oyERpRopUcr1oN OF COAL.

In the last year there has been serious
trouble among the coal miners, and there
is likely to be more Of the same sort at
frequent intervals right along. The truth
is that considering the amount of coal con-
sumed in this country there are too many
miners.
According to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, the annual consumption of coal in
the United States Is less than 200, 600. 90
tens. and il the mines Of the country were
worked full time this amount could be pro-
drced in a little less than ninety days. It
is estimated that the $50, 900 miners Of the
country could produce annually SEQ, 10000
tons of coal. working full time. or three
times as much as the country at present
consumes. There can be no mistaking the
meaning OF these facts. There must be an
enormous Increase in consumption, the
number Of miners must be reduced, or TIE
strikes and lockout and their distressing
accomplishments must continue.
The most practical way Of Increasing con-
sumption Of coal. clearly enough, is by
multiplying factories, shops, mills and all
other kinds of industrial plants requiring
the use of machinery and engines. The
best policy for the coal miners. therefore,
is the policy which encourages enterprises
Of this character n increases their num-
Der and working time. 1t is needless to
tel. intelligent people that this is the policy
advocated and maintained by the Repub-
iioan party in the shape of a protective
tariff ~

GOVERNOR ATKINsON's UPHILL
TASK.

The praiseworthy efforts of the governor
of Georgia to secure legislation for the
suppression of lynching and mob violence
generally is, %unhappily.f meeting with
small success. The legislature is clearly
not In sympathy with the effort to redeem
Georgia's good name as a law abiding
commonwealth. There were only two OPP
drawn up to upset a supreme court decis-
ion to the effect that a mar was guilty of
murder If he waited three days after an
insult before killing his enemy. The word
ing of the bill leaves to juries the decision
whether a sufficient time has elapsed after
an insult for the voice of reason and hui
mainly to be heard To people Of most
any other state, 1t is quite as remarkable
that a court should have undertaken to
recognize the heat of passion as justifica-
ton of murder as that a legislature should
remove a time limit on this plea.
With both the courts and the legislature
against him, Governor Atkinson will find
it difficult to make much Roadway in his
agitation for law and order in Georgia. A
public sentiment which condones murder
when committed in the heat of passion,
and refuses to limit the heat of passion to
three days, is not likely to object very
seriously to the hanging by mobs of men
who commit other crimes. 1t appears that
Georgia is not as well along on the way to
a higher and better civilization as the
country was led to hone.

CHARGES OF JURY pRIBIxG.

Ene people of Kansas City and jackson
county expect a thorough investigation of
the charges against Ross W. Latshaw, &C.
cused Of attempting to bride a venireman
in the Goddard murder case. That is the
least that can be expected of Prosecutor
Lowe. WHO ordered Latshaw's arrest.
Mr.. Lowe has subjected himself to severe
criticism for the time and manner of bring
ing about this arrest, for the proceedings
had all the appearance of an effort to infiu-
ence the jury against Goddard as well as
to satisfy the community that the prose-
cutor was doing something to get to the
bottom of the crookedness of our criminal
jury system.
But what Is of more concern to the pub
lie than the prosecution of Ross w. Lat
shaw is a thorough investigation of all the
other charges that have been made, for 1t
is claimed by those who have the best OPP
portunities to be informed, that jury fixing
has been carried on systematically by a
gang of disreputable politicians and court
room ~loafers, and that it has been done
with the knowledge or in spite of those
whose sworn duty it is to protect the COM
munity against such despicable crimes.
limitations of this sort have been made
against those interested in the prosecution
rs we'll as those engaged in the defense of
persons charged with high crimes. On
the one hand they have been sustained by
numerous and conspicuous instances of the
miscarriage of justice. and on the other
hand they have been given some plausibil-
ity by peculiar methods of procedure and
questionable associations in the prosecuting
attorneys office.
There is no security, under the present
system of selecting substitutes for grand
5urymen who are unable 10 serve, against
the fixing of the grand jury itself. II the
grand jury is vulnerable. what recourse
has the public against the abuses of the
whole jury system?
II II is true that a gang of disreputable
pluggers has been giving Prosecutor Lowe
active assistance In making up his juries.
how are the charges to be presented to the
grand jury? 1t is the duty of the prose-
cutor to lay complaints before the grand

Grand Army of the Republic.

According to the last general report
of the Grand Army Of the Republic it
it would seem that by no means all Of
the veterans of the late war belong to
that organization. The number of
members, in all the encampments, was,
last year, 340,61O. The number Of pen
sioners classed as 'invalids," in 1895,
was 75O,951. Most, if not all, of these
were soldiers and sailors in actual SER
vice. If these two showings are cor

hundreds and thousands more who had
the good fortune to escape being wound
ed during the struggle.
