AN INSPIRING EXAMPLE.

By the slow removal OF dead bodies from the
Harwick mine the public is still forced to con-
template the tragedy enacted there early In
the week. There is one phase OF the unfortu-
nate business though, on which the mind can
dwell with pleasure and profit. Even yet. per-
haps, enough attention has not been directed
thereto. In the beautiful heroism Of those who
sought to rescue the imprisoned miners there
is inspiration for the dullest soul. No one
knew better than Mccain, Taylor Lyse and
their associates the risks they ran. They were
only too familiar with the consequences of
past explosions. "Afterdamp" unquestonably
meant more to them than to mosa people, but
they dreaded its effects upon others rather
than upon themselves. The one thought which
occupied their minds was the desolation with
which nearly two hundred homes were threat
ened. In an attempt to reduce this TO the
lowest possible minimum they were willing to
imperil, and even sacrifice, their lives. The
world cannot honor such spirit too much.
If il had been practicable TO witness what
happened inside the mine Immediately after
the explosion, IL IS possible that one might
have been privileged to look upon equally noble
II abN1lutely futile, efforts. Though II is an
established fact that about one-half of the
colliery disasters on record are the result of
the carelessness Of the miners. IL is also true
that this weakness is Characteristic OF only
few. not OF the many. II is known that con-
siderable proportion OF the men employed in
coal mines, especially OF those OF American
birth. show much consideration for their fell
lows and assistants. Roberts. In bis book on
the anthracite industry. furnishes numerous
Illustrations OF that trait Time and time
again miners who have themselves been hurt
VIII pause in their own fight to helm Others
who have been paralyzed by fear. How large

JAP AND RUSS,

Comparisons. or contrasts. between Japan
and Russia are striking, In more than one re-
spect. Thus Japan has about 100000 people
and Russia perhaps 130000OO0. Again, Japan's
land area is scarcely 10000 square miles
while Russia's is nearly 100000. So Russia
has nearly three times as many people and
more than fifty times as much land as Japan
Wherefore. we might think. Russia might
well afford TO be a little less land hungry at
Japan's expense)
On the other hand, Japan, with her so much
smaller population. has more pupils In her
schools than Russia. According to the latest
available statistics. japan has 4.3O2. G23 chill
dren In elementary schools, and Russia only
4.l93.594 That is to say, ninety-one in every
thousand japanese and only thirty-two in
every thousand Russians are in elementary
schools. The dsproportion OF numbers in Sec
ondary schools and universities is equally
marked, IN favor OF Japan
Again. Japan has 4.So2 postofices or one to
every 300 people, while Russia has only 6O29
or one to every Fl 500 people. Japan has. under
sail and steam, commercial marine Of 734.413
tons, while Russia has only $685. tons
Japan's purchases from the United States
amount to about So, 0O0OO a year. and Rms
sia's to only S17.O000O0
or course. ii Is argued that Russia IS stiu In
an elementary stage of development. But
Russia has been in full and direct intercourse
with the civilized world since the time OF Peter
the Great, two hundred years ago. while Japan
has been In similar state scarcely fifty wears
That Is to say, Japan has made three times
the progress Russia has, and in one-fourth the
ume. In such circumstances, It is not nj all
strange that the admiration and sympathy of
the world are given to Japan In a great
measure

BRIDGE STAGES.

An enterprising person with some scrawny
nags on their way 10 the boneyard has attempt
ed 10 start omnibus line across the Will
iamsburg Bridge He did not secure liberal
patronage because possible patrons were de-
TERED by the humane fear Of adding TO the
burden Of his steeds, and after few trips the
police put stop 10 his activities owing TO his
lack Of a license Thus this attempt to accom-
modate the public came to n timely end. II
failed because it was founded on no proper
preparation to meet the reasonable demands
OF the situation. There is, however. no good
reason why the Williamsburg Bridge should
not be made Immediately useful by decently
equipped stage line. There are plenty Of good
horses in the city. fully able to drag an ON
nibus over the bridge at good speed. with ease
for them themselves and with comfort for their
passengers. Why should the work be left to
somebody with only scarecrows for motive
power7
1t is not to be supposed fog an instant that
the authorities would refuse permission for
the running OF properly equipped stages over
the bridge II a license were sought from them
on reasonable terms by trustworthy pers ms
Some Of the automobile companies which are
trying to pOpularize heavy vehicles like trucks
and stages might find II profitable TO demon
strate the capabilities OF their inventions By
running them on the bridge II there were
room enough after the cars were running. It
might not be a bad thing to have such line
permanently, perhaps allowing It's managers to
charge 10 cents fare for extra accommoda-
tons. That would enable women compelled 10
cross the bridge at the rush hour to escape I'M
pleasant crowding. Temporarily. at any rate
line OF automobiles would be useful, and
ought to be profitable. particularly as the We
hicles could probably be used for other pur-
poses afterward

INSTRUCTIONS TO SENATORS.

The Senate's vote on the Panama Canal
treaty will solve a mystery which mas oeeh
made much Of In recent Washington dispatches
Gossip AT the capital has concerned itself Win
the probable action OF those Southern Senators
whose States have evinced positive and gen.
eral desire 20 have the pending treaty ratlhed
and work begun as soon as possible on water
way across the isthmus. Two Southern States
Louisiana and Mississippi-have expressed
fl,roreh their legislatures their hearty approval
Of The canal convention. The Louisiana Legis-
lature, by a unanimous vote in each branch,
instructed Senators McEnery and Foster to
support the treaty. The Mississippi Legislature
by large matorities in each house, passed
resolution requesting" Senators Money and
AicLaurin TO vote for ratification. In other
States. whose legislatures are not in session,
popular pressure in behalf of ratification has
been brought through boards OF trade and other
commercial bodies Texas is represented by
two Senators who have declared in response TO
appeals from non-political organizations that
they VIII follow their own Ideas and defeat
ratification, If they can, no matter what their
constituents think or wish. The Mississippi
and Louisiana Senators have not publicly COM
mitted themselves. But talk is heard TO the
effect that Messrs. Money and McLaurin may
finally decide 20 ignore the Mississippi Legis-
lature's request"
How far instructions TO United States Sen
aters should be honored is, Of course, a prob
lem quite Incapable OF settlement. Our "un-
written constitution" furnishes no hard-and-
fast rule. Precedents conflict and Senator ~
left by custom 10 obey or ignore the wishes Of
his State Legislature as his own sense OF ex-
pediency or obligation may dictate. The South
ern strfctconstructiOn. States rights school
which considered each Senator the ambassador
OF sovereign power. adopted the rigid view
Of his ambassadorial obligation. John Tyler,
d logical exponent of that doctrine resigned his
seat when the Virginia Legislature Instructed
MIN 10 vote 10 expunge the famous resolution
OF censure directed at President jackson. But
Few men In public life have gone TO that ex-
IRENE. Many Senators have ncce.ted fnsfruc
lions and executed them Others. among them
sumner and Lamar. have openly defied dcta-
lion Of this sort
no one VIII now contend that Senator
should be bound by the wishes of n uoliticauv
nosule legislature. Senator William, rspasav
IN ieSs, properly denied the right of .be Kan.
