The Strikers.

The critical period of the soft Goa
strike in Pennsylvania has come, and
the next 24 hours may decide whether
there shall be an immediate cessation
OF hostilities or prolonged war. The
strike leaders have agreed to put the
whole matter in the hands of Governor
Pattison as arbitrator, but they are UNI
willing to work for 40 cents per ton
On the other hand, the operators OF the
Clearlield district met in Philadelphia
and resolved not TO surrender an inch
and that they would parley with their
striking miners no longer, but would
Immediately procure new hands and
work their mines. even ii each work
man required the protection of deputy
sheriff The competition of Maryland
and Virginia coal has forced the Penn.
sylvania operators TO vigorous action
They also agreed not to pay more than
10 cents. Tie miners in Central Penn-
sylvauia demand 30 cents per ton foi
digging coal, while those in the ex-
IRENE western end Of the State are d
unit for 70-cent scale. This latter is
the same sum per ton that the miners
of the western States are demend-
ing. They have always received
better pay than the Pennsylvania men.
The operators have consented to meet
Governor Pattison TO day, and upon
the result Of this conference hinges the
fate OF this gigantic struggle. The gov
error may pursuade them to consent to
arbitration. IF they shall refuse anG
aflerward attempt to put their mines IN
operation. the fight will begin all along
the line from Dubois to the Maryland
line. The Governor says he is anxious
10 bring about a peaceful settlement,
but ne declares that the laws must be
obeved and order must be maintained.
Many striking miners and their families
in The Broad Top region are in desil-
tute condition but refuse to 90 TO work.
President Mcbride, of the United Mine
Workers Association. conferred with
the operators of Illinois at Springfield
Yesterday. He offered 10 set the men
to work if the scale should be signed.
Another meeting will be held on Thurs
day. Should Illinois sign the scale the
strike would collapse in the west.
In Indiana terrorism reigns, the strill-
ers stopping trains, and threatening TO
use dynamite.
Efforts are being made to have TIE
differences between miners and mine
owners in Colorado submitted 10 arhi-
tration. Governor Waite, of Colorado,
stated that State troops would not he
permitted to act as guards to mine
owners property.
A sensation was created in the Mary
land coal region by the order of three
companies to stop production and close
up their mines. About Homecoming
the strikers have been ordered to re-
move their tools from the mines. This
is equivalent to discharge. Organizer
Wilson and the striking coal miners
gave their testimony in the contempt
ofcourt case on trial at Cumberland.
The trial was not concluded.

State Can not pay the referred TO claims
because her Legislature has made no
appropriation for that purpose. because
the act creating the State OF West Vir-

SOME or the ignorant Northern re
publican newspapers are stimulated to
renewed attacks upon theSouthern peo-
pie because of the number Of Southern
claims before Congress. Their assaults
are by no means disagreeable to the as
sailed, whose only concern about the
claims referred to, is that, ifpassed, they
will be taxed TO pay their share OF
them. Every body at all familiar with
such claims knows that they are those
of "loyal" citizens. of whom there were
few of any account in any Southern
State during the war, and whose losses
were looked upon by their "disloyaI'
nei.hbors in the light of retributive
Justice.

NOTHING Is more common than 10
hear protectionists say that the pro-
tective tariff is paid by the foreigners
whose goods are imported. They talk
this way when on guard, but when off,
they forget and give themselves away
completely. For instance, one Of their
New York organs yesterday, in de-
nouncing the proposed tariff bill, refer
ing TO the forty per cent. duty on raw
sugar, says at is obvious that this
duty is added TO the price paid by the
consumer" Why, of course it is, and
so it is with the duty on all other ar
ticles. Fit were otherwise there would
be neither use nor sense in tariff bills.

ing in the North, judging from the de-
mands of many of the people of that
section that "the flag" shall fly over all
the public school houses there, and
that patriotism be taught the children
thereof. Patriots, like poets, are
born, not made, and the patriotism
that doesn't come naturally, and that
has to be acquired at school, cannot be
relied upon in time of need. The dis

The morning hour, or rather hall
