THE. STRIKE OF THE
ANTHRACITE COAL
MINERS.

The strike of the anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania, involving as
it will 142, 600 men and practically stop
ping the output of anthracite coal, will
have results. should 1t be protracted,
appear.
The total production of coal in the
United States for 1899 was: Soft coal.
les. 20S,025 tons. valued at s12s. 4l9 1854:
anthracite. 52.S4S.6 COS. valued at ss1.A45.-
937. The figures for the present year
are not obtainab BILE, but the output has
considerably increased.
The demand for coal this year has
been unprecedented. The exports of
coal from the United States to Europe
for the first seven months of the year
were double those of 1898, this increase
being in response to a partial coal
famine in Europe and to the accumu
lation of stocks of coal by the military
Powers as a precaution in case of war.
While these exports of coal have been
largely bituminous. the tie up of the
anthracite miners will effect the ex-
port no less than the domestic trade.
The demand that has been supplied
hitherto by anthracite coal will increase
the pressure on the bituminous mar
kets. with the inevitable result of q
rise in the prices of the latter. The
strike will. therefore, be felt in Europe.

THE NEW BLOODY SHIRT
FLAUNTER.

The Virginian-P Pilot has several times
called attention to. and deprecated, the
attempt of the Republicans to sum-
mon the ghost of sectionalism for par
tisan purposes. At the PHILADELPHIA
convention, at the encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic in Chi
cago. I'm Mr.. McKinley's speech of ac-
ceptance, and again in his letter of ac-
ceptance, we find a tendency to recur
to what could only revive that bitter
ness between the sections that thirty
five years of peace under the flag OF
a common country should bar forever
from the relations of the North and
the South. A generation has passed
since the civil war; rightly or wrongly,
the issues of that momentous struggle
were settled, and finally. at Appomat-
toX. The man who cannot or will not
recognize this fact has no right to
aspire to any office that must be the
gift of the whole people. and is. of
necessity, unfit to discharge its func-
tons.
Although his past utterances have
prepared the country for pretty well
laration that sit is on the Fourth OF
July we celebrate the victories of Bum
ker Hill. Yorktown, Appomattox," will
create measure of surprise in the pub
lie of both sections. No citizen of the
country pirates more OF "Americanism"
than the Republican candidate for the
Vice Presidency; apparently he re-
CARDS the bloody shirt as It's most fit-
ting emblem.
In justice to Roosevelt, however, It
should be said that he may not have
intended to appeal to sectionalism SO
much as to exalt the martial vir-
tues. War IS with him a mono.

there could be no more dangerous
trait in national executive. Roosevelt
as President OF the United States-if
by any chance such n calamity should
befall us-would be menace to the
peace of the world. The stoutest heart
might we'll quail at the prospect, how
ever remote, of n man whose fad is

better indicated than in their platforms.
The Democrats propose to give labor a
member of the Cabinet; the Republi-
cans propose to give capital a member.
The Democrats denounce the trusts
that rob and Cypress labor: the Repub-
licans temporize and apologize. In this
district. as In the whole country, the
laboring man must choose between
these respective policies.
On next Monday 49, zoo organized lab
orers are going on strike in Pennsyl-
vania: and the men whom they are
striking against are among the largest
contributors to tho Republican cam
paign fund. If these men rob and OPP
press their own employees is it likely
that men elected to Congress by the
money they contribute, and who rep
resent their principles. will do anything
for organized labor?
If the laboring man believe that the
Republican party is his friend he should
vote for Wise; if he believes the Demo-
cratic party is his friend he should vote
for Maynard. BY voting for labor
candidate he will merely help to elect
the one or the other. That is the
situation as the Virginian- Pilot sees 1t;
1t believes that on calm reflection the
members of local labor unions will
agree with it.

THE MAINE AND VERMONT
ELECTIONS.

As barometers of political sentiment
the elections in Maine and Vermont
indicate that the current is toward
selves admit as much. In both States
there was an enormous falling off in
the Republican majority from 1896.
though the majority in Vermont was
up to the normal. 1t is easy, however.
to attach too much Importance to the
decline in the Republican majorities
in these States. We are inclined to
accept the conclusion of Governor At
lkinson. of West Virginia, who stumped
takes the ground that the falling off
from the majority of 1896 was due to
the fact that the Democrats turned
out and voted the ticket this year. II
the Democrats of every State do the
same thing the Democratic managers
will be content. AS matter of fact,
a large majority of the people of this
country are Democrats. Any man
who can poll the full Democratic vote
can be elected President. If the result
in Maine and Vermont means what
Governor Atkinson. Republican, says
1t means, there is ample material in it
for Democratic encouragement. since
1t would indicate reunited party.
The Democrats will welcome Republi-
can voters. and there viii! be a number
of them to welcome this year. beyond
a doubt: but they do not need Repub-
lican votes to elect their ticket. If they
can get their own vote out. From the
Maine and Vermont elections it looks
that Democrats will this year vote the
sufficient.
