IT'S WORK OR GO TO JAIL.
NicaraEua's New Labor Law which seems
TO Make strikes Impossible.

The Legislature Of Nicaragua passed
on June 80, 1901, a law that caused general
CONSERVATION among all classes of society.
II was one of the most remarkable edicts
for regulating and defining labor In it's
relations with capital ever promulgated

such an cdict could never be enforced.

A. E. CLARKE IS SEVERE.
That Birch COulie Decision He Regards
as Bad Law and Bad Policy.

A. E. Clarke, general counsel for
the Minneapolis 4 St. Louis rail
road, severely criticises the deci-
sion Of the supreme court in the
Birch Coulie case involving title to
s., 800 in bonds voted by the town
ship Of Birch Coulie. Renville coun-
ty, as a bonus to the Minneapolis
& St. Louis road when it was first
built. The township contended
that as the road had neglected to
build small distance to the river
bank it had not fulfilled the agree
ment. Mr.. Clarke says:
81 am not only surprised at this de-
cision but indignant. While rarely
assume to criticize the decision of a
court l do not hesitate to say that
regard this decision as unjust and un-
justitiable. The facts are that Birch
Coulie township voted $500 in bonds
to the Minneapolis & ST. Louis on con-
dition that it build its road from Hop
kins "to, into, and through" ," the town
of Birch Coulie. The road was built,
entering the township at the east line,
and through to within $50 feet of the
Minnesota river. This space of $50 feet
is occupied by solid ridge of granite.
The district court held that by the
construction of the railroad to this
point the township had received all of
the benefits which it could have re-
ceived had the road been built to the
river. The supreme court holds that
this was not a substantial compliance
with the contract; but | am not ad-
Vlsed that any court or counsel has eX-
planned what advantage could have re-
suited to the township p from the con-
struction Of the road through the ridge
OF granite to the river | regard the
decision as bad law, bad policy, and
bad morals. The township has re-
celred the full consideration for which
the bonds were voted, but is relieved
from performance of its contract upon
grounds which seem to me wholly
techinal and devoid of merit

tractive form, to be magnifcently
displayed here by the Bostock-Fe-

most among these superlative fea-

its cosmopolitan congress OF the
peoples of the earth, gathered to-
gether from the remote lands of the
globe in one grand picture of inter-
national representation. There on
the midway, in the most picturesque
freedom of action, mingle the Turk,
from the land of the Sultan, the tall
and swarthy Arab, in the garb of
the desert, the dark skinned Egyp-
tian, with a face as solid as the
sphinx of his native land; the pirat-
ical Malay, direct from the China
seas; the easy going Mongolian, of
the Flowery Kingdom; the digniied
and cultured Japanese, of the Mika-
dos empire; the sturdy Briton and
his present enemy; the Boer, both
of whom we're a few months ago
fighting each other in the burning
sands Of the Transvaal; the Lascar,
with his queer wares from India;
the Kaffir and Zulu, in all their
savage glory from South Africa; the
South Sea and the Fiji Islanders
who, until brought to America, de-
voted their time exclusively to war
and cannibalism; the Teuton, with
his long pipe of the Fatherland, the
Highlander, with his bagpipe and
kits; Paddy: shallelah and all, off
for the Donnybrook fair, the Rus
sian Cossack, Of the army of the
Gar; the Mexican, with his velvet
clothes, gaudy sash and silver
braided sombrero; the Brazilian,
swarthy and sunburned, in the garb

fair haired Norwegian and Swede;

Circle; the American Indirn, the

VOLCANIC CATASIROPHES.

St. Pierre has been generally
compared to Pompeii. The
comparison is imaginative, but
not exact, says Edgar Saltus in
the New York Journal. In St.
Pierre destruction has been
plutonian. In Pompeii it was
relatively slight. Pompeii was
a town of about 10000 inhabi-
tants. Of these all save few
hundred escaped. The latter
were asphyxiated.
There had occurred a hail of
little stones. Then ensued
rain of ashes. It was that
which sufocated those who
remained. Thirty years ago
the same sort of thing hap
pened at Naples, but with this
difference-for protection um-
berellas suffced.
The comparison between St.
Pierre and Pompeii isn't there
fore admissible. Lisbon per-
haps would be more to the
point. The catastrophe which
occurred there was due, how
ever, not to an eruption, but
to an earthquake. It may be
worth noting that in modern
Greek earthquakes and erup-
tions are synonymous. They
are called theomenia, literally
Gods anger, term probab bly,
suggested by Psalm civ, 80:
He looketh on the earth and
it trembleth. He toucheth the
hills and they smoke"
Statisticans estimate that
through theomenia 100000
people have lost their lives.
To these must now be added
those who perished in Martin
ique. Yet, though the loss
there is prodigious, it is less
than that which Lisbon knew.
When the capital of Portu-
gal fell, Europe shook. The
Alps tottered. The Pyrenees
quivered as leaves do in a
storm. The convulsisn was
felt in Africa. Near Morocco
an entire city disappeared.
The earth opened. Teen it
closed. The city was gone.
The vibrations of the earth
quake extended to Finland
They reached Canada. They
affected even the Antilles.
Meanwhile at Lisbon in just
six minutes 10000 people died.
The catastrophe in the Carl
bean sea is therefore more
comparable to that than to the
accident at Pompeii. Investi-
cations have shown that in
Pompeii there was no fire, no
lava, none of the horrors the
southern sea has seen, but as
investigations have also shown
there have been mistakes.
The seminal, for instance,
who perished nobly, a nyrtar
to duty at his post, has turned
out to be footpad. Through
an error of antiquarians the
honors due to a hero have been
usurped by thief. 1t is COM
forting to conclude that in
honors as in horrors it is hu-
man to err.

of one grand dame of Washington,

young Archie was the son of the Presi-
dent and that he attended the public
school, the aristooratio visitor began
plying him with questions rs to his
studies, all Of which he answered In
a straightforward way Then, after
asking him about his fellow pupils,
she wanted to know If he did not find
that many Of the boys at the public
schools wore rough and common.
Archie's reply left no doubt rs to his
views ON the subject Of boys
"My papa says" he spoke up en-
phatically, "that there are tall boys
and short boys, and coed boys and bad
boys, and those are the only kinds of
boys there arc. Archie apparently
joined the last GLASS two days before she

Of the rules he was detained by the

RACE RIOT.

New York, Dec. ga race riot
which broke out in Harlem on Wednes-
day became almost battle between
negroes and whites in the open street,
the negroes being armed with revolv-
ers and other weapons and the whites
with stones. There were a hundred
fighters on each side. The negroes
beat the whites but were driven back
into their tenements by the police af-
ter they had chargd out on the whites
with pistols and razors. Fourteen ne
groes were arrested. -Four whites, in
Guiding a policeman, were badly shot
or cut.
The rioting was begun by some boys
stoning two colored girls who were
going to their homes. The girls told
their friends and dozen negroes seiz-
ed the white boys, boxed their ears
and struck several of them in the face.
The boys ran away and told some
white men, who returned and stoned
the negroes. More white men joined
the first band and all attacked the
negroes. The negroes armed them
selves with revolvers, sticks, bricks,
stones, razors, and other weapons they
could find. In the fight at close quar-
tcrs the negroes dashed into the street
hundred in all, slashing right and
left. The whites resisted with clubs
At this point squad of policemen
arrived on the scene and stopped the
rioting.

the industry and the higher the wage
the more protection is needed to in
sure those wages.
Even in cases where we can excel
and undersell the world the lowering
of the tariff is not wise, because what
does not come from abroad to compete
with our own, no one here is paying
taxes upon, even though there may be
rate against such merchandise in the
tariff act. Let it stand on the books
for the good it has done in the past,
for the same reason that the cradle is
not destroyed when the child begins

some day. A sea wall is never cut
down because the tide has remained
low for even years, but it is kept well
p reserved above the highest known

There is new industrial baby born
almost every day, and it will be time
enough to convert the cradle into
kindling wood when the babies cease
to be born. So with the sea wall.

it is doing good service now. To take
