one section of the strikers, In spite Of all pro-
fessions of respect for law, see victory only IN
lawlessness- They want liberty to attack the
scabs, and thus frankly avow it When theg
object to the troops because they preserve
order and protect scabs," they can only mean
that their purpose and desire is TO riot and vlo-
lently indulge their hatred against scabs- That
is not President MitchelFs professed attitude
If he really does wish to see the law obeyed
and even scabs protected in their legal rights
he should most emphatically repudiate such Ut
terances and give his support TO the authorizes
in stationng troops to prevent possible disorder
Those who do not wish TO break the law can
have no objection to the agencies of law en-
forcement- The scabs may be justly disliked oy
Mr.. Mitchell; he may foresee that If enough OF
them work his strike is ruined; but he must
admit their legal right to work if they choose
and the duty Of the government to protect them
in doing. If he truly wishes. whether ne
wins or loses. that his followers should respect
the law he has no reason to ask for the With
drawal Of the troops.
New-York tribune., 1902-08-03
TROOPS AND STRIKERS.

The demands being made on behalf OF the
strikers that the troops be removed from the
neighborhood of the coal mines are, Of course.
founded on the assumption that their presence
is unnecessary for the protection Of persons or
property. Assurances are plenty that the strik-
ers have no disposition to break the law, and
their president Mr.. Mitchell counseis strict re-
gard by the union miners for the legal rights
of others. and declares that such violence as
has occurred is only the outbreak of a few ire
sponsfble individuals with whom the organiza-
ton does not sympathize Mr.. Mitchell in his
speech on Friday at Scranton said:
The among you who violates the law is
the worst enemy you have No one is more
of disorder in the coal regions. want our men
TO exercise the rights that inure TO them under
the laws. but want that no man shall trans
gress the laws.
That is q perfectly correct attitude. Does ii,
however, represent the view Of the great body
CT the strikers: If So why are they so anxious
TO have the troops sent home? If they have no
desire TO break the law, they can have no OBJ
lection to the guardians of the law being on
duty. The troops will be in perfect harmony
with the great body Of the strikers who follow
Mr Mitchell. and will merely restrain the small
minority Of hotheaded men who, If they did not
feel the active presence Of lawful authority
able In case OF need to restrain them, might
break out into lawlessness which, as Mr..
Mitchell points out, would disgrace the strikers
&nd irreparably iniure their cause. The militia
man who is employed to guard mines and pro-
fect persons desiring TO work in the enjoyment
of their legal rights should be welcomed by every
man who sincerely desires to see the law re-
spected. That man may indeed feel that the
guard was unnecessary. He may think the
calling out Of the troops in some respects q re-
fection upon his orderly disposition as well as
that of a few irresponsible followers In his
train, but that fact does not justify him In re-
garding the soldiers as enemies dealing serious
blows at the strike cause Yet in spite of Mr.
Mitchell's declarations this is exactly the atti-
tude taken, not by few isolated individuals
but by one of the official organs OF organized
labor. The Trade Unionst" the organ OF the
striking miners In the Bszleton district do
nounces the presence OF the troops, and SAYS:
The sth and 18th regiments are now on the
seene to preserve order and protect scabs and
thugs in Shenandoah.
So the protection Of scabs Is Objectionable
License is wanted TO attack them and drive
them from the work which it is undoubtedly
their legal right TO perform. That is why the
troops are unwelcome and their removal is So
ardently desired. Nobody can possibly be
Aggraeved by the protection OF scabs unless he
wishes the door opened TO the injury of those
scabs. The complaint OF ''The Trade Untonist-
throws food of light on the demands for the
recall OF The troops. 1t suggests that at least

CHINA AND THE HAGUE.

Many less desirable things might happen than
that China should appeal TO the tribunal at The
Hague for adjudication of the dispute over the
payment of her indemnity to the powers. The
case is one well suited TO such disposition 1t
does not involve the honor or integrity or any
country, but merely the Interpretation OF q
treaty 1t is question upon which there may
be honest and Intelligent differences of opinion
and upon which there certainly are now radical
differences of contention. There can. OF course
be no thought of fighting over it There should
be entire readiness all hands TO submit IL 10
judicial and impartial arbitration
There can be no question as to Chinas good
standing before that court. No narrow caste
nreiudices against the yellow race on the part
of Caucasians or against 'pagans' on the part
of Christians can stand in the way. China was
invited with other on-Caucasian and nom
Christian nations. 10 take part in the Peace
Congress at The Hague. and she did so. and
was among the first to ratify the treaty. II she
was good enough for that she must certainly De
good enough 10 have a complete and unlmpeach-
able status before the international tribunal
We have hitherto explained in detail the
nature OF the dispute. China claims the rlght
to nav the indemnity 10 the powers in silver,
her standard currency and the currency IN
which the powers pay her their customs duties
and she insists that such was the explicit under-
standing at the time Of the making OF the treaty
under which she bound herself to pay the IN
demnity. In such views Of the case the United
States agrees with China, and So We believe
do Great Britain and Japan. On the other
hand, Russia and other powers demand thaI
although China receives only silver from them'
she shall pay them in gold
IT is a DISPUTE which China might confidently
submit 10 arbitration. It is one of sufficient
dignity and weight TO be worthy of the tri-
bunaI at The Hague. 1t would give to that
court its first really important task involving
the determination Of q great principle; and such
submission and disposition of it would mate
rally promote the cause Of arbitration and OF
fraternaI fellowship among the nations without
regard to race C? creed

RABBI AND HIS TEACHING

The death and burial of Rabbi Joseph formed
an incident unique in the history of New-York,
alike in its actuality and In its suggestion. 1t
was wonderfully impressive that vast outpour-
ing Of mourning multitudes. simply in point of
numbers The scores Of thousands who fol-
lowed that humble coffin were comparable in
that respect with those who have paid tribute
to the stately biers of the nations mightiest
and best beloved. It was impressive, too In its
antique and exotic aspects. The strange garbs
the alien tongues the weird and thrilling ulula-
tions, the gestures Of unutterable woe affected
eye and ear as though transplanted from the
mystic Orient. or from the Talmud; as indeed
they were. The amazing mingling of repre-
sentatives of many lands, Austrian. Pole Ru-
manan, Croatian, Russian. Hungarian and who
not else. seemed like veritable marshalIing of
the Lost Tribes. Never was anything like it
seen before within the limits Of Manhattan. If,
indeed, in any city in the world. For where
else should it be than in this capital of the
Jewish world, this most populous Jewish city
the globe has borne since Titus DESTROYED
Jerusalem?
There was, tOo wealth of suggestion in the
scene. Men talk lightly of the decline of faith
But here was a many myriaded manifestation
Of the puissant vitality of a faith that was hoar
with age not only when the of Fespasian
sacked Jerusalem, but when the son of Mars
and Rhea Silvia founded Rome itself Men
speak of the passing of the heroic age in which
there were compelling personalities and great
individual leaders of men. But here was q
man who, through sheer conStraint of cbarac-
ter, commanded the obedience the devotion and
the love of uncounted multitudes We have
spoken of the variety of tongues and races in
that funeral train. They were numerous They
were heterogeneous. They were in all respects
but one antagonistic But in one respect they
harmonious and united and that was in
their affection for and their loyal following after
this one man. II was the unifer He was the
supreme leader. He typifed and embodied in
himself the overmastering qualities of personal
dominance of which We think vaguely and re-
motely in thoughts of Moses and of Zerdusbt
and of Buddha, and OF Mahomet We shall
not call it a renascepce of faith and of leader
ship It was demonstration of their uubroLen
Immortality.
Nor was the incident devoid of civic lessons
which New-York may profitably learn 1t was
we have said reminder that this is the chief
Jewish city of the world 1t was likewise a re-
minder that this is the most cosmopolitan of
cities. and therefore should be-what? Assured
". the most tolerant and respectful giving the
fullest freedom of belief and of rite, and per-
of caste persecution or of that abominable
thing which men call the Judenhetze But with
at least equal emphasis it should also be as har-

DAMNING NILE AND CROTON.

The announcement of the completion of the
stupendous dam across the Nile at Assouan,
near the First Cataract, inevitably suggests
some comparisons of that work with the new
Croton dam, which. after ten years of work
considerably more than twice as long time as
has been spent on the Nile dam-is still far
from being finished Such comparisons may be
more academic than practical, since there are
some radical differences in the conditions under
which the two works have been performed
Nevertheless. they will be interesting and in
structive.
The Nile dam is about mile and a quarter
long, the Croton dam scarcely a quarter of
mile The former rises ninety feet above the
river bed. the latter 159 feet. The Nile dam
rests upon solid granite at the bottom of the
river. while the Croton dam extends seventy
feet below that level. The sectional forms OF
the two dams are much alike, but the Nile dam
is thirty feet wide at the top, while the Croton
is to be only eighteen. The dam at Assouah
will impound 2200000O000O gallons of water,
and that at Cornell only 80 100000. The one
is intended exclusively for the regulation of the
river for agricultural irrigation. the other Tor
supplying the second city of the world Win
water for all uses Each is, of its class, pretty
nearly the greatest in the world, IN some re-
spects the very greatest.
While the Nile dam is much larger than the
Croton, 1t would not be Just to rail because the
latter is taking much longer to build. Mr. Cole
man has not been able to put fifteen thousand
Fellaheen at work in the Croton Valley; and ne
has not had all his building material right at
hand Nevertheless, if Sir John Arid could COM
pIete the Assouau dam in trif1e less than four
years or a wear less than his contract specified.
it ought not to take much beyond ten years to
finish the Croton dam, especially since five
years was the time originally allotted to 1t by
the engineers.

HRS. STODDARD.

Mrs Stoddard was an original and intellectual
woman, of type rare enough in the literary
ranks of any generation. and decidedly uncom-
mon in our own. To the younger readers OF to-
day the news Of her death is probably of FAR
less significance than it is to their elders; but
the latter still form public large and faith
full, and. Furthermore, their appreciation of this
writer is certain, in due course, to be ratified
by an ever increasing circle. Neither as poet
nor as novelist was Mrs. StOddard imbued with
the utmost creative power; but she possessed
genius in q measure-in both the spheres OF
literary activity which she adorned she exer-
cised with substantial effect certain gifts of
high order. Her novels make up for what they
lack in construction, and in what we may call
the sentimental drama of popular fiction, in feel
ing for character, in emotional force in sincerity
and thought The play OF a rich and varied
mind, in fact is potent in all her prose, and II is
no exaggeration to say that 1.-TWO Men," TEN
pie House" and '"The MOrgesons' contain in
sheer knowledge of human nature enough
strength to furnish forth half dozen books
In the preface to the new and revised edition
of these three long stories, which was published
only last year she said Il suppose Il was en-
''vironment that caused 10 write these
novels" and no doubt she was right; but the
value OF her work-and it has very serious value
resides in the fact that she filed it with the
essentials of her thoughtful individuality.
Her poetry is even more clearly the expression
of her nature and here, while practising often
an irregularity OF form suggestive of the con-
structive limitations of her novels, she COM
pletely obscured and, indeed. invalidated the
claims of merely academic art by communicate
ing to her lines the music which is, after all,
the first element In poetry. Here. too, she was
thoughtful well as impassioned. The woman
in II love you, but sense Of pain" one of her
most characteristic pieces. is not content with
the passing and more obvious aspects of love,
and all through her intense, sometimes melan-
choly and often beautiful works Mrs. Stoddard
conveys the impression of the writer whose
ceptional quality must always excite peculiar
admiration. the writer who sees in life much
more than lies upon the surface, and touches
the heart while charming the Imagination

monious as 1t is heterogeneous, as united as 1t
is diverse. If these myriads OF people. from
many lands with all their rivalries. antipathles
and enmities, could through the magic alchemy
of this one personality be welded into coherent
whole surely at least much should be done
with all our varied elements under the influence
of civic aspirations. New-York, city and State
and America as names and as symbols of the
things for which names stand, should be not
less potent than the name of Rabbi Joseph.

All the men in authority in New-York. all the
leaders of public sentiment and the great mass
of honest citizens, should set their faces like
flint against the iniquitous schemes to sur
render Central Bridge and Washington Bridge
to the trolley lines. Consider the incalculable
mischief which the handing over of the Brooklyn
'idge to the trolleys has done. The trolley
companies should build their own bridges above
the Harlem or dig their own tunnels beneath
the stream But they are always like the
daughters of the horse Ieech. and always asking
for more.
