That is true, because they are restrained by good taste and the fitness of things. But if they chose to cast off such restraint and send their Bishops or even their Cardinals to the Senate the constitution imposes no bar. So it is complimentary to the other religious bodiu; that they are content to keep their hierarchy, when they have one, out of politics, out of Congress, out | of political office. The best way to make the Mor- | mons feel the same way is by promoting good sense | d good taste among them.

The almost inevitable corollary to 1 proposition is that we will soon hear that sev- cral prominent German statesmen are being prose- | cuted for talking too much.

HE press has made but little comment upon the Tresolution introduced in the Lower House of Congress by the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, directing inquiry into the policy and feas- ibility of expropriation of all coal mines by the Gov- ernment, to be worked by the Government, which would then absorb to itself the business of mining and selling coal. Perhaps the lack of notice of this extraordinary proposition is due to the general feeling that it pro- poses a chimera. Be that as it may, it has not es- caped public attention that when force interposed to prevent the use of the anthracite mines by their own- | ers the remedies suggested were entirely socialistic in their nature. President John Mitchell said in his letter to the President: “They (the mine owners) could not work their property without our consent.” Here, then, was an interruption in the use of prop- erty, a force interposed between the owners and thei property, with which they could not cope. Socialism said at once, “Let the State seize the property an operate it, for the owner has forfeited it by non- user. Those who do not take the trouble to look below the apparent surface of things approved this plan, public use, coal being one of the necessaries of life.” But suppose the doctrine of eXpropriation of such property when force prevents its use shall prevail, what will have been established? Simply that all | property affected by a public use is liable under the same circumstances to expropriation. Now property that produces food and clothing is as much affected by a public use as property that produces fuel, and the plan of socialism is much simplified when it be- only to prevent by force the use of such property. An examination of the case as then presented dis- closes the fact that if the resolution offered in the House be acted on favorably, and Congress accept ! the doctrine that jurisdiction to expropriate arises whenever violence suspends the use of private prop- erty affected by a public use, then there is no pro- ductive private property left in the country, for force can suspend the use of it all, and that force would be forthcoming. Playing with fire amuses children, but frequently to their fatal injury. This resolution is playing with fire by grown men. The policy it foreshadows is the dream of extreme socialism, meaning a time when |a man may not even invest his wages in anything productive of profit, and the Government will be the | only owner of all production. This is the extinction of private capitalvand pri- | vate commercial enterprise entirely and the creation of a condition in which every' man will get only the wages of his labor, but will not be permitted to invest the surplus, if any, for that is capitalism. He may consume his wag produce with. He may produce for himself, but not to sell, for that would bring him in competition with the Government, the sole capitalist and only pro- d ucer for the market. It is evident that the proponents of socialistic ¢ apostle was elected he was introduced to | remedies for a coal famine caused by interruption of | an industry, and its suspension by violence, dur- ing the months when the product should be stored for winter use, have not studied with care the field upon which they propose the country shall enter. Prosperity has attended individual ownership and enterprise. Under the wage system American labor has been frce to go forward, by thrift, economy and temperance, until we have more rich men who be- gan as wage-earners than any other country, and more wage-earners every year passing into conditions of independence. What the property of the country affected by pub- lic use needs is the enforcement of the laws intended to protect it, and not the exemption of any class from | the civil and criminal statutes which enforce public order and personal responsibility for its violation. Well-to-do people in London are enjoying the coldest winter for many years. They are really en- joying it, for the Thames is frozen over at Richmond and the merry folks are having great skating. ——— RHODES’ SCHOLARSHIPS. P Rhode Island and Connecticut have had a con- ference with Dr. Parkin, the traveling repre- sentative of the Rhodes scholarship fund, for the ROMINENT educators of Massachusetts, purpose of devising ways and means of selecting | candidates for the scholarships from those States. Upward of thirty persons were presept and the dis- cussion was long and keen. The only conclusion was an agreement to disagree and leave the disputed points to the determination of a committee in each State. The issue over which the chief disagreements arose was that of the qualification of candidates, were in favor of conferring the scholarships upon graduates of high schools so that they would enter’ Oxford at the beginning of their college career. second set advocated limiting the scholarships to the students of universities, while a third set went further still and proposed that candidates be selected from among the graduates of universities. On behali of the high school graduates it was argued that it was clearly the intention of Rhodes that the scholarships should go to young men at the beginning of their career, so that they might be trained at Oxford during the impressionable years of youth. President Eliot of Harvard was among those who took that view of the question. The point, however, was not decided by the conference, but was left to the determination of committees appointed to act for the several States. “The committees representing the States made separate reports, which were essentially the same. Massachusetts recommended that the selection of the candidates from that State be left to a committee of five, of whom the president of Harvard should be one, the others to be two university men and two representatives of the public schools. Connecticut also favored a committee of five for that State with the president of Yale at the head, the others to be two university men and two schoolmasters. Rhode Island recommended a committee of seven with the president of Brown at the head, to be composed of three representatives of the university and three of the secondary schocls. Of course all candidates for the scholarships will have to possess the qualifications set forth in the will of the founder, but it appears that unless the trustees of the fund make some general rule as to age and attainments, there may be a wide divergence among those who go to Oxford from this country. If one State sends youths fresh from the high schools and others send university graduates, it will be difficult to develop among them that spirit of brotherhood that Rhodes aimed at. Doubtless an agreement on the subject will be reached somehow, s, but must not use them to | One set” A but the inability of the conference of the three New England States to harmonize on that point seems to show that the question is going to be a difficult one to settle. — Some of the worthy gentlemen who are now making laws for us at Sacramento secem to be inspired by a spirit of maliciousness or they have not yet attained the age of reason.

HILE the agitation for protection which W was so tife in Great Britain during the Boer war has ceased to be a feature of the daily | news, it has by no means been abandoned. We do | not hear quite so much of it as we did when the Ministry was devising ways and means for increas- ing the revenues to meet the war expenditures, but | none the less the British themselves continue to give | more or less attention to it, and every now and then ome man of eminence presents a new argument | against free trade and renews the ‘warning that the | British must either adopt some system of protection or see their industries decay. 3 | . The latest declaration of any note on the subject is that of Sir William Preece, president of the British | Institution of Civil Engineering. In a recent address | he declared that British trade is steadily declin- ;ing and that the decline is due to free trade. He is ' quoted as saying that American success is due to the | fact that Americans have not only a political but a commercial and an industrial patriotism. He went on to say: “America for the Americans is their motto, and they exclude every other industry but their own | by great protective tariffs. They have thus a great | home market—virtually a monopoly—behind them, which is a grand guarantee for the capital required to maintain their active competition in other countries. | There is no such motto as ‘Great Britain for the ;Britons.’ Here we are loyal to everybody but a }Bri(on. Our industries not only receive no protec- | tion, but they are retarded by internal restrictions of the worst character, and our manufacturers are handicapped in every direction.” Developing his theory, Sir William explained that the prosperity which in Great Britain followed the adoption of the free trade system.was due not to free | trade’itself but to the immense development of steam rpower which occurred coincidently. The politicians :who adopted free trade legislation proudly asserted that all the benefits of the time were due solely to their legislation and gave no credit whatever to what | the scientists and the inventors were doing to increase industrial power and augment the facilities of com- | merce. Other nations, however, shared in the benefits of invention and discovery, and as they held to their protective system the world had a chance to see which of the two is the better. The result is that protected nations are growing stronger while British trade is languishing. A curious effect of the free trade policy is that the railways of the country have found it advantageous to favor foreign trade rather than local trade. Home rates are said to be placed excessively high in order | that preferential rates may be given to imported goods. The reason is that the roads are sure of the local freights, which have no other line to ship by, but good terms have to be offered to foreign shippers who can deliver their goods either at Glasgow, Liver- pool or Southampton. To bring foreign goods to these ports the railways have to give preferential rates from the port to London or to the interior. In commenting on that phase of the subject, Sir William is reported to have said: “I know of a case within my own experience where a contract went to America because the freight from one of our Lanca- shire towns was 23 shillings per ton, while from Philadelphia it 'was only 16 shillings and sixpence. The class which is benefited by our strange fiscal policy is the foreign producer.who, supported by his own strong home market, competes with English manufacturers in their markets on unfair and unequal terms.” From these statements of the results of free trade in Great Britain it is easy to draw conclusions of what would be the effect of free trade in this coun- try. Protection in fact is having its value demon- enforced, but by the failure which has attended free trade wherever and whenever it has been tried. Tt will of course be a long time before Great Britain can shift her policy, but it would seem that in the end she must either do so or cease to be a great manu- facturing country. A BAD MUDDLE. .EPORTS from Washington show something R like a very bad muddle in the Senate. Quay is making an aggressive fight for his statehood bill, and Cullom insists that the reciprocity treaty with Cuba shall be ratified no matter what else is neglected. Quay has moved to attach the statchood bill to sev- eral appropriation bills so as to force the Senate to | take a vote on it, and Cullom is reported as threat- ening that if the reciprocity treaty be not acted upon before the time comes for adjournment there will be an extra session. A resolute minority is fighting each measure. The opposition to the statehood bill has long ago frankiy declared an intention of talking it to death. The opposition to the reciprocity treaty has not gone so far, and it is even probable that if it came to a vote the friends of the measure have not a sufficient strength to ratify it. Still they are boasting of their power. A recent report from Washington said: “There is some difference of opinion as to the prob- ablgfate of the Cuban treaty, in spite of the strength | of the British commercial opposition, which is prov- :ing clearly that it would be a great bargain for the ‘United States. Few persons have any doubt of its | success if it reaches a rollcall, but that the influences ‘in latent opposition may make use of delay to pre- vent any action is not improbable. Were there no threat of an extra session, so that failure to secure | action at this Congress would end the attempt, the prospects would be indeed poor. * * * Senator Cullom, chairman of the Foreign Relations Commit- tee, however, reflects the prevailing sentiment of the Republican leadership when he predicts that the three treaties, Cuban, Panama and Alaskan, will be ratified, at this session.” While efforts have been made to force a support of the reciprocity treaty by all’ Republicans on the ground that it is an administration measure, there is no reason to regard that bill any more than the state- hood bill as a partisan one. In fact, the demoraliza- tion of the Pemocratic party has virtually demoral- ized party politics at Washington. In the Senate party lines have been rarely drawn during the ses- sion. Certainly they have not been drawn on either the treaty or the statehood bill. That is the reason thete is so much doubt concerning the result. Non- partisan politics has some advantages, but it has also its defects. strated not only by the suceess attained where it is | GOSSIP FROM LONDON WORLD OF LETTERS The' new books of the past week do not make a very imposing show. In fact, the cnly one of importance has been “Mr. Lcoley's Observations.” Some time ago I mentioned the proba- bility of the revival of the old “yellow | back” as something that is much required between the 6 shilling novel and the six- penny reprint. I now learn that Messrs. | Treherne are about to start the issue of two shilling novels. Not all in the prelim- irary batch will be néw books, but they will suffice to show if the public is really | in earnest about the revival of that cheap | ictlon which the inauguration of the 6 6 shilling novel some years ago drove from the book shops. Lord Kilmarnock, who is in the diplo- | matic service, has written a novel, which Will appear*soon. Messrs. Hutchison an- nounce ‘it under the title of “Ferelith,” and say that part of the story is laid in Scotland. This is natural enough, for Lord Kilmarnock is the eldest son and Leir of the Earl of Errol, hereditary High | Constable of Scotland, whose family seat is Slains Castle, which Dr. Johnson and Boswell visited when they made thelr famous tour in the north. Mrs. Craigie, who is still in Indla, has written a good part of a novel which she entitles “The Vineyard.” It'is a story of | life in a modern provincial town.

H. G. Welis is by no means | alone. Another book, entitled *“The Thew: ¢f England,” by Patrick Vaux, which will tell the story of an imaginary naval war in the near future between Great Britain and the combined «ontinental powers, is published by Heinemann.
