HE address of Bishop Potter before the Church T ssociation for Advancement of the Interests of Labor was a notable effort and should be circu- ed for the 'study of all who are interested in the problem. He keenly analyzed the many changes t have come over the modern world, and espe- over American life. Bellamy, Gronlund and refor: s of that school have greatly succeeded eating a distaste for work. They have especially her er in held up the home and héusekeeping arts as degrading drudgery and have imagined all sorts of schemes of ic nature to take the place of that charm- hospitable housewifery which the Bishop re- h so much pleasure. distaste for housek lled w As this ganized eeping has not yet or- vy of the lazy plans framed by the reform- e on canned goods and food prepared houses. Public opinion has much to do ‘ormerly when a young couple married if they did rot begin at once to build a home and to keep house within it as their castle public opinion regarded them with surprise’ and ~ assumed toward them an attitude of criticism. Now it is quite differ- ent, especially in our cities. People marry at the parsonage or rectory, live at a boarding-house, die in the hospital and are buried from the undertaking par- lors. They plant and tend no flower or vine, and hal- low no home to their children. All this is done to avoid those domestic cares and duties which, assumed with zeal and discharged with with it. patience, go into the warp and woof of manly and | womanly character to be its strength and beauty. Children reared in this avoidance of home-making and housekeeping, who play in the halls of a hotel or boarding-house, and have no home shrine nor hiding-place for their childish treasures, are them- selves totally unfitted to make a home, and, worse yet, are materially unfitted for the most important and necessary duties of life. The effect threatens the’ state itself, inasmuch as the state is founded upon the homes of the people. If the people keep no homes, the state comes to be founded on a boarding-house, and on dyspepsia and the diseases of idleness. Bishop Potter put forward very powerfully the necessity for right understanding and sympathy be- tween employer and employe. These once existed in this country, and began to disappear when the class idea was imported from other countries. The great manufacturing business of New England was founded and flourished by the employment of native labor, The New England mill girl was the queen of her time. She went out from a New England home, was known to and respected by her employer, and earned her share of what was needed to found another home like that of her parents. The change came when she was displaced by immigrant labor. The tie of a com- mon nativity was sundered and friendly sympathy went with it. The industrial demands of the country outran our power of assimilation, and instead of the class distinctions and exclusive ideas disappearing in the contact, they subordinated to them the relations, the ideas and the ideals that they found here, and for a quarter of a century or more labor has been taught an antagonism to its employer which the em- ployer has been compelled to accept as a fact at first, and finally to act upon to an extent that would have appalied our grandfathers. After all, is it not true that part of this offensive feature is derived from the homeless lives of the peo- ple? When employer and employe both live in fixed homes their life experiences have sympathetic con- tact in that relation. It was a profound economic saying that put forward the Jittle child as the leader, like whom all should be. Fatherhood and mother- hood know no condition of life. They are ‘the com- mon experience and the teacher of all in wisdom. Tzken on in a home, fixed, permanent and definite, they are the common tie between all kinds and con- ditions of men, and when that tie is felt the thrill of human sympathy passes through it, like the power gjving current through the electric wire. We believe that the Church Association for Ad- vancement of the Interests of Labor has in mind this one, great, common and persistent tie between nen, and following out that philosophy it may hope 10’ reform conditions and to regenerate individuals, mak- ing the whole social stzte to change to the older and better model without socialism, and to bring men to a sense of their common interests munism. without ecom- A BILL OF PARTICULARS. N the Examiner’s last Jack Cade manifesto, in l which everybody is warned not to touch it, for it is the American people, those who oppose it dre ‘specifically described as criminals whose schemes of plunder it has thwarted, and who have in contem- plation crimes like those for which men have been sent to jail. This makes necessary a bill of particulars. The Hearst papers have been attacked and condemned by President Eliot of Harvard and by Cardi.nal Gibbon. What nefarious scheme of plunder had they on hand, and how was it thwarted by the Examiner? Cham- bers of Commerce, ccmmercial bodies, social clubs and secret and beneficial societies, all over the coun- try, have attacked and condemned the Hearst papers. In what plundering scheme were they thwarted by those newspapers? Let us have the particulars. If college presidents and Cardinals, and a majority of the social and commercial organizations of this coun- try, are contemplating plunder and crime and bite their thumbs at the Hearst papers because they alone prevent the success of these distinguished criminals, it is surely an alarming state of affairs, and the anarch of the dailies should let us know all about it. Bishop Potter and Father Doyle the Paulist, Dr. Hillis of Beecher’s' church, Dr. Savage of the Uni- “tarian Church of the Messiah, ‘Archbishop Riordan and President Jordan, Rev: Robert Mackenzie and Gavin McNab, President Wheeler, Rev. William Rader and Mr. Lindsay, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, are among those who attack and condemn the Hearst papers, and the Examiner says they do it because those newspapers prevent them “from carrying out plans as criminal as any that have sent men to jail.” This is alarming, if true. The Examiner boasts that it is the defenider of the people, and has the courage of its convictions. Why not draw on its stock of courage and its knowledge of the criminal schemes of these gentlemen and let the public know the extent of their criminal plans, which it stays awake to thwart, overthrow and defeat? Among the newspapers which have attacked and condemned Hearst’s yellow papers are those leading Democratic papers, the Brooklyn Eagle, Detroit Free Press, Philadelphia Times, Washington Times, New Orleans Times-Democrat, Chicago Chronicle, Louisville Courier-Journal, Sacramento Bee and Colusa Sun. In what scheme of crime have they been thwarted by this champion thwarter? It will be very interesting to know what crime Colonel Henry Watterson intended to com- mit when Hearst caught him at it and promptly threw | out his thwarter and thwarted him. Colonel Watter- {son travels a good deal and may try to work his | scheme of plunder and criminal plan when Hearst is | not looking, so it is quite necessary that the Ameri- | can people shall be put on to Colonel Watterson's criminal combination in order that they may turn in the fire alarm and thwart him before he can work it. Mr. Hearst should abandon his attitude of gen- | eralities and inform the public fully about these things. | The American people, of whom the Examiner | kindly but firmly takes charge, are sending their chil- {dren to Yale and Harvard, and Stanford and | Berkeley, and to Rutgers and the Cooper Union, and | the other hundred institutions of learning which have |condemned Hearst and thrown his papers into the ldilch. Ii the children of the people are being sent | to institutions which would commit such crimes as }wnd men to jail if Hearst should turn his back, it should be known at once, and Hearst should publish a ground plan and front elevation of the crimes these colleges and universities would commit if he gave them the chance. In a play that is popular are three characters called Colonels Yell, Brag and Blow. The names are very applicable to Hearst's three newspapers, for by yell, | popular indignation which has swept them out of all | réspectable places in the United States. KITCHENER'S PROCLAMATION. K ITCHENER'S ;mdamation warning the Boer leaders that if they did not surrender before effect in Great Britain than in the Transvaal. - The Boers have paid little attention to it, but the British themselves have been warmly discussing it and con- demning it. jon the part of Kitchener an assumption of power which he does not possess, and that neither he nor the ‘firitish Ministry can legally enforce such a punish- ment unless given autherity by the Legislature. Mr. Asquith, one of the foremost of the Liberal leaders, recently said: “It is a total mistake to sup- pose that the proclamation has the force of law; no Minister -in this country has- the power by putting on a piece of paper the sentence of banishment . to make that sentence effective against any part of his Majesty's subjects. What the proclamation really z2mounts to is this, and in this respect it corresponds, I think, to a large extent with what was done at the ¢nd of the Franco-German war with regard to the in- habitants of Alsace. The proclamation says to these people: You must make your choice. If by the date fixed you surrender, well and good; if you do not, we warn you that local legislation will be initiated for the purpose of doing what was done to the inhabi- | tants of Alsace who did not choose to come in under the proclamation on terms, banishing you from the territory.” Mr. Asquith went on to say that he did not believe the Commons of Great Britain would ever consent to an assumption on the part of the Government that any part of the empire any British subject, and that | before the warning given by the proclamation can be put into effect there will have to be local legi¢lation, | which at every stage can be discussed, and which even when enacted- will be at all times subject to amend- ment, revision and repeal. The statement of Mr. Asquith has been regarded as such a clear presentation of the law of the empire that even some members of the Ministry have ad- mitted its truth. The Westminster Gazette says that the question of the legality of the proclamation is even more important than the question of its ex- pediency, and‘adds: “If we accept this gazetted no- tice as good law, the Russian method of banishment by administrative order will henceforth bé a weapon of the British executive, and thus under the supposeq with the most cherished safeguards of our tolerant and unaggressive empire.” X While the British lawyers and Liberals are thys discussing the proclamation from”a legal standpoint, all questions as to its expediency seem to have been answered by the event. The proclamation hag not brought a single Boer leader to surrender. It hag served only to deepen.their hostility to the British liberal; brag and blow they hdpe to weather the storm of | September 15 they would when captured be | sent into permanent exile appears to have had more | It is claimed that the threat of exile is | it had a right by paper proclamation to banish from | stress of military necessity we shall part one by one- and to strengthen their resolve to fight to the last. It is to be borne in mind always that even after the con- quest of the Transvaal the British will not own all of South Airica, and accordingly, when resistance in | the field is no longer possible the valiant Boers will have only to cross over the border into German or Portuguese territory to find safety and repose. Evi- dently, therefore, the British are to gain nothing by the proclamation, and its publication seems to have been one of the worst blunders they have made dur- ing the war. F gains are to be expected from further explora- tions of the polar regions four scientists of Bos- ton have contributed articles to a recent number of the Boston Globe. The writers are: H. Helm Clay- ton, president of the Boston Scientific Society; Rob- ert D. Ward, assistant professor of “ciimatology at Harvard; David P. Tod, professor of astronomy at Ambherst, and J. W. Smith of the Weather Bureau. These men are certainly competent to pronounce upon the profitableness of such explorations, and each and all of them maintain that mankind will be well repaid for whatever energy is expended in reach- ing not ounly the north pole but the south pole as well, Mr. Clayton says: “The observations in the polar regions in the past have borne fruit in many ways. The observations on terrestrial magnetism have en- abled scientific men to make progress in working out the laws which govern the movements of the mag- netic pole and the changes in magnetism which affect the compass of every ship that plows the deep. Polar observaticns are enabling men to compare and test the theories about the origin of weather changes and are thus aiding toward the determination of the true laws of stcrm and cold waves, which knowledge may in time be worth millions of dollars to the.world.” He concludes by the declaration that in his opinion the United States will gain more by polar exploration | than by annexing the Philippines, and Great Britain more than by conquering the Transvaal. Professor Ward goes over virtually the same | ground as that traversed by Mr. Clayton and says: “The more we can lcarn of Arctic and Antarctic meteorology the better will be our understanding of the great laws that control atmospheric movements, thus influencing weather and climate and affecting man’s activities and mode of life. Many problems await for their complete solution the data which pres- | ent and future polar explorations will supply. * * * | To the question, ‘Will polar exploration give meteor- ology any facts which will be of immediate practical value to man?' the answer must be no. But that all of the data thus gained will help the advancement of science and will thus in the end be of practical bene- fit to mankind there can be no question.” Professor Tod says that in addition to the benefits to be expected in the way of geographical exploration and scientific research there will be commercial profit from the polar voyages. He says: “I have never met et v . POLAR EXPLORATIONS. OR the purpose of explaining to the public what iany one not ignorant of the facts of polar exploration | who could argue against it. Consider the standpoint | of commerce alone—for the past two centuries the vield of Arctic products has exceeded an average of $5,000,000 annually, and the available wealth of these ‘superficially known lands is by no means exhausted.” | Mr. Smith agrees that the commercial benefits to | be derived from a complete exploration of the poles | are not slight, and that they will go far to repay all the outlay that such explorations cost, but he also holds that the advancement of science must be the chief re- ward. He recalls the fact that the earlier voyages to | the frozen seas were designed solely for material profit, and quotes the saying of Milton: “They might have seemed almost heroic if any higher end than | excessive love for gain and traffic had animated the | design.” It will be seen, therefore, that those who best un- derstand the subject do not regard polar exploration as a mere adventure carried out in the name of science, but as a genuine working for a definite and | useful end. It is safe to say that whatever view the public may take of the matter the explorations will be carried on until men have reached both the poles and have accurately mapped their lands and deter- mined the nature of their atmospheric phenomena. AN ANARCHIST COLONY. F all the plans which have been suggested for O dealing with anarchists who are too good to hang but too bad to be tolerated in civilized society perhaps the best is one which has been pro- posed in Belgium, and which it is said the Belgian Government will endeavor to have adopted by inter- national agreement. The plan is nothing more nor less than the establishment of an international penal colony on some uninhabited group of islands in the Pacific, to which the nations shall be bound to de- port all anarchists now living within their borders. The man who devised the scheme seems to have worked it out in every detail except the selection of the islands. That he left to international diplomacy. For the rest he proposes that one island or group of islands shall be set apart for male anarchists and an- other for females, and that the separation between the two shall be kept strictly enforced, so that there will be no breeding of anarchists. He figures out that pro- vision will have to be made for not more than 10,000 persons, as that is about the number of “reds” now wandering about the world outside of Russia. For some reason not set forth in the report-that comes to us Russia is not to be asked to join in the plan., Her Government is to be left to deal with her anarchists in its own way. A dispatch from Brussels to the New York Herald says the plan is to be seriously made a part of diplo- matic discussion during the coming winter. There is something of radical common sense in the plan that renders its adoption very improbable. In fact, most diplomatists would probably laugh at it if it were permissible for a diplomatist to laugh at anything. At present Austria, Germany, France, Italy and Spain have to keep a considerable police force watching an- archists all the time, and even in Great Britain and the United States there is much police supervision necessary. Each Government fecls relieved when some particularly dangerous anarchist removes his residence to some other country. In fact, nations have repeatedly warned such anarchists to leave their boundaries, thus forcing an evil upon a ‘neighbor na- tion instead of crushing it. X " It would be more reighborly as well as cheaper in the long run to accept the Belgian idea and establisl the international colony. It ought not to be dis- agreeable to anarchists, for it would give them an igland in which they could live in lawless freedom. It would save them from the trouble of conspiring to kill anybody, while permitting them the amplest lib- erty of speech. Altogether the subject is well worth the attention of diplomatists, and it is to be hoped the Belgians will really press it upon their considera- ‘thl'l. . | A PEER OF ENGLAND DELIGHTS IN DESIGNING AND MAKING CLOCK§ —— ' g PORTRAIT OF LORD GRIMTHORPE, OLDEST KING'S CO MAKING OF CLOCKS; A SKULL WATCH OF HIS CREATION; “LIGHTING .

The bookplate craze is increasing every day, and now every smart woman is proud to be the possessor of this adjumet to her library. Talking of books, nobody is so fond of them or takes greater care of them than Lady Feo Stuart, who is just now in Rus- sia. She perfsctly revels in books and pays very large sums for them and then | has them exquisitely bound. I have just seen Goupll's edition of the Louvre in six volumes, which she has had bound in a lovely shade of old French red leather, most beautifully tooled. Every volume is lined with white watered silk. Sir David Salomons is also very fond of }moks and pays large sums for their bind- ng. But, after all, nobody spends so much money on bookbinding as the Americans, at least so the English firms tell me. It is said that Rudyard Kipling's “Kim,"” published this week in book form after having run serially in Cassell's Magazine, cost him more work than any of his pre- vious books. Some sections were rewrit- ten a dozen times, and when changed were perhaps cut out altogether. The book was begun more than eight years ago. The journeys of Kim and his lama reproduce many of the same travels of the author, especially the description of the journey toward the land of Thibet. The end of the book also, it is under- stood, is taken from actual experience. “The Benefactress,” by the author of “Elizabeth and Her German Garden,” which Messrs. Macmillan will publish be- | fore very long, is I believe a novel of German village life. It is_said by those who have read the manuscript to be full of the charm of the anonymous author's previous works. young English woman who has a fortune left her by a German relative. She takes up her property in Germany, and the story telis her experiences in that coun- try. I belleve it is also safe to say that the book will contaln more than a few biographical touches. Robert Hichens is to call his new novel “The Prophet of Berkeley Equare.’” a tragic extravaganza. The prophet is a young man who comes under the influ- ence of a great astronomer, Sir Tiglath Butt. This charletan and Malkiel the See- ond, a maker of wonderful almanacs, play conspicuous parts in the story, which tells of the trials and tribulations of the young man after he has consulted the Prophets, ‘With regard to what I sald a couple ¢f weeks ago about Mra.
