It is regrettable that the effort TO arbl-
trate the coal strike was failure.
There now seems TO be nothing left but
a continuance Of the struggle. with the
chances of final settlement which will
not be on as satisfactory terms as ar
bltration would have secured. Arbltra-
ton was refused by President Ratehtord,
of the Miners Union, because the opera
tors would not agree to pay the full rate
demanded by the miners pending the
settlement upon a rate by arbitrator,
and also because the negotiations did
not include all the mining districts,
1t seems that negotiations on such
terms are utterly impossible. Mr., Ratch-
ford may be right from his point of view,
but his position does not seem to be ten
able to a dlsinterested observer. There
was an opportunity to make great gain
for the striking miners and to avoid the
inevitable result OF failure TO agree,
but he could not see It In that way, In
the meantime the miners will be forced
from necessity to return to work on any
terms or witness their places taken by
others, This means a great deal.
Arbitration In which mutual conces-
sIons are not made is utterly impossible,
Any gain that is made In behalf of the
miners is gain for the cause of labor,

The esteemed Register says: 1.-THE In
telligencer thinks Judge Goff's decision
twas entirely satisfactory to the labor
leaders" The Intelligencer has been
mlslnformed. Very few people are en-
tirely satisfied with government by in
junction. The administration of Justice
according to the statute law, and trial
of people alleged to be guilty by Jury
of their fellow citizens suits most folks
best"
Precisely so. and nobody disputes the
proposition that government by injunc-
ton would be wrong and in violation of
the spirit and letter of the constitution.
But the Register, in view OF the fact that
1t published Judge Goft's decision, shows
either an alarming ignorance of Its ma
ture or a deliberate desire to mlsrepre
sent 1t. We suggest that our nelghbOr
give it careful reading.
The Judge announced in his decision
the very principle which the Register
lays down. He decided. Furthermore.
that the men arraigned before him were
not guilty OF any crime and they were
not held as criminals. The only charge
against them was contempt OF a court
order and as they were technically guilty
the Judge gave them the minimum sem
tence. Contempt of court is not regard

Merchants Day in Wheeling has como
and gone and the promoters of the move
ment have every reason to congratulate
themselves on its success. Nearly 1000
visitors representing the territory trlbu-
tary to Wheeling in the states of West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio re-
sponded to the invitations and the result
was gratifying to the merchants and
other business men of the city who were
interested directly.
That the guests enjoyed their visit and
were impressed with what they saw Is
evident from their expressions, and that
they have taken home with them remem-
brances OF the most pleasant character
there is no doubt. The benefits which
will result to Wheeling in business way
will be many. The money and time ex-
pended In the entertainment of the
guests were well spent, New customers
have been secured and old ones have
been made to feel that the business men
OF this city appreciate them. Barring
the failure of one or two of the railroad
companies to do all they were expected
to do, and what they should have done in
view Of the fact that they were interest
ed parties in the AFFAIR, there was no
hitch throughout. 1t is unfortunate, that
some roads did not seem to wholly APP
preclate that a movement to increase the
jobblng trade OF Wheeling was to result
in an increase in the carrying trade. 1t
may be that they did not understand
the full purpose of the gathering.
However there was big response to
the invitations and the business inter-
ests of Wheeling have every reason to be
gratlHed with the success of Merchants
Day. Next year similar undertaking
on a larger scale will doubtless be ar
ranged and the success of the one yes
terday assures in advance that 1t will
NOT be a failure.

not see the silver" said Mr. Bryan
about the only silver / have ever seen
was that In the few dollars l have had"
After this intensely interesting conver-
sation the Standard describes Mr.. Bry-
ans descent into the mine, after first
dressing himself in a miners outht The
reporter, who never lost a precious word
that fell from Mr., Bryans lips during
the entire great day in Butte" tells this
funny incident:
I After the party had been properly at
tired for the underground trip Mr. o'Neill
said: walk this way" as he. led on
toward the Never Sweat hoist
Mr., bryan felt a bit awkward Ia his suit.
and said
That reminds me OF the lady who went
into a dry goods store 10 purchase some
calico. Walk this way said the bow
legged clerk, leading the customer TO the
calico counter. i wouldn't walk that way
for all the calico in your store was the
woman's reply"
This proved Mr., Bryan to be something
OF humorlst and served to enllven the
great day in Butte" It is impossible TO
follow all the details of the trip through
the mines and give all the things which
Mr. Bryan said and did, or to relate the
many flashes of wit which kept the party
In a state OF laughter because 1t was Mr..
Bryan who got them off, Rnr instance,
when he was taken down to the 1900 foot
level this interesting and significant pas
sage occurred;
You were deeper In II than this last
fall" called Mr., Hartman up from tho
lower deck as the cage was passing the
1000 station.
Yes" replied Mr. Bryan, "but I'll get
out of II quicker this tune"
Mr., Bryan had peculiar sensations"
when he was In the bowels of the earth
There was Strange buzzing in his
ears" he said but he didn't inform the
reporter whether it was caused by a
presidential bee or not When he came
to the surface OF the earth again he con-
tributed to the'deIight of the great day
in Butte" Is follows;
II never go In dangerous place and
come out safely but what think OF tho
story told about the college girl who went
out on a skin ride. II became very squally
and the skin rocked badly. and when II
finally pulled up TO the shore and the girl
stepped out she said: Thank goodness
am on vice versa once more | never
think Of terra flrma but what | am re-
minded OF that vice versa story"
did you say she was a college grip"
asked Mr.. Hartman, after the laugh had
subsidized.
Yes, that is the way the story goes.
think she was Vassar girl"
Then he went up to the hotel and shook
hands with the Butte citizens and told
them what an outrage it was that they
were not permitted to have every forty
cents worth of silver he had gaEed upon
that day stamped as dollar and palmed
off on the people of the country as 100
cents; for which sentiment they cheered
him. 1t was great day in Butte"

A friend of the 1nteiligencer has sent
us a copy of the Anaconda, Montana.
Standard, OF August IA. Anaconda is
young city near Butte, Montana, and is
famous as being the location of the fam
Gus Anaconda silver mine. This partlc-
ular Issue of the Standard is filled to
overlooking with the details OF the visit
of Mr.. William ]. Bryan to Butte and in
cldentally his exploration OF the Ana
conda mine. where he revelled in the
sight of tons of silver ore.

outside world the whereabouts and every
movement Of the distinguished guest,
whom the Nebraska farmers had lost
track OF, in their excitement OF watching
the price of wheat going up with hop.

spite OF the fact that Mr.. Bryan was In
one Of the biggest silver and copper
mines OF the country doing his level best
to revive the silver part OF the product

1t was indeed "a great day in Butte"
and We are Indebted to the Anaconda
Standard for the information as to de-
tails While all the remainder OF the
country had well nigh forgotten Mr.. Bry-
an, and ceased to think Of his theories
because events were proving them to be
fallacles, Butte was spreading Itself to
do him honor This silver metropolis
was deprived Of the pleasure of visit
from Mr. Bryan during the campaign OF
last year. and was determined to catch
up with the procession. SO Butte gave
him grand reception, and he kindly re-
