He says: there has been of late years, during the present reaction, an increase of pressure upon va- rious Christian organizations outside the established has been undeniably from political rather sifying process, which is at present the temporary fashion.” The work of Russification is being carried on re- througt all parts of the empire where any considerable element of non-Russian Thus Mr. White says the process “involves i measures as increasing pressure upon Polnd, increasing interierence with the Baltic provinces and the German colonies, in the talk of constitutional nges in Finland, in the substitution of Russian for German names of various western towns, in the teadily increasing provisions for strengthening the orthodox Russian church against all other religious organizations, in the outcry made by various papers such propoSals as that for transferring the university at Dorpat into the Muscovite regions of the interior, for changing the name of St. Peters- burg, and every sort of Russifying process which the most imaginative can devise.” It was the beliei of Mr. White that the desire for tussification was but a reaction against foreigners znd alien races caused by indignation at the assassi- mation of Alexander 11, and that it would soon pass In that estimate he was mistaken. The Russification of Finland, which was only talked of when Mr. White made his report, has since been ac- complished with a degree of harshness that has driven a large percentage of the Finns to seek homes in other parts of the world in order to escape Rus- sian despotism. Moreover, as we have seen, it has led to the commission of outrages upon the Jews fully as severe as any ever committed in the bar- barous past. Russification, indeed, appears to grow by what it feeds on, and one barbarity impels to an- other. It is not possible for human intelligence to foresee the outcome, but it looks as if the Russians would persist in their madness until they render themselves enemies of the whole human race out- side the Muscovite breed. lentlessly there in favor of away says they are the result “of organ- | to keep down any troublesome re- | individuals in parts of Russia where | an the Jews have ever ventured to do; | it has been part of the Rus- | THE AUSTRALIAN REACTION. EPORTS from Australia concerning the fail- ‘R ure of the recent strike of the railway em- ployés are to the effect that there has set in among the people of that country, and especially among those of Victoria, a reaction against the domination of labor unions that threatens to weaken them for years to come. In fact, it is not unlikely | that laws may be enacted against some of the more aggressive labor movements fully as drastic as those | which not long ago were enacted in their favor. The recent strike was occasioned by an effort of the Government to reduce the expenses of operating the railways, all of which are under governmental | control .. The reduction rendered necessary partly by_the depression in business resulting from the prolonged drought, and partly by the wasteful | manner in which the roads had been operated during | the prevalence of good times. For the purpose of satisfying various constituencies the Government had constructed a good many lines which were unprofit- able from the start, They were, in fact, constructed | for political purposes, in much the same way that a good, many river and harbor improvements are voted by Congress in this country. The operation of such lines constituted a serious handicap on the whole railway system, but the evil was aggravated by the demand of the employes of all the roads for higher pay and shorter hours. Then, too, the roads were in many cases overmanned by reason of the eagerness of politicians to get employment for their followers, so that on the whole the system was in a bad way, and when the depression came it was im- perative that something be done in the direction of economy. When the first steps were made toward a reduction was opposition. As they were thoroughly organized they constituted a formidable antagonist, and sgon made For a time they held the Govern- their power felt. ent at bay by reason of their voting strength and {their influence with members of Parliament. When | that opposition was beaten down by the pressure of the Government they struck, and very form of nearly the entire railway system of Victoria was tied The situation speedily became intolerable, and | public opinion was strongly against the strikers | Farmers, merchants, business men every kind, | united in condemning a strike that put a stop to all c and travel, and as a consequence thq strikers | up of | s1elded Gratified with their victory, the Government at once entered upon the tiask of making it complete and guarding against similar dangers in the future. A special session of the Victorian Parliament called for the purpose of considering the strike situ- ation.- A bill was introduced by the Ministry pro- hibiting strikes on the state railways under heav was lpenallmi of fine and imprisonment and the loss of | right to future pensions. The bill also makes it un- | lawful for the strikers to picket the roads or in any | other way interfere with their operation, and the po- | lice are authorized to disperse strike meetings and | suppress the publication of strike literature. < | A bill qf that kind-amounts virtually to a revolu- | tion, for in recent years the labor unions have been with a high hand.

A verse from one of these songs pur- | porting to represent the sentiments of a workingman [and a labor unionist runs thus: ' | themselves labor | If these Rules and Regulations had been drawn up by the men, Or been drawn up by the bosses, ‘twere another matter then! But the whole confounded bundle, big and little, large and small, Have been drafted by the scalawags who never work at all! Now, a workman knows his workmanship, a tradesman knows his trade, And by those who WORK properly be made! But it's those who never work that make sthese rotten laws, vou know, And the Labor Cause is busted Since the Spouters Ran the Show! From this extreme reaction there will of course come another reaction later on and the more drastic features of the new laws will be abolished. In the meantime the situation conveys a good lesson to | both labor and capital and attests the fact that in a | free country it is public sentiment that rules. When that is once aroused opposition must give way. the laws of work should It is strange that when Fire Commissioner Parry was striving to sell a colt that belonged to the Fire Departmen: he never reflected that in the event of success he would find himself with a white elephant of explanation on his hands. | NEW ENGLAND FOREST FIRES. [ OSTON papers giving details of the forest B fires ravaging nearly all parts of New Eng- land show that the extent of the destruction | and the aggregate of losses are far greater than ap- | pears from the brief reports of the telegraphic dis- ‘pa!ches. New England has been without rain in | some localities for as long as fiity days. The drought has been accompanied by a degree of heat unusual this early in the summer. The fields are parched, the forest floors are covered with leaves and brush as dry as tinder. The slightest spark is sufficient to start a fire, and once started the flames soon run beyond human control, so that in district after dis- trict not only the woods but farmhouses and some- times villages are destroyed. Describing the condition in the neighborhood of | that city the Boston Globe recently said: “The whole of New England is in grave danger from for- !est fires. One is raging on Cape Cod, and there are | several more under way. One in Lynnfield last night called out the Wakefield, Saugus and Lynnfield Fire departments. Wakefield, Reading, Malden, Melrose, Cambridge, Brookline—even downtown Boston—were full of eddying smoke early in the evening, and as the wind dropped dead the smoke grew always thicker. The wind was south in the early part of the morning, and brought some of the Cape Cod fire smoke to the city. It hauled during the day and changed the smoke of Cape Cod for that of the West Gloucester -fire, which has been burning three days, and for the Lynnfield fire, which broke out last night. This fire was one of the most serious that has been reported as a woodland fire. At midnight nearly 400 acres of woodland were blaz- ing between Reading and Wakefield, and the flames were spreading in several directions. The smoke was dense from this fire as far east as Salem and Beverly.” | | The country around Boston for a hundred miles or Amore is thickly settled. Woods are not extensive S of operating expenses the employes made a vigorous | SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, !and the means of fighting fire are large. Therefore if in that region the forest fires are so widespread and are raging so fiercely, we can imagine what they must be in the remoter parts of New England, where there is a fuller sweep for the flames. New | England, in fact, is getting a dread lesson on the { folly of neglecting to provide a comprehensive sys- | tem of forest protection, but if the people be wise | enough to profit by it the losses of the year will not have been suffered in vain. Sooner or later, in- deed, the whole United States must grapple in ear- nest with the probiem. * Just now it is the turn of New England to furnish the object lesson, but no | North and South and East'and West will go up in | smoke unless man’s wisdom devises some means of | guarding against man’s carélessne ——————————e It is said that Gates, the great gambler and specu- lative capitalist, has cornered July corn.

It gives an elaborate review of ‘the government and the in- dustries of the republic, and furnishes abundant evi- dence of the excellence of the administration and the general prosperity of the people. 3 The statistics relating to public instruction and to industry are especially interesting. During the year there were open in the island 3330 primary schools, employing 3500 teachers, of whom 1500 were men and 2000 women. Nearly the whole teaching force is white, the number of colored teachers being less than 150. The schools had a total enrollment of very nearly 175000.

That the number of students of arts should be larger than the number of students at the universi the industrial institute, shows the native talent and bias of the race.

The Post states that the Secretary of Agriculture is ‘glad to see American fruit companies and individual settlers from the United States are investing largely in the banana business, cocoanut plantations, pineapple culture, orange growing and in the production of vegetables of all kinds for the northern markets, setting a good example to natives of small capital and others willing to abandon the history routine in production.

Special inducements are offered to persons or corporations to exploit the mineral resources of the islagd, which are supposed to be considerable. In short, Cuba appears to have been blessed with notably efficient and progressive government to start with. All the ordinary affairs of administration seem to have been well attended to, and in addition much has been accomplished in the way of internal im- provements. Strict economy has been enforced, and, despite the large amount of work done, the treasury meets the"new year with a handsome surplus. In fact, the showing made sSoy elaborately in the Post augments the good impression produced by the re- ports telegraphed at the time the anniversary was celebrated. Efforts are now being made to secure for Califor- nia a collective exhibit in a State building at the St. Louis Exposition, even if our structure must be erected outside the big fair grounds. It will make. little difference where the State show may be as long as visitors can find it. When they see it the claims of California to supremacy in most of the good things of the earth will be justified. et oL Thus far we have noted no particular congratula- tions taken by Democrats out of the proceedings of the Republican State Convention of Ohio. It is not likely that because our Democratic friends have nothing to say that they are silent, but because they know that if they say anything they will simply make clearer the hopelessness of their national prospect next year.
