MUST HAVE COAL.
The Issue is Now squarely Up to Gov

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Washington Star says:
THE issue is now Squarely up to Gov
ernor Stone, who has already seriously in
CURED the charge of neglect of duty. The
public interests demand that he waive all
considerations of politics and, ignoring the
fact that a sharp political campaign is in
progress concentrate all available, state
troops at the mines
What our contemporary says is indis-
putably true. The issue is squarely up to
the governor, and it is his imperative duty
to concentrate all state troops at the mines,
not only in respect to conserving public in
terests, but with regard to securing to all
men who wish to work the right to work
without fear, moleStation or peril to their
lives and the lives of their wives and chill
dren.
Governor Stone has by paltering with the
situaton-which is one OIL open, defiant out
rage and anarchy-incurredt the just charge
of neglect of duty. He has not, as it was
his bounden duty to do, ignored the fact
that sharp political campaign is in prog
ress, but impeled by sordid considera tons

measures, permitted the strength of the law

Governor Stone can give the people these

The operators have offered to make the dis

Whether good or bad, it seems reasonable
to suppose that those who have shown the
intelligence, energy and will to accumulate
property are the more competent to COM

operators is that some common carriers

statute. The guilt is theirs and that Of the
companies which have so engaged in illegal
operations; but this can have no immediate
connection with the strike. To the union
men the opera tors have done no legal In

strong reasoning. It is not their fault that

The people demand coal. Considering this

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 17.-General

preme commander of the Colombian
army. has arrived here from Colon,
which port he reached Wednesday
from the interior of the republic.
The general who recently pacified
three Of the departments of Colombia,
has been invested with presidential
power. He was accorded most ell
thusiastic reception here. Governor
Salazar, with all the high civil and
military authorities, met him at the
railroad station. A guard of American
marines presented arms on his arrival,
and such was the enthusiasm of the
crowds assembled that the guard was
unable to prevent the people from rush
ing into the depot when the train from
Colon reached this city.
The appearance of the general was
the signal for wild cheering. A mill
tary band played the national anthem
and General PerdOmO was escorted by
General Salazar and the other officials
to the center of the city. The streets
We're lined with government soldiers,
who also presented arms when the
party passed. In the evening there
was a banquet and other celebrations
OH the part of the Conservatives, who
have received great encouragement
from the arrival of the minister of

The United States steamer Ranger
which left Panama Oct. 10 with an
important communication from Rear
Admiral Casey for General Herrera,
the revolutionary commander, returned
here during the afternoon.
