The Strike War.

In a situation as acute as that of the
steel strike, no one knows what day
or an hour may bring forth. Yesterday
developments were few. On the whole.
they were favorable to the trust The
big Lindsey & McCutcheon mill was
started with non union labor, much to
the surprise of the strikers; but there
was no attempt on their part to inter-
fere. 1t seems to be the policy of
Messrs Morgan, Schwab and their as
sociates to reopen one plant after an
other, and thus present to the strikers
an object lesson of their ability to re-
sumo operations in spite of them.
Behind this movement, of course, is
the tacit notice that mills once placed in
commission with non-union labor will
remain non union, and there is no doubt
that the trust is determined to pursue
that course. What immediate effect the
covert threat may have on the men or
derad out next Sunday and Monday re-
mains TO be seen. The corporation man.
ayers appear to be satisfied that 1t will
be potent to greatly reduce the number
who will obey the Shaffer order On the
other hand. the people at strike head
quarters claim to have surprises in
store for the trust AS matters stand,
it is yet anybody's game. The crux will
come next week.

and also to lessen its immediate sig
| nificance.
| There is probably no more important
| question confronting the human race
than this matter of increase-the excess
! of births over deaths, for it has a di-
rect bearing upon the future of man
kind as a whole. and also upon the rel
ative power of nations.s4,For example
if the population of Francs should re
main stationary for the hnext fifty
years. and those of Germany, Great
Britain. and Russia continIe to in
crease as they have been doing clearly
France would be completely overshad-
owed by all of those countries in the
matter of physical power as represent
ed by popula of course,
that the populations of these other
countries showed no degeneracy.
But with no check to the increase. it
has been shown that in all probability
only a few centuries would be required
to crowd the world uncomfortably and
greatly intensity the struggle for ex-
istence. This. as The Times has here
tofore suggested, would in itself nat
urally check the increase. We also in
timated that long before that point was
reached sociological conditions might
come into operation that would produce
throughout the world as whole, or
large part of it, the same phenomenon
of an almost stationary population that
is now observed in France Judging
from recent developments. that time
may be nearer at hand than the most
of us have imagined.
If this reduction of the birth rate
were the result of physical degeneracy,
it might be regarded as foreshadowing
the extinction of the human race. But
we know that during the last half CEN
fury in Great Britain and the United
States there has been a marked i'm
provement in the physical development
of both men and women, and the same
is probably true in Germany. The di-
minished birth rate is undoubtedly ow-
ing to psychological causes; and we
may safely conclude that these causes
will effectualiy prevent either the over
popula ton of the earth in its entirety
or the extinction of the human race.

The Railway Criminal.

The railway tramp has cropped up
again, this time in R!ainfield, New Jer-
sey. A gang of masked men bound and
boarding house in that place and
searched the house for valuables, find
ing nearly six hundred dollars. Such
incidents are not as uncommon as they
should be in small towns on the line of
the great railways, and they illustrate
a new danger which has come to light
since the birth of the steam engine.
The immense facilityJof transporta-
ton afforded by the network of rail-
ways which covers the land gives op-
portunity for the railway tramp to
escape easily from the scene of his
wrongdoirg. In this, case. the robbers
could with very little trouble enter the
house, do their dastardiy work, leave
their victim helpless. and get out of
town and into New York before any
thing could be done about it.
Before the time of the railway, the
malefactor had for refuge only the
woods and swamps, and the slums of
large cities, and he could not move
from place to place with any great rap
idity. Nowadays a thief, murderer,
or any other criminal can be discharged
from jail in Illinois and be in New
York within a day if he is able to beg.

The Trouble mt Pana ma.

The President of the Panama Rail-
way Company has addressed the Gov
ernment, expressing his fear that the
line between Aspinwall and Panama is
in danger of being damaged and traffic
suspended, if nothing worse, at the
hands of the Colombian insurgents.
Accordingly, the Machias will be fitted
out and despatched to the scene as soon
as possible, and further steps may be
necessary.
In 1855, in similar circumstances, it
was necessary to send a landing party
of marines and bluejackets to hold the
railway. From present Indications
something of the sort may have to be
done again. The Colombians must

verted in the new territories that the
cry of imperialism" has been raised.
In an argument on behalf of the Ad-
ministraticn's foreign policy it is almost
an insult to common intelligence to say
that the whole genius of our Constitu-
ton is for freedom when under that
policy the genius of the Constitution"
is held to have no application to Porto
Rico and the Philippines.
After thus stating the principles of
the American Government, the "Inde-
pendent" then proceeds to speak Of our
colonial svstem,'' and the manner in
which we are governing alien races in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Inter
mingled with this is much in the way
of glittering generalities about free
popular government to be established
in the Philippines as soon as it can be
done. all of which sounds we'll. even if
it is somewhat out of harmony with the
facts. The simple truth Is that under
the Administrations policy there can
be no free popular government in those
islands. for the reason that any such
government is merely one of sufferance
and not of right. As the matter now
stands the President can establish a
free popular government today and
abolish il tomorrow. That may be the
independents" idea of government in
accordance with the genius of the
Constitution" If SO. ii would be in

A SHINING COMBINATION.

No more foolish combination for Re-

been proposed or will be. Report has it

What Roosevelt desires is not yet pub
lished, but it would be little creditable
to him to presume he would not be shy
of such a running mate. If he had any
chance of heading the ticket. 1t would
constitute a ticket for the b'hoys, but
sober men would regard it with alarm, as
typical of restlessness and recklessness.
OF course, Yates would not count after
election as force in the Administration

LINGERING EXPECTATION.

As the Treasury surplus is still increas-
ing because of the retention of large
share of the war taxes. 1t is thought that
the Republican majorit,- in Congress will
be easily persuaded to bestOw millions of
public money in bounties upon transpor-
tation companies on the plea of restoring
American shipbuildng.
If it were not for the lingering expec-
tation of receiving large steamship sub
sidies out of the pockets of taxpayers
there would be no disparagemeut of the
prosperity of American shipbuilding in
terests. Although this industry has un-
dergone a new development under the
most favorable conditions without public
aid. there is no doubt that the subsidy
scheme operates as an obstruction to IT'S
march. More yards would be opened and
more ships would be built for the ocean
service at fair profits but for the pros
pect of the larger gains from subsidy.
Apart from the iniquity of this subsidy
scheme. its removal from Congress by
the defeat oi the Hanna bill at the next
session would be promotive OF the ocean
transportation interests of the country

Neglected Native Foods.

1t was recently stated by an Irish
gentleman that in the part of Ireland
from which he came blackberries were
unknown as a food. not because they
were not found there, but because they
were so plentiful as to be regarded as
too common for use. The housewife, in
short. considered that she would be
wasting her sugar and her time by
making jam, wine, preserves, or pies Of
them.
This statement has since been contra
dicted. and it is probable that such a
condition Of things existed only in a
part of Ireland. If it did anywhere: but
it is not at all an impossible situation.
Some of the richest, most delicious, and
most healthful foods produced by our
own country are allowed to go to waste
because people consider them fit only
for the poor. Brown bread, corn bread
beans. molasses. and many edible cuts
of beef and mutton are disdained in
favor of more expensive and less nutri-
tious food, not because people do not
like cheap fare. but because they have
an idea that it is somehow beneath
their dignity to eat it.
II might be worth while for some
fashionable restaurant TO make a spe-
cialty of few cheap and old-fash-
ioned dishes. served daintily but sim
ply. The profit would be considerable
for the materials would cost almost
nothing; the only labor required you'd
be that Of hunting for some old fash
ioned housewife who could make them
as they should be made.
The fact is that foodstuffs which are
common, if they are hcalthful and good
ought to form the main diet of people
in moderate circumstances. The fruits
which grow without coaxing in this eli
mate should be cultivated and eaten in
preference to imported tropical prod

SECRETARY LONGS MISTAKE.

Secretary Long has made the mistake
OF ignoring the complaint and request OF
his very able predecessor. He snouid
have thought of the fact that after he
goes out of Office he may be maiigned by
some navy officer and that he would like
to have vindication from assaults which
he will be j.HSble to repel.
Mr. Chandler therefore announces that
he will discuss in print all the questions
in the case. He will explore the record
OF his assailant- He will overhaul the
transactions of the Navy Department
while 1t has been under Secretary Longs
charge.
This will be a most edifying exposure.
Mr.. Chandler is familiar with all the
facts and with the law of the Navy De-
partment He has a pen stepped in gall
and venom. He will try both Evans and
Long at the supreme bar of public opin-
lon. He viii strip from both the gaudy
feathers of their renown. His statement
will be mighty interesting reading" as
old Horace Greeley used to say. 1t Will
be an appeal 10 the people.

more from this tribunal than they would
have suffered from a naval court-Chi-
