Matters in the Shenandoah District
Growing Worse

SHENANpoAH, Jan. 10.
Only one colliery in the entire Shenandoah
district is now in operation here, the Gambia
in the southern part of this town. The Will
liam Penn Coal company was forced to shut
down this morning. The company's stores
are closed against the strikers and SIMILAR ac-
ton is contemplated by many business men.
The Cambria company employs about 80
men, and but for it there would be a perfect
coal famine in the heart of the coal field.

TIE necessity Ct labor for human
happiness is at present strikingly
shown in the state prisons of New
York. Owing to some neglect by
the legislature, the convicts are lett
without employment. The result is a
great increase in insanity. One of the
physicians recently resigned, giving as
a reason that constant idleness would
produce condition of misery that he
would be powerless to alleviate Besides.
as men are constantly going insane. the
danger to keepers, physicians and
attendants increases. While kept at
work, comparatively few become sick,
and only occasionally does one become
insane. Idleness has filled the hospital,
and an average Of three every week be-
come manageable, and are sent off to
the insane asylums. It really seems
chat when convict is sentenced to a
term Of years at hard labor he is enti.
tied TO relief if the conditions are not
in all respects fully complied with. Con-
6nement in idleness may indeed be 80
much worse than confinement at work
as to come within the list of cruel and
unusual punishment forbidden by the
United States constitution.

Tory supercillGusness, say the Mon
treat True Witness and Catholic Chron
icle, was we'll exemplified by Premie,
Salisbury's cadish allusion to distin'
guished Hindoo gentleman as "blach
man." Although softening Of the
Anglo Indian phrase, ''nigger." black
man is hardly less offensive. The Hin
docs are of the same racial root as the
English, and are not more swarthy than
some Englishmen. Black man, in it's
accepted meaning, as descriptive of the
negro African, is therefore misnomer.
In itself 1t is not offensive, for there
are many African negros superior to
many white men. 1t is the manner in
which the term is used which consti-
tutes the offense. A true gentleman
would never be guilty Of wounding the
feelings Of another by insulting refer
ences to color. 1t was gross breach Of
good manners as well as piece of
arrant stupidity for Prime Minister OF
England to use term which he must
have known would give deep offense to
millions of educated, enlightened Brit
ish subjects in India. Lord Salisbury
therefore deserves the severe rebukes
administered to him by the press of
England for his mean and spiteful
actions.

Never. The war is over, and, except

who were in the Confederate armies,
and who have lived up to the terms of

in good standing, loyal to day, whatever

the brigadlers who have been 50 fussy
