Trail Work to be Resumed

Captain Wilson who arrived here on the Bertha, will soon begin work on the government trail. An unexpended balance of $22,OOO will be placed at his disposal for that purpose. He will endeavor to make the trail good between here and the Copper river and will em- ploy only cevilianIabor.
 While $22,OOO is but a small amount for the work to be don, we have no doubt the Captain will make good use of it in the righ. place.

In some quarters there has been a
disposition TO eritlcise the President
for interfering in the coal strike. MI

ne believed the President was sincere
the dignity OF his great ONCE had been
lowered by his action.
Ex-President Cleveland takes Diff
ferent view of the matter. In an in
terview the other day he said: The
American habit OF inconsiderateIy crit
icising the acts OF our high officials, IL
seems to me. ought not to have led
to the least flippant disrepect on the
part of the coal operators in their. late
conference with the President: neither
should 1t in my opinion lead our peo-
pie to carp and find fault when their
President. either ofhcially or IN the
! role Of their fellow citizen. attempts
to relieve them of condition which is
pressing to-day and may in the future
grow. to be terrible In Its conse-
quences."
No doubt. the President was induced
to interfere in the coal strike not by
desire to have a hand in the mat
ter, but by the fear that the condi-
tons brought about by the strike might
very soon become many times
worse. He saw the winter approach

seaboard cities, and factories threaten
ing to shut down because OF the lack
of coal. With thousands in the coal

with labor sulIen all along the line
and the popular sympathy with the
striking miners. he was quick to see
that very dangerous condition of
affairs might be brought about II The
demand for federal troops in the coal
section were complied with.
And 1t may turn out that after all
he, will appoint the commission that
will adjust the differences between the
strikers and the coal operators. In
that event, and if the commission
should be successful in its labors, he
would have a large part of the credit
for settling the strike. What would
those who have been condemning him
have to say then?

Where the Dove Was.

Maj. Sbattuck of the Signal Corps
tells an amusing story OF an old-tirne
religious revival meeting at negro
church near Savannah, says the, Kan
sas City Journal. In order that the re-
vival spirit might be quickened 1t was
arranged that the preacher should give
a signal when he, thought the excite
ment was highest and from the attic,
through hole cut in the ceiling di-
rectly over the pulpit, the sexton was
to shove down a pure white dove.
whose flight around the church and
over the heads of the audience was
expected to have an. inspiring effect
and, as far as emotional excitement
was concerned, to cap the climax. All
went well at the start; the church;
was packed the preachers text was
In the form of d dove" and as he
piled up his eloquent periods the ex-
element vas strong. Then the oppor-
tune moment arrived-the signal was
given--and the packed audience was
scared out of its wits on looking w
to the ceiling and beholding cat
with a clothes line around its middle
yowlinE and splitting, being slowly
lowered over the preachers head. The
preacher called out to the sexton In
the attic "Whar's de dove? And the
sections voice came down through the
opening SO you could hear it block:

why He Went to Church.

AS an illustration of Russell Sage's
eager desire to keep in close touch with
what is going on in the financial world
says the New York Times. a Wall
street broker tells this: An important
meeting was scheduled for a day on
which Mr.. Sage was unusually busy
and when he arrived at the designated
place the deliberations were over and
all the participants had dispersed. Use
the telephone as he would, Mr.. Sage
could not get in communication with
any Of them. Knowing that one of
those who had attended the gathering
passed. the plate at a midweek. service
in a church near his home, Mr.. Sage
went there. He. did not wait for the
close Of the service. but taking a. seat
on the aisle through which his ac-
quaintance passed, he waited until he
came along with the plate, and as he
put dollar bill on, it, remarked: Ed
ward, what did you fellows, do dowr
there to-day? I did not get around
in time" The gentleman spoken t

MIR. KNOX ON TRUSTS.

Mr.. Knox, the Attorney General, de-
livered an address before the Chamber
of Commerce of Pittsburg yesterday
on trusts. 1t is a, fair inference that
the administration desired to have its
position on trusts placed before the
country, and that the Attorney Gen
eral selected hts home city In which to
perform the task; 1t is true, of course,
that the President, in his recent
speeches. has discussed the subject OF
trusts and stated what; in his opinion,
is, the best method of dealing with
them, but IN none of his speeches has
he undertaken to point out in detail
what the adninistt alton has done, and
Is doing, to enforce the antitrust law.
This Mr.. Knox did In his PittsbuFg
speech, He did little more than
that He pointed out quite clearly the
decisions .anl trust cases by which the
Department of Justice. must be guided
in its efforts to enforce the antitrust
law, j.
Mr Knox would like the country to
believe that the administration has
done. and is still doing, all that II Is
possible to do to make trusts comply
with the law. He names the trusts
against which suits have been filed and
explains the progress which has been
made in these cases. He has no hes
itation in saying that much good has
been accomplished and that mitch more
will be.
Mr. Knox, however. does not believe
that the antitrust law is broad enough
to enable the administration to reach
all trust evils and remedy them.
Therefore he thinks the law should be
amended. OF course, there is d cues
ton as to whether it can be sufficiently
amended to accomplish the end aimed
at without trenching on the rights
and privileges of the states, but Mr..
Knox believes it can, and he gives his
reasons for his belief
Mr., Knox calls particular attention
to the difference in trusts. Sorne are
good and some are bad. There is no
reason, he thinks, why war should be
made upon those which are harmless.
The tendency of the age is in the d.
rection of trusts, and what the aim
should be, is to make all trusts serve.
the public good. In other words, 1t
is his opinion that trusts should be
controlled by the general government.
He does not, seem to think a constitu-
,tional amendment is absolutely neees-
sary to enable Congress to exercise
such control.
The PUBLIC mind is so wrought up on
the subject Of trusts that it is proba-
bic that an earnest effort will be made
during the coming winter to amend the
antitrust law. With that law amend
ed and properly enforced there is no
good reason why the government
should not be in a position to exercise
such control of merged properties as
to prevent them form being injurious
to the public welfare. -..

WILL LIE srRIkENs AccnrFs

The position which Mr.. Mitchell.
president of the United Mine WORKERS..
now occupies Is a very trying one. 1t
is doubtful II he slept soundly on Mon
day night-the night the proposition
OF the operators reached him. ., ~.
There is no doubt that the miners
Will follow his lead. They are divided
as to whether the proposition ought to
be accepted or not. 1t is for Mr..
Mitchell to decide.
The proposition differs materially
from the one which he submitted to the
President. He did not make condi-
tions as TO membership, in the commits
sion, but he did make 1t a condition
that the miners union should be rec
ognized. But il he should reject II
the probability is that the sympathy
aof the public would be transferred 10
the operators. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance to the strikers. that the SYM
patty of the public should remain
with them. II commission should be
appointed this sympathy would help
them. With the public supporting
them the commission would be inclined
to be much more liberal with them
than If it were supporting the operk-
tors. But IL Mr.. Mitchell accepts the
miners union will not be recognized
would lose the chief thing for which be
has been coiftending.
The commission would have nothing
to- do with the Question of the union.
II would simply settle the differences
between the miners and the operators
differences relative to the weighing OF
coal, the rate OF wages, the hours Of
labor ana such other questions as have
been under discussion between the EN-
ployers and their employees in the
mines. One reason why it could not
take up the question Of recognizing the
union of the United Mine Workers is
that there are many thousands of men
IN the mines who are not members OF
that union. To recognize the union
would be practically to sacrifice the In
terests of the non-union men. II is
said that Mr.. Mitchell is inclined not
to accept the proposition. 1t is easy to
understand that that is so. He stands
pretty good chance Of getting his
own terms. that is. IL his army Of
workers is stfll willing to stand by him.
But it is not certain that it would
continue to stand by him If he should
reject the proposition. A break--a Sc
rious break-in his ranks would mean
the end of the strike. He will have
to decide quickly. Will 1t be in favor OF
peace or a continuance of the war?
