EDITOR WALKER DROWNED.
He Fell Into the River While Fishing
at Weldon, n. G.

The body of E. d. Walker of Brooklyn, N.
T., managing editor of the Cosmopolitan Maya.
zine, who has been missing from Weldon, n. c.,
since Saturday last, was found in the Roanoke
river at Weldon yesterday by two colored men.
1t was floating on the surface of the water
near the railroad bridge. A watch and money
and private papers were found in pocket
Grasped in one hand was broken fishing rod
Mr.. Walker arrived in Weldon on Friday of last
week and registered at the Atlantic Coast Line
Hotel. Saturday morning he paid his hotel
bill and told the clerk that he intended going
down the river to fish and would return in
time to take the fast train south. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Walker met his death by accidental
drowning while fishing. His body will be
taken to Brooklyn by his brother-in-law for
lnterment. Mr.. Walker was COMPOUNDED al

IT SEEMS a small thing that has caused
the strike of the miners at the Rock Springs
coal mines Of the Union Pacific The COM
pany pays by the ton for mining the COAL
aid has been deducting e-fourth Of the
gross for slack. 1t is now proposed to do
the weighing after the coal has been
screened; the men object to this, and 200 OF
the n have quit work. The whole PROPOSE
ton seems SO trifing and ridiculous that
one is surprised that strike could grow
out of the matter-surprised tEat the min
ers would make the fight on such insignifi-
can't ground and that the company should
persist. We cannot but believe there is
something at the back of this disagreement
which does not appear. The company may
not be eager TO work the mines for a time,
and has taken this method of bringing
about lockout. The strike is to be re-
GREETED solely on account of the miners who
have not been so well paid that they can at
ford TO lie idle for even q few days. The
public is not likely TO suffer- because no
scarcity of coal will result even if the Rock
Springs mines shall be permanently closed

THE SILVER CONFEREES.

The Democratic members of the confer
erence committee On the silver bill did not
appear at the meeting on Saturday, and the
Republican members discussed among
themselves, first, whether 4, 500. 900 ounces
OF silver or 100000 worth shall be pur
chased monthly, and, second, whether or not
the bullion redemption feature should be
stricken out. OF course no conclusion was
reached, and it is to be hoped none will be
arrived at which falls short of satisfying
the demands of the people 1t makes no
difference whether four and a half million
ounces or four and half million dollars,
worth of silver shall be bought by the gov
eminent. If the matter is simply to be one
OF purchase, the present law is better than
the Hyuse bill. The law authorizes not
merely the purchase, but the coinage into
dollars of enough silver every month to
make four million silver dollars. and al
that would be required is the making of the
purchase of that amount mandatory instead
of permissive.
But 1t is not the purchase of silver by the
government that is desired If that were
all secretary of the treasury could solve
the problem and provide the relief without
legislation. What is wanted what is de-
is that silver be made coin metal.
with all the powers, duties. rights and priv
lleges of such metal. The people do not
ask that silver be coin metal or a mercan-
tile commodity according as an official or an
