CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Our venerable friend Maxine Gomez
refuses pension from the Cuban gov
eminent until all the soldiers of the
war with Spain can be paid. This is
magnanimous of Maxine We could
get up more enthusiasm over it. how
ever, if Gen Woods report did not
show that Maxine has had $4,000 per
year during the term of the provisional
government. Almost any one could af-
ford to be self-denying with the big
end of $4,000 in his hip pocket"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says 1.-The Republican man.
ner of defending soldiers charged with
specific offenses reminds us of an anec-
dote. You are a liar, sir said Col.
Whiskyrandos Fireater coolly. 1 de-
mand the name of your informant,
replied Gen. Shorter holly. And SO II
is with the Republican apologists in
Congress. They do not meet the charges
against certain soldiers with evidence
in refutetion. They ignore the charges,
want to know how the other side found
out these things, and then wind up
with a general assault upon the Demo-
Gratis party for 'slandering the army "
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: 1T has not come so yet that
the rich classes can control the ma
tional government, but already they
are extremely influential. and events
move so rapidly that prophecy cannot
keep up with them. The Roman Re-
public grew into the Roman Empire
under much the same conditions exist
ing now which governed then. The
American Republic may develop into
the most powerful empire on the face
OF the globe Rel ublics, u has been
said, are for frugal and temperate peo-
pie. They cannot exist under condi-
lions Of extreme wealth and luxury"

The Marks on the Packages

The Philadelphia Times tells of the
"break" made by a tot of the family
who was one of a party of little girls
at recent strawberry festival in the
vicinity of her home. She had been
Valiantly boasting of the manifold adj
Vantages of belonging to her family
and had managed to hold her own
against the vainglorious and ingenu-
GUS discourses of her companions
They had gone from clothes to person
al appearances, then to interior fur
nishings, then to the number of tons
of coal consumed in the home of each
during the last winter, and finally
brought up at parental dignity. The
minister's little girl boosted: Every
package that comes for my pa is
marked d. d. =" AN every pack

physician of the neighborhood. Then
came a fine snort of contempt from the
heroine Of this anecdote. HUH" she
exclaimed. Every package that comes
to our house is marked &C. o. d.
There, now!"

WROTE HERSELF OUT OF A POSI-
rION.

It is probable that Rebecca J, Taylor,
recently a clerk in the Adjutant Cen
erals office of the War Department,
wishes she had confined herself to her
family circle and the dinner table in
expressing her opinions of the manage
ment of the war in the Philippines.
She had very good position with ev-
cry prospect of keeping 1t as long as
she could discharge its duties, but she
was so anxious to tell the world that
she objected to the War Departments
doings in the Philippines. and was pre-
pared to make suggestions as to what
policy should be adopted in dealing
with the islands that she rushed to
the newspapers and poured forth her
criticisms and suggestions in an article
to which she signed her name.
In reference to what our soldiers did
in Samar she wrote: The American
people will demand the political lives
of those in authority who place the seal
of approval upon the diabolical work
these human bloodhounds have accom-
plished." AS this was evidently aimed
at the President and the members of
his administration, it was thought,
probably, that it was time for Rebecca
to move out of the War Department
and go where she could feel freer to
make her fight on the army and those
who approve the army's doings in the
Philippines.
She has the satisfaction of knowing
that she had the courage to express
her feelings freely and fearlessly in re-
gard to the Republican policy in the
islands, and no doubt some of her
friends applauded her for her act. but
will they buy bread and butter for her?
viii anybody come forward and help
Rebecca j. Taylor get another position
a nice comfortable position that pays
a good salary, such as she had in the
War Department?
No doubt the Secretary of War and
| the President will be severely criticised
| for depriving this woman of her place,
but it is hardly to be expected that the
| administration will submit to caustic
| criticisms from department employees.
If Rebecca j. Taylor had criticised
some other department than the one in
which she was employed she might
have been let off with reprimand.
! Her attack on the department in which
she was employed was little more
than the President and Secretary of
War could stand.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND THE STRIKE

Ex-President Cleveland thinks there
should be a permanent Commission OF
Labor created by Congress for the set
tlement of labor troubles. He does not
believe in compulsory arbitration. for
the reason that such arbitration would
tend to encourage strikes. Employees
would make unreasonable demands
upon their employers with the hope
of getting some of them allowed. Mr..
Cleveland thinks the commission of
labor which he proposes should be
permanent, so that il could become
thoroughly familiar with it's duties and
so the charge of partisanship could
not with good reason be brought
against it. If arbitration were COM
pulsory and arbitration boards were
appointed as there were demands for
their services there would, in all prob
ability, be such partisanship shown
that the losing parties would not ac-
cept the findings. Mr.. Cleveland called
attention to the need for a commits
sion Of labor during his first term in
the White House. He sent a message
TO Congress on the subject, in which
he set forth his views on the subject
at considerable length, but Congress
did not, it seems, approve his sug-
gestion.
The coal operators have refused to
arbitrate the demands which the
strikers in the coal fields have made
upon them, but if there were board
in which they had confidence-such
board as that suggested by Mr.. Cleve-
land-it is not improbable that they
would consent to arbitration. 1t is
rumored that one reason why they
have refused to consent to arbitra-
ton is the feeling that a partisan
board of arbitrators would be chosen,
a board that would have in view the
vote of the miners rather than the
questions at issue in the strike.
1t seems that the President, al
though he cannot take any part in
the settlement of the strike, is doing
what he can through the Commission
er of Labor. Mr.. Wright, to bring it to
an end. The commissioner has been
instructed to inquire into the causes
of 1t and to make any suggestions he
may think advisable for the settlement
OF it.
There is no doubt great deal of
uneasiness in regard to the strike on
account of the attitude which other
labor organizations are taking with
the view of assisting the coal miners.

B had nothing else to do but fol-

he found the manager with anguish de-
picted on every feature and the lady

B grew as red as a lobster and

A crusade against the roaring, in
harmonious college yell'' has been start
ed by Miss Marion Talbot, dean of the
women at the University of Chicago.
She is willing to admit the desirable
ity, not to say necessity. of the college
yell. but she can see no reason why it
should not be harmonious and pleasing
instead of the barking yell at present
affected. Miss Talbot would have the
yell set to music. So sure is she that
the change would be for the good of
all concerned that she has offered a
cash prize for the best two musical
cheers" produced during the current
year. A chorus might do well enough
for the girl students. but no class of
boys would ever so on the football or

HANNA AND THE PRESIDENT.

It seems that there is a strong prob
ability that the President and Senator
Hanna will cease to work together in
political harness, 1t would be strange
indeed If two such strong-willed men
should continue. to work in harmony in
the political field. Besides. their ideas
of political morality are widely differ
ent. Senator Hanna is a good civil SER
vice reformer as long as the people can
be fooled by civil service resolutions
and civil service talk, but. as a matter
of fact he believes in practical politics
from start to finish. On the other
hand the President is a good deal of a
civil service reformer, not only theo-
retically but practically. He might
sacUfice civil service reform in a par
ticular instance or two, If it were nee
essary to do so to gain a point in the
game of politics. but thus far in his
political career he has tried to be a
civil service reformer in fact.
Probably there Is a little feeling be-
tween the two men-the President and
the Senator-because of the persistent
rumor that the latter is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
President, but the immediate cause of
their present trouble is the determine
ton of the President to have certain
charges against federal office
holders in Cleveland. O., investigated.
The charges were made by Representa-
tive Burton, the Chairman of the'
River and Harbor Committee. He
is an Ohio man and he claims
that the offlce-holders in question have
been perniciously active in politics in
his district with the view of defeating
him for a renomina ton. These office
holders are proteges of Senator Hanna.
He asked for their appointment, and
when the charges were made he went
to the White House and asked the
President not to notice them. 1t seems,
however, that the President took a
different view, and has sent one of the
civil service commissioners to Cleve-
land to look into the matter. Of
course Senator Hanna feels aggrieved
that his advice should have been ig-
nored and is annoyed, by the possibil
ity that two or three of his political
pets will lose their official positions.
OF course the President is right in
this matter II the officials in ques-
ton have been violating the law they
ought to be called to account. But a
President cannot always do what is
right and at the same time retain all
of his political friends.
If there should be a break in the
friendship of Senator Hanna and the
President there would be a distinct de-
crease in the chances of the latter for
getting the nomination of his party
for President.

THE coal OPERATORS TO BLAME

OOAb ~
From statements relative to the labor
trouble in the anthracite coal basin it
appears that the Issues which appear
on the surface are not the real issues
between the miners and the operators.
Even if the present strike should be
settled by conceding some, or all. of
the demands of the strikers, there
would soon be trouble again, because
the real cause of the trouble would
remain, and continue to be a source of
discomfort.
What the miners want to do is to
earn more money, and that they can
hardly do unless there is a reduction
of the number of men who make
living by mining anthracite coal. 1t
is said that there are about 100000 men
in the anthracite coal section who de-
PEND upon the mines for a living. OF
this number fully LAT 900 belong to the
United Mine Workers, a union organ
ization. 1t is pointed out that it is
impossible for a miner to get work in
the mines for more than 175 days in a
year, owing to the fact that there are
between $4,000 and 10000 more miners
than are needed to mine the amount
of coal required to meet the coal de-
mand. 1t is asserted that if the min
ers were given steady employment
there would be no dissatisfaction on
account of the hours Of labor per day
nor the compensation.
The statement is made that the OPP
orators are opportunists. They have
connection with coal than how to get
coal on board of cars at the least pos
sible cost. To accomplish that object
all of their plans have been of a trans
STORY character They have never
undertaken to arrange for the mining
of coal on a permanent and business
like basis.
They are responsible for the surplus
of labor in the coal region. They i'm
ported tens of thousands of Hunga-
rians when there was no need for
them. their object being to have many
more men seeking work in the mines
than could be employed. thinking that
III tIltil way bilGy NOulu lCSoGll Tic COol
of mining the coal. These men were
gradually taken into the union, and
hence have to be given a share of the
work. The real trouble, therefore, is
that the mining of coal is not done in
a business-like way.
If the operators would agree to pay
a certain price per ton for the mining
of coal, the price to rise and fall with
the rise and fall of the market price of
coal, and then agree to give steady
employment to enough miners to sup
ply the demand for coal, there would
be no more trouble in the coal region.
The cost of mining coal would be re-
duced and the operators and miners
would be better off. OF course between
10000 and 10000 miners would have to
| seek employment elsewhere. but it
would be better for all concerned for
them to do so,
For some uhaccountable reason the
| operators will not agree to this plan
for settling the ever-recurring troubles
In the anthracite coal region. They
seem to think that it is for their in
terests to keep the miners in very
Strengthened circumstances and take
their chances of losing little or moth
ing by strikes.
