They say that Il is 80 low that they can
not make living; and yet, when the
country is in less prosperous condition
than It has been for years, when there
is almost a universal depression every
where the miners, as II influenced by
some well.nigh fatal impulse, have re.
solved to strike and thus deprive them.
selves Of even the small wages they we're
getting. They put themselves in the
condition Of no wages. hoping almost
against hope 20 secure better wages.
II is a struggle Of hope against hope,
because no strike within the memory Of
this generation has been successful in
raising or retaining wages. At this
time. when thousands are complaining
that they cannot find employment these
men resolve TO quit work because their
wages are not restored to the level Of
prosperous times.
This is pitiable situation; 1t threat
ems distress to all, and starvation to
some.
All strikes are foolish No strike Of
recent years has been right in itself or
advantageous to the strikers. But this
Is the most foolish strike, and calculated
to do more harm than any other strike
that has occurred within recent years.

The COAL STRIKE

The miners strike at this time is
particularly unfortunate for the miners
themselves and for every body, whoiin
the most remote degree, is connected with
the coal mining industry.
The wages Of the miners were already
low. They were as low, almost. as pro.
tective tariff could make them. As an
average, in Pennsylvania, they were
about one half the amount OF the protec-
tive tariff The pretended lovers Of the
American workingmsn who propose to
procure prosperity by the Mckinley law
had voted for a 75-cent pro .ectiv,
tariff per ton on bituminous coal Tn,
charitable coal operators who were pro
tscted by that bonus could spare only
the average Of about 40 cents ton to
the workingman.
This was certainly low enough. The
J miners themselves claim It is too low.

In House and senate.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Five hours were
spent by the senate in considering the tar
II bill by sections, but no progress was
made. The question under debate was the
date when the bill should take effect, and
Che entire afternoon was devoted to the
debate Of this question without reaching
anything like a conclusion. The discus
sion was quite animated, sometimes per-
Bonal, but always good natured
The only speeches made which were not
N the order of a running debate were
made by Senators Aldrich and Platt, both
Of whom pleaded for more time for the
manufacturers 10 prepare for the changes.
senator Palmer urged the speedy passage
of the bill, and Senator Allison offered an
amendment striking out the date upon
which the bill should take effect and leav-
.ng the date blank. All the amendments
were unacted upon when the senate ad-
lourned. A lively discussion was started
by Mr.. Gray, who made the point that
Mr.. Dolph was out of order in reading
from a recent speech in the house Of repre-
sentatives, and the vice president sustained
the point.

the Coxeyites in Montana have be.
trayed their true attitude towards

peace and good order Of the country.
This Is well. There are some foolish
people who needed TO be convinced that
a body Of vagabonds subsisting on the
country through which they passed Is
more dangerous than one vagabond
They were willing to apply the law
to suppress one yagabond; they
entertained vague notion that the law
was not applicable to many vagabonds
They have some vague notion that q

proves that vagsbonds, singly or In a
body, are neither lawful nor harmless.

TIM country will agree with Senator
Gray that the speeches read by the SEN
ators are neither sprightly enough for
essays nor accurate enough for statistics.
The speeches read In the Senate are bores
they are trite and useless. They are not
listened TO by the Senator's themselves; !;
they are not read by the people outside
II Senator Gray can be successful In
shutting them of he will save a great
deal Of time and possibly some blssphemy
in the Senate, while the so called speeches
themselves may be read In print
by any one who wishes to read
them just the same as II they had been
delivered in the Senate The old rule
was that little that had not been read in
the Senate should be published in the
Congressional Record, but that rule was
subject TO great latitude, aud worse
abuse Senator Gray is justified in com
planning that the members stand on their
feet as long as possible to read dreary
essays on subjects. and ask leave to print
as much more duh rhapsodies equally
unfit to be heard or read OF course,
there will be objections to what Senator
Gray proposes. There are always OBJ jections
to any sensible proposition that Is made
in the hearing OF the dear old Senators
but it Is barely possible that the improve
ment suggested by Senator Gray may b,
adopted. It would relieve the work Of
the Senators aud probably insure
greater number OF Senators in theil
seats. better dispatch Of business and
a great relief TO the people II the i'm
provement suggested could be made.

Unequal, Pay and Unequal Labor.


The senate is not only more digni-
fed, more awe-inspiring and more pre-
tentioas than the house, but it is also
more extravagant. The employees of
the senate receive better salaries than
the employees of the house. The sem
ate has proportionately a great many
more employees than are allotted 10 the
house. The lightweight senators en-
ploye forty-five messengers, and the
three hundred and fifty-six representa-
tives only ffty-one. The ratio is fully as
great as to other employees. The duties
Of the house employees are, therefore.
far more more arduous than those of
the employees in the senate. They
work six days week, while the senate
employees work only four. and get near
ly twenty-five per cent. more salary.
The sergeant-at-arms Of the house GER
tainly has more work to keep the &C
counts of the three hundred and fifty
six mem bers than the sergeant-at-arms
of the senate to keep the accounts Of
the lightweight senators And still he
gets far less pay. The senate usually
adjourns on Thursday over to Monday.
The house remains in session through.
out the week.
