THE firing into miners by deputy
sherif1s, at Latimer, Pennsylvania,
yesterday afternoon, whereby many
were killed and wounded, was very
unfortunate occurrence and may
lead to further and widespread
trouble and have a discouraging
effect upon the efforts to settle the
great strike. We had hoped the
differences would soon be adjusted
and that the great losses being
sustained by the miners would cease.
While the strike has been expensive,
also, to the operators, they have the
power to force the coal consumers
to reimburse them by an advance in
the price of coal, power which they
are likely to exercise.

LET us have a regular fall house
cleaning, as it were. Put the carpen-
tiers to work, repairing buildings and
fences, and let the painters follow
them with bucket and brush. Such
a course will aid carpenters and
painters and those who furnish them
supplies, and will make the towns
look better in the eyes of our own
people and 10 the eyes of the thous-
ands of visitors we will have at the
big Fair, the first week in November.

CONTROL OF POST OFFICES.

Postmaster General Gary Lays Down
Rule.
Postmaster General Gary will continue
the old policy as to distributing patronage
of the post offices. and he announced to
the press today that he would not deviate
from the practice followed by past admins
trations.
This as a general rule gives to every
senator the privilege OF recommending a
postmaster for his home post Office and
allots to each republican senator the largest
post office In his district. which. however.
in the case Of a senator not of the republi-
can faith, will go to the republican commit
tee or other referee.
With these exceptions the republican
representatives usually are permitted to
name the postmasters for their respective
districts. In democratic districts the selec-
ticn Is left to a referee or perhaps to a
republican senator.
The congressional delegations will have
to keep themselves posted as to the dates
of expiration Of terms of postmasters as
the old custom of the department OF send
ing notice TO senators and representatives
of expirations of postmasters' commissions
which was stopped by Postmaster General
Bissell, will not be resumed.
