eOvERNoR sroNE ACTS.

akaea
Action has been taken by the gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania looking to the
preservation Of peace and order In the
anthracite coal regions. For this pur.
pose he has ordered out the entire
national guard of the state, which will
be distributed In seven counties, with in
structions to protect all men who desire
to work and their families, also all trains
and other property from unlawful in
reference. 1t is undeniable that there
has been some lawlessness In the an
thracite regions, Notwithstanding the
very earnest efforts of the strike leaders
to prevent it. According to trustworthy
authority there were 1872 violations of
law on the part of striking miners dur
ing September, some of these being
crimes Of the gravest nature. While
all law-respecting citizens must deplore
these occurrences, when the circum-
stances are considered It is rather re-
markable that there have not been more
acts Of lawlessness. There are about
10000 mine workers involved In the
strike, a considerable number of whom
are foreigners who do not speak our
language and many of whom were i'm
ported by, the operators, > probably in
violation sof the. alien contracts law.
Among such a host Of men eigagedyin,
a strife that means SO much to them
selves and their families 1t cannot be
surprising that there should be some
Inclined to lawlessness.
However, the preservation of peace
and order Is desired by all good citizens.
n this The leaders of the anthracite
strikers have earnestly ~endeavored to Sc
cure. That their efforts have not been
wholly unavailing must be admitted and
they have taken further steps for the
maintenance Of peace, fully realizing
now important this is to their cause. 1t
is perhaps true, as stated by Governor
Stone, that the situation grows more
serious day by day and at all events IT
Is well to take all proper and justifabIe
precautions for the prevention of law
This is a duty which the chief
executive of the state is bound to OBJ
serve, being careful that In the exercise
OF the military there is no partiaIity |
and no injustice done to either
side.
1t Is possible that this action of Gov
ernor Stone will expedite a settlement
OF the strike or enable the operators to
the production of coal. 1t has
all along been claimed by the operators
That If men willing to work were given
protection mining could speedily be re-
sumed. The strike leaders, on the con-
traty, assert nat there is no consider
able number Of the men who are dis
posed to return to work under existing

The feeling of resentment against the
has become well-nigh uni
1ersai and there is a very strong demand

upon the arbitrary, arrogant
and defiant anthracite coal combine

hat If there is an outlaw corporation On
he face OF the earth it is the anthracite

opinion. 1t Is believed to be violating
he constitution Of Pennsylvania and
Iovernor Stone will not have performed
lis whole duty until he shall have taken
teps to determine whether or not this
S the case.

The Board Of Lady Managers Of the ST.

desire that there be no indecent dances
In the Midway or improper exhibitions at
the exposition and that the ofhcers OF the
exposition use every influence toward elimi-
mating such Objectionable features" The
fair should be kept decent. Its managers
should have originality enough to get away
from the Midway" idea altogether; and it's
board OF lady managers should have
seized the opportunity to add to, the dignity
OF their association by calling themselves

The tariff question In Germany is In dis
puse between the government and the
sgrarisns, but the latter are likely to have
their way. The tariff commission, com
posed mainly Of agrarians. has prepared a
schedule Of duties which advances rates
considerably beyond the government recon-
mendations. This advance is objected to
by the government on the ground that Il
would interfere with the proposed COM
mercial treaties, but the opinion seems TO
prevail that the government win not carry
out its threat of defeating the increased
rates proposed by the asrarisns.
J. F. Monaghan, the United States consul
at ChemnitE. has sent to the State depart
ment a table showing the rates under the
existing law, those recommended by the
government and those determined upon by
the tariff commission. A few Illustrations

GAS FACTORIES In People Who Do Not Know How to Select Food and Drink Properly.

On the coffee question lady says. T used to be so miserable after breakfast that I did not know how to get through the day. Life was a burden to me. When I tried to sleep I was miserable by hav- ing horrible dreams followed by hours of Wakefuiness. Gas would rise on my stomach and I would belch almost con- t.nually. Then every few weeks I would have long siege Of sick headaches. I tried a list of medicines and physicians without benefit.
 Finally I concluded to give up my cof- fee and tea altogether and use Postum Coffee. The first cup was q failure. It was wishy-w -washy and I offered to give the remainder of the package to anyone who would take it.
 I noticed later on in one of the ad- vertisements t.at Postum should be boiled at least 15 minutes to make 1t good. I asked the cook how she made 1t and she said Just the same as did tea, being careful not to let 1t steep too long
 read the directions and concluded Postum had not had fair trial, so we made a new lot and boiled 1t 16 or 20 minutes. That time 1t came to the table a different beverage and was so delicious that we have been using 1t ever since.
 My sick headaches left entirely as did my sleepless nights, and I am now different woman" Name given by Pos tum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
