II was fondly believed at the time
that SO fair and so strong a commit
tee would be able to prevent conflicts
between capital and labor, and yet
when the first test came this dispatch
was sent,
THE operators have absolutely refused
to make any concessions. can do no
more. NJ. A. HAN "A"
This precipitated the strike Of the
hard coal miners, and a great strike
extending throughout the soft coal
mines of West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania is probable. If so, fully
100000 men will be Idle, and arbitra-
tion will fail because the operators
consider themselves so strong that
they do not care to present their
cause before arbItrators. They propose
to starve the men into submission.
Already hard coal has been advane-
ed In eastern markets one dollar a
ton. This will fill the pockets Of the
operators. They will thrive while the
consumer is doubly taxed for their
benefit, and business is deranged,
and untold losses occur. This brings
large third party into the contest.
The consumer has a right to be heard,
and he Is beginning to demand that
arbitration take place regardless OF
the operators. Let the committee ap
pointed by the civic federation SCI
and sift the case to the bottom, and
public opinion will do the rest.

Nh Battle In tuscaloosa.

The Atlanta Constitution in endeav-
oring to excuse the tragedy Of last
Saturday says:
Similar affairs occur in nearly all COM
munities of the civilized world. Despera-
does resist the law and its officers and
lives are sacrificed to sustain the public
order. In New York city. In Tuscaloosa
In Alabama, In Indiana and in Chicago
battles have been and doubtless Will
again be fought between the law officers
and the lawless. No locality is immune
from such sudden and calamitous out
breaks
II any such battle has occurred 'in
Tuscaloosa in Alabama" it must have
taken pace when the Age-Heraid was
not looking. II any trouble of a racial
nature happened In Tusca4oosa, We
cannot recall it-that is, anything
since the days of Indian occupation.
There has been at times friction be-
tween the students and their oppon-
ents. but no one was killed, or even
much harmed. No one was even inca
pacitated. Students battles are not
malicious or deep-rooted. They may
desire privilege or two that dis
cipline denies them, and they may
be willing to make good blu.f in or
der to secure them, but they have too
much sense to injure alma mater and
themselves in a desperate battle. No
such battle has occurred at Tusca-
loosa, and none is likely to occur.
Our Atlanta contemporary has unin-
tentionally slandered Tuscaloosa, and
the paragraph we have quoted needs
amendment.

RIDING TO HOUNDS.

Washington Correspondent of Chicago
Tribune.
Miss Roosevelt has been seen leaving
the White House many times Of late,
dressed for ride, and carrying in her
hand little crop. The explanation of this
is just revealed to her friends. She is
taking a course of jumping lessons, with
view to following the hounds. She has
already learned to sit her horse with the
greatest ease and grace while going over
a four-foot hurdle. and is able to hold
him straight over Jump after jump in
quick succession While Miss Roosevelt
has always ridden and driven, and is a
good whip and horsewoman for ordin-
airy purposes, she has never ridden to
hounds. and 1t is for this purpose that
she is now taking the lessons. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., the Presidents eldest son,
joins Miss Roosevelt In her hurdle les
sons and is becoming as expert as she.

The Late Archbishop.

1.-THE secular and non-Cathoiic religious
press have had many interesting and In
telligent estimates of the late Archbishop
Corrigan," said Catholic layman.
Every editor has agreed that he was
a man of wide scholarship and uncom-
monty strong wIll. One of the papers In
giving sketch of the dead prelate said
he was made a bishop at younger age
than any Catholic who had ever been
consecrated In this country. 1 think the
writer was slightly in error. The arch
bishop was nearly S5 when he was made
a bishop and II my memory is true Car
dinal Gibbons, when he was made bishop
and vicar apostolic of North Carolina,
was barely a. BishopGibbons took part
In the Vatican Council when he was only
S.. and IN that great body there were very
few from European States so young"

A CONVENTION IMPOSSIBLE.

From the Carroliton West Albanian
1t is the opinion of the leading and
most prominent men OF Picleens county
that the state committee should order a
primary for all state officials. They
realize that primary comes nearer solv-
ing the problem of harmony than any
other course that could be pursued. We
are surrounded by conditions here that
would not admit Of a convention, and to
order convention would BE- pursuing a
policy that would cause breach among
our people and carry them back to the
days of 80. No man can object to
straight primary, for there is nothing that
would arrive at the wishes of the people
SO equitably and fairly.

Ailanta's Battle Mystery.

Tho riot In Atlanta on Saturday
was not essentially different than the
riots that spring up here and there
wherever negroes are numerous. 1t
was racial from top to bottom. It
could not have occurred IL all had
been whites or all blacks. The race
line In one of its various forms made
it possible and precipitated 1t.
If it be desirable to prevent the re-
currence of such events-if 1t be de-
sirable to stop the loss of valuable
lives In this manner, then the In
wardness of this Atlanta strife should
be closely studied, and there are two
points that need much fuller elucida-
ton than the Atlanta press has thus
far afforded, namely:
1. The nature of ex-Policeman Ker-
Inns past acts towards the desperate
negroes.
2. Why did the negro Richardson
and his associates decide to sell their
lives in that manner? What rendered
them desperadoes? What injury, real
or fanciful, determined them to sell
their lives as dearly as possible on
Saturday In broad daylight at their
own homes?
To declare them mo account ne
groes" settles Notwithstanding
nothing-prevents nothing. No doubt
| there was an element of worthless
ness in their characters, but worth
less negroes do not for the fun OF the
thing rush on to cremation, bloodshed
and certain death. The truth is, these
negroes were laboring under some
sense of wrong, and IL that sense of
wrong were wholly fanciful-wholly
product of ignorance or disordered
minds, 1t should be made manifest.
| to the end that the proper lesson may
be spread far and near, thereby per.
haps preventing like catastrophes.
In the excitement that has thus far
attended the affair no critical exam
nation has been possible, but there
is no reason why Gov. Gambler should
not now see that the truth is brought
out The negro King who was put out
of the beseiged building certainly
knows one side Of the story, and ex.
Policeman, Kerlin knows the other.
The women who befrfended Richard
son know what he was fighting for
what his theory was-what he was
trying to accomplish. The truth can
be ascertained. II has not been thus
far. When 1t is ascertained, the
moral can then be presented, and
the remedies applied. At present all
are at sea, for no one understands the
inwardness OF the case.

Three Bio Bills Before Congress.

There must be either long session
or an extra session, for President
Roosevelt has declared that he will
summon the lawmakers in extra ses-
sion If they adjourn either without
providing a civil government in the,
Philippines, or without aiding Cuba
10 get on her feet. There are three
big bills before Congress Enacted on
the Philippine biil, the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill, and the Nicaragua canal
bill.
The Philippine has been discussed
a long time, but there seems to be
no end to what can be said over it,
for the speeches chiefly relate to the
military government of the islands in
the past rather than to a civil gov
eminent for them in the future. 1t
is thought the beet sugar men are
promoting the current discussion,
hoping in that way to stave off the
pect that the debate over the Philip
pine bill will run out this week, when
a vote will be taken, and the bill
passed by the customary party ma
jority. -
1t has been. agreed that the Hep
burn bill, providing for work upon
the Nicaragua route shall next be
taken up and this will bring the In
ternational railroad lobby into the
field, and long discussion is certain
to ensue, although the Panama
scheme has already lost supporters
Of late, chiefly because no one set Of
men can give clear title to that much
involved plant. Colombia, too, wants
a big price for her rights, and alto
ether Panama is not a strong oppon-
ent. But the railroad lobbists are
very strong, and they will revive
Panama, using 1t to gain the object
they keep in view-no canal on any
route. The character and reputation
of the Senate will then be at stake.
After the canal bill is out of the
way Cuban reciprocity will come up,
and the heats of July viii then be
upon the land. The hotter the tenn
perature becomes the better the
chance of the passage of a bill to
aid the Cubans, for the members of
the two houses will be exceedingly
anxious to get away from Washing
ton which becomes in July almost as
hot as the old-fashioned Tophet.

VANITY.

BY Mrs. Spoford.
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
And day and night are the same as onei
The year grows green, and the year grow
brown,
And what Is II all when all is done?
Grains of soulbre or shining sand,
Gliding into and out Of the hand.
And men go down In ships to the seas,
And hundred ships are the same a.
one;
And backward and forward blows tn,
breeze,
And what is it all, when all IL done?
A tide with never a shore In sight
Getting steadily on to the night
The fisher droppeth his net In the stream
And hundred streams are the same a.
one; 20
And the maiden dreameth her love-lf
dream,
And what is 1t all when all Is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreame
wakes.

New Passenger Station.

when the union passenger station
was built fifteen years ago II was thought
1t would be adequate for Birmingham for
at least forty years, but 1t is entirely In
adequate already. and a new station will
have to be built within the next two or
three years." remarked a railroad OIL
cial.
mo architectural plans have been
drawn for new building so far as l am
advised. but this initial part of the work
will not be long delayed My idea is that
the station will be erected on the South
ern's property on Powell avenue. 1t Is
pretty safe to say that the new building
will be designed for the Greater Birming-
ham of fifty years hence"
