To Amend Immigration Laws. The bill reported from, the senate committee on immigration last Thursday amending the immigration laws, has some commendable features. It adds to the classes of aliens now excluded by the law all embeciles, feeble minded persons, as well as those who are mentally or physically defective to such an extent that their ability to earn a living may be doubted. Children under seventeen years of age, unless accompanied by their parents, are also excluded, and the provisions guarding against the admission of polygamists or disorderly persons are made stronger. An excellent feature of the bill is that it imposes a fine of one hundred dollars upon steamship lines for bringing in any person who because of afflictions of mind or body would not be permitted to land.

The" head tax on incoming aliens is also increased from two to five dollars. The provisions of this measure are none too strict, so far as they are designed to keep out the most undesirable classes. By these we mean those who by reason of mental or physical defects are likely to become public charges, and particularly that criminal class including the depraved scoundrels who band together in the Mafia, Black Hand or any other organization of blackmailers and assassins. These are the worst immigrants we receive from the Old 'World, and no law Intended to keep them out of the country can be too severe. The poor but decent who are able and willing to work we can afford to welcome, but a way should be found to pui up the bars against the cutthroats and keep them up.

To do this effectively, however, a more rigid law than any yet suggested, will probably have to be devised. But if congress will only embody in a law the provisions contained in the bill mentioned it will be a step In the right direction. The measure is not all that could be desired, but pro vides for. an addition to the present regulations that would prove of great value. One good feature of the bill is that It establishes a division of information in the bureau of immigration for promoting the distribution of admitted aliens among the states and territories where many of them would be better off than in the crowded eastern cities.

Cause for Indignation. The bringing up alive from the depths of the Courrieres mine, France, on Friday, of fifteen men who had been imprisoned for twenty days, emphasizes the fact that no adequate measures were promptly taken to rescue the entombed victims. Those in authority seem to have acted upon the assumption that all were dead and that there was no sense in energetical ly moving in the hope of rescuing any of them alive. All the time, however, as is now known, there were men alive In the mine, anxiously waiting to be rescued, and that they might have been taken out many days ago, had those in charge bestirred themselves as they ougtit, is reasonable to believe. It.

is not surprising, therefore, that great indignation should prevail among the friends and relatives of the vie tlms of the disaster. Many of the lat ter, there is now reason to believe, per ished by the slow process of starvation, while blundering engineers were dawd ling away, under the mistaken assump tion that every man and boy In the mine had been Instantly killed, the time thev should have employed In leading a rescue movement. It is needless to say that no such delay in trying find out for a certainty what had been the fate of the entomb ed would have been tolerated had a similar catastrophe occurred in this country. There would have been a' persistent effort put forth to reach that part of the mine where the men were imprisoned. A large i force of laborers would have been kept busy working night and day, under skillful leadership, and probably every person, living and dead, would have been taken out of the mine within less than a week from the time the explosion oc curred.

At any rate It is plain that lndif ference as to the fate of those in the mine, on the part of the owners and engineers, combined with incapacity to rise equal to the great emergency, was responsible for the long delay In rescuing the living. The thought that no adequate effort was put. forth to I save them naturally causes a ihrilKof indignation to pervade not only France, but1 all the civilised' world. '4 London reports a grave crisis in South Africa as the consequence of interference by the new government with the execution of a dozen natives who were convicted of the murder of a police inspector during a recent rising in Natal. The South African colonists are said to be extremely indignant because of the government's action and are holding meetings to protest against the procedure as calculated to endanger their safety.

A Criitcal Situation. While an order to discontinue working the mines has gone Into effect, it is as yet a suspension of. operations, not a strike. True, it may quickly be converted into one, but there is still a possibility that a strike may be averted. It can only be done, however, by agreement of some kind between the committee of miners and the representatives of the operators who are to confer with each other on Tuesday.

They can preserve the peace. Naturally this is what the country hopes they will but unless they come together in a more conciliatory spirit than either side has yet displayed, the hopes of the public are sure to be blasted. Certainly there are ways out of the difficulty. Arbitration affords one, in case the parties to the dispute And it impossible to arrivcat a mutual understanding. It is not thought, however, that the operators will consent to permit a third party to step in this time, and say what shall or shall not be done.

They would probably prefer themselves to come to an agreement with the mine workers. We da not anticipate, therefore, that a suggestion to submit the dispute to arbitration, if one should be made, will meet with re spectful consideration at the. hands of the operators. Unless, therefore, a truce pending further efforts to arrive at a peaceful solution of the problem is agreed upon, a real strike will, soon be in full blast in the anthracite region. There are, however, two facts wnicn may cause both parties to the dispute to hesitate before plunging the country into a labor war.

One is that public sentiment does not support to any very great extent the present attitude of the mine workers. The coal consumers do not believe that conditions warrant the miners In striking to en force their demands. The other fact is the comprehension by the great coal mining and coal carrying corpora tions that the country already enter tains a more or less unfriendly feel ing toward them which Is liable to be intensified should there be a long and damaging strike. Some have entertained the thought that President Roosevelt might inter vene to prevent a rupture, but of this there is "small prospect. As a matter of fact it is said that he does not re gardthe situation as being such as to demand or warrant Interference on his He doubtlesir fcopes with the rest of us that by concessions a strike may bo prevented, but there Is no reason to think that he will make any unusual move with a view to warding off the pending calam ity.

In fact there doesn't seem to be anything he can do to prevent it from falling if both the mine workers and operators persist in inviting It. To state the truth in a nutshell, the question whether there shall be a great strike Is up to the parties to the dis pute to decide. No one else can settle it. The public is interested as much as are either the miners or the operators, but unfortunately has no voice whatever in the matter. The decision rests with the disputants.

If each side continues to maintain an unbending attitude a ruinous labor war will be precipitated, but a little yield ing on the part of each, for which it is net yet too late to hope, will ward off the threatened calamity. Delaware Craves the Honor. It is by no means certain that the great twenty thousand ton battleship to be built for the American navy will be named the "Constitution," as has been previously announced. There Is no question but a majority of the people would be pleased to have It christened by that name, but there is an obstacle In the way. According to a' law passed by congress, battleships must be named after states of the Union.

Of course congress could pass a special act con ferring the name "Constitution" upon the proposed monster addition to the navy, but then the states which have not been complimented by having a battleship named after them, would object. This is particularly the case with Delaware, whose representatives have already protested against calling the vessel "Constitution." They want it named "Delaware." Senator Allee Is reported to have In terviewed President Roosevelt concerning the matter. He is said tfl have argued that since Delaware was the first state to sign the constitution, sen timent in pratrlotlc history would Jus tify naming the great war vessel for that state. When Senator Allee made that plea he put up the strongest argument he could have thought of If he had been pondering over the subject for a month That It Impressed the president is also evident from the fact that he promised to give the matter earcfdl attention Secretary of the navy Bonaparte also admitted the Justice of Delaware's claim, and said he agreed with the con tentlon that that state should be hon THE SCR ANTON REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY.

nored in preference to the others which are not represented by a warship In the navy. Certainly there is nothing objectionable to the name of Delaware. It is, as all must admit, an name in American history. But there seems to be something incongruous in the thought of christening the greatest, battleship that has ever been suggest ed, with the name of one of the smallest states in the Union. From the tale of horror relating to the awful catastrophe at the Courrieres mine at last emerges the name of a hero.

It Is Neny." It was Neny who led the men rescued on Friday to safety. He was the one man who never lost hope, who, during the long period of entombment in the mine, kept his head and always knew what he was doing. Throughout the intricate and dangerous ways of the great mine he led his companions to the foot of the shaft and deliverance. AH France Is singing his praise now. They applaud him for his courage, for his wonderful display of manlike qualities in an emergency that for gloominess and danger could not have been surpassed.

They say that he was always calm; and cool, that he encouraged the others and kept up their spirits during the long night of gloom. The man who could do these things is no ordinary character, even though he be but miner. He has in him the material out of which heroes, men who Jo great things in great emergencies, are All honor, then, to Neny, the French miner. The people of the western part of Kansas are so anxious to have a law passed reducing railroad fares In that state to two cents a mile that they are circulating and signing petitions requesting Governor Hoch to call a special session of the legislature for that purpose. An anti pass law is also demanded.

The civic league of the state Is said to be behind the movement, but so far as known, Governor Hoch has given no intimation as to what he will do in the matter. What looks like a step backward in the matter of regulating the age at which children may be employed in factories and elsewhere has been taken by the legislature of Maryland. It has passed a law changing the limit from fourteen to twelve years. It Is argued that this is a progressive move, how ever, oecause trie law has een so amended as to provide for suitable inspection, but we cannot view the matter in that light. The place for the child up to fourteen years Is in the school room and not in the mill or factory.

When Washington died New York was a little country village and Washington, D. was a boi.kwoods settlement with pigs running wild in the principal streets. There wasn't such thing as Chi cago; nobody but the Indians knew anything about Lake Michigan, and as for the Rocky mountains, they might as well have been a row of ant hills for all either George Washington or any one who lived in his time had ever heard of them. Any man who had gone to Mount Vernon to explain the wireless tele graphy Idea to Washington would have been led out the front door and ais missed i AS a harmless maniac. If a man had tried to make Washington believe that he could talk to a friend one thousand miles away and known his friend's voice when he heard it, he would have smiled that "benignant smile of his and changed the bud lect.

tyaifiaiw's "Chat The anthracite mining region, with surprising suddenness, is on the eve of another strike. There have been many of us who have been talking in a listless sort qf way of a strike with the idea that It was something of the far distant future. Our first Jar came when orders for coal began to come in on the local dealers in a maner that indicated that there was something doing. Then the sessions began at In. dianapolis and still we did not realize that out of the muss that had been caused there would come our own troubles.

They came all right enough, and late at night at that with a suddenness that dazed a good many and even caused the mine workers to pinch themselves to see if tbey were awake. The result is that we do not know where we are at. Neither do the heads of the great coal companies. Neither do John Mltchel and his committeemen. All are hoping for the best of it except the consumers of coal who know that they are certain to get the worst of It.

Either the miners or the operators will get the worst of it too. The miners are certain that it will.be the operators and the operators are certain that it will be the miners. So the story runs. If the coal operators have as much coal stored as they have been intimating that they have they will have a decided advantage over the position that they occupied in 1902. At that time they had little or no coal on hand and the country was brought to great straits before the miners and operators got together and the mining of coal was resumed.

This year there is certainly a great quantity of coal on hand, it is does not matter if it is not as much as the miners have been led to believe. We are also on the verge of summer, when the demand for coal for heating purposes will be very small. Over and "above all this Is the determination of the coal operators to work their mines. If only a small percentage of them Is, operated it means that thousands of tons of coal will be mined, and as the number of non union men is certain to grow before many months have passed enough will be mined every day to somewhat effect the situation. In addition to that a great many people are getting in the habit of using gas for fuel.

More of them will come to it if this strike keeps up as long as it is expected that it will. The result will be a distinct loss In the sale of coal to the local dealers. j. 4. 4.

If the operators make the effort to operate their mines that they declare that they will they will be up against it good and strong in the way of outbreaks of violence and lawlessness. The employment of non union labor in the place of union men never fails to produce disastrous results so far as violence goes. It will undoubtedly be the effort of the leaders of the miners, however, to reduce violence to rfy 1" imum and if thYhSmselves. make friend 4. 4.

4 tne amusing features of the that has resulted from the mayor's announcement of appolntees lg the interest that the Democratic press Is taking in his ac tions. As a matter of fact their only interest in the matter is to stir up as much trouble as they can for the Republican leaders of Scranton. They do not care a sou about Mr. Dlmmlck and the men that he has selected for his cabinet and when the time comes they will not be patting him on the back on the contrary they will be sticking their snickernees Into him good and hard and he will awake to a realization of the worthlessness of their praise. i The great, crush that collected as a result Of the fire late last night may be 'taken as an evidence of the immense crowd that can be assembled In Scranton on short notice.

The writer of this column was forced, by press of businesss, to make an effort to press his way through this crowd and found the undertaking one to daunt an aver age man. It was push this way and crush that, men, women and children being all treated alike. Luckily, the crowd was good natured and no one was hurt. But several women caused consternation by manifesting a dispo sition to faint. One who declares that he Is In a po sition to know, declares that there will be no strike of street car men, while the miners are acting under suspen sion orders.

It Is gratifying to notice that street car men and company ofll cials have nearly reached an agree ment and that there is likelihood of a settlement without recourse to ex tremes. People who remember the last street rnr strike in Scranton are hop ing that we are never afflicted with another, MAN AND SUPERMAN. Himnlil like to ask you one ques tlon, Euphorbia," said her mother.
