WORkINGMEN AND LAW.

At no time in the history of this
country was the necessity so great ior
labor 10 organize and act coherently
as now. Not only should labor be
organized and united, but it should be
guided by prudence and high intelii-
gencc.
The Keller injunction, recently is
sued from the bench OF the United
states district court in West Virginia
ought TO open the eyes of workingmen
everywhere to the situation into which
they are rapidly and certainly drifting.
They are being put in a position In
which they can not make move with
out becoming yiolators of law, subject
to punishment, while their employers
are free to do as they please. The
law or more properly speaking, the
power of the courts, is being used 10
destroy the strike as the working
mans weapon and leave him VITA
neither law nor strike to maintain his
position.
The Citizen urges this on the con
sidoration of Workingmen. because
many of them have opposed the inter
position of law by compulsory arbi-
tration-in the settlement of labor
controversies. They have relied on
the cocrcive power of the strike. But
the injunction system, as it is dcvelou-
ing, takes all coercive power out Of
the strike unless the unions can
bring all labor within their lines
which seems to be manifestIy impos-
sible
Consider it. The most swocping Of
the recent injunctions, that issued us
Judge Keller, is not based on threat
ened destruction Of property or
assaults on persons, but on interference
with the contract rights" of corpora-
tions, and these contract rights" are
to supply coal under their agreements
and to retain the services of men en-
ployed in operating their mines. The
union men are prohibited. not ONLY
from any direct interference with the
mines and any entry on the property

The BUEHMAN ORDINANCE.

There is every Indication that an
overwhelming majority of the people
of Tucson favor a high license tax on
the liquor traffic. The ordinance pro-
posed by Councilman Buehman would
satisfy the public demand and ought
10 be made municipal law.
We think public sentiment on the
question has been sufficiently dem
onstrated to enlighten the members of
the city council as 10 their duty. The
mayor should convene a special meet
ire TO consider the matter, and give
Il councilmon an opportunity to act
The question involves the peace, dig
mtg and good order of this town. The

The taxpayers can not afford to pay
an officer to keep order in every dive,

How Coal Was First Named.

CurI0usly. the word coal was in use
long before as well as long after the
commencement of the coal trade. with
meaning quite different from that
Which it now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
in particular To wood which had been
charred. or what is pow called char
Coal.
When the trade in mineral coal be-
gan, this was usually distinguished by
tile singular name of sea coal 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea
shore, more especially Of Mort humber
land, along with Seawccd aud other
wrerkagc cast UP by the waves. this
peculiar substance WAS supposed to be
of marine origin From this circuin-
stance aud it's resemblance to wood

DEFENDING SMITH.

The Phoenix Republican has entered
general defense of General He'll
Roarin' Jake Smith. and of course at
the same time indirectly rebuked the
tive service. and the court martial,
composed OF his brother officers. for
finding him guilty The effort of the
Republican in behalf of the man who
was described by a Republican in
Congress as 'the Her0d of Samar''
was on the whole very able effort
such an effort as one can hear in the
least Of our criminal courts almost
every day-rcfecting real credit upon
the versatility OF the editor. and gen
orally indicating the failure of the reg
ular shysters TO achieve a corner in
poppycock.
The official record Of the court
martial that found General Smith
guilty contains the following state
ment made to the court by Colonel
Woodruff, who was counsel for General
Smith:
The accused desires to simplify this
case as much as possible. and admits
that he was commanding general Of
the Sixth separate brigade. division of
the Philippines; that Major Waller
was one of his subordinate officers
commanding a sub-territoriaI district.
and that he did give him personal in
structiOns relating to hostilitips under
arms in the field and he did instruct
him not To burden himself with prison
erS, OF which General Smith already
mad SO many that the efficiency of his
command was impaired and did tell
him that he wanted him to Kill and
burn in the interior and hostile conn
try; and did further instruct him that
the interior of Samar must he made n
bowling wilderness: and did further
instruct him that he wanted all per
sons killed who We're capable Of bear
ing arms and were actively engaged In
hostilities: and that he did designate
the age limit at ~ years, as boys of
that age We're actively engaged in hos
tlltties against the United States au-
thorities. and were equally dangerous
as an enemy as those of more mature
age
The Republican attributes the fall
of Smith to the malicious bitterness
Of the soldler-hating copperheads."
Who these people are we are unable to
say. Whoever they are. If they are
responsible for the trial and retire
ment of Smith. they are entitled to
the gratitude of civilized people every
where.
There Is some credit in telling the
truth, even though it involved infamy.
and that credit we give to Smith for
his admissions before the court mar
tial But If, according to American
standards. there is anything more in I
famous than the kind OF warfare or
dered by General Smith. we do not
know 1t. No prisoners, XIII and
burn! Children too? Certainly: they
are dangerous. They may, II left
alone, even grow up to be men after
