THE SAME OLD STORY.

The great strike of the coal miners
has at last reached the point attained
by almost every other previous strike
of considerable magnitude-the point
where there has been a considerable
sacrifice of human life. Anyone famil-
lar with the history of these contests
between organized labor and organized
capital could scarcely have expected
any other result
1t was so in the great railroad strike
of 1877. 1t was so at Homestead; it
was so at Chicago. There is one mark
ed difference between the coal miners
strike and the others referred to. In
the present instance there has been lit
1le or no destruction of property
The strikers apparently entered into
the contest with the idea that if they
avoided committing any depredations
on property, such as were INDUCED in
by the participants in former battles
with the employers of labor. their lives
would be safe. They may have even
thought that they would be safe from
arrest and imprisonment. In both ex-
pectations they were doomed to disap-
pointment.
The only way in which they have
seemed to fare better than the partici-
pants in former strikes, which were
fraught with violence on the part of
the strikers, is that they have seemed
TO hold a larger share of public sym
pathy. This sympathy did not serve to
preserve their lives.
Telegraphic reports from the vicin-
ity of Hazleton indicate that the
slaughter of the striking miners there
last week was without justification. But
what will be done about it? The law
may punish those who did the killing,
though this is doubtful, but it cannot
restore the dead to life nor fathers to
the orphaned children.
Is it not about time that something
were done to prevent the recurrence of
such affairs? The coal miners strike
seems to have about reached the end,
but there will be others. Shall the leg
islative branches OF the government
serenely fold their hands and await
another great uprising of labor and
then leave the settlement of it to the
judiciary and the military?
1t is 20 years since the first great
strike, entailing destruction of much
property and human life took place
Since then there have been three 9TH
ers of magnitude to say nothing of
many smaller ones.
Isn't it about time for congress and
the state legislatures to do something?
The whole people are interested in the
establishment of some just and equit-
able way of adjusting such controver-
sizes. They have voice through their
representatives in congress and the leg
1slatures.

made, 26 in number, are beautiful in
cut, finish and material, and the owners
of the patient little fingers that took
so many stitches and made their work
so perfect are deserving of the highest
praise that can be given them. The
little orphans will look very nice and
will feel very proud when they wear
their new clothes. handsome quilt

SHE WOULD BE CHEF.
Denver Woman Wants to be at the
Head of the Police Department.

Denver, Sept. 13.-Po1ice Matron Lou
Use Levelle wants to be appointed chief
of police. This was given out at noon
today by Police Commissioner Speer,
and is, therefore, authentic. Mr.. Speer
was at headquarters at noon, and was
in consultation with the matron in the
captains office for nearly an hour: AT
the end of the conference he made the
announcement as stated.
Mr.. Speer did not say what political
influence the matron could bring to
bear that would cause her appointment,
but it is understood that the Republic
cans are making hard fight for her.
She neither confirmed nor denied that
she was an applicant for the position
when seen by a reporter. Mrs. Levelle
has lived in Denver for the last twenty
three years, has been police matron for
the past two years and has filled that
position we'll. She has been a leader
in politics since women were allowed to
vote, and has been in many conferences
of the inner circles. She is woman
about SO years old, and quite handsome.
A new chief will not be appointed for
several daVS.

ALL UP WITH SPAIN.
British Press Says Cuba Can
Never be ReconQuered.

London, Sept. 13.-The morning pa
pers comment upon the increasing diff
ficulties of the position of Spain.
The Daily Chronicle says: cit is
plain that Cuba cannot be reconquered.
If the Madrid cabinet is unwilling to
face the facts and confess that Cuba is
lost there will be a worse humiliation
for Spain. President Mckinley will be
less than an American and more than
mortal if he abstains from throwing an
ultimatum into the scales.
THE cooperation of the American
squadron will give the insurgents COM
mand of the island, shut up Captain
General Weyler and his rabble, in Ha-
vana, without hope of help by land or
sea. 1t is possible that Cuba will enter
the American union, but the CubanS
have fought so hard for independence
that they are unlikely to be disposed to
part with it even to so powerful and
caressing a neighbor."
