INCOMPLETE GOVERNMENT

In a speech in San Francisco few
evenings ago Senator Morgan of Ala
bama said that our government is in
complete Among his specifications were
the facts that Alaska has no organized
government, and Arizona and New Mex
leo still remain territories. The infer
ence is that he favors statehood for Ari-
zona and New Mexico, and in this we
heartily concur. Both territories have
population sufficiently numerous and
responsible to establish and maintain
wise government, and abundance or
wealth and resources to sustain it with E
out onerous taxation.
The fundamental principle Of our Con-
stitution is that of government by the
people, and it is better for all concerned
that management Of their own affairs
be committed to them. If they make
mistakes they can correct them more
effectively by themselves than with in
reference or aid from the outside. They
understand the situation better than
those who are not on the ground, and
have no personal interests at stake
Restraint from external sources, though
we'll intended, is apt to do more harm
than good. Progress is more rapid when
people are left free to manage their own
internal affairs. Responsibility natur
ally promotes growth of intelligence and
virtue.
We hope congress will promptly ad-
nit both territories. AS states they will
strengthen the political influence of the
Pacific coast and aid in securing for the
western section of the nation what it is
entitled to.
To the cursory thinker, the general
statement that the government is in
complete may seem unwarranted after
the people have been working at it for
a hundred and eight years A govern
ment is not like house which can be
finished. There are some things on which
work is never done, and government is
one of them. Suggestions of improve
ment will be perpetual unless men lapse
into absolute lethargy. 1t should be re-
membered that the American people
have ever been and still are colonizing,
anr have never given exclusive attention
to organization, neither in government
business nor social arrangement. They
have laid out and performed vast
amount of work; they have not lacked
omprehensiveness but they have not
turned their attention to details and
nicely of performance
Colonization does not now so largely
absorb thought, and it may be expected
that hereafter greater energy will be
directed to organization, and that the
good effect will appear in government,
industries, commerce and social affairs

THE FACTS AND FIGURES

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in an ar
ticle in the September Forum entitled
Strikes and the Coal Miners" clearly
presents the side of the miners in the
pending struggle.
The rates paid in the western Pennsyl-
vania mining district in 1893 were 70
cents per ton for thin vein and 65 cents
for thick vein. The rates at the time of
the strike-July 4, 1S97-were AZ to 81
cents per ton for thin vein and 2S to 80
cents per ton for thick vein.
In Ohio and Indiana the prices in 1898
were rs and 70 cents per ton respectively
for thin and thick vein mining. The
1897 rates We're 81 cents per ton with the
offer of a reduction to As cents per ton
occasioned by the low prices in western
Pennsylvania.
In the Hooking valley district of Ohio
thirty-nine miners were paid in wages
an aggregate of $22S 9S for two weeks
work, or $2.S7 man per week From
this is deducted the cost of powder, tool
sharpening and wear and tear of pick,
shovel, etc. The articles purchased by
the families of the thirty-nine men at the
company's store in the same two weeks
amounted to $17S.05, or about $2.2S for
each family, not including rent. This
statement is that of the employers, not
that of the men.
In 1895, when the mining rates were So
cents ton, cents higher than the pres
ent rate, the chief mining inspector of
Ohio ascertained that, on the average.
the wages of the miners were s1S.48 per
month, excluding deductions and ex-
penses.
Mr.. Gompers grows eloquent in pre-
senting the side of the miners and the
cause of organized labor generally, but
the facts and figures presented in the
foregoing are eloquent enough without
elaboration.

A PATHFINDER

The Herald offers under its coupon
system today Millroy's Pathfinder to
Alaska and the Klondike gold fields.
It is a finely engraved pocket map on
a scale large enough to show all the
principal geographical features Of the
new Ell Dorado. It clearly outlines the
various routes to the Klondike dig
gings that have been opened and
travelled up to date. It shows the
principal towns, camps, forts and sta
tions. Subscribers to The Herald can
obtain this map by clipping coupons
from the advertisement and sending
to our business Office accompanied by
fifteen cents. If out of town send two
cents extra to cover cost Of mailing.

representatives from Missouri, New

and Washington, D. C. Messrs. r. B
Dovener, of West Virginia; r. P. Bishop

Alabama, are members of the house

doubt take care that these gentlemen

situation and the strength of public
opinion as was Chairman Hooker a
