what they are compelled to have.
So, let the car and his associates go
ahead with their projects and if they
succeed in killing off trusts well and

supply and demand, will take care of
fruitful, industrious and skillful

HONOR TO THE COAL MINERS.

The result of the coal miners con-
vention at Indianapolis does honor to
the coal miners of America, and to all
organized labor. In this convention
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America, has shown him
self to be an exceedingly strong man,
and one whose statements and COM
mendations are worthy the most re-
spectful consideration.
The sacredness and inviolability of
agreements entered into by union Ia
Dor has been emphasized in a manner
that will greatly strengthen the hands
of labor organizations in the future.
The mine workers have demonstrated
conclusively that contracts and agree
ments entered into by. their organiza-
lions must and will be preserved invio.
late. AS result, the mine workers
organization has a standing before the
world that it never possessed before
Now it is up to the public to show
tangible appreciation of the situation
The address of the Indianapolis con.
vention to the public will be recogniz.
ed as a calm, unimpassioned utterance
that is worthy of the most considerate
attention from the public generally
The sympathy of the public is with the
anthracite coal miners in this contest
1t is generally felt that their demands
are just and that the operators ought
at least in the main, concede what is
asked. Certain it is that the announc
ed willingness of the miners to sub
init the whole matter to arbitration
pits the operatives on the defensive
The operators should be made to fee
the power of public opinion.

LAcEYs ALASKA GAME LAW.
(Register and Leader.)

Congressman Lacey's services as
practical legislator are again evidenced
by his good work in securing the pass
age during the last session of meas
sure for the protection of game in
Alaska. The new code for Alaskas
which originated in the senate two
years ago, by an ineXpliciable oveH
sight, contained no protection for gam&
and BIRDS although it carried soma
rather inadequate provisions in favoN
of salmon and other fish. The result
of the repeal of all the game laws and
the enactment of code silent upon
the subject was an indiscriminata
slaughter of caribou and deer for tha
hides, and the determination of gamA
in the territory was only question Of
time. Arrangements were being made
by enterprising cold storage operators
to have a wholesale slaughter next
winter and ship the carcasses frozen
to the United States. The game and
fish are the dependence of the Alaskan
natives for food, and great SUFFERING
and probable starvation would have rel
suited If congress had not intervenedh
Major Lacey is never appealed to ali
vain when the dumb friends of man
need protector, and when he learned
of the situation he promptly prepared
a measure to meet it, succeeded in
bringing it to consideration and havS
ing it made law. Its authority will
put stop to the plans of slaughte{
that were maturing.
The new law does not amend the
portion of the code relating to fish, bu$
the major has another bill pending I'd
perfect it's provisions. There is great
wealth in the waters of Alaska for all
time to come if the fishing and pack,
ing industry is carried on with pru3
dent regard for the preservation Of
the splendid species that now inhabit
them.
Along the same line of practical and
beneficial legislation were his efforts
| to restore and regenerate the herd Oh
buffalo in the Yellowstone National
park. Originally there were 400 head
in this herd, but by inbreeding and
| general neglect they have been nearly
eXterminated, only % remaining. Tho
major succeeded in getting an approx
priation of $4,000 to purchase 1ndA
viduals from private herds, thus securs
ing an infusion of new blood. The
| park herd with this addition will now
| receive especial care, be provided with
/ good pasture, and be prevented FROM
straying outside the park where they
may be killed. The act is thoughtful
| provision for the preservation of noa
Bile species under government care. /

Protection and Reciprocity.

"There should not be much excuse
for division over the tariff plank in
the republican state convention" says
the Fairfield Ledger iowa republi-
cans all stand for protection and re-
ciprocity. They are also against the
trusts. They can't revise the tariff
in a one-day session, and it is not
probable that they will try to do So
although they may indicate that some
changes in schedules are advisable in
the near future"

Where Rock Crystals Are Found,

There are q number of we'll de-
fined regions In this country
where rock crystals are found,
and mining for them is carried
on with more or less regularity
most of the time. But the most
remarkable ones have been
found by chance rather than by
any definite clew as to their
whereabouts. One of the WE'LL de-
fined regions where quartz crys
tails have been found in the past
dozen years is at Hot Springs,
COL, on the banks of the Ouach,
ita. A remarkable feature about
these stones is that they are sc
worn by the tide and current
that they are like pebbles. In
most cases they are clear crystals
and they are of fair value. Some
have been cut and sold for good
prices. Scientific American.
