There would have been no Japanese Question, no talk of war between two friendly nations and no necessity for apologizing for the conduct of an "un whlpped mob" if the municipal author ities at San Franchvo measured up to the Roanoke, Va., standard. When the San Francisco hoodlums destroyed the business places of a number of Japanese merchants, assaulted Inoffen sive Japanese and started something like a reign of terror in that city the municipal authorities sat supine, Ig noring the violations of the law, If not encouraging them, and allowed a street riot to become an international com plication. Contrast this with the way they do things differently in Virginia. When the 'Frisco-Japanese excitement was at its height a mob at Roanoke took advantage of a Quarrel between a citi zen and the proprietor of a Greek restaurant, over a 5-cent sandwich, wrecked the place and then started a general crusade against the Greeks. Three restaurants, three shoe shining parlors and two stores were com pletely demolished and their proprie tors beaten. The matter never got to the authorities at Washington except through newspaper reports. Mayor Joel Cutchln took the case in hand to restore order, and he did it effectively and promptly. He then caused the ar rest of the rioters and Induced the city council to pay damages promptly for the losses sustained by the Greeks, who were urged to resume their busi ness, with promise of complete protec tion. A special grand Jury Indicted twenty of the rioters, some of them rather prominent in city affairs, who will have to pay the penalty of their lawlessness. A damper has been put on the mob Bplrlt and the officials of Roanoke are making a highly credita ble showing of their respect for the law and their determination to see that its protection shall be extended to every member of the community. San Francisco should study the Roa noke lesson. LOST TRAllt ORDERS. Responsibility tor the awful wreck on the Pere Marquette railway, in which, by a collision between a freight and an excursion train, forty persons were killed and nearly a hundred in jured, has been fixed on Wilson I. Rodgers, the engineer of the freight train, who gave this testimony before the coroner's Jury: I knew that the excursion train was oomlng, but I lost my train orders and did not know whether I was to meet It on the road or wait In Plymouth for It. Engineer Rodgers testified further that he ran his train at "good speed," knowing there was danger ahead. No more marked confession ot incompe tency and utter lack of the sense ot re sponsibility has ever developed in the history of railroad wrecks. Yet Rodgers is not solely responsible for the catastrophe. His conductor should have had duplicate orders and thus have been in position to supply Rodgers with the instructions he had lost. In that case the conductor would be equally blameable. If the con ductor was not supplied with the dupli cate orders, the managers ot the rail road company are guilty, with Rod gers, of criminal negligence. There can be no adequate punishment for such offenders, but nothing should be left undone to ascertain the real facts, place the responsibility where it be longs and Impose such penalties as are possible under the laws. LOSS Or A FRltXD jy TBS ORlSltT. The removal of Corea from the diplo matic map ot the world may be fraught with more significance to the United States than appears on the surface. Nations in times ot trouble need staunch friends and strong allies, as well as individuals do, and Corea has been America's friend in far eastern affairs. The fact has not been widely advertised, as Corea has always been a little lame in press agent work, but the records of the State department at Washington furnish lncontestlble proof that in all dangers that have beset the United States since the na tion became a world power, Corea has been standing ready to assist us against attempted oppression or un just dealing at the hands, of other powers. Article I of a treaty made between Corea and the United States, In 1882, reads thus: There shall b perpetual peace and. friend ship between the president of the United States and the king of Corea and th cltl sens and subjects of their respective gov ernments. If the other powers deal un justly or oppressively with either govern ment, the other will exert their good offi ce, on being Informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings. Most of the diplomatic dealings be tween nations, the kind that meets crises and averts war, is secret in character, with no way to show, by official and formal records. Just how much Corea has done to keep the United States from being the victim of oppression by other powers, but we have our suspicions. It is easy to re call certain dangers and crises mys teriously averted. About the time Ad miral Dewey was making worUl his tory down at Manila bay, Germany became a little rambunctious and It looked for a time as though war might ensue between the two nations Happily some secret influence waa at work and Germany suddenly subsided and allowed the United States to go ahead and whip Spain. When the al lied powers were apparently ready to oppose by force of arms Uncle Sam's Insistence that the Monroe doctrine was strong enough to protect Venes uela from forelcn Invasion, some hid den Influence waa brought to bear to warn the powers of their danger and another war was averted. Columbia and most of the South American re public were prepared, at the time of the secession of Panama, to march on New Orleans and devastate America, but they were held back by some power not then understood. At Santo Domingo, at Algeclras, at Constantino ple, and at nearly every point in which America has sought to dip into world politics the hostility of other powers has been aroused almost to the fighting point, only to melt away into obse quiousness, and the reason has never been made entirely clear. Americans have been flattering themselves that the changed attitude was due to the fear of us by foreign powers. We are tempted to ascribe It to Corea'a threat of intervention, in compliance with the terms of that treaty which obligated Corea to come to the aid of the United States in such emergencies. There is no telling what will happen to us in foreign countries now that the Corean king and his flower-pot-hat followers have been de prived of their power to stand as America's next best friend. 1WL13 DOWX TH IE VT. It ia up to the mayor and city coun cil to pare down materially the first estimates upon which it is proposed to place the city tax levy tor the year 1903. While the taxpaers realize that a mistake was made last year in cutting the city levy below the actual requirements ot municipal govern ment, they are nonetheless opposed to erring JuBt as far In the opposite direction this time. The school board has reduced the school levy from 16 to 14 mills and the county board is sure to make a similar showing towards tax reduction. The estimates submitted to the council provide for a tax levy to produce $1,160,000 for city purposes alone, which would be $276,000 more than for the present year. This is Jumping altogether too fast. The difficulty with these estimates is that they are not only based on un precedented liberality to the different departments, but also neglect to take into due consideration the revenues which the city will enjoy from sources outside of the tax levy. There Is no good reason why the budget cannot be revised so as to reduce the amount necessary to be raised by taxes by at least $100,000, and this money allowed to remain in the pockets ot the taxpay ers instead of being piled Into the city treasury as a temptation to extrava gance. The tax rate is an essential factor In the growth of the city. People figure on the tax rate before they put their money into new buildings or enlarge their Investments here. By holding the city levy down within reasonable bounds the mayor ' and council can make a substantial contribution to the city's progress. Members of the State Railway com mission want to remember that reduc tion of express charges does not fall exclusively on the express companies. The express companies all do business with the railroads on contracts calling for payments of a percentage ot their receipts. Where, for example, the Adams Express company is paying the Burlington about 40 per cent of the money taken in, the reduction of 26 per cent on express rates embodied in the law passed by the legislature takes 10 per cent out of the railroad's share and 16 per cent only out ot the express company's share. It Is to be noted that the express companies doing business In Nebraska have recognized the authority and Jur isdiction of the State Railway commis sion by appearing before that body on citation to show why express rates should not bo reduced. The express companies' lawyers must have over looked a point in falling to rush into the federal courts for an injunction to prevent the railway commission from doing business. The city council has put its seal ot approval on the plan to open up Twenty-fourth street aa an unob structed thoroughfare. The success or failure ot the plan will devolve next upon the taxpayers who are to figure out what the damages will be and how they may be reimbursed by special as sessment back to the benefited prop erty owners. Official reports to Washington indi cate that the proceeds ot the flour sent from this country to relieve the famine in China went to the mandarins, while the starving people got none of the food unless they had the price. The Chinese have evidently learned one lesson of civilization in order to prac tice the meanest form of graft known to suffering humanity. Governor Sheldon has accepted an invitation to participate in the recep tion to President. Roosevelt at St. Louies October 2, which threatens to interfere with the program to enter tain the governor at Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben week. Perhaps If the governor will try hard he can fill both engage ments. "Several million people in this country do not like to live under the stars and stripes with Mr. Roosevelt at the head of the government," says the Charleston News and Courier. The steamship agencies are still offering reduced rates to outward bound pas sengers. According to the democratic World Herald the lawyers who presented to the supreme court th J union side of the case Involving the duplex party affiliation argued "with insurmounta ble logic." There was no use, then, in waiting for the Judges to hand down their decision. Secretary Taft proposes to tell what is the matter with the army. He will probably explain that the average man will not enlist to fleht Mores or sweat In barrack for $13 a month when he can get $75 a month for running a donkey engine or $30 a month and board for farm work. We are again told that Omaha Is not visited freely by circuses because the license fee of $300 exacted to show here is regarded by them as exorbitant. Omaha can get along without the cir cuses a good deal better than the cir cuses can get along without Omaha. If Senator Norrls Brown had only known that he was setting a match to a fuse that was going to pull off an other double-shotted explosion of the military expert in the World-Herald office he probably would not have said it.

Th Woman's National Trade Union, rep resenting 40,000 trade unions throughout the states, hav undertaken a difficult prob lem. They have passed resolutions Indicat ing the matrimonial Intentions of their members, which, in Itself, Is not a stu pendous thing, but they propose after oatch. lug husbands to make these husbands be have themselves. The resolutions advocate and encourage matrimony, woman's suf frage and equity In law, and establish an endowment for the purpoao of paying pre miums on matrimony. They also provide for a court to try any husband who Is derelict In his duty as a husband, father and provider, and If his wife is forced to enter the army of wae-earners It will be up to him to explain why to this court. It may be considered that Cupid has In vaded ilia ranks ot the Trade Union league, but If he has done so, he Is held strongly In leash by strong common sense. And another point might be noted, especially by those whose Idea of a woman suffragist la of a strong-minded, man-hating, un married female of uncertain age here Is a body ot women advocating woman suf frage and matrimony also. That they are a trifle Idealistic la shown by th fact that they propose to make tb genus husband a good husband In every sense of th word; but then It is only by hitching our wagona to stars that w ever get any w her. After all, th question will evolve Into a practical one will th fear of being found derelict In his duty prove a strong enough obstacle In th matrimonial Intentions of the average man to offset the advantages of tho matrimonial premiums which will be offered?

A holy man of the Himalayas has settled In New York for the proclaimed purpoa of making the people good. Th purpoao of the missionary excites two oppoalta emotions. Th self-contained flout (lie Idea that they are not already perfect. By far the larger crowd, who appreciate the ex tent of the Job. loudly mock the pretention ot the Mahatma. Agamya Guru Parama hamaa, aa his full name Is written, la an exponent ot tho Vedanta philosophy. He la a login who has fully developed himself by th practice of Yoga which he defines to be the absolute control of the vibrations of the mind. This Is th slmpl secret that solves for him the riddles of th universe, and the Mahatma has coma to teach It to tho western world. He would call New York from the materialism of Its ways to tho contemplation of things spiritual. Ha wishes to establish In New York a Parlia ment of truth, composed of twelve men, who will disseminate th Vednnta phil osophy. Ha has already established such an Institution In London. Th Mahatma Is $2 years of ago, a high caste Hindu from an ancient Punjah family, says the Broadway Magazine. Th Ma hatma claims the power to perform all miracles only he does not practice It. He Is very holy and cannot defile himself by touching anything so material as money but his secretary touches It for him. B. H. Harrlman's nam Is probably only less familiar to the public than President Roosevelt's and John D. Rockefeller's, and during the last six months his face has been cartooned and alleged portraiture has per haps appeared more often In the dallies and periodicals than cither of the others, but for some strange reason It falls to be- com photographed on th public retina. Tt U a anfn riiru that neither President Roosevelt nor Mr. Rockefeller could ap- mi, tn the Hat without being universally recognised, yet Mr. Harrlman Is seldom known hv the man In the street and some times not even by th employes of his system. He was walking on lower uroaa wv a few days aao and stepped Into the Bouthern Pacific passenger agency In the Washington building to use tne teiepnone. Without saying a word to any one, ne hovnnd the railing. The astonished clerk moved forward to stop him, but he had the receiver at his ear berore in clerk had taken a step. "That little fel low has lots of cheek." he mumbled, and When Mr. Harrlman left th Instrument the clerk demanded the toll. H probably riKan- know vet that the man" with lots of cheek," waa the president of the system. Officers and nassengera of the Red "D" tine steamer Zulla, Just In from southern waters, brought to port a good fish story. Tt waa while the steamer was crossing tne bar at Toblaso, near Maracalbo, and in a nnrrow channel that the fish, a huge Mero, waa encountered. The steamer struck the fish and, according to a passenger. "careened to atarboard from the force of the blow." rn, a. few minutes CaDtaln Bennett or the Zulla thought tho pilot had made a mistake and bumped Into the mud in snoai water, but Investigation revealed a big dead fish, the Mero having been killed In the collision with the steamer. The Mero Is good to eat, so the prlre was turned over to the captain of a Venezuelan sloop, who towed It to san Carlos. The Mero n...i,r.rl tan.ntT.nli feet In length, four teen feet In circumference and weighed about 1,200 pounds. On his arrival a temporary market was established and the fish sold at 80 cents. v,niLiiiiinii mnnev. a slice. Borne Idea of the slxe of the fish can be obtained when It ia aM that the whole oonulatlon of Ban Carlos, 600 all told, dined sumptuously on Mero that day. According to Director Bnanxor of the Aauarlum. the Mero Is a food fish, ealled by the Spaniards Mero de Lo Alta. It attains a large six ana is found In southern waters, sometimes off the coast of Florida. Almost every corner of a small store In hia cltv awaits the arrival of the collector of rare colna, who makes his appearance at these places about once a year, in ine meantime, the proprietor, and even the salesmen, have carefully scrutinised the money taken for payment of purchases, and have laid aside the pieces that may be afterward traded. The first visit of tho collector Is often viewed with suspicion, but afterward no difficulty Is encountered. Many rare and valuable coins are secured In this way for a price far below their real value, and as both collector and store keeper seems to understand each other, there Is little time consumed In sealing a bargain. A traveling crematory that excites a mild degree of Interest along the mld-sectlon of Broadway, above Canal street, consists of two wornout refuse cans, such as the street cleaners move about on wheels, one of these cans being placed bottom up on top of the other, with Its rim against the rim of the under can; the two cans thus fixed locking together something like a can buoy. A, big hole Is cut In the bottom cf the upper can, which, of course, has a hole In its top as the can Is now placed, and through this opening waste paper Is dropped to be burned within, paper gath ered up by the street cleaner as he drags his traveling crematory, mounted on th usual pair ot wheels, along the street. Talk about "The Making of an Ameri can," aald a settlement worker who la oc casionally called upon to run over to Ellis Island. "A while ago I happened to taks particular notlc of a young Polish girl who had Just been released from Ellis Island with a lot of other Immigrants. The girl was met by two women, on of them apparently her sister . Th trio crossed Battery Park Just ahead ot me, and I soon saw that they were bound for th same ferry hous as I. They reached th upper deck only a moment before me, but by the time I got there the shawl that covered the young Immigrant's head and shoulders had been pulled off, her hair fixed a bit, and a brand new hat and wrap put on her by the other two women, who had brought along the finery to make the newcomer fit to be seen going home with them." In many a aunny block that Is compara tively free from children a new Industry now prevails. That Is, the drying of lace curtains In the street. Somehow, many housekeepers seem to prefer the sidewalk to the roof for that purpose, and, after the curtains hkve been stretched in the frames, several pairs may be seen loaning up against the side ot a house drying In the sunshine.

If th people of this country would mix a little common sens with th hot weather, they would find th good old summer time much more nearly bearable Soma beat prostrations are unavoidable, of course. Bo long a men must toll In the broiling sun we must expect to hear Of victims of high temperature. But when supposedly Intelli gent human beings deliberately go to the extreme of thoughtless, foolishness In weather like this, there Is nobody to blame but themselves. One may accomplish wonders In the way of avoiding the effects of hot weather by the use of a little common sens. Exercise, and especially violent exercise, should not b takon In the heated part of the day, and persons not accustomed to outdoor life should be careful how they go about under a hot sun at all. The mind should be kept oft the subject of the weather, too. Don't talk about It continually. Don't go about saying, e-e-e-e-w, Isn't tt hot?" or some thing else equally as Inane and useless. Dont worry yourself, and don't worry others. There ar many things worse than hot weather, and ther Is ne exeua for failure to apply common sense to th prob lems It presents. MIllTHFUL REMARKS.
