THE A COAL CINoH.

Philadelphia Press: The man with the
empty coal bln-.and that Is pretty nearly
every mar in the country-is unanimous
in demanding hat the strike be settled.
His voice is getting so loud and determined
that Il must be needed.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: President Baer
says that the demands Of the miners II
carried out would make II impossible TO
mine coal probably. That's queer, isn't II?
Doesn't the consumer have to pay Just
what he's asked for the precious stun?
New York Tribune; The scant supply Of
anthracite and the high prices OF fuel OF
every sort have stimulated the ransscking
OF peat boys almost everywhere in the east.
viii the pungent odor Of peat smoke become
as familiar to American homes as 1t has
been for centuries In lowly cottages In
Scotland and Ireland?
Detroit Free Press: A few weeks ago It
looked as though a compulsory arbitration
bill was too heroic a measure to adopt
under any circumstances. Now the coal
operators have succeeded in making such a
measure look mild. They are positively
holding themselves as a much bigger insti-
tuition than Is the United States govern
ment.
indianapolis News: Let Il not be for
gotten that the anthracite coal monopolists
simply refuse to discuss the eituation with
anyone. They do not explain to the public
what their position in the controversy is,
They refuse to entertain the proposition of
arbitration. They are bound to crush the
union at whatever cost to themselves, the
men and the general public.
Boston Globe: Only people Of minor COM
prehension can be made to believe that the
operatives are led into risking such great
losses on the basis Of mere blind passion.
In most. cases the strike has bettered
their condition. as statistics amply prove.
1t is the public that suffers most, and 1t
is the public with whom the stubborn
operators will finally have to deal.
Springfield Republican: Probably the
contention of the coal companies is sound,
that a uniform scale Of wages is imprscti-
cable for the whole hard coal region,
though this is a question very properly
d~eterminable by impartial arbitration. But
1T is to be noticed that the same compan-
les insist upon the practicability and JUS
tice Of a uniform scale Of prices to the
public for their coal, which is thus pro-
duced under varying conditions; and they
maintain 1t, too.

It was remarked that the shah Of Persia
was moody and sad. He has only sixty-hve
wives, while his father had 1.72o.
Thomas j. Lane, who claimed to have
captured JEFF Davis, was killed by a train
at Swissville, Pa, on Thursday. During the

Of state. is looking after his candidacy, he

Reeves E. selmes, late law clerk in the
hnance department, New York, held that
position so long that he was a walking
encyclopedia Of municipal law and could,
at a moments notice. recall decisions OF the
court Of appeals covering a period Of fifty
years or more.
The German crown prince recently
caused much embarrassment to the rail-
way officials at Bonn by insisting upon
travelling fourth class when making an
excursion to Laach with some fellow stud
ents. He stated that he preferred travel
ing fourth class, as the carriages were
better ventilated than any other compaTt-
ments on the line.

Therefore, nearly every patent affecting the
construction and running OF street rail-
ways that had value he secured. During the
years that he was preaching free trade no
owned the patent for a rail for street rail-
ways under which he manufactured and sold
such rails at an exorbitant price. The Tom
L. Johnson street rail was the most com
plete and one Of the most profitable ma
n~opolies the world has witnessed. With
that rail and other facilities he became an
owner in part and the controller Of street
railways in several cities-a street railway
magnate. in fact. BY the manipulation o,
such properties he became a millionaire.
AS was stated a few days ago, he came very
near selling to the people Of Detroit for
SIC, 900. 900 a street railway system which
could have been duplicated for about "a, 000,-
900, in the estimated value OF which no
counted as worth several millions a fran
chise for which not a dollar had been paid.
The swindle was headed of. During sew
eral years Mr.. Johnson has been turning
his street railway properties into bonds and
other properties. While Mr.. johnson was
entirely engrossed in the business he did
not advocate Scent fares and municipal
ownership until the Detroit affair. Prob
ably few individuals in this country have
realized more from straight scent fares
than has the democratic autocrat in Ohio.

Pittsfeld is chagrined that its good
reputation has been put to the blush by the
presidential accident. and moves in the d.
rection OF a municipal housekeeping. We
shall undertake to say that whatever good
reputation II has hitherto reioiced in has
been due to lack OF general information
upon its many interesting qualities. But
that has passed with the drawn curtain
OF publicity. Pittsfeld wished, II appears.
to have the cars stopped during the presi-
dental drive. but hadn't the power or reso-
luton. II is even more illuminative to
learn that the Judge before whom the Of
Tending motorman and conductor were ar.
raigned is none other than the president OF
the street car company itself. In the light
OF these revelations, the further announce
ment that the case cannot even be reached
until January will occasion no surprise.

standing that during the recess Of con
gress 1t would conduct a thorough in
quiry as to the necessity for such a de-
partment. There has been compiled in
various government bureaus, for the use
Of congress, pertinent information for
the purpose Of showing that the pro-
posed department is necessary and
would be of great benefit to the com
mercial interests Of the country. There
appears to be no considerable opposition
to creating the new department and so
far as the commercial interests are con
cerned they strongly favor 1t. AS to the
friction among bureaus to be embraced
in the department, that should not be
allowed to interfere. Congress should
determine the matter without regard 10
the wishes of the heads of bureaus and
with a view solely to promoting the in
terests with which the department will
be concerned. There is unqu%estionably
a demand for a department of commerce
and there is no good reason for further
delay in creating it. The new depart
ment should be organized before the end
Of the present congress.

NO DISAGREEMENT IN IOWA

There is indignant and authentic
denial of the story low circulating In
the democratic press to the effect that
strong disagreement and even bitter
controversy arose in the recent confer
enc Of republican leaders at Des
Moines. Among those present were
Senator Doliiver, Speaker Henderson,
Governor Cummins, Congressman Lacey,
Thomas. Hedge, Smith and others. The
purpose was to outline q common line
Of policy for the campaign and to ar
range for its formal opening. Speaker
Henderson and Governor Cummins both
deny absolutely that there was any dis
agreement, or even a suggestion Of con
troversy regarding the tariff plank or
any other subject. On the contrary,
they affirm that the conference was one
of the most harmonious ever held in
the state for preliminary campaign con,
sultation. Indeed, the exchange OF
opinion was free and informal. and there
was not a single set speech. Not only
did everyone present express himself in
harmony with the platform, including
the tariff plank, but it was specifically
arranged formally to open the campaign
on that basis, and Speaker Henderson
and Governor Cummins, who are mis-
represented as having clashed in the
conference, were selected together tC
sound the keynote at the formal open
ing. Certainly this ought to dispose Of
the silly partisan yarns that have beer
put afioat.

OMAHA, Sept. 10, 19O2.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: In this mornings issue you call
upon the churches to hold appropriate serv-
ices on next Sunday morning in honor Of
President Mckinley. Will you explain why
William Mckinley more than Benjamin
Harrison should be so honored by the
churches? Both served their country IN
various positions, both we're president and
both are dead. One died in the usual man
ner and one was murdered. Does the
murder, not the martyrdom, of a public
man entitle him to canonization and adora-
ton by the churches? TRUMAN BUCK.
Without disparaging the eminent serv-
ices and high character Of Benjamin
Harrison, we think there is a decided
difference. William Mckinley sue
cumbed to the murderer's bullet while
in office, whereas Benjamin Harrison
died a natural death in private life.
William Mckinley was cut off at an un-
timely hour. because he was president
Of the United States. The bullet was
aimed at the president not at the man.
There is no suggestion of McKinley's
canonization, but simply of a tribute to
his memory, and where rather than In
the churches could such a tribute be
paid more appropriately to a man whose
life and death exemplify the highest
type of self-sacrifcing, patriotic and
.God-loving citizenship?

A CONVERTED MONOPOLIsT.

Ridiculous PrefeDsiOns of OhiO's
Democratic Leader.
Indianapolis. Journal.
Tom. l.. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland and
autocrat Of the democratic party in Ohio,
announces himself as the great trust, mo-
nopoly and corporation smasher. He does
rot say exactly how OF by what means he
will do the smashing, except so far as he
has shown a disposition to wreck the prop
erty of the street railway companies in
Cleveland by giving a franchise to a new
corporation on the basis OF Scent fares.
His proclaimed purpose is the municipal
ownership OF the street railways and ulti-
mately the running Of them free Of cost to
those who use them.
AS Mayor Johnson is certain to be the
most discussed democrat in the country
for a time, 1t is entirely proper to inquire
into his antecedents. He vas born in pow
erty and is now several times a millionaire,
how many times is OF no consequence. The
journal finds nothing to condemn in that
