A great many eolored people In
Gotham are masquerading In white
peoples hair. There stands outside Of
one Of the smaller stores on Sixth
avenue, not far from the shopping dis
trict, a glass show case which Is filed,

about any Of these. except the color Of
the hair. II Is all Of an inky black

The report of the legislative com
mittee. appointed to make inquiry as
to the laborfng classes in the anthra-
cite region, which has appeared in
our news columns brings out certain
suggestions that have attracted some
attention. There is little in the re
port that was not already known, and
consequently the state could have
been spared this expensive iunketing
trip. The appointment of the com
mittee was urged by the Senator
from this district, but when the resO-
luton creating the committee passed
and the members selected to serve
thereon, the name of Coyle was not
one of them. His interest in the
work of the committee at once tagged,
and he predicted in hisnewspaper-b
the aid of his "hireling, of course,
that the investigation would prove
a farce, simply because he was not a
member.
1t was a bitter disappointment and
is only one of many that he has met
with during this session; it was a lost
opportunity, in more ways than one,
TO Schuylkilrs discredited- at home
and abroad buncho statesman -
These Investigations have proven
quite profitable and are very desir-
able; so much so, i'm fact, that our
friend Coyle induced one Of the mem
bers to resign, with the idea that he
might be named to fill the vacancy;
and again his ambition met the same
fate that is in store for him when
President Mckinley names mar
that has the necessary ability tC
properly represent this country al
Rio Janiero.
The committee apparently made an
honest effort to CLEAN all the facts
possible within the scope of theil
investigations They summoned be
fore them the high officials of the
coal corporations, and also inter
rogated the day laborer and the
monthly employe. As a result they
find that for the past two years grear
priyation among the laboring classes
in this region, not earning, in major
ity of cases, sufficient to provide foi
their families The committee places
the causes for this deplorable condi
tion of affairs to the general depres
sion i'm business, and the grear
surplus of labor AS partial remedy
they recommend the enactment O
more stringent immigration laws by
Congress, in line with the position o
the HERALD at the time the com
mittee was appointed.
1t will be remembered that Senator
Coyle, i'm his newspaper, said the
cause of the condition of affairs wa.
only to be found I'm the excessive rates
Of tonnage and the high price
charged for coal at tidewater. Re
ferring to this charge the committee
