Irwin executed their coup by laying their
track down Washington street at night
recently.
At a special meeting Of the City Council
held Immediately after the Irwin track

Law, the Great Need.
New York Evening Post.
Goodwin Smith, of whom 1t may still be
said, as Golden said of him forty years
ago, that "his pen is power in the state"
had a brief but weighty letter on the coal
strike in yesterdays Sun. The sum of 1t Is
that the crisis calls for a new assertion of
the national authority. He points out that
anthracite mining has clearly become ma
tional interest, and maintains that the ma
tional government ought to have power.
when local government fails, to declare
the imperled interest national and take the
matter into its own hands" BY this Mr..
Smith does not mean to countenance any
scheme of Matchmaking the mining bust
ness. He desires, rather, to see 1T simply
rationalized. He would have 1t. that is,
and all parties to It, made subject to fed
eral law, so that when the comfort and
well-being and almost the very life of the
people are threatened. we shall not have to
present to the world the spectacle of a
great nation unable to protect itself from
internal enemies. Mr.. Smiths letter closes
with these words:
1.-The political verdict of the civil war
was that you were no longer federation
of sovereign States, but nation. Con-
firmation of this verdict may be useful
and redeemng consequence of the strike.
The acute and friendly observer has put
his finger on the sore spot All rejecting
Americans have felt, within the past few
weeks a sort of ba flied and angry sense OF
national impotence and humiliation. AS ex-
Secretary Olney said at Boston on Satur-
day, we have seen our President 1outed

even more gravely wounded in the dignity
