GOOD NEWS.

There is good news this morning. The long strike is practically ended, the ar bitrating commission has been appoint ed, and the miners will soon be at work. The negotiations which have been going on in Washington came to a peaceful conclusion last night, and all concerned in them are said to be hap py. Now that all the fighters and nego- tiators are satisfied it is to be hoped that most energetic efforts will be made to get coal mined and get it around to those who are waiting for it with money in their hands. It is also to be hoped that measures will be taken to have it sold at a reasonable price. Though the strike is over the suffering caused by it isn't, and care should be taken to make the rest of the suffering as short and mild as possible Perhaps the owners of the coal fields have lost money by the strike, but they shouldn't try to put all the loss on the people just now. The innocent people have had trouble enough for awhile.

THE TYR USTS.

Attorney General Knox is supposed to know as much about trusts and the law concerning them as any man in the country. So his speech on the trust question before the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce is well worth attention, and it is also supposed to indicate the attitude of the administration toward trusts. He makes the situation clearer than anybody else has made it. He thus sets forth the most conspicuous evils of the trusts: "Over-capitaliza-
 ton, lack of publicity of operation, dis criminatlo in prices to destroy compe- tition, insufficient personal responsibii
 ity of officers for corporate manage
 ment tendency to monopoly, and lack of appreciation in their management of
 their relations to the people, for whose
 benefit they are permitted to exist"
 He considers over-capitalization the chief of these evils, and the source from
 which the lesser ones flow. The promo ters and the syndicates take advantage of the speculative tendencies and the
 ignorance of the public to consolidate all or nearly all, the producers of
 given article, then create a demand for shares in this consolidated company,
 put out three or four dollars of stock for each dollar of real capital invested, sell the shares on the market, and begin

COMING DOWN 4 PEG.

We are not feeding the world as much as we were. The exports of breadstuffs in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year were lighter than those of the first three quarters of any of the five previous years. In value they are almost 100000, 900 less than the figures for 1898. With provisions, the exports this year up to September of cattle and hogs were lighter than those recorded for any year in the period from 1897 to 1901, and some $12,500,000 less than the record figures for this period, 1897. In the exports of other provisions the figures for 1902 are less than those for 1S99 1900 or 1901, but more than those for 1897 and 1898. With cotton, measured by bales, the figures for 1902 are greater than those for any of the five previous years with the exception of 1898; the same is also true as regards the pounds of cotton exported. But in value the figures for 1902 were exceeded by those of the two previous years 1900 and 1901. The exports of mineral oils, measured by gallons, were greater than those of any year since 1897, with the exception of 1901, though measured by value both 1900 and 1901 surpass the current year. Combining all these classes of exports, breadstuffs. provi- sions, cotton and mineral oils, the ex- ports up to October i of the current year were less than those recorded in any other year until one gets back to 1897, which showed low figure owing to small exports of cotton and provi- sons.
 This is sad, but if it serves to make us feel little less big than we have been feeling it will be useful to us.

GOOD FROM ANILL WIND.

It's an ill wind that blows no good,
 and one of the good things that will blow out of the great coal strike will be the knowledge which many will
 gain that it is possible to live and have a being without the use of anthracite coal. Hundreds of claims for patents have been filed at the Patent office in Washington on substitutes for fuel. Many of these possess much merit and have already been successfully tried. Some are good enough to continue in popular use, regardless of the settle ment of the strike. As is always the
 case in any great national calamity or
 emergency, hundreds of inventors come to the front with plans for relieving the distress. Now the American housewife
 knows that cheap artificial fuel may be bought at half the cost of coal. and in the future we may look for briquettes of peat and other combustible sub
 stances as staple articles of sale. The introduction of all kinds of gas and oil
 burners is apt to result in the perma- nent use of these utilities in many homes, at least during comparatively mild weather. Much bituminous coal has been sold in the past month and it
 is being burned in places where it was formerly thought nothing but anthra-
 cite would answer.
 If the hard coal men don't sell their
 coal at reasonable price pretty soon
 they will permanently lose much trade.
 They have already permanently lost
 some.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Are Our Trade Unions Following the
 English Example?

Are Our Trade Unions Following the English Example?
 We have been congratulating our selves that we are not as the English
 are-so held in bondage by labor unions that the normal product of our industry is restricted. As a rule, our self-con- | graduation is yet, perhaps, warranted. But restriction of two kinds is more common than the public is aware of. There are unions that restrict product or, what Is the same thing, they pre- vent work upon which their men are en- gagged from being done as rapidly as it might be done; and there are unions that restrict the number of workers. It was in these ways that the English un- ions began restriction, and in some trades we have no great distance to travel before we come to the same seri- ous hindrances from which the English suffer.
 MT. Cunniff, who has been investiga- ting the internal workings of the un- ions for the Worlds Work" has found that the unions of the building trades, for example, have q distinct policy of
 restricting work They have a large
 building in hand. It will give work to so many men for so long time. If
 shifts of men are employed. more men will have work but for shorter time.
 Shifts of men, therefore, are not permit
 ted. The job must last as long as pos
 sible-for as few men as possible.
 The long-sighted policy would be the
 reverse of this. The easier it is for owners and contractors to build. the more buildings will be put up. More
 over, the easier it is to build, the more contractors there will be. Every addi- tional difficulty put in the way of build ing discourages it and has tendency to concentrate it in the hands of few contractors Both tendencies so dis courage men that fewer buildings are put up than would be put up under more liberal and far sighted conditions. This was proved during the long period of building stagnation in Chicago, and it is true there yet.
 Such union policy is especially inop- perfume uuFlnE tnlS prosperous 6Th, when many of our cities are being re- bull and when an increasing number of families are building country homes.
 But the question Is much larger than the activity of any particular trade. If American production unions generally restrict production, our commercial eX- pansion will reach it's halting place sooner than the normal conditions of our industrial life warrant
 Here is question as large as the question of the trusts It is, in fact. a mart Of the same large problem. The restriction of production tends toward monopoly, whether it be done by an in dustrial combination or by labor com- bination.-7World's Work.

General Wahl, whom the Car recent ly appointed assistant minister of the interior. is not what would be called a liberal resormer. His name came be- fore the public very prominently, it will be remembered. some time ago in con- snection with his arrest of two hundred persons in theater at Wilma. During the performance seditious proclama- tions were showered upon the audience from the gallery, and two hundred men were taken into custody as they left the theater. General Wahl flogged the lot, and when, not long afterwards, he narrowly escaped assassination, no one was surprised except at his good for tune. While he was governor of Wilma he allowed no street gatherings of any kind, and many laborers and students were whipped by his directions. Ger tain Polish priests were forbidden to preach, and he even went so far as to close the Roman Catholic churches

Two men were fighting in the road, And both were large, and both were mad, And both wondrOus courage showed. And fought with all the strength they
 had.

But one man-One-the greater man, Rose sudden to q mighty height; lie said, Who e'er this strife began l give it up, l cease to fight" And was he rich-the greater man? Or was he poor?

More cases of affections of the eyes are reported in England than ever be- fore. and the oculists attribute the diff ference largely to the kindergarten. They hold that children thus forced un- consciously to strain their eyes and that this early injury is prolific of bad re- suits. Incidentally one of the authori- { ties remarks that the American schools are better arranged than the English in the matter of suitable light and of seats that help to maintain a proper position In reading and writing. If that is so the English children are indeed badly situated.

Hull paid the fine of 81 and Is free

with attempting to perpetrate was
ferreted out by a special agent of the
pension department. During the war
Hull was a member of the First Mich
igan regiment and a number of years
ago applied for a pension, alleging
among other things that while soldier
ing at Chattanooga, Tenn, he had lost
q toe, which was subsequently learned
to have been bitten OFF by a hog when
he was boy. He also claimed to have
contracted disease in the service. The
pension was allowed and later it was
learned that Hull had been deserter
from all Ohio regiment. He had repre-
sented that his toe was crushed off by
an artillery horse and that he had not
been attended by an army surgeon, the
toe being left In the shoe. He was also
charged with having written from Cen
trail City to the commissioner Of PEN
sions offering that official 800 II he
would push his claim thru and allow
him good round pension.

Lumbernen Meet.

Special to TlmeS-Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 12.-About fifty retail
lumbermen from various parts of the
state were in the city Wednesday to
attend the annual convention Of the
Northeastern Iowa Lumbermen's Assoc
citation. A meeting was held at the
Wales Hotel in the afternoon and was
attended by all of the members of the
association. Mr.. Copeland, of Freder-
icksburg, is president of the associa-
ton, and ]. F. Daubenberger secretary.
In the afternoon at o'clock the Wis
itiag members OF the association en-
.oyed boat ride on the steamer Saturn
under the auspices of the Dubuque
Wholesale Lumber Dealers Associa-
ton. About 100 Dubuquers also took
advantage of the delightful ride on the
Mississippi. The boat went up as far
as Cassville and returned about 10
o'clock at night. It was an ideal day
for an outing on the river and great
preparations had been made for the ex-
cursion.
The Northeastern Iowa Lumbermen's
Association meets in Dubuque every
wear. The members Of the association
are retail lumber dealers, and nearly
every retailer in the northeastern part
of the state is a member. The conven-
ton lasts one day and is more OF an
outing for the visitors than for the
transaction of business. However, many
subjects of interest to the retailer are
discussed at the conventions.
