such a prayer, he would have been
denounced as n disgusting hypocrite.
Apparently the New Englanders
believe that Providence never questions
the propriety of anything that is done
in their favored section. The fathers
of the present generation killed and
robbed the Indians, but modern New
England was wont TO go into spasms
because western people were disposed
to defend their homes against savage
inYasion. Hereafter the people living
south of Mason and Dixon line and
west OF the Alleghenies who have the
presumption to invoke the favor OF
Providence should sent their prayers
to Boston for approval before being
transmitted TO the Heavenly throne.

NOT COL. HARLOW.

The Benson Press has found its

dough. His name is Harlow Colonel
w. p. Harlow, of Nogales. Colonel
Harlow is said TO have slowed away in
his brainpan a large surplus of elo-
quence which he is willing to give
freely in return for the Republican
nomination for Congress. The colo
nels possession OF sufficient dough"
is intimated by the Press In connecting
the colonels name with that OF w. G.
Greene in the ownership of the Yaqui
Copper company. at Campo Saute Unio
on the Yaqui river Bisbee Review
There is no doubt about 1t, Harlow
is an available, man. He has elo-
quence and dough and beauty. He Is
in fact species of political peach. and
as Republican candidate for Congress
he would give eclat to public life.
But Harlow can't get the nomina-
ton. 1t is otherwise decreed. His
eloquence. his dough his beauty. will

mulating dough for some time longer

ARROGANT COAL BARONS.

Anthracite mining" declares the
president Of one of the railroads en-
gagged in the coal producing industry,
is busness-and not a religious.
sentimental or academic proposition. ;"
This sarcastic statement was in reply
to a suggestion that certain issues in
controversy between the miners and
the mine owners be submitted for arbi-
tration TO a committee composed in
part of two eminent divines.
The railroad president states the
case in nutshell. Coal mining is
undoubtedly business of the most
practical kinda business In which
theologians. sentimentalists and acad-
emicians have perhaps only an in
direct interest. But there are several
elements In this country which have
a very substantial interest in coal
mining The men who own and oper-
ate factories. the hosts of artisans who
work in industrial establishments, the
people who must have coal for kitchen
ranges and furnaces. have as direct an
interest In the coal problem as the
railroad presidents and mine owners
who control the fuel supply OF the
United States.
The playful snub to distinguished
theologians and impractical sentimen-
talists and visionary academicians may
aHord great amusement TO the satirical
coal magnates. They may poke fun
without disastrous consequences at
bishops. scholars and philanthropists.
Ihey may even convince the plain
people that there is no ethics in the
eoai business" But IL the industries
OF the country should be paralyzed by
the threatened strike of coal minars
throughout the country. the humor of
the situation would scarcely be en-
loyed by manufacturers and mer-
chants. by factory owners and factory
workers They like joke in season.
out not at the expense OF the industries
Of the country.
The coal magnates may find cause
Tor mirth in a coal famine. but we
doubt If this mirth will be prolonged.
after the famine the public may con.
clude that the coal mining business
abounds In ethics: that men who have
so little interest in the general well
fare ought not to be allowed to main
tain monopoly. That is an ethical
which may yet be brought
home to our ironical coal barons. Per
haps a little hnmor of that kind would
not strike them favorably.
