THE NEW tariff bill increases the tax
on coal, but the representatives of the
men employed in digging coal out OF
the mines in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and West Virginia have met in conven.
ton at Altoona and resolved to strike
against proposed reduction in their
wages to rate even lower than pre-
vailed when coal was on the free list.
As miners wages are pretty nearly
equal in all parts of the country, it is
probable that similar reduction may
be made at the Virginia mines. and that
too, though Colonel Lamb is now in
Washington trying to have the tax on
coal increased.

A REMARKABLE thing about thos

A REMARKABLE thing about those
who say they can see through the
clouds and behold what they describe
as the advancing dawn Of prosperity"
is that at the very same time they talk
about had years." and their inevitable
recurrence, irrespective of conditions
naturally calculated to ward Oh such
years. If the prayed for good times"
are in sight, why should reasons be as
signed for their non arrival? The
sight OF these people and their talk
don't agree. If prosperity has come,
why should business failures continue,
extensive strikes be on in the coal,
iron aud tin industries in consequence
of reduced wages, steamship lines be
withdrawn, the streets be filled with
idle men, and money in safe invest
ments bring exceptionally low rates OF
interest There is as little profit az
sense in asserting that prosperity has
returned, when every body with open
ewes know that it has not, and that the
case is just the reverse.

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
A dispatch from Washington says !:
When Minister Woolford departs for
Madrid he will carry with him the Off
cial declaration of this government re-
gsrding its policy toward Cuba. The
scheme of the administration is definite,
practical and safe. Above all things
President Mckinley is determined that
there shall be no oelligerent demon
stration on the part of the United
States, believing thst the Cuban prob
lem can be solved through diplomatic
means. He is so certain of this peace
full and satisfactory result that he has
not even considered the possibility OF
any other alternative. The admins.
tration believes that Cuba can occupy
toward Spain the same relation which
Canada holds to Great Britain. Spain
will agree to this arrangement, but if
the Cubans do not accept it nothing
more will be done.

RICHMOND EDITORS AT ODDS.
The Richmond police yesterday were
anticipating some sort Of hostile
meeting between the editors of the
Dispatch and the State. This grew out
of bitter editorial which appeared in
the State Thursday and to which re-
ply was made by the Dispatch in its is
sue Yesterday morning. In the last
named article the lie direct was given
to the author of thu editorial in the
State.
The trouble is the outcome of con-
troversy in which the State claimed to
be the only paper il Richmond which
has sincerely advocated free silver.
The State is owned by Mr.. Stilson
Hutchins, of Washington, who bought
it during the campaign last year. AT
ter Mr.. Hutchins acquired the paper it
accepted the Chicago platform and be
came free silver champion. Its pres
emit editorial writer il a New Yorker
Thursday the charge vas made in the
State that the Dispach had changed
it's position on the currency question for
gain. To this the DISPATCH replied that
the author OF the change lied, and STA
newcomer here lied msliciously." 1t
was this that was expected to cause d
fight, but it did no, and the State
yesterday evening tieats the subject
rather lightly.

Illinois Grange Notes.

Ridott Grange, Stephenson county.
has a printed program for all of its
semi-monthly meetings a year ahead.
Manhattan Grange, VIII county, and
Union Grange, Mclean county, each
report a gain of fifteen members.
Granville Grange, Williamson county,
Is but lately organized, yet is awaken
ing the farmers to the necessity OF or
ganizing, and is gaining members.
Friendship Grange, DeKalb county,
will not let the buffet of hard times
run it out, but will work on with cour-
age and perseverance. Mrs. l.. u.
Chapman and o. E. Pratt have been
addressing farmers meetings in that
county. Perry Grange, Pike county, Is
planning for a good years Work; the
three principal officers are ]. w. DOT
sey, c. T. Browning and w. H. Brad
bury. Orange Grange and Rome
Grange, Peoria county, are each gain
ing many new members and planning
work on practical lines in behaH OF
farm interests. C. V. Coulter is out
among the farmers of Crawford county
talking on the topics of organization,
and enrolling names for more new
oranges. C. I. McCollister reports sue
cessful efforts at cooperative buying
and selling in some of the Greene
county oranges, every dollar saved
counts nowadays. Dunlap Grange has
established a minor department or
quips, quirks and bubbles, called the
Chip Basket" not to make fun the
main issue, but for peppery mix with
the graver matters of the program.
From the standpoint of the farmer 1t
don't look quite square that he must
needs trudge off to the post office for
his mail or do without, while Uncle
Sam pays out millions of money to car
ry every mans mail to his own door in
the city. And now congress proposes
to offset the cost of this injustice by an
increased rate on the books the farmer
must get through the mail or do with
out. E. r. Simmons, secretsssy of the
Jersey County Grange don't indorse a
prevalent opinion that the farmers
business is to attend strictly to his
farming, pay his taxes, say nothing
and let the corporations manage the
legislation, whereas it is the farmers
right to inquire if he is paying more
than his share of the taxes; if the law
makers and state officials are extrava-
CANT; if the state institutions are con-
Quoted in an honest and economical
manner, and if the legislators realize
that there are other interests than
those of corporations needing atten-
ton. Hence he sees the necessity of
farmers pushing into the thick of poll
lies. Thos. Ready,
