cOBE4's NEW STATUS,

A revolution has been effected in Corea, so far
as the foreign relations of that country are con-
cerned and also, in large measure, in domestic
matters The net result of last weeks negotia-
tions is that the Hermit Empire passes under
japanese protection and control. The native
Emperor will remain the head-0r flgurehead-
of the state but the real authority will be exer-
cised by japanese administrator very much
we suppose as Lord Cromer SO wisely and eff
ciently rules Egypt under the nominal SOW
ereignty of the Khediye. There will be also a
japanese administrator at each treaty port of
Corea. all Corean diplomacy viii be conducted
from Toxic instead of from Seoul, no arrange
ments will be hereafter made with any power
without Japanese assent and, as seems probable,
Corean interests abroad will be attended to by
japanese ambassadors, ministers and consuls.
Corea is practically placed under such relations
to Japan as Bekhara sustains to Russia and
Afghanistan to Great Britain.
This will, OF course, surprise nobody 1t is an
end that has been foreseen since the beginning
of the late war. Had Russia won in that war

tectorate On the whole, it is for the best Corea

1t was at the mercy of China until Japan drove

hands when Japan again interviewed. 1t is true
Japan might protect its independence and leave
it entirely independent. That would, however,
be simply to incur more trouble in future. Chi
nese Russian and other foreign influences would
become potent at Seoul. intrigues for foreign
control would follow, and Japan would have to
fight her battles all over again or else let Corea
fall into alien and hostile hands Neither of
those things would be profitable 10 her. She will
avoid them by taking Curea for her own. More

Mr. Hearst however has shown what COM

has also given some measure of what cam

aid of an established organization, can bring
out such a vote as that cast for Mr.. Hearst
there would seem to be little excuse for spend
ing more than that in this city for any cam
paign. The peculiar situation and the popular
readiness to break away from party lines in
support of novel ideas may be fair offset to
the advantage of efficient organization. But 1t
is no more than that. The organization should,
with $4,000 or less, always be able to conduct
meetings, circulate literature, put up posters,
employ all needed watchers and meet every
legitimate expense. Anything in excess of that

KEEPING WATER PURE.

The Mayors new water commission has acted
with promptness in devising ways and means for
the increase of the local supply, and it is as
sumed that under the approval of the state COM
mission-which is to act upon the matter next
week-its plans will soon be put into effect
But there are other phases of the general water
question which it would be gratifying to see
looked after at the same time with equal energy
and discretion. Especially is it desirable to
have the streams of the state TO the widest pos
sible extent, redeemed from pollution and to end
the beastly practice Of Transforming water
courses into open sewers,
This evil is an ancient one but in all time it
has been regarded by thoughtful and benevolent
men as gross iniquity. Ardai Viraf, in his
famous vision of hell "saw a man whom demons
forced with blows to swallow blood, corrupted
matter and human flesh concerning whom the
blessed Serosch said: He was in the habit of
casting corrupted matter into the water" Prob
ably we are not inclined to go quite SO far did
the Zoroastrian seer In our condemnation OF
those who polute streams yet when an epidemic
of typhoid desolates some community there
arises feeling that such judgment is after all,
not much too harsh.
If only streams were kept free from artificial
pollution the problem of water supplies for our
cities and towns would be vastly sfmplifed. Nor
would it be a hardship to effect and preserve
Sucl freedom, LOT Ill a great pIopOIItOh vi cases
the value Of the communicating matter, If prop
erly disposed Of would be much more than the
cost of keeping it out of the streams. 1t is this
monstrous wastefulness of the present practice
that condemns it in cases where the question OF
preserving the water pure for potable uses is
not involved. 1t is not only that the water is de-
fled but that the defling matter is wasted.
From all points of view it would be practically
profitable TO keep the sewage out of the streams
from those of industry and economy as well as
from those of sanitation and aesthetics.

NORWAY'S RENASCENCE.

1t would be difficult to conceive more au-
spicious circumstances than those in which Nor
way will resume her ancient rank among the IN
dependent Kingdoms of the world. She parts
from Sweden without blow and on the friend
liest of terms She chooses by an overwhelming
vote Of her people and the unanimous vote Of
her Parliament a prince descended from her own
ancient line to be her king. He will be vel
coined to his throne not only by his people, but
also by the Swedish crown and by the crowns of
Great Britain and Germany. Taking with him
British princess as his Queen, and greeted by
the Swedish Crown Prince and by the brother
of the German Emperor, King Haakon VII Will
be entitled to a measure of envy as favorlte OF
political and dynastic fortune.
In sentimental and historic sense the event
will mark a new birth of Norway or n revival OF
some Of her most ancient and most heroic mem
ories. In the name of Haakon, which the King
will assume and in that of Olaf, which Will ne
bestowed upon his heir apparent, is enshrined
the history of Norway The former suggests at
first sound-though dbsit omen!-the earl who
perished in the grim tragedy of Orkadale and
Nidarholm, in IongfellOw's matchiess saga. and
the latter, of course, the stormy hero OF that
lyric tale. But there were other Haakons of
happier fate and there were other Olafs, too.
comparable with Astrid's son in mighty qualities.
Indeed, there are few great themes in old Morse
history and romance with winch one OF DOth Vi
those names are not intertwined. Practical and
bltsinessike as the Norwegians are, their nat
ures are also highly imaginative and poetic. and
the adoption of these names by their King and
prince will arouse in them an enthusiasm that
might not be obtainable in any other way.
But there are other considerations. Norway
has for many year been bound to a partner of
her own race, but of far different spirit. Under
the one yoke have been democracy and aristoc-
racy, free trade and protection and other equally
antagonistfc principles 1t has not been good for
either, but it has been the worse for Norway,
since she was the lesser of the i'll matched pair
and was far more subjected to Swedish intiu-
ences than was Sweden to Norwegian. Now. for
the first time, Norway will have an opportunity
to pursue the paths of her own choosing and to
work out her individual destiny. In the
lnomentous incidents of this year, at once so
strenuous and so delicate, she has shown a
superb resolution and also a fine degree of mod
GRAFTON and self-restraint, which give most ia
vorable augury of the manner in which she will
conduct herself now that she has gained her de-
sire There is not, we take it. nation in the
world that will not wish the new kingdom I'M

come enlightened and be opened to the world
In Corea itself there is no ability to effect SUCH
a change, wherefore Japan purposes to go IN ana
effect it herself.
So far as the relations of COrea with the rest
of the world are concerned. the change VIII be an
agreeable one. Existing treaty relations VIII not
be affected save through the normal course OF
negotiations. All existing rights OF Americans
and others in Corea will be even better safe
guarded under Japanese than they would be
under continued COrean administration, ana
there is little doubt that new and more advan-
tageous relations will be more easily established
under Japanese than under Corean rule. We
have only to contrast existing relations with
Corea with those with Japan to be convinced OF
that The change means that our existing rights
in Corea will be maintained. and that there Will
be added to them the further rights and privi-
leges which we enjoy in Japan. There need be
no fear of any closing of the open door. That is
not Jnpan's policy. On the contrary, the door is
likely to be opened all the wider. Before the
war Japan proposed TO Russia, and Russia re
fused "a mutual engagement to main
tain the principle of equal opportunity Tor the
commerce and industry of all nations in Corea
That is the principle, we assume, which Japan
will now establish and maintain.

RAILROAD RATES AND LABOR UNIONS.

The railroad managers of the country ought
to be extremely thankful to the brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers for coming to their sup
mort in the enuncation of a doctrine for which
the railroads have long contended and more fire.
ouentIv against their employees than anybody
else jeremiah Harris, the chairman of the
legislative board of the organization in New
York thus states the position of the brother
hood:
The members OF the Brotherhood of LocoIno-
five Engineers to q man are opposed to any
legislation that will curtail the powers of their
en1plovers in respect TO their earning capacity
or diminish the freedom of their control over
their property; therefore. the brotherhood op-
noses the Esch- Townsend law and VIII oppose
anv and every law that will give the control
of railway rates into the hands of the govern
ment or any body other than the railroad own
ers and managers
The railroad presidents will doubtless welcome
ms aid against government control of rates, but
fbev will by no means forget its usefulness in
o+ber directions Control over their prop
ertv' is something which they are quite as
anxious TO preserve from incursions by labor
unions as by the government; and they may
hpfcpfortb be as firm to keep their earning cs-
nscity unimpaired by high wages as by low rates.
We can imagine the railroad presidents softly
saving. "Oh! Harris we thank thee for these
words
The Idissez faire theory with respect to COM
mon carriers is about the last thing that labor
unionist might be expected to avow. 1t is the
negation OF that compelling force of public duty
which is one of the chief allies OF worklnen in
railroad strike When engaged in industrial
labor leaders are always loudly insistent
upon the common carriers duty TO serve the pub
lie 1t cannot be allowed TO knock off work
when it is unable 10 secure employees 10 man
its trains It must pay the price and meet the
conditions demanded, however unreasonable.

sarbeJr t,reperty" is pictured as public property
which il holds in trust. At such times we near
much about stolen franchises and watered stocks
nsed TO conceal profits and rob employees and the
pllblic The demand for government ownership,
not merely of the railroads. but of the coal mines,
is strong among the labor unionsts when 1T ap-
pears that through politics they can convert
their labor into placeholding. with the privilege
thereto attached of doing little work for large
nav When they want to run the railroads, say
who may be employed and even who may give
orders, the assumption that the railroads are GO
ing to keep control over their property is pluto
cratic insolence But when the whole public
thinks of taking hand to see that the railroads
do not practise extortion, the labor unions are
suddenly on the other side The eXtortion seems
to be all right if it is practised merely on the
public and II the unions can share the benefit.
The attitude which some of the labor unions
take toward measures for the protection OF the
general public with regard to rates is curious
By some it might be attributed to corrupt inf1u-
ence on the part Of the railroads, for such har-
mony between employer and employe is not often
seen The notorious combination for plunder of
the public by employers and employees in the
building trades suggests this explanation. We
should rather, however attribute 1t to selfish
narrowness which it is easier to understand than
to commend. The spirit which prompts enmity
to the National Guard because it may defend
general as against class interests and is often
supremely Indifferent to the public inconvenience
and suffering caused by strikes over really trl-
fling matters would amply explain this readiness
to forget the interests of the whole people in the
matter of railroad control to serve the lmmedl-
ate purposes of labor unions.
