VEREENTGING: UNION.

afr. Balfours optimistic utterances on Friday
seem to be fully justified by news from South
Africa. Every day indicates more and more
clearly that the Beers are as earnest in making
peace as they were In making war. They have
accepted the sovereignty Of the British crown
as loyaIIy-we might almost say as enthusiast
caliy-as they three years ago rejected it. The
willy, reseureefui, seemingly implacable De
Wet Is urging mis- fellow Beers TO "show Great
Britain what good eoIonists they can make"
In various places the Beers on laying down
their arms have been giving three hearty
cheers for King Edward" Nowhere do we hear
Of any sullenness or of any disposition to re-
pudiate or even to resent the terms Of peace.
On the contrary, the best possible relations are
said to exist between the Beers and the British
at all points
This is most gratifying, even TO those who
have sympathized with the Beers and have
wished them success ia their heroic struggle
against the inevitable. For British mastery in
the end has been inevitable. and it is best to
accept it gracefully and make the best of it.
which is practically certain to he much better
than Boer independence could have been. Moth
ing would be gained by keeping up a guerilla
warfare by maintaining a sullen refusal to
fraternize with the British. The part of wis
dom is TO transform the late Boer States not
into another Poland, Ireland or Finland. but
into another Quebec or another Cape Colony
This the Beers can do the more easily and with
the less appearance Of humiliation and submis-
sion because of their marvellous display OF re-
sistance TO overwhelming force. They yield
ed with the honors Of war; they may now 10y
ally fraternize with their late opponents with
the honors Of peace.
The believer in signs and tokens might well
note significance in the Identity or in the name

THE TICKET BRIGAND MUST GO,

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
has rendered a decision of the highest impor-
lance and value to managers and patrons OF
places of amusement 1t has reached the con-
clllsion that tickets for the theatre and the
opera are personal, revocable licenses, ana
that therefore managers have the legal right
to refuse admission to those who have pur-
chased such tickets from spectators on the
sidewalks This decision is applicable TO
shows and spectacles of every variety.
Moreover the Appellate Division announces
that there are no doubtful questions of law IN
this matter and therefore the ticket specu-
lators cannot carry the controversy to the
Court of Appeals. These freebooters are smlt-
ten hip and thigh, and no longer have leg to
stand on. This is a result highly gratifying to
the public, and also to those managers of the
atres and other places Of amusement who
sincerely desire to protect their patrons from
extortien and i'll treatment. The way is now
open to every director of amusements to drive
away from the doors of the temples Of music
and the drama every insolent traf1cker in
tickets for which exorbtant prices are de-
manded. Those managers who in the future
tolerate the dealings of spectators can eonjufe
up no excuse for their misdeeds.

COST OF AMERICAN COAL.

- suggestive comparison is made in the June
"Cassier's," by a, S. e. Ackermann, between the
coal resources of America and those OF Great
Britain The writer is an Engiishman, and BIS
article is the result of an extended visit TO the
United States The investigation was under
taken primarily for the enlightenment OF MS
compatTiots Americans will be equally inter-
ested. however, in the inforIna tinn which he
affords. "a general way, Of course. they know
that the output of coal ia this country is almost
as large as that of Great Britain; that until re-
Gently the United States has exported very lit
tie of her product, ana that within the last two
or three gears there has been some improve
1nent But beyond these vague and elementary
ideas few people on this side Of the Atlantic
have any definite conception of the relative
status of tie American coal industry
To begin with, ME. Ackermann shows that the
area of coal fields here is about 225,6e6 square
miles and eaiy 1900 square miles in the United
Kingdom The American deposits have not
been worked SO long as the British. The former
are found il wider seams and practically level
strata, while the latter tilted up at all sorts
Of angles and are SO lean that vein fifteen
inches wide is not neglected. Perhaps the
greatest disparity exists between the depths at
which II is necessary TO work, disparity whose
Importance is recognized when the cost of hoist
can mines so deeper than TWO hundred feet.
while it is Lot uncommon On the other side OF
the Atlantic 10 mine coal four thousand feet
below the surface. Still another natural ad-
vantage enjoyed in this country is the relative
scarcity of FIRE damp.
When it comes TO actual mining operations
the American uses much more machinery than
his British cousin No specific reference is made
10 the difference in wages, which are greater
sn this country than In England; but Dir. Aczer-
mann says that the annual product of the Amer
ican miner averages 52e tons. while that of the
British miner is only 900 In the United States
legal damages in consequence of the subsistence
of the region over the mines are much lower
than abroad, because the land is usually owned
here by the coal companies In America the
railway freight charge a ton mile is about
tne-sixth az large as in Great Britain Two
causes operate TO produce that result Coal is
usually shipped in cars holding fifty tons on
shis side OF the Atlantic while on the other it is
broken I'D into six ton or ten ton lots Second
Iv. the original investment of capital In rail-
roads is much greater a mile in England than
tn America and the rates must be heavier in
order TO pay dividends. Before transportation
becomes necessary, and while the coal is yet at
fiae mouth of the mine, Mr. Aekermann believes
that the cash expenditure fl the United States
An eqasl advantage should be enjoyed then
after land carriage has been paid for three
times tie distance which British coal must
travel to reach the sesDosrd.

SCIENTIFIC SENSATIONALISM.

Some of the stories circulated within the
last few days in regard to recent or future
volcanic outbreaks on the American continent
should be listened to with great caution. Be
tween the natural disposition of most people
to exaggerate and the mischieyous desire
which animates more than a few to mislead
Intentionally, science is continually suffering
embarrassment. First there comes an alleged
discovery of d human skull under conditions
indicating that man has an antiquity hitherto
undreamed Of Then the public is told OF me-
teoric masses so huge and hot as TO make
rivers boil Shortly after the disappearance
of Andree explorers were sent off on one wild
goose chase after another, following up false
elews that in some instances were unques-
tionabIy supplied merely for the purpose Of
creating a sensation. More than one of the
narratives published since the reopening of
Mont Pelee and La Souffriere bear suspicious
resemblance to these fakes
The most credible of the lot, perhaps, is that
told by a passenger on a ship returning from
Alaska concerning Mount Redoute In the
first place, there is a volcanic peak which
bears that name. Secondly, it is correctly To-
Gated In the dispatches, near the shore of
Cooks Inlet. Thirdly, there is a long string
of extinct dormant or active volcanoes reach
ing westward from that region through the
AIeutian Islands. Russell who is probably
one of the best authorities on the subject, says
that a near neighbor of Redoute, Iliamna, has
been in a state of more or less lively eruption
since 1873. but he is silent to the condition
of the former 1t is not absolutely incredible
that Redoute has broken out within the last
few weeks. Should such prove to be the case,
the incident would be noteworthy. As for ST.
Augustine. On an island IN Cooks Inlet that
has been emitting steam since 1883, but it does
not appear that any serious change has occurred
OF late in its condition.
Then there is The Skagway Times'S' ae-
count of Mr.. Macfarland's thrilling experience
Oh Mount Blackburn" which is said to be near
the head Of the Muir glacier in Southeastern
Alaska. Now, the gaZetteers do not betray an
intimate acquaintance with this peak. Neither
does Russell. The latter, after declaring that
Mount st. Elias is not volcano, goes on TO
say of the region extending thence southeast
ward that so far as is known it contains only
one volcanic cone-Mount Edgecumbe, down
near Sitka. 1t is remotely possible that Rus
sell overlooked Mount Blackburn during his
personal inspection of the coast, Neverthe-
less. he is geo0gist of established reputation
while nobody seems to be able TO vouch for
AFR. Macfafiand. For the present both the
existence and reported condition Of Mount
