The remains of Pope Leo NH We're
laid to rest last Saturday afternoon in
st. Peters. During the days the body
laid in state some 100000 people gazed
on all that was mortal of our lament
ed Pontitf. Representative of all the
civilized nations of the world mingled
with the common people of Italy to
do homage to the late head of the
Catholic Church and the grief poured
out on all sides was something rarely,
it ever, seen in the Eternal City. Well
might they grieve. for the greatest
friend of high and low, rich and poor
was now no more. Beloved by all,
Jew las we'll as Gentle, he left no
enemies behind. Following the solemn
exercises attending the funeral and the
prepared for them, the cardinals with

conclave which is to name the next
pope We're begun. The conclave open

the great responsibility will fall is vet
to be determined. On Tuesday requiem
masses for the repose of the soul of
the dead pontiff were celebrated in all
the Catholic churches of the world

train ran into q street car crowded
with people. There was evidently
gross negligence somewhere. It is
with pleasure we say that such an &C.
cident could not very easily occur in
this city. Street car conductors, IL
they follow the company's instructions,
always make sure the right-of-way is
theirs before they signal their cars to
cross railroad tracks. Too much
care cannot be exercised by public
utility companies, and if the same care
was exercised in other cities that is in
this city, there would be no such cas-
ualities as that which occurred in East
st. Louis.

and quietly waited for the next move.
Japan believing England would back
her up in her demands, held her ground
and for the past week or two the world
was waiting to hear the news of the
firing Of the first gun between
Russia and Japan. While all were
breathlessly awaiting the next move,
the news that all was lovely between
the two countries came joyfully over
the cable. There will, therefore, be
no war at this time, and when we
learn the full particulars we will find
that Russian diplomacy, backed up
by her readiness to accept the in
evitable, if necessary, was what made
Japan think Il second time before go
ing to war, the outcome of which
would be little less than disaster to
her.

While Secretary Chamberlain is not
saying much these days on his policy
OF protection, it must not be supposed
that he has abandoned the idea entire
ly; far from it. According to some
English papers he proposes to open up
the subject with more determine ton
than ever in the fall. He is already ut
work on his pet measure and though
opposed by his best friends, is determ-
ined to see it through if possible. Mr..
Chamberlain is Il man not to be daunt-
ed in anything he undertakes, and be-
ing a good debater will use every
measure of success at his command,
1t will. however, take him some time
to convince the people of Great Britain
that protection will help ,.lem to any
great extent. \ country like England
that is obliged to depend on the out
side world for her breadstuffs will
think Il long time before taxing the
neeessaries of life to keep up the gov

A head-on collision occurred last
Sunday morning on the Chicago Great
Western railroad in which some half
dozen people were killed, twice as
many seriously injured and score or
more slightly hurt. 1t was due to the
engineer of freight train misin-
terpreting his orders. Quite num-
Der of those killed and injured were
residents of this city. 1t is to be
hoped the proper authorities will make
a thorough investigation and place the
blame where it belongs. 1t appears to
the average thinking man that the
number of such accidents are too many
and something should be done to place
the blame where it belongs. The trav-
cling public are entitled to the best
and safest service possible, and too
much care cannot be exercised by all
railroads in doing this. Some one is

The walking mania has spread from
England to Irelald-most fads and
whims Go. from the fashions of ladies'
dresses to music hall songs" says
the Dublin Irish People. \ num-
Der of BelfaStmen walked in COM
petition to Ballymena some few weeks
ago: last Sunday thousands OF people
crowded the streets of Cork and all
along the fifteen miles of road to Cove
Post Office to see forty men walking
against ole another. Cyclists by the
hundred collided all aloll" the route:
horsemen endangered the lives of ped
estrians: carmen filled the Sabbath at
mosphere with language more suitable
to Belfast on the twelfth of July; the
whole city al,. a large section of the
county was turned topsy-turvy; and, at
the end, two Dublin men named For
roster and Hegarty finished in good
time. y still more acute phase of the
walking fever was manifested by a
MacrOnm nathan eX-soldier-who
started last Saturday morning OH Il
pedestrial tour clad only in his socks.
The II. l. c. have the name of being
cordial sympathiZers with "sport,' -
though clle of them did damn both the
motor race and the Twelfth of July.
But in Macroom they interfered with
the enterprising eX-sollier. He is to
be summoned. If he could have
travelled sixty miles an hour, like Il
motor car. he might be walking still.

call money. To prevent by violence,
or coercion or intimidation another
workman from taking or retaining EN-.
ployment which is satisfactory to him
is to offend against the plainest rule
of justice. To warrant an injunction
in a case like this the right to it must
be made clear, the injury impending
and irreparable if it fail. 1t is drast-
ic remedy to be invoked only where
the ordinary process of the law is pow
erless for relief
Judge Kelly quotes as follows from
Pope Leo's encyclical on labor: "The
great mistake made in regard to the
matter now under consideration, is to
take up with the notion that class is
naturally hostile to class, and that the
wealthy and the workingmen are in
tended by nature to live in mutual con-
tiict So irrational and so false is this
view, the direct contrary is the truth
Just as the symmetry of the human
frame is the resultant of the DISPOSE
ton of the bodily members, so in a
state is it ordained by nature that
these two classes should dwell in har-
mony and agreement and should, as it
We're, groove into one another, so as
to maintain the balance of the body
polite. Each needs the other; capital
cannot do without labor. nor labor
without capital
He thus closes his decision:
eff all the owners of capital and all
the owners of labor would pay heed
to the simple and beautiful lessons Of
justice taught in the encyclical form
which 1 have quoted, there would be
no labor troubles, for the occasions
from which they arise would cease to
exist
Whether the master plumbers in St.
Paul will take their case to the SUI
preme court or not, has not vet been
determined. The Minneapolis Building
Trades Council has already filed,
through its attorney, it's motion of
appeal, and as the merits of the two
cases are similar, the st. Paul plumb
ers may await the supreme courts de-
cision in the Minneapolis case. The
decision of the higher court will, there
fore, be looked forward to with much
interest by both capital and labor, as
it is of more than ordinary Importance
to both. The opinion as handed down
by Judge Kelly is ably supported by
a similar decision in Chicago in which
Judge Kavanagh holds that labor I'M
ions have a right to place pickets
about Il plant where strike is in
progress, as we'll as the right to per-
suade workmen to quit work.

The battlcship Kearsarge, which
with other ships of the navy has been
visiting in the ports of Germany, Den
mark and England, has returned home.
Her visit to European waters has had
no bad effect on either her good looks
or her health. In less than eight
weeks she has steamed $500 miles, has
been ut sea twenty-fOur days and in
port twenty-nine days and during all
that time there has not been single
accident to the machinery, nor II
breach or stop of amy kind. The navy
department is naturally very much
pleased at this very tlattering record.
This is the ship the Emperor of Ger
many was so enthusiastic over.

Recent reports from Austria would
tend to show disposition on the part
Of the friends of King Peter Kara
georgevitch to bring about union of
Servia and Bulgaria. This, of course,
would mean the deposing of Prince
Ferdinand. How the friends of the
latter would relish this change cannot
be anticipated at this time, but it can
be safely presumed that it would not
meet with their approval. According
to the report a secret meeting was re-
Gently held at Belgrade of Bulgarian
politicians, prominent Servians ana
MacedOnians, at which all the details
were agreed upon. 1t is supposed the
scheme also includes Il military con-
vention as we'll as customs union.
Those most interested say such a
union of forces would settle for all
time the Macedonian question and
make country strong enough to
overthrow Turkey, thus laying the
foundation for brighter future both
for Servia and Bulgaria. What truth
there is to the whole story cannot be
measured at this writing, but we need
not be surprised il some such change
were in contemplation.

General Leonard Wood has arrived
In Manila and, accompanied by Gov
ernor Taft and General Davis, will
make tour of inspection of the Moro
province. They will then commence
the circulation of the new currency
authorized by congress at its last ses-
sion. They anticipate considerable
trouble in adjusting it to the condi-
lions now existing there. The gem
eral opinion is that the new currency
will be limited by the Mexican coins
now in circulation, which, Of course,
will be legal tender. The visiting gen
eral, in company with Governor Taft

sonal inspection of the battalion of

Advices from Deadwood say the
mining industry in the Black Hills has
never been in so favorable condition
as at present. This is owing to the
large amount of outside capital that
has been invested there recently.
Those familiar with the situation say
that unless some unforeseen failure oc-
ours, that district will increase its ton
mage and output 80 per cent. during
the next six months. Last year the
quantity of gold mined amounted to
$S,OOO,OOO, and the present estimate
for this year, based on the output so
far, will exceed $10,0OO,OOO.

1t is 10 be hoped we have seen, so
to speak, the last of the Crimes Act
i'll Ireland. A few days ago a proc
lamation was issued and published in
the Dublin Gazette revoking the sum-
mary jurisdiction powers of the mag
istrates in those districts of Ireland
which still remain under it. This was
joyful news to Ireland coming at a
time when England's king was about
to visit the country unaccompanied by
any of the side lights of Scotland
Yard. 1t can be safely predicted that
Ireland will never again he cursed by
the odious Crimes Act. The heartless
magistrates and vindictive police will
not find life worth living now, and
what they will do to work off their
surplus wickedness is hard to say.
With the final passage of the land
purchase bill, the lords will end the
career Of large number Of these ell
emies of their own people and their
own country, and they will be forced
to turn their energies to some useful
occupation in life OF leave the country
whose people they loved to harass and
persecute.
