TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. q, 1902

THE MINERS in their convention at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, today, manifested
their good sense by unanimously follow
inc their leaders advice and formally
accepting the proposition offered OF set
Ting their grievances by arbitration, as
agreed to last week by the operators and
flr. Mitchell. This was the proper
course. They have remained loyal TO
their leader all these months; and 1t
would have been folly for them to have
deserted him now. There was small
minority of delegates, most Of whom had
probably been selected by boys, many OF
whom are among the miners, who were
obdurate, especially when they realized
that they had come out second-best IN
the conflict, but they soon ceased their
opposition. They, like many Others one
meets in all walks of life, have much
vet to learn. If they failed to obtain
all for which they contended, it is by no
means the first instance on record where
people have fallen far short of their aims
in much mightier conflicts and strug-
cles far more extended. The wiser classes
of the country will feel more like prais-
ing the miners for the course they pur-
sued today than in painting the mlscar-
rage of their plans, and there is every
reason TO believe the operators will soon
have all their former employees back at
work. No matter what former estimates
ofMr. Mitchell may have been, fair-mInd-
ed people who read his speech before the
convention Yesterday must have been
IMPRESSED with its good sense and con-
seryatism Gin marked contrast with his
letter TO the President), and his earnest
appeals to the miners to accept the
terms of the compromise offered, IN the
face of the determined opposition he
was sure to meet from some, proved
conclusively that he was ready to waive
what he and many of his followers re-
garded As sacred in the interests OF
peace The miners are possibly as
easily entreated as other men; but when
oficious people harangne them and
demagogues make hobbies of the issues
which occasionally arise between them
and their employers, of course bad feel
inc and trouble follow These tollers In
the bowels of the earth have much with
which to contend; their occupation is
both laborious and dangerous; their
services are appreciated, as they should
be: and now that bad feeling is subsid-
ing and better relations are being
brought about between workman and
capitalist, let the lessons of this historic
truggle beindelibly impressedupon both
parties to the issue, as well as upon the
millions of people in the United States
who have been witnessing it with so
much concern during the summer and
fall months.

GEN. FITZ. LEE AND SENATOR MAR
TIN.-After years of arrangement Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, former consul general to
Cuba, and Thomas S. Martin, United
States Senator, have become reconciled.
They met entirely by accident during
the horse show in Richmond. Senator
Martin, after a momentary pause, ex-
tended his hand and General Lee took 1t.
Scarce word was said by either man,
but the simple action showed that much
of the bitterness of the past has been
forgotten. A political story is at the
bottom of the trouble which has kept
the two apart. for ten years or more.
After the close of his term as governor
of Virginia General Lee was candidate
for the United States Senate and appar-
emily had a clear field. He was the
choice of nine-tenths of the people, who
instructed their representatives to support
him. Martin was comparatively un-
known and the claim of his friends that
he would defeat the nephew of Robert
L. Lee was laughedat When the votes
were counted on the night Of the election
it was found Martin was the winner by
safe majority. In the bitterness of
defeat, many charges were made and
the most intense feeling shown by the
partisans on either side From that day
to the present Lee and Martin have
never met as friends. The chasm be-
tween them was thought to be one that
could not be bridged, but the event just
passed shows that time has donel the
work.

SECRETARY SHAW has taken the
stump for the subsidy seekers. In his
recent speech at Detroit he openly adj
vocated the ship subsidy scheme and his
argument was that the treasury could
stand the drain. He seems to think the
United States treasury is maintained
solely to supply money to any one who
asks for it. and he has the nerve to sell
intelligent citizens that "the public
revenues come from the rich and well-to-
do" and that % per cent. ofa ship
subsidy would be ''thrown to labor.
Secretary Shaw's discovery that "the
public revenues come from the rich and
prosperous" is rather surprising. The
general Impression has been that the in
direct taxes, such as are collected by the
tariff and the internal revenue system,
are paid by the mass of the people
Under the existing law there is many a
struggling man with wife and children
who paws more taxes than the Wireless
and childless millionaire.

SLEEPING BEAUTY AwAKES.

Miss Dora Meek quarreled with her
sweetheart at Centralia, Ills, on Sun
day, September 2S, and then went To
sleep. She slumbered until Saturday,
October IS, and then regi iued CON
seriousness. Every remedy known to
science was tried in an effort to awaken
her5 and failed.
During the entire time of her sleep
her pulse and respiration were normal.
The pupils Of her eyes retained their
normal condition.
What puzzled the physicians was her
wonderful power of resistance TO the
remedies that usually brought such cases
to an end. Ammonia fumes, ice applied
to her back, smart slappngs, all were
endured without flinching Not once
did she give signs Of knowing what was
being done, yet later developments show
that she was largely conscious of what
went on about her.
As she tells II now, she was conscious
much of the time, but when everything
was quiet her mind would wander. All
of the time she was helpless and unable
tc make a sign.
During her sleep she had many won
derful dreams.
The history of the case goes back sew
eral years. She had an aunt, according
to reports, who was the victim of long
sleep and never fully recovered her men
tai strength. The giIl's father had an
attack of yellow fever in his soldier days,
and his nerves had never recovered en-
tirely.
Two years ago the girl quarreled with
her sweetheart. The next morning she
was found in a wood lying by log, al
most frozen and in sleep similar to the
recent one. Drs. Laswell, of Alma, and
Murfin, ofPatoka, treated her and brought
her out after almost week. This last
time she quarreled with her sweetheart
on the Saturday before she went to
sleep.

Vote Against the Party that Did it.


The Herald has never had any reas-
on for changing its position on the leg
islative gerrymander by which this
senatorial aud representative district
was attached to Denver for legislative
purposes. The Herald denounced the
measure at the time of it's passage as
an outrage upon the voters of these six
counties embraced in the old twenty
fifth senatorial district regardless of
what political Larty might be in pow
er in the district or in the state. No
partisan emergency ever justities such
an unfair treatment of the voters of a
county or legislative district The
voters of these six counties had up to
this gerrymander succeeded in looking
after their representation in the state
legislature in Il manner that was very
satisfactory to themselves even if it
was not satisfactory to Denver polite
ians. By this act the legislature in
formed the voters of these counties
that they were not capable of properly
caring for their legislative interests
for themselves and they must be plac-
ed under the Immediately pure and
wise guardianship of the Denver poll
ticians. When partisanship is carried
TO the extreme that permits such out
RACES upon voters to he perpetrated in
its name, it becomes decidedly nause-
ating to voters who have independence
enough to think and act for them
selves"
The above editorial appeared in the
Holyoke Herald of recent date. The
infamous pcrrymander OF which the
Herald complains was made by the last
fusion legislature, which the Herald
helped to elect. However. Bro.
Painter is TOO fair II man to uphold the
action of his party when he knows it to
be wrong. We commend the course
pursued by the Herald editor aud we
suggest that he go further in his at
tempt to right the wrong perpctrated
by his party-that he use his influence
and his vote to assist in electing re
publican legislature this fall, and thus
make sure that the old order of things
will be restored in this district.
