PROSPERITY DIVIDENDS.

According to the New York Com
mercial, the total dividends which
will be paid on railroad shares March
/, will aggregate $40, Alb, 423, as COM
pared with S13, $50, 423 in February of
last year and the dividends on indus
trials will be S15, 675, 430, as compared
with $l3, 9S7, $40 in last February.
Prosperity it seems, still lives and
grows, and the protective tariff sys-
tenn will continue to survive in spite
of the persistent attacks of those who
seem to look upon themselves as
guardians at large of European inter
ests and who would like to see Europe
once more prosperous at our expense.
1t is comparatively hard, however, to
fool great people twice within a pc
Rod Of ten years, and the lesson of
1892 when we exchanged protection
and prosperity for free trade and in
dustrial paralysis, has not yet been
forgotten by the general run of the
people of the country, however much
our free trade friends may like to
make themselves or try to make others
feel differently.

EDUCATING THE POOR WHITES.

Industrial education of the colored
people of the South is benevolent
work for which the contributions of
northerners are often solicited. Tus-
kegee, Hampton and other less noted
institutions owe no small degree of
their success to aid received from the
North. Less is heard of the educa-
tional problem growing from the ig
norance of the poor whites in the
South, although it is now and then
described to northern audiences The
Samuel Benedict memorial school, at
Cedar Town, Ga, labor of lovecar-
ried on by Rev. George E. Benedict
in memory of his father, is conducted
for the education of the lowest classes
of whites, who are serious factor in
the social development of the South
Mr.. Benedict has spoken recently in
several New England cities about the
progress and aims of his school and
has better opportunities for securing
industrial education than the impov-
erished white man has. His school,
now III the eighth year of its exist
ence, is intended to remedy this dis
parity of opportunity.
The first question asked by a north
erner in considering such a project
is why the South cannot educate it's
own whites in public schools. 1t is
well known that the public school sys-
tenn in the South is by no means so far
advanced as it is in the North where
successive generations have contrib
uted to its development. Illiteracy is
far more common in the Southern
states, and even so prosperous state
as Georgia, which must sustain schools
both for whites and blacks, cannot
afford industrial training. Mr.. Bene-
diets school steps in this breach and
endeavors to do for the ignorant whites
what Booker r. Washington's excel
lent institution is doing for the black
race. There are about two hundred
pupils at the school at present, and
those who have heard of the project
and it's work will be interested to
know that Mr.. Benedict needs only

servations of river heights, and fire.
quent measurements of flow, from
which an accurate idea of the month
ly and yearly discharge of these
streams is obtained. One of the most
important features about a stream for
those who would measure it's waters
for power or supply is the amount of
it's low water flow. Special care has
been used i'll the Investigations to
obtain this information. Another in
teresting result of the measurements
is the light they throw on the floods
and freshets Of the past season. They
show the great volume of these sud
den discharges as compared with the
light flow of most of the streams dur
ing the rest of the year, and raise
the question whether the disastrous
floods and following low waters of so
many of the Pennsylvania streams are
not to some extent due to heavy cut
ting of timber at their head waters.
The Susquehanna and its main tribu-
taries were measured at a number of
places, as were also the Schuylkill,
Juniata and Delaware rivers, and ten
or twelve other small streams which
are of value as sources of water power
and supply. The investigation is part
of the general study of the country's
water resources which is being car
ried on by the geological survey.
These Investigations are of special
value at this time, inasmuch as these
rivers have, during the past two days,
caused great damage by flooding.

purposes. They have provided the
town agency through which, such a
supply of liquors shall be had.
The United States has instituted a
system of finance, with national banks
as agencies for supplying the public
with currency Sometimes there is
trouble with these banks. The presi-
dent or cashier, or both, sometimes
steal the banks money and depart
with it, or remain in their country,
and, if they have stolen enough,
become "Napoleons of Finance. "
Stockholders are often ruined and de-
positors lose the money they had in
trusted to this financial agency
Now isn't there the same reason for
a demand "to wipe the whole bank
ing system 'from the national statute
books because bank officials are some
times dishonest, or are big rascals, as
there is in this call to upset the sys-
tenn existing in this State for a whole
some regulation of the liquor traffic,
because agents or other officials now
and then are guilty of fraud, or ir-
regularity of some kind, or alleged
fraud or irregularity, in the manage
ment of the affairs of the agency?
And the same query applies to every
other branch of business, public or pri-
vate. Offices of public or private
trust are often abused. Reform in ad-
ministration that giveth life and
health, rather than humiliation by
brute force, is the more rational rem
edy.
There may be no question but there
is need Of radical reform in the agency
management and other parts of the
system, and a more rigid method Of
accounting and to that end, in mat
ter of so great Importance, there ought
to be searching examination and aud
iting, as there are in other affairs of
State or municipal administration.

A LIVE PRINCE.

Prince Henry does not appear to be
a prince of the regulation denseness of
European royal scions. He acts a
great deal like other mortals-bright
mortals-and meets them on a level.
He is more intent ON sailing down in
formation than i'll parade and mere
sight seeing. For example, after the
banquet by the Captains of Industry i'll
New York the Captains were present
ed to the Prince. For an hour he
talked with one after another of the
men who had been hidden to meet
him because they were esteemed to be
those who are most responsible for
the country's industrial greatness. He
seemed to be particularly anxious TO
question Mr. Schwab, Mr. Griscom
and Mr.. Morgan. At one time he had
John ID. Rockefeller standing on one
side of him and William Rockefeller on
the other. His Highness pumped
questions at each as fast as he could

long since given up the struggle, into
which they were drawn by the mis-
representations of self seeking leaders
and it is now carried on by the saw
age tribes never subdued by the Span
iards. The methods of these gangs of
thieves and cut Threats in their at
tacks on the peaceful natives as well
as the Americans are more treacherous
than were those of the Indians, and
the refinement of torture inflicted on
helpless captives, worse, if anything.
1t cannot cause surprise, however,
if now and then some hot-headed in
dividual breaks loose from restraint
and taking the chance of punishment
gives short shrift to some torturer of
an unfortunate comrade. But, in con-
sequence of a few isolated instances
of this sort, to charge the whole army
with such practices is as unfair as it
would be to accuse the whole people
of the United States of burning me-
groes because some meet that fate in
the southern states AS reasonably
might the "anti-imperialists be ac-
cused of making practice of break

AMERICAS VISITOR.

Prince Henry, as he travels through
greater race composite than Rome had
in the day of Caesar He will find in
the United States more persons, for
example, of German birth and ancestry
than are in Wurtemburg, Saxony,
Bavaria or any one of the other of the
two dozen kingdoms, grand duchies,
duchies and principalities composing
the German empire, except Prussia.
More persons of German birth and
lineage are in the city in which he
landed than are in any town i'll the
German empire except Berlin, Ham
burg Munich, and Leipsic. Some of
the other race ingredients are also
represented by very high figures III
the population total.
Yet all of these race stocks have
been thoroughly assimilated by their
residence in this country The men
met by Prince Henry who formerly
lived in the Princes country are
Americans and not Germans. Life in
the United States quickly makes the
people leading it, whether they come
from Ireland England, Germany or
Russia, something widely different
from their old compatriots on the 9th
err side of the Atlantic. The term
Irish American, German American or
the other prefiXes used to distinguish
the different race elements of the pop
lation are designations for convenience
only. They do not mark any great
divisions in the sentiment, predilec-
tions or aspirations of the mass of
which they are part. All are',Amer-
leans in ideas and feelings immediate
ly after their naturalization, whether
they come from the Rhine, the Shan
non, the Tiber or the Danube. The
second or third generation of these race
ingredients are as thoroughly Ameri-
can as are the descendants of the men
and women who came over in the May
flower.
William II has already expressed
his dislike of any and all compound
designations as applied to the various
elements of the population of the
United States. The Kaiser's brother
and personal representative while in
this country will find that in reality
there are no hyphens among us. Every
people under the sun has representa-
tives here but all are changed quick
ly after landing by the environment
in which they find themselves. Into
this crucible, continental in proper
tions, all the races of the world have
been pouring their contributions for
ages, and the result is blend which
Americans believe to be superior to
any found elsewhere on the globe, and
which is in any case widely different
from. anything seen anywhere else.

About the silliest of the many silly
bills before Congress is that which pro-
vides that the eight hour day shall be
enforced in all government work. OF
course the measure is vigorouly sup
ported by organized labor, but that
is not the only nor the most. obvious
objection to it. Compliance with such
a requirement would make it abso-
lutely impossible for shipyards and
steel manufacturers to do any work
for the government The proposed
law requires that no materials shall be
used on which labor has been employ
ed more than eight hours day. AS
raw materials may and do come from
any part of the world the requirement
is preposterous For example, the
finest ores in the world are the iron
ores of Cuba, Spain, Sweden, and Nor
way, and these are constantly bought
by our domestic manufacturers of
high grade pig iron to mix with
American ores. Again, the manufac-
ture of castings is necessarily con-
tinuous process and the production of
one weighing several hundred tons
cannot possibly be completed in eight
hours If it were not for the serious
inconvenience that would result it
would give a good lesson to the advo-

Secretary Longs recent utterances
as bearing on the ultimate destiny of
the Philippines seems to have given
rude shock to the anti -imperialist
press, which has been ascribing to
the administration all sorts of evil in
tentions toward the Filipinos. The
funny thing is that the said press
affects to find something novel in the
attitude of the administration equiva-
lent to a change of front. The trouble,
however, has been that the ants have
been so black in the face from shout
ing at an imaginary DOGGY man that
they have been blinded to anything
which might fairly be called the real
attitude of the Republican party.
They have been so busy shouting about
Kings and Emperors and oppression
and ramming freedom down the I'M
willing throat that they have sudden
ly been rudely Jared by the discovery
that nothing violent is contemplated.

1t will be harder to hit the polygam-
lists of Utah, if there are any such,
now than it was while they were a
territory. The State government and
State courts are controlled by the
Mormons All Mormons never were
polygamists. Those who were polyg-
amists were understood to have given
up polygamy before Utah entered
statehood in 1896. The remuneration
of that practice permanently was
made a condition precedent to the
erection of Utah into State. The
state makers pledged themselves to
prevent polygamy afterward and to
eXtirpate it if it should arise in their
State. The country took the Nor
mons at their word If they have de-
ceived the country-and many persons
on the ground say that they have

amendment will find many supporters.

Lord Rosebery still seems to be the
man Of the hour in England, although
in none of his speeches so far has he
laid down definite program for the
Liberals to follow or made any clear
declaration of willingness to lead. A
considerable portion of the liberal
party still regards him with suspicion
and sticks to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman. But Lord Roseberry has
his eye, perhaps, on the Liberal
Unionists, whom a Liberal imperial
programme might detach from the
government. There is a difference,
of course, between popular and parlia-
mentry strength. Lord Rosebery has
the former and it is this which will
give him in time the latter Both
Palmerston and Gladstone at various
times were out of favor with official
Liberalism, but the feeling of the
country was with them and they were
able to do as they liked. Lord Rose
bery's position may be not altogether
unlike theirs.

Gates of this silly measure to pass it
promptly and wait the consequences.

The Park Avenue hotel at New
York was said to be fire proof struc-
ture. 1t was fire proof by the stand
ards of 1878 when it was built.
There has been progress since then in
the art of fireproof and slow burning
construction, and the Park Avenue
hotel evidently did not profit by it,
There were wood floors and wood lin
ings to the elevator walls that carried
the flames, and above the fifth story
wooden staircases. The management
seemed to feel perfect confidence that
nothing could happen and apparently
urged the guests to stay and sleep
rather than to be ready to seek a ref
uge in view of the menace of the arm
DRY fire. There were no fire escapes
as none were required in a hotel of
that number of stories, and small, if
any, means to put out fire. The
damage done to the hotel proves that
in its main construction it was fire
proof. But this does not help those
who horribly lost their lives cropping
about in the smoke in the part of the
hotel which was not fireproof, and
where the fire was stimulated by in
fammable material. 1t was a case of
over confidence.
