obtained for this task would undouJT-
eddy be that OF Chinese coolies: but
aside from tho fact that any such
move would be so violently opposed
by the antj-Chiuesc element that II
would come 20 nothing. it seems un-
necessary 10 import Chinese for such
a job when there is labor which could
we'll be utilized and whose employ
meut would help to straighten ont
some Of our own unsolved problems.
There is a class Of negroes in the
Southern States whose presence con-
stituyes something Of a menace to the
country It is an unfortunate fact
that it is easier for negro women
than Tor negro men 10 get work in
most Southern cities and towns. oW-
ing 10 the steady demand TO- dnmes-
tic servants. and the fluctuating de
mand for work which unsEilled labor
crs among men can do.
To offer inducements which should
take these unshiIed laborers out Of
the Southern States and put them in
Panama. where they would be under
a certain amount of discipline, and
have Il chance to make something Of
themselves in new conditions if they
chose, might be a very good thing.
It would be an experiment some
thing like that of the British govern
ment when it sent its criminals to
Australia, and offered the poor OF the
overcrowded kingdom a chance to
make homes fer themselves in the
bush. Managed in the right way,
this experiment should be as great a
success as that has proved.

Street Car Riots.

The street car riots in New York
have assumed aspects anything but
creditable to the state of civilization
in that town. On the one hand, we
have passengers engaging in free
fights, in which they usually get the
worst of it. rather than pay a fare
which the officials insist on collect
ing; on the other, we have
'bOuncers" maltreating men, women.
and children, and declaring in so
many words that the company does
not give a malediction for the de-
cision Of the courts, but will run its
road TO suit itself.
The question is really somewhat
pulling, and takes its place as one Of
the perplexing problems which come
up in the city Of the present. On one
side we have people who need trans
portation service; on the other, men
who are in control of the service. The
people have TO take what the com
pany gives, or 90 without, and on the
lines which run between their homes
and their places Of business they can
not very we'll go without. Of course,
they could boycott electric railways
and excursion boats which run TO
pleasure resorts, but II would be next
TO impossible to get any considerable
number of the people TO act together.
and any concerted attempt would
probably end in the abandonment Of
such lines TO the rougher element,
who do not mind crowding and squab-
bling and indecent conditions.
But there is no doubt whatever
that the company has acted in an IN
justifable and unwise manner. II all
comes of the American insistence on
having things done in a hurry. The
car companies preferred pummelling
and jostling refractory passengers to
taking the time to get them off peace
ably. Their case is weakened by the
fact that on one road the extra fare
charged is charged only On Sundays
and holidays, which looks like a cool
attempt at grab.
II IS all very discreditable and dis
graceful IN a city of size and respect
ability. If New York has really the
intelligence which she asserts herself
10 have, she will think out some way
to transport people peaceably to and
from their business and their recrea-
ton, and keep order on the cars, 50
that a decent citizen can travel
around the city for a reasonable price
without being mauled. sat on, or in
suited by street car men or fellow
passengers.

The Norge Inspection.

Survivors Of the Norge catastrophe
report that when passengers seized
the life preseryers on board the
doomed vessel and attempted TO fas-
ten them to their persons, the straps
parted, leaving the fTenzied men,
women, and children with pieces OF
useless cork in their hands.
This is exactly what happened on
board the steamer General SIocum in
New York harbor, and the extraordi-
nary fact has been brought to light
that the sane United States inspector
who passed the SIOcUm and certified
that her equipment was fit for ser
vice, also passed the Norge and her
equipment. His unfitness for his po-
sitiOn would appear to have been am
ply demonstrated by the loss Of near
ly I 800 lives.
But in cOndemning the man, the
system which made it possible for
such a man to be in a position where
he could jeOpardize so many lives
must not be forgotten. At the corO-
ner's inquest this inspector testified
that the only instructions in regard
to inspecting vessels which he had re-
ceived consisted in going around with
other inspectors for a few weeks be-
fore becoming an inspector on his
own account. He declared that in in
speeding the General Slocum he had
done Just as he had seen these other
inspectors do; and doubtless he would
answer that his work in inspecting
the Norge had been equally thorough.
It is quite possible that the present
laws governing steamboat inspection
are not all they should be, and those
United States Congressman who
killed in committee Secretary Cortel-
you's bin for lettering the laws are
permitted to take what comfort they
can from the spectacle of death that
partially at least las resulted from
their devotion to pri ate interests at
the expense Of the public.
But it is also probable that such
laws as there are have been uegli-
gently enforced by mel lily equipped
for their responsibilities as inspec-
tors. II is the duty of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor to deal
quickly and adequately with that
phase Of the situation and TO make
the present laws as effective as pos
sible until better laws are passed.

WEDNESDAY. JULY c. 1904.
Hills Promised Victory.

When late last night a spokesman
for Murphy, of Tammany Hall, said
that the New York Democratic ma
chine would roll up the customary
Democratic majority for Parker, but
that the judge would not carry the
State, it was definitely indicated that
the backbone of the opposition to
David B. Hills pet was broken, and
that unless the unforeseen happened
the nomination of the Silent Man of
EsOpUs as the Democratic candidate
for President was practically assured.
The address of John Sharp VIII
liams, temporary chairman Of the
convention, is an adroit document,
lacking the scholarly polish of Mr.
Roots speech in a similar capacity
before the Republican convention, but
defining the lines on which it is pro-
posed to conduct the campaign rather
more accurately than did Mr.. Roots
exemplary statement of Republican
omnipOtence.
II is evident that in Mr.. Williams
opinion the vital issue before the peo-
pie will not be tariff, nor money, nor
even trusts, but Theodore Roosevelt:
and it is equally evident that the Re
publican party viii eagerly accept the
challenge TO battle on that issue.
The somewhat lackadaisical Republi-
can platform is susceptible of misun-
derstandings and various interpreta-
tons, but Theodore Roosevelt is q
fact TO be accepted or rejected accord
ing to personal preferences.
Like ali positive men, President
Roosevelt creates two positive fac
tons, one which likes him very
much, indeed. and one which dislikes
him with equal cordially. With him
as a candidate, there will be very few
who will accept principles of the
party in spite of its candidate. while
there are likely to be a great many
who viii accept the candidate in spite
of the principles of mis- party.
The choice by the Democrats of
Theodore Roosevelt as its campaign
material is natural if indeed it is not
inevitable. Whether Theodore Roose-
welt is the strongest issue upon which
the Democratic party can make a
winning fight is another question,
and one which cannot be answered
with any far-reaching satisfaction

highest artistic effect. he is entirely
wrong if he means that a woman
cannot interpret a male character on
the platform, or that man cannot
read a female character with thor
Oughly artistic understanding.
One has only to revert to the mar
velOusly artistic readings of all the
principal Shakespearean characters,
male and female. by Miss Fanny

ness Of his generalization concerning
the limitations of the readers art.
The Washington times., 1904-07-06
Women as Men.

The National Association Of Elocu-
tiOnists became much exercised at its
convention as TO whether a woman
could interpret a man with satisfac-
tory artistic effect The discussion
was started by a woman who recited
the farewell Of a soldier TO his sweet
heart and was criticised by the presi-
dent, a man, who laid down the ipse
dicIum that a male part could not
properly be interpreted by a woman
nor a female part by a man.
This discussion has entirely to do
with the platform and not with the
stage, and the fact that il was Dur
sued seriously goes to show how pro-
foundly ignorant the National Asso-
citation of ElOcutiOnists is regarding
the elemental principles Of elocution.
In the theater, except in a few freak
performances, such as Sarah Bern
hardt's playing Of Hamlet and Maude
Adams exhibition in "L'Aiglon. i"
there is no pretense Of seriousness in
q change Of sex in character imper-
sonations.
The Shakespearean women get into
tights as quickly as they can because
the parts were originally written to
be played by boys, who would be
more comfortable in doublet and hose
than in skirts; but in Shakespeare
the women are in the eyes Of the au-
dience always women masquerading
as men, and not women who are 10 be
taken seriously for men. Indeed. the
only occasions on the stage when
women seriously play men are in
operas and burlesques, and this Is In
accordance with a theatrical conven-
ton, which is entirely outside Of art.
The conditions on the platform.
however, are entirely different. I'm
personation belongs exclusively to
the theater. Interpretation is the
sole business Of the platform. The
elOcutiOnist-vile word al best-who
attempts to unite impeTsonation with
elocutiOn is as rankly inarustic as
the painter who would be so foolish
as 10 try 10 make a picture according
to principles that govern the sculptor
IN his work.
Consequently, while the president
OF the National Association of Elocu-
tionists may be correct in his conten-
ton if he means that a woman can
