.
Norway is to-day unique as commercial ma
ton There is no other not even Great Britain,
that rivals her in the proportionate size OF her
ocean going commerce. Great Britain, with
4O.OOO.OO0 population, has 12,500,000 tons OF
shipping, or nearly one-third Of n ton per cap
tia. But Norway, with only 100000 popula-
ton, has more than 100000 tons, or nearly
three fourths OF ton per capita. And Norway,
with only 100000 population. is in tonnage
only 30 per cent behind the United States. with
