The anthracite miners have, by
unanimous vote, declared the great
coal strike ended and it was officially
announced that the Ia, 200 miners
would report for work Tuesday morn
ing. There was rejoicing in every
home in the hard coal country not
only among the miners but among
vast army Of citizens whose interests
have beed involved. Many of the
ableSt men of the nation believe that
this is the last great conflict between
capital and labor and that differences
will hereafter be adjusted without
strikes

The question of the reinstatement
of miners who voluntarily relinquish-
their jobs by striking has now be-
come one of the issues between them
and the operators. and, therefore, a
question for the arbitration commits
sion TO settle. Mr.. Mitchell evident
ly saw that the question has passed
beyond the control of the union, and
be was therefore very guarded in what
he said on that point. The operators
have pledged themselver not to dis
charge nonuniOn men on tina. ground:
and the commission will probably de-
eide that they are right.

A Flag Torn Down.

We are sorry to record the fact that
the flag staff on Whipporwill school
house was torn off the building some
time between Friday evening and
Monday morning and the stars and
stripes of our country's flag torn into
Shreds.
Whipporwill school house is in the
north precinct of Green township and
few weeks ago somebody tore down
the picture of sour Martyred Presi-
dents" which was hanging in the
room, crumpled it up and put it in
the stove and carried off picture of
William Mckinley which the teacher
had hanging on the wall.
A beautiful flag which had been
donated by Henry Hand. an old sold
Ter, floated from the dag staff during
school hours. but every Friday eve-
ming it was taken down and placed in
desk until Monday morning, but
the vandalS who tore the flag staff
from the building entered the school
house and tore it into as many strips
as possible,
Perhaps the parties did not know
that the laws of this state made them
liable to severe punishment, but it
seems to us that any man who is fit to
live in this glorious country would be
haunted all his life by the recollection
Of such deed even if the people never
know who did it. And perhaps it will be
better if the names Of the culprits are
never known for it would bring dis
grace and shame to all their relatives
and friends. We are sorry, very sorry
that there are any persons in Mar
shall county who have so little intel
ligence or SD little reverence for the
flag of their country.

The Beef and Cattle Question.

The tariff on cattle does not keep
out Of the American market animals
fit for beef, but an inferior quality of
of young cattle. The tariff on beef
does not keep out of this country the
few fat cattle that Canada raises, be-
cause they are shipped to England
All the while that prices of beef have
been SO high the United States has
been exporting to England great
deal mora meat than Canada, a corn
less country, has been sending abroad.
Canada is country with 6, 900, 900 in
habitants, and about 1000, 900 in the
part Of it that can raise cattle at a
considerable cost. 1t can never be-
come cattle-producing country be-
cause Of its long winters and its lack
OF corn. AS for Argentina, its cattle
are so inferior that they find limit
ed idemand in Great Britain. The
United States is the greatest meat
producing country in the world. For
number OF years it was not a profit
able industry for farmers, and the
greatly increased demand at home
and in Europe since 1896 found the
country with limited supply, par
ticularly Of fat cattle, due largely to
the short corn crop OF 1901. Free
trade in cattle just now would not
make meat cheaper, since prices are
higher in Europe than here.

After voting three times against
accepting a temporary 25 per cent.
reduction in wages the tin workers of
Anderson have finally reconsidered
their former action and decided to
accept the reduction. 1t is done In
order. as the employers aver, to en-
able them to secure certain large
orders against the foreign manufact-
urers and enable them to keep their
mills running full time. The action
of the wor kmen is generous, and 1t is
hoped they may get their reward.

How Long Do Drunkards 1--we?

More interesting and remarkable,
perhaps, than any other disclosures
made by DR.. Dana are those relating
to the capacity of men for drink and
the duration Of life among habltual
inebriates. On the latter point, the
conclusions reached are that in some
cases the duration Of life is about
fifteen years-the maximum being over
forty years. In general, it is said
that hard drinking can rarely be
carried on for more than twenty years,
and it generally brings the victim to
grief at about the age Of forty. Re-
ferring to persons who. drink most
heavily and frequently, it is said that
it takes ten or fifteen years to bring
on dementia or insanity, during which
time it may be estimated that each
inebriate consumes about two thouS-
and gallons Of intoxicants. A man
fifty-five years old confessed that he
had been drunk twice dav for three
years, making abont two Thousand
intoxications; another man of forty
had been drunk weekly for twenty
years, and a third, aged forty-three,
had been drunk a thousand times in
fifteen years. Two thousand ''drunks"
is set down as the maximum limit in
any ordinary inebriate experience.
The fav0rite combination for hard
drinkers was found to be beer and
whisky. and beer alone came well up
in the scale.

Block Coal Only $3.50 at Chicago

A Chicago special says: Local stocks

wholesalers are concerned, and it is
said that the retail yards have not
more than 100 to $50 tons each, where
they have any at all. The price of
anthracite is quoted at s13 to SIS.
Retail prices of bituminous coal have
not changed materially for month.
