gerous problem TO find that the remote English
colony Of New Zealand is able To display in her
system OF laws the most successful working plan
for the settlement OF disputes between capital
aud labor TO he found anywhere in the world.
Now that great struggle between capital and
labor is going on in this country the occasion
is opportune for calling attention TO the methods
by which such conflicts have been averted in
New Zealand, and the sketch we give ~ the
New Zealand compulsory arbitration act will
be read with interest. The principle upon
which that act is based is that neither capital
nor labor has a right TO do as IL pleases in
the management of its interests, but is subject
to social obligations which the law will take
cognizance Of and will enforce whenever public
interests require. New Zealand Is the first
country to make successful application Of that
principle, but although at present limited in
its operation in that country the principle is so
sound that IT will be eventually recognized and
acted upon in every country where capital and
labor are sufficiently developed to constitute or

is British consul drawing a salary of
$4,000, and two vice -consuls drawing to-
gether salary of s4.6OO, making a total
of sl9,357 paid by Great Britain to her
| consular representatives in New York
| city. This does not include $4,000 of an
| Office allowance. Philadelphia might, n
a way, compare with Liverpool al
| though the business transacted for
British subjects in Philadelphia cam
not compare with the volume or i'm
portance of the American business
| transacted in Liverpool. The British
consul in Philadelphia receives a salary
NJ 4,4OO and an allowance of $4,000. At
| Boston the British consul receives $500
In salary and allowance, and at Balti-
more he receives $1,000 AT San Fran
cisco Great Britain pays her consul in
salary and allowance $500. Moreover,
the travelling expenses of foreign con-
suls as rule are paid by their govern
ments. American consuls have to pay
their own way.
Here is dispatch which appeared
in the Associated Press newspapers re-
| Gently under a Berlin date line: "One
of the most widely circulated of Berlin
| newspapers contains an article on the
United states embassy in Berlin, in
which extreme surprise is expressed
that one of the greatest and richest
countries of the world has so shabby
an embassy The ambassadors of Eng
land. Austria, Russia, Spain and
France live in palaces. The American
ambassador lives in a fiat from which
he can be turned out by the landlord
at six months notice. A small book
store is underneath and two or three
small flats overhead"
The Washington correspondent of the
Press says: THE tremendous advances
of American trade abroad are attributed
ny foreign governments to the energy
and shrek dness of American consuls.
This tribute is undoubtedly deserved.
for during the past four or Ave years
there has been the most marked i'm
provement in the work of consuls and
the attention they have given to COM
mercial matters in the countries where
theyare stationed. Under the spur of the
home government American consuls in
all parts of the world have been active
in investigating trade conditions and
furnishing United States merchants and
manufacturers with data and sugges-
tions which have proved invaluable in
furthering the foreign commerce of this
country. In this regard the improve
ment of our consular system is clearly
marked and leads those who are work.
ing for a perfect system to believe that
the next few years will put this coun-
try on an equal footing with all foreign
governments. This improvement is un-
doubtedly due to the character of the
men who have been selected for :he
consular service. The old order of
things has been changed and foreisn
missions and consular appointments
are no longer simple gifts in return for
political favors. In a way. of course
they are political positions, but the
present administration has seen to 1t
that men selected for important posts
in the diplomatic and consular service
are men who will command respect and
who have the energy and knowledge
requisite to advance the interests of
their country"
Such men deserve better pay.

Jewish Chautauqua. at Atlantic City.
DR.. WI recurred to this topic, answer
ing certain abuse which had been
directed at him from a Philadelphia
pulpit His method of rebuttal is GER
tainly admirable. He said:
Recently in Philadelphia a minister from his
pulpit called me heather and stated that |
was insincere. lie said that | made believe
that liked YOU, but that in my heart was
against the American missionaries going to my
country. He said that | was a hypocritc. Now,
how did he know what was in my hearth How
could he tell? Does that not show mlce2
And yet he is minister that teaches religion
each day to- hundreds OF people. lie even called
me hcathcn. Well, there are hcathens and
there are hcathcns. There is a heathcn who does
vile and sinful things and has no desire TO he
good. Then, again, there are hcathCns who live
true, noble lives, who try TO love their neigh
bors and fclowmcn, and to such 4 class OF
hcithens want TO belong. Yet I have no malice
against the minister who slandcred me. Were
he here today ] would shake hands with him.
II he were to visit me at my legation ! would
give him cup Of good tea. But would good
man SANDER another man? Would a good jew
say those things? Would a good heather do such
thing? Rcmcmbcg, my friends, ,nat there is
no good man that does not have his enemies.
Ihore l. no man escapes Calumny; then how
can a poor rood hc1'h"1 like me get along
without his enemies? The only true re.
ligion is the golden rule. There ia no religion
that will exist at the expense Of another religion,
and there Is no religion that will convert
unless 1t proves to others that it Is superior
to all the rest.
1t seems to us that the quarrel-seck-
ing type of American preacher who is
disposed to throw innuendo at the Chi
nese minister had better desist. The
practice is not injuring DR.. Wa in the
least; but 1t is doing very considera Bile

The Viaduct Decision.
.HE IMPORTANCE to the

THE IMPORTANCE to the
city of the Supreme courts
Il. ruling i'm the viaduct case,
as set forth in the opinion
of Justice Mitchell, lies in the fact
that it virtually requires all consider
able public Improvements, the funds
for which are not already available,
to be endorsed by vote of the people
before becoming effective.lt has been
contended that i'm certain instances
this would operate to defeat improve
ments of real necessity. The conten-
tion presuppposes the existence of a
majority of electors blind to public
interests and not aCtuated by public
spirit. There may he communities in
which this is true but history shows
that Scranton is not among the num-
Der.
The people as a whole, voting at
large, constitute safer tribunal on
subjects affecting their pocketbooks
than councilmen among whom, too
often, the practice of log g-rollilng pre-
walls at the expense of economy. II
tracts involving unknown costs, may
mortgage the city's future, there is
danger that that future may be be-
clouded. Certainly in the case of the
recent viaduCt ordinance, councils
leaped before ii looked. The electorate
also makes mistakes, but it is likely
to think twice before approving omni-
bus expenditures of the public funds or
incurring financial burdens not clearly
defined.
The principle laid down by the Su-
preme court does not defeat the via =
duct. 1t merely requires that where
debt is TO be incurred likely to exceed
the constitutional limit there must be
formal consent by the taxpayers. The
obvious inference as applied to the VIA
duct proposition is that there should
be another reference to the people,
coupled with a thorough organization
OF educational forces and provision for
bringing out a vote. We believe that
with vigorous and practical effort, a
well considered viaduct proposition
would now receive the approval of a
majority. The need of relief from the
dangers and annoyances experienced
by reason of the present situation on
West Lackawanna avenue is increas-
ing daily and it is, in our judgment.
only necessary to broaden the lines of
a campaign before the people to win
out handsomely.

winch that marvellous man
II who represents at Wash
inston the government OF
China, world-famous though he is for
his suavity and self-control. is very
sensitive. That is the reelection which
some of the American clergy have
thrown upon the sincerity of his
friendliness for America during the
frightful suspense of the Boxer be-
leaguerment al Pekin.
Our readers may recall the letter
from WI Ting-fang which we publish
ed Just a year ago, acknowledging a
friendly word, just previously spoken
in these columns. The Rev. DR.. Ash
more widely known missionary, had
stated his belief that the entire for
eign legation at Pekin had been killed
and had put the responsibility for this
supposed killing on the deceit and
cunning of the Chinese minister at
Washington" 10 which DR.. WI re-
piled anAll that I have 10 say Is that
through these weeks of trouble have
used my utmost endeavors to serve
not only my own country, but also
the Cpited states. 1t is rather sur
prisinS. not to say discouraging. for
A man" to find that. Notwithstanding
his honest efforts to perform his duty
under trying conditions. the basest
motives are imputed TO his best ac-
tions. OF course there are black
guards in every country, as there are
black sheep in every fold. 1t is emf
nently unjust to charge the guilt of a
few persons upon the whole nation.
] am Inclined to think that DIR. Ash
more has passed his fifty years of
missionary labor among the black
sheep An China; his opinion of the
other GLASSES of the Chinese people
must be taken with a large grain OF
salt. I. therefore, freely forgive him
for what he has already said about
me. feel sure that the good people
OF this country. at least, are ready
to give me credit for what I have
done to, preserve the existing friendly
relations between the two countries

An interview is credited to Prcsi-

how the administration at Washington
can decide such an issue.
