1t is gratifying to learn that there is
now good prospect that the coal strike
will be settled by arbitration. There was
great danger unless some settlement was
reached at an early day that the strikers
would become rioters and their cause,
which is good one, irreparably damaged
by their excuses. 1t seems almost i'm
possible that a board of fair minded arbi-
traitors can fail to concede the advance of
wages which the miners are contending
for

upon meridian which is a matter of
easy scientific investigation. The Canatli-
an government might put in force it's alien
labor law, sand in that case our citizens
would have to become good British SUBJ
Jects or walk out of the mines on that
side of the line. But even this law
can only be put in operation by the direct
order of the attorney general of Canada
and might fail of its purpose in this far
nothern country, with its imperfect COM
munication.

The letter which the committee of the
trustees sent Ito President Andrews of
Brown University and which brought
forth his resignation was frank in the
extreme. 1t told him in the plainest Ian
guage that the university had lot gifts
and legacies which otherwise would have
come to it by reason of his silver views,
render those views they did ask him to
forbear to promulgate them. OF course
after receiving letter of that kind there
was no course open to a man of any self
respect but to resign, and resign Mr.. An
drews did. The weak point in this trans
action is the ground on which the trustees
based the request tor President Andrews
resignation, for request it virtually
was. If the trustees had represented to
him, what is true, that the great majority
of the friends and patrons Of the college,
and the community as well, regarded his
public teachings on the silver question
as contrary to sound ethics, and suggested
his resignation because Of that fact their
position would have been defensible
But to ask him to keep silence because
his views were disagreeab1e to rich men,
looks too much like saying that it is
the opinion of Brown University trus-
tees that the president and professors of
that institution should take care that
they express no views that might be
obnoxious to that class. That is kind
| of toadying to wealth which is not
likely to do the institution any good,
even though it secures some contribu-
tons.

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has signed
the two anti department store ordinances
recently passed by the council. They
prohibit the sale of meats, groceries or

license. After they have been published
ten days the ordinances will become
effective-that is, if they can successfully
run the gauntlet of the legal tests which
most likely will be applied to them.

All talk like that which the Japanese
prime minister is reported to have been
indulging in to the effect that Japan
must resist the annexation of Hawaii has
only the effect of strengthening the an
nexation movement in this country, be-
cause it obscures the merits of the ques-
ton, and substitutes the issue of submit
ting to foreign dictation. OF course if
Japan says we must not annex Hawaii
we must proceed to annex it-Japanese,

suspicion of having been scared by Japan.

1t seems to be settled that President
Mckinley will send a message on the cur
rency to Congress as soon as the tariff
bill is out of the way, and the probability
is that the House will vote promptly in
favor of the appointment of commission
such as he will suggest in the message,
and that the Senate will take no action
whatever. Those who are favorable to the
sending of the message take the ground
that 1t will tend to educate public opinion,
and will make 1t easier to obtain prompt
congressional action next winter. 1t can
be truthfally said that if the message is
not sent until after the tariff bill is dis
posed of 1t will do no harm, even if it
does no good.

There is a good deal Of truth in what
Senator Tillman says in his report
against the proposed sugar investigation,
IN regard to the reckless way in which
charges are made by the Washington cor.
respondents of certain newspapers against
members of Congress and other public
officials. Frequently no doubt accusations
OF very serious nature are made on the
hlmsiest of evidence, and sometimes, on
no evidence at all. The reason that such
accusations do not do more mischief Is
that the public has taken the measure of
the sensational press pretty accurately
and makes liberal discount from its as
sertions. No doubt much of the influence
which newspapers ought to possess
has been frittered away by their reck-
lessness in making charges.

Price of the Property.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
rote the price paid for the house on E
street which has just been acquired. The
total price was about $4,000. which Is
about the same as that paid for the ad-
joining property some two years ago. The
dimensions Of the two lots are about the
much Of the same character. The prop
erty last purchased. occupied by the Sec
ond house from the House Of the Temple,
contains about 1850 square feet OF
ground. the frontage being 21.3 and the
depth 112 feet. 1t is estimated that the
house is worth about $4,000. which leaves
about 5000 for the lot, which is at the rate
Of $3.50 per square foot. AS practically
the same price was paid for the house that
was purchased two years ago, the consid-
Grafton named in the last sale shows that
values have remained about the same.
In a Suburban Subdivision.
In the reference that was made in last
Saturdays Star to the work that is now
in progress in opening up streets in subur-
ban subdivisions, mention should have been
made of what is being done in the Amerf-
L n,
now engaged in opening up Massachusetts,
avenue, which extends through the south
ern portion of this property. Mr.. d. D.
Stone, one Of the trustees of the property
states that the improvements being made
by those controlling the subdivision have
been going on during the past summer,
and in addition to opening streets and
grading, trees have been planted and other
improvements have been made. He says
that since last spring some $50 lots have
been sold. aggregating 100000. AS is well
known, this property Is located to Tho
northwest of the grounds of the American
University and several blocks west Of
Tenleytown.

A sensational case with a funny side is
reported from Ell Reno A couple arrived
at the principal hotel and registered them
selves as man and wife. In fact, they were
clippers, one having run away from a wife
and the other husband. In the course of
a week the injured husband and the injured
wife arrived from Kentucky and caused the
arrest of the pair. The deserted man ard
woman had never seen each other before,
but while waiting for requisition papers
from Kentucky they stopped at the same
hotel. and formed an acquaintance. Having
a common grief. they became interested In
each other. and, on the day the requisition
papers were to arrive, they astonished the
officers by clipping on their own account,
going to Texas. where they are now sup
posed to be. The first pair of clippers were
released from jail, and the Kentucky off,
