If We could see any way TO make the
"cosl barons," as they begin to be called,
understand that the public is entitled TO
rights as well az the miners, We would
gladly show the way. But the coal
baron is as Stubborn as the miner. One
thinks that he has not money enough and
the other that he has not wages enough.
But pending the contest there Is one
delusion that the miner is made To suffer
in, and that is the alleged moral sup
port" Quite display has been made OF
the fact that $500 were collected. That
was about two o. cents head for the
striking miners in the Schuylkill and
Shamokin regions. Again. ii is displayed
that $1,000 have been received in the
last few days by the committee. That
sum would make about fourteen cents II
head for each of the strikers, or about two
(2) cents day per head. And this Is 10

The increase of the military forces of
Russia and the advance of her troops on

The situation is adroitly used to carry
that measure, and at the same time we
learn that the Austrian and Hungarian
ministers have measures for Increasing
the military forces. Now, II all the ALIENS

Cashier Hopkins of the Fidelity Ma
tional Bank of Cincinnati has been con-
yicted after an unusually short proceed
ure.
That which distinguishes these cases
from the majority of similar trials in this
country is the rapidity with which these
men have been brought to trial and con
yictions secured.
Bank wreckers generally give the law
long tussle and get all the chances Of
the laws delays.
In France justice is very prompt and
we called attention some time ago 10 the
last celebrated case which was brought
to close by the execution Of the
criminal thirty days after the authorities
got on the track of the murderer, who
had gotten oil and left the slenderest
possible clue To the crime. The principle
of prompt and fair trial is maintained
for the safety of society a. well as for
the sake of justice TO the accused.
Tardy punishment loses the force of the
example that is made OF the criminal,
and then the bubbles and technicalties
that are used merely encourage the next
malefactor TO take the chances when he
sees how one can run the gauntletOf a
long trial.
