GARNETT, KANSAS, OCTOBER 7, 1898.
Editorial Silence.

The September number of The Outlook con-
taius the following article, which is well worthy
OF perusal 1t shows the utter unIeliability of
i majority OF the metropolitan newspapers:
Following the report of the New York
Canal Commission that Superintendent Aldrldge
had distributed among the newspapers seven
times the requisite sum for advertising his con-
tracts, attention is called by the Springfield
Republican to the manner in which 'advertis-
ing figures among the expenditures OF corpora
tons employing lobbyists at the Boston capitol.
Under an act passed during Governor Russell's
administration, every person or corporation
employing COUNSEL TO appear before the Massa-
,chusetts legislature IS obliged to make sworE
return of all payments made in promoting or
opposing the legislation fer which the counsel
was engaged. Last winter, bill was intro
duced providing for state supervision of tele-
phone rates. The great body OF Bostou's tele
phone subscribers pctitioned in favor of its
principle, but the Boston newspapers-with the
exception of the Post, which ardently advocat-
ed the measure-were either silent or hostile.
1t now appears, from the sworn reports of the
tCISpnOAS SOuip6Hyi NnuSi iOoOt oSlY ehnt
of S7,756 expended directly in opposing this
measure, $500 paid ont in advertising.
A correspondent through whom we verified the
Republicans statement sends us list Of the
payments made to the several paper'. With
the exception of the Post, every prominent
secular paper in Boston and its suburbs seems
TO have received share. No distinction seems
10 have been made as TO politics. The three
heaviest payments were made to papers of diff
ferent affiliations. The Journal (Republican)
receMed 81 ,oIS, the Herald independently re-
oeived $500, and the Globe (Democratic), $3.50.
Seventeen other papers received smaller Sums.
There is not the slightest evidence that any one
of the pape-s was directly asked TO favor the
attitude of the telephone company, but, as the
Sprin6eld Republican remarks, while 1t may
not be cause and effect, those corporations
winch pay lavishly for reading matter are sell
dom, or never, attacked in the editorial col
urnns.' The incident again presses home the
conclusion that the leadership OF tie press can
not be blindy followed. Il is necessary for the
public to observe and think for itself"

INHUMAN CONDITIONS.
Women and Children Starving in PennSyl-
vania.

In the coal regions of Pennsylvania, women
and children are starving because sturdy, IN
dustrious men, Injured to the hardships of min
ing and ready to brave its peris, can find no
work. Gaunt misery is afoot in every min
ing town. The wolf is at every door. There
life at its best offers to little children nothing
but stunning toll in debasing associations; to
women naught but squalid poverty and that
aching fear of the future which makes mother
hood burden instead of joy, and to such a
denial of opportunity for advancement that
every high aspiration is stilled and such daily
round of worry that the pleasures which brutal
ize and stupefy are the ones that most appeal to
natures which MAY justly envy the brute.
Such is the situation in the anthracite region.
Such it long has been, and newspapers of every
varying shade OF political belief and social
honesty have described it and denounced IT.
In the midst of a nation which went to war 10
relieve the suffering OF the reconcentrados,
exists, and long has existed, a condition of
destituion and wholesale starvation hardly out
done under Weyler. This is matter of conf
mon notoriety. The nation cannot plead ig-
norance in its own defense, for within two
years the whole unutterable misery of the an
thracite coal miners given the widest
publicity when some thirty miners, who thought
to protest, under the protection of the Ameri-
can flag, were shot down by rifles in the hands
of the coal companies servants.
This exercable and un- American situation is
the outcome of corporate greed, and corporate
greed is about to make it more unbarable still.
The presidents of the anthracite coal lines met
in New York office and and agreed to raise
the price of coal to the consumer and lessen the
amount of work for the miners. Hitherto the
miners have had the fruits of two days labor a
week on which to support their families. Now
they are to have but one days work, on which
to starve Who profits by this rernorseless
economy at the pits mouth? Not the con-
sunler of coal, for the very who cut down
the miners pay put up the price of the product
How long shall the inhuman conditions which
surround coal mining in Pennsylvania be per-
mtted? How long shall trust, fortified by its
control of railroads, be allowed to rob consunl-
ers OF hard coal and slowly murder its produc-
ers and those dependent upon the1n?-New
York Journal.
