THE END OF IT.

Nothing in his life was more sensational than
the death Of Whitaker Wright, but his final
collapse, as sudden and complete as that OF the
vast financial bubble which he flOated, need not
have been unexpected 1t was evident to all
who recently saw him in this country that at
least his plea Of i'll health was not fraudulent
and It is not surprising that the sentence OF
seven years penal servitude to which ne had
Just listened was more than he could bear. Inc
verdict Of a pagan philosophy would be that
Nature had given him fortunate release, ana
perhaps there is great risk in adopting
that view Of the matter. There certainly was
no suggestion Of repentance III the closing scenes
Of his career nor any prospect that he would
make good use Of a few more years OF existence
whether passed in freedom or confinement
The circumstances OF Wrights death were
tragical, according to the common use of that
hard worked word, and for that reason it may
be hoped that the lesson Of his life will be more
deeply impressed on those who need 10 apply II
than il would otherwise have been. As TO the
Justice Of his sentence there can be 10 doubt
The English law in such cases is rigorous, ana
it is vigorously administered. If # were kind
TO swindlng promoters it would be cruel 10
their unwary but innocent victims and TO So
ciety at large. 1t is safe 10 assume that for
time in England men Of Wrights propensites
and talents will shrink from engaging IN opera
tons like those which, after furnishing some
respected names and heaping losses on multi
tude Of persons, brought him to GRIEF. In this
country there are not few opponents or specu-
latiye finance who should solemnly reflect that
If they were under the jurisdiction of English
courts there might be dolor0us days ahead Tor
them. 1t is a reproach to American lawmakers
that they have left it comparatively easy for
such men TO grasp at riches in utter disregard
of the misery they inhict, and, whether they
succeed or fail 10 escape their just deserts.

THE KAISERS BIRTHDAY.
Great Enthusiasm at Berlin-NdRY
ROUdI Guests.

Berlin Jan. 26.-The general rejoicing over
the recovery Of Emperor William from his re-
cent throat trouble is expressed in the unexam-
pied preparations that are being made for the
celebration of his birthday tomorrow. The En-
peror was born In 1859. In 1901 and 1902 En-
peror William passed his birthday quietly and
in 1902 he formally requested that on account
of the death of Empress Frederick the money
usually spent upon Examinations to celebrate
the day Of his birth should be given to the poor.
King Leopold of Belgium arrived here this
evening and was welcomed at the railroad sta
ton nv the Emperor and the Crown Prince with
hearty greetings. AS the royal party proceeded
10 the castle the Emperor and the King chatted
pleasantly together.
The streets are filled tonight with people to
witness the Nominations. and the crowd Is
probably more enthusiastic and greater than on
any other occasion of the present reign. The
palaces are overcrowded with visiting royalties
and numerous royal guests are quartered at the
hotels. Among those already here are the
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess OF Baden, the
Duke and Duchess OF Schleswig- HOlstein. Duke
Johann Friedrich OF Mecklenburg. Princess F'e-
dora of Schleswig-H Olstein. Prince and Princess
Henry of Prussia, the Duke and Duchess Fried
rich Ferdinand of Schleswig-H olstein, and
Prince and Princess Adolf of Schaunburg-
LaQpe.

THE INIT RTLE.

The Eastern Democratic managers who want
TO conduct this years Presidential canvass on
an 'any -old-thing-tO-win' platform are begin
ming TO clamor for a rigid enforcement in the
national convention of the unit rule" Evil
IDENTIFY the same fears which rushed the conven-
ton 10 St Louis are behind this demand for
the stringent application Of what has been In
recent years a more or less neglected party law.
II delegates chosen by Congress districts are
left TO follow their own volitons, unbound by
instructions compelling the State delegation to
cast it's vote as a unit it IS suspected that many
Eastern votes will be diverted TO candidates not
altogether in sympathy with the ''reorganizers"
and their anything -te-win-on" programme
In a Boston dispatch TO The Tribune, printed
a day or two ago, a prominent Massachusetts
Democrat friendly to ex-Secretary Olney's can
didacy was quoted as saying:
The unit rule will be adopted without any
doubt IN the 81. Louis convention This viii
not be done with the idea of freezing OUT amy
particular faction. although IL may result in
that The unit rule will be continued because
II is the established policy OF the party. To
abandon IL would not only be sad departure
from the recognized principles Of Democracy,
but Il might result in the wish Of the majority
being defeated
This Is an amusingIy disingenuous statement
Fearful Of minority rule In the national con-
vention, this Massachusetts manager is bent on
invoking the only expedient whereby a minority
can hope TO dictate a Democratic Presidential
nomination. To insure the choice Of a nominee
acceptable TO the vast majority Of the Demo
cratic voters, Democratic conventions have long
insisted on the enforcement Of the two-thirds
rule To win a nomination for President or
Vice-President candidate must receive two
thirds OF all the votes cast Whether this rule
is wise or not, # is accepted party law. Majer-
ity rule in Democratic nominating conventions
means twO-thirds majority rule; and all de-
vices which tend to nullify the two-thirds re-
ouirement are simply efforts to introduce mi
nority rule by giving less than twothirds Of the
delegates actual power TO make Presidential
nomination.
The unit rule is one OF the most convenient OF
these devices In giving bare majority Of
State delegation the right TO cast the States
full vote II robs one delegate of his rightful in
fuence. TO double the influence Of another dele
gate. Through its enforcement 30 delegates
from York can cast rs votes 35 delegates
from Pennsylvania can cast 6s votes 2s from
Illinois csn cast 81, "a from Ohio can cast "a
10 from Missouri SO, 10 from Texas SO and
IL from Massachusetts 81. One hundred and
eighty two delegates from these seven great
States can cast $50 votes. II might turn ont
in fact under the unit rule, that through a Ger.
tain combination OF interests two-thirds vote
nsd been cast and a Presidential candidate
nominated with the actual concurrence of less
than half the conventions membership
The unit rule has been and is the chief prou
on minority rule in national conventions Tbs

The chance of recovering alive any consider
abla number OF the 1S4 miners who were en-
tombed near Creswick on Monday depended
upon the promptness with which the WORK was

or by the fall Of looSened rock or ulnoerS'
Still, the majority of the deaths when might
be expected would result from the suHocaung

This would be composed chiefly or carDomc

have been reached within the first Few hours
a considerable proportion might have survived.
When a whole day had elapsed without more
than one man being brought out alive however,
the outlook naturally became almost hopeless.
The tragic fate Of one OF the rescuers and the
helpIessness Of the others who, with splendid
heroism, went down Monday afternoon or night
showed the need Of employing only experts,
and these were hard to find. Every days de-
lay now makes the situation still more dis
couraging.
Several suggestions have been made concern
ing the immediate cause Of the disaster The
iredamp might have been ignited say some,
by a miners illegal use of a match to light
his pipe. For such a proceeding there are
many precedents, unfortunately. If the lamps
used in that mine were Of the safety type, one
Of them may have been defective In that
case the fire boss" the foremans assistant,
whose duty it was TO inspect the lamps before
they taken into the NINE is in measure
responsible If it was a blast that set fire to
the gas. the fire boss and the miners are APP
parently excupated, but there remains the pres
ence Of the gas to be considered. Had large
pocket been struck only n moment before the
explosion. a local fire might have resulted at
that particular spot, from adjacent blast.
Even so, no serious consequences could have
ensued unless there had been large amount
of gas distributed through the headings. After
all It is hard to avoid n suspicion that the
foreman who inspected the mine just before
dawn failed to detect or report the existence
Of n dangerous situation
Few improvements in the management OF
coal mines in the last few years have been
more marked than that in facilities for ventila-
ton In some places where gas is abundant
it IS nevertheless regarded safe to use a naked
lamp. because Of the large volume Of fresh air
continually forced into the workings The
mine near Creswick was opened only two
years ago. and operations there ought to have
been conducted on thoroughly modern prin-
ciples State inspectors had repeatedly noticed
that the condition Of the headings demanded
extra vigilance. The fire bosses and foremen
were even more familiar with the danger II
Is to be feared that the Carelessness Of one OF
these employees contributed largely 70 the
catastrophe in question.

The japanese are reported TO be able to say,
"Weve got the money, tool" in addition to
having the men and the ships with which to
fight for their rights against the aggressions Of
Russia. That is probably true. Japan is a rich
country and since its establishment Of the gold
standard its finances have been in good con-
ditlon and steadily improving The national
debt Of Japan is only about S27GOOOOOO the
bulk of which is owed at home The ordinary
revenue Of the country is about $113,OOOOOO,
and the ordinary expenditures 500, 100000
leaving n handsome surplus. Gold has for
years been accommodating so that now the Bank
Of Japan has n gold reserve OF more than
$57 100000. and there are other available bal
ances Of $i0OO00O0 more. so that the govern
ment has within reach for instant use not far
from S1O0OOO0OO, without resorting to an issue
Of bonds or special taxes. The financial con-
dition of the country is such that some hun
dreds of millions could promptly be raised at
home. without thought of a foreign loan, while
there Is little doubt that an issue of Japanese
bonds would be eagerly subscribed for in Amer
lea and Great Britain.
Russia, on the other hand, is in poor financial
condition. She has debt OF nearly So. 200 OOO-
900, the second largest In the world besides q
railroad debt and mortgages of the Bank of
the Nobility amounting to nearly $500 600 600
more grand total Of close to So, 700 600 600
Her revenue is 1891, 100000, and her expendi-
lures 1921, 100000, showing a large deficit She
has, It is true. according to report, a consid-
cradle reserve of cash upon which to draw
perhaps as much as S750OO0OOO Yet it is
stated on good authority that she has for some
time been earnestly but vainly negotiating for
n large loan IN France or Germany Beyond
doubt she would find 1t difficult to place
loan Of considerable size in any European
money market and # is not at all sure that
her application would be greeted with enthusi-
asm in America. OF course. it is a truism that
while gold and silver are the "sinews of war;
no nation ever was restrained by an empty
treasury from engaging in war which II re-
garded as TO It's advantage. Still financial CON-
