ANOTHER ENDING.

Commenting on the outcome of the
Pana strike in which a number of lives
were lost and terror reigned for many
months in the mining district of Hi
nois. the ogden STANDARD says:
The complete victory secured by the
urion coal miners OF Pana, Ills, VIII be
received with general satisfaction
throughout the United States, especially
where the rights and dignity OF laoor are
recognized as essential to the uplifting OIL
society.
That is a very different view from
the one entertained by our morning
contemporary 1t would doubtless con-
tend that the union men We're murder
ers and outlaws because several peo-
ple were killed in those riots which
Governor Tanner refused to suppress,
and with which the federal authorities
did not offer to interfere. The Stand
ard says further:
The negro laborers are to be discharged
and the former white employees reinstat-
ed thus ending the race war that grew
out of the strike. The importation of the
colored men was deliberately planned as
an insult and irritant, by way OF punish
had the temerity to ask for concessions
from the operators which they consider
ed Just and proper.
Was this Pana instruction excus-
able because the union men were fight
ing negroes? Is this the reason our
Ogden contemporary receives the result
of this strike with such infinite salts
faction?

WHY WORK is SUSPENDED.

Canyon Road is a beautiful drive-or
it was before it was all torn up by the
waterworks improvement, which can
not be completed until that injunction
suit is disposed of The need of the
city for water is so great that no one
minded the excavations in the canyon.
provided ordinary diligence and reason
able haste were used in finishing the
work.
Nor is it the fault of the city that the
trenches were not filled and the road
leveled for driving long ago. The city
began the work at the proper season
and was prosecuting it with vigor, when
three very estimable gentlemen put an
end to it all with injunction proceed
ings.
The workmen were busily engaged
now idle. not caring to look for other
employment, as they hope this matter
viii soon be adjusted SO that the work
may proceed in one way or another.
AS badly as the city needs water. as
much as the laborer needs work. the
construction of these improvements or
dered by the city council is delayed be-
cause certain gentlemen profess to be
dissatisfied with the official under
whose direction the work was being
done.
And yet the law authorizes this par
ticular official to take charge of such
improvements, while the men behind
this injunction suit are largely respon-
sible for the appointment of the official
to whom they now object.
When people out driving wonder why
the road up City creek is allowed to
remain torn up for such an unreason-
able length of time, and when laboring-
men inquire the reason they are pre-
vented from going ahead with the work
they engaged to do, let them remember
the injunction suit.

FOREIGN DEMAND.

In his last circular Henry Clews, the
Wall street broker, explains that 1T
was not to be expected that the ex-
traordinary excess of exports over I'M
ports could be maintained indefinitely.
From the way some eastern newspa-
pers have been trying to make political
capital out of the matter one might
have been led to believe that ii was
as much a permanent part of the ad-
ministration as Alger seems 10 be.
Clews explains the extraordinary &C
tivitv in exports as follows: 1T has
been due to exceptional temporary con-
ditions, both domestic and foreign
which are beginning to gradually dis
appear"
This is a very different explanation
from what champions of Dingleylsm
have been making. And he says fur
Their: I'VE find the April returns OF
foreign trade exhibiting decrease OF
s11 600 coo in exports and an increase
of $4,000 O0O in imports; the result be-
ing that the balance for that month is
500. SOC. 600 less in our favor than in the
same month of 1898. The totals for
the two months, March and April, pet
ter express the extent of this reaction
For those two months of last year, the
excess of exports was $94, 100000, while
for March and April, 1899, the excess
was only s54, O.OOO; which shows a
falling off in the creditor balance OF
$50 soc, OOO for the two months, or at the
rate of $23S. 900, 600 per year"
This decline is to be regretted, OF
course. But it shows that our export
trade depends upon foreign demand
rather than any tariff schedule in this
country, as proteetionists have been
trying to make the public believe.
Even the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser. after all its 'I-told-you-so'
editorials and it's greeful predictions for
a constant increase of export trade
under the benign influences of Ding
levism. comes out with a long eXpla-
nation which begins with the following
sentence:
ut was not to be expected that the
enormous excess of merchandise eX-
ports for 1897 and 1898 would continue
much longer"

About An Even Thing.
Defroit Free PraSs

A well known member of the Detroit
bar tells this story: "Some years ago
attended a session OF the circuit court
up in the state. A pro confesso divorce
case was called, and it so happened
that the judge was very much opposed
to divorces, especially those which
were unopposed. After the attorney
for the complainant in this case had
announced himself as ready to proceed,
the judge asked if any one appeared for
the defendant. There was silence for a
moment and the judge repeated the
question. At one end of the lawyers
table sat an attorney who had acquired
the liuuor habit and who was. at the
time, considerably under the influence
of stimulants. He was noticed strug-
Cling to get on his feet, and, on OBJ
serving him. the judge seized the OPP
portunity and asked:
do you appear for the defendant,
Mr.. Blank?'
"'No, your honor, I merely rose to
remark as friend of the court" that
with Brother Doubleblank as attorney
for the complainant and no one on the
other side, it was about an even thing
Then Blank resumed his seat while
the whole court roared with laughter"

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Wheeler and the Verse-makers.
(Philadelphia Post.)


They tell many stories about General
Fighting joe Wheeler. He is a IA
miliar sight in Washington, where he
has been most of the time since recon-
struction days. AS a speaker he is a
rare favorite in the house, not so much
because of what he says as because
of his manner. He is said to be much
more composed in battle than in de-
bate.
Since the war began he has been the
recipient of more laudatory poems
probably than any other officer in the
army. Even in Scotland and England
tributes have been written in verse
praising the valor of the little man from
Alabama. On one occasion recently he
received a charminglv written sonnet
in his honor, composed by a world
famed poet. He is said to have been
so pleased by the compliment that he
had his secretary write to the poet
about as follows:
MY Dear Sir:-I don't know why you
have honored me to such an extent. L
really am only a humble worker in the
service of my flag"
The answer, refreshingly frank, was
as follows:
My Dear Sir:-Of course the poem
was inspired by your bravery. but that
was really not the chief cause of it's
composition. 1 wrote it because it was
so easy to make things rhyme with

sequently purchased from him by anA
other popular subscription and present
ed to his military successor, General
Sherman. who sold it eventually.
Homes were also given Grant in Phil
adelphia and in Galena, Ills. A house
was given to General Meade in Phila-
deiphia, and to General Sheridan in
Chicago And when General Hancock
died a beautiful Washington home was
presented to his widow.
So there are many precedents to fol-
low, but all the same the advice of the
Post is worth needing.

THE FLOWER OF FAME.
Robert Underwood Johnson.)

(RObert Underwood Johnson)
He sought it before the bilIow of spring
on the meadow was SEEN
When only the flush of the willow was
tracing the river with green.
He scanned to the edge of the fraying
SHOWS that dappled the mountain
slope,
And ever too late the March sun rose: for
he searched the world with hope.
/ saw him at noon of the summer day
and that was his favorite hour
To one who had hunted from March to
May. and never had found a flower:
For the light was full. as though the sun
were aiding his eager quest.
And there were no warning shadows to
run Ger his path from east TO west
And still In September's purple and gold
he was hunting the grudging ground,
But not with the steady eye of old or the
springtimes joyous bound;
II he stopped in his feverish roaming
twas to question the darkling air;
Too early came the cleaning; he was
searching with dispair.
The Flower of Every Valley, the Flower
of All the Year,
And while. for a chance of the rarest,
he wanders in storm or heat.
He is blind to the charm of the fairest;
he is crushed beneath his feet.
Deep in whose broken blossom the dew
lies like tear.

was enlivened today by the appearance of

this site to the secretary, who listened to
all that was said, but made no promise.
Another caller was Mr.. p. H. Lannan

to be located on the Continental site If

Patti Had MANY Heavens.

scending from her car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed:

VCToRIA'S BIRTHDAY.

Eighty years ago today Queen Nicto-
ria was born at Kensington palace.
Some wonderful changes have taken
place in this old world since her now
falling eyes first beheld the light She
has lived through the age of mans
greatest achievements. The earth and
the secret forces thereof he has turned
to account. Eighty years have wrought
marvels in means and methods of
transportation, communication, COM
merce, warfare and every art to which
Industrious and ingenius man has
: turned his attention.
The application of steam has been
perfected, electricity has been har-
trate every continent, and artificial
suns CLEAN in halnlets and in cities
which did not exist when Victoria, the
daughter of the Duke of Kent, was
a child. A journey like that made re-

France, with speed and comfort. was
made with difficulty in her girlhood, in
a numbering coach, and trips that re
Quired three years or more to make in
those days may be made today in forty
days or less.
She never dreamed when she used to
ride a gayly caparisoned donkey
round Kensington gardens, of the lux
ury now so generally enjoyed by boys
and girls of the middle classes. And
the customs of her court, as we'll as
the geography of her empire have
changed since her coronation at the
age of Is.
1t is recalled that when she was
crowned she was likewise decorated
with the insignia of the Order of the
Garter. the highest order of knight
hood in England. There was some
doubt as to where the garter should be
Worn. The left arm was finally decided
on.
\ few years after the coronation she
was welded to Prince Albert of Sake
Coburg-Gotha But it was some time
before the Prince Censort ascertained
his true position in the realm The
queen was very proud of him and de-
voted, but the law gave him no social
precedence. Lord Adbermarle, master
of the horse, maintained that he had
the right to sit in the queens carriage
on state occasions, and not the Prince
Consort. The Duke of Wellington, how
ever, gave his opinion that the queen
could put Lord Albemarle where she
liked-either on top of the coach or be-
meath it, or anywhere else.
The other day Victoria took part in
what may be her last public function. .
1t was the dedication of an institution
preservative and promotive of science
and art, the achievements of which are
a leading characteristic of the Victo-
rian age 1t was a fitting close to her
public acts. which have been always
in the interest of peace and progress.
She is a grand woman, for there are
few who would not have stumbled I'M
der the weight of power and prestige
that rested so gracefully on her shoul-
ders for over sixty years. The woman
who wears a crown so long and so
worthiiy merits the good will of the
world and the affectionate greetings
of civilization everywhere.

QUARRELS WITH ITSELF.

Our morning contemporary should try
and come to an understanding with
itself. 1t should also remember that it
is questionable taste to try to cover
the tracks of the politician with the
leaves OF tender recollections.

morning the Tribune said:
Mr.. Lannan went east week ago to at
tend the Associated Press meeting in Chi
cago; to attend TO some private business
in New York and Washington. and posi-
bly, TO run day up 10 Massachusetts
where his dead brothers widow and child
rem and where his parents graves are.
Before going, he never expressed any
preference for any particular site for the
government building. and so Indifferent
was he that he would not attend a meet
ing called 10 fix up proposition to sub
init the Continental corner for such site.
