The strike of the coal miners along the Norfolk and Western railroad is justif- able, if ever a strike was. They have been forced down to starvation wages. They only get 20 cents a ton and are compelled to trade most of that pitiful sum at the commissaries. Their deplor- able condition has been brought about by a combination between the railroad and the coal shippers, This combination does not give cheaper coal to consumers, but all the tremendous profits go into the treasury of the railroad and the mid de men. There is a great deal of sym pathy in this district over the condition of these miners. The owner and oper- ator of a large coal mine in this district said to an Age-Herald man yesterday that he would subscribe literally to- ward helping these Virginia miners to win their fight. Another large operator said he would subscribe as much as the other operator. The Age-Herald will do its share. All contributions sent to the Age-Herald office will be turned over to John G. Smith, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the United Mine Work CTS of the Birmingham district, and will be sent by him to the oppressed Vir- ginia miners.

April 15 says: "The employers cannot ignore one of the most disquieting fea- lures of the situation. It is the now rap4 idly increasing growth of American com petition in even the home market. This is shown by the fact that on a single day in the week before the holidays, three tons of American boots and shoes, which had been landed at Liverpool from New York, were delivered to Lei cester dealers. Nor can this excite much surprise when it is realized that the Lei cester dealer can now have these goods delivered free at his own door cheaper than he can buy them from the Leicester manufacturer. In the case of ladies' glace kid boots. for example, the differ ence in favor of the American maker is as much as pence per pair, and at thag price an order has actually been deliv- cred within the last few days"

Jeremiah seems to have been a profess sional mourner. He was doubtless of a sorrowful countenance and his eyes were constantly filled with tears. He always looked on the dark side of things. When, the people imagined that some disaster was about to befall them they always called on Jeremiah to do their lament ing. The lamentations of Jeremiah, or jeremiads. as they are called, have been handed down to this day. The sorrow ful spirit of Jeremiah has also descended to the present generation, and inspires the editors of some newspapers.

The Peoples Tribune includes John Fl. Inman among the rich men who are 'kngs over the people," The idea of John H. Inman lording it over the people is something unique. He was a poor boy himself, and after serving faithfully in the Confederate army left his humble home in East Tennessee and went to New York. By his devotion to business and natural ability he amassed a for tune. He has used his money in devel- oping the mineral section of Alabama. and is one of the largest stockholders in the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company. His money has opened mines all around us, built furnaces and given employment to hundreds and thousands of honest workmen. All of us get some of the usufruct of John H. Inman's investments. The editor of the Peoples Tribune is himself beneficiary, for without the people here to read thera would be no Tribune, and therefore no editor on fat salary. What would this country come to if all the newspapers should pander to the prejudices of the ignorant and excite the passions of the poor against the rich.

 Santa Fe.. Sequel to the Irrigation
 Congress. No Fare to Be Charged the
 Delegates.
Necessity Now at Hand to Provide Entertainment for the City's
 Distinguished Guests.

September P the Santa Fe route will bring to Phoenix the most important excursion ever known to this city. It will be composed almost entirely of delegates to the National Irrigation congress, to whom has most literally been offered free trans portation by the railways concerned-the Atlantic & Pacific and the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix. It had been anticipated that auch an excursion would follow the session of the congress-, and to be made accession of decidedly low passenger rates and the determination of the Santa Fe roads was yesterday learned with the deepest satisfaction.
 R. E. Wells, assistant to the general manager of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phenix, spent yesterday in Phoenix, and during the afternoon was in receipt of lengthyitelegram upon the subject noted, sent by President Murphy of his road. MT. Murphy states that the Santa Fe officials feel most kindly toward Phoenix and are desirous;of giving to the greatest possible number an opportunity of visiting central Arizona and of exam ing the wonderful agricultural region near this city and the development of irrigation here to be found. They hope that to Phoenix may be brought the Congress of 1896, and proffer all aid to that end.
 MT. Wells, in company with territo- rial delegate to the Congress, inter viewed many Cf t.Ie ciVy Llqre ;3F5.lii nent citizens during the day and found nothing save enthusiasm over the rare opportunity offered for advertising the valley. The governor is already active in the cause, Manager Honshell of the Maricopa & Ph9nix, proffers the cour tesles of his road for the haul to Tempe and Mesa, and su bstantial contributions were promised by many.
 Monday afternoon at o'clock, at the governors office, city hall, will be held the caucus called by the territorial dele gates to the irrigation congress. At this meeting is expected the at. l tendance of every business man of Phe nix, Tempe and Mesa aud of represent atives of every irrigation company of the territory. The main subjects for consideration will include the work desired of the Arizona delegation to Albuquerque in aid of the cause of ir- rlgation and to secure to Phoenix the next session of the congress. To this discussion will be appended the more immediately local topic Of arrange ments for the reception of the delegates and visitors to be be brought hither by the Santa Fe.
 The matter is one of the highest inn portance and is being even now consid- cred by the townspeople in the light of an opportunity that should be improved l to the utmost.
