The Coal Commissions Task.

John Mitchell expects the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the coal strike to be
ready to report in months time An
early report Is to be desired and will serve
a good purpose.
Four weeks of work will bring the miners
to a comfortable state of Lying again. and
put good taste in their mouths. The con-
trast will be sharp between employment
and independence, and idleness and union
charity They will be in a frame of mind to
receive a statement bearing upon the coal
mining industry, and TO make such conces-
sions as so well accredited authority
may recommend. They will not be expect
ing to have everything their own way.
The mine operators also. We may believe,
will be in more amiable and business-like
mood then than they have recently exhib-
tied -Four weeks of work will tell on their
spirits for the better. The sound of the
whistle in the morning, the click of the pick
all day, and the rattle of loaded cars start
ing in long trains for market. will be agree
able music to their ears. They, like the
miners. will be likely to give the report of
the commission most respectful cOnsidera-
ton, and to bow to the conclusions reached
with something like a good grace. They
may profit by the report indeed, in more
OF their own industry by commission COM
posed this one Is may give them pointers
not only to the questions in dispute be-
tween themselves and their employees, but as
to larger questions.
In addition to these influences, may we
not hope for good results from the mere
cessation of hostilities after so protracted a
period of bad feeling and bitter recrimna-
tons? A strike is prolific producer of bile
and anger. Neither side carries itself with
moderation. Each side is capable of doing
the other an injustice, and both sides, to
some extent indulge in that sort of thing.
But a truce Is now in operation. With the
blood cool and the eye little clearer each
side may be able to see that the other is not
as black as 1t has so recently asked the
public to believe. The anarchist" may
shade off into a laborer who simply wanted
what he thought coming to him and
went in rather an excited way about get
ting II, and the ''merciless bloodsucker''
may shade of into a watchful business man
who wanted good profits on his investment
and was little slow and hard about listen
ing TO complaints
Anyhow. the war is over, and peace pre-
walls. For that much we may all be thank
full. And may peace continue. with good
wages for the miners, good profits for their
employers, and abundant coal for the public

Mr.. Cleveland in the Campaign.

The democrats are undoubtedly getting to-
gether, Item: Grover Cleveland is in COM
muncation with Tammany Hall.
Mr.. Cleveland has never been fond of
Tammany. nor Tammany of him. Tammany
opposed his nomination in 1884, sullenly &C
quiesced in 1t in 1883, and vigorously OPP
posed it again in 1892. But, after defeat in
convention, Tammany went to work for
the nominee, and on two of the three occa-
sions rolled up a big vote for him. This
however was business and was so I'M
derstood by both parties. Tammany did
not dare carry its protest as far as the
polls. 1t felt obliged to be regular. 1t
could vote for Mr.. Cleveland as the party S
standard bearer without acquiring any af-
lection for the man. and he could accept
its support without changing his views as to
the character of the organization.
Since 1896 Mr.. Cleveland and Tammany
have been far apart. Tammany, feeling the
necessity of regularity, has supported Mr.
Bryan Mr.. Cleveland has taken the liberty
of opposing him. The result has been that
in democratic circles-in Bryan circles
Tammany has been Endorsed and Mr.. Cleve-
land condemned. Great is Tammany and
Croker is Its prophet" exclaimed Mr.. Bryan
on one occasion. On several other occasions
Mr.. Bryan has said, Grover Cleveland is
no better than republican, and should go
over to that party
But time has brought its changes, and
that pleasant thing of brethren dwelling to-
gether in unity Is on view. Grover Cleve-
land. David B. Hill, and Charles F. Murphy,
the leaders Of Tammany Hall. are working
together in support OF the same candidate
Il might not be safe to say that they are
working together to the same end. Mr.
Hills support of Mr.. Coler has a consider
able relation to the Hill boom for President
and there Is a strong suspicion that Mr.
Cleveland's activity Is inspired by consider
atoms personal to himself But, for the
moment, here they are, pulling together in
the same leather, and making a strong
team. The coal plank in the New York
platform does not disturb Mr.. Cleveland
any more than it did Mr. Coler, who pleas
antly rejected 1t.
Can this combination carry New York?
1. represents all factions of the local de-
mocracy, and it Is an old claim Of that
party that when united 1t Is invincible In
the empire state. If success is achieved the
democracy throughout the east will be
greatly strengthened. If, on the other hand
the republicans win, something more than a
union Of democratic factions will be neces-
sary II that party Is to enter the field two
years hence with the hope of electing the
next President.

Coin to work seems kind O. rough;

That life was loafin' the whole year through

But scares you before you've had sIee1

But after the mills shut down awhile
An the neighbors kind O. forget to smile.

An ne takes his tools an he gets in line

through the Twat and the French pioneers
naturally concluded that where caravans
have travelled for many generations a~rall-

was his reception would have been diff

real humorist above all men. The
Judge was born and bred in the Shen-

thence to California, where he became
chief justice of the state, and, seeking
in 1868 to revisit his childhoods home,
came on to Washington and applied
first to Justice Field, then TO Halleck,
both of whom he well knew, to gain
the needed permission; but, being cir
cumvented by Stanton, he, conveyed by
Justice Field, sought the aid of the
president, who asked if he had seen
Stanton. Yes, he had and had been
contemptuously turned down. "Then,"
said Lincoln. 81 can't help you, for I've

He was accustomed to narrate this
experience while he was in congress:
Upon an occasion of tellers being
somehow ordered on an unimportant
matter a pudgy, bibulous member
started in zigZag, bacchanallan gait
from the rear Of the house down the
center aisle, making strenuous efforts
to keep his head in line, ''as if he had
a drop of sweat on the end of his nose
which he was afraid would drop off"
to use Lincoln's own words. The sight
was so ludicrous that the general at
tention was fixed on this staggering
devotee of Bacchus, and no member
attempted to follow, but when he
reached the tellers he, suspecting
something to be wrong, carefully turn
ing his head and realizing the comic
situation, but which was not so COM
ical to him, said, ooh, hip and with
drunken gravity staggered back to his
seat, the house roaring with glee.
