The Old Order Changes,

From the Lancet.
Pedestrians in the streets Of London are
already realizing that gradual and re-
markble change in the method OF vehicular
locomotion Is taking place. The change
has been marked by the advent of the

So acute have labor conditions become
in England, through the problem of the
that bill has been drafted
by the government and presented to par
lament, known as the unemployed
workmen" bill. The MEASURE provides
for public relief by employment, COM
pulsorily in London, optionally in the
rest of the country. 1t is based on the
principle that an applicant honestly de-
sirous of obtaining work, but tempe
rarily unable to do so from exceptional
causes over which he has no control, ;"
should have a right to receive employ
ment relief. The expenses are to be met
by special tax, supplemented by con-
tributions. The unemployed" taxes
cannot be used to provide temporary
work except on farm colonies, thus
drawing surplus labor away from con-
gested cities and back to the land. This
new authority will also keep labor regis
tries, assist applicants by emigration and
removal and share the cost of employ
ment by other bodies. On the other
hand, as safeguards, wages are to be less
than the normal earnings of the unskilled
laborer, and no one shall be assisted
more than two years in succession.

The Norwegian storthing, or parlia-
ment, has declared Norway to be indie
pendent from Sweden. The difference
between the two countries is radical and
arises from a conflict of commercial
interests. Sweden, which possesses ex-
tensive manufactures, upholds the policy
of protection. Norway, which depends
mainly upon its farms and its fisheries, is
a free trade nation. Hence, with view
to a normal regulation of commerce,
Norway has for years been demanding a
separate consular service, and it is the
steady refusal of this demand by the
Swedish government which has led to the
final declaration of enforcement When
the Norwegian storthing finally voted to
have separate consular service under a
Norwegian minister of state, King Oscar
vetoed the law. Norway almost imme-
diately declared its independence 1t is
generally agreed that there will be no
war to restore the union. Sweden will
let the "erriug sister," as she may con-
slider her, ''go in peace" When the
congress of Vienna automatically handed
over Norway to the King of Sweden
ninety-one years ago, the people rebelled,
but had to submit. There will be no
resort to force now.

u. S. Senator Newlands, of Nevada, in
recent speech pointed out the anxiety
of the republican congress to settle with
despatch questions concerning certain of
our numerous and rapidly increasing
possessions" while giving no concern
to affairs at home. The Senator says ::
''Whilst we have been conquering other
countries, monopoly has conquered our
own. We have time to settle the rail-
road question in the Philippines; we
have not the time to adjust the railroad
question in the United States. We have
the time to give moderate tariff to the
Philippines; we have no time to correct
an excessive tariff in the United States.
We can expend vast sums in Cuba, in the
Philippines, in Panama, in colonial ex-
ploitation and in naval expansion, but
we have no money for the internal devel-
opment of the republic. Our harbors
and our waterways are neglected. Our
reform legislation rests in committees,
and as result either of favoritism or of
neglect in legislation, the greatest pluto
cracy in the history of the world has
been created, whilst we have kept our
eyes strained towards the horizon of i'm
perial and international grandeur"

A process has been evolved whereby
the waste products of the cornfelds of the
western corn producing States may be
manufactured into fine quality of paper,
and a company formed in Chicago for
the purpose. The development of this
industry will mean much to the middle
west, where it is estimated $4,000, 900 Of
corn-stalks which can be utilized, are
annually allowed to rot in the fields. 1t
is claimed an excellent quality of paper
can be produced from common corn
stalks at cost of $24 to $25 per ton,
while the cost of manufacturing the same
grade of paper from wood pulp or rags is
between $50 and $40 per ton.

Organized Labor and tuberculosis.

At least one important phase of the.
great fight being waged against consum-
ption in Maryland, is shown in the APP
pearance of the following editorial in the
current number of the Labor Leader:
1.-THE part which organized labor is to
play in crushing out the dread white
DEATH as consumption is now known, is
but another instance of the good which
ades-uuionism does in a community,
and the vast benefits its existence brings
to all mankind. The Baltimore Fedora
ton of Labor has appointed a special
committee to aid in stamping out the
disease, and more noble task or a more
humane undertaking was never set before
labor organization. The committee
will act in conjunction with the Maryland
Association for the Prevention and Relief
of tuberculosis, and will doubtless do
much good and efficient work in this line.
Principally along this line will come the
sweatshops, i'll ventilated factories and
workshops where disease germs are al
ways lurking in the fevered atmosphere
and where there is splendid opportunity
for them to fasten themselves on their
luckless victims. Light and air are the
vital necessities of health and existence,
and when they are denied in any guam
tity. the health of those subjected to such
denial suffers. There are plenty of bee
hives of industry about this city which are
hotbeds of consumption, and the local
committee ofthe Federation of Labor can
do no better service than ferreting them
out and reporting them to the association,
to be dealt with as experience teaches is
right. There are few of them in which
the sanitary conditions could be i'm
proved, and the work of humane endeav-
or to better the conditions of the wretches
who have to work in them should begin
at once"

The Oyster Campaign.

F. R. Kent has been contributing a
series of articles to the Baltimore Sun on
the oyster campaign in Talbot and Queen
Anne's counties, and declares that the in
dications are that no matter which party
carries the election in the fall, the dele
cation sent to Annapolis from Talbot
county will be pledged to oppose the
Hamau Oyster.Culture bill.
Talbot county has sent in the past, and
will probably send in the future, men to
the Legislature who are at heart in favor
of the Haman bill and who firmly believe
in the principles laid down in it, yet who
at Annapolis have been compelled to
fight, and fight with bitterness, the pas
sage Of the measure because of the danger
of political oblivion following any exhi-
bition of luke warmness upon their part.
1t is recognized throughout Talbot
county, as in Queen Anne's, that the in
dustry is in bad way, and year by year
the difficulty of making living in the
business increases. Among the agricul-
tural classes it is said there is belief
that bill drawn along the lines of the
Haman bill would not only tend to re-
habilitate the industry, but would benefit
the county as whole, but the belief is
not hearty one. The plan of bill is not
generally understood and the old habit
of letting oystermau decide these ques-
tons for themselves is so firmly rooted
that those who have studied the situation
say that there is little interest taken in
the subject by the farmers.
In spite of the overwhelming antago-
nism among the oystermen to the Haman
bill, the fact that many of them realize
that the time has come when the demand
in the rest of the State is SO insistent that
a bill similar to the Haman bill can no
longer be STAYED off and that a measure
along these lines will be passed by the
next General Assembly, is instanced by
the unusual number of oystermen who
have within the past year taken up land
under the provisions of the Five-Acre law.
Mr.. B. Howard Haman has carried the
war into the enemy's own country, last
week addressing an audience in one of
the oyster towns Of Queen Anne's county,
explaining the provisions of his bill which
provides for the leasing of the barren hot
toms of the Chesapeake, an annual rem
tai being paid to the State, the proceeds
to be devoted to good road fund.

ALASKA FORUM

V covery of gold was deemed by Judge Wickersham as bearing in any way on a valid location.
 When the Fairbanks district was dis covered, and the rush began, many miners, knowing that the United States mining laws required discovery prior to every valid location, entered upon claims the stakers of which had never touched. Several of these disputes were amicably submitted to go-be- tweens who assured the disputants of the alleged determination of the court to ignore the discovery question and hold with the first stalker. The best proof to these miners that such a de- cision would be made was the notorious fact that Judge Wickersham himself was stalking and holding claims in that manner. This they knew was not the law; but it was the law of Wickersham and appeals were expensive. These claims were therefore abandoned, and the entire district being blanketed in a like manner, many left the country.
 This mode of procedure caused many to sleep on their rights, as they accept ed the law of Wickersham for the law of the land. When isolated claims on the various creeks began to pour out a wealth of golden richness, and the pro- perty of the clique handled to meet the new condition about to be sprung, the time to gather in the harvest was deem ed at hand. This commenced by com pany, one of whom was a high official of Wickersham' court, relocating a claim adjoining one of known richness. This case resulted in decision that a discovery was essential to each and every valid placer location. This was the United States mining law figuring for the first time in , Wickersham de- cision. But the law could not long re- tain it's purity in that atmosphere. De- cisions followed thick and fast, one would contradict one of the day pre- vious, and tomorrow's would diametric- ally oppose the other two, until the eliminating decision-th that gold must be found in paying quantities to constitute a valid location.
 The whole trend of Judge Wicker sham's decisions on these points go to show that he is either grossly incom- potent, or conniving at unnecessary and expensive litigation. In either case he
