There can be no dissent from the verdict OF
the Coroner's Jury as to where the blame
rests for the late disaster at West Pittston.
We might object TO the censure as not strong
enough, but where the facts are so plain the
natural instincts of humanity will supply this
deficiency. The laws of Pennsylvania, in re-
spect to the working of coal mines with due
regard to the safety of the miners, have been
grossly violated by Messrs. Blake g. Co., and
it is the fault of the laws if these gentlemen
cannot be severely punished, even to the ex-
tent of incarceration in the State Prison for
manslaughter The State Mine Inspector,
Williams, is also plainly guilty of Grim
inal neglect of duty. Such mine as
that at West Pittston, with only one opening,
ought to have received the Inspectors most
particular attention. Nothing could have been
easier than to obtain the information that
more than the legal number of men were
working in the fatal chambers. Two such
cataStrOphes as those at AvOndale and Pitts
ton, coming in such quick succession, forcibly
show that, in the northern coal field Of Penn
sylvania at least, we are still almost as reCk-
less as the savage of human life.

We read of beautiful example just set by the
venerable Princess Luperano of Naples She has
written play called II Denaro, which is highly
popular but ION the other hand she is eighty-two
years old, and this is her very first production If
her delay in doing her drama was occasoned by a
cc0scientious resolution to abstain from composition
until after her arrival at ripe old age why will not
some of our modern dramatists try the same expert
ment 1t is pretty evident that they are incapable
much save the bloody and the beastly, either in
the flush of their youth the yigor of their middle
age but just let them restrain themselves until they
are octogenarians and they may win our plaudts by
appeal to the tenderness due to senity. If they
die before reaching the eighties why all the better

The twelfth annual commencement OF the
Cooper Union yesterday gave occasion Tor the
exchange Of some graceful and grateful praise
of the founder of tkis generous charity by the
students who have benefited by it, and OF
some sage advice TO the pupils from the patron
himself Not the least among the noble gifts
of Peter Cooper to this city is that OF his ex-
ample. His career is an example for all working
bows. and in briefly detailing the principles
which have guided him so successfully in a
long, happy, and useful life, he has added to
the Indebtedness of the community. 1t is sell
dom that such a scene as we describe else
where is witnessed in this OF any other com
munity, and only once in an age that public
benefactor lives to receive the full reward OF
lis labors in the visiL!e fruits OF his wise
charity now vOuchsafed to MI Cooper
The venerable philantbrOpist makes his
contribution to the pacifcation of the struggle
between Capital and Labor in few we'll
chosen and wise words. He looks to the recog-
nitioH by each Of the rights of the other, and
to the acceptance of fair arbitration as the best
means of solving the vexed problem.

Before the late attempt of the Senate to eX-
ceed most grossly its just powers passes out
of mind, it is well that the public should see
with what mastery hand Mr.. Sumner dis
sected the unwarrantable pretensions Thought
full men at the Capital have for year or
two been expressing their fears of this
tendency to assume disproportonate author
ity in the Government, displayed by the SEN
ate. Mr.. Sumner has added to the long labors
of most useful life by resisting this new
danger and we present on our second page
the main points of his argument. The Press
of the country owe to him, as well as to Sena-
tors Sherman, Schurz, Morton, and other CO.
adutors, all thanks for the ability and umeh-
ness of their service.

In the case of John Moran, on trial at Dedham
Mass for the murder Of Charles NJ. Packard, the
prisoner's counsel moved to change the venue 10
Suffolk on account of strong local prejudice against
the prisoner. Chapman, c. j.. denied the motion,
and in giving his opinion, said: Those who take
the daily papers are prejudiced, matter of fact
by whatever they read in them, but these impress
sions pass away and are replaced by others. The
opinion which is to disqualfy juror as stated by
Chief-Justice Shaw must be something more than
vague impression derived from newspaper reports
We put this opinion upon record about the most
sensible which we have seen the subject and if
we could have ruling like this in New-IoTk, ii
might save the courts good deal of time and the
county good deal of money. The general notion
that because Juror from what he has heard has
formed an opinion adverse to the prisoner, would
make wild work if it were applied to evidence.
witness might testify Il A., the prisoner, kill
b." Then you have prejudice against A." 81
certainly have" Pray would sucha prejudice inval-
idate the credibilty of the witness So, if juror
says: From what ! have heard and read have
believed the prisoner guilty; but amqute prepared
to find a verdict in accordance with the evidence
and the ruling Of the Court" Pray, how is that
fairly to be urged against the competency of juror
On the contrary, is it not evident that in man who
thus frankly confesses his previous opinion you have
the best juror in the world ?

The acrimOny of The World against Pro-
lection leads it into more misstatements.
Ii said yesterday that the duty of 30
per cent on Calomcl entails a loss Of
$4,000 to consumers, being 30 per cent
on an estimated annual consumption of
$4,000, and that "the unfortunate liver
" complainant cannot take dose of CalOmel
without paying a royalty Of 30 pert cent to
" "yo4c cherished drug monopolist in Pennsyl
" yania, New York, or New-Jersey." Now, the
Wholesale price of Calomel of American manu-
facture is 81 10 per pound. In England, where
it is produced with cheaper labor it sells for
II 03. Add freight and the ordinary profit an
importer demands, and the cost of the foreign
article would equal if not exceed that of the
domestic.
The same journal asserts that because there
was a duty of 81 per pound in 1870 on Chloro-
form, "the people paid monopolsts $4,000"
The wholesale price of this article in New
York is from 81 10 to 81 20 per pound, or con-
siderably less than it is in England, where it
sells for what is equivalent to 81 OF currency.
Were il free of duty it would be an act of
commercial insanity to import it..
Not only do these figures completely refute
The Worlds Misrepresentation, but they prove
the economy of diversified home industries.
If we did not manufacture the chemi
cal products named we would have to
pay the high foreign prices quoted, and
as our demand increased we should see
the stcrcOtyped phrase IN foreign COM
mercial reports: "The influx of orders from
" the UNITED Statesl has caused prices to adj

marked progress, and instead of entailing loss,
is saving millions to the country

Oyer-long prayers in public may unquestionably
be bore but il is difficult and delicate matter to
stop them without hurting the feelings of the sup
plants. At the Young Mems Christian Convention in
Washington the question was put to the delegates,
what do you do with people who persistently in
dulge in long prayersp ~ and, somebody answering,

freedom of speech with the yOubilty of the weaker

The delicate attentions which the Sultan has
been paving to the Car, in cOnferrlng on him
and his Ministers an Imperial order OF the
Ottomans, must have a strangely suspicious
look to the Powers which lately discussed a
settlement of the Black Sea question in order
TO prevent the two sovereigns from rushing
headlong into war. They will hardly regard
it as servile tlattery dictated by the Sultan's
fears; and will never suspect that the gifts
are those of genuine good will. The painful
truth viii probably dawn upon them in time,
and they Will then comprehend what mock
cry their Conference at London was rendered
by the complete understanding arrived at be-
tween Turkey Russia, and Prussia before the
