Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 4.-The first busi-
ness before the convention Of operators
and miners of the Pittsburg Railroad
district today was the report of the
joint committee on the price for min
ing. The committee having failed to
agree, the question of rates was placed
before the open convention and the en-
tire morning session was occupied in
discussion. The miners proposition
was: Seventy-four cents per ton cash,
January 1st to April 1st and 70 cents per
ton April 1st to December 31st, 1896. The
operators proposed that the uniform
rates should be CA cents per ton to April
1st and 70 cents April 1st to December
31st. Payment by order at company
stores Is not considered by either side
to the question.
There are Indications favorable to
compromise wage rate, possibly at the
terms suggested by the operators.

THE WALLER CASE.

The case of ex-Consul Waller has
been before the public for some time
and there has been more or less criti-
cism of the administration for not tax
ing decisive action and making a per-
emptory demand upon France. This
criticism has overlooked the fact that
diplomatic negotiations take what
seems to the general public very long
time and people become impatient. It
has been so in the Waller case. But
the late Secretary Gresham, nor Secre-
tary Olney, could not give Ambassador
Eustis instructions to make a sharp
and peremptory demand on France
that she furnish this government with
a complete transcript of the proceed
ings of the court martial that tried
and sentenced Waller, or that he be
released at once. To have done so
would have been to have violated dip
lomatic usage and prejudiced the gov
ernment's case. But diplomatic usage
has been complied with to the fullest
extent. and France given all the time
that she could possibly ask to con-
slider our request; and now the state
department, it seems, has arrived at
the conclusion that she is extremely
dilatory in the matter. This dilatori-
ness has become so aggravating that
it amounts to heedlessness, if not &C
tual contempt. and a peremptory de-
mand is to be made for Walters re-
lease. 1t should be made at once. and
measures taken TO see that it is COM
piled with. The sentiment of the coun-
try is such that it will back the admin
istration in all its demands. Extreme
demands by one great nation on an
other are not to be made lightly, nor
without full consideration, but there
are times when they should be made.
and this Waller case is one. Patience
has ceased to be a virtue. Let the
demand for Walters release be made
at once. ~

WISE LABOR LEADERS.

America, as a rule, has been FORUM
ate in the men who have been elected
to the leadership of the vast labor or
CARNATIONS. Conservatism has almost
uniformly marked their administration.
They have not followed in the footsteps
of the agitators of Europe in yielding
their better judgment to the dictation
of socialists or in permitting their or
CARNATIONS to be made the tool of as
piring politicians. They have accepted
our form of government as a legacy of
freedom sufficient in all respects to the
ends of justice. They have prudently
confined their efforts to the accomplish
ment of the objects of labor by lawful
means. Strikes, lockouts and those
contentious between capital and labor
which are fruitful of so much suffering
and loss have been resorted to as a
last means. The use of force has been
discouraged and the spirit of compro-
mise has been encouraged. OF course
there have been frequent and disas-
trous exceptions to these rules. But
in Powderly, Gompers, Arthur, Nc
CURE and others, labor has had good
adviser and the law a strong ally.

oLNEY's AVAILABILITY AS A CAN.
DIDATE.

The Springfield Republican comes out
in a lengthy article in favor of Secre-
tary of State Olney as the Democratic
nominee for president in 1885, 1t says
that the Democracy cannot expect to
make a hopeful appeal for popular
favor by presenting a partisan, chiefly
known as such. This of course is true.
! and any nominee will have to have
! those qualifications that fit him for the
! high office he seeks and that commend
| themselves to popular favor. At
ter saying that the successor
Of Mr.. Cleveland on the Demo-
cratic ticket must be strong
man, of transparent character, of
great ability and resourceful energy,
it declares that "such a man is Richard
/ Olney, of Massachusetts"
Mr.. Olney may be such a man or he
may not; the country does not know
him so well as do the people of Massa-
chusetts. That he is able is true, that
he is honest there is no doubt, but that
he is available is a matter to be con-
! sidered. To the nation at large he was
unknown until he entered Mr.. CIeye-
lands cabinet That he has filed the
positions he has held there to the credit
of himself and the administration
there is no doubt. Yet more than this
is needed in a candidate. He must be
known favorably in other ways; and
just at present it is perhaps not the
shortest way to popularity to come d.
rectly from the cabinet. There is a
very strong impression among the
people, right or wrong, that Mr.. Cleve-
land is the cabinet and that the heads
of the various departments are his
chief clerks. And chief clerks have
never been thought the proper men
upon whom to bestow presidential
nominations. All this would initiate
against Mr.. Olney in a convention,
justly or unjustly.
It is not absolutely necessary that a
presidential candidate shall come from
any particular part of the country. so
that he meets the requirements that
the country demands. Still there is no
denying that what are called geograph-
ical considerations have great weight.
If geographical reasons make it expedi-
ent that the Democratic candidate
should come from New England, it will
seem to all who are not Immediately
on the ground that that candidate
should be Ex-Governor w. E. Russell,
of Massachusetts Not so, thinks the
Republican. It says that Ex-Governor
Russell has winning personal qualities
that Mr.. Olney lacks. Then it adds
this surprisingly strange comment:
These Go not so with the character of
Grover Cleveland, be it remembered,
but without them he has satisfied the
best sentiment of the nation
To give as recommendation in
mans behalf that he lacks certain
winning personal qualities that Mr..
Cleveland lacks. is something new. The
possession of these qualities never in
the least detracted from William e.
Russelrs strength of character nor the
rectitudue of his intentions.
The Republican says that s'the best
that his Russellsl friends could hope

BICYCLE AGAINST HORSE.

That the bicycle has come to stay"
as the slang phrase has it, there is no
doubt; it is not a fad, but a great in
noYation, and that the horse is to be
entirely superseded is not to be be-
lieved for one moment. When it comes
| to covering long distances on ordinar-
lily good roads, long distance BIZ
cyclst would kill the best horse that
ever stood UP on four legs in the
course of a twelve-hours' run. A few
years ago such a statemeua would
have been not only doubted but de-
MED. The horse, whether under saddle
or in harness, that can do a hundred
miles in a day is one in thousand,
while all who have ever had any ex-
perience with horses know that it
takes a remarkably good animal to go
seyenty-five miles in a day, and that
to repeat the performance two days
in succession is almost impossible.
Some years ago, if we remember
rightly, Colonel Robert Pepper, one
of the great horse breeders of the
Blue Grass state. offered to wager
that he could drive his mare Gloria
from Frankfort to some place a hun
dred miles distant in one day, return
ing the next and repeat the feat for
a whole week Nothing came of the
offer, but very, very few thought it
could be done, although it was known
that if any animal in all Kentucky
could do it Gloria could. A bicyclist
would undertake to do the same thing
and call it soft snap"
The other day member of the
Thistle Cycling club of Chicago, Fred
Stobbart, made a century run over the
Elgin-Aurora course in 5 hrs, So
Minis. Is 2-5 seconds. No horse could
do such a thing, unless he had the
wings of Pegasus. Compare this time
with the three fastest hundred-mile
records made by horses. On May Is,
1916, at Albany, N. Y, the bay mare
Fanny Murray, breeding unknown, was
driven to harness by r. Blakely one
hundred miles in hrs, IL Minis, 26
secs. June 7, 1850, the bay mare Kate,
of unknown breeding, was driven
hundred miles at Centerville, L. l.,
by John p Purdy, in hrs, 40 MINIS,
OOA secs. On November IL, 1853, George
Spicer drove the inbred Bellfounder
bay gelding Conqueror hundred
miles over the Union course, Long
Island, in hrs, So Minis, % secs. The
mare Kate and the gelding Conqueror
were both driven to harness.
The difference between the best
hundred-mile record for the horse and
the same record for the bicyclist is 3
hrs, OF Minis, "a 3-5 SECS, in favor of
the latter. When it comes to long dis
tances the horse isn't in it" with the
bicvcle

WHAT'S THIS! THE ENGLISH
BROAD ga"

One cannot fail to admire the charac-
ter and intelligence visible in the face of
Lord Chief Justice Russell His voice is
clear and distinct and his pronunciation
of words in many cases not distinguished
by what we are accustomed to regard as
an English accent. He does not use the
broad "a to any such degree as we
hear it in New England even. He pro-
nounces TASK" and pass" and "last" as
most of us do in Baltimore, and he is
not alone in this respect. A year ago /
listened to a debate in the house of
lords upon some branch of the Irish
question. The beautiful hall was crowded
with the nobility of the land, and the
galleries were filled by peeresses in bril-
made by the Marquis of Salisbury, now
prime minister; by Lord Rosebery, then
prime minister and by the Duke of Ar
gyle, and in none of the speeches was
there any such broad and deep pronun-
citation Of words, and especially the let
ter "a" as we generally consider to be
the English method. In churches, too,
whose speech was of the same charac-
ter.
Among these men, who were repre-
sentatives of the highest development in
the political, judicial, and religious life
Of England, there was but slight diff
ference of pronunciation from that used
by the same class of Americans. In
by Canon Wilberforce in Westminster
Abbey last Sunday, it occurred to me
that there was little in the voice or pro-
nunciation of this preacher, said to be
the most eloquent in England, to dis
tinguish him from the best type of cler-
gymen in Baltimore or New YOrk.-Cor.
