this threat.

New York, June 1870 confident are
the mine operators of winning their
struggle with their employees in the
anthracite region that statement has
been issued at Wilkesbarre to the effect
that when operations shall have been
resumed fewer men will be employed.
It is planned to reduce the number of
miners one-third and Increase wages
by one-third. In other words, the
operators believe their forces can be
reduced from an approximate Of 147.-
600 men to 100000.
The operators say they will not at
tempt to resume the mining of coal at
all colleries and that restrictions will
be placed on the summary closing Of
the mines without notice by the men
remaining away from work for the
purpose of celebrating various Holt
days, ETC.. and they will be ex-
pected to be on duty every day the
mine is open.

Just as firmly as it did IS days ago. AS
the days go by 1t becomes more appar-
ent that it is case Of the Survival of
the fttest." Neither the miner nor
the operator has anything further to
propose, and if u solution of the dis
pute is to come 1t looks very much as
though 1T will have to come from q
third party.
The entire region was quiet Satur-
day and the territory affected by the
strike presents q Sunday-lilie appear
ance. Including those who are not on
strike, but are affected by the suspen-
sion, there are approximately 10000
men and boys idle. The efforts of the
strike leaders to bring out the fire
bosses is not meeting with as much
success as they expected.
President Mitchell Saturday received
advices from West Virginia, which, he
says, are extremely favorable to the
strikers. One telegram from the Kama
wha and New River districts, where a

that IL, 100 men are on strike in that
territory.
Story Denied.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 16. - The
statement printed Saturday and al.
legged to be from an official close to the
large coal companies to the effect that
the strike is teaching the operators to
economic the working force at their
mines and that after the strike is over
less than 100,000men will be used in he

Washington, June 16.-The senate
committee on territories Saturday
decided to take up for consideration
early in the next session of congress
the omnibus statehood bill, admit
ting into the union the territories of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
The decision was reached upon mo-
ton of Senator Nelson, and the mo-
ton was adopted by strict party
vote, the republicans voting in the af-
firmative and the democrats in the
negative. This vote was preceded by
two votes on motions made by DEM
ocratic members looking to the con-
sideration Of the bill during the pres
ent session. The first Of these mo-
tions was to take up the question
next Wednesday. This motion was
made by Senator Bate, and was voted
down. the republicans voting unani-
mously in the negative, and the dem
ocrats in the affirmative. A motion
by Senator Bailey to report the bill
Saturday met with a like fate on a
party vote. The democrats opposed
Senator Nelson's motion on the
ground that its adoption would pre-
clude the possibility of considering
the bill during this session.

Sound Sense.

This talk of some papers TO the ef-
feet that politics should be eliminated
from judicial conventions is worse
than meaningless, says the Nevada
Mail.
From what judicial convention
should politics be eliminated?
The Democrats hold one and the
Republicans hold another.
If there is to be no politics why
hold two conventions?
Any man who accepts party sup
port obligates himself-if he is honest
to extend party aid If he does
not, he is not worthy Of party sup
port, no matter for what position he
stands. This, of course, is an honest,
manly way.
The fact is, that our state tickets
should be nominated all together in
one convention. There is no reason
for two state conventions by one
party to nominate state ticket, I'M
less they are to be voted for on sepa-
rate ballots. 1t is loss of time and
expense for nothing to continue the
present rule.
The Republican judicial convention
indorsed everything Republican,
from the national platform to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Democrats indorsed the Kan
sas City platform No matter who
presented the resolution, it passedby
a large majority; and the large ma
iority evidently knew what it was do
ing when it voted for the resolution.
There is politics in everything that
depends upon politics and political
parties for success, and this applies
as much to the election of Judges as
it does to constables or two council
men. The man who gets in through
politics and then concludes that it
was only his own greatness that
brought him recognition, soon finds
himself in the morgue for political
corpses.
