1 80 conservative a newspaper os the
Boston Herald deliberately declares
1 that the perils now facing the Atnerl
can people are of a more portentous
character thnu any that have con
fronted them or their ancestors, not
excepting those » ulm!nated In the war
of 1NMS
•The slavery issue/' aays the Her
ald. ‘‘was a terrible problem to meet
and overcome, Involving as It did the
danger of a dismemberment of the
Union. But even if the Union had bee
- dissolved, through a failure of the
North to effectively assert Its con
' structlon of constitutional powers, we
should itlll have had a great Republic
north of the Southern Confederacy,
nhd it Is not Improbable that under
such circumstance* events would havu
so shaped themselves ihat slavery
would have become Impossible In the
newly created federation of the South,
nnd that there would have been two
r'■publics subsisting nnd perhaps pros-
K ring vrh*re we have one; in other
words, while the slave Issue might
have rent the Union in twain, it could
not have destroyed, for at least the
larger pert of it, those principles snd
t radices upon which our government
was founded."
This utterance, which Is quite re-
markabls considering Its source. Is tol-
lawed toy a very serious discussion of
a new danger that Is "more to he
dreaded because of Its Insidious char
acter and general pervasiveness."
This new peril Is the aggrandisement
of Individual and corporate wealth to
•a degree unprecedented in this or any
other country. "The power In this
country possessed by centralised
wealth, In finance. In manufacture. In
commerce, In politics and In society,
if not a dominating force. Is fast up-
PTouching such a condition. Another
r» year# of unimpeded development
un.l the Industrie* -using that word In
• it* broi.p t «, use—and with these the
polltl* *»1 «'orurol of the country, will
j .fa small Trrottp of
IndlvMu.n'.* who, when they agree
rimona th'-mselvee as self-interest
will compel them to—will dictate.the
policies of state and national govern-
ments and the methods and develop-
1 <* nts of practically all Industrial en
terprise. The United States of Am
erica would continue to he a republic In
name. Just ns the republic of Rome
maintained Its name for centuries af
ter every vestige of free government
had been squeesed out of It by a long
auccesston of Imperial rulers."
As If this were not strong enough,
the Herald goes on. ‘‘citing three kinds
* f > , . ' named by the president In
hti message aa necessary to be shun
ned: "The greatest evils' that confront
this country are those which are rep-
. r **5»*nt r 'l by potent forces controlled
I i v < >>mmandjng personnlltlei
those who will fall down nnd worship
t •!•••*• ire offered the kingdoms of tha
, «irth and all that they contain;
; those who have leadership and power
nnd who oppose these forces, defeat
> and discredit are threatened. And
yet, unless In some 'way this battle
against concentrated wealth can be
ftnight and won.’ the future of our na
tton ta dark Indeed- The peace of In
Justice' would consist In making
frlenda with those represents
mammon of unrighteousness;
1 - ace of tyrannous terror* would
not daring to strike at these great and
growing evils; The peace of craven
weakness' would be In tolerating thee*
constantly augmenting abuses because
one feared that be did not possess the
requisite strength to combat them
aril foresaw greater comfort In easy
t Oration."
The dangers to be feared from this
•• concentration of wealth may or may
not be as great as the Herald believes.
However that may be, the fear of such
concentration of power la real
widespread. The faster tt grows tha
more tnslstent will be the demand for
government Interference.
When organa of conservative public
opinion begin to speak In this manner,
and when the president of the Unit*
States himself begins to talk of gov
eminent control of great corporate
it is suggested to tha mind of tha re
flecting observer that we are
preaching the parting of the ways be
tween the old, e!mp«e Jeffersonian plan
i t s> v« rnmant, and a hew, complex
t OC paternalistic social tom
remedy may be far to seek. It l
scarcely possible to turn back. But
we can at least atop and look about us.
THE C08T OF IT ALLI
We have no doubt but that thous
ands of little ones, practically all of
the chtldren In this community, snd
throughout the country, were made
happy by the Christmas gifts and the
good this that came their way, and
for which we may well be thankful;
but think of the cost of It all! Think
of the homicides, the blood, the misery
that this Christmas has brought!
Look over our news columns yester
day and today!
The vicious were rampant. The
forces of evil seem to have been ar
rayed. as It were, against the Joyous
ness of the Innocent. More and more,
It would seem, that the day originally
set apart as a religious festival Is
desecrated, and made an occasion of
criminal orgies. The popping of the
cannon crackers conceals the crack of
the pistol. The license to make a noise
clonks the report which hurls
deadly missile. The time will come
when society will have to protect It
self by suppressing the let to burn
powder on Christmas holidays, If not
to take some more radlcnl step. The
sabbath day Itself was not free from
the carnival of noise and crime.

APPRECIATIVE COMMENT,
Rome fttiitlfitlcs of Industrial prog
ress In the Southern states put to
gether by Mr. A. B. Farquahar. a man
ufacturer of York, Pa., ore agreeably
spiced with appreciative comment
upon distinctive Southern traits which,
according to this observer, havo not
been sacrificed to the demands of an
Industrial revolution. In other words,
civic and domestto virtue have sur
vived the absorbing chase of the dol
lar which Is so marked a feature of
latter-day Southern life.
"It ,Is Impossible," says Mr. Farqua
har, na quoted In the Manufacturers'
Record, "to become acquainted with
the Southern people without learning
to sympathise with their attachment
to high social Ideas, their family loy
alty, their cordial hospitality, the rev
erence they accord to the 'grand old
name of gentleman* and to *honor that
feels every stain like a wound.' and
more especially their chivalrous court
esy toward the ‘better hair of man
kind. If the South has bad much to
lenrn from the Nort'i In business
methods, In mechanic *! • outrlvsnee, In
wstchlng the market** i nd In all the
things that make for worldly success
Is everywhere ndm'tted—it may
no less fairly be admitted that there
hne always been something Important
to be learned on this side of the Mason
and Dixon line. What Is needed on
both sides Is fuller knowledge; that
we "shall know, even as we are
known.'"
Kven the old-fashioned Southerner
who scorns the chase of the dollar le
prepared by such comments to receive
with Interest and with favor the sta
tistics of Industrial achievement that
go with them. Kven the conservat've
old-timer will listen with a certain en
thusiasm to the statement that the
South*e / agricultural products, for ex
ample. were this year worth about
•1,700.000.000. against $771,000,000 In
1170. Manufactures have made a like
stride forward, the total value reported
by the census of 1000 being ll.BtO.OOO,-
000. against $478,000,000 In 1110. The
grand total of products, Including
products of mines, quarries and for

STONE ANIMAL WORSHIP.
Images That Stand For thu Buddhist
Idea of Reincarnation.
Francis L. Nldhole in his journey
through the Chinese provinces of
Shensi saw a temple where stone ani
mals were worshiped. He says: 'In
rows of heavily barred brick cages
are stone Images of animals. They are
all life size and are remarkably well
executed. Among them are elephants,
tigers and monkeys, whose sculptors
must have necured their models a long
distance from Shensi, where the origi
nals are not found. The stone ani
mals stand for the Buddhist Idea of
reincarnation. They axe worshipped
as sacred r.nd are supposed, in a vague
way, to be endowed with life. It Is to
prevent them from escaping and run
ning away from their worshipers that
the cages have wooden bars In front
of them. Between the two temples
was a pond, where fish were fonged or
set at liberty. In its workings the sys
tem of fonging animals has very much
the effect of a humane society on the
western side of the world. On the
theory tnat any of the brute creation
may be the dwelling place of the soul
of a former human being, lame and
sick nr I mala become the care of the
priests. In some of the larger tem
ples special provision Is made for car
ing for sick cats and dogs. To long
an arJmal of any kind la considered
an art of supreme virtue. To obtain
good luck a pious Chinaman will some-
timen puchase a live Ash and have a
priest fong It. This Is done by placing
It In the pond reserved for the purpose
near the temple."

The Plays That Please American
While the American audience pre
fers plays of sent'menal Interest, the
English audience Is more ready to ac
cept plays of conversational interest.
The Frenchman wants Intrigue, and is
willing to accept dramatic literature.
The German la fond of • stories of
strong ethical Import, without refer
ence to what we want In this country
—action, movement and life.
It Is a fact that In offering a play to
an American audience, which haa
more cosmopolitant taste than any
audience In the world, the manager
who vrants to succeed, not only art
istically, but financially, must first
consider his galleries, for If he can
please the galleries and upper circles
—which, after all. Is the heart of the
public—he Is very likely to satisfy the
expensive patron down stairs. If his
plays appeal to the select few—the
"problem" plays from Norway, France,
Denmark, Germany, where you will—
he Is appealing to but a portion of the
public and not tc the approval of the
mutable many. You have got to reach
the large middle class of theatre
goers. From this class the Interest
radiates to aii classes. The same your Patronage Solicited
general argument Is true of the purely ”
literary plays, like those of Bernard
Shaw or the poetic writers. They are,
as a matter of fact, too limited In
number to meet more than literary
Interest. They do not reach the out
lying population. Nevertheless, plays
of this class, if they have dramatic
quality, would succeed despite the
fact that they are beautifully written
—not because they are.—Daniel Froh-
man, In Harper's Weekly.

absolutely devoid of rhetoric or
nny attempt at literary qunllty, except
utmost simplicity and directness of
statement. It was a business man's
straightforward presentation of tho
financial condition of the state, which
the new governor conceived to be
such os to call loudly for retrench
ment, and a call for certain other long
needed reforms. No greater testimony
to the man's power of achieving re-
suits could be cited than the fact that
every one of these and subsequent
recommendations were placed upon
tho statute book, though It was In
evitable that state boards ond depart
ments should protest when they saw
themselves stripped of time-honored
prerogatives. None but a man of mar
velous tact and persuasiveness In tha
winning of other men to hls sldo
could have accomplishes these things.

very poor lawyer, or, In fact, no law
yer at all. Secretary Hay has lately
been reminded that literary may be
distinguished shsrpsly from legal at
tainments. From a historical point
of view, there was ampls Justification
for hls order directing our diplomatic
and consular representatives abroad
to describe themselves officially a,
"American" ambassadors, minister,,
consul,. etc. These office,, however,
are created by act, of Congress, and
the abjective by which they arc des
ignated tn the statutes happens to be
not "American," but "United States.'
It Is therefore obvious that In signing
treaties, or In executing legal Instru
ments, or in signing receipts for sab
arles, our diplomatic nnd consular
term used In the itatulcs by virtue
of which they are empowered to ex

The Carnival of Ice at Niagara,
Tha Ice bridge of 1004 was the
greatest In history. Some portions of
other bridges have been more remark
able. but in no year haa there been
such a complete structure aa the one
of that winter. The scope of the J*m
can be imagined when It ia said that
on the 15th of February 15 feet of Ice
had formed on the very guard-rail of
Prospect Point, placed there for the
protection of tourists viewing the
Falla, and this rapidly Increased In a
few days to a height of t$ feet, form
ing a gerat maee of snow and Ice from
which Prospect Point waa not deliv
ered until the 27th day of May.
For several years past there haa
been an annual thaw which caused a
partial disintegration of the bridge,
followed by a rebuilding of It. and
these efforts on the part of nature
have achieved some phenomenal ef
fects Orest domes of Ice covered
with snow, having had the keys of
their arches weakened, win collapse
and leave sbysees with th* dark water
of the stream boiling at the bottom.
It ta not unusual for huge hum
mocks to be split off at the lower end,
leaving exposed strata* of different

color and convolution*. Again, hid

The Eight-Hour Work Day Law.
On th* face of the papers, there ap
pears to be no possibility of reconcil
Ing a decision of the New York oourt
of appeals In n matter of the utmost
interest to capital and labor with i
Judgment of the United States su
preme court. The former tribunal ha*
more than once pronounced unconsti
tutional the law or the empire state
prohibiting contractors who make
contracts with that commonwealth, or
with any of Its cities or counties, from
exacting more than eight hours' work
a day from their employee. Three of
the Judges composing the court rested
their decision on the ground that the
amendment of tha federal constitution,
which provides that no state shall de
prive any person of life, liberty, or
property without due proCeea of Uw.
An appeal haa been taken from thla
decision to the United States supreme
court, and It look* as if the appellant*
could not fail to be successful. In vie

thla aututa was challenged on the
ground just mentioned, that It violat
