MONETARY CONFERENCES AND
COMMISSIONS.

In his inaugural address President
Mckinley spoke of an international
monetary conference He also made
reference to the desirability of appoint
ing a monetary commission to consider
cur whole financial system. A law has
been passed authorizing the president
to call an international monetary con-
ference; no law authorizing the ap-
pOintment Of a monetary commission
has vet been passed; it probably will
be at the extra session of congress
which meets next Monday
VIII the monetary commission, when
created, meet before the proposed in
ternational monetary conference? Or
will the conference meet first? At first
blush it NAV seem immaterial which
meets first, but it is not. Were a log
zeal sequence to be followed, the meet
ing of any monetary commission that
may be created should follow an inter
national conference, because if such
conference takes favorable action on
the silver question it would relieve the
commission of any necessity for con-
what was there determined upon other
than to follow where it had led. If
the commission meets before the con-
ference it might adopt and recommend
some plan that would be at variance
with the action of the conference. Then
for the commission to act before the
conference met would be almost a dis
courtesy. Moreover, it would show that
the administration has very little, if
any, faith in an international monetary
conference. No doubt this is the ac-
tual state OF the case, but still it is
desirable, from a party standpoint, to-
keep up the pretense of a belief in the
efficacy Of an international conference
as a means of doing something for
silver"

was not fair, that there was something
crooked somewhere. 1t may be very
singular that eight out of the nine
senators drawing long terms should
come from the solidly Republican dis
tricts, under normal conditions" but
normal conditions seem to have been
very much out of joint in Utah for a
long time. Democrats have always
thought it was abnormal conditions"
that allowed of the Republicans car
rying the first state legislature. No
man or party ever thought that nor
NAL conditions" prevailed when he or
it has been defeated For ourselves,
we are delighted to think that some of
the senators who drew long terms come
from districts where the Republicans
might have chance of winning two
years hence. Could we have had our
wishes gratified in this matter every
senator who drew a long term would
have come from a district where there
was any show for a Republican. And
we can only regret that it is not so;
but the next election may make the
state senate solidly Democratic after
all.

workingmen in Leadville to lose their
wages for 263 days.
About half oe the men who struck
in the first place got tired of that folly
after the crimes committed by their
leaders in the attacks upon the Coro-
nado and Emmett mines, and went back
to work. Several hundred other miners
were imported from Missouri to take
the places of the strikers who refused
to work. and. under the protection of
the state militia. the output for some
months has amounted to about two
thirds of the total before the strike be-
gan.
The curse of all labor organizations
is the labor agitator He neither spins
nor does he toll; he simply agitates and
works I'D strife. Peace and good will
between employers and employees are
to him hell, while his heaven is a hell
TO all others. Nothing but failure. mis-
cry and chagrin have resulted from this
strike at Leadville. The miners who
went out were but the victims and
dupes oe agitators who had no inter-
est in the world in them other than
to use them to work them and the state
of Colorado an injury. They succeeded
most admirably. If they see the folly
of their wav and profit by it; if it
serves as a warning example to others
will not all have been in vain. Will
they? Some will, many will not; prog
reSs is slow.

AGITAToRs AND STRIKERS.

The Denver Republican, commenting
on the Leadville strike and it's disas-
trous ending so far as the miners are
concerned. saws:
Now that it has ended by the volun-
tary action of the strikers themselves
in an unconditional abandonment of
the position assumed by them at the
outset, and maintained in direct oppo-
sition to their own interests for 263
days, the Leadville strike will go into
the history of labor troubles in the
west as the most irrational and cause
less in that entire record.
When it began more than 75 per cent
of the men employed in the mines at
Leadville were receiving SO per day, and
the rest were getting $3.50 per day. The
men themselves had no grievances of
which they complained. They had
worked on that schedule upon an
agreement with the mine owners made
shortly after the panic of 1898, and, so
far as can be discovered. they were
entirely willing to continue to work at
the wages they were receiving until
there should be marked improvement
in silver mining, either through the re-
establishment of bimetallism or some
other cause.
A number of trained and paid agitat-
ors from Montana and the Occur
d. Alene region in Idaho invaded the
Leadville district, organized union on
the Occur dAlene plan for the express
purpose of bringing on a conflict be-
tween the miners and their employers,
and succeeded in causing the strike
which has caused nearly 1000 honest
