THE cor TROUBLES ENDED.

The disorders which have checked the pro-
ductiOn of coal since the list of December
$780, are ended. Miners who have subsisted
for FIVE months and 81 days without wages
descend into the mines to-day to commence
the weary task of working off the long scores
which have run up against them in the proyiS-
ion stores.
The coal miners are not ruled dcspotcally
by a few designing leaders. The resolution of
the Scranton miners. not to submit to the re-
duction of wages, was adopted in mass meet
ing, after a long debate and by a large major
ity. The resolution to accept the compromise
Offered by the company was also carried in
mass meeting by close vote. OF course the
leading men of the miners have great infia-
ence in their councils, as leading men do IN
all kinds of councils. But the Miners Union,
in all its operations, is as near an approach to
pure democracy as any government ON earth.
1t is an error to suppose that arbitration can
only grow up on the ruins OF the Miners
Union. Ii is the strength of the Miners
Union, AMI not its weakness, which has given
birth to arbitration. England does not arbl-
trate with AbyssiDia; neither would the
Schuylkill operators arbitrate with an unor-
ganized body of labOrng men. The Miners
Union is stronger to-day than ever 1t was be-
fore. We do not however, anticipate any
more strikes this year, though 1t Is still
problem how to accommodate the OVERLOOKING
capacity of the mines machinery, and labor to
a restricted market.
All wars are foolish and easily to be avoided.
or, at any rate, appear so to all but the people
who are engaged III them. The right and wrong
of these coal wars is quite as evenly distrb-
uted between the contestants as in most con-
tests between civilized and Christian nations.
1t is sufficient that both sides believed them
selves in the right, and, having suffered Sc
verely, are now in the humor for peace.

If we were q member of any legislative body, we
should read with feeling of envy of Herr Heinrich
Won Treitschke, in the German Parliament, who is
as deaf as post an adder, OF stone. The beauty
of it is that he can make speeches but he is not
obliged to listen to them. He has friend with a
fearfuly long name-the Herr Wehrenpfennng-
who takes down the other gentlemen's speeches,
after reading which Won Treitschke opens Thus he
has all the honor and pleasure and fame without the
bore and the evidence is that he is an exceedingly
tough customer to meet in debate. We hope that no
member of our own Senate will be induced by TINS
account to cause himself to be deafened by sur
gica operation Perhaps, when the ears are 50 long
insure perfect deafness.

Fort du Mont yaleren as key point his
efforts must have inevitably failed.
The concluding affair of the siege on yester-
day was, TO all appearance, not very bloody
On Saturday night the fire of the batteries
along the west bank of the Seine, near Fort
du Mont Valerien, was concentrated
upon the ramparts behind the Bots dc
BoulOgne, and breaches were made a.
several points after eight hours Donioiiu-
ment. Early yesterday morning the oeSi.s'ne

The Versailles army by these successes is
firmly established in the southern half of the
CITY and within shelling distance of the rest
of Paris: but it is by no means certain that
the insurgents are conquered. If Paris were
not led by madmen the struggle would be over.
A competent military commander would mt
once conclude that further resistance was vain,
ard make the best possible terms. But the
Commune has built formidable barricades in
the principal streets, and behind these Paris
vaunts Its determination to fight. The resolves
were formed, however under different cir
cumstances than those now surrounding
the insurgents; and instead of making,
as they certainly might, a strong bat ineffective
defense at the barbados, the probabilities are
that they will seek safety in disbanding. For
the solution of this doubt, however, we must
await further news. We rejoice to believe
that the worst of the war is over, and that
10 more blood will be needlcssly spilled

PARIS AGAIN HUMILIATED.


ynsolent Paris has again been terribly humil-
lated Its power to impose war on Europe at
the whim of its mad, uncomfortable populace,
was broken four months ago when the Germans
entered it. It's power to set up or tOpple over
governments for all France at the dictatiOn OF
its despotc mob, is now happily shattered,
since an army Of the constituted authority of the
nation has subdued that of the insurrectiOnary
city. These ends justify the means used to
attain them, and furnish Humanity more cause
for rejoicing than regret. 1t is natural con-
clusion to the siege long looked for, and none
the less welcome that it was deferred beyond
reasonable time. We rejoice as heartily at
the result as we did at the close of the former
siege, because Right tTiumphs now as then,
and because it puts an end to an unnatural
and UNEQUAL struggle by the defeat of the side
clearly in the wrong.
The siege lust concluded by the demolition
of the western walls of the city has been one
of the most peculiar in military annals. Fol
lowing Immediately after that OF the Germans,
If seems natural to compare 1t, In maneuvers
and results, to that undertaking, though
there are really no points OF resemblance
The conditions under which the two OPP
erations were begun and conducted dll-
fered in every respect The Germans
had to invest the whole city; the versailles
army extended in line around only one-third
of it. The formidable forts which form the
outer defenses of the city were held by the
French as against the Germans while IN the
second siege the most important work OF them
all was in the hands of the besiegers and one
half the others were held by the neutral Ger
mans, who sat grimly smiling at war
fare which, after their gigantic Efforts
they were justified in calling puny,
but which they felt certain satisfaction
in knowing was exhausting TO Their
old enemy. It cannot be accepted as conclu-
siye. IA some have asserted, that the opera
tions of Marshal MacMahOn prove that Gen.
Moltke could have carried Paris by force OF
arms. On the contrary it Is clear that If the
Versailles troops had not held Fort du
Mont Val1rien as the basis Of operations,
MacMahon must have resorted to the
policy of starvation which in the end sue
ceeded with Moltke. Without an army to
complete the Investment and indeed without
the right TO do so as long as the Germans held
the eastern forts, such a siege could not have
been successful at all. The siege has certainly
been masterly,-Marshal MaeMabon can better
rest his claims as "A stTatcgst on his efforts
against his countrymen than on those against

sfosm in their cause that ono of these associa-'
tons permitted it to become lrrevocably al
fiiated in the eyes of the public with dogmas
which were sure to work its overthrow The
Howe Stone Convention made haste to spew
the unclean thing out of its mouth-in which
we give them credit for both womanly dcceDcy
and shrewdness We cannot believe that, in
the other convention, the venerable Lucrctia
Mott at least had any desire to incorporate the
ideas which were advanced in Woodruff d.
OtaHn's Weekly into the main question. In
her long life of battling for freedom, she mas
been so used to hear her party assalled with
Injustice that she probably suffered the matter
TO pass by unhe eded az an idle wind OF gossip
The remainder of the WOodhull-Stanton Con-
vention acted in this point with that singular
ignorance they have always shown OF the
dominant temper and habitude of thought OF
the mass of their sex.
Suffrage is to the women of this or any
country a right given or withheld, which
trenches on their worldly comfort probably,
but does not touch in one whit their moral
sense or the relations and obligations between
God and their souls. But nearest and deepest
in woman's nature lies her sense OF personal
chastity and honor; and when the National
Convention approaches her with suffrage in
one hand, and code in the other that tacitly
tolerates more unlicensed freedom than that of
the brothels, it only insures its own defeat.
No political party has ever yet found its
strength in indecency We cannot believe
that the first one to do so will be wOman's.
We are sincerely sorry for the mistake of these
ladies, and urge upon them the fact that it is
not yet too late to amend it, and redeem their
reputation for clearness of vision, both as re-
CARDS womanly virtue and political expediency.

In the City of Lowell. Mass. since JAM last past
there have been eighty of smallpox and varo-
loid during the same period there have been twenty
three deaths; and twenty persons are still under the
disease a part of them convalescent These figures,
considering the immunity which vaccination was
supposed to afford from smallpox, are not encour-
aging OF course however in population like
that of Lowell in too many cases, vaccination Is
altogether neglected there being still some preju-
dice against it, especially among the Irish. Very
frequently too the vaccine matter is inert from con-
slant transmission; and not seldom no pains are
taken to determine whether the vaccination has
been thorough or not In the comparative frequency
Of the disease we have yet seen nothing to make us
doubt the truth of Jenner's theory.

The World seeks to show that the benefi-
cent influence of Protection has not been felt
in the increasing prosperity of the country, or
the greater wealth of this city, by arguments
like this:
Let us precisely in what shape this increase has
taken place In 1900 the population OF the island
In 1870 II barely reached 100000 The increase
population therefore been about per cent while
the wealth the city has than doubled IN he
period The population has thus under the blessings Of
Protective Tariff, refused to keep pace with the In
crease OF property"
Now we find it hard to mourn over this
state of affairs. We hope indeed that "the
blessings of Protection" may continue to be
INDICATED in the same way. If our now
nearly one million citizens own double the
amount of property $4,000 owned in 1860 it
is gratifying progress, and they will be salts

une method of seeking free advertising "a 49,
abuse a newspaper. Having determined upon such
proceeding, newspaper dinner is just the place TO
put it into execution. There is q small Unitarian
newspaper called The Christian Register printed in
Boston, which has attained the patriarchal age of
City years, a circumstance which enabled 1t to in
yite number of its friends to dinner in honor of
its semicentennial elimination. At this banquet
the Rev. DR.. Hedge, as was some time ago
noted exhausted his spleen upon newspapers.
and specially upon reporters and CORE
spondents. The former are "actuated by two
principles One is, that everything is to be re-
ported-whcreby it comes to pass that in modern
society there is no longer any such thing as
privacy The fact shat thing is done in corner is
the very reason why it becomes known. Another is
to be sure and report the very contrary OF what
man SAYS OF means to say" 81 think" said DR..
Hodge. with more vigor than good taste s. that God
is the only person that the special correspondent
does not interview. And it, in modern politics, God
was supposed TO be person of any Importance, he
would interview him." We will not discuss that
question with the Doctor of Divinity; but suppose
that the Rev. Dr. Hedge shOuld break his leg-hls
phvsical leg we mean, and not the leg OF his logic
should nobody but he and his surgeon know III
Suppose that the Rev. DR.. Hedge should propose
TO preach sermon make speech upon some
special OCCASION would he be very angry II II
were announced beforehand, and spoken OF
in newspapers afterward If So it would
be entirely against our experience OF reverend
gentlemen in general. For instance, it is TACT
that DR.. Hedge made an address about newspa-
pers at q public dinner. 1t is another fact that
this address has. by the grace of reporters, been
given to the universe. These two facts being put
upon record, the world may have TO wait long
while for those perfect journals which sooner OF later
will be the result of DR. Hedges post-prandlai
speech but without this record to guide them news
papers might 20 on in the old, bad way forever.
