VACCINATION COMPULSORY.
The supreme Court rendered
decision last week that the vacana-
ton law as laid down by the board
of health was compulsory. The
court said: ''Leigslative grants of
power to municipalities, intended to
secure the preservation of the
public health and to provide for the
enforcement Of proper and necessary
sanitary regulations to prevent at
the spread of contagious diseases,
are, Notwithstanding the individual
liberty of the citizen ia in a measure
involved, entitled to a broad and
liberal construction by the courts
in aid OF the beneficial purposes of
their enactment.
The various provisions of a
municipal charter, adopted under the
constitution authorizing cities to
frame their own charters, as to
subjects properly belonging to the
government of municipalities, have
all the forced effect of legislative en-
actments.
The provisions of the charter of
the city of st. Paul, adopted under
and pursuant to constitutional
authority, providing for -commis-
sioner of health and defining his
duties, held valid, and, as respects
the duties there imposed on such
commissioner, self-executing, re-
quiring no action on the part of the
board of health, or the city council,
to authorize the performance of the
same.
A general grant of power in broad
and comprehensive terms to do. all
acts and make all rules and regula-
ton deemed necessary and expedi-
ent for the preservation of the
public health, vests in the authorities
to whom granted power to enforce,
in cases of emergency rendering it
reasonably necessary in the interests
of the public health and for the pre-
veniton of a spread Of smallpox, a
regulation requiring children to be
vaccinatied as a. condition to their
admission to the public schools. y
This sutsains Judge Browns de-
cision it reasonably necessary in the
interests of the bublic health and
for the preventation of the spread
Of smallpox, reg ulation requiring
chilrden to be vaccinated as a con-
dition to their admission to the
public schools
This sustains Judge Browns de-
cision wherein he held a son Of
Mr. Walkers could be prevented
from attending our school because
the boy would not undergo
vaccination.

markable specialize for each row of
men when viewed from afar, does
appear to be an animated line carved
out of single substance and moving as
an entity. This sort of thing has be-
come a fetch III the German army !;
and in the Franco Prdssian war, during
the early battles, it did much to aug
ment the casualty list even in the face
of disorganized resistance and inferior
weapons. This fact seems to have i'm
pressed the French and to have been
remembered by them; for in 1887, long
before South Africa had revolutionized
infantry tactics, Gen. Boulanger, in
those manouvres which gave such Of
fense to Bismarck because they were
carried on too near the frontiers of Al
SAGE, taught his men to employ the
open formation in an advance upon a
concealed enemy. Great masses of arm
ed men have an imposing effect; per
haps at times they influence the emo
rale" of an inferior foe but like the
spectacular cavalry charge with which
the Kaiser concluded his military dis
play, they will probably have no place
il the warfare of the future.

The time has arrived in Canada when
the quality of immigration is to receive
more careful attention than it has
hitherto. Like the United States in its
younger days, the effort has been to
get population that would count in the.
census returns without very much care
as to what it offered in the way of
prospective citizenship. The last arrival
of emigrants has challenged very
pointedly the wisdom Of helping COM
nunities, not easy of racial digestion, to
settle in the northwest.
For the first step in self-protection
Canada owes much to the plain talk Of
United States Commissioner Watchorn
He has been sitting out the stream Of
European immigration which flows
through Montreal and across the Amer
lean border into the United States,
leaving here, as on dump heap, the
refuse which American regulations will
not permit to enter the republic.
And he has been perfectly frank
about it, with the result that our people
have found out that the city was being
filled up with paupers from southern
Europe, Afflicted with contagious disea-
ses, who were deemed unfit for adrnis-
sion to the United States. Commis-
sioner Watchorn said he would be de-
lighted if Canada would make her laws
strict enough TO keep such persons out
of the Dominion, so that they would be
stopped at the mouth of the St. Law
renee and be would not be bothered
with them here.
The result is new official order on
the subject which should make it clear
to steamship companies that there is no
longer any place sn this side of the
Atlantic where they can land hopeless
paupers or persons afflicted with conta-
giouS disease.

Provincial Jealousy.
States Rights Agitations Over
the Canada Line.

Something like Estates rights
agitation. is developing in Canada and
may play large part in the politics of
the future. According to the Canadian
constitution there is a redistribution of
the parliamentary constituencies after
each census, the redistributing being
done by parliament itself. The numb
er of members to be allotted to each
province depends upon its population
as shown by the census. Quebec is
made a fixture, with sixty-fve members
aud its population, divided by o5, gives
the unit of representation, which,
when divided into the population o the
ether provinces, shows the humber OF
members to which they are each en-
tit cd.
The last census reported Quebec as
growing far faster than the maritime
provinces; so, according to the constit-
ution, the representation cf the mart
ime provinces in parliament should be
reduced before the next elections. But
the provincial leaders from these prov
inces unitedly say mo" and they are
said to shave the support of Premier
Ro5szo Ontario. It is their assertion
that it was an implied part of the bar
gain of confederation that they should
never have their delegations to parli-
anent cut down. They we're cut down
after the census of 18oo If there is to
be a further Gilt, they see maritime

province members are pledged to or

their representation, no matter what the |
may say. Their repres-
sntation in the Senate is, Of course, fixed

The Presidents Efforts To End
Coal Strike.
Governor Stone Also Aids.
Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil.

{ New York, October zth.-President
Roosevelt is making every effort to end
the coal strike before the cold weather
sets in. Labor Commissioner Carroll
has been directed to confer with Presi-
dent Mitchell, and to give every aid
towards a Solution of the difficulties now
pending between the miners and the
operators.
Governor Stone is also at work. and
he has set the Republican political ma
chinery in Pennsylvania into action for
a rapid settlement. 1t is now agreed
on all sides that continuance of the
strike for another month will mean
great suffering in the mining districts
as well as among the poor people Of the
large cities of the Union.
President Roosevelt is devoting most
Of his time to the settlement of the stri-
ke and the people look forward to an
early settlement
The general comment is that now
that the president has taken the matter
up he must not permit cf any failure to
close the strike.

SAN jUAN, OCTOBER 7
The Case Of
Col. St. RemY,

Whatever causes any clash of feel
ing between the army and the govern
ment in France is worthy of attention,
because in the past some very serious
occurrences have sprung from such
cause. Just now the case of Col. St.
Remy is exciting good deal Of atten-
ton, and the army is reported to be
greatly stirred. 1t will be remembered
that few weeks ago Col. St. Reny
was ordered to employ the troops un-
der his command TO break up the un-
authorized" religious establishments in
Brittany. Being a devout Catholic and
probably royalist, he refused obedi-
ence, was placed under arrest; and tried
by court-martial His defense was a
curious one. His advocate contending
that although the order which he dis
obeyed was issued by the commanding
general, it reached him by the hands
of civil officer and not through the
usual military channels. Hence, he
justified his refusal to obey it.
This peculiar defense appealed 10 the
sympathies of the Officers composing
the court-.nartial for the French SOL
dier is always intensely sepsitive; about
any interference from civilians whom
he scorntully describes as "pekins'
Hence, the court-martial, though find
ing the colonel guilty, sentenced him
to the farcicll penalty of one days i'm
prisonment. The government very
naturally took this verdict as direct
slap in the face; and the Minister Of
War, acting under his reserved poSers.
at once dismissed Col. St. Remy from
the armT.
In doing so he stirred up veritable
hornets nest; for the army is furious at
this overriding tsf the cn.11'f-trl artiat's
verdict while the Radicals and Socialists
are denouncing court-martials as aris-
tocratic and class Institutions, and are
demanding that soldiers be tried hereaf-
ter in the civil courts. | his proposal
only increases the army's irritation
and, altogether, tie situation is one
which might, under some circumstances
entail formidable results
But the general reigp OF mediocrity
in contemporary France has this much
in its favor: that however great the
discomfort in any section Of the people,
there exists no brilliant, forceful, over
bearing leader to take advantage Of it
for his o yn ends. Trench public life
to-day is dead level. :fhe Repub-

The German Army.

The States papers repeat tnat a.
the conclusion cf the recent snanoeuvres
OF the German arms, the Kaiser asked
the English and American military
representatives to criticiss with perfect
frankness anything in what they had
seen which appeared to call for criti-
cism. All the English and Americans
agreed that the solidity of the German
infantry formation was a great mistake,
especially since the lessons OF the Sott5iil
African war. The fact tnat SucIi cri-
tieism could be made shows how hard il
is for tradition to die cut. The Germans
have certainly brought military science
to the very highest pitch and they are
eager TO learn from every new source
