NOT A REMEDY.

The professional trouble hunters of
the Democratic party have keptya
searchlight on the administration to
discover material for campaign pur-
poses; but, so soon as some apparent
sin of omission FOR commission is dis
covered, when the real facts become
known the hue that was scarlet to
color blind Democracy becomes the in
nocent white of the snow. Now the
Democrats see victory ahead and
figure that the next national House of
Representatives will have majority
of Democrats, and the Mark Tapleys
of that political faith maintain that
the majority will be over whelmingly
Democratic. The ground for this
claim is the circumstance that the
United States is temporarily embarass-
ed as to its supply of anthracite coal,
condition, the Democrats allege,
which free trade would have rendered
impossible and for which their favorite
medicine is the remedy,
Their reasoning might be likened
unto the physician who uses strych-
nine for heart stimulant. 1t may be
all right for that PURPOSE but for
every day maladies it would tend to
increase the mortality rate. COnced-
ing that the duty of siXtyseven cents
a ton ON imported coal is IA burden
just at present-remove this duty and
where is the person among our Demo
cratic friends who can explain how
the condition of the miners, wretched
as it maybe under conditions existing
which are the grounds of the pres

or in the future?
AS to anthracite, the bulk of this
coal mined comes from Pennsylvania,

made that in ten years it would bring
into the State treasury, biennialiy,
nearly million of dollars, the proph-
ct might have been stoned, after the
manner of some of his predecessors in
Scriptural times. If, again, it had
been prophesied, that the expendit-
ures of the State would increase in
that period to 81, 100, 1916, for the
biennial term, or nearly 5000, 600 a
would be doubled in ten years

deed those who foresaw, or feared,
that, with a large revenue which did
not come directly from the pockets of

ishly would come also but the figures
which now express the States annual
expenditures never rose on the vision
of the loudest of the wailing Jere-
miahs. A million dollars revenue, in
two years, from the corporations
would have seemed an Eldoradv whose
wealth no extravaganza could exhaust.
This, however, is not the matter
for the present consideration. That
is the amount and the sources of the
corporation and the collateral inheri-
lance taxes for the last biennial term.

By the time the coal famine is re-
lieved the demand for anthracite will
be considerably lessened, as oil burn
ing devices are being rapidly perfect
ed whereby the largest manufactur-
ing plants will not be dependent upon
coal for fuel. The railroads are ex-
perimenting with oil. 1t is reported
that the Southern Pacific expects to
have every engine on its system
equipped for burning oil within a
year.

anthracite. There is no duty on hard
coal. The tariff of siXty-seven cents
a ton pertains to soft coal. Free trade
would not relieve the situation; a
duty of 500 a ton would not change
the sitution, as the United States sup
plies the world.
But the Democrats would remove
the duty on bituminous coal and thus
cripple this branch of the mining in
dustry-which could not then compete
with English mines-would reduce the
wages of soft coal miners to the Eu-
ropean level, lower the marked price
of coal to the same level, indirectly

TIME TO LAUGH.

Some of the state educational jour
nails are having all sorts of fun at the
expense of the Florence school board.
1t seems that certain members of the
board decided that the credits given by
the state universities and normal
schools are not to be depended upon as
an evidence of educational qualifica-
tion, so they decided that all teachers
in the schools must pass an examina-
tion as prescribed by the board, no
matter how many diplomas they
might possess nor how many years of
experience they might have had, nor
how efficient their work. Some of
the teachers employed in the past
bolted. but others took an examination
conducted by the superintendent, the
high school teacher and the science
teacher.
And now comes the most remarkable
proceeding ever recorded in the history
of schools. This week @. X. Bernard,
teacher in the grades, is cond ucting
an examination os Superintendent
Alfred Durfee, Prof. W. W. Boner
snd Prof. Kenyon.
Now wouldn't it jar you?
1t has been suggested, and The Trib
une endorses it, that another examina
tion should be held by board of
sanity experts and that the school
board should be required to take the
examination.
The minority of the board. who
opposed this farcical proceeding, alone
would escape.

long winded articles for the guidance
of the democratic party, dodging the
old issues of the populist party in

mails to the Cross ''lie" which
appeared in The Tribune, one in the

lightener of the "abjectly ignorant. y
