Mining LAWS
and ACCIDENTS

Mining accidents are horrible
things to contemplate. The hor-
ror is increased by the fact that the
death and misery occur in the dark
underground passages and chambers
from which escape is sometimes
impossible and assistance difficult
to give In the past, lack of
knowledge of the causes of certain
classes of mine accidents and of
means for preventing them, gave
ample grounds for a wholesome
dread of the mines, in which gas
and coal dust, assisted by ignorant
or careless use of lamps and ex-
plosives, are instrumental in caus-
ing great havoc.
Tho public, as we'll as those more
directly concerned in mining, have
been fully aroused to an appreci-
| alton of the necessity for legislation
based on the results of scientific
and experimental laws as means for
minimizing the dangers and losses
from mining.
i In this respect considerable i'm
provement has been shown in recent
Years. The problems of the cause
and prevention of explosions in coal
, mines, the properties of explosives
, that fit or unfit them for mine
use, and legislation to promote safe
: ty have all been given and are be.
, ing given much careful attention
!, In spite of this the goal is still 9
long way off.
A large number of the most Sc
l rious accidents in our mines may
: be credited to the use of improper
$ explosives and to the improper us,
r of explosives. In the regulation o
these matters in the United States
r and particularly in those of tn,
G last named class, there is still
{ great opportunity for Improvement

!. ulating the use of explosives ii

Ell usual Teutonic thoroughness. o.

4 F1IR TRIAL HERE.

The opinions of Charles II. Hyde col
lected upon the highways by an agent
Of his defence do not signify much
about the state Of the public mind tow
ard him, and they certainly do not show
that such condition of prejudice exists
here as to make a fair trial for him i'm
possible. None of the things quoted were
said seriously by any one who felt re-
spOnsibility for what he was saying.
And how were they collected? For that
Is important. Upon such question il
would be perfectly possible for an investi-
gator like the one sent out by HYDE 10
obtain from the man In the street just
the answer wanted. All Hyde's repre-
sentative had 10 do was to take a lead
ing attitude, suggest by his questions
and remarks that Hyde was "croOk. ."
or, better still, convey the impression
of possessing Inside knowledge Of
Hyde'S dishonesty. and every one Of his
intcrlocutors would have responded with
sentiments such aS are quoted. The man
I'm the street never wants 10 appear SO
unSophiSticated as to express belief in
the honesty or even an open mind upon
the honesty, Of one whom inside in
formation" accuses.
No state Of violent prejudice or an
tipathy exists in this community toward
Hyde The public has not made up it's
mind on the question Of his guilt. The
newspapers have not even intimated an
opinion that the charge against him will
be justified. So far from Its being neces-
sary TO try him elsewhere so as to try
MIN fairly it is safe to say that the
various persons quoted by Hyde's agent
as expressing unhattering views Of him
might be impanelled and jury selected
from among them which could be
trusted not TO convict him if any reason
able doubt existed Of his guilt.

CoLER ON GODDESS SCHOOLS
He Fears That They Are Leading on to
Socialism.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: An editorial recently published by
you has just come to my attention II is
comment on what | am reported 20 have
said at St Paul with regard TO socialism
and the schools. May say with regard to
that assertion. with which you vigorously
disagree that sevcn-tenths of the New
York school teachers are socialists: that
this is very imperfect world and not al
ways what a man says for publication is
published just as he said 1t. Abbrevlation
does not always destroy the sense but some
times II changes It, My contention is that
a large proportion OF our high school gradu-
ates are socialists. A high school teacher
who has made a study OF the subject told
me this. and that, as the teaching force
draws its recruits from the high schools, 1t
will not be long before seven-tenths OF the
teaching force will be socialistic. / think
this is true. Moreover. / think II is true
that the tendencies of those I'm control--and
YOU know that in New York the teaching
force is not in control-of our system are
all in the direction OF socialism, and that
their whole movement is toward an inter
ference through the agency Of the school

Church and the State.
No man who has healthy sympathy for
his unfortunate fellows can protest against
feeding little ones who are hungry or fur
nishng them with medical attendance
when they are sick, but this should be done
through other agencies. II is not the bust
ness OF the school. The mind Of the grow
ing child should not be impressed with the
notion that the state Is bound TO provide for
his material wants. particularly when the
school puts all the emphasis on such ma
terial wants and teaches nothing authori-
tatively with regard 10 the moral needs OF
a sense OF obligation and sense OF re-
sponsibility. This is what Is bad for the
child and bad for the state.
DO not believe that the teaching social
lists are mere theorists; they are the prac-
teal men Of their movement What do you
think caused the increase In the socialist
vote and the socialist sentiment, so marked
I'm recent years? DO you ascribe IL TO the
soapbox men at the street corners? If so
| think you are wrong. | think the divorce
of religious inspiration from education and
the tendency Of the public school system
toward n materialistic basis have given to
the political movement just the philosophical

GRIPPING THE ARMY


The chairman Of the House Military
Affairs Committee has undertaken 10
reorganize the army by attaching a
series of riders 30 the army appropria-
tion bill These will be in order be-
cause they reduce expenses. the House
rules permitting only such general legis-
lation as cuts down expenditure TO I've
attached to an appropriation measure
1t is unwiSe to attempt a radical reOr-
ganiZation Of the military system under
such a limitation, and IT is apparent
even from a casual examination of the
riders prepared by Chairman Hay that
though they may lessen the cost of adj
miniStering the army. they will certain
ly reduce its efficiency as . means Of
national defence.
The Tribune has already pointed out
the disadvantages of increasing the
term of enlistment from three To five
years in order TO save some part Of the
present expense Of recruiting Our
small standing army can do its best
work by serving as a national school If
instruction. The more trained soldiers
il returns each year to civil life the
better is it preparing the country for a
military emergency. 1t now graduates
about twenty-seven thousand men an
nually, but with a five-year term 1t
would graduate only sixteen thousand.
With respect TO one Of its most impor-
tant functions its efficiency would be
cut down under the new scheme about
10 per cent
The fiye-year enlistment would mean
return toward conditions existing at
the time Of the Spanish war. SO would
the creation Of the proposed bureau Of
the General STAFF. to be composed of the
present General Staff and the adiutant
generals and inspector generals de-
partments The essential feature of the
General STAFF scheme is that assignments
to it shall not be permanent. II is Il
training schOd for the officers of the
line. for the men who will have to lead
the troops and handle them. Under the
proposed consolidation permanent
staff tenure would be established. and
the transferred officers of the adjutant
generals department and the inspector
generals department would serve on in
definitely i'm the higher grades of the
new bureau That would be doubling
back on the old trail toward the bu-
reaucratic order which broke down so
conspcuousy in 1898. Instead of serv-
ing up to its present capacity as Il
school for the line, the General staff
would be compelled to cut down It's line
assignments by twenty-one. Moreover.
the General Staff would he burdened
with extra duties not essential TO its
main purpose.
4 third serious defect in the Hay
measure is the abolition of the offices Of
the chiefs Of the coast artillery corps
and Of the division Of militia affairs and
the transfer Of The duties Of those offices
10 the General Staff bureau The coast
artillery corps comprises 7J0 officers
and 1900 men, and has no organiza-
ton higher than company. IL needs a
head Of its own, and so does the d.

much admirable work In drawing the

CHINESE REPUBLICAN, PERILS.

CHINESE REPUBLICAN, PERILS.
The chief peril by which the project
Of a Chinese republic is confronted is
that Of territorial disintegration. If
China meant simply China, the way
would be clear. 1t is probable that a
republican form of government would be
generally acceptable and perhaps work
able III the Middle Kingdom. But there
is a vast difference between the Middle
Kingdom and the Chinese Empire.
Granted that the republic would be ac-
cepted from Peking to Canton and from
Chusan TO the Smiling range, what OF
the vast and pOpulouS realms outside
those boundaries?
There are five grand divisions OF the
empire outside of the Middle Kingdom
which must he considered. not one or
which appears To he inclined toward re-
publicaniSm. and most Of which are rea-
SOnably suspected of an unconqueraDie
aversion to il. These are ManchuIla,
Mongolia. Sungaria.- Eastern Turkestan
and Tibet. In area they comprise nearly
twO-thirdS of the empire In population
they are at least sufficiently great to
demand attention In government they
are somewhat loosely held under imperial
rule. With the proclamation of repub-
lie at Peiing they would probably de-
clare their independence. and if they did
not fight for the restoration Of the mon
archy at Peking they would certainly
resist the application of the new system
10 them.
Ii is with a view to the preservation
Of the integrity of the empire, rather
than with any regard for the diScredited
Manchu dynasty. that Mr.. Iuan-him-
self Chinaman and not a Manchu-has
been holding out for constitutional mon
archy. The eXpedient of submitting the
question to the judgment of the people
through an elected national assembly,
is theoretically sound. How 1t will work

cal tribes of Tibet and the nOmads Of
