sOUyH AFRICAN LABoR PRoBLEus

1t would be pretty hard work to exaggerate
the gravity of the South African labor crisis
Recent dispatches have referred to it check
ing much needed railroad construction and as
suggesting the introduction of Chinese labor
ers. II is not only railroad construction that is
halted. The mines of the Rand are largely idle
I and every industry which requires much un-
skilled labor is embarrassed. This would be
unfortunate at any time. 1t is dOubly so just
now, at the end Of the war, because the sue
cessful re-establshment of peace and reorgani-
zation Of the States depend largely upon the
prompt resumption of and expansion OF in
dustry.
4 single item will show graphically how grave
the situation is. The mines of the Rand need
at least seventy-fve thousand men, and they
are able TO get only some forty-iVe hundred
month. AS many Of these retire at the end of
each month, al this rate it would take the best
part of two years TO get the mines fully manned
delay which would be intolerable and little
short of ruinous. No wonder men are consid-
ering the employment of other than black labor
At present, it must be remembered, unsklled
labor in those countries means black labor.
The Beers abhor labor in the mines, on rail-
roads and the like, and will none of ii, and
largely on that account there prevails a strong
prejudice against the employment of white
labor, which has operated to give monopoly
of the unskilled labor market to the blacks. A
great Native Labor Association has been
formed which undertakes to provide all the un-
skilled labor needed, and to which all employers
look for their supplies. At present, as we have
said IL is entirely unable TO supply the demand
for various reasons. Accordingly a vigorous effort
is being made TO induce white men TO enter the
field, especially volunteer soldiers of the Brit
ish army whose time Of service has expired.
To such latter an offer of five shillings day
"and all found is made. That is far more of
course. than the negro laborers get the rate to
the latter being from 30 to 35 shillings month
land all found" the finding" being probably
not half as costly as in the case Of white men
Yet the greater efficiency and steadiness Of
white laborers would 90 far toward counterbaI-
ancing the difference in wages
One powerful argument in favor Of white
labor rather than Chinese is the desrability of
making South Africa more largely white
mans country" The preponderance of negro
population is now far too great The social.
political and industrial welfare OF the land re-
quires large increase of the white population.
The Beers will doubtless increase much more
rapidly now than before the war But not in
! this generation viii they produce many labor
ers or farmers. IT is pointed out that in the
present congested state of the britlsh labor
/ market one hundred thousand able bodied men
could proftably be sent out from the United

4 sTATEsMAH OFF HIS GUARD.

What has happened TO Senator E. J. Car
mack and the crusade against Imperialism 10
which he has been solemnly pledging the Demo
cratic party: Only two weeks ago the Ten
nessee statesman could find no language pict-
uresque enough TO voice his contempt for other
besitating Democratic leaders who were trying
TO smugg1e the issue of imperialism out Of this
wears canvass: on such panicstricken counsel
Tors NJ. Carmack justly poured the vials of his
unteupered scorn. Il do not know" he said,
"of anything so well calculated 70 cover any
political party with ridcule and contempt as
-for ii to turn tail at the first fire and run away
''from an issue Il has deliberately made. ANY
'faitering in the Democratic opposition to Grim
final aggression would be not only crime from
s'the standpoint of patriotism, but an act of
monumental stupidity from n party stand

This Tirtuous and indignant protest was made
on the heels of Mr.. Csrmacks memorable tour
with Colonel Bryan through Massachusetts and
Maine Filled with fresh inspiration by contact
with the stern. unbending Anti-Imperialist
Leaguers Of New-England cheered by promises
Of aid from them in the conduct of the Demo-
cratic party's canvass for the House of Repre-
sentatives. and weighing himself in return
with pledges given them of loyalty to the cause
of Lopez and Of Aguinaldo, the impetuous Ten
nesseean doubtless rebuked his timorous aSsoc-
Efes out OF an open heart and with sincere and
settled purpose. Was II not he, In fact who

THE MAD DOG TRADITION.

Herpes zoster But TO the dear, dear legend OF
the rabid dog men cling as to the last hope Of
faith The moment a dog resents brutal treat
ment. or shows impatence at being teased and
tormented. or becomes thirsty in an arid land,
il is incumbent upon all right thinking men that
they shall raise the cry Mad dog" and chase
him furiousy about and beat him to death with
clubs ard stones Indeed. it has long been law,
and not merely crowner's quest law either, in
these enlightened parts that the so-Called mad
dog shall be incOntinently slain. But now this
temerarious Commissioner proposes that on
being called mad" by some street arab or
beery hobo dog shall not be killed off hand,
but shall be put into quarantine for time, to be
mt to death decently If rabies shall indeed be
developed. and to be restored to his owner if he
shall be found to be in proper health
4 long and lurid and most lamentable chap
ter must one day be added to the history of pop
uIar delusions upon the subject Of the mad dog.
Upon few other topics have men shown them
selves so irrational. We remember when it was
q cardinal article of belief that in the so-called
dog DAYS any anu every uOE WAS likely 10 go
mad spontaneously. 1t esteemed as
of the eternal verties that If perfectly healthy

dog that bit person must instantly be slaught-

doom the bitten person to dreadful death. As

in a mathematcally straight line and could not
be swerved therefrom. that he Stunned water

that persons afflicted with rabies assumed the
attitude, voice and actions of dog-these and
other like implicit beliefs, are they not all writ
ten in the book of mans superstitons?
Without further recalling all the variegated
details Cf this widespread and barbarous de-
lusion, it may be said advisedly that probably
not one "madNdog" in a hundred is really mad
that the popular conception of the causes. nat

THE MACEDONIAN BRIG4NDS.

The news that the brigands organization
known as the Macedonian Committee has failed

has split into two organizations, is scarcely
news at all At most it indicates not a new
thing bur merely Il continuation Of the status
ono For a wear or two past the committee
has been thus divided. There is thus no COM
fort to be extracted from the saying that when
thieves fall out honest men get their due

that anything has been gained thereby for non

Ious progress within a quarter century in the de

and the mansions occupied by some OF the best
known clubs in this metropolis are imposing
and worthy Of note. In Fifth-ave. the houses
of the University, the Union, the Metropolitan
and the Union League represent total outlay
Of much over S1,OO0,OO0 in each case for land,
building and contents, in fact, nearly 5000

But it is not the money spent that counts

London may be still the city Of clubs above

May there not be sufficient reason for the

the public treasury for the use Of their waste
