Law-Abiding Bermuda.

From the New York Evening Post.
Bermuda was obliged recently to invoke
the services Of a hangman for the first
time in thirty-three years. With a popu-
lation of some 10000. two-thirds of which
is colored, the colony is singularly free
from crime. The supreme courts docket
rarely contains more than a score of
cases yearly Counting police court cases,
not more than $50 people are annually
convicted of offenses and misdemeanors
The island is notably free from the laws
delays. Even when the supreme court is
not in session. a prisoner has the right
to demand an immediate hearing under
the speedy trials act Only short time
elapses between a mans arrest and his
trial. There is no appeal, or rather an
appeal Is too expensive proceeding for
most Of those who commit crime. An
other deterrent lies in the isolation of the
island. 1t is extremely difficult for an Of
fender to leave Bermuda. In most cases
criminals prefer to remain In the colony
and face a jury. If 1t is true that Of
lenses against the law grow in proper
ton to the number of people unemployed
then Bermuda should not experience an
increase in crime, for the labor demand
greatly exceeds the supply, and enforced
idleness is exceptional.

Mergers in England.

From the Boston Transcript.
Among the matters they order different
ly In England are combines or mergers.
London papers bring US news of the
merger Of three great steamer lines in
the Australian trade. Thirty-one vessels
are brought under the management of the
combine and will hereafter be operated
tremendously, competition apparently not
having paid. Nobody in London appears
to be surprised. dismayed or excited be-
cause the three lines have got together
In this country such a merger would pro-
woke antagonism as a trust and would
have to fight judicial proceedings insti-
tuted to dissolve 1t. In England the Aus
tralian steamer combine seems to be re-
garded as something normal. The Times
says 1t will be "a very important factor
n the Australasian shipping trade" and
says no more. The English think they
order these matters better than we do.
They carry their ideas of commercial
freedom so far as to say that those who
,an compete are the judges of whether
they should compete. If a merger be-
comes intolerable Englishmen fall back
upon the dictum of one of their famous
Judges that a contract in restraint of
trade is just the same as any other con-
tract, but with this difference, it cannot
be enforced at law.

Last Of the Horse Cars.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The ridicule bestowed upon owners OF
cross-town railroads in New York city,
upon which horse cars were operated oc-
casionally each day, seems to have re-
suited in neglect to thus technically con-
n,v with the terms of franchise held for
speculative purposes At all events. The
perfunctory service has latterly been
omitted. and Attorney General Carmo6y
has ordered the rails removed from the
streets and the ancient franchises for
feited The horse cars. or in many. II
not most cases. mule cars. offered a
strange contrast to the elevated. the Sub
way and the electric surface cars. Whit
interesting as a reminder of early means
of urban transportation. the antique
horse cars of all enterprising cities. and
even small towns, have gone to join the
ancient stage coach in retirement

May Take Most Of Summer,

At best. nothing can be done with the
home rule bill until April, for financial
Affairs will take up all Of March, and
siow that Premier Asquith has promised
to make liberal concessions to overcome
the objections of Ulster, it will probably
take most of the summer to reframe the
bill. No one Is seriously displeased at
the delay, for it is believed it will work
to a better understanding. The govern
snent will have time to consider thor
atghly its proposed amendments and to
determine whether they will have the de-
sired effect OF promoting peace.
The alterations involved in the present
bal would be enormous and some portions
gould have to be redrafted II any of the
amendments are adopted. The exclusion
5r Ulster wou require complete mod
sfcation OF the financial clauses, and home
rule within home rule would be quite as
complicated.
Premier Asquith will be very sure of
nis ground before placing any of his
suggestions on paper, but during the

Death Struggle Under Water.

According to testimony of members of
the crew Of the destroyer Pigmy. which
was on the spot when the submarine Al
disappeared off Davenport in January. the
occupants Of the Inflated vessel must have
lived for at least an hour after the sub
marine sank, and during the greater part
of that time were engaged in the hope
less task of trying to bring her to the sur
face. The crew Of the Pigmy saw during
that time periodical coneshaped upheavals
of water growing gradually less until
they ceased. This. say the experts, proves
that an effort was being made to re-
store buoyancy by blowing out the trim
ming tanks until the last ounce OF COM
pressed air was exhausted. How the sur
plus buoyancy, which every submersible
retains when diving, was lost Is ques-
ton which may never be solved. 1t
might have been caused by a mishap to
door to operate.
There is now little hope of ever bring
ing the AT to the surface. She lies n
twenty-seven fathoms OF water, while
no submarine has yet been raised from
greater depth than seven fathoms. Be-
sides, the boat lies with her nose tilted
at an angle of thirty degrees. and her
quarters buried in the mud to the base of
her coming tower, SO it would be almost
impossible to get grip on 1t.
Passing of the Omnibus.
The thousands OF horse-drawn omni-
buses which were a familiar sight in
London a few years ago are now serving
as chicken houses, as woodsheds or cot
tages at the beaches. There are now only
about q dozen of the horse buses left
in service. those being used to connect
street car lines which do not cross the
bridges over the Thames. The omnibus
companies have been disposing of the old
vehicles for 81 apiece, rate SO low
that the demand has been greater than
the supply.
Unionist society women have started a
novel campaign against the Welsh dis
establishment bill. When the idea was
first mooted the proposal was to hold
Wednesday afternoon social functions
during March at the town houses of four
peeresses. each gathering being attended
by one of the Welsh bishops. Other
peeresses. however. have indicated their
willingness to lend their houses to the
public in the cause Of the establishment,
and these will be utilized on Saturday
afternoons when their owners are out
of town for the week end. The privilege
of roaming through the homes of the
aristocracy is expected to attract a great
many people. and the gatherings will be
announced as great musters against the
bill.

Picked for Premiership.

Lord lerby is being picked by many
political observers as likely to prove a
dark horse" in the contest for the
premiership when the unionists return
to power.
Those who most ardently supported
Bonar Law are now believing that his
leadership has proved a failure. He Is
over seventy years of age. and he Is a
liberal uniontst, a party association which
has never helped a man to the leader
ship Of the unionists.
Lord Derby, on the other hand. who
has been unionist leader in Lancashire
for many years. has never associated
himself with the tariff reform. which
has helped to defeat the unionists at
free FODDER" like most Lancastrians.
and has further strengthened his posi-
ton by taking a strong stand against
those who threatened civil war II the
stanch anti-home ruler. Lord Derby
spoke strongly against the Ulster men,
should they rise against law and order.
Again he denounced attempts to revive
the royal veto. when a section Of his
party suggested that the king should
be petitioned to withhold his signature
from the home rule bill. He therefore
gained the reputation OF being strong
constitutionalist.
The Lancashire leader has the advan-
C6&c OF having SeTEeu III Tie HouSS VA
commons and has had considerable ex-
perience in the cabinet. He started his
career as member Of the stan Of the
governor general of Canada; was chief
press censor and private secretary to
Lord Roberts during the South African
war, and was twice mentioned In dis
patches for conspicuous services. Upon
return to England he became one OF the
lords of the treasury, and later financial
secretary to the war office where he
remained until he entered the cabinet as
postmaster general.
He had to retire from the house OF
commons. where he represented the West
Houghton division of Lancashire for four
teen years, on the death of his father In
1905 but he has continued his interest In
politics Il not actually premier when
the unionists return to power. he is sure
to fill one of the cabinet offices. His
but of even greater assistance is his in
tinacy with King George.

PRINCE ARTHUR TO
Be IRISH WCEROY
Almost Certain of Post When
the Home Rule Bill Be-
comes Law.
PASSAGE OF MEASURE
LIKELY TO BE DELAYED

LONDON, February %. 1914.
1t is almost definitely decided that
Prince Arthur of Connaught is to be the
first home rule viceroy of Ireland. There
was some talk Of his succeeding his IA
Their. the Duke of Connaught, as Gov
ernor General Of Canada, but this will
not now take place, unless the unionists
are successful in preventing the govern
ment from establishing parliament in
ireland.
Like all members of the Connaught
family. Prince Arthur is extremely pop
uiar, and besides it is considered that he
would make an able and responsible vice
roy, while his nearness to the throne and
his personal intimacy with the king
would have a great effect in soothing
unionist susceptibilities In Ireland 1t
would be difficult for Irish society to
boycott viceregal court held by the
first cousin and the niece of the sover-
eign, especially after the latter had Wis.,
tied Dublin in person to open the first
Irish parliament, which he will do II that
parliament is ever SUMMONED.
There is q little prospect, however, Of
the home rule bill becoming law early
the coming summer, as nationalists and
liberals have often declared would be the
ecse. 1t is now predicted that Ireland's
Fight for self-government will not be over
