For the Birds, welfare.

The government of India has at last decided that no more bird skins and plumage shall be exported to be offered up at the London feather market-the principal one in the world-on the altar of fashion. Again and again India has been urged to copy the legislation of the United States and to save the crops from the depredations of insects by sav- ing the birds from the shot and the moose of those in the pay of the traders. Among the visitors-and they have in- cluded English and foreign royalties who have passed through the acres of dock warehouses off Houndsditch on the days preceding the sales, held once every two months, none could have failed to be profoundly touched by the awful tributes exacted from India. The green parrots alone--so adaptable are they in the hands of the plumassier- may have been seen piled up by the hun- dreds of thousands-green hillocks iecked with crimson. The chagrin of the Indian trader can result only in yet greater prosperity to the ostrich farm CTS of South Africa.-Philadelph PraSS

The cohorts of muscle-armored col lege athletes who invaded the wheat fields of Kansas as wage-earpers seem
 to have been routed with heavy losses, and an appalling list of casualties
 making due allowance for the unsyn- pathetic bias of the western reports, in which may be detected an ann bushed hostility toward the effete east; it is to shed the passing tear over high hopes caved in, and strong backs so acutely kinked by garnering the golden grain that their hinges will not be strengthened out again before fall term time. Thus writes well known sporting journal editor. 1t was a magnificent little army of con centrated strenuosity that went west ward, from Harvard. Yale, Princeton and other foci of learning and cham pionships, taking it for granted that harvesting at high wages would be a picnic benehting both the pocket and the physical condition of the pilgrims. The plan of campaign read like the advance notices of a conquering in- vasion. The students were to 'go to the Dakotas when the harvesting in Kansas and Nebraska was over, and keep employed during the entire summer The blazing prairie heat and the wrenching, aching toll of the long, long day wilted these young young men, for they were out of their own world of endeavor. Ability to row four-mile race, or to practice in a shell or on a football field for two hours a day, involves great exertion, and requires high quality of pluck and endurance, but the days work of the farmland in harvest time has more back aches in 1t to the square inch than week of college training, unless the worker had been trained for that special form of physical ac- tivity. There is a bit of moral in the tragedy of the eastern athletes in Kansas. Youths who become notor- ious in their college careers for strength, feetness and skill afield and at1oat sometimes contract the belief that success will come running to them in the big, rough world outside, by virtue of their athletic achieve ments. They learn that it is case of every man to his trade, and that mere physical endurance and power

San Francisco granted five gas and electric franchises with the hopes that the competition of fighting between them would give the people cheaper service. Thus the five companies sold gas at 50 cents per 1000 feet and paid all their five expenses, making the cost of producing more than dou- ble what it would cost with one sys- tenn. But competition is impossible where combination is possible" and Spreckels has gobbled the whole push, and at once the price is doubled, says an exchange. The cheaper the pro- duction the more the price! The peo- pie did not have sense enough to elect people to have the public serve them, but elected lot of boodlers who got in rich gratis for granting franchises, and will now pay for their foolish ness. 'Rah for spreckels; he has some sense. The people whom his companies rob have not very much sense.

Notwithstanding the vast amount of timber land in the Philippine Islands it has been found necessary to get some from this side of. the globe for bridge building, says an exchange. It is difficult also to obtain speedy de- livery and recently it was found ex- pedient to import Oregon. pine from America for bridges, many of them being constructed to standard plans in Manila and shipped knocked down to the sites and there erected. Tn all this road and bridge work, na- tives were employed in large numbers and divided into squads, over each of which an engineer soldier acted as overseer. Non-commissioned officers of engineers were charged with gen. eral supervision over several squads,
 and all the engineer work in single district, usually embracing several provinces, was placed in charge of an engineer lieutenant who received his orders from the engineer officer of the department. Thus complete line of responsibility and control was arrang- ed which has worked satisfactorily in practice.

from different fields of abor which contained
food for reflection The strike in the textile
manufacturing establishments Of Philadelphia

thjrtv-six representing perhaps one hundred
thousand men, are demanding, not an increase
of wages or the same wages for smaller nuIn-
Der of working hours a week. but smaller
number of working hours with corresponding
reduction of wages. The explanation IS that
the men want more time for educauon, domesuc
duties and recreation. Perhaps they are WISE

If they were not bound by any agreement to
the contrary to strike for what they wanted
But the incident furnishes pretty conclusive
evidence that they have not been oppressed by
their employers in the matter OF wages we are
not aware that they have recently complained
Of their treatment in that respect and conse-
ouentlv we might not have thought it worth
while 70 offer a comment if the report Of the
position which they have taken had not hap
pened to appear simultaneously with an ac-
count of difficulty which has arisen in the

The advance was granted in pursuance of the
commissions findings. In this case, in that
of the textile workers, man is at liberty TO
throw up his job if he wants more time for rest
and recreation, but the conduct Of the miners
revives vivid recollections of their chief con-
tention in last years bitter controversy. From
first 10 last all possible occasions their leader
and spokesman fervently declared that their
pay was insufficient to provide them with
decent living. He represented that they were
miserable in body and mentally crushed. Their
lives were dark and hopeless. They had no
chance to rise to the stature of American man
hood. Their employers were cruel taskmasters,
who were not merely Indifferent 10 their suf
ferings but determined to keep them wretched

pathetic audience when be undertook to explain
it all away.
The stereotyped description Of the miners
distressful lot with which the country was so
familiar year ago and their appeals for Pc

Some impression, it seems to us. ought to be

sci 10 the Corporation is endeayoring 70 compel
the company TO remove them. His assistant
represented 10 the Supreme Court yesterday
that the law had been fagrantly violated in this
instance and therefore that a drastic remedy
WIS properly sought. In reply, counsel for the
company declared and showed that the parts Of
the building complained of were not in process
OF construction, but had been finished; that
what had been done had been done with the
consent Of the city authorities; that the plans
were fled with the Buildings Department in
1901; that the Municipal Assembly in the same
wear gave permission for the erection of the
portico as shown in the plans; that the city
was always represented during the construction
Of the building by an inspector from the Build

snd the adjournment Of the legislature had
made it impossible to obtain relief from that
quarter.
To this statement Of facts, which on the face
of il reveals 2 strange condition Of things and
indicates that the granting Of the judicial order
asked for by the Corporation Counsel would not
merely result in serious loss and injury TO the
company, but, in view Of all the circum-
stances be a great hardship, no answer that
amounted TO anything was made. If an ef-
fective answer is possible then MI Rives was
badly served by his subordinate Justice Blan-
chard reserved his decision but the impression
made upon his mind was clearly revealed when,
after several searching questions, he said:

for punishment, when Fifth-ave. throughout its
length and notably in the immediate vicinity,
displays numerous violations of the ordinance
to which year after year no attention has been
paid. Mr.. Vanderbilt, as one of our recent cor
respondents remarked. is entitled to press the
same question IL he pleases. But the @tran-
gest feature in both cases is that the encroach-
nent was authorized, and then carried out
without a protest being made until it was
thing accomplished. In the case of the trust
company the injustice is more conspicuous be-
cause of the character Of the building and the
consequences which its partial demolition woula
produce, and also because Of the long peflou
which elapsed between the filing OF the plans
and the present appeal to the court We cannot
say what decision Justice Blanchard may feel
bound under the law 10 render, but all right
minded citizens must share the astonlshmeht
which he expressed and the indignation when
he scarcely attempted to conceal.

IRrSHMEN DISCREDTTED.

It needed we suppose, just one diScoroaht
note in the worldwide chorus OF lhuishdn' !
protest against the crimes or klshlneh anu u
sympathy with the victims OF Russian say
accrv TO make the otherwise universal accord
tbe more noteworthy and impressive For
weeks men of all political parties, of all raclai
origins and of all religious creeds nave III
the name of a common humanity and common
spiritual sentiment been denouncing one ol
the most horrible outrages ever committed. but
now at last one factional voice is ralseu III
dissent and in protest, not against the cr4lne'
lint against condemnation of It. Perhaps as
we have said, it was necessary OF lneVitaoie
that q voice should thus be raised against hui
manity and in sympathy with dlaDoncal DdI-
harism. But it should have been some other
voice than that of Irishmen.
For ireland and Irishmen have known per-
secution. and have appealed to the world Tor
svmnatbv. and have received it in abundant
measure They have never suffered as nave
the Jews of Russia but they have made far
moro outcry over their woes, and they have
raceived sympathy and sucCor compared Win
which all that has been or is likely to be given TO
tha Jews of Russia is as but drop in DuckeI
Indeed. we may confidently say that IN TINS
co1,ntrv more has been said and done for suIfer-
ing Ireland than for the oppressed ana neeuy u
all the rest of the world. Can 1t be that any
Irishmen have become accustomed to such
treatment that they now think they nave
rnonopolv of the worlds grievances and are.
entitled to a monopoly of the worlds sym
pathy?
Such an attitude would do little credit 10
Ireland Precisely the reverse is what IS olc-
tsted by every sentiment Of justice ana hu-
manity. Their own woes should make TlSh-
men sympathetic with the sufferings OF others.
The generous aid which they have received
should inspire them with a readiness ana an
ca arcrness to see others aided. For them 10
oppose the movement in behalf of the RUSSIAN
Jews would be selfish, ungrateful and churllsh
70 2 degree which we cannot attribute to that
warm hearted and generous people The So
called United Irish-American Societies nave
discredited themselves and have cast dis
credit which we believe to be undeserved upon
the race which they profess to represent. The
resolutions which they adopted in this city OH
Sunday were of a piece with the cheers for the
Mahdi with which some brutally greeted the
news of the iIlustrtous Gordon's death. They
we're something which decent Irishmen the
world over will wish the world to forget.
