We print to-day the evidence taken
before the railroad commissioners last
week. We think it conclusively proves
that the railroad and coal companies are
practically under IL management;
that all other coal operators are dis
eliminated against; and that so or 60
cents per ton for hauling coal to Kan
sas City is a full, ample and remunera-
tive rate for the railroad. In Ohio
where there is any coal trade to amount
to anything the railroads haul it at from
81 to 81 cents per o for the first fifty
miles, and at a less rate for the distance
over that. These rates they make
themselves, the commissioners rates
being higher. The examination will
be resumed at Jefferson City next
Wednesday, after which we hope the
commissioners will fix the freight rate
at such a price that our coal miners
| can do business.

one would judge that its projectors

Herr Most and other agitatOrs de-
clare themselves greatly delighted at
the London riots, and they say that
American workingmen are preparing
for an outbreak. 1t is just such blath-
erskites as this Herr Most and his con-
freres who bring reputable work peo-
pie into disrepute. Every time a meet
ing called to redress the real grievances
of laboring mel and women is suffered
to degenerate into a riot, the cause of
labor is to that extent retarded. Even
a verv ordinary intellect ought to be
able to grasp that fact, and yet the
Herr Mosts would have the working
men believe that their interests are to
be subserved by disorder. One firm
yet orderly strike such as that at Sc
dalia, will do more good than a dozen
snch disgracetul strikes as the II that
took place in St. Louis. Every intelli-
gent friend of labor will agree to that.
Strikes and boycotts are crude and I'M
satisfactory weapons, which probably
must be used until better means offer,
but when they are resorted to nothing
should induce an honest workingman
| to permit himself to be used as an in
strument of confusion and anarchy.
| There are many good reasons why in
all their efforts for reform the work
ingmen should carefully eschew vio-
lence, but the paramount one is, that
when they indulge in riotous acts they
first ALLEVIATE the sympathies of other
people, and worse than that they force
all society to,for the time being, antag-
onize them, because upon the prin.
ciplc that self preservation is the first
law of nature, the prerequisite to al
proper action is order.

WARNING FOR TWO YEARS
HENCE.


Early in the canvass, when nearly, II
not quite all the newspapers In Congress.
man Mills district were qulescent.
through over-conhdence as to his pros
poets, THE GAZETTE warned him of the
fierce fight that would be made against
him. II was at the eleventh hour that
Mr. Mills and his friends awakened TO
~ fact that mis- fences were IN danger;
and then they went to work like Troians
snatehing victory from what had nearly
been defeat. II THE GAzKTTE's admoni-
lions had been needed Mr.. Mills would
have polled a much larger vote than he
did, On the principle that "a miss is as
good as mile" it may be urged that
Mills Is very well content as IL is, etc,
and that his majority of G0O0 ought to
satisfy him. II this reasoning satisfies
lhe congressman, Of course THE GA
zETrR cannot complain; but 1t NAV be
answered that the old msiority of $4,000
Is In the district yet, and Mills ought to
have had 1t or something very near il.
The reduction goes TO show that there
was something wrong, and 1t was in Mr..
Mills power, II he had gone to work
right, to have made the result quite
different. 1t is two years until another
election and THE GAZETTE tenders Mr..
Mills another warning right now. 1t is
this his fences Will need the most care
tul attention during those two years.
The danger will not consist In DIR.
Rankin's or any other opposition candi,
dates strength at the polls, but In the
ambition OF members of Mr.. Mills own
party He will have his light to make 10
the nominating convention OF his district.
There are Democrats who want his place
and strong fight will be made for II.
rHE GAZETTE rejoioes that Mr.. Mills
was reelected this year, and 1t will be
I glad to see him have long tenure of
oliloe yet. He Is useful man in con-
gress, and his usefulness Is OF the contin.
nous kind, This is the reason why it is
desirable he shall remain In congress as
long as he chooses TO stay there, and this
is the reason why this second warning is
rendered him. He viii see before he Is
TWO years older Gas he sees now In re-
gard to the late cAmpalgu) that the ad.
monition Is timely.
