Coal COMPANY and the Philadelphia and

Coal Company and the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company.
In the bill 1t is asked that receiver De
appointed for the benefit Of all concerned
upon such terms and in such manner. ana
with such agents and servants, ana Win
such rates of wages and other conditions oi
employment and at such prices Tor gooos
produced and sold. as the court snail from
time to time adjudge proper Inc petltion-
ers declare that the corporations named IN
the bill are interpretations of the state OF
Pennsylvania, but that as they transact
business In Massachusetts, they are amena-
Bile to the laws and courts Of that state.
A case somewhat like this occurred in
connection with a street car strike in In
dianapolis about decade ago. Traffic In
that city was suspended and deadlock
ensued between the railroad company and
it's striking employees. The Marion county
court on petition of a citizen appointed re-
ceiver for the company. and this receiver
was superintendent whom the railroad
company had discharged. He reinstated the
strikers, granted their demands, and set
the road running. In few days the court
turned the affairs OF the railroad over to
the company for which the receivership had
been granted.
The method of procedure adopted by the
Boston committee is along the lines of a bill
which it Is said Senator Mason has drafted
for introduction In Congress at it's next ses-
sion. This bill provides that when a coal
strike shall continue UNTIL in the judgment
of the Attorney General of the United
States. or a district attorney, it is preju-
dicial to the rights and interests of the peo-
pie, they. either of them. shall ask Of
United States court the appointment of
receiver. And If the court so judges a re-
celver shall be appointed who shall admins
ter the property under bonds until the court
is satisfied all the differences are settled.
when the property shall be turned over to
the owners.
The attempt to establish in court the pub
lie right to coal Is especially gratifying In
view Of the unyielding attitude Of miners
and operators. According to press reports
yesterday and today Mr.. Mitchell says: IF
we continue to receive contributions as we
have been doing. the mine workers can re-
main out all winter. The mines cannot be
operated by other than certified miners, and
we are the certified miners" Mr.. Baer yes
terday repeated his familiar statement that
there Is nothing to arbitrate" Mr.. Oily
plant, president of the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad, Is reported today as saying
that the mine owners will not submit.

Can the Public End the Striker

A committee Of citizens of Boston has
taken the nitiatory step toward securing
legal determination OF the relation of public
rights TO private rights in the coal mining
industry. Suspension OF the production of
anthracite coal has inflicted on the public a
manifest wrong and several remedies for
that wrong have been proposed Some of
these have been temperate; others have
been violent. Among the measures suggest
ed for the possible redress of the public
grievance. and which have received the
serious attention of thoughtful men are,
First. the application for the appoint
ment OF a receiver for the coal mine proper
ties such application being based OH the
allegation that the mine operators are
either unwiiiinS or unable to provide the
pubic with certain necessary of life:
Second. that the state of Pennsylvania
should take possession OF the mines and
conduct them in the public interest by re,-
son OF the constitutional provision that "the
exercise of the police power OF the state
shall never be abridged or so construed a.
to permit corporations to conduct their
business in such manner as to infringe the
equal rights of individuals or the general
well-being of the state" and,
Third. that the state of PENNSYLVANIA
should take possession OF those mines that
are owned by railroad companies for a vio-
lation of that provision in the state consti-
tuition which recites that no incorporated
company doing business as a common car
risr shall engage in mining or manufacture
ing or shall hold lands except such as are
necessary for conducting it's business as a
common carrier.
1t Is the first OF these legal expedents
which the Boston committee has essayed 10
test. That committee has filed in the SUI
preme court of massachusetts, a bill in
equity against the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company. the Central Railroad
OF New Jersey. the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
western Railroad Company. the Delaware
and Hudson Company, the New York, On

Plutocracy.

The following dispatch from Kentucky
will be read with interest at this time of
nigh prices and plutocracy:
j. II. Dole, one of the best known live
stock men in Shelby county, has sold to
United States Senator J. w. Bailey of Texas
a shorthorn bull calf of the Rose of Sharon
family for s10o.''
Is this one the fruits of the example of
Mr. Bryan, who some months ago paid 500
FOR blooded calf? This Is dangerous
ground for politicians to be treading A plu-
tocrat is plutocrat although the form of
investments may differ. One man prefers
an expensive yacht. The taste of another
runs to expensive race horses And here
we have exhibited preference for valuable
calves. We have just witnessed rich man
In New York turned down by political con-
Vention because Of his plutocratic tastes and
connections. Mr.. Coer of the opposition
party is now on the ragged edge because of
trust affiliations. What trusts and money
do for politicians in New York may not
high-priced calves do for politicians In Ne
braska and Texas? 1t proved disastrous in
the old story to the farmer who yoked him
self up with his pet calf Had not Senator
Bailey better watch out?"

The Ambitious Dane.

To run, or not to run. That Is the ques-
ton. and the ambitious not the melancholy.
Dane of Albany Is now bordering it.
The New York campaign, on the demo-
cratic side. has shaped itself into a prelim-
mary skirmish for advantage in 1904 Am
bilious to furnish the party with its next
presidential candidate. the leaders in the
empire state are moving at present conspic-
uously with that end in view. Governor
Odell has given the people a good admins
tration. Testimony to this effect has come
as freely from democratic as from republi-
can sources. His record in Office is excel
lent. But his democratic eulogists are
anxious to see him defeated for reelection
and are cooperating toward the naming Of
a ticket which shall accomplish that result.
They are willing to risk a change In the
management of local affairs In order to Sc
cure an advantage in national affairs The re-
election of Governor Odel might operate to
defeat Tammany's effort to recapture the
metropolis next year, and that would make
democratic prospects to carry the state a
year later poor indeed. So now. If it is
possible, for the hard pull, the strong pull,
and the pull altogether.
But the gubernatorial candidate must be
the strongest man available. No mere hand
shaker or rabble-rouser will do. He must
represent something. give promise OF some
thing more, and measure up to the require
ments Of possible national leadership. Is
such man in sight? And can he be nomi-
mated and elected?
Now, first of all, there is David B. HILL
This really Is his campaign. He Is at last
the master completely of the state organiza-
ton. He represents a good deal Of ability,
and Is a recognized national quantity. But
he has weaknesses as we'll as strength. AS
the partys candidate for governor, with
the White House as the objective, he would
become the target for many a shot from
within his own camp. What would the
Cleveland men do to him? What would be
the power at long range of Richard Croker
And then Mr.. Bryan. What sort Of sup
port would the Nebraskan give to man
whom he so cordially dislikes and has so
openly repudiated?
And go he stands. this ambitious man,
with the gubernatorial nomination at his
disposal. Should he take 1t himself? Or
should he Sestow it upon another? Success
at the polls would almost certainly make
him his partys next presidential candidate.
But. on the other hand, defeat would put an
end to all Of his hopes. How will he play
the game at Saratoga this week?

mills. giving the miilers, with the aid OF
slabs, ample fuel.
Canada Is utilizing peat as fuel. there
being almost inexhaustible boys of this
semi-vegetable fiber and semi-lignite In the
Dominion. The average retail price Of peat
there Is $4.25 ton. The crude peat IS run
through heavy machinery directly after be-
ing dug, and part Of the moisture Is evapo-
rated by the heat Of the process and the
remainder pressed out. the peat coming
from the machine In dry and solid cubes
ready to burn.
There is no doubt Of the presence in the
United States of vast peat boys. 1t was q
favorite fuel with many families in east
ern Massachusetts, before anthracite be-
came abundant, cheap and convenient. For
the use Of those persons the peat was cut
out in blocks, sliced into small slabs.
spread upon the ground. dried by sun and
air and then stacked so that 1t could be
protected from the rain and snow. It was
a genial fuel and Is very commonly used
in Ireland and the northern parts OF con-
tinental Europe today.

What blisses would awakei

Such little things can make.

If things were as we wish they were,
Instead of as they are.

Compulsory Arbitration.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.

The state should enact compulsory ar
bitration law that would be effective as a
preventive measure. There ought not to be
any insurmountable barrier to the passage
of such a law First, however, it would be
necessary to make the labor unions an
swerable at law for any violation of the de-
cfsion of a board of arbitration. A board
that could not enforce its decisions would
be useless and It would be equally useless
to provide for and appoint arbitrator with
out previously providing a method Of max
ing their decisions binding upon the parties
to a controversy to be adjusted and punish
ing either party that should prove recalci-
traDt

Puerility Run Mad,

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The childishness of comment In eastern
Europe ON the Roumanian incident Is Illus
trated In the suggestion that Roumania
send a protest to the United States against
the persecution of the negroes and the
treatment of Filipinos. This is puerilty
run mad. Whatever else may be said of
the treatment of negroes In the United
States, 1t cannot be said that the national
or any state government Is prosecuting
them with purpose to drive them out Of the
country. AS a race they are better pro-
tected by law than are the most privileged
Roumanians
