A GREAT mistake is made BY GU

A GREAT mistake is made by our
friends Of the coal official guild. They
affect to ignore the influence Of the
press when it is Hospitality opened to
any defense,of their coaduct-more-
over, to despise such offers. We
characterize this disposition as affec-
tation, for, in the next breath, they
virtually admit the force of the press
when they saddle upon it the blame
Of popular movements inimical to
their interests. This is thought to be
policy, probably consistency, but it is
neither. a'tN-" Il '".-'. IL
The JOURNAL is censured unjustly,
for fomenting and prolonging the
strike. The truth is, the JOURNAL
is unjustly blamed for justly blaming
the companies with the trouble. We
have held that they occupy the atti-
tnde of strikers, and that they do so
without giving any formal or official
reasons therefor. The Coal Trade
Journal, it is true, has asked deris-
ively-"who ever heard of compsnies
stliking?" This question is no an
swer to question, nor does it by i'm
plication rsfllte a fact. The matter
must be disposed of by something
stronger than an assumption.
The issue is plain. We have charg-
ed the operators with dealing with a
serious business matter in an unbusi-
ness-like manner. The position thus
taken has been assailed in private
ways-never in any open, public
manner. We do not assume that ST.
lence implies consent, but it looks
very much like any formal refutation
cannot be afforded. If we are wrong
and they are right, why not set US
right, and set their men right, and
permit the work to 60 ahead?
AS the matter stands, therefore, we
are right, and they are much in the
dilemma of an Ex-Governor of Geor-
gia, who once remarked:
never deny newspaper stories now.
An editor on one occasion printed ire
mendous accusation against me in paper
published in my own county, where it
reached the eyes Of all my family and
friends. denied it, of course, promptly
and Enthusiastically, over my own sigma
ture, and what do you suppose the fellow
did tLen? By George, sir, he proeed It!

TIE my BFFORE CHRISTMAS.


Slush and drizZle have not succeeded In
thinning the ranks of gift-hnyers crowding
the retail shops. There are signs not only OF
increasing prosperity, but of a development
of artistic perception, in the goods exhibited
and bought this season. Our people are
beginning to appreciate thorough rather
than snowy work, even in toys, and
to prefer the Oriental colors to the
false aniline tints which satisfied them
n few years ago. Advice as to matters OF
taste would. however, come too late this morn
ing, and be thrown away in any case. Every
man follows she dictates of hisown eye, if he
buys honestly But THE TRIBUNE has one
hint of counsel to give on this last day OF
buying. If the buyer would carry his desire
for truth into. the giving of the Christmas
tokens rs well as into the make and color OF
the gift itself, the whole affair would assume
different and higher aspect. Let us have
no sham and pretence in the matter.
With too many of us, Christmas gifts are
offered without an iota of real goodwill OF
feeling to pay off a social debt of some sort,
or because they are expected. Yet Christm@
is the birthday of Him who came to bring
truth and manliness and honesty into the
WOllu. Leu III tllc Hdlut VI Nctth',, hOcP
that one day, at least, free from falsehood.
1t Is the day sacred to Divine Love. Do not
let lis celebrate it by shallow show of affec-
ton for people 10 whom we arc utterly in
different.
Still worse sacriege of the reality of Christ
mas giving is it to make costly presents to our
well-tO-do friends about our hearths, while our
grocer and servants are waiting out in the cold
for the money we owe them and arc not able
to pay. a dollar justly paid is worth twice as
much as a hundred lavlshly given. Better is
Christmas dinner of herbs which are paid for
than state banquet where wine, meats and
entremets still belong to the trades
men who furnished them. To pay
their debts seems TO many, possibly,
dull celebration of the day, but we know OF
no way to make Christmas fires burn more
brightly on many hearths. The debt OF
dollar or two to seamstress or shoemaker,
which seems so petty to us and which we
"can settle with all others after New-fears,"
may make all the difference to them of cod
hearth and bare table tomorrow morning,
and share of the general happiness and
good cheer. But if we can pay our just debts
and give little away besides to kindle fires
on cold hearths and to cover bare tables,
happy are we.
