1t is difficult to get at the merits of
the controversy between the coal opera
ors and the miners which has caused the
present unfortunate coal famine. AS far
as Pennsylvania is concerned the strike
appears to be a sympathetic one, that
is the miners there have no grievance of
their own, but are striking merely to
help their Western brethren, who have
a quarrel about wages. 1t is said that
all the miners demand is 70 cents ton,
which does not seem any too much
when it is remem bered that as rule the
miners have to furnish their own blast
ing material such as powder and fire.
The operators will not pay it, however,
the strike seems likely to be prolonged
indefinitely. 1t is particularly disas-
trous strike, for coal is the basis of Sc

Dr.John f. Blackmer of Springfield,
Massachusetts, who, some years ago, was
the prohibition candidate for governor
OF that state, and has been holding the
office OF chairman OF the executive COM
mittee OF that party, has got himself in
20 trouble by giving his endorsement to
the Norwegian system of restricting the
liquor traffic. Finding his views unpal-
atable to the mem bers of the committee,
the Doctor promptly forwarded his res
ignation, but the committee concluded
not accept it until he had been given an
opportunity to retract. So sub-com-
mittee was appointed to call upon him.
The Doctor says he will not retract, and
will insist upon his resignation being
accepted.

The Cornell students who introduced
chlorine gas at freshman banquet and
succeeded in killing woman, are like
ly to go scot free. The grand jury
found no bill, simply because they could
get no evidence as to who the culprits
were, the students who were sup
posed to be in che secret absolutely re-
fusing to testify. If justice in New
York can be thus baked by the refusal
of a lot of undergraduates to tell what
they know in such serious case as this,
evidently New York justice needs toning
up. 1t this outrage had been committed
by lot of street hoodlu ms, we are n
clined to think that some way would
have been discovered to compel their
associates to tell what they knew about
it. 1t wouldn't have been looked upon
then as good joke.

Congressman Bryan of Nebraska an

quite easy to see the reason of his conf

Though the chances are that the Ala
bama Democrats will nominate Oates,
the administration candidate for gov
ernor, Senator Morgan is all right,
enough of the county delegations having
declared for him to put his reelection
beyond doubt Probably the admins
tration would much rather have seen
Morgan beaten than Oates nominated,
for he is not of the cuckoo species, and
has way of making it decidedly un-
pleasant sometimes for King Cleveland.
Still the administration has won some
thing of victory, and as it's triumphs
have been few and far between it will
be justified in making considerable
noise over it.

1t Mr.. Bayard has really notified the
British government that the United
States desires to Withdraw from thesstli-
partite agreement in respect to Samoa
and abrogate the treaty of Berlin, he
has suffered the humiliation of being
the official messenger of the surrender
of position which he maintained with
great vigor eight years ago when he was
Secretary of State under Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration. The tripartite
agreement was his own invention and
his arguments in favor of it were very
strong and convincing. To have to sur
render them at the command of man
who only stepped into the Democratic
party after he had been virtually kicked
out of the Republican must make the
courtly Bayard feel like indulging in
some uncourtiy remarks.
