The End of Strikes.

We should all be glad to concur in
the opinion of John Mitchell that the
agreement of the miners and operators
upon the establishment of the conciia-
ton board suggested by the Gray com
mission marks the end of strikes in the
anthracite. region. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that Mr.. Mitchell's prediction
will prove true, and there is some
ground for such hope in the adoption
by the conciliators of the complete ma
chinery for the peaceful adjustment Of
every dispute likely to arise in the an
thracite region.
According to this agreement, griev-
ances are first to be submitted to the
mine foreman and may be appealed to
the superintendent or manager, then to
the Cancellation board, and after that
under the terms of the commissions
report, to an umpire to be appointed by
q judge of the United States circuit
court. Pending the ultimate decision
tueIc 10 W DC uO lHlcIIupllOH VI WOIh
This agreement places the miners un-
ion under obligations to prevent strikes.
at least until every means of concilia-
ton or arbitration authorized has been
exhausted. The effort to fulfill this
obligation in itself will reduce the pos
sibility of strikes to a minimum. 1t
will be better for the men and for the
operators by avoiding the loss sustain
ed by stoppage of work. 1t will elimi-
nate the chances of friction and tend to
the preservation Of the public peace.
If these salutary results can be OBJ
tanned by this policy in the anthracite
country, why would 1t not be a good
plan for all employers and employees
to adopt the same methods rather than
the wssteful and suicidal policy of re-
sorting to strikes and lockouts?

Railways. In the Philippines.

The need OF better means of trans
oortation and communication in the
Philippine Islands is generally recog-
nized. but whether it is the part of wis
dom FOR the government to permit the
building and operation Of railways and
telegraph lines by private corporation
is doubted in some quarters.
1t is understood that the American
Development company, private enter
prise, is ready to undertake the work
of building IN extensive system Of
railways in the Philippines, extending
from Manila southwark for several
hundred miles and taking in the larger
islands Of the center grOup-Cebu, Pa
M, Icyte and Samar-cOnnection with
Luzon being made by ferry.
Undoubtedly railroads are what the
Philippines most need. Nothing else
will contribute SO much to their com
mercial development and permanent
pacification. Great Britain has found
that as weapon of defense in a brown
or black colony the railroad is uneX-
celled India has $4,000 miles OF rail
road, folir-ffths of it being government
owned. Kitchener fought his way to
Khartum with ''the head of the rails"
as his base of supplies. The tide of
Burmese rebellion, which resembled
the Philippine instruction closely, was
steadily rolled back by the advancing
railroad, and all that territory through
which the road advanced seemed to be-
come pacified automatically.
The need of railroads in the Philip
pines both for commercial and political
reasons being recognized, the question
is whether it would be better thing
for the Philippine government to oper
ate the railroads itself or to grant a
franchise for private corporation. Al
though in the kingdom of Great Britain
private companies manage the rail
roads, in the British black and brown
colonies 90 per cent of the railroads be-
long to the government. The colonial
office found that in such colonies the
railroads must serve n dual function
as promoters Of commerce and as con-
seryitors of the peace. Sometimes mill
tary reasons would advise directing the
route into places different from those
advised by the voice of commerce alone.
In a semicivilized country the require
ments of strategy are often more i'm
perative than the demands of COM
mcrce.
Before the franchises are granted to
private corporations it would at least
be well to have the army engineers
survey proposed routes and report
their ideas of the relative ACCESSIBILITY
of government versus private owner
ship as well as the cost and probable
profits of the roads

career has been accounted for from
the day he arrived from Germany at

Board Of Pardons.

A new era for the Board OF Pardons
commenced February 9Th, when Gov.
ernor Peabody presided for the first
time. In his message the governor
recommended that the board be abol
ished, and when the meeting was
called to order last night he made n
short address. outlining his policy in
regard to pardons. He said that when
map had been clearly convicted he
saw no reason why the sentence
should not stand. He would consider
pardons only when new matter came
up after the conviction. He did not
approve, he said. OF pardoning on ac-
count OF the mere fact that they were
In jail for long time. 1t was the
business OF the courts to pass the sen.
tence.
In spite OF the fact that the cover.
nor did not approve of its existence,
Secretary Stonaker seemed deter
mined to convince him that the Board
OF Pardons was not useless. He pre-
sented a long list Of applications. and
the session lasted until nearly 1890.
when just two cases were reported IA
yorably. One was that OF John nc.
Donald, sentenced from Pueblo in 1901
for three to five years for forgery. II
was claimed that the alleged forgery
was nothing more than bar room
row. Mcdonald, 1t is said, was drunk,
and passed over the counter check
for $3.50, forged. He was recommend
ed for pardon.
The sentence of Charles Grabert.
sentenced from Lake county in 1902
for embezzlement for from two to two
and half years, was commuted to
July /, 1903. The plea was that Ora
bert. during the hard times. took ad.
vantage of the fact that he was GUS
todian OF the funds of the Ancient Or
der OF United WoEkmen, and that he
took money which he intended to pay
back. There were several Of his cred.
itors who appeared before the board.
The board decided to further inves-
tigate and to take under advisement
the application for the pardon of John
w. Buhrlage.
