SCRANTON, DECEMBER 80. 1902.

We hasten to assure the Democratic
organ that The Tribune does not
''hate" John j. Fahey or any other
man. For one thing, life is too short
to be occupied with hates and for an
other, the only thing we have against
MIR. Fahey is his politics. Aside from
that, Mr.. Fahey has our cordial es-
TEEN. If the next recorder is to be Il
Democrat we had as lief it were John
Fahey as any other. But 1t still is
curious that the new ring in the Lack
awanna Democracy which just now is
engaged in pushing Fahey for recorder
should appear to have it's headquar-
ters in O. judicial chamber. There are
some old-fashioned persons left in this
county who cling to the belief that a
judge on the bench ought not to en-
gage actively in political management
and manipulation. They can see how
such activity might lead to very un-
desirable effects, especially in connec-
tion with license court. They may be
wrong and their fears in this instance
may be groundless. We shall wait
and see.

coal strike which is truly proving oner-
Gus, and the end Of 1t is not yet in
sight.
But it Is one thing to diagnose an all
fnent and quite a different thing to
define cure. No federal receiver OF
a coal mine could force miners ON
strike TO return to work against their
will. The most that he could do would
be to induce them to come back Ivy
yielding to their demands. lr these de-
mands should include, as they prob
ably would, a long-term contract with
a union, exclusive OF non-unioI labor,
how could the receiver enforce its oh
scrvancc ny the real owners Of the
mine after ii had been restored TO
them? II the sanctity OF contract is
worth q constitutional guarantee, free
is q necessary corollary.
But the fatal objection to the Mason
scheme is in the notion that the federal
government has power to seize proper
ty without compensation in time or
peace. 1t is conceivable that the state
OF Pennsylvania might exercise emir-
ent domain over an idle coal mine, but
all phases OF the federal authority in
such premises were canvassed by the
advisers OF President Roosevelt prior
TO his unofficial intervention in the re-
cent strike and they were unanimous
in the conclusion that the government
as u government could do nothing.
What the president did toward estab-
fishing a motlus vivendi was done in
personal capacity, as IL leader but not
ats an officer of public opinion.
However, it will do no harm to have
the subject discussed in the senate. 1t
is momentous topic, upon which too
much light cannot be shed.

IGRf naHhhh mas an A'1efi-
executive received such a
compliment as that paid III
in an open letter to President
Roosevelt by Baron d'Estournells de
Constant, one of Frances delegates TO
the international conference which
gave birth to The Hague peace tribun-
al:
a great number of Frenchmen and
other Europeans are happy to join with
me in expressing to YOU their gratitude
for the generous, unyieldins iirmness
you have displayed in support Of inter-
national Justice. Europe is constantly
speaking OF American competition,
which has its material advantages in
stimulating our energies; but you have
inaugurated a moral competition more
effective than the other.
Twice you have reminded the gov
ernments of their duty. pointing out
amidst the difficulties resulting from
the transformation of the globe that
the court of arbitration offered the gov
ernments its resources and the iuTisdic-
ton instituted by all and that it was
been bOycotted. BY q silent, senile un-
derstanding the governments thought
to abandon The Hague tribunal. On
the morrow of its official creation it
was about to perish through i'll will
when you came to protest against the
attempt. which was threatening the lib
critics of the world. To two republics
of the new world, the United States and
Mexico, belongs the honor OF opening
iii the face of passive Europe the gates
of The Hague tribunal. This first leg
son ought to have been sufficient, but
it was humilating To find recently that
not a single authorized voice was raised
to remind the powers of their duty,
plainly assumed under Article 27 only
three years ago.
THE initiative Uf the United States
compared with the paralysis OF Europe
Is a sign OF the times which q Euro
pean must have the courage to recog-
nize. Honor to your government. which
has understood that amidst the general
abstention some one had to awaken
the Others from their lethargy and lead
them forward in the way OF justice and
prOgresss."
From the Rough Rider OF San Juan TO
the savior OF international arbitrat ation
seems far stretch in contrasts, but il
typifies the American way. And where,
by the bye, are those who feared the
United States would fall permanently
into "militarism?'
