MERITS OF THE COAL STRIKE.


It HE NEW YORK SUN, subservient
L now, as always. to the interests
OF capital and monopolies as opposed
10 labor. has a petty and unjustihable
fling in a recent issue against the Penn
syivania coal miners who are trying
TO enforce by a strike their demand for
shorter hours and living wages. Says
the sun: "As result Of the anthra-
cite strike every man who burns coal
must pay more for it. That, however.
IS not the whole story. In the many
places where coal has been bought and
sold hitherto nothing viii be paid for it,
because there win be no sale. Industry
must stop altogether. because Of fnabf-
fly to pay the new price Of coal, or be-
cause there is no demand for manu-
facture.
The hardship wrought by the higher
price Of beef is luxury compared to the
effect Of the anthracite strike. Yet
and here is the meat Of the Sua's edi-
torial statement-''we observe nowhere
in quarters recently so excited in de
handing the prosecution Of the alleged
beef trust a demand for the prosecu-
ton OF the miners union, the direct
cause Of the increase in the price Of
coal While one party is regarded as
flesh the other party seems to be re-
garded as fowl"
There Is absolutely no justification

ENCOURAGEMENT OF sUReLIHe.

rs A HIGHLY CIVILIZED commu-
4 nifty it is decidedly out Of the ordi-
nary for a gentleman to be Rugged by
a lady. unless he has offered her con-
siderable announcement. Usually the
hugging is all the other way. Even
less often does it happen that the hug
gee. when of the male persuasion, OBJ
jects strenuously to the operation. Nor
does it often happen that the woman
in the case hugs, not from a desire to
confer pleasure upon the recipient, but
from sense Of duty. Nevertheless
all this has happened in salt Lake re-
Gently. on Tuesday night, to be exact.
Two women were sitting alone in a
west side residence when a rafting
sound was heard at an outside door.
Presently the door was opened and
John Foster. burglar made his appear
ance John was considerably more
surprised than the women Before he
could raise hand in his own defense
he was being Rugged profoundly and
strenuously. in spite of vehement OBJ
jections on his part. The hugging con-
tinued. to an accompaniment of
screams from all parties, until help
arrived.
Now Foster is meditating in a dun
geon cell and the entire neighbOrhOod
is rising to do honor to the plucky wo-
men who captured him. They are real
heroines. but their performance is
likely. without fault on their part, to
encourage the art of burgling. Many
end many a man would cheerfully turn
burglar for a few minutes if he was
certain he was going to be Rugged. IN
comparison with the joys of the mo-
ment the prison cell would hold no
terrors for such adventurous individ-
uals The Herald win withhold the
commentator the west side women so
thoroughly deserve until it sees that
its fears of an epidemic Of burgling are
not justified.

Willy wv TING FANG.


As TRUTHFUL JAMES so sapiently
II remarked;
For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain.
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
That willy Oriental diplomat. the es-
termed Wu Ting Fang, representative
Of his serene majesty. the Chinese en-
peror, az Washington, is the latest
conspicuous example of the wisdom of
the saving of Truthful James. From
Pekin comes the report that WI has
imPlored the powers who rule the
Celestial kingdom to recall him. He
declares that be car. no longer serve
his native land here with the distinc-
ton 10 which he considers it entitled.
AS a reason therefor. he says that his
wildly energetic efforts to circumvent
the extension of the Geary exclusion
act have rendered him extremely un-
popular in this country.
From the. remarks. of the astute W.
his great and good friend, the emperor
must imagine that every time he goes
OUT on a Washington street he is pur-
sued by an excited mob. The emperor
and the empress dowager may have
been convinced by WI that gangs Of
Americans. loyal to the core, are wait
ing for a favorable opportunity to blow
up the Chinese legation building and
scatter the Oriental flesh therein to the
four corners of the earth. All Of us will
watch with considerable curiosity to see
If Wus little ruse is successful.
AS matter Of fact. he should not be
able to deceive anybody. It is apparent
that he is trying to excuse himself for
not possessing influence enough to pre-
vent the re-enactment of the Geary
law. He did work hard. There is no
question about that, but he didn't have
any more weight with the legislators
than did the time honored gnat that
rested on the horn Of a bull WI
needn't worry a minute about the dan
ger to himself in this country.
He isnt important enough to be
taken seriously for a minute by con-
gress or the people. II he should be
taken at his word and recalled. the
chances are that he'd be the most sur
prised and disappointed Chinaman who
ever went out OF China And. further.
If he is recalled. he needn't imagine
that this country will tip up even a
little bit by reason of his departure
for the other side.

for parslleling The meat trust and the
miners union. The first is a corpor-
alton Of practically unlimited wealth
and power. 1t sought to add to the
money in its already overlooking Golfers
by levying tribute on the people Of the
land. The combination was an I'M
lawful one, its purpose was criminal.
No writer has been rash enough to say
that the men composing the meat trust
were in need. On the contrary, they
fare sumptuously every day.
Now look at the other picture. In the
anthracite coal region men have been
working eleven and twelve hours a day
underground. They have been en-
ployed on an average Of not more than
100 days a year, and they have earned
something ike $3.50 with which to keep
themselves and their families for
twelve months. What do they want?
They ask for shorter hours and more
pay. In view Of all the circumstances.
their demand is not unreasonable.
It has been estimated that one-hfth
Of the advance in the selling price of
coal arranged between April and Sep
TENDER of last year would have met
every dollar Of the expense incident
TO giving the miners what they are now
striking for. SO sure were they of the
justice of their claim that they were
willing, nay, anxious, to submit their
claims to the recently organized ma
tional board Of arbitration. They agreed
to abide by the decision of that board
no matter what it might be.
Very recent history tells us that the
mine operators refused point blank to
arbitrate- Chairman Hanna of the ar
bitration board tried his best, IL reports
are correct, to argue them into making
some small concessions which might
have averted the strike. StnI the oper-
ators stubbornly refused to be inter-
fered with. Does that look as if they
thought their cause was just? Is it
astonishing that the sympathy of
large majority of the American people
is on the side of the strikers?

FOR A cLEANLY CITY.
II 90 saIt - Herald:

To The salt Lake Herald:
The occasional comments of the vari-
Gus papers regarding the spread of dis
ease in Salt Lake would lead one to be-
lieve that something would be done to
prevent the increase Of contagious dis
ease. If the authorities really desire to
do something, they can, first of all,
close the public schools, and compel
the street car companies to fumigate
the street ears at the end Of every trip.
or at least every day, as 1t is well
known that street cars are one Of the
principal spreaders Of sickness. How
about compelling people to connect with
sewers where they exist, and preventing
the building and using of any more
cesspOOis2 CesspOols are a prehistoric
nuisance that have been discarded
long since by all enlightened cOmmuni-
ties
It seems as If the residents of Salt
Lake would rather pay a tribute in
doctor bills, medicine and lives OF their
infants than to pay a few dollars for

AeALLANT BUFFALoNIAN.

T HE HERALD desires to add to the
long roster Of american heroes the
name of John Henry waggoner of the
city of Buffalo. state of New York. Mr..
Waggoner has recently been married.
That in itself, is prima facie evidence
of his bravery, but it isn't all There
is a story in connection with his nup-
tials which viii cause many a stout
heart to throb with horror, many
face to blench. many a hand to trem-
bic, many a man to drink The story
which comes out of Buffalo runs like
this:
Mr.. WaggOner's bride was Miss Alice
Fidelia Tower, age not given. Alice
Fidelia is one OF the women who be-
lieve that the "horrid' men have no
rights which the fair sex is bound to
respect. When she marched to the altar
with John Henry she refused to allow
the ceremony to begin until she had
read some typewriter remarks pro-
testing against the slavery Of woman.
For fifteen mortal minutes Alice
Fidelia held up the ceremony and the
large audience, the preacher and the
groom-elect had to wait When the
ceremony was about to start again she
interrupted to say that the word
obey must be left out Of it.
The word was stricken. Prior to the
wedding Alice Fidelia made the un-
fortunate John Henry sign a contract
protecting her under every possible
emergency as against her husband
Among other things, in ease she is in
jured. it is provided that she shall re-
ceive the compensation that might 9th
erwise go to her husband for the loss
Of her services. Mrs. Waggoner re-
fused TO give out any description of
her wedding gown or to have any re-
freshments after the binding words
had been said. on the theory that wo-
men should think about other things
than eating and dressing.
If John Henry hasn't a warm time
ahead of him there is nothing in in
dications. Alice Fidelia is going to
run that house or know the reason
why. Therefore The Herald thinks
John Henry is entitled to a high place
on the roster Of immortals. He didn't
go into the mess blind; he knew ex-
actly what was coming. The brave
man is described as one who, knowing
a danger, resolutely overcomes the
physical desire in every heart to stay
away from it.
It is to be hoped that he viii not
be called upon to suffer long. All lovers
Of the brave viii join in hoping that
he will soon be able to sing Alice.
Where Art Thou" without an echo
from Alice herself.

The Herald respectfully suggests that
there is one almost certain method for
Councilman Robertson and Mayor
Thompson to have their way in city ar
fairs. Let Robertson oppose every
measure he really favors, and favor
every measure he opposes at heart,
and see if things won't begin coming
his way. Let the mayor approve
everything he really disapproves and
it's a sure thing the council will begin
reconsidering. right away. These sug-
gestions are made by The Herald with
out charge and merely for the love it
bears to both Mayor Thompson and
the councilman from the "Fift."

Sheep owners whose hocks range
through Strawberry valley and on the
edge Of the Uintah reservation have
suffered severe losses by reason Of the
May storms in that region. but later
advices indicate that the disaster to
the industry is not so serious as was
at first feared. It is to be hoped that
none of the fockmasters has sustained
irreparable injury. The first news Of
the storm and the fatalities among
sheep came to The Herald from its art
list. Mr.. A L. LOvey, who spent his
summer vacation in a four days bliz-
zard in the Strawberry valley. Mr..
Lovey telephoned the news from Heber
City, the first available point after he
left the valley.

(By William Ernest Henley.)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole TO pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not WINGED nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeOnings of chance
Ny head is bloody, but UnbOwed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade
And yet the menace Of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid
tt matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the
scroll,
I am the master of my fate;

AmHScmcHtS.


a little man with long. bushy hair,
quite gray, framing a sober counte-
nance Of Spanish cast, walks out onto
the stage and bows stifiy to his ex-
pectant audience just once-that is the
nrst glimpse Of Jonas, the pianist
He sits down at the instrument on a
low, STRAIGHTFORWARD parlOr chair and
begins to play. In a half-dozen meas
ures he impresses his wonderful genius
upon you. wherein he is a novelty. As
a usual thing, the virtuoso grows upon
his audience. From the moment he
appears he holds his auditors en-
thralled. He affects none of those dis
tressing mannerisms that are so dis
tinctive feature Of a Paderewski per-
Torrance. Consequently sane people
admire him and the ladies do not grow
hysterical.
Jonas. thanks to the efforts Of his
former pupil. J. J. Mcclellan. played a
recital at the Theatre last night before
a large and brilliant audience, largely
composed Of Salt Lakes musicians. To
the latter it was an evening of earthly
paradise. To the layman it was a mar
velOus performance and to the strug-
Cling pupil it was encouragement, or
hope-discouraging if the thought car
RED away was of what II requires to
be like him, and hope in the evidence
that such perfection is attainable.
The programme was one of the most
popular ever played here. 1t opened
with some Schumann variations, in
which the performers marvellous pow
ers of technique were exhibited. He
went into Chopin. who wrote for all
moods. The familiar waltz in c sharp
minor was given an entirely new in
depreciation. 1t was like a breath
from summer skies. The A fiat Pol
Onaise was eXqUisitely rendered. The
exactness with which Jonas carried the
left hand staccato movement excited
the supremest admiration. 'Isolde's
Death of Love, probably the most re
alistic" composition in existence, lit
orally drew people out Of their seats.
The gems were so numerous, in fact,
that TO say half the deserving things
of the Jonas recital would scarcely be
possible. The whole may be summed
up in the statement that it was a
grand event, appreciated to the full
est.
Jonas used the $4,000 Steinway re-

sewers and other sanitary measures.
The village is full of courts behind
other houses in which there are cess
pools galore, and many Of which are
IN bad condition. and some Of which
are so full that they overflow daily.

council really desire TO do anything

President Roosevelt has been talking

KING REVIEWED INDIAN TROOPS
Prince Of Wales Presented Medals t

London, Aug. 1.-THE Indian coro-
nation troops to the nuRber OF 1900
were reviewed by King Edward at
Buckingham palace yesterday after
noon. The Prince Of Wales presented
medals to the men, who are all picked
troops, including Lord Curzon's body
guard The Princess Victoria and
other royal persons took snapshot
pictures while the ceremony was in
progress. Queen Alexandria and
many notables were present. The
king wore a sword that cost $4,000
which was presented to him yesterday
by the Maharajah of Jaipur.
The great lawn below the terrace
was a marvellous sight in red, yellow,
green and blue. The Bengalese
Sikhs, Gurkhas and Punjab cavalry
made a strong contrast to a single
Khaki spot where the British regulars
from India stood At the word OF
command fiuttering lances, rifles and
carbines were grounded and the con-
tingents one by one filed past the
royal canopy, saluting their majesties
and receiving medals at the hands OF
the Prince of Wales.
