tirely occupied by great fleet of steamboats,,
tugs and craft OF ever description, all decor
ated with bunting and loaded down with hun
dreds of people eager TO witness the cere-

one cause for irritation among the Alabama
coal miners viii be shortly removed. The
dispatch says that the state authorities, who
have heretofore kept the conyicts employed
by leasing them TO nilue owners, thus bring
ing them into competition with free labor,
have decided on another piln. The state has
purchased tract OF 2,5c0 acres of land on
which the couyicis Will be placed In tempo
rary quarters and where they will be eu-
ployed for some time In building permanent
penitentiary. When that ia completed, and
it is expected that the work will occupy sew
eral years, they will be used In raising their
own food supply snd In similar occupations
which will not bring them into the general
labor market. The lease system. as con
ducied In some Of the states, has been subject
to many abuses and IS VERY much behind
modern and improved methods of prison
management IL is to be hoped that the ex-
ample thus set by Alabama will be followed

The largest scheme OF co-opera-
tion ever proposed is probably thas
which is now being considered in
England and which looks to the
union Of all the coal interests in the
United Kingdom. The plan, which
has just been formulated after a
years consideration, provides that
the lessees of all the British coal de-
posits shall combine in single
union and divide up the profits of
the operations between the share
holders and the workingmen. The
output, it is thought, will be about
145, 900, 900 tons and capitalization
$500, 900, 00a One OF the most uni
que features of the enterprise is that
which provides that the price of
coal shall be fixed by the lord chief

THE threatened bankruptcy of
Italy excites increasing uneasiness
in Europe. Trouble of one kind or
another seems to be inevitable.
What is happening is this: Italy
has practically reached the end of
her financial rope. Her expendi-
lures are continually greater than
her income. and the question with
her is not whether it is wise to bor-
row, but where she can get the
money. The taxation screw has
already been twisted to the very last
turn the people will stand. Tho
Italians demand impossibilities of
their government They insist upon
being kept in their position in the
front row of European "high poll
tics. and yet they are unwilling or
unable to pay the costs which that
position entails. They are sailing
race in gale with their main sheet
tied in a double knot. Something
Is bound to break and Europe is
anxiously watching to see what it
will be.
