The Miners Strike.

The condition of the labor market is
certainly against the strikers. for many
idle men are eager to take the places of
the strikers for the poor wages they have
refused Toronto Globe.
The fuse has been lighted. and it is the
general judgment that a terrific explosion
will speedily follow unless the heel Of
friendly Intervention shall promptly be
brought down on the suffering POWDER
New York Journal.
The strike of the coal miners is not like.
ly to have any other result than to make
the last state Of the operatives worse than
the first. Circumstances entirely apart
from the grievances of the miners point
to that concusion.-New York Tribune.
The hope is general that some sort OF
an agreement may be reached by which
the suTerings that must attend a long
strike Eiay be averted until improved con-
dtions in the coal trade will enable the
miners 10 secure what they deserve, fair
living agcs.-Whecling lntelligencer.
If the strike shall last ten weeks and
the miners then gain the increase of Is
per cent demanded, it would require them
to work for tifty-tivc weeks at the in
creased rates to restore the loss they sus-
tain by ten weeks of idleness. This is not
theory; It is stubborn facts.--Philadelphia
Times.
1t is unfortunate that the miners are
compelled by their own miserable condi.
ton to select the most unfuvorable time
of the year and most unfavOrable year.
1t is to he hoped that they will abide by
their very sensible pledges to refrain from
disorder and to maintain respect for law.
In that way alone can they hope to sue
ceed.--New York World.
1t is in the power of Congress and the
President to arrest this gigantic strike,
hardly YET begun, by Offering arbitration
to the labOrers and capitalists facing each
other for Il struggle the anticipated ac-
compartments of which fill with dread cv-
cry intelligent man acquainted with the
history Of great strikes and informed as
to the special conditions that prevail in
the coal mining rcgions.-New York
Journal.
No class of laborcrS enlists as instant
and as hearty sympathy as do the coal
miners. The most IF their life is spent
in low, erimy. dimly lighted caverns at
severe and monotonous toll. Time ought
soon to come when only convicts and the
utter failures and incompetents will be
condemned to this sunless and joyless life
of the mines. Meanwhile every uplifting
force in cur social system ought to be di-
rected to aiding the miners to get decent
wages and improved conditions of work
ing and living.-EXchangc.

States.
On Wednesday last President
Mckinley sent a special message to
Congress calling attention to the
suffering and restitution resulting
tom the overaows in Mississippi,
Arkansas and other States, and
recommending liberal aPpropria~
ton for the relief of the victims. A
bill.providing S7oo, 900 for this pur~
pose was at once submitted, passed
by both the Senate and the House
of representatives and signed by
the president, all before the setting
of Wednesdays sun. Such prompt
ness and zeal in the cause of hu-
manity is beyond all praise.-Don~
jacksonville Chief.
There has grown up in this coun~
try class of corporation lawyers
who make. a specially of the bust
ness of reorganizingl bankrupt rail-
road corporations, and they are re-
ported to have paid enormous
profits out of the misfortuncs of in
vestors. The fact is, the legal fra
ternity, who of old time we're pre-
eminent for their public spirit and
high sense of honor, seem to be de-
generating, with the rest of the
would, into shysters and unscrupu-
lous tricksters. Time was when
even an implied pledge of a gentle
man of the bar was as binding upon
him as his bond. but,ss:as a rule.
that condition has..'passed' Into the
limbo of forgotten things.

The~action of the Board of Par
dons~ in this matter demonstrates
the fact that a man possessing pol:t-
ical influence can commit almost
any crime, no matter how vile or
infamous, and go unwipped of JUS
tice. Under our miserable system
of criminal laws, it is exceedingly
difficult, particularly in New Or
leans, to convict evil-doers. Why,
then, should the taxpayers and the
States prosecuting officers be put
to the expense and trouble of at
tempting to punish criminals and
protect society if, Immediately af-
ter conviction, apardon is to fol-
low Why not, indeed, wipe out
our criminal code and let crime run
riot7 There is altogether too much
of this Internal pardoning business,
anyway, and it is high time the
press of Louisiana should protest
in thunder tones against it. AS a
matter of fact, the laws seem to be
framed for the poor and friendiess
to observe the rich and inf1uen-
tial can defy them with impunity.

We are quite prepared to con-

membered that that bill is immeas-

SO far as sugar, rice and lumber are
concerned. Moreover, despite all
assertions to the contrary, the tariff

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected in the Papers Of this
Great State.

That is the sort of a fighter Don
Caffery is. He does not belong to
that feeble breed of fighters who
are ready to whip the enemy by lay
ing down their armsj who, on the
eve of a pitched battle with the
enemy, exclaim, t'rhey are going
to take our position any way and
we might as we'll let them have it,"
Senator Caffery is no political her
maphrodite. He does not believe in
whipping the enemy by laying down
his arms and letting the foe fall
into the trap he has set for himself.
