AN INDUSTRIAL PHENOMENON.
P~ecuIiarIties of the Ebb and Flow of
h Human Tide.
nLgtaa.t-Ato T1..a

Philadelphia Record.
In his annual report, of which the data
on migration have already been given in
these columns. Secretary Straus, Of the
Department OF Commerce and Labor, says
that never before has there been such
a multitude Of returning aliens. This
enormous emigration is partially due to
the competition of the great steamship
companies in cheapening ocean transpor-
tation during a portion Of the year, but II
was caused in much greater degree by the
business depression and accompanying loss
of employment for industrious hands. In
the untoward business condition that pre-
vailed the outflow of more people by up
ward of 5000 than the inflow is anything
but a calamity. SO far from 1t, this reflux
movement has operated as a safety valve.
Instead Of folding their hands and cont
planning of the misery more than 700, 900
aliens have taken steamships in search of
employment elsewhere, or in visiting their
old homes, expecting to return under better
auspices and leaving better opportunities
of employment for those who remain be-
hind.
1t is to be hoped that such an indus
trial and social phenomenon as the depar-
ture of more emigrants than arrive will
never again be witnessed in this land. The
outflow OF more than 1000 o industrious
working people is one of the most striking
indications of the severity of the late crisis
In a period of great industrial activity II
would be as disastrous in its effects as a
general strike. On the other hand, there
Is no question that the ocean movement
to and fro promoted by cheap transporta-
ton constitutes one Of the most potent
factors In modern progress. In making
people OF different pationalities better ac-
quainted with each other it tends to les
sen and finally expel the antipathies of
race that have contributed almost as much
as luminosity of religious sects did for
Terly to wars among men. BY affording
opportunities of employment or business in
one country when they fail in another Il
mitigstes the feelings of discomfort with
the conditions of life and thus keeps down
the recruitments to the ranks of socialism
erd anarchy. In former ages when men
were stirred by the migratory Impulse they
moved slowly in immense masses TO take
forcible possession OF a new habitat. Now
they have only to purchase a cheap steam
ship to be waited In a few days to any
desirable quarter of the globe.

BEST NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.
The Colder Rule rs "A Beacon ON Life,
Highway.

Edward Markham in Success.
The nobIest resolution that any citizen
could make for the New Year would be
the resolution to live more faithfully by
the Golden Rule, that sublime principle of
conduct for this world and for all worlds.
Failure to live by this law causes the chief
sorrows and collisions among men.
Let each earnest man search into his
words and ways, determined to find the
special manner in which he breaks the
Golde law-his special habit that works
injustice or unhappiness in his shop, his
office, his home, his city. He will find,
perhaps, that in the shop he is in the habit
Of misplacing tools, and this hinders the
work OF his comrades; that in the office he
is in the habit of being late In keeping APP
pointments, and thus steals other peoples
time; that in the club he is in the habit of
belittling worthy competitors, and thus
Joins the gang OF thieves who steal repu-
tations; that in the home he is in the
habit of monopolizing the conversation,
and thus fails to draw out the powers Of
others; that in the city he is in the habit
Of splitting on the sidewalk, and thus spolls
the comfort of his townsmen; that in bus
mess he is in the habit of misrerresenting
his goods, and thus robs under the cover
of custom.
These are the problems in the Golden
Rule: and here are ample space and verge
for New Year Tesolutions-space and verge
for building character. character which is
the greatest thing In man.

Waste Of Coal.

The most important result attained by
the mining congress at Pittsburg was In
obtaining the assurance of a more genera
cooperation on the part OF federal and
state governments and mining corporations
to prevent loss of life and waste of ma.
terial. Coal is wasted both in the mining
and in the burning. The establishment OF
a bureau of mines ana mining appears tc
be certain. This is deemed to be the best
means of co-ordinating future effort and
experience in ascertalning the causes OF
mine fatalities, Of insdfing the adoption OF
suitable and scientific measures of waste
prevention, and of procuring the non-con.
flicting, necessary state and federal legls,

1t is a bit astonishing to learn from an

pediency of thus making a great public
