well known fact that President Roose-
Welt in the most positive terms gave
instructions to federal office holders
In Illinois to keep hands off the state
campaign in that state. He has also
affirmed repeatedly the general propos-
ition, concerning which we do not
agree with him, that federal office
holders ought not to take u hand in
politics while in official position. That
being true, 1t Is manifestly unfair to
the national administration and dis
respectful to its executive head to have
a whole ,cohort of federal office holders
in Pennsylvania busying themselves in
trying-fortunately without much ef-
fect--to prevent the nomination for
governor of the enthusiastic choice of
an overwhelming majority of the Re-
publican people.
The president must be ignorant of
this or he would stop 1t. What If he
should catch on to the game and un-
sheathe his keen-edged snickernee?

Advice to the Operators.
From the New York Times.


1t would not appear to be good policy on ths
part OF the anthracite operators to manifest too
much eagerness to avail themselves OF the will.
ingness of part of the niindrs now idle to resume
work, disregarding the strike order OF the Halle.
ton convention The existence OF strong minor.
ity OF dissatisfied miners, who fail to recognize
the existence OF any issues OF sufficient import
ance to warrant the action which has closed the
collieries, is as well known to the union leaders
as TO the operators, and within few days will
probably cause the strike to show evidence Of
crumblipg. A suspension OF a week or two will
do no harm and cause very little hardship among
the miners. During that time what little en-
thusiasm now exists in favor OF strike will
have eyaporated and it, as now seems probable,
the bituminous miners decline to engage in a
sympathetic strike, the hopeessness OF the strug.
gle which has SO slender pretext will become
apparent.
Meanwhile, to start up a mine here and an
other there under strong police protection, would
furnish an excuse for violence and probably lead
to loss OF life and the destruction OF property
It might be Just what is needed to solidify the
union membership and make the strike fight

OF anthracite in sight. and ON its present basis
the strike is not likely to last thirty days, and
perhaps not ten 1t lacks the characteristics OF q
great revolt against oppression or for the estab
lishment OF q principle. The real issue is the
fear OF the union leaders that unless they do
something they will lose prestige and influence
with the more turbulent element Of their follow.

Candid Comment
Rbodt The Strike
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
" HE CAUSES for declaring the coal strike
| 1 were so insufficient, when set over against

the moment when the die cast, the
| general belief of the most competent OBJ
| servers was that such action was altogether inn
| probable. A dispatch frcm Wilkes.Barrc, May II,
| estimates the loss to miners for the first six days
of stoppage at $l,l30526 in wages surrendered.
This is terrible price to pay for one weeks
demonstration Of the power Of the union
against the advice OF its most responsible leader
ship and against the judgment OF large proper

OF anthracite mining and carrying, TO throw hum
dreds OF thousands Of men out of employment, to
| create distress in all related industries and to
threaten the safety of life and property at the
hands of idle men laboring under sense OF
injury.
The strike was so nopportunc that there 10
hardly doubt it was as much OF surprise to
| the operators as to the general public There 10
well'grounded belief that the great carrying
and mining companies preferred an instant con.
fic, ii there was to be one. Otherwise. it is in
conceivable that in the irresolute and waiting
attitude of the miners union representative en-
ploycrs should not have been willing, after the
practical recognition involved in conference, to
go step further and make come slight con-
cesson TO nsistcnt demand.
Between the operators and the miners there has
been exhibited what must be esteemed wanton
indifference TO the welfare of coal consumers in
particular and to the public welfare in general.
The situation OF standstill and showing of teeth
in the mining region and the resulting suffering.
dislocation and business collapse elsewhere, can
not be patiently endured. For evils Of such mag
nitudc and Of such frequency If there be 10
remedy growing out of an enlightened self.inter-
est or out of the pressure of conciatory and
fair but insistent public opinion. there must he
some swifter reprcssiye power put at the ccm-
mand of the state. The cost Of lockouts and
strikes to the combatants might be patiently en-
dured: but the cost to the community at large
is so heavy, so exasperating and so hardly borne
that Icing suiferance takes the color Of weakness.

ANADA, 1t is announced by the
bureau of statistics, continues
~ to increase her purchases from
the United States, despite the
tariff advantages accorded Great Brit
ain in the fiscal system of that coun-
try. During the nine months of the
present fiscal year for which details
are available. British North America
showed n larger increase in its pur-
chascs from the United States than
any other political division of America,
as compared with those of the corre-
spending periods of 1900 and 1901. Our
total exports to British North America
increased from $50, ,7G3,595 in the nine
months Of 1900. and S77,S9l,13S in the
same period of 1901 to $S0,999,004 in the
corresponding months of the current
year. To Mexico the increase during
the same period compared with that of
last year was but two million dollars
and to the West Indies one million
dollars, while the Central American
states showed decrease of about $780,
600 and South America about $4,000,000
in their purchases from the United
States during the nine months of the
present fiscal year as compared with
the same period of the preceding year.
The continued growth in our COM
merce with Canada Is the more remark
able when 1t is remembered that ever
since April, 1897, the United Kingdom
has enjoyed tariff advantages in the
nrlsn In Il,
her favor having ranged from 12la per
cent. in that year to 33 Ia per cent,
from and after July !, 1900. Yet the
exports from the United States to Brit
ish North America have increased year
by year, and our total exports to that
market in the nine months under re-
view are $l1,235, 400, or 16 per cent, in
excess of those for the same period of
1900, and 3,104, S66, or per cent, in en-
cess of those of the corresponding
months of last year. A comparison OF
our exports to Canada in the first nine
months of the present fiscal year with
those of the corresponding months i'm
mediately preceding the reduction in
the Canadian tariff i'm favor ofNGreat
Britain shows that our exports to Cam
ada meantime have increased about 75
per cent, being for the earlier period
s46,752,95S, and for the nine months
ending with March, 1902. sS0,999.OO4.
There can be little doubt in the mind
Of any man who will give the matter
careful consideration that this great
and growing trade with Canada would
increase at an immensely accelerated
pace II the United States had reciproc-
ity with Canada.

wAYSIDE NOTES.

I have good sized grudge against a certain

his locomotive has a whistle which for nerve.

law requires engineers when approaching cross
ings to give two short blasts, followed by two
quick puffs. Docs this engineer observe the law2
No, he gives instead four long cresccndo and

two moro for good measure. When we remember
that there are sx or eleven crossings between
Olyphant and Lackawanna avenue, 1t Is evident
that he must keep his hand on tho whistle lever
most OF the time instead OF on the throttle where
1t normally belongs, and how he does rend the
echoes! Unless he mends his ways people along
the line who have nerves may have to leave town.

MOVING DAY.

An Irishman who lived in New York city had a
cousin who had just come over from Europe and
settled in the country around White Plains. The
last time Mike had visited his cousin and the lat
ter's wife he told them to come up to New York
to see him on certain day. If he did not meet
them at the station they were to go directly to
his house, at AIS Avenue A. On the appointed
day Mike did not appear, so the pair decided to
find him. As they were standing on the corner
OF "Avenue A." and as luck would have it the
number OF the car was 47s.

foreign observers and to the
Il disappointing of many home
critics, the United States to-
day turns over to the people of Cuba
the government of Cuba, to do with 1t,
within certain broad and equitable linn
'ts, as they shall please. 1t is the first
instance OF such action in history. 1t
is another record-breaRing American
pracedent.
What will the Cubans do with their
newly acquired power? The ANSWER. to
this question must be awaited in the
fulness of time. You can hear from
those protesting knowledge of the
Cuban character any kind of predic-
tion that you wish. Opinion, even what
might fairly he called expert opinion,
varies as to this as 1t does as to any
other problem whose solution cannot be
foreseen. The important point, from the
American point of view. is that the
United States, after doing in Cuba a
work os restoration and regeneration
without parallel in thoroughness and
unselfishness, retres from it's humani-
tartan task with clean hands, a clear
conscience and the consolation of know
ing that If the Cubans make failure
of their experiment in self-government
it will not be through lack of being
started Alright.
To this last sentence there is, how
ever, one qualification. The American
and Cuban people alike expect and de-
mand that the trade relations between
the two countries-one the liberator and
the other the dependent and beneficiary
shall be adjusted on basis of mutual
profit and liberality. To this reason
able proposition there is no dissent in
Cuba; the obstructing influences are
wholly within a narrow circle in the
American congress. Cuba begins the
experiment of statehood without Il live
and-lot-liVe market for her chief pro-
duction Her most substantial, inhabi-
tants-the men upOn whose economic
prosperity the whole future of the
Cuban republic depends-are confronted
by situation which, unless speedily
relieved, will mean their financial and
productive ruin. 1t is up to the Ameri-
can congress to say whether they shall
be rescued or submerged. If the inter-
est of the United States in their plight
were humanitarian merely it might
with some color of reason be argued
that we have done enough for Cuba,
and that, having now secured in gift
from us the independence so long
sought, the Cubans should sink or swim
responsive to their own efforts.
Such an argument does not apply to
the present situation for the reason that
reciprocal relations with Cuba are as
necessary for the best welfare of this
country as for that of Cuba. The bar
gain, like all good bargains, is two
sided. We cannot help Cuba without
helping ourselves; and we cannot hurt
Cuba without hurting ourselves. A
higher power than any legislature has
decreed between the great republic and
the gem island of the West Indies n
commercial bond of union which either
