TROUBLE FOR NEW YORK.

TROUBLE FOR NEW YORK.
 One of the evils and disadvantages of our congestion of population is now showing itself in the rent riots" in New York, along what is known as the East Side section of the city. The cause of the trouble lies in the fact that owners of the miserable tenement houses and shanties demand increased rents, and the people who live in them refuse to pay the increase. This rise comes at a time when the poor tenants are least able to pay even what was already demanded. Many of them are work ing people who have been thrown out of employment and have nothing to pay with, while. many others have to work. at such low wages that they have little over bare subsistence. The result has been serious disorders and
 riots. in which the women have join ed the men in lawlessness.
 All this. we repeat, is one of the natural and unavoidable results of overcrowding. Property values in New York are enormous. land is almost priceless and taxes are high. The as well as the wealthy, and conditions force them to crowd like rats into any kind of hole or den that will shelter them. It may be that the rents re- ceived for these miserable dwellings is not enough to pay even reasonable interest on the value of the property, and that taxes, insurance and other expenses take away all the profits, and that the landlords are forced to raise the rents. On the other hand 1t may be that the owners of the property take advantage of the necessities of the poor.
 Whatever the real cause or causes of the present trouble may be. the pri- mary reason lies m the tendency of the people to flock to the cities when they have no assurance of any means of living. and of remaining there through want and misery. and often of actual starvation. The noise and hustle and glare of the city has an attraction which many country peo- pie find it impossible to resfst. They quit their country homes. where they might at least be sure of plenty to live on, and crowd to the city under the belief or hope that they will find living easier and more pleasant than on the farm. .In the large majority of cases this Is a grave mistake, to be found out when it may be too late. Unless a country man has perfect as- surance of a good business or posi- tion in town he had better stick to the soil.
 How remedy is to be found and ap piled in cases like the New York troubles may well be a serious and diff hcult problem. To advise the country people to remain there apparently has little effect, and to advise the over crowded in the cities to go to the

Danger in Prospect.

Norfolk Landmark.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has all ways ridiculed The Landmark for be- ing afraid of the proposition of Will liam Barclay Parsons and other in- quisitive engineers to dig twelve-miIe holes in tho ea cth to see how hot 1t is down there. One of these smart Aces wonts to drive two of these internal holes close to each other and connect them at the bottom. so that by pour
 rg water into one hole the water will come up lot out of the other. We say that ttis sort of thing might create a volcano right in our midst and by way Of warning, we direct th e attention of the scoffing Advertiser to a piece of information found In its own editorial columns:
 An English astronomer has been gazing at the sun and seeing things. We don't know whether he had taken something just before focusing his long distance tube on old Sol or not, but at any rate he saw something that rather frustrated him. He saw or says he saw, a flame shoot up out of the sun at q speed of ten thousand miles a minute and reach total height of 325.000 miles before 1t stopped. It remained in view seven teen minutes and then went back-into its hole, we suppose.
 That is what might happen on the Earth if these fellows should succeed in their mischievous plot to puucture the surface.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 10, 1908.
THE UNEMPLOYED.

Tlowet CT hopeful snl confident one mas fsel as to the cGfnnS of better conditions in the near future. the. fact remains that already there is much want and misery and suffering on ac- qount of loss of employment and conse- duent depreciation of means of sup port. Much complaint comes from New York of something like an inundation of vagrants. tramps, loafers and other members of the great family of the unemployed. Like complaints come from London. Paris, Berlin and other large cities of Europe and the United States, and the matter is fast becom- ing an acute and serious one.
 This influx is not, as a general thing, composed of professional tramps and vagrants, but is largely made up of working people of every kind who have been thrown out of employment on ac- count of the financial depression, and who gravitate to the cities in hope of finding relief in some way. The greater number of them are men who would gladly be at work if they could find any to do. Speaking of this, The In- dianapolis Star says
 The worst feature of the .unemploy- ment is that many are forced into the ranks of pauperisIn by winters mis- cry and despair. With semi criminal loafers and professional tramps the pc lice know how to deal, but with the ~~ -k and discouraged workman whom
 f opportunity degrades to the
 class, the question is one, not
 ession and restraint, but of re-
 .tt n and rehabilitation. Our en- 5a d charity and relief and set
 agencies should give particu-
 ntion to this phase of the em- E.s [ question. Something has been . this direction, but much more A. to be done.
 Even If the improvement in business and industrial conditions should be as great and as rapid as the most hopeful of us can expect, there is bound to be much of idleness and consequent sui fering for weeks to como. Business and work cannot resume their normal condition at bound. and already the loss of employment has been a serious matter. both in extent and in it's ef- fects. There will be ample field for the for5unste and the charitable to help those who both need and deserve heln.

BARN FOR RENr,
1000 KOREANS MURDERED.
Members of Pro-Japanese Society
 Killed by Insurgents.

seul, June IS (via San Francisco, July D.-Nearly one thousand Kor- cans have been murdered by the Kor- can insurgents and so-ealled patriots within the last few months. These Koreans were all members of the H. Ching-Hoi. a pro-Japanese society. Most of the Koreans murdered by their fellow-c countrymen were peace full. hard-working men, whose only crime seems to have been opposition to the disturbing element in the coun- try and friendliness to the Japanese protectorate. In addition to murders there have been many cases of cruelty and hardship.
 The actual statistics carefully col lected and in every case verified show that since the Japanese protectorate of Korea commenced 926 members of the Il-Ching-Hoi have been murder ed by the Korean insurgents, and 360 houses have been burned, involving a loss of about b0,000 yen.
 The revolution in Korea Is gradu- ally being driven into corner The scattered bands of rioters are being rounded up, and either forced into surrender or their activities effectu- ally stopped. The course taken by the government fin the last rigorous campaign instituted against the dis turbing element Is approved by the people of the country, both foreign and native.

Washington, July 7.-Daniel Dav- enport of Bridgeport, Conn. has been here for several days getting the rec ord in the Buck Stove boycott case corrected. Mir. Davenport occupied his spare time complaining of the hot weather here and singing the dirge of the democratic party under Bryan's leadership.
 Bryan will be nominated at Dem yer and just as surely defeated In November" said MT. Davenport He will be before the American people as long as some foolish people egg him on. He never has been democrat. but is populist. His doctrines are populstc. The democratic party Is deceased. Since 1896 the flower of the democracy has been going over to the republican party Taft ought to be elected, l say as an old-fashioned democrat. Prior to 1896 Connecticut frequently went democratic but that year 1t was carried by Mckinley by S0,000. Ever since then it has been good for from 25,000 to 10000 repuh- lcan majority The whole north is republican, and In the south and southwest the democratic party Is without cohesion"
