Some of the able men of the south, who have come
down to MS IRON ante-bellum days, with all the old
ideas of states rights, are opposing the federal control
of corporations, claiming they should be controlled in the
states where they have been Incorporated. The futility
of state action has been fully evidenced, in railroads
especially.
The business before them is never ending. What
little has been done is only of local effect. For all Mis-
souri, knows, when il equalizes a rate, the railroad may
be getting even in Illinois or in Kansas or wherever it
may have territory, giving some other state something
TO find out and resent. A merry game of blind mans
bum One state may correct an abuse from which the
forty-three others may suffer indefinitely because of the
arts and methods of the legal department of the rail-
roads.
An ideal condition could only be reached by stimuli
taneOus decisive action by ~forty-four states against the
scores of railroad corporations and their combinations.
To suggest the idea exposes its impracticabilly. The
thought brings on headache-the fallacy of il, the futiity
of it. The power is not there. 1t seems that the pres
ident is not only right, but profoundly SO, IN demanding
for the federal government ample power to do swiftly
and completely what the country wants done. make the
humblest shipper stand upon equal ground with the
Standard Oil company and other big shippers who have
outraged the integrity of trade in enjoying secret con-
eessions at the hands OF the railroads.
The Phoenix, Arizona, Enterprise is authority for
the information that J. c. Adams, chairman of the anti
joint statehood league, states that during the past two
weeks not less than 10000 letters have been sent out to
eastern people asking them to In turn write to mem
bers of congress, asking them to work against jointure
OF New Mexico and Arizona within the next few days,
TO copy from the New Mexican, The citizen need only
say, as that paper said of similar documents sent from
this territory in favor of jointure; The fact that these
were written by The same man and We're paid for out Of
the slush fund Of the league Is not alluded TO.
There is such a thing as being discreetly silent at
times"

the Presidents generalization that there
Is q 'loosening Of the marital tie among
the old native American families II Is
true that there was slight increase in
the percentage of divorces in 1900 over
1890, but, considering the many causes
and facilities for divorces afforded in
nearly all our States, there is rather
reason for proclaiming the binding
strength OF the marital tie OF the
divorces obtained. the great majority
are by wives and for other causes than
marital infdelity. Generally, it may be
said there is no country Of Europe where
the first moral obligation of marriage is
80 faithfully regarded as in America, az
there ID also none where the romantic
sentiment 30 universally governs en-
trance into the estate OF matrimony as
here. Mercenary motives and other
motives of expediency influence only
SO insignificant a number Of individuals
that the quantity is negligible
Two days before the President made
his remarks at the White House TO the
delegation Of agtators against divorce
the same subject was discussed by women
in their Society for Political Study
in Sew York. The nearly unanimous
sentiment expressed by these women
was emphatcally in favor of divorce
THE increasing frequency Of divorce,
said one of the speakers, does not prove
that mankind is growing worse, but that
it il growing better Il believe in di-
vorce, said another; divorce is to many
women just what Canada used to be
to the negro; il is freedom from bond
age. Unquestionably, the so-called
free divorce laws" Of nearly all the
States we're enacted for the benefit OF
wives especially. These feminine po-
litical students also uttered views re-
garding race suicide directly con-
trary to those Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
The President, however suggested
no remedy for the awful problem he
talked about. He said nothing about n
national divorce law, which is the aim
of many Of the agitators against di
vorce, If not all Of them. 1t was pru
dent omission. If Congress should obtain
through a constitutional amendment
power to legislate on the subject for the
whole Union, obviously the legislation
would be even more unsatisfactory to
these agitators than are the State laws
now. They would get the uniform law
which they desire. but it would be a
free divorce law, for all the States
from which the Members of Congress
come allow divorce for various causes
with the exception of South Carolina and

lively small pay given to teachers in the

teaching was important, they would
give the teachers better wages.
The Hon JOHN LIND Of Minnesota
used the comparative method. The
committee made point Of order against

teachers receiving $500 year; yet the
bill carries a salary of $500 for dog

what it can legitimately attain, That ia
nm unwritten law and the law Of common
sense.
Another aspect Of the question is, how
ever, worthy OF some reflection. There
should be, even among corporations,
certain concern and consideration for
a neighbours welfare. Even an over
whelming and wholly redundant pros
perity should not blind n corporation to
proper regard for the interests of
others. We do not like to think that
the penalties which the prodigality of
Mr.. BELMONT is certain to entail upon
his neighbors who are in a similar line
Of business can be wholly indifferent
to him
A grosser view which would imply
that he contemplated those penalties is
something which we find wholly re-
pugnant, not to say impossible.

The Gold Yield OF the Transvaal.

The full returns Of the gold output of
the Transvaal for the calendar year 1904
show a production of 3,779,6?l ounces,
valued at about SIS 10000 The output
for 1903 was 1853, 759 ounces. Mining
operations were resumed on limited
seal, n May, 1901, and since then the
output shows steady increase-from
l,704, 40 ounces in 1902 to more than
double that amount in 1904, although
the yield is not yet up to that Of the two
years Immediately preceding the war
The returns for 1898 were 4555,0l5 ounces,
and for the nine months Of operation in
1899 they were 4,l0l AL ounces.
A feature of special interest is the ex-
pertinent now being made with Chinese
labor in the mines. Those interested
assert that it is already demonstrated
success but really no accurate state
ment on the subject can vet be made 1t
is true that there is an increase in the
total of monthly output, but this is due,
in part at least to the increase in the to-
tai number of workers The real test is
the comparative efficiency of Katir and
coole 1t is asserted that, 80 far as de-
termination is possible the coolie APP
pears TO be the better workman.
The statistics of employment in the
Transvaal mines show 5000 white men
engaged, an increase Of 1000 during the
year. The number 81 Kafiirs fuctuates
from month TO month, the general aver
age being little more than 1900. In
June last 100 coolies we're put TO work,
and 1900 were at work in October
Reports for later months are not yet

faction with the immediate prospects,
and the London money market seems to
be satisfied with recent returns. As the
game is played chiefly by these two,
there seems to be no one left who has
any right to complain.

The Presidents vital Question"

Mr. ROOSEVELT repeated his warnings
concerning race suicide in his remarks
10 a committee Of the "interchurch con-
ference on marriage and divorce, y al the
White House on Thursday. AZ compared
with the cause with viii h that commit
tee is occupied he said that questions
like the taritI and the currency are liter
ally Of no consequence whatsoever =, for,
no matter how wisely We may have solved
the other problems, it shall profit us
nothing if we have lost our own national
soul This awful loss is threatened, ac-
cording To the President, because -one Of
the most unpleasant and dangerous feat
ures of our American life is the diminish
ing birth rate and the loosening of the
marital tie among the old native Amer
can families
Now. according to the census Of 1870,
the birth rate in the United States, cal
culated very loosely it must be allowed,
is greater than in any European country,
except Austra-H Hungary, Germany and
Italy. and is little below the rate even in
those countries. 1t is true that on the
sornew hat uncertain basis Of calculation
adopted for accurate official returns of
births are generally unobtainable, the
rate seems to be much greater among
foreign born parents than among native;
but it is also much higher among the
foreign born than in the countries from
which they came. Outside Of New Eng
land, however, this discrepancy in the
birth rate of foreign and native is not
alarmingly great, and in the Southern
States il appears only very slightly. Sta
tstics OF births, however are so shame
fully deficient in this country that the
census birth rate can be regarded only as
a very rough estimate.
Lamentations over race suicide like
those uttered by Mr. ROOSEVELT were
recently poured forth by an English
Bishop concerning his own country, and
more especially its upper classes The
condition of France as to the matter is
well known. Here, as in England the
diminution in the size Of families, so far
as it is determinable, seems to be most
marked among people in more prosper
GUS material circumstances. For ex-
ample, the small roster Of Sunday school
pupils in the Fifth avenue district has
been explained 10y the actual scarcity
of children in that rich and fashionable
neghborhood
As to the matter Of divorces, the sta
tistics Of the census do not show it
TO be as crying an evil in this country
as the agitators against divorce would
make it out to be The census of 1900

rs the march to Lhasa, that caused the
Russian movement into Chinese Turk
estan territory and the strengthening
Of the guard Of the Russian agent at
kashgar also the presence Of British ex-
poring parties in western Tibet and on
the tracks from Kashmir into what the
Chinese call the Province of Sin-kiang
of which Kashpar forms a part. Re-
garded from the military point Of view,
IL was more or less justified by the action
Of the British in Tibet, and was intended
to protect the flank of the Russian Turkes-
tan possessions by securing the roads
from territory which il was thought WAS
about to pass into British occupation
Taken in connection with the other dis
turbing report that Russian troops have
entered the Province of Iii, that was ro-
troceded TO China several years ago after
protracIed negotiations nearly ending in
war. these movements in the heart OF Asia
are signs of the times. Among the most
significant OF the reports regarding Tibet
is the one saying that the Chinese High
Commissioner, TANG SHAo-YI, who left
China some little time ago for Calcutta
to treat with the British Indian Gov
eminent about its convention or treaty
with Tibet, has turned aside on his way
and taken the Yangtse-Kiang route to
Szechuen through which province he
will pass on his way to Lhasa The other,
equally interesting, is that the Dalai
Lama, who arrived at Urga in Mongolia
at the end of November last, is about
proceeding to Kiokhta, on the Siberian
frontier. to confer with the Russian
authorities.
1t may be judged from these incidents,
which are only few out OF many that
are occurring az consequences of the
war, what complica-
tons are preparing for international
when the war is over.
