An extraordinary hand-shake is be-
ing discussed in Wall street, and the
assertion has been made in several
quarters that it means something. The
parties to it were Jacob H. Schiff of
the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.. and Clement A. Griscom of the
International Navigation Company.
About year ago these gentlemen were
on opposite sides in the great North
ern Pacific fight. The other day as
Mr. Sehif was coming out of Mr..
Pierpont Morgans office he met Mr..
Griscom, who was going in. They were
on the steps. Grasping hands, they
stood and pump handled for seven min
utes and half by the clock in Trim
ity church steeple, meanwhile talking
earnestly. Now. Mr.. Morgan's Office
steps are very near the hub around
which Wall street revolves, hence hun
dreds of bankers, brokers and others
saw Mr.. Schiff and Mr.. Griscom in
their long hand-shake. and each in
dividual of the hundreds wondered
what it was all about.

DOES HENDERSON REGRET HIS
ACTION.

Ex-Gov. Horace Boies, who is the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
Speaker Henderson's district, is quot
ed as saying that he thinks that Mr.
Henderson already regrets his action
in declining a denomination to Con-
gress Gov. Boies does not say why he
thinks so. but the presumption is that
he thinks so because Mr.. Henderson's
action has been a distinct help to the
Democrats in all parts of the West. 1t
shows for one thing that the Republic
cans are divided on the question of
tariff revision. and for another that
they are very uneasy concerning the
effect that question is going to have on
the congressional elections and on the
presidential election in 1904
Gov. Boies wanted Mr.. Henderson to
accept a denomination. for the reason
that there would have been then
square issue between high protection
and tariff revision. 1t is by no means
certain now that any such issue can be
made in Mr. Henderson's district Fol-
lowing the idea set forth in the plat
form of the Republicans of Iowa
man may be nominated for Congress
in that district who favors tariff
revision in cases where the tariff shell
tiers monopolistic trusts.
Gov. Boies is satisfied that at
least in Iowa, there is such a strong
sentiment in favor of tariff revision he
could have defeated Mr.. Henderson,
though at the last election Mr.. Hen
derson's majority was about 1900. II
Gov. Boies is right in this view the
Republican leaders have good reason
for uneasiness. because, if the tariff re-
vision sentiment is so strong in Iowa
it must be strong in other Western
states.
The idea has been thrown out that
Mr.. Henderson was in fact afraid that
if he accepted a denomination he would
be beaten, and it may have some foun-
dalton. Nobody knows his district bet
ter than he does and he may have be-
come satisfied that if he wanted to re-
tire to private life while on the top
wave of success the thing for him to
do was to decline a denomination.

THE COAL STRIKE AND THE
PEOPLE

Neither the coal operators nor the
miners have considered the rights and
interests of the people in their battle
for mastery in the anthracite coal
fields. And the people have submit
ted to the steady rise in the price of
coal without protest or much grum-
bling. AS a matter of fact, however,
comparatively little coal has been re-
quired to satisfy the demand thus far
since the strike began, but from now
until summer comes again the demand
will be very great.
AT last accounts coal was command
ing SIS ton in New York city. 1t
cannot remain at that price long with
out bringing protests from the poorer
classes of people that will have to be
listened to. The very poor people can
not afford to pay that price for fuel,
and even people in moderate circum-
stances will find such a price a severe
tax on their purses. There will have
to be great economies in other direc-
tons in many homes in the cities in
order to get sufficient fuel for cook
ing purposes, and there are families
hundreds, perhaps thousands of them
who will know how comfortless a
house without fire is in cold weather,
If the strike continues much longer.
Evidently the coal operators see that
this condition of affairs is going to re-
suit in a strong pressure upon them
in favor of making concessions and
settling the strike, and so they are
saying that the strike will end soon;
that more miners are going to work
every day, and that it will not be
long before the output of the mines
will reach the normal amount.
1t may be that a few miners have
gone to work, but. as far as the read
ing public can see, the strikers are
just as firm in the position they have
taken as they were weeks ago. The
only sign that they are weakening is
the increase in the violence at mines
which have been put in operation. But
If the strike should end tomorrow
there would be a scarcity of coal for
the greater part of the winter. There
is no accumulated stock, and it is
doubtful If coal could be mined as fast
as it is needed at this season of the
year. The poor of the cities, therefore,
are, after all, the chief sufferers from
the strike.

their noms de plume from strange

a DEFEAT FoR PLATT.

| On the surface it looks as If Senator
Plat, the Republican boss of New
York, suffered a notable defeat at the
Republican convention OF that state
| yesterday. 1t has been understood all
| along that Gov. Odell would be re-
nominated, but there has been consid-
cradle speculation in regard to the
nominee for the second place on the
ticket. George r. Sheldon was can
didate for the place. and it was known
that he was a warm friend of Gov.
Odell and a favorite of Senator Platt.
| Only lately, however, ii came TO be un-
derstood that Senator Plat had prom
issd the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor TO him. Then there was a
storm of protests. principally from the
friends of Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff.
Even after the delegates had assem-
bled at Saratoga Senator Plat insist
ed that Mr.. Sheldon should be nomi-
mated. Then Gov. Odel went 10 Sara
toga and told Senator Platt that Mt.
Sheldon would have to stand aside. So
it seems. as far as the public can IN
derstand the situation Boss Plat is
not the boss of his party in New York
all of the time.
Gov. OdelI was afraid of the trust
record of Mr.. Sheldon. From all ac-
counts Mr.. Sheldon is worth about S5.-
100000, made principally in promoting
trusts. If he had been put on the tick
ct he would have been the subject of so
many cartoons of the antitrust char
acter that, in all probability. the Re
publican ticket would have been over
whelmingly defeated.
The trust plank in the platform
which was adopted at Saratoga yes
terday makes interesting reading 1t
is a shining example of saying abso-
lutely nothing on the most important
question before the country. 1t COM
mits the party to no line of action
against trusts. It simply says that
the Republican party will support such
legislation as will prevent the organi-
cation of illegal combinations. 1t dis
tinctly announces. however, that the
Republican party is against striking
the trusts through the tariff. The tar
IN, il says, is absolutely necessary to
the comfort and well-being of Ameri-
can workmen. The workmen, and not
the trust magnates, are the chief bene-
ficiaries of the high protective tariff,
says this model platform of the New
York Republicans, and yet it fails to
explain how it is that the magnate is
rolling in wealth and the workman
finds it difficult to get the necessaries
OF life. Is it not about time that
American workmen discovered that
they are being fooled by the Republi-
can party in the matter of the tariff?

An item of interest to women teach
ers: II You cannot manage the big,
unruly boy of the school, marry him.
That is what Miss Anna Wells of the
Rochester, N. Y, high school did.
Charles Salvatore Vella, the big boy
in the case, was holy terror to teach
ers. When he entered Miss Wells
class it was predicted that she would
have trouble with him. And, really,
he started out to make things lively
for the teacher, in which he was only
temporarily successful, since they were
married last week. They left the
school together, and Mrs. VeIla says
she is the happiest woman in the
world.
