TRENTON, April so, 1S94.-Over four nun
dred young men in New Jersey have been
receiving an education. as they thought, ct
the expense Of the State, but facts turn out
that the State has failed to pay for their
tuition. These young nlenare mostly farmers
sons, whos on competitive examination, held
every June for the past four years, have
captured q free scholarship ct the State Col
lege, located at New Brunswick, upder the
Free Scholarship law passed in 1880, and
signed on the 31st day Of March of that year.
The act for these scholarships provides
that payment shall be made only out of the
fund for the support Of public free schools
after the appropriations made payable to the
same fund are provided for. Because OF
these conditions the State College has never
received any money, and there is $39,9I2
due the Trustees for the education Of young
JerseyYnep. In 1890 IS received scholar
ships. 1901, 42; 1892, so; 1893, Oh. Yhe col
lege Is now e~ndeavoring to get some OF this
lature, and Senator Adrian has introduced
a bill to require the State Treasurer to pay
the State Agricultural College the money
due 1t under the original free scholarship
act so as to give the State Treasurer war
rant to make some payment on this ac-
count.
So far the college has only received 81
500 for any purpose ~whatevay, and unless
this LEGISLATURE comes to the relief Of the
college, these free scholarships wil have to
cease, which would deprive d number Of
bright young Jerseymen of a chance to get
a liberal education.

Fhs Great Coal Strike.

What a pleasant thing it would be
II, for the neKt six months, the news
papers could conscientiously have a
word of hope and encouragement to
give to the public every Monday
abouttho progress of business revival
and the prospects ahead. But, as
suredly they can never do this SO long
as the people themselves conspire in
hundreds of thousands to clog the
wheels of industry, to put a drag OIL
trade. to stop the production of wealth
and to shake commercial confidence
into cold sweats of inertia.
The past week stands on record as,
with one exception, perhaps, the mad
dest, She most destructive, the most
unpatriotic that has eve occurred in
the history of the laboring classes
Of the United States. The strike of
the coal miners comes second only to
the great railroad strikes pf 1877 in
its blind seIiskness and total imprac-
ticabiIitysa 1t exceeds the uprising of
1877 In Mischievcusness, in that it
strikes more directly at Industry and
affects the earning capacity of vastly
more laborins men of other classes.
It Is also rendered more wicked and
fnischisyous than that of 1877 through
the we'll known conditions of the
times, the general state of ~shrinkage
and depression. conditions which are
just as we'll known to the strikers as
to ell other classes Of the popula-
ton.
Much as has been gained through
the organization Of labor, events like
the present afford only too much JUS
tifcation for the remark SO often
made that the union workingman is
his own worst enemy. Here are these
miners striking for q small increase of
pay. TO gain it-or rather, for tho
doubtful chance of getting 1t, they
give up all pay for an indefinite
time. Fhey have ,alreadyEgone for a
week without earning a cent. II the
money they thus deliberately forfeit
were canned. 1t would. if divided up,
pay the incfease for which the men
are striking throughout the summer
months. In other words, the men
lose in q weeks idIeness more than
the increase would amount to in three
months. OF course, this argument
would apply in q tense to any strike
But we have no desire to push it to
extremes. There are times for strikes
as there are ~justiaable occasions for
homicide. But there is no iustihcaS

ton for the willful waste involved in
strike at a crisis like the present, at
a periodaof national poverty and stag
nation, when thousands are starving,
and even the rich are Strengthened In
their INCOMES. Least of all, Is there
any justification for a strike. which
throws ten other men out OF work for
every idle striker. This Is a monstrous
| selishness which threatens absolute
ruin to the whole country. vs. are
told that there are about 147, 900 coal
miners on strike. In about a week it
is certain half a million of men will be
without work or pay on account OF
the famine in fuel.
No wonder the movement in bust
ness was retrograde. not progressive.
But while we condemn the men who
so i'll choose the time for the assertion
Of their wrongs, let us not omit TO say
a word about the heartless tyranny
which has goadei them to their pres
ent insane revolt. The history of the
coal mines of this country is its black
est industrial chapter Starvation
and oppression hold the miners and
their families in relentless grasp.
Hard. hopeless toll, houses of squalor
and misery, food barely sufficient to
keep life alive and conditions of total
incivilization as TO surroundings an d
general treatment are the conditions
OF labor in a field of production pro-
tected to the prohibitive point by sue
cessiye Republican tariffs.
Only a couple of weeks ago the goal
barons of the country, who rob the
consumer while they starve the pro-
Queer, succeeded in getting u Ma
tional House of Lords to restore to
coal the high protection which liberal
Democratic Craftsmanship sought to
remove. The plea al that the tarif
was needed to keep up the pay OF the
mine operatives. Here, we have the
practical comment of events on this
plea in the shape of one of the hugest
strikes on record,-a strike against
mere starvation and slavery.
Cannot the workingman be got to
see that this protection is fatal to him.
With free trade in coal, the domestic
mine owners dare not suspend produc-
ton SO long as the demands of the men
were within any sort OF reason. They
dare not surrender the market to for
eign producers.
AS it is, they do as they please.
They own the market. Fore igners
cannot afford to touch it, and so they
are willing to close their mines and
wait until their werknen are abso-
lutelv starved into submission.

The Rev. NJ. l.. Gates of Grace NJ. E.
Church, Marion, preached a sermon, last
evening upon s'Heaven and Hell,n or s'The
Sheep and the Coats His text was taken
from the 25th chapter of Matthews, 10th
verse, These shall go away into e~verlast-
ing punishrient-but the righteous into life
eternal" He spoke upon mans conscience,
and explained low q small sin was as much
an offense against God as q greater one.
Previous to his sermon he delivered a pre-
lude upon temperance in the public schools
of this State. Among other things, he said:
"The West is far ahead of the East in this
respect. When I first came to this city and
State I was ashamed to be classed
as a member of it, the Legislature being SO
corrupt. ] am glad to say, however, ID Is
much better now, and If it keeps on improy-
ing In the future as it has in the past two or
three years, 1t will soon be perfect, and |
will be proud Of my citizenship. Since the
Legislature has changed they have passed a
law which provides that the teachers Of the
Public Schools shall instruct children to be
temperate. This law Kansas had eight
years ago, and we are just getting it now.
] hope the tirne will soon come when the
Legislature of New Jersey will pass laws the
same as the Kansas Legislature, and then,
