& S WAS to have been expected,
~ the Democratic party organ In
4 u this city charges the coal
strike to the Republican party.
It says the idleness of the miners is
the offspring OF Republican legislation.
Well, there is an important difference
between their kind of idleness and the
kind so common when the Democrats
were in power. They became idle on
their own vote and choice, at time
when they could have kept on earning
under the Democratic regime. idleness
both in the coal fields and throughout
the country was in thousands of in
stances compulsory, because there was
no work to do.
We do not like to inject politics into
the coal situation, which, in our judg
ment, has had too much of it already.
But it is proper that the truth should
be stated and kept before the people
of this valley. Whatever resentment
they may feel against individuals, our
thinking workingmen know full well
that they are better protected and bet
ter paid under Republican prosperity
than under Democratic hard times.
And they know that this is not a mat
ter of luck merely or of accident or
circumstance but the result of fixed
laws and large policies, wherein the
two parties differ. Within the present
generation there has been Il good test
of both kinds of administration and it
will form q safe guide to the voter in
November.

Thunder in Wrong Place.

Many stories are told of Dion Bouci-
cault as occurring during the active life
of that playwright actor. One relates to
the time he was playing n piece called
1.-The Vampire at the Princess theater,
London. The opening scene represented
the highest regions of the Alps by moon
light, while thunderstorm ragged in the
distance. The Vampire (Mr. BouccaulD
was seen lying dead on the mountain
peak, to all appearance, but as a ray of
the moon touched his body he came to
life.
OF course the thunder was produced in
the usual manner. by the property man
with thunder sheet"
One night in the height of the season q;
tremendous clap of thunder startled the
audiences and interrupted Mr.. Boucicault
In the middle of speech. Lowering his
voice so that he could be heard only by
the property man, he said:
Very well, Mr.. Davies, you are mal,-
Ing more mistakes. That clap of thun-
der came in the wrong place"
Mr. Davies replied in stentoran tones,
(which could be plainly heard all over the
auditorium:
mo fault of mine. sir: it wasn't my
thunder. Thunder's real out of doors;
perhaps You con stop it there."-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Thought It Was Shafter.

Some army officers who were in Cuba
with General Skaters army of inva-
sion told the other day an anecdote at the
expense of the commander of that expe-
dition. The troops with all their para
phernaia of war had landed and were
awaiting the order to advance OH Santi-
ago. STAFF officers We're busy carrying
out the details for the advance and every
where there was hurry and hustle, Shat
ter was lying in hammock in front of
his headquarters at Siboney, while 100
yards down the road the men of the sig
nal corps We're initiating the war balloon
preparatory to making the first ascen-
sion. Without warning the ropes which
held It captive parted and the balloon,
half-inflated and looking for all the world
like the body and legs of a gigantic fat
man, started down the road toward San
tiago. There was just enough gas in 1t
to keep 1t upright without entirely clear
ing the ground and II went bobbing along,
up and down, as though II Were walking.
A negro soldier passing along AT that mo-
ment saw the balloon, and shouted at the
top of his voice: Hi, dar! Guess dat
mus he de ole man goin' fur de front!'-

Not long since a venerable and distin-
