Demands of Working Men.

Controversy RACES as to what has brought
England and Ler people to present condi-
lions, conditions so bad as to cause sober
men to apparently lose their heads. Not
the least of these causes may be laid at the
door of the workingmen themselves, in that
through their jealousy of capital and sus-
picion of non-Sympathetic EMPLOYERS they
have gone too far, and through combina-
ton have secured greater privileges in Ger
tain directions than were justified by the
nature of England's competitive trade with
foreign peoples. The working men of Eng
land have said that it should lie within
their power to limit the amount of work to
be accomplished by each individual within
the day of labor, regardless of the ability
of that individual to accomplish more or
less than his fellow.
Material conditions are no different in
England today from what they were at
any recent perior of great prosperity Her
supplies of raw material at home are lust as
great, If not greater, and the sources of
supply abroad are expanding and show a
corresponding cheapening in the price of
material. England's merchant marine is as
great a factor as ever In the commerce of
the world. the amount of capital ayaiIa BILE
for enterprise is apparently inexhausttble
and, in fact, a careful review OF all these
material points goes far to show that any
depression which may prevail in British in
duStry must be due to human faults and
policies.
SSAAAS VI oAALASA agriculture.
British agriculture has steadily declined
during recent years. not because of any
lack of market and not entirely because of
competition from newer countries Prices
at which products are sold in England
mark the highest point obtained for such
products anywhere. The labor question
and the heavy burden OF taxation have
done more to depress this industry than
anything else. The natural emigration
from England is from the agricultural dis
tricts and is a serious blow to the farming
interests. That this Is realized by the
British government authorities is shown in
the fact that H. Rider Haggard, the ia
nous novelist, who is also an authority on
agricultural economics, has been sent to
the United States to make a report upon
the farm colonies established by the Saliva
ton Army In Colorado and California In the
hope that some suggestion may be derived
whereby the vast acreage of manless land
In England may be rendered available for
the great multitude Of now landless men.
The climate of the British Isles La a con-
slant threat to profitable farming, but

ability can largely overcome this handicap.
as Is shown In many other parts Of the
world.
A crisis In England's affairs Is at hand.

talk OF possible change In the govern
ment, meaning change in national poll

An Infiowing Stream of Aliens.

While this assisted emigration is in prog
ress, quietly but surely there flows from the
continent to England a stream of aliens,
probably comprising the most undesirable
class of immigration which is at present
moving into any country. These people are
the poverty-stricken peasants and laborers
of Russia and Galicia. few of whom possess
more than the miserable clothes they carry
upon their persons and whose advent into
England means nothing more or less than
an increase of the labor available for the
sweatshOp and other mserably paid trades,
or what Is worse, recruits for the penal in
those dependent upon charity for their very
existence.
Followed out to it's logical ending there
can be but one result to national policy
such as this, and that is a reduction in the
number of worthy, able-bodied native citi-
Zens who comprise the labor supply and the
military strength of the country, and the
substitution therefor of an element of I'M
desirable foreigners who lessen rather than
add to the strength of the people as a
whole. Within the life of a generation a
noticeable change can be effected in the
character of the English people through a
continuation of this outward movement of
native population and inward movement of
aliens. In 1903 10000 British left their
homes, seeking permanent residence else
where; in 1904 this number was increased to
700. The number of foreigners coming to
England to remain there permanently aver
ages between 10000 and 10000 year. and is
now increasing, notably during the past few
months.
The English people do not, as a rule, long
remain at odds with common sense. Prog
resS is being made in the movement to SO
remodel the fiscal system as to favor home
industry, Tighten taxation and restore agri-
culture to its former position as great ma
tional industry

Emigration and immigration
Serious Problems.

UPON CHARITY.
A Constant Inflow of Aliens From the
Continent and Emigrants Going
to the Colonies.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LONDON, March ). 1905
Helping worthy and able-bodied native
citizens to leave the country and raising
more money for the support of those VINO
will not work, those who cannot work and
those who cannot find work have largely
absorbed the energies of the English peo-
pie during the past winter months In the
meantime, Objectionable immigration has
been entirely unrestricted.
In no country in the world will the com
ing of spring this year be more heartily
welcomed than in England. The past win
ter has been one of great distress, an
unusual number of workers have been out
of employment, general business has been
dull, the weather has been severe and the
charitable resources of the country have
been strained almost to the breaking point
to keep an appreciable percentage of the
population from actual starvation. Nearly
one million people have applied each day
to the public authorities for some form of
relief, and the $50, 900 900 raised by taxation
for this purpose has been inadequate to
supply the demands of the year.
Relieving the distress of the unfortunate
and finding employment for willing work.
ers are features all too common i'll the life
of every civilized country. Out of the sit
uat1on In England, however, mas grown a
peculiar form of relief which, when conSld-
cred calmly, can only be regarded as of
doubtful benefit to the nation as a whole.
1t is the fad now to help some worthy but
distressed man, woman or family to leave
the country. These people are presumably
sent to the colonies at the expense of the
charitably inclined. To assume that a
British citizen located in Canada Austria
liza, South Africa or some remote British
dependency is as useful to the mother
no I'M
ulaton at home is one form of what is
called thinking imperially."

Keeping Up the Army and Navy.

NeePIHS Up NAVY:
Prominent Englishmen advocating
CONSUMPTION as being the only way in which
the British army can be kept up to the re-
quired standard of SIZE and efficiency. The
supply of British sailors is hardly suffi-
cient to man the new vessels as fast as
they are put into commission In the rural
districts in time of harvest it is difficult to
secure sufficient labor to make farming pay
its way, and throughout Great Britain,
when industry is fiourishing, the supply %
hands for mills, factories and other like en-
terprises is none too ample. Notwithstand
ing these facts, emigration is held to be
the solution of the present distressful con-
dtionS, and the wonders it is to bring about
in making the whole people once more pros
porous and happy are daily set forth in
print and from the platform by many esti
mable people genuinely d,sinterested in
their desire not only to help their fellow
men, but to be of service to their country

At the time of the Great Northern

life, the train was coming down the
kootenai river at a lively speed,
when, upon rounding = sharp curve

From that time until Friday,
regardless Of the fact that the rail :

ployed men to search for IL along the
river, and that relatives OF the lost
engineer have maintained a constant
lookout for IL, NO trace of the body
could be found.
The wrecked engine a few weeks
ago, so soon AZ the water had receded
sufficiently, was hauled from the bed
OF the river. At that time many ex.

disappointed. The island upon

From YorkxilIs to Rock Hill.

The idea of a level macadamized
road from Yorkville to Rock Hill is too
good a one to be dropped without very
careful consideration, and as such a
road will surely be built sometime, we
do not know Of better time than now
to start.
The benefits from such a road would
not be confined to either Yorkville or
Rock Hill: but would extend to a very
considerable portion Of the county. Not
only the people of Rock Hill and York.
vile, but those living to the east and
west Of these places and to the north
and south Of the road would find such a
highway very acceptable.
Mr.. Finley's proposition to subscribe
$500 on condition that the road go by
his Rock Hill plantation is very liberal.
There is nothing Objectionable to his
stipulation: because his plantation Is
but little IL any off such a bee line as
Is desired. Mr. Harry Wylie's offer to
give $50 is no less liberal. and another
offer from Mr.. /. H. Norris Of York.
vile to contribute 500 could easily
be reckoned as the most generous pro-
position of the three were 1t not for
the fact that Mr.. Norris comes from
a country where the people have long
appreciated the value and benefit of
good roads.
Such road as Is under considera-
L,.tl Ill rNd
it should be built quickly. AS to
whether 1t will ever be built by private
subscriptions. Of course, is doubtful;
but considering the Importance Of the
undertaking and the many benefits to
be derived from it. it certainly looks
as II the energy, progress and intelli-
gence Of the people interested should
be equal to the task Of carrying 1t to
success in some way.

DAMAGE SUITS FILED.

Among the recently fled damage
suits, is one against the Bell Telephone
&C npany and one against the Western
Union Telegraph company.
Mr.. E. Fred Bell is the plaintiff In the
case against the telegraph company
He was in North Carolina at the time
of the death Of his mother recently. and
could have probably been at her bed
side had the telegraph company
promptly delivered telegram that was
filed for him In Rock Hill. He is ask
ing for damages in the sum Of $1,000.
On bringing its line into Yorkville
some weeks ago, the Bell Telephone
company elected to go through a field
belonging to Mrs. Anna B. Steele and
others. Representatives Of the owners
forbade the employees Of the company
from setting up posts or stretching
wires, and they went on with their
work without paying any attention to
the objections Of the owners OF the
,and. The plaintiffs complaint, just
filed, among other things. sets forth:
THAT on or about June 1. 1905. the
said defendant, while constructing Its
said line between the said Rock Hill
and Yorkville. without authority and
wholly without permission from these
plaintiffs. undertook to erect, and did
erect, its posts for its electrical wires
on and over the lands hereinbefore de-
scribed, Notwithstanding that at the
time these plaintiffs forbade the de-
fendant so to erect Its posts. and warn
ed the defendant against so doing, and
in this connection, these plaintiffs fur
ther allege that they forbade the defend =
ant to stretch its wires on the SAID
posts on a subsequent day and warned
the defendant against so doing
The plaintiffs claim damages against
the defendant Bell Telephone company
in the sum Of $4,000.
Messrs. Finley & Jennings represent
the plaintiffs in both cases.
