Mr.. Conkling writes TO 4 brother Re
publican lamenting the falling OF Of
principle in the party.
"Quite ont of the current now myself,
says he, land powerless to influence the
councils of those who manage and direct,
shall hope for the best and trust that
the leaders will find some way to bring
back the earnestness and wisdom which
now, as much as ever since the war, are
needed, and which would make the panty
again victorious and a blessing TO the
country" Which read between the lines
means that Mr. Conkling thinks it viii
not be wisdom, nor insure victory for the
Republicans, to again nominate Dir.
Blaine.

ia that If the State establishes a school of
medicine with authority to grant di-
plomas a second examination by Board
of Examiners in order to make better

If the faculty of school of medicine
is not competent to judge Of The capacity

then there ought to be another faculty
chosen. We prefer to leave the discus
sion to professional men, but this Is the
way it looks TO the average citizen.

The most enthusiastic strikers In the Schuylkiu
mining region Just now are the Italians and Hun
gsrtanS who came 20 this country originally TO
take the places OF Americans, Irish, English and
Welshmen, who could not ind work to do, or were
unwilling 70 do what was found for them
whether this fact contains more interesting sug-
i;estions Tor the capitalists who import that kind
VI labor. or for the workmen, who, by thrir quar-
rels with their employers, have In the past en-
Outraged It's importation. Is open question, and
me well worth considering from both points OF
VIEW
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1888-01-19

There Is no change apparent In the situation In
the Schuylkin valley beyond the further harden
Ing OF feeling on both sides Although President
Corofn Il accused OF undue sfubbornness, q like
accusation Is not withheld from the miners also.
II seems that the deputation OF business men from
Pottsville who attempted to act as mediators felt
great deal OF sympathy with the strikers until the
Hszleton assembly, after the failure OF their enort
adopted resolutions contemporary rebu<ing them
FOR making IT. This was not the sort OF treatment
the committee mad a right TO expect from the men
whose cause they had espoused, and the mer-
chants o. all the rest OF the district are said 70
share the indignation Of their Pottsvilie brethren.
The ides among them seems to be that the miners,
by inxrartude, have forfeited the sympathy OF the
business community, and that the merchants, for
their protection will nave TO cut on the credit
heretofore extended TO men on strike. II they
carry out this purpose it will make good deal OF
Terence with the ability OF the strikers to con-
tinue their revolt especially II the company should
put new men at work In the mines and pay the
merchants for supplies furnished these substi-
tuteS Meanwhile the New York state Trades As
sembly mas adopted resolutions directing atten-
ton 70 an alleged design OF the Reading
company to import pauper labor. II such
plan "a really on foot the federal
authorities at any port where the attempt IS made
Win be pretty sure to nip 1t In the bud. The law
has thus far been very rigidly enforced and the
work1nginen OF this country have reason TO fear
that their rights will be disregarded. The danger
70 the striking miners Of the schuyIkin district
comes not 30 much from imported foreign paupers
- from the great multitude Of American iaborers
thrown suddenly out OF employment, In the midst
Of winter, By the shutting down Of furnaces and
mills ON account OF the scarcity OF coal TO run
them.
