GERNANY,S PROGRESS

The PanticrmaniccOn congress at Dresden the other
day was marked with a considerable amount
Of chauvinism and beating of the war drums
Count Reventlow declared that German naval
construction must not cease until the German
navy WAS as large and powerful rs the British
while General Won Llebert said that Germany
had 10 diplomats. and, therefore. must make up
for that deficiency with the brute force of army
and navy. If" be cried, anybody asks me
whether 10 dsarm, answer, For Gods
"a sake preserve your army intact and build
ships. ships, ships"" Such utterances were
cheered to the echo. and undoubtedly they ex-
pressed the thoughts OF many OF the more az
gressve German minds. Yet there were other
themes which might well have been dwelt upon
more inspiring 10 Germany than these. and less
marked with potential defiance 10 other powers.
IL might have been profitable. for example, to
review the enormous progress which Germany
has actually made in the last half generation
especially I'm comparison with that country with
which she chiefly competes and which she chiefly
regards a rival. Had this congress consulted
the statistical yearbook of the German Empire
II might have exulted in the rapidity with which
Germany was getting ahead OF Great Britain In
population. In 1890 Germany was twelve mill
ions ahead; in 1905 more than seventeen mill
ions. one reason for that is that the German
birth rate IS higher than the British-more than
"a 10 2S 10 the thousand-while the German
death rate Is falling much more rapidly than the
British. In Germany the surplus OF births over
deaths was III 10 the thousand in 1890, and
14.5 IN 1905. while in England it was only 1O.7
and III respectively In those years. Such cir
cumstances 20 far toward explaining Germany's
more rapid growth in population
Nor has the growth Of industry Jagged behind
that Of population. Take, for example the gross
receipts Of railroads. In 1890 these were greater

WORDS AND DEEDS IN CUBA.

my retainers, the Cuban Junta." says the
illegal adviser" of the promoters of Cuban
deviltry in this city, "are working TO give the
country peaceful and righteous government"
Other spokesman of the rebels have again and
again assured that their campaign would
be conducted with scrupulous regard for prop
erty rights. Nothing would be wantonly de-
stroyed and no private property would be taken
without full compensation IL was going to be
a high toned. orderly, law respecting revolution,
with no arson, no marauding. no footing.
Yet from day to day the news has teemed
with reports of precisely the doings which were
not to be done. Railroad bridges are blown up
trains are seized and looted, stations are burned
all that cannot be stolen is destroyed, and now
in Santa Clara the rebels are making a spe-
cialty OF seizing American property. The MILL
tant agents of the "junta' are. with ven
gesnce. working for peace, by means Of VIC
lence and for righteousness, by means OF lar
ceny and arson
Under such circumstances some additional
words OF the illegal adviser of these brigands
are significant II do not say. he says, that
annexation is the ultimate issue of the pres
lent state Of affairs. but. unless President Palma
consents TO submit TO honest, peaceful adjudi-
cation it is very probable" Unless the law
fui government OF the republic consents TO arbi-
trate its own title to existence with a gang of
irresponsible thieves and cuttnroatS. the 1nue-
pendence Of the island Is TO be destroyed! In
truth that is a fine programmed
But we should like TO know upon what meat
this illegal adviser has fed that he has be-
come able so confidently to forecast the action
of the American government Cuban annexa-
ton is very probable" is it? What have this
"junta" and its attorney 10 say about the mat
ter? That is something which not even the
responsible government at Havana can solely
determine, but the final word on which is TO be
spoken at Washington, and not elsewhere.

lfR. COLER,S BILLS.

Greatly as we deprecate any waste or irreg-
ularity in public expenditures, we feel bound to
urge Controller Metz TO pay those Coler tele-
phone bills. He is standing out on a matter Of
principle. and principle is a good thing; but
blood is thicker than water. and there are times
when great mercy must be accomplished with
out too much fussing over technical obstacles.
II is all very well for Mr.. Metz TO be watch
dog of the treasury. but he should remember that
there are other things TO be considered. He
knows how it is himself. When he wants TO pass
out plum he doesn't like TO be bothered by the
Civil Service rules, and thinks ii very fntcal Of
the authorities having jurisdiction not 10 throw
aside all law and precedent TO suit his con-
venience. He ought TO sympathize, then. with
Mr. COler. The Borough President must talk.
If there isn't n reporter or n stenographer or a
delegation or a mob at hand then he must use
a telephone. If he cannot express himself, there
is likely at any moment to be an explosion, caus-
ing widespread disaster. 1t is a situation much
like that prevailing at the time of the cholera
scare. when Governor Flower endeared himself
To the people by his historic damn" and his
determination to have a refuge for arriving pas
sengers, law or no law. Mr.. Coler must talk,
and the public. for its own safety. must let
him talk. There is no telling what he might
do otherwise. Therefore. law or no law. let
the public pay the bill and be satisfied.
Also we Inlnk MT. MelZ SnOulu pay tOr tnOSe
thousands Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit tickets.
II may be a little strange for the city to pay for
what Mr.. Metz seems 10 regard as Mr.. COler's
personal charities in the form Of rides for his
friends. but that is merely an irregular form Of
municipal ownership. The plutOcratic power
over government fOrbids 4Ir. COler 10 cOnfisCate
the railroad. Mr.. Hearst has not yet been chosen
Governor SO the company continues TO demand
the payment of fares. Mr.. Coer, however. is a
practical municipal ownership man. If the peo-
pie cannot instantly own the railroads and ride
free, he will give them. some Of them, the
free rides just the same by having the city buy
the tickets. That IS on the same principle as
buying school books for the children. OF course,
to be perfect the free rides should be universal
but the ideal cannot be reached at A bound So
the privilege of riding at municipal expense is
limited by the size of the bills which generally
pass muster I'm the Controllers office Still.
perhaps the distribution was large enough. Mr.
Coler's friends were supplied and everybody
knows that Mr.. Colers friends are ''the people"

TIE CRY OF TIE CHILDREN.

There was a spectacle I'm Baltimore not long
ago which was not credltable to that city or
10 :he State of Maryland 1t was the sight Of
a mob Of thousands struggling. in Brooklyn
Bridge fashion, To secure licenses for the work
ing OF children of tender years in factories 1t
seemed to mean one of two things. Either peo-
pie were poor that they were compelled to
set little girls and boys at work at unreasonable
ages or they were so covetOus of gain as to be
willing to coin money out of the lifeblood of
childhood
We are told that considerably more than ten
thousand children between the ages of twelve
and sixteen are employed in Maryland. That
may be larger or a smaller number proper
tionately, than In other states. It is, at any
rate, a number which. Maryland should wish
and should strive to decrease rather than to in
crease. 1t would be cause OF legitimate pride
for that or any state TO be able 10 say that all
its children under sixteen years were in school,
and not one was employed in a factory. The
situation is not nearly as bad now. perhaps, as
when Mrs. Browning made the world hear the
piteous cry OF the children, but it is bad enough
TO inspire a desire and an earnest effort for
improvement It IS not creditable 90 civilization
that the period of life which nature designs
for study. for growth and for Joy should be
prematurely given to grinding drudgery stunt
ing the mind. wrecking the body and depriving
life OF some of It's most essential elements
In one respect the child labor law of Mary
land is doing good. 1t is calling attention to the
bad effects of child labor. We are told that e1-
aminatiOns reveal the fact that about 10 per
cent OF these Juvenile laborers are either illit-
crate or physically unsOund, or both. If that Is
case OF cause and effect, as are justified
in assuming it largely Is. ii forms a strong
indictment Of the child labor system. II IS
well 10 refuse. as the authorities are doing. to
give licenses for the working Of illiterates and
invalids. But how many children of twelve
who begin bright and healthy. are made men
tally or physically deficient by their untimely
drudgery?

convention at Buffalo. Jerome. the regular Dem
Ocratic candidate. is impossible. and. besides. no
matter who is nominated at Buffalo. the regular
Democratic ticket IS sure TO be defeated. The
candidacy OF Hearst has made that absolutely GER
tain. The fight will be between the Republicans
and Hearst. with danger that tie latter will be
elected unless the Republicans nominate man that
measures up to the standard demanded by the IN
dependent Democrats for IL IS this which will
be the deciding factor in this state November
next.

those of his own political faith with the result
that a large majority with whom he has talked
