between Cunningham, who waHMrs.
Bernard's lover, and the rest of the
family to get the husband and father

Ottawa, Ont, June 9. 1.-The house of
commons has passed the alien labor
bill. The bill is fac-simile of the
American bill, with two exceptions. In
the first place, while the American law
can be put in force by custom house
official, the Canadian act can only be
enforced by the Encouragement of the
dominion or somebody whom he au-
thorizes to do so.
In the second place, the act only APP
plies to the United States. as already
said. The act will never be put in
force, but be a measure of getting some
arrangement with the
United States.

Cuban TalI, In washington.

Washington, June 9Th ere was a
revival of Cuban talk about the senate
ON account of the return of Mr.. Cal
houn. The Republican senator's, some
of them members of the foreign rela-
tions committee, say that there is no
doubt that the president viii take ac-
ton as soon as Mr.. Calhoun's report is
received. No definite information was
given concerning the attitude of the
president, but the impression of sena-
tors from such reports as they have
heard, was that there should be
change from the present negative pol
icy and the adoption of definite line
of action with n view to endeavoring
to secure a settlement of the present
state of affairs in Cuba.

BIames the Powers.

Havana, June Sci Commerce. in a
leading article on the Greco-Turkish
war, blames the European jingoes for
not having arranged the matter diplo-
matically so as to avert bloodshed. 1t
compares King George with Mr.. Cleve-
land and President Mckinley, ''peace-
ably disposed generally, but lacking
the power to maintain a conservative
policy and to stife rattle-headed
popular demand"
The article continues: ga more
bellicose attitude may probably plunge
the United States INTO orribls war.
in which old Spain, likeTTurkey, will
surely have the official sympathy and
moral support of the ruling diplomat
lists of Europe. Young Greece's de
feat and humiliation should be warn

ROBBING PETER TO PAYPAUL.

The County Court made serious
blunder at its closing session this
week, IN still further dividing up
the small sum allowed the news
papers of the county for public
printing. Each Of the papers here
has been allowed 300 per year for
publishing the financial statements,
and ali the Court proceedings and
business Of the Courts for one year.
ibis was little enough, as 10 is
lot OF work to copy and publish all
oil this matter, and now the Court
reduces 1t one third and divides
with the Oracle at Terra Alta. We
have no objection to them paying
that paper for the work and allow.
ing them whatever they can afford.
but We submit that it is rank in
Justice to take 1t from the papers
here. Mr.. Boljen, of the Oracle,
was over last week and submitted
long petition, signed by promi.
nent citizens of Terra Alta and
vicinity, asking the Court for an
allowance for printing. aud we do
not blame him for getting all he
can. bat we hardly think he ex-
pected it to come off Of US. AS the
OTacle is a straightout Republican
paper now and EusChng the JourRal
for the leadership of the party, we
think it IA little strange that some
OF the prominent Democrats of
Ferra Alta wOnld sign its petition
and help it work the County Court
for the small amount Of pablic
printing The ARGUS has been re-
ceivlng. They either didn't know
what they were doing or else the
mrtter was misrepresented to them.
We would like TO hear from some
of them on the subject anyhow.

Some Of the Republican papers are
claiming that the big strike of the
coal miners is all due to the Wilson
bill reducing the tariff on coal. and
thereby allowing coal shipped in
here by the pauper labor Of other
countries in competition with our
coal. Will some of these gentlemen
kindly give us some figures on the
amount Of coal shipped into this
country, and Where it is brought
FROM ? If this we're true, how does
1T come that there is such coal
famine in the sections affected by
the strike and such a big demand
for West Virginia coal as to enable
our operators to sell now on very
favorable terms and increase the
rate Of all the miners? WHY don t
they rush this paper labor, free
trade coal in here and supply the
demand?
