II has not been long since a table tend
ing to prove that there have been fewer
strikes during times OF panic than when
the country is most prosperous was widely
circulated and made the most of by the
Popuhst press. II Is not clear that the
Populist argument was strengthened by
the alleged statistics; but II IS worth
while 10 note that Commissioner OF Labor
Wright has deemed the matter important
enough for the issuance OF a bulletin in
which he expressly denies the authenticity
OF the table. and especially statements
that Il was prepared by him. This is on
q par with false quotations from speeches
by lincoln and others Of the nations
great men extensively published during
the last campaign. Chickens generally

appears that they had not arrived until
dawn had broken over a happy and pros
porous land.

Authentic reports from Alaska and
the Northwest territory no longer
leave the slightest doub, as TO the con-
ditions there AT the close OF the pres
ent season. Several thousand miners
are facing an early and unusually Sc
we're winter. with scarcely enough sup
plies for one-half their number: and
no relief Is available unless prompt
action Is taken, except as the miners
travel down the river 10 caches OF sup
plies at distances so great as TO make
food well-nigh inaccessible. The most
sanguine authorities. while saying that
starvation need not necessarily result
from such conditions. agree that ex-
IRENE suffering Is inevitable.
Under the foregoing circumstances,
the government IS making a mistaken
effort to forestall distress by the estab-
lishmeat OF a reindeer express from

Birmingham Coal in Mexico.

A Pensacola dispatch states that a cargo of coal has been loaded in that port to be carried to Vera Cruz, where it will be tested by the Mexican Railway company. A coal expert goes with the coal, and no doubt is expressed as to the result. Heretofore the railroad com pany has been supplied with coal from England and Wales.
 Strange as it mty seem, our laws gave England a. monopoly of that market We levied a tonnage tax that rendered a coal trade in Mexico well nigh im- possible; but in the last days of congress Representatives Underwood and Wheel CT succeeded in passing an amendment that permits Mexican ships, for exam pie, to load cargoes in our ports with out paying a tonnage or any other tax if Mexico permits our ships to load and unload like cargoes in her ports without incurring tonnage taxes. As Mexico

T. T. Peck. Of Columbus university, says that education means ambition, and ann bitlon means discomfort. Compulsory education, therefore. causes compulsory discomfort. The professor concludes by saying:
 Could anything be more fatuous or more dangerous from a statesman's point Of view? The thoroughly pernicdous fruits of sneh a policy ana already visl- bie. We see on every hand great masses of men stirred by a vague dis satisfaction with their lot, their brains added and confused by doctrine that is only half the truth and vaguely under stood, yet thoroughly adapted to make them ripe for the work of the agitator and the enemy of public order.
 The great problem of the ruling classes just now, in educational matters. is to make the masses think that educa- ton is free for all, while the school ma chinery will be made so complicated and expensive that only the weA-to-do can reap its benefits In some localities in this country the poor are practically shut out from the public schools by ex- pensive books frequently changed; long terms to the graduates. the studies, etc.
 The honest educational reforner sur veys the situation with disgust. If the public sclhcol system cannot be better conducted than it is in some states 1t would be we'll to abolish it entirely and make a new start. Under existing conditions the children of a poor work ing man go to school to learn the bitter lesson of discontent. and it is only a step from discontent to desperation. The whole system needs everhauling before MT Cleye1snd's idea gains a foothoCd.

1evies no tonnage or other taxes upon vessels loaded with coal or coke, it foi- lows that our ponts are now free to her vessels that come here for coal or coke. The Mexican Railway company owns vessels and as taxation stood until our representatives took hold Of the subject, it could not afford to send vessels here to be loaded with coal-the tonnage duty rendering English coal the cheaper.
 Hereafter English coal will have to hump itself if It undersells Birmingham coal in Mexico-a country full of smeit- ing works. and railroads, and new fac tories-a country with high industrial ambitions-a country, tco, that has very little coal of It's own. In 1882 there were only two coal mines in operation. It is in fact great market, and the coal re- gently loaded Gt Pensacola may be the beginning of trade of great propor- tfons

Jefferson on Whisky.

President Jefferson was the man who stopped the whisky traffic among the Indians. He took hold of that great evil in the second year of his administration.
 The Father of American Democracy did not have much use for whisky. In a aetter ito Gen. Samuel Smith he wrote:
 q shall be glad if aln additfonl tax of one-fourdh of @ dollar a gallon on whisky shall enable us to meet our engag agements with punctualbty. Viewing that tax as an article in a system of excise, I was once glad to see 1t fall with the rest of the system, which I considered as pre- maturely and unnecessarily Introduced Ut was evident that our existing taxes were then equal Ito our existing debts It was clearly foreseen also that the sur plus from excise would only become aalment for useless officers, and would be swallowed up in idleness by those whom 1t would withdraw frcen useful in- dustry. Considering 1t only as a fiscal measure, this was r.glhlt
 But the prostra,ion of body and mind which the cheapneS,S of tlhlS liQllor is spreading through the mass of our citi- gems now calls the attention of the legis- lagor on very different principle. One of his important dlsties is as guardian of those who from causes susceptible of precise definition cannot take care of themselves. Such are infants, maniacS, gamblers, drunkards. The last. as much as the maniac, requires restrictive meas ares to save him from the fatal infatu- ation under which he is destroying his alealth, his morals, his family and his usefulness to society. One powerful ob- stacle to lhis ruinous seIf-indulgence would be a price beyond his competence. As a sanitary measure, therefore, it be- comes one of duty in tlpe public guard ians.''
 State, county and municipal taxes on whisky would have suited Jefferson bet. ter than a federal revenue tax Lquoi is not necessary as a beverage, and 3 high tax would not interfere with its use as 8 medicine. because when a mar takes prescribed doses he consumes only a very small quamt.fy.
 High priced liquor, as beverage would be beyond the reach of the poor tlle class it injures most. If the rich choose ito put their money into circula- tion by buying the s,tuff nobody would object.
