DR. Crosby, speaking of the liquor traffic, said tho
other night: If it is proposed to combine in this
matter against good morals. the people will rise in
their might to oppose them" We hope they will,
but as a matter of fact the combination against
good morals has for some time been IN operation,
and good many of the people do not appear to
have been able to realize the truth.

There is no doubt that the present system of

serious abuses and extravaganza, as set forth in

The prosperity of the coal companies was fOrcibly
illustrated by the annual statement of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western made public on Tues
day, which fully justified the mention previously
made by the The TRIBUNE. 1t was said some time
ago that the net earnings for the year 1888 were
over ii per cent, according to the cOmpany's
accounts, and the exact ratio appears to be 14.15
per cent. But the company really earned even more
than this if the of 81 ,072 816 charged to ex-
pense account was expended for construction and
equipment" as the statement says. Including that
sum- the net earnings would be over Is per cent
but it is probable that part of the expenditures
for eouipmcnt and possibly for construction, was
in the nature of renewals. Still, with all possible
allowances, the report indicates great degree OF
prosperity both in this company and III the lmpor-
tant trade with which it is identified.
That Virginia Democrat who has presented
resolution in the Legislature in favor OF territorial
reservation for colored people ought to buy himself
a Trustworthy watch Evidently he does not know
what time it is. He must be laborng under the
impression that this is the ninth instead of the
nineteenth century.
The bidding for the new Pennsylvania loan, even
TO the most chronic crOakers must seem an evidence
of reviving public confidence. Drexel & Co. are
quoted as stating that the bids were four times the
amount wanted, and the loan WAS closed at 9S and
interest. Such bidding for a 4i9 per cent bond
shows not only that there is great deal OF money
looking for Investment but that confidence III the
wel-managed corporations il much stronger than
il was q while ago. After the loan was closed, a
premium was at once bid for tho bonds. The Penn
sylyania. il is true has been well-managed and
successful company. But 1t IL grave mistake to
suppose that there are not many others which de-
serve and have the confidence of sagacious in
vestOrs.

4 SUGGESTOY TO MR.. MORRISON.

Your tariff bill, Mr.. Morrison, is not what
might be called an eifulgent success. Your own
party friends in Congress are divided in regard
TO its wants, for while some of them think it
will do, Others declare that it won't do at all.
And the dissenters are gaining in influence and
numbers every day.
Next time, Mr.. Morrison, you purpose con-
structing a tariff measure, decline to rely upon
your own unaided wisdom. Let the job out to
the individual who holds the original receipt
for making punch. You will remember that
the father of all such as make punch held that

The proposition to lowatestatOrtO prove his
will and his sanity in his lifetime is finding
widespread favor. 1t is "a law in Michigan 1t is
desired to make it a law in NewYork and Mary
land. In the Michigan statute and in the
MARYLAND bill the testatOr is allowed to keep
the contents of the documents secret, but in the
measure before our Legislature this is not per-
1aitted. There is a good deal of force in the
argument that if a man is obliged to disclose the
contents of his will before it can be proved he
will be less apt to dispose of his estate upjustly.

given more or less study to the great in

last, Mr.. John Baxter, formerly Of the
Acme mines, of this city, but now super
intendent of the. mines Of the North
western Fuel company. arrived at What
Cheerwith party of colored men from
Muchikinock, comprising about twenty
families, who we're travelling by their
own conveyance, and whose purpose it
was to educate the large importation, of
colored help expected every day from
Virginia, in the art Of coal mining. No
sooner had they entered the town before
the party was notified by several citizens
that they could return at once, as they
were not needed there. Needing not
this gentle hint, the party proceeded on
thelrSway toward the mines, when the
infuriated people gathered in an armed
mob, and attacked the party openly in
the streets. The occupants of the wagons
were ordered out and the wagons were
turned over into the ditch, and the
colored men were ordered to leave the
city, in not few cases at the muzzle of
a revolver. One colored man is reported
to have got ball in the shoulder, which
may result seriously. This kind of treat
ment greatly excited the timidity Of the
colored people, and all but mere hand
full of men forsook their superinte endent,
and left the city at once. The residents
of What Cheer are determined to exclude
the cheap and ignorant miner from their
midst, and if the company insist on
bringing these odious recruits, there is
bound to be serious trouble, as the un-
employed white men are becoming des-
perate, and have the universal sympathy y
of the town. 1t was reported at Oska-
loosa to-day that Mr. Baxter had re-
turned with the few colored men that
remained with him. the atmosphere
being too hot for him. The company
are equally as obstinate and declare that
they will employ the colored men If they
desire, Notwithstanding the menaces Of
the mob. A dispatch was received at
Muchikinock Thursday, notifying the
local company to send on 100 armed and
Equipped, colored miners at once, but it
is impossible to find any that want to
undergo the hazardous venture. It is
feared that there will be bloodshed over
the matter yet.-Ottumwa Saturday

Editor Labor Enquirer.
Coal CREEK, August 27.-On June "a,
the. Canon City Coal company notified
their employees that reduction Of is
cents per ton would 60 into effect on the
first Of July. The men objected to the
cut as unjust and since then have done
Ino work.
There are many Italian miners here
which the Atchisoh, Topeka and Santa
Fe company have shipped In at. the rate
Of SIS per head, and these are the men
who are now most in need of assistance.
1t is not that the companies like the
italians more than the practical miners,
but because they wish to undermine
practical miners withSt their cheap labor,
which is proved by the fact that as soon
as they have by this means reduced
white miners to the lowest scale of
WAGES, they want the Italians no more,
and SO ship, them to other districts to
starve othersin the same manner and
for the same object
The practical miner in this land of
liberty has much to contend with-on
one hand he has the Mexican, on the
other the Italian both Of them
being contentto be treated like dogs and
receive dogs fare.

pie toarise and defend themselves and
demand a far days pay for iair days

Efended and protected. and to thisAend a
