posts are important ones, and the men are
competent for the highest diplomatic du-
ties.
Mr. Mckinley. who did everything so
well. did nothing better in any line than in
that of distributing his highest diplomatic
patronage. He did not try to capitalize 1t
politically. Ne did not put 1t at the COM
mand of the political managers. He put
different valuation on It, and sought men
for the more important places who had
more intellectual and all-around prestige
than pull" That was what gave us John

The New York Situation.

The political leaders lot is not happy

b Hill would have been satisfied with
candidate for governor who was strong
enough TO make a good race and help him
keep his hold the state organization.
Democratic success seemed quite out of the
question. Today the aspect of affairs is
somewhat changed. Things are looking
little brighter for the democracy. There are
divisions in the republican camp which may
grow and make themselves felt at the polls.
He is urged therefore to make a bold play
for the prize. But with whom? He wants
q man of his own. He is advised 10 take
some friend of Mr.. Cleveland But what
would it profit him 10 carry the state this
year with a man not in sympathy with his
own aspirations for 1904? If a democrat is
elected governor of New York in November
he will at once become a powerful factor in
national affairs His success might secure
him his partys presidential nomination.
And where would that leave Mr. Hill? \
Hill man, willing to efface himself in case
of success and help along the Hill boom is
the man desired. but where may he be
found?

The Latest Anti-Imperialist Document

Moorfed Storey, agent and attorney IN
fact has filed a new indictment In the case
of the anti-imperialists against the United
States of America. In the nrst Indictment
the army was the object of attack. the
men serving in the Philippines were de-
scribed as a brutal mob glorying in cam
paigns of blood and torture. The flag had
BEEN disgraced by them and the civilized
world Mortified by their excuses. That
proved boomerang. Not many people
echoed those sentiments. A few immature
democratic senators took up the cry, but
the older and wiser senators of that party

ence-sat silent and ashamed while the
fledglings were chirping They had their
opinions, as did others, of birds that befoul
their own nests.
An investigation was demanded by the
anti-imperialists, and granted. Their sena-
torial champions were made members of the
committee Witnesses were called and thor
oUghly examined. Accusers of the army first
addressed themselves to generalities. Final
ly an ex-soldier Corporal o. rien, was
found who offered very damaging partcu-
lars, and the anti-imperialists glored in the
discovery. He was called at their request
and became their star performer. The re

awaiting trial.
The army triumphed at home as 1t had
done in the Philippines. The effort to be-
smirch it failed. The story had for the
most part dropped out of notice until Mr..
Root reviewed it at Peoria the other night.
The leaders of the democratic party had
practically repudiated the whole discredit-
able proceeding. Mr.. Carmack is combining
his stumping to Tennessee, where forty or
fifty thousand majority for his party is
already claimed. Mr.. Culberson Is not in
the campaign at all Mr. Patterson Is in
Colorado. and Mr.. Dubois in Idaho.
But the anti-imperialists continue the
fight, although changing the line of attack
Even they have discovered that the country
has pride in the army. So, while still hold
ing to the assertion that the war was cruel
ly and unjustly waged. they seek to make
the soldiers but the blind and obedient in
struments of a higher authority. Mr. Nc
kinley is not indicted although he knew
and approved of all that Mr. Root knew
Mr.. Roosevelt is not indicted, although he
knows and has approved of Mr.. Roots
course. The arch fiend is the Secretary of
War, and the anti-imperialists. in the name
of outraged humanity, demand punishment

Shall We asks Mr. Storey in conclusion,

1t is an unwise and uncomfortable posi-
ton, and rendered more so in Mr. Storev's
case by the fact that there is not sand
enough TO hide the portions of his anatomy
which are so conspicuously exposed.

Coal, Corn, Beef.

From the Worcester Spy.
The high prices attained by coal show
as eloquently as anything can the enor-
nous calamity the strike has brought upon
the country. The most dreadful thing
about it all is that the burden falls most
heavily on those who are least able to
bear it-that large class of residents of
cities which purchases fuel in small quaint
ties from day to day Who can say to
what wretchedness and suffering thou
sands will be exposed when cold weather
comes, unless the coal supply is re-estab-
lished Immediately? Those Of moderate
means find the situation bad enough, while
persons of wealth feel that they are being
shamefully and needlessly taxed. Already
the strike has become of the most
momentous labor disturbances the world
has known because it is costing the people
SO dearly. The failure of the corn crop
the scarcity of beef, the lack of fuel,
seem like three distinct warnings There
should be an abundance of everything nee
essary to mans comfort in this country of
unbounded resources, and suspension of
production of some commodity in one par
ticular section should be powerless to make
the results felt everywhere.

who would understand what Mr.. Baer con-

who would understand what Mr.. Baer con-
siders satisfactory dividends"
The various statements of earnings issued
by the "coaler" companies have been
thought gratifying by the bull element In
Wall street and the quotations on the coaler
shares have shown steady Increase, fol-
lowing the upward trend of the market for
several years. In fact. Reading made ma
terial advances after the strike was begun.
If the companies are losing money on the
coal they mine. and receiving unsatisfac-
tory dividends, or no dividends. On their
railroad stock. they show considerable stub
bornness In clinging to their Improbable
holdings
The cost of production of ceal per ton is
another point on which the public would
appreciate enlightenment. There is great
disagreement as to this. Some mining ex-
perts. who have divided. they claim. the
cost of production of representative mines
by the number of tons produced, fix the
cost of mining at s1.S7 a ton. The average
cost to consumers. before the strike. is
given as $6.25. This leaves a difference of
s4.3S to be divided somewhere between the
mine companies and the retailers. 1t would
appear that this margin ought to pay In
terest on the capital invested and leave a
net profit Particularly Is this so when, as
it is believed, the mine companies have
fixed the rate at which consumers might
buy. The interstate commerce commission
might get to the bottom Of this abstruSe
problem.
On authority OF the miners representa-
tives it is said that anthracite miners Work
ten hours day. that they work on an
average two hundred days year for an
average wage of sl.42 a day. or an average
annual wage of $2S4. They aliege that each
miner mines ON an average two and one
third tons day, at the rate of sixty cents
a ton, the average ton of the miner weigh
ing 2,34O pounds, a hundredweight over a
long ton.

representatives abroad are insuf1cfently

who fill these prominent places to draw
upon their private purses for a portion of
their necessary expenses. Sometimes the

Sunday Reading.
From the Boston Transcript

Mr.. Putnam. librarian of the Congress
sional Library at Washington. reports that
the first Sunday opening of that institution
has met with marked favor. Four thou
sand three hundred people. more than
double the average weekday attendance,
were present. and in addition to the usual
enjoyment of the art work in the building,
a large part of the crowd patronized the
periodical room. The fact that the read
ing was largely confined to scientific and
technical magazines and trade journals and
that little attention was paid to publca-
lions devoted to fashions, indicates that
those present were largely of the class
which is engaged in toll on other days, but
welcomes this opportunity to acquire knowl-
edge and culture

Investigation Needed.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The coal situation is a federal problem
and one to which President Roosevelt might
give thought with advantage The anthra-
cite monopoly is odious and dangerous. 1t
exists through the agreement of the rail-
roads to suppress everything like a free
competition between the mines they own
and work and those still held under nomi-
rally Independent ownerships 1t Is In effect
a conspiracy in restraint of trade. and the
power it confers upon little syndicate of
railroad presidents representing others more
potent in organization and finance is abused
to the public detriment
