The situation in the Iowa coal fields
is still one of latent hostility between
the mine operators and the mine work
ers. 1t would not take much to pre-
cipitate strike. 1t is to be hoped
however, that some means will b,
speedily devised to bring the opposinl
parties together. The men cannot affort
to be idle at this time nor can the min,
worked. 1t is TO their mutual interes
that an agreement be reached. If {
strike can possibly be avoided it ough
10 be in this instance.

The idea of extending clemency only
when rich offender and II poor offender
can be linked together is an emanation
worthy of Judge Scott, presiding over
the criminal bench of the district court
If prisoner can make out IA deserving
case for pardon, what reason is there
to make him carry through some fel
low prisoner, whether better or worse
situated, Every application for pardon
should rest on its own merits. The idea
that pardons of convicts should b(
granted in pairs only would be an un
heard of innovation both in law anG
practice.

BALTIMORE. April 2.-Captain Morslager

to the soldiers German rifle, with
which he did some remarkable shooting
The rife is one of the first made by the
German government from a brand new in
vention of Mauser, the great German fire
arms inventor. In appearance it is some
thing like the Krag-Jorgensen military rife
now being adopted by the United States
army, but for shooting 1t eclpsed anything
yet made 1t is of 80 caliber and the barrel
is made of three tubes, one inside the other,
on the same plan as the Krupp gun. The
inner tube is rified and of hard, tempered
steel. The powder used is a smokeless,
ntro-glycerine explosive, which makes little
report and no smoke. Fired along at the
height of the shoulder, the bullet will go
nearly two miles before it's force Is spent
and at 1900 yards it would pierce the bodies
of seven men, placing the one behind the
other.

pctunte Siander from :he Pulpit.
Los ANGELES, April Judge Clark has
overruled the demurrer interposad by Rev.
j. c. Campbell in the suit charging him
with slandering Miss Tesea l.. Kelso. the
librarian of the Los Angeles public library.
The basis of action was a prayer offered by
the defendant before his congregation in
the First Methodist Episcopal church, in
which he said: "Oh' Lord vouchsafe Thy
saving grace to the Librarian of the Los
Angeles city library and cleanse her of all
sin and make her a woman worthy Of her
office"
Rev. Campbell, in his demurrer took the
position that his statement was privileged
The court held that a sander can be per-
petrated in the form Of prayer as readily
as in any other form OF speech, and that
no communication made by parson or priest
to his congregation is privileged because of
such relation. unless, perhaps, when made
in the discharge of his pastoral duties with
one subject to the discipline Of the church,
and then only unless made without malice.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 2.-W ]. Roach n
well known lumber merchant of this city,
has received word from Webb City, Mo-, that
the remains of his son Harry, aged 25 years.
who was killed by a cave-in in the lead
mines near that place in May 1892, have
been Unexpectedly turned up $50 feet below
the surface and $50 feet back of the point
where he was carried down. The search for
young Roach and the two native miners who
were killed at the same time was prosecuted
for more than year, but was finally
abandoned as hopeless, although the body of
one Of the victims was found nine months
after the accident. Harry Roach was for
several years connected with a Chicago
lumber company, but invested in Missouri
lead mines and went there to superintend
their development. On the rotted clothing
of Roach was found an accident check calling
for several thousand dollars; $50 in green
backs and gold watch These articles
were well preserved and will be forwarded
to his father.

Greasine the slide for John.

Denver Republican.
The discovery of fraud in connection with
the issue of residence certificates to Chinese
shows that in all matters connected with
the presence of Chinese in this country
the government should be always on the
alert. In this case certain Americans were
implicated in the fraud, but that does not
render it less criminal. 1t is probable that
already many of these fraudulent certii-
Gates have been issued, and since they were
very carefully and sl<illfuly executed 1t
may be that the holders will be able to
maintain their residence in the country
in spite of the law.

That is an ingenious argument that
seeks to have the indictment against

ground that there is no such person

when it refers to 'tle judge of the

In the rivalry between the electric and
the steam railroads in Connecticut the
legislature of the state ought to refrain
from interference. If the electric lines
are injuring the business of the steam lines,
1t must be because they enjoy economic
advantages not possessed by the other. The
cheaper and more servceable of the two
powers will surely win in the end, what

Nothing has contributed more to the

ALWAYS try to see the new moon for

There is an old superstition that says
it's good luck. If it isn't good luck it
does no harm, unless you twist your
neck too much.
Ir's the cornered rat that fights
fiercest, and this also holds good with
men; therefore always do your fgI 10
in the open where each has an equal
chance to run.
The pen is mightier than the sword,
and the dollar is mightier than the pen,
consequently the dollar has the call.
Look out for the dollars, and the pen
and sword will look out for themselves.
