they hear of the match game a large

An Ado to Small Purpose.

The statement of Mr.. Powderly be-
fore the anthracite mining investigat-
ing committee, reproduced elsewhere,
IS in the main a truthful and compre-
hensive review of the industrial sltua-
+ion in this community. Unquestion-
ably that situation is most affected at
this time by the stagnation in produc
tive industry which is general through
out the United States. With tne fac
tories and mills of the nation closed or
running on reduced time it follows in
evitably that there must be a marked
curtailment in the demand foc nnthra-
cite as well as bituminous coal, both for
furnace and heating purposes. The
use of anthracite in parlor CRATES, at
seasonable times, is frequently lux
ury; that is to say, it is a use which
can be dispensed with, in favor of
cheaper fuel. when economy forces
such a substitution. This single eX-
planation is enough to account for most
of the abnormal depression now dis
cernible in the anthracite regions.
The immigration evil, to be sure, is
by no means inconsiderahle, but the
mining business is not the only busi-
ness which has suffered from an over
multiplication of productive capacity,
with the consequent inducement to a
surplusage of unskiled labor that oper-
ates to reduce the earnings of labor.
In fairness to the mine managers Of
this region it must, however, be said
that the mining business is almost the
only large industry of it's class in which
the piece rate has remained practically
the same throughout a long season of
diminishing profits for the operators
Restriction of working time has been
the unpleasant necessity; but it is idle
to hold that this has been practiced
willingly. 1t has been forced upon the
operators by unavoidable business con-
ditions and they would join with their
workmen in welcoming a state of af-
for full time.
Displacement of labor by new inven-
tions, with accompanying disturbance
of the industrial equilibrium, is a fac.
tor open to discussion but hardly al
this late day to be eliminated. Fal
more practical is the advice given by
Mr.. Powderly, and indorsed overwhelm.

What Will the House Do?

The information impaired Wednes-
day by Senator Foraker during the de-
bate concerning Cuba is very obvious
ly of the greatest Importance. Speak
ing as one of the subcommittee Of
three senators to whom the executive
department recently confided it's whole
knowledge of the situation in Cuba, he
so far drew upon that confidential in
telligence as to state three very ma
terial facts. which stand forth with
the emphasis of official certifcation.
First, more than a year ago Secre-
tary Olney offered to mediate between
Cuba and Spain, and Spain returned an
arrogant refusal.
Secondly, the later consular advices
received from Cuba tell such details
of Spanish mal-administration and
cruelty that the publication Of them,
with the authors names attached,
would, in the presidents opinion, en-
danger their lives in the absence of
American military and naval forces to
protect their consulates.
Thirdly the Administrations objec-
tion to the bellgerency resolution is
not that 1t does not share in the spirit
which prompts that resolution, but be-
cause the president considers the reso-
lutionin itself upnder present conditions
ineffective to meet the grave emergency
which is presented in Cuba, and favors,
instead, after the receipt of complete
official reports, a direct and explicit
notification to Spain that the war in
Cuba must stop, else the United States
will proceed to stop it.
Here, at last, we have the truth made
clear, and it is superogatory to say that
1t reflects conspicuous credit on Will
lam Mckinley, We are glad, also, thai
1t lifts some Of the odium off the shoul
ders Of Richard Olney, although it II

We do not see how the adoption Of
the Morgan belligerency resolution,
even if it does not go far enough, can
embarrass the administration OF
course, If the president desires to reach
the same result by a different and, as
he thinks, a better method, his prefer
ence should receive respectful consid-
Grafton. But upon the main point that
the United States must now move to
a quick finality in the Cuban matter,
public opinion is irrevocably deter
mined; and needless delay at any
point will only irritate it.

Hon. Z. b. Hardenbergh has good
cause for an action for libel against the

Governor Bradley, of Kentucky,
threatens to pardon every juvenile
criminal now in Jail or hereafter to be
put there if the legislature doesn't pro-
vide a suitable reformatory. The threat
is daring, but its motive is unassail-
able. A state like Kentucky ought to
know better than to make confirmed
criminals out of its first offenders by
decreeing incarceration in the same
jails and cells with hardened thugs.

Reasons Why.

"Why pass a tariff bill?' asks the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Because the present tariff has proven
utterly inadequate to supply the rev.
enue needed by the government.
Because the policy of paying current
expenses by raising money on bonds is
expensive and in the direction of
bankruptcy.
Because 1t is unbusinesslike and un-
necessary to increase the national debt
in time of peace.
Because sufficiency of revenue pro-
tects the gold reserve and makes cur
rency trouble impossible.
Because the industries of the United
States need more protection than they
have under the present tariff
Because, finally, the people voted for
tariff founded on the principles en-
bodied in McKinleys candidacy

Cuba, who seem to have been as sayago
as the most savage of the Spanish 'sol-
diers, and that steps are being taken 20
relieve the organization of their menf~
bership. 1t Is alleged that the cruelties Of
Spanish members of the order in CUBA
which have been reported In the newspa-
pers are but a moiety of the truth. The
recent record OF the Red Cross is not es-
teemed to have been very brilliant, and 1t
Is felt to be incumbent upon the worthy
branches of the society that the process
of purging should be prompt and radical.
Commissioner Calhoun Is not earning
laure!s In the opinion of the adminlstra-
tion by his first days at Havana. II is
thought to be very curious that he should
have passed two or three days In rather
sportive performances, at Spanish din
ners, and the Spanish Casino of evenings,
in enjoyment of the characteristic pro-
gramme of such places, before even IN
forming the president of his arrival. The
criticism is that It is MT the best prepara-
tion for an impartial investigation OF
grave matter to allow ones self to be
dlned and wlned by the party supposed to
be fiagrantly wrong from the American
standpoint. Mr. Calhoun, however, may
have had a purpose which his critics are
not Informed of at this distance, ana
may yet prove to be in sympathy with the
power that sent him on his delicate mis-
sion.
Broker Chapman is in the district Jail,
and does not seem to bemoan his fate in
the least. Indeed, he remarked to visi-
tor that he seemed to have beer born for
that sort of thing, meaning not that he
was born to consort with criminals and
to be shut in a dungeon, but that 1t Is to
his liking to be coddled and lionized ana
fed fat on the best the market affords,
prepared by a French chef, without being
compelled to work for the luxury. He has
the run" of the best rooms of the jail,
can wander in the open air IN the floor
scented grounds If he will can have n
game of poker with his friends If he so
desires (though he has a glut of gambling
when at his legitimate trade), and Is APP
parently happy for the chance of this bit
of unique recreation. Big with generosity,
he says he does not wish to involve the
president with any complex question OF
his pardon. The Jail warden is a genial
fellow, and seems to be cultivating Chap
man assiduously, possibly with an eye to
future tips in regard to probable ups
and downs of the market. The whole
thing is a lark, and the only regret of the
merry broker seems to be that he cannot
have the company of Messrs. Havemeyer
and Searles. Mr.. Chapman much inter-
ested in the other criminals, and Is maxi
| ing a study of them. 1t is quite possible
| he may pick up one among them with a
genius for his own calling, and bring him
| to New York when he regains his liberty
| to play the stock market for senators of
| the Uniteu States.
