"The Scotch Result"

an art student in Paris.
Mr.. 1nglis was visitor at Scotch yacht club
on the Clyde during regatta week, and one
night he was called for story. knowing,
he says, from books and experience, the density
of Scotchmen to American jokes, he told the
broadcast most pointed story he could think OF.
II was the old chestnut of the ncbriated Irish
man, who met a policeman and asked him the

"Thrce O'clock said the policeman.
"O didn't hear" said the lrishman.
"Thrcc o'clock" the cop yelled.
"Shmc, OF didn't hear that, either"
The cop then hit him three whacks on the

asked.
"Shure," said Pat. "O heard that, and Oi do

didn't mate yc at twilvc."
There was not Il ripple = appreciation on the
rows of Scotch faces before him, said Mr. lnglis.
They, one and all, were blank, and slowly each
Scotchman drained his whiskey to hide the fact.

Scotclman in the far corner break into a smile.

DISAPPEARANCE OF YANKEE
From the Chicago Tribune.

The vital statistics of Massachusetts,, recently
published in an official report, are causing con-
siderable surprise and much discussion in the
newspapers of that state. From statements print
ed i'll these papers it appears that during the
year 1900 1886 babies born in Massachu-
setS OF this number 37,772 were boys, 3j,Gli
girls; 23,0O6 of native and 5000 Of foreign
parentage. The population of the state in that
years was 2,S0j,3iG OF which number 1905 OPS
were native born and sI6,}24 foreign born. On
this basis the Boston Herald figures that while
the native born out number the foreign born by
more than two to one. the number of births
among the foreign born exceeds those among
the native born in about the same proportion.
The same paper states that in 1900 there We're
2i3i2 marriages, 1906 among the native and
S,S07 among tile foreign born, but as the result
of these marriages there were 81 children of
native and "A children of foreign parentage.
The rapid disappearance of the old American
stock has long been observed in Boston. but
from these statistics it would seem that the
same process is going on in the state at large.

"NHE ANNOUNCEMENT of
the refusal of the operators
a to confer jointly with the
United Mine Workers of
America in reference to anthracite
matters. While a disappointment to
many is at least better than prolonged
suspense. We must say, in all candor,
that we cannot perceive the wisdom of
that refusal 1t was Bismarck who
said that it never paid in diplomacy
to ignore substantial facts; and we
know Of no fact more substantial than
that the United Mine Workers of
America at this time represent abso-
lutely the labor employed in the an
thracite coal mines. Whether this
would have been true had the present
powers that be among the operators
two years ago taken heed of the coun-
sci given them by certain individual
operators of long experience, is now Il
profitless inquiry; the fact is that it is
true, and that it is truth of practi-
cal Importance in the immediate fu-
ture of the anthracite industry.
10 deny a hearing to the represent
tatiVes of the miners, lest it should
constitute a technical recognition of an
already substantially recognized fact,
is a development of casuistry too sub
tie for us TO comprehend. However,
it, also, is now fact; and the perth
nent question in reference to it is:
Shall it be made the signal of another
war? Under the authority placed by
the indianapolis convention in his
hands and in the hands of the eXecu-
tive board, which is pretty much the
same thing, John Mitchell could un-
doubtedly force q fight and bring to it
degree Of strength absent from the
struggle Of two years ago. But on the
other hand, the operators are now in
better shape for fight than they We're
then. There is no presidential cleo
ton pending; the uni1ication of control
of coal properties has progressed since
than and the financial ability of the
operators to endure a long and final
contest is much superior now to what
it was then.
These considerations, no less than
the fact that the mine workers are
now in the main contented in the en-
joyment of the ten per cent advance
and by no means eager to leopard
what they have for the faint possibility
of securing more, undoubtedly point in
the direction of peace. John Mitchell
is too good a general to risk the con-
sequences of Il desperate strike unless
he is convinced that the chances of vic
tory are on his side; and it is impossi-
BILE to figure out such Il preponderance

Fair Play for Labor.

age pension plan over the
h $4,000 employees of the Metro
polltan Street Railway COM
pany of New York, insuring for faithful
servants of long service adequate pro-
vision in their period of outworn use
fulness, is another economic sign of the
times. This company, under the signal
ly efficient management of Henry II.
NreeIand, ii graduate from the ranks,
had already gained favorable reputa-
ton for humane treatment of en-
ployes; and as result had built up Il
quality of service among those en-
ployes which is the envy of street rail-
way managers of other cities, The ad-
ditional step now taken is really an
evolution.
The secret of Mr.. Vreeland's success
In dealing With the labor problem, so
far as it can be explained apart from
the personality of the man himself, lies
in the fact that he has discountenanced
utterly all forms of socialistic aims
giving apd has made it rule to do
nothing for the men under him that
they are not willing, when given the
chance, to do for themselves, He has
provided chances for the employees un-
der his direction to occupy their hours
of leisure prohtably in wholesome
amusemeHts, in social relations and in
hearing good music and instructive lee
lures. And he has personally inter-
ested himself in seeing that they have
taken advantage of those chances. The
result is that while the wages paid
on the lines under his contral are no
higher than ON competitive lines his
company has the pick OF the men and
employment on the Metropolitan is

and Chronicle in timely
IL editorial calls attention to
the fact that congress has
still neglected to perform Il national
duty by failing to provide for pay
ment by the nation and government
of the debt incurred through the SER
vices of the eminent surgeons and
physicians who attended President
Mckinley during that terrible week
last September after he was shot down
by an assassin.
The murderer in that case did not
aim at the man but at the president.
McKinley's life was declared Il forfeit
because he stood for government and
law and organized society.
There has never been a thought in
the public mind of Withholding full
and ample compensation from the
learned and sliillful men who so nobly
and so ably devoted their professional
services to his welfare between the
hour he was shot and the moment of
his death. While unreasonable de-
mands should not be granted, it is
hardly probable that any of that char
acter have proceeded from that quar-
ter, and niggardlness would be justly
resented by the American people. 1t
is true, as the Medical News says, that
the surgeons in attendance literally
staked their future careers upon the
exercise OF their Judgment and pro-
fessional skill under the distressing
and inconvenient circumstances in
which they We're placed; and it is
equally true that 1.-The unfortunate ter
mination of the case does not lessen
the moral responsibility of the ma
tional government to provide due COM
pensation for this"
Why should the government be so
slow about paying its just debts?
Nearly six months have passed since
President Mcllinley's death, and over
three months since congress assem-
bled. 1t is time now for action.
