TIE COAL STRIKE.

President Mckinley loves to chirp
about prosperity, but close on to $50, 900
miners, together with their families in
the Pennsylvania coal regions are strik-
ing against a situation that almost paup-
cries them. The $50, 600 men who re-
bel against existing conditions are not
the only sufferers; 800, 900 women and
children share with them the pangs OF
hunger, and all the humiliating and dis
tressing incidents connected with his
colossal struggle against collective
wealth Strikes are unfortunate, and
they are often right and in the present
case the men are justified in the stand
they take Most of them were laboring
amid the bowels Of the earth where
danger lurked in every crevice and cor
ner and the remuneration for this slav-
cry was but 80 cents day.

A STATE GoTERNMENT rHREArENED

The threatened trouble In Kentucky may
probably be avoided by enforcement of the
Constitution Of the United States It has many
N times happened within the last half century
that the provisions of that venerable charter of
liberty, when studied in the light of new and
seemingly unavoidable embarrassments, have
been found TO provide a remedy and a safe
guard for liberty. No sober man of either party
doubts that the Goebel law as it was employed
TO aid Democrats IN the election and is now
used by them in the Legislature is perfectly
answering the intention of its author. who
meant TO make it impossible for the majority
Of the people to control their State Government,
If that majority proved to be Republican The
majority did prove to be Republican. The ut
most efforts TO secure certificates of election
for Democratic candidates through the fraudu-
lent use of the law were defeated. The official
returns declared that the Republican Governor
was elected. and the number of Democrats in
the Legislature who hold that conviction is so
large that several members who were duly
elected must be turned out in high handed vio-
lstion of law. as one on Saturday, before
majority TO declare Goebel elected can be mus
tered.
In the presence OF such crimes against self
government it is always difficult to determine
how far the letter of the law can be obeyed
without destroying its purpose and spirit. More
than once in the history of peace loving and
free Commonwealths ii has been found neces-
sary to resort TO armed force to prevent the
peryersion Of all law But every good citizen
nevertheless realizes that no such step can ever
be taken or tolerated while there exists any
other mode OF preserving the liberties of the
people. Until Kentuckians have exhausted all
remedies. and know that nothing but their own
arms can maintain their freedom, they are
under the most sacred obligations to obey the
law, however basely contrived and executed for
criminal ends.
The Constitution Of the United States, Article
". Section f. provides that "the United States
''shan guarantee to every State in this Union a
republican form of government" No refine
ment or pettifogging can get rid Of the plain
meaning Of these words. No official, Judge or
Of the United States can without
violation of his oath shrink from any duty
which the plain meaning Of the words devolves
upon him. In some form the people of Ken
lucky. who are in process of being robbed of a
republican form OF government, have the right
10 obtain from the United States relief and
security in the exercise of their rights as free
.itizens Of self-governing State.
Tt is not well to attempt here to determine
which of the different modes of interposition is
most fitting. The question can be taken to the /!
Supreme Court of the United States, and that /
would be the most natural remedy If the Court, |
lpon entertaining the case, finds itself empow- !
red TO enjoin all parties from proceeding /
urther in their project TO overturn free govern
nent in Kentucky until the question can be con-
4dered by the courts and decided. But un-

here TO point out that the Constitution puts a
plain and solemn duty somewhere; whether
upon the President or Congress or the Supreme
Court in this case has to be considered. The
