Presidential Aspirants at Home.

The men most prominently mentioned in
connection with the next democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency are William j.
Bryan. Grover Cleveland David B. HILL A.
P. German, Richard Olney and Tom l..
Johnson. All are participating In the pres
ent campaign. and all. 1t is fair to assume.
are hoping for results that will prove of per-
sonal advantage in the matter Of their presi-
Dental aspirations. What is the outlook
as respects the home constituencies of these
men?
Mr.. Bryan is az nearly the whole thing III
Nebraska as Mr. HIN is in New York this
year. He is giving his entire time to the
state race, and is as busy as though he had
his spurs yet to win. He lost the state
two years ago Can he carry 1t on this off
year? By declining all outside invitations
he confesSes to a hard task at home, and If
he loses again it will be blow to the fu-
sion movement for which he so conspicu-
ously stands.
Mr.. Cleveland lives in New Jersey. but he
Is still associated IN the public mind with
New York politics. He and Mr.. Hill are
working together in behalf of democratic
success in New York The betting on the
result Is slow, owing to a lack OF Coler
money. The odds are two to one in favor
of the republican candidate. and the man
ayers Of the republican campaign express
entire satisfaction with the situation.
Mr.. German, as usual, Is giving good
deal OF attention to the Maryland campaign.
and Is his party's most capable adviser. Both
sides are working hard. and both are ex-
pr essing confidence in the result, but even
IL the democrats should poll the vote they
now claim to have ready 1t will not re-estab-
sessed and exercised in the state
Nobody expects the democrats to carry
Massachusetts, but there has been some
claim that they would make a clever show
ing In the congressional contests Should
they succeed in doing this, Mr. Olney who
for the first time has been on the political
stump. might reap the benefit in the way
of an advertisement.
In Ohio Mr. Johnson Is going 1t alone
BY his personal attacks on Mr.. Mclean he
has made 1t very likely that the friends Of
the latter will cut him on election day; and
In such an event he will of course be badly
beaten. However. his chances would not
have been fattering even had he pursued a
different course. He stands for q number
Of fads. and fads have never won with a
sober minded people like the buckeyes.
No one of these six men Is carrying his
state around In his vest pocket, but all are
finding 1t necessary to exert themselves,
and several Of them under discouraging cir
cumstances

Today at the Mines.

The dispatches indicate that the resump-
ton of work IN the hard coal mines was not
as general today as the public expected. One
estimate is that only about u per cent of
the mining properties were started under
the new conditions. Those remaining Idle
are for the most part out OF condition for
Immediate operation, owing to the presence
of water In some of the remote shafts,
while several are flooded so badly that they
cannot be operated for two months. In
some of the mines trouble arose because
the men would not agree not to interfere
with the non-unfon workers. and other
strikers refused to go to work on condition
that they sign or give their verbal agree
ments to abide by the decision of the arbi-
tration commission.
1t would appear that there has been no
uniform practice with regard to the re-
quirement OF agreements OF any sort from
the men. Nor is there any settled policy
as far as today's news goes, among the
strikers with reference to their treatment
of the non-union workers Friction Is In
evitable in some quarters, as the classes
of workingmen vary The dynamiting or
five houses by strikers at various points IN
the anthracite region yesterday, on the
very eve of the resumption of work
augured badly Tor the prospects oI pedeS
but there has been no report as yet today
Of renewed disorders or outrages.
Apparently the coal supply is not to be
restored to Its normal point for many
weeks Even with the greatest good nature
among the returning men toward the non
unIonists the bad condition of the mines
will prevent full productiveness until we'll
into November at the earliest. Every fac
t1r-o
classes will delay the resumption Of full
time mining, which the public now demands
and requires. 1t behooves the leaders OF
the men to ensure an orderly. complete
compliance with the terms of the Wilkes
barre agreement In the best Of faith. which
means that the men shall return in order to
such places as are open to them. determined
to make good as far as possible now for
the months OF idleness.

Lost Days.

The day has gone by when lost time
can be easily regained When men Travelled
slowly and took their leisure In their bust
ness there was a margin for the process
known as catching up" after procrastina-
tion or other loss of opportunity. But now
the day Is too well filled with details and
duties. the vaiue of the hour has been too
materially increased. to allow much recov-
cry. The large manufacturing establish
ments often work constantly, with either
two shifts Of twelve or three shifts of eight
hours each: In them a loss of a day Is
never TO be regsined. This is the case wit h
the anthracite coal mines which TODAY
open after being practically closed for
nearly SIX months. Thsse mines are kept
constantly running and cannot be extended
IN pronuctlVeness from the normal point
save by the opening of new headings and
shafts and the Introduction OF new ma

The Freight Rate for Anthracite.

FROM the Philadelphia Press.
President j. ]. Hill, in attacking the
freight rate for anthracite, has laid his
finger on the weakest point in the manage
ment of the nthracite-carryfng railroads.
Anthracite averages twice the cost of
bituminous. By a familiar rule this JUS
titles a higher rate. 1t is carried over a
shorter haul, and in general the shorter
haul from a non-competitive point, while
1t cannot by law be higher than the longer
haul in the same direction from a competi-
tive point is often as high, because railroad
rates are not decided by mileage, but by
demand and competition.
A somewhat higher per ton mile rate en-
anthracite than on bituminous would there
fore be reasonable; but anthracite has been
carried In the same train as btuminous
coal at a per ton mile rate four times as
high.
This is manifestly unfair. The difference
is too great 1t justifies President Hill 8
sharp criticism. If the anthracite strike
commission makes a recommendation on
this point the anthracite roads will find it
difficult to maintain their present rate.

The Coal Heavier.

His clothes may be tattered and torn;
His hat may be battered and worn;
His face all begrimed
And his language ill-timed,
But no one shall use him with scorn
Receive him with garlands and songs;
Salute him with shovel and tongs:
Let the populace shout
While the bells peal out
With 'dlngs,' not emitting the "dongs.
His coming brings joy to the soul.
Though he claims a most liberal toll,
The town will be seen
In rivalry keen
For the man who Is putting in coal.
