Review of Reviews.


Technically, the mine operators were
within their lawful rights in bringing the
negro miners from the South. The negroes
themselves had a right under the Consti-
tuition of the United States to go from one
State to another and to accept the work
which other men had refused. Governor
Tanner assumed a very serious responsible
ity in refusing to send state forces to main
tain order where so dangerous a situation
was known to exist Nevertheless, it is
hard to have any sympathy or patience
with the coal companies. For many years
past the history of the treatment Of coal
miners in Illinois has been one dark recital
of treachery and oppression. 1t would seem
that the men have been willing at any time
to submit their claims to fair arbitration
The strikers were wrong in forming them
selves into armed bodies, and in doing so
they forfeited most of the sympathy to
which they might otherwise have been en-
titled Coal mining, both in this country and
in England, is a business that seems to
need some exceptional regulation by law
In hardly any other industry have strikes
been protracted and turbulent. To con-
slider these Illinois troubles as primarily
racial is an utter mistake. The fact that
the imported miners are negroes rather than
white men is merely incidental

Washington Special.

One conspicuous development of the New

substantial among the Germans to be led by
those who have heretofore assumed to con-
troll the German vote. This is accounted for
in "A measure by the fact that the Germans
