bonds have held their own all the while
and that the business of the country has
not been interrupted by the South African
war proves the absurdity of Mr. Bryan's
statements. Equally absurd is the state
ment that our prosperity depends upon
conditions in Europe. AS a matter of his
tory prosperity began in this country very
soon after Mr.. Bryan's heresy was con-
demned. Our great prosperity has spread
to Europe. which has never been so gen.
orally prosperous as at the present time.
There IS general confidence in business
and industry because there is no apprehen-
sion that Mr.. Bryan's silver heresy can
ever be adopted by the United States. VIII
Mr.. Bryan ever learn that the majority of
the American people are not fools?

The minority report takes the opposite

act TO deprive the Governor OF the power Of

JAMES HENDERSON, chief engineer, of
Glasgow.
FRED DOVE, second mate, of Boston.
The Herman Winter reached this port this
forenoon with her bow gone and reported
the accident. She had on board the twenty
nine men who escaped from the Ardanhu.
The Ardanhu was struck about midships on
her starboard side by the Herman Winter s
bow and was cut half way through. She
would have sunk Immediately but her
water-tight compartments kept her afioat

Discussion of the art museum matter has
brought out very clearly the fact that the
people of the city are almost unanimously
in favor of a downtown site, and that
though they prefer the Fairbank tract to
Talbot place neither is satisfactory. Most
of the arguments against central loca-
ton are of little weight and are overborne
by the advantages. 1t is possible that some
of the sites so much talked of are being
pushed by real estate peculators-though
that should make difference If the To-
cation is desirable--but this is not true
of all the lots mentioned. There is for in

That the Beers have Dundonald
Or Dundonald's done the Beers.

The case Of the Chicago girl who was
tempted by her love of finery to the theft
of "Gainsborough" hat has served as a
text for numerous more or less scathing
dissertations on woman's vanity by the
press of the country. The fact that the
hat was "Gainsborough" is mentioned
in each case, as If the stealing of hat
of that particular description were more
heinous crime and the sign of a more
colossal vanity tnan the theft of any other
head covering. A good many stones have
been thrown at woman. first and last, on
account of her vanity. but is that quality
more highly developed in her than in her
brothers? The young man who cannot be
happy in any but fine clothes does not
often steal them outright, perhaps. but
he will get them made wherever he can
secure credit not knowing, probably not
caring. when how he is to pay. Any
fashionable tailor can tell many a tale of
this sort. Technically. ii isn't stealing. but
usually there is difference worth men
tioning.

THE MINERS AND OPERATORS CON-
FERENCE.

The pending conference in this city be-
tween the coal miners and operators has
a wider scope than the personal interests
the possibilities of future strike. 1t
means much to the miners and operators,
but even more to the public at large. AS
long as human nature continues as 1t is
each class and every individual will prob
ably continue to look out for their own in
terests, regardless of others, but that is
not a high view of the case. Labor or
ganizations have a maxim that the well
fare of one is the welfare of all. If that is
true it's truth is not limited to labor>or-
eral, and in large sense 1t is undoubtedly
true that the interests of society at large
are identical with those of every individ-
ual. AS the manufacturing and CONNER
cial world is now conducted a steady
supply of coal is a matter of such vital
concern to the whole country that sus-
pension Of production is public calamity.
For this reason miners strikes are more to
be deprecated than any other. Not only
do they involve q great loss in wages to
the miners. and in profits to the operators.
but they infict enormous losses on man
ufacturing and transportation interests
and those dependent upon them. For this
reason both miners and operators should
do all in their power to prevent strikes
They should be as reasonable as possible
in their demands. as fair and just as pos
sible in conference, and as conciliatory
as possible in trying to reach a basis of
settlement Mining is laborious and dan
gerous work. and the miners should receive
Business at present is at high tide, with
every prospect of continuing good for some
time 20 come. In this situation the miners
are probably justified in asking for rea-
sonable increase of wages. but they ought
not to demand an unreasonable increase.
This demand should be based on knowl-
edge of facts and of what the operators
can afford to pay. The operators ought to
to do it not with view of deceiving or
overreaching the miners. but of doing them
full justice. In short, they should confer
in a spirit of reasonableness and justice,
mingled with liberality on both sides, and
a willingness to accept the best basis of
agreement for all concerned. rather than
disposition to demand what is impossible
or deny what is reasonable.
There is a still broader aspect of the case
"a patriotic view. Great Britain. our
greatest commercial rival, is now engaged
in war. Her coal production is seriously
interrupted and her manufacturing inter-
ests are embarrassed. Now is Americas
opportunity II seized and utilized it may
lead to a great extension of American
trade. and even to opening the foreign mar
kets for American coal. Paralysis of our
coal production at such a time would be
a national disaster. A miners strike would
be unpatriotic, and every true American
should do all in his power to avert it.
