increases wages because he can afford
to do so. The Capitalist and the
greedy employer pay their part.
There is little doubt that those who suffer
most, those upon whom tn, burden
falls most heavily, those perhaps who
pay the greater part Of that increase,
are those having practically hxed in

We offer no argument whatever against
unionisms purpose to obtain for it's
members the highest possible wage.
But neither unionism nor society at
large should forget that while fraction
of labor's greater gains may come from
the pockets Of its employers, very large
share OF them comes directly from those
who, though unable to speak forcefully
for themselves through organization,
are quite as much to be regarded as
"toilers" as are tn, members of powerful
labor unions. 1t is the poorly paid
clerk and the struggling salesgirl who
pay for an appreciable share OF the
laboring mans holiday.

In an address to the undergraduates Of
Rochester University. its former president,
the Hon. DAVID JAYNE HILL, now Minister
to Switzerland, gave this recipe to college
graduates striving for success:
Good health. good morals, good manners"
Good health is usually necessary, and
morals must at least not be bad enough to
attract unfavorable notice, before success
is attained. An engaging and a plausible
address must be great help to the strug-
gler. But are successful men especially
distinguished by the superior charm Of their
manners? In playing the Survival Of the
Fittest, does politeness have leading
partf
We hope SO. We ask on account Of a
sociological interest in the subject. In
deed, we trust that good manners are
mark and condition precedent Of the suo-
cessful, Then good manners may come to
be cultivated for q sound economic reason.
At present. we might not be justified in as
serting that the most successful college
graduates are the most urbane. To be
agreeable Is a sufficient art, as important
to the world. perhaps, as success.

and title Of King-Sovereign over the
new State.
- In view Of the fact that the United
States Government was not concerned
or involved In this actual creation OF
the present organization, II is difficult
to see how we have anything to do with
the matter unless 1t Is our purpose to
assume the dual role Of world Judge and
world policeman. We are under no
legal obligation to interfere, nor are we
bound by any law of international
morals. Upon this ground Mr.. RoosE-
WELT has done wisely to keep us out OF
the tangle.
The second reason Is that, while ample
evidence has been submitted to show
that barbarities and cruelties have at
tended the process Of development
toward civilization in that vast area with
its estimated 30 1000 900 people, it has not
been shown that the Belgian authorities
are so distinctly culpable as to warrant
the Intervention of even the Powers
signatory to the Berlin Act of 1885. The
charges preferred come from English
men chiefly, and are presented in the
name of humanity. But the case has
not been made clear, despite the evidence
submitted by the Congo Reform Asso-
citation, and counter charges are not
lacking Of British national self-interest in
the matter. The Congo country marches
with Englands Rhodesian border; a
British port at Bona would open much
shorter route than the present as an
outlet for an enormous British area; and
a strip from the eastern side Of the Congo
Free State would give England pro-
prietorship over an unbroken stretch
from Cairo to Cape Town.
For these reasons, first, that we are
not bound to interfere, and, secondly,
that case has not been made which
justifes interference on the ground Of
humanity, it is we'll for the United States
to let the Congo question alone.

The War Bacillus.

There has been nothing more touching
since the Venezuela message than RICH
ARD OLNEY's appeal in Faneuil Hall to
the Archbishop of Canterbury to assist,
as an Apostle of Peace, in the extermina-
ton of "the war bacillus that has got into
the American blood -".
The infection was thus described to
the Archbishop by Mr.. OLNEY:
Under Its influence we changing from a
pacific people to people under arms: arc assum.
ing to rival in lighting ability and readiness the
great nghtlng States Of Europe and are bringing
upon ourselves and our pnstsrity the onerous tax
alton and all the other misenes inseparable from
great and Immediately effective military strength"
Can this be the same RICHARD OLNEY
who hailed and welcomed the bacillus
four years ago in this hearty fashion:
THE Isolation policy and practice have tended
TO beli,tle the national character, have led TO a
spirit of provlncallsm and to narrow views of our
duties and functions, They havecaused us to ignore
tho importance OF sea power and TO look with equa-
nimlty upon the decay of our navy The
United States has come out of its shell and ceased
TO be hermit among the nations. naturally and
~
the United States cannot play the par; In the worlds
affairs 1t has Just assumed without eaulppine Itself
for the part with all the Observation-Disclosures necessary
to make It's will felt either through pacific Inter
course and negotiation through force. =
The equipment needed for our new international
role need not be discussed atfans lcnSth4 We must
have 1.-THE need viii be forced on US by facts the
logic of which will be irresistible-and however
slow to move indsposed 10 fac. the facts. the
national Government must sooner or later provide
It. To be weak is miserable, and to seem
weak, however strong lp reality, often comes to
about the same thing"
Very likely the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury had never read the Hon. RICHARD
OLNEY's strenuous titterances in the
Atlantic Monthly for March, 1900. If he
had read them, the Archbishop of Can
terbury must have been somewhat puz-
zled in Faneuil Hall.

The Elephant Plague in India-An Appeal by
the franciscan Missionaries.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-!S!f: Certainly no
country OF the world has undergone such terrible
afnictions for many years In succession as india
who would have forgotten already the terrible
famine which devastated the unhappy country
and was followed BY the scourgcs OF Asiatic cholera
and bubonic plague, Countless were the victims.
millions OF graves were opened and hled. and fu-
neral pyrcs uncounted consumed everywhere de
ceased Hindus. In the single Province OF Punjab
died within two weeks last June OF 600 persons Of
plague Now the SAD news has Just arrived from
Southern India that plague has broken out among
the elephants and wild animals OF the forest, and
already spread among tho cattle OF the farmers
and threatens the destruction of our beasts and
consequently with q famine more terrible and ex =
tensivc than any drought could cause.
Our congregation OF ST. Francis has erected two
orphanages for rescued wallis Of famine and plague;
a village for those married. q primary, q trade
and agricultural school. and hundreds OF little
homeless and sick sufferers found loving home
the true faith and a thorough education. Many Of
them, IL Is true, went to their heavenly home In
consequence Of past sunerngs and privations

to Puget Sound. but also to place south
eastern Alaska in, direct relations by
wire with our great fields Of mining
and fishing enterprises, extending for
hundreds of miles between Valdes and
st. Michael. The capital Of Alaska and
Juneau and Skagway have had no means
of quick communication with the centres
Of Alaska's greatest activity excepting
by means OF the Canadian Yukon line,
which connects at Eagle with the Ameri-
can wire to st. Michael, and with the
trans Alaskan wire to Valdes. Here
after the judgments of Alaskan courts
and the orders of Alaskan officials need
not be transmitted through a foreign
country to reach the States.
Only one disappointment has been met.
The cable that was laid between st.
Michael and Nome, the centre Of the
largest placer gold mining in Alaska,
was broken by ice, year ago last win
ter, and 1t has been decided that 1t is i'm
practicable to maintain cable in the
shallow waters Of Norton Sound between
these two towns. 1t Is not pleasant
situation for the $4,000 whites Of the
Nome district to be practically isolated
till navigation opens in June, but it is
expected that wireless telegraphy will
relieve the situation.
The mining camps Of Cook Inlet and Of
the Circle District south Of the northern
bend of the Yukon between Eagle and
Circle City are, with Nome, on the Seward
Peninsula, the chief regions still unpro-
vided with telegraphio facilities; but only
the pioneer lines have yet been built, and
there Is no doubt that the importance Of
the telegraph system will rapidly increase
as the growing number of miners enlarges
business interests.
