THE COAL STRIKE.

Assuming that the ten per cent ad-
vance in wages offered by the anthracite
coal operators covers all the substantial
demands Of the miners, the latter will
make a bad mistake and ALLEVIATE public
sympathy to a large extent If they refuse
to accept it because it is not accompanied
with a formal recognition of the miners
union. 1t is not of great Importance to
the miners whether the union is formal
Iy. recognized or not. Refusal to reoog-
nize it does not dissolve it or essentially
weaken it. AS long as the union COM
mands the support of the miners, as long
as they belong to it and act together,
the operators have got to reckon with 1t
whether they formally recognize it or not.
The miners can afford to treat the re-
fusal to formally recognize as little
piece of petulance on the part Of the
operators, the product OF an effort to
salve their wounded pride, and pay no
attention to it. If President Mitchell
could forget himself, and act only for
the best interests of the miners, this is
the way he would advise them to treat
it. He would point out to them, what Is
the fact, that it was the union that had
compelled the operators to raise wages,
and that It's victory was no less a triumph
because the operators refused to formally
aokno Wedge that they had suocumbed
to it's power He would advise them that
long as th3y had won the substance 1t
was not worth while to pursue the
shadow. But there are signs that Mr..
Mitchell, like the great majority Of the
labor leaders, is more anxious to gain
a personal triumph than simply to help
the workmen, The refusal Of the opera
tors to address the miners through him
is CALLING to his pride. He wants recog-
milton. He wants the operators to pros
trate themselves before him and humbly
beg him to counsel the miners to accept
their offer. This they are not disposed
to do, and therefore Mr.. Mitchell is In
clined to advise the miners to stand out
in the hope of bringing them to reoog-
nize him. That is to say the contest has
now degenerated Into a question simply
Of whose pride shall ke humbIed, that
of the operators or that of Mr. Mitchell.
The public certainly Will not look upon
Mr. Mitohells pride as of sufficient con-
sequence to justify a continuance of the
strike, and the miners, if they consult
their own interests, Will also take this
view of it. and go to work.

The proposition which the Boston 81
Maine railroa1 made to the city last
night is, substantially, that In considera.
tIon of a perpetual right to use a strip of
the Marginal Way on the outside or in
the center for its tracks, the road will
pay to the city SO, 600 in cash and build
Anderson street at an estimated cost of a
little over S10,0 0C0. That is, the road offers
for this perpetual right what Is equfva-
lent to about $50, 600, and also agrees to
maintain so much OF the way as it occu-
pies. While this proposition does not.
strictly speaking. contemplate a sale
of any part of the Marginal Way, it will,
If accepted, practically amount to the
disposal OF a strip twenty-six feet wide,
for perpetual occupancy and VIII put the
road in exclusive possession OF 1t. We
have been inclined to object to the city's
putting this property out of its control
and the first proposition which did this
completely we opposed. This one is more
favorable to the city, and is relieved to
some extent of the objection to the first
inasmuch as it enables the city to
remove the tracks from the outside to
The Portland daily press., 1900-10-02

the centre of The way when the way
is fully completed. Thus while the per-
petuaI right to have a track somewhere
in the Way is given the road, the city
is empowered to determine just where
it shall be, and to change It's location,
even after it is laid, If it Will be for the
city's interest to do SO. The Marginal
Way was built around Back Bay for a
railroad and it has been occupied by a
railroad ever since. We suppose it Will
be for the city's interest to have strip
OF it always occupied by railroad In
deed it cannot fulfil one of the purposes
for which it was designed unless 1t Is
SO occupied An agreement to allow
railroad to perpetually occupy it, under
restriction and for a proper compensation,
would not therefore seem to be tnlm1cal
to the city's interests. 1t seems to US
that a very Important point has been
gained III bringing the road to agree to
the city's changing the location from
the outside to the centre If that shall at
any time appear to be better for the city
interests Perhaps further concessions can
be obtained. Our citizens are to be given
full opportunity to be heard on the mat
ter and we hope they will take advan'
tage of it. The question Is an important
one and should be considered in ali Its
aspects before final action is taken, We
have had no time to study the PROPOSE
tion thoroughly, but it strikes US as an
i'm proVement over the drst one.

There is no confirmation nor any denial
that the Chinese government, has decided
to degrade Prince Tuan and put him on
trial for his part in the recent uprising.
Assuming the report to be true it marks
a new departure and one which II per-
sisted in will go long way to get China
out of her present difficulty without de-
struction or dismem mberment. The real
Emperor is known to be man OF liberal
and progressive tendencies. Indeed it
was his efforts to reform the empire that
led to hisVpractical deposal by the En-
press Dowager. 1t would seem from the
sudden change of policy on the part OF
the government that he had in some way
recovered control and was now debating
the programme. But there is a goo1 deal
of mystery about the whole matter, and
it is too early to assume that the anti
foreign element of the government has
permanently lost It's grip. The Empress
Dowager may be sacrificing some of them
temporarily with view of strengthening
matters out with the former, only to re-
instate them again when the present
trouble has blown over.

Apparently no first class power has
yet assented to Germany's proposition
TO make the delivering up for punish
ment OF the instigators OF the Chinese
uprising a condition precedent OF nego-
tiations, unless possibly France, Russia
apparently stands with the United States,
both as regards bhis proposition and the
Withdrawal of troops, while England has
as yet given no definite answer II Ger
many sticks to her proposal she Will be
without any powerful ally, and if she un-
dertakes to enforce her demand by troops
she will have to light unassisted Per-
haps she would not object to that If she
could, after she had brought the Chinese
to terms, do as she saw fit with the coun-
try, but of course the other powers
would not permit that.

Ex-Secretary OF the Treasury Carlisle
will not follow ex-Seoretary of State
Olney into the Bryan camp. Probably
Mr.. Carlisle is not very well pleased
with the Mckinley administration, be-
ing a Democrat, but the alternative OF a
Bryan administration is in his estima-
tion good deal worse Mr.. Carlisle has
had charge OF the treasury, and therefore
appreciates the danger to the currency
involved in having a silver man in that

THE NEW SUPREME JUDGE.

The appointment, by the governor. to
fill the vacancy on the supreme court
bench caused by the death OF Judge
Thomas h. Haskell, will soon be made.
That this position is one of such i'm
portance that great care should be exer-
cised in making the appointment goes
without saying. The o1tice of supreme
justice is one OF the most Important, in
the State. The occupant should be
chosen for has judicial ability, irrespective
or locality, political pull or any other
minor reasons. He should be a man of
good moral character, broad, liberal
thinker, who can deal justice to all under
the most trying circumstances, one who
is well versed 10 the law, and who will
see that all convictions and verdicts are
made strictly IN accordance with the
law. lie should have the respect and
confidence of the entire community. The
candidate coming the nearest to filling
the above requirements should ba ap-
pointed.
