THE STRIKE.

The Reading coal miners and the rail
road bands are no, situated alike in Tho
pending strike, and the wisest thing for
the miners Is 10 fight their own battle, II
they are bent on a battle, without any
complications with the railroad EN-
ployes. The miners claim that they are
entitled to q certain advance / N wages
and have stopped work, all OF which
they have a perfect right TO do.
But the railroad hands stopped work
because the road would persist in deal
ing with people distasteful to them
That is, they objected to a railroad
carrying freight for certain people
though, as common carriers, the road was
bound by law to do 1t.
OF course the railroad company can
not make a settlement with the employees,
when in doing so they would be pledged
TO refuse TO do business as required by
law, and when the miners put their cause
in with the railway hands they merely
make it impossible to win, as q separate
settlement with each set would be then
prevented.
Mr.. Davis, chairman of the Miners
Committee, telegrapbs to Bradstreets
that 10000 miners and $1,000 railway
hands have made common cause. Per
haps Mr.. Davis has anticipated a little,
and it Is to be hoped that he has been so
far previous as to leave time for sensible
reflection before so foolish a step is
taken.

During the past year the quantity OF
pig iron produced in this country proba-
bly, exceeded Z 900, 900 net tons. Accord
ing to returns collected by the Iron and
Steel Association, the actual production
during the first half of the year was
3,4l7, 9O9 tons, about 81, 200 n more than
the estimate based upon the monthly re-
turns Of capacity Of furnaces in blast
published by ''The American Manufac'
turer" Of Pittsburg. The reduction in
furnace capacity in December has pro-
baby been as great as in November; if
10, the returns for the last half of
the year indicate the production of
$780, S4 tons, and supposing that the
actual production will outrun the esti-
mate, only a third as much for this half
as for the first half Of the year, the pro-
duction will exceed 100000 tons for
1887. This would give an increase of
nearly 10 per cent over 1886, for in that
year the production was 6,S06,6SS tons,
having gained 40 per cent. over 1885,
when the production was only 4,529,s69
tons.

ENTERPRISE AND PROGRESS.

The Electric railway ran Its cars over
the line yesterday successfully. aud We
congratulate the gentlemen who have
performed this work and drawn the eyes
of the world on Richmond rs a place OF
advanced ideas.
The TIMES had a representative on the
first car that ever ran on the line on
Church Hill some months ago, but ever
before that, when the track was being
laid, we invoked the support OF our peo-
pie TO a new enterprise at the time when
II only had the form of a doubtful expe-
rimeni, and was handicapped with a lot
of idle talk about the political ideas of
its sponsors. II was to be presumed that
whenever men of business and men of
scientific knowledge put up a big lot o.
money for an enterprise they know a
good deal about what they can do.
Upon that theory the TIMES took the
part of the Electric Railway Company
from the very start aud we have only to
say now that if there should be any dill
icully in the way of a complete success,
we will continue to advocate the scheme
with confidence in the purpose and ability
of its sponsors.
This is the public spirit that Richmond
needs, and we wish 10 impress on the
people of Richmond that they should at
once and always sit down on the old
fogy spirit that discourages new enter
prises and sees only the jaundiced side
of ambition.
Says the old and honored philosopher,
Nothing risk, nothing VIM and it is so
true that it may be brought down to the
fact that a man cannot walk out OF his
house to attend to business without
some risk.
The thing is to understand that the
Lord helps him who helps himself" and
we should let no new and practical plan
pass without giving it our support.

The minority report of the Pacific
Railway Investigation Commission con
tains some remarkable statements.
According to this report the Pacific
railway received from the Government
$447, q 1000 or more. Now in the report
OF the majority of the committee we find
that the aid extended by Government to
all the Pacific roads, including bonds and
lands. amounts to $97, 80,4S0. Here is a
difference at the start of over three hun
dred and fifty million dollars between the
minority and majority upon The essential

these companies by the Government.

formed sven If after that we have to in.

A Conservative feeling founded on the
ideas that can make a period of prosperi-
ty for the State of Virginia is what we
want.
The press and the politicians ought tc
see that the representation for 1890 is SC
promising that Virginia ought not TO be
left out in the great deal that We under,
stand is being worked up.
Mercantile communications have been
multiplied. Men have learned more
about the arts and sciencies and the labor.
ing men have been educated. A great
country draws its vital strength from the
masses of the people, and America edu'
Gates its masses to know all the ways and
means of progress and improvement.
We need in Virginia what the TIMEs
pointed Il a year ago, a school of me-
chanical arts, where the ambitious you'll
may cultivate his hand and mind in iht
line of the modern idea of practical
skill.
This is the way to make men to govern

mass of the people, and constitute 4;

II THEY WEAR.

Beige is favorite color for both day and
evening td-ets.
Tucks are likely 10 be revived as a garni.
ture for dress skirts.
When two fabrics are used on very rich
pri1cesse dresses the fronts Of the corsage are
different.
Chine cloths are new. These have dark
| colored grounds, with indistinct designs in
two or more harmonizing colors.
A new principle has been devised for cut
ting dresses Of checkered materials, thereby
minimizing the number OF SEAMS.
Wide fchu collars Of plush. that cover the
shoulders and are pointed in front, are used
upon short cloth cloaks with pleasing effect.
When passeinenterie il uSsf upon black
dresses. apple green, cherry red or white
silk is often inserted beneath the gimp, with
excellent effect.
Same new black jackets of English manu-
facture have heavy cord epaulettes, and
show a narrow waiscoat Of red cloth, bor-
dered with gold buttons.
A new braid is silk soutache, edged with
gold or silver. A charming dress OF gray
striped WOODEN was decorated with gray
braid, edged with silver, laid upon gray
pOult de sole.
Novel boas are made VI Ice wool IN beige

A tailor made costume Of iinered serge had
tho entire bodice, from the throat to the

effective and becoming arrangement.
Peau de sole is receiving the attention Of
ladies who are purchasing silks. Ii Is firm

bon, which is seven or eight inches wide, has
inch wide stripes of velvet and repped silh.
New cloths having a border woven on one
edge are used for long cloaks, the border

c%olors, sometimes showing cashmere designs
A handsome wrap recently noted was Of
green plush, with shoulder pieces which
lengthen into hanging sleeves made Of green
cloth, heavily braided The garment was
fitted closely at tie back, and was long
enough TO cover the entire dress.
Braiding is, as every one knows, very fash
ionabie, in both wide and narrow braids, and
in every conceivable design. A novelty in
this line was worked in intricate patterns
with smooth ~rat-tail chenille, like that 50
popular in fringe two or three seasons ago.
now that plain skirts are preferred to all
others, much depends upon the perfection
with which they are hung and the arrange

1887; he was charged with breaking from
school end being concerned in a robbery

cember he was sentenced to the Reform
School. He deserted from there January
18th OF this year, and was not found I'M
til two or three days ago. He says he
has been hiding in the mountains, and
came down to have look at the fire pa
rade. He was found walking around
the streets.
