WORK OR STARVE.

Gen. RUGER talks with wisdom re-
garding the solution of the Indian prob
lem. His suggestion that the Indians
be taught to work, and then be allowed
to make their choice between working
and starving. is only what every person
who has any knowledge Of the Indian
character would indOrSe. Even man
so well acquainted with the Indians as
Bishop WHIPPLE, and so warmly in
sympathy with their needs, declares
that so long as there are aims houses
just so long will there be pauper In
dians.
1t is Indian nature, and, indeed.
human nature, to get along thr ough
life with as little exertion as possible.
But very few people work for the fun
of it, and but few people would toll
from ''early morn till dewy eve" If a
kindly paternal government would OBJ
viate the necessity of work by contract
ing to pay all the domestic bills.
And that IS precisely the view til at
the noble savage takes of it. He
doesn't have to work. The govern
ment sees to it that he shall have all the
necessaries of life without turning over
his hand. He can hardly be blamed,
then. for accepting the situation. But

TRUTH CONCEALED.

1t now appears that the recent acct
dent on the Cincinnati Southern rail
road in Kentucky was much greater
than was at first reported. Although
the newspapers could at first obtain
nothing whatever regarding the disas-
ter until they sent representatives to
the scene, they have now discovered
that the railway company willfully sup
pressed the particulars and extent of
the accident.
This policy of obstinate silence OBJ
tainS with all railroad companies, but
why the truth should be concealed it
is difficult to see. At the time of dis
aster relatives of those supposed to be
in the wreck, as well as the newspaper
men, are invariably met with the re-
Spouse to their inquiries from the Off
Gals that they know nothing. The roads
gain nothing by maintaining silence.
The particulars CT disasters are bound
to be made public sooner or later, any
how. They simply keep people in a
state of heart-rending suspense to no
purpose whatever, and the reputation
of the road gains nothing. If some Of
the energy which goes into the work of
suppressing particulars of accidents
from becoming matters of general public
knowledge were expended in bringing
about more efficient and consequently
more vigilant management, there would
be fewer accidents to chronicle and
fewer occasions for resorting to subter-
fuge and evasion.
But when catastrophes do happen,
then the public should be given COM
plete and speedy information, and if
the companies continue to refuse it, the
law should be brought to bear as a
means of cOmpulSion.

THE MINERS STRIKE.

A strike among the coal miners in the
dead of winter is about as uncom-
Portable condition of affairs as could
well be imagined, particularly to the
millions who live in rigorous climates
and who are dependent on these coal
fields for their fuel. The strike in the
Pennsylvania coal region at this season
of the year is nothing more nor less
than a crime. The GLOBE does not
undertake to fix the responsibility of
the crime on the striking miners, be-
cause it rs not altogether improbable
that they have been forced to it by the
expressions of the coal barOns.
There have been so many recent
evidences of the disposition of the
lords of the black diamond fields
to be cruel and extortionate that the
public are prepared to believe them
capable of all sorts of atrocities. At
the same time we are not in possession
of sufficient information to know who is
responsible for the condition of affairs
in the Pennsylvania coal regions. But
we do know that as long as coal is the
product of COPS free sunlight and is
placed in the ground for the use of man,
il is crime for men or combination
of men to prevent its being utilized for
the purposes for which it was made, and
more especially when so much suffering
is likely to result from a prolonged
strike. This circumstance has a ten
dency to confirm the opinion already
limited at by the GLOBE, that the time
is near at hand when the government
will be compelled to take under its con-
troll the operation of our coal mines.
Fuel is too necessary an article to per-
nit its supply to be dependent on the
whims, or, what is worse still, the devil
ish motives, of spectators.

believed for years was intended to bene-

Whereas, We, as citizens of this re-

partial, and that no laws should be
enacted which confer special privileges

Resolved, That in the coming cleo

HOW DIMES ARE MADE.
Interesting Process Conducted in
the Great San Francisco Mint.

1t is not generally known, but the San
Francisco Chronicle says it is true, that
the United States mint, On Fifth street,
in that city, is the largest institution of
the kind in the world. Just at the pres
emf time there is lively demand for
silver dimes, and hundreds of thousands
of dollars OF them are being shipped
to New York, Chicago, Cincinnati,
st. Louis and other Eastern cities.
Two of the money presses have been
this coin. The demand is so great that
these machines are not even stopped on
Sundays, and will be run Oh that day
throughout the present month. The
process of dime making is an interest
ing one. The silver bullion is first
melted and run into twO-pOund bars.
These in turn are run through
immense rollers and flattened out to the
thickness of the coin. These silver
strips are then passed through ma
chine which cuts them into the proper
size for the presses, the strips having
been first treated with a kind of tallOW
to prevent their being scratched in their
passage through the cutters. The silver
pieces are then put into the feeder of
the printing presses, and are fed to the
die by automatic machinery at the rate
Of 100 per minute, As 600 dimes being
turned out in regular working day of
eight hours. AS the smooth pieces are
pressed between the ponderOuS printing
dies they receive lettered and figured
impression in manner similar to that
of a paper pressed upon form of type;
at the same time the piece is expanded
in slight degree, and the small corfu
cations are cut into it's rim. The ma
chine drops the completed coin
into a receiver, and it is ready for the
counters hands. The instrument used
by the counter is not complicated
machine by any means, as one might
suppose. 1t is simple, cOpper-colOred
tray, having raised ridges running
across its surface at distance apart
the exact width of the dime. From the
receiver the money is dumped on to
this board or tray, and, as it is shaken
rapidly by the coulter, the pieces settle
down into the spaces between the
ridges. All these spaces being filled,
the surplus coin is brushed back
into the receiver and the count
er has exactly 1850 silver dimes,
or Sl25, on his tray. which number is re-
quired to fill the spaces. The tray is
then emptied into boxes and the money
is ready for shipment. The dime does
not pass through the weigher's hands,
as does the coin of a larger denomina-
ton: One aud one-half grains is allowed
for variation or tolerance" in all silver
coins from dollar down, and the devia-
ton from the standard in the case of the
10-cent pieces is SO trifiipg that the
trouble and expense of weighing coins
of this denomination is dispensed with.

But will you like my bread?
You say you love me. You must know
Your words are sweet to hear;

They charm my willing ear.
But if you would win all my heart,
Possess my very soul

Lambs Becoming Extinct,

New YORK, Jan. GA committee of

to discover why tickets of membership,
which were worth $500 three years

investigating the subject. He suggests
the retirement of 500 members. This
would cost about $850,00O, but it would
increase the value of the remaining
$500 memberships $500 each, or 81 $780,

The strikers are now demanding more
wages or shorter hours; they have no
desire the dismissal of any of their fell
low workmen; nor are they clamoring
far recognition as union. In fact they
protest against being classed in the cab
met department, and demand that they
be recognized as separate and distinct
department and that foreman be APP

The Indian, too, can be easily taught
His native Ingenuity is, in many cases,
greater than that of the average white
man. He would readily acquire some
rough trade, which, with the govern

soon render him self-supporting. There
has always been great deal too much
sentiment mixed up with the considera-
ton of the Indian question. Now let it
be viewed with little common sense.
The Indians, with their landed pos

country, and an ariStocracy is foreign
to the spirit of American institutions.

Coal Advancing in Price,

dealers have not fixed upon uniform
scale of prices, the market being SO un-

is likely to occur at any time. A tour
of the city shows that few dealers have
more than a weeks supply of coal on
hand. The dealers predict that, from
present indications, coal will be selling
at from IS to $40 per ton within ten days
unless some measure is taken to relieve
the famine.
