PRESSURE ON THE COAL OPERA
TORS

The people are beginning to speak
out in behalf of their rights in the an
thracite coal fields. That they have
some rights there is no doubt. There
is no reason why they should suffer
from lack of fuel because the coal oper-
ators and the coal miners fail to come
to an understanding with each other
in regard to wages.
They do not undertake to say that
the strikers shall be settled with on
their own terms. They do not say that
the coal operators are in the wrong or
that the strikers are in the wrong.
They simply say that it is the duty of
the coal operators to give them coal.
And thus far they have raised no ques-
ton about the price though they would
sonable.
Parties in Boston have filed a bill
in the Supreme Court of Massachusetts
asking that receiver be appointed for
the coal roads-a receiver that will
operate the mines. The people of Meri-
den, Conn, at mass meeting, have
passed resolutions asking the Governor
Of Pennsylvania to inTugurate proceed
ing looking to placing the coal roads
in the hands of a receiver, so that the
coal mines will be operated and the
public will be able to get coal.
Evidently a crisis is approaching in
the battle between the coal operators
and the strikers. The public is TAX
ing a hand in it. and there will have
to be an adjustment of the differences
between the coal operators and the
strikers. The public does not intend to
be the victim of the stubbornness of
the opposing parties to the quarrel
in the coal fields any longer. if it can
help it. There must be a settlement,
or one party or the other must give
way.
With the public demanding coal the
strikers seem to have the best of the
battle. If they can hold out a few
weeks longer-until freezing weather
ccmes-the coal operators will have to
T.. .eld or there will be riots in the cities
III which anthracite coal is the chief
fuel
The coal operators have been pre-
tending that they could operate the
mines if given protection, but it is
evident they cannot. They cannot get
the necessary number of miners. The
Governor of Pennsylvania has been and
still is giving them all of the protection
~he can, but they have made but little
progress in getting coal out of the
mines. 1t looks now as if they would
have to make concessions.

the lock trick, which. by the way, is
enc of the smoOthest of the whole list
and all the others are cheap and clumsy
in comparison with the clever scheme
that was worked on a downtown bar
keeper a few evenings ago. 1t shows
che thing, and that is that the criminal
classes are quite as active mentally
and otherwise as men who are engaged
in the decent callings of life. They
are probably more active mentally
than the men who are ground into
narrow grooves because of eeaselNss
toilinS in an effort to keep the wGlf
away. The new flim-nam scheme is
wonderfully simple and is worked with
paper money. A 81 and a S. bill are
needed. OF course, bills of higher de-
nomination could be used, but the two
men who worked the trick here used
the bills of the first denominations
81 and a S. bill. 1t is worked in this
way One of the men will write in thin
lettering on the back of the s. bill
what is supposed to be a list of his

One shirt, 2 collars, pairs of cuffs.
He will go into a saloon when there

will call for a drink.
The money IS put in the drawer,
the man gets his drink and his change
and walks out. Directly MS partner
walks in, calls for a glass of beer and
tenders 81 bill in payment. The bar
keeper throws cat 81 cents in change.

piece of money and that was a S. bill,

He calls for the boss, tells him of the

scheme they worked on the man down.

swindled until he thought over 1t for
some time, and then the whole plot

but one that will not last, as bar
keepers are awfully quick to get on to-
tricks of this sort"

A QUEER POLITICAL SITUATION.

Is Senator Harris of Kansas talking
simply to bring himself into notoriety
or is he in earnest when he says that
it is his opinion that neither the Dem
ocrats nor the Republicans want to
elect a majority of the members of the
House of the Fifty-eighth Congress?
Mr.. Harris, the last one OF the Popu-
list senators, is looked upon as a brainy
man, and a man who has convictions
and gives utterance to them.
He says the reason the Republicans
do not want the majority is that they
don't want the responsibility of legis-
lating on the trust question on the eve
of a presidential campaign. And the
Democrats don't want the majority for
the same reason. According to Mr.
Harris therefore neither party feels
itself equal to the task of making laws
in regard to trusts that will satisfy the
public.
Mr.. Harris may be right, so far as the
Republicans are concerned. The Repub-
issue, but if the Democrats were to
get a majority of the next House they
would undoubtedly enact an antitrust
| law that would be much more string
ent than the present one, but what
would the Senate do in the matter?
The Senate will be Republican until
after the next presidential election.
After ALL the Republicans will have
to take the responsibility in connec-
ton with the trust question whether
they win or lose the next House. STILL
they may think that if the Democrats
carry the next House they will make
them, in some way, share the respon-
sibility, or at least prevent them from
getting political capital out of the
| trust question.

A Middleton, New York, dispatch to

Two years ago Mr.. Maison was asked
10 visit a stranger who was i'll in an

discovered that they were large stock

mine has rapidly increased in yalua

Al1,s Wen maj Ends Wei.

A philosopher, a philanthropist, and
a fool once started out to reform a
great city, writes Tom Mason in
Branur Magazine.
"Now, if you will listen to me-" said
the philosopher, 81 will explain just
how the whole movement should be
conducted. We must first study all
the municipal ramifications and CLASH
fly all the phenomena observed accord
ing to the laws of cause and effect.
When this point has been arrived at
we shall then be able to reduce the
whole matter to a system according to
the distribution Of forces and the con-
servatiOn of energy
That is all very well as far as it
goes said the philanthropist, "but
my way is better. Let me erect a lot
of libraries throughout the town at
convenient places, where all the books
| have written and will write will be
read. In few years all the people
will have received into their craniums
so much accumulated wisdom that they
viii know how to govern themselves,
and all will be we'll"
The fool winked the other eye, and
whispered the following aside:
"These fellows think they know it
first, for the last man in an argument
has the best show. Now, what l pro-
pose to do is just to let things go to
the dogs, for I've got fool notion that
the best reform is from the inside out
side, and not from the outside inside
So he took the philosopher and the
philanthropist over to a stockholders
meeting in Newark, N. j., and after
the proceedings, read them one of AL
fred Austin's odes that put them To
sleep for twenty years.
When they woke up they found. look
ing backward, that the first five years
the city had been governed by a pro-
fessional politician who made a million;
the second five years by a fulI-hedged
boss who did even better and not only
stole for himself but for his family
| and friends the third five years, by
an organized clique of robbers who
grabbed everything in sight and plum

Now that lola is dead, and died in as
tragic manner as he would have
cared to describe in one of his novels.
we shall probably have an exhausting
and exhaustive discussion of his in
fluence upon literature and morals. 1t
was his claim that he did not write for
children and young women. He felt
that there were high aims to be accom-
plished for the race through the novel,
even though it might be necessary to
delVe deep into the mire for the foun-
dalton OF a story. That he awakened
the sensibilities of his people on more
occasions than one cannot be denied.
He made himself a power in France.
His latest achievement of note was in
connection with the Dreyfus case. In
all human probability. il lola had not
taken up the fight for a reopening of
that famous case, Dreyfus would have
been left 10 die on Devil Island. But
the novelist, by his powerful appeal TO
the public conscience, aroused "A doubt

PERSONAL.

AT the recent meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement of
Science Sir Frederick Bramwell offered
suggestion which a good many of his
hearers refuse to take seriously. His
idea was that the leading powers
should adopt the Italian Language as
the proper organ for a world speech,
urging that after twenty years no one
should be eligible to office in these
countries unless able to speak and
write the Italian tongue.
During the recent Devery political
fight in New York it was often demon
strated that the big chief knew
things that his opponents did not want
him to know. One of his henchmen ex-
plains the mystery in this way: when
Bill Devery was chief of police he
learned good many things about lead
ing men IN both parties and he made
use of this leverage in his Ninth dis
trlct fight. Why, these fellows had to
give up to him, for if Bill should tell
all he knows a good many big men
would be off to the woods"

A considerable part of the undesir-
able immigration that has filtered into
this country during the past several
years has come by way of Canada
Steamship companies with terminals in
Canada, it is said, have taken Storage
passengers from the South of Europe
with the guarantee that they would be
finally placed across the border in the
United States. The lack of an effective
force of customs officers along the Ca
madam border has ena bled the steam
ship companies to fulhll their contracts
in this particular. Recently, however.
some sort of an agreement seems to
have been reached between the United
States and Canada under which there
will be a considerable restriction of
the undesirable immigration. The
agreement applies to immigrants from
Europe only. Canada is not yet ready
to join this country in its attitude to-
wards the Chinese.
