justification for committing a nuisance
But whatever the actual situation may be at
present it is likely to grow worse before IL lill
proves and the question Of ignoring or endeaV-
orlng to enforce the law to become more
troublesome. Obviously the business or the
CITY must he carried on, and if sufficient sup
ply of hard coal cannot be procured. SOFT coal
will have TO be used in its place: but the au-
thorities should be their guard against SUD
terfuges. and see to it that they are not fooled.
They certainly have not been too vlgilant
hitherto The use of soft coal without precau-
tions to prevent the escape of smoke anu
noxious gases into the air has steadily ana not
slowly increased for several years and many
persons are probably hoping that in conse-
quence of a temporary necessity due TO the
strike the way will be made easy for contlhu-
ance of the evil after the strike is over. 1t
would be lamentable if that result should fol
low or if public and official opinion on this sub
ject should be in any degree relaxed. 1t deepi!
concerns the health, the comfort and the gen
eral welfare of New-YOrk that the purity OF
its atmosphere should be preseryed-should be,
indeed, restored to the standard which was
long maintained and which gave the city an
enviable reputation all over the world.
IT, therefore, selfish persons who in the past
have chosen to run the risk of prosecution ana
others who have been inclined TO follow their
example, are expecting that barriers already
too slight will be permanently broken down
this summer. they should be made to under
stand clearly from the outset that they are mis-
taken. There is nothing TO prevent their using
soft coal at any time, provided they dispose or
the noxious products OF combustion, and that
is entirely feasible at small expense. \ sud
den and brief emergency may be accounted
while 1t lasts a fair excuse for violating the
law. but it cannot be stretched to cover

SOME VOLC4NO VICTIMS.

Public and private generosity has been eX-
tended in ample measure TO the inhabitants
of Martinique and St Vincent The oppor-
tunities for relief work were limited, indeed,
by the character of the catastrophe and funds
are still available for any further philan-
thropic effort that may be required in con-
nection with the West Indian disturbance.
The volcanic explosion in Martinique SO COM
pletely blotted out all life within the devas-
tated area that there were practically no sur
vivors left to succor, nor is it even thought
advisable to attempt recovery of the bodies
of the victims. The number of instances
where dependent persons lost their support
ers was comparatively few. The population
of the whole island was, of course in tempo
rary need, through the destruction Of crops
throughout a wide district, and owing to the
need of supporting the refugees from the
whole island at Fort de France. In st. Vim
cent wants were greater in proportion TO the
loss of life, for there no considerable commu-
nifty had simply been swept out of existence
and all its members put beyond the need OF
aid Yet in both islands nature Is so bounti-
full and the people live so simply that the de-
mands on charity are slight in comparison to
what would be required for relief in north
ern latitudes
One class of sufferers, however, who may
need attention, and who are IN danger OF be-
ing forgotten, the relatives of the people
on the ships destroyed in the roadstead Of st,
Pierre. These persons, for the most part. were
not on the island Of Martinique hence they
have not participated in the relief. They
dwell in other islands-St. Thomas st. kits,
Guadeloupe, St Lucia Barbados and even in
the United States and Europe. The sailors
and officers who perished under the rain of
fire from Mont Pelee were their breadwinners,
and by their loss they much more likely
TO suffer than the careless natives of Mar
Unique and st. Vincent, who are in tempo
rary want from the ruin of their banana
matches All that is possible is being done for
these latter. Before committees disband and
return 10 subscribers their surplus funds they
should give a thought 10 the former. The
widows and children of these men should be
looked for, and any necessities they may be
under through the loss of their natural sup
porters in the eruption should be relieved.
This is as much a proper part of the humani-
tartan work prompted by this disaster as min
istration to the people on Martinique and st.
Vincent.

THE LAT AND TIE STRIKE.

The law of the State of Pennsylvania Is a
considerable factor in the present coal mine
strike beyond its ordinary function of preserV-
ing order and maintaining rights. 1t is pos
sibIe that it is it which accounts for the falIure
of the operators to make any attempt 10 I'LL
the pIaces of the strikers with new men. fof
under the law not every man can become
miner He must first have served for two years
as q laborer in the mines under the dlrecllon
of qualified miner, and have passed an e&-
animation. Now. it might be easy enough to
get a force of laborerS for the mines But 10
get a force of experienced miners, legally quail
flied TO take charge of subterranean chambers
would be Il different and far more difficult
matter: and without such a force of miners
the laborers would be useless. In that respect
the law. which is a salutary one on general
principles undoubtedly acts to the disadvan-
tage of the operators. 1t serves as a bar
against their manning the mines with non
union men.
In another respect the law operates against
the miners. or has been ignored and violated
bv them. The law requires the qualified miners
TO remain in charge of the mines as long as
any work is being done in them, and forbids
them TO leave laborers alone in charge. That,
too is obviously a salutary law. In some parts
the compulsion of the operators In other
parts it is said TO have been generally ignored
the miners quitting work at noon and leaving
the laborers to finish up the days operations
alone during the next three or four hours. A
strict enforcement of the law would have COM
PEELED the miners to stay duty until ) or 4
O'Clock. instead of going home at noon. 1t Is
said too. that the miners have long been ready
to strike against an enforcement of the law
Obviously, what is law for the operator must
be law for the miner. 1t Is well to require
that only experienced men shall be put in
charge of the chambers of mines But then. It
is equally necessary to require that they shall
remain in charge so long as there is any work
being done in them. The operators will prob
ably have difficulty. because Of the law. in
filling the places Of strikers, unless, indeed.
they can do so with laborers who have had
the necessary two years experience, but have
not hitherto been promoted to take charge OF
chambers It may be that some such solution
OF the problem will be found. The laborers
have more than protested against the
treatment they have received at the hands or
the miners. complaining of the violation of the
law by the latter and of the fact that while the
miners did only about one-third of the work
they got two-thirds of the pay. A breach be-
tween the Iaborers and the miners would quick
Iy change the aspect of affairs Meantime it is
well for all concerned to keep in mind these
provisions Of the special laws relating to mining,
as well as the broader and more general prin-
ciples which give to one man at least as much
right TO work as to another man to be idle.

LETTERS AT THE HOUSE DOOR.

The extension OF the free delivery of mail
in the rural districts has called out unexpected
lamentations from certain innkeeperS and
owners of saloons, who say that when farm
ers in many counties had to drive daily to the
country postoffice the sales of cider and beer
were much larger than they can ever be under
the system Of distributing postal matter by
carriers This is a peculiar result of the i'm
provement of the mail service.
1t may be that the receipts of the Internal
Revenue Bureau will fall off from the sur
render of licenses for the sale of liquors in
the agricultural hamlets, but it is not prob
able that the carrier system will be aban-
doned because dealers in stimulants in small
villages find their profits vanishing. The free
delivery system will steadily broaden and ex-
tend in every direction, even If many saloon
keepers are driven out of business.

SOFT COAL.

There are conflicting statements about the
available supply of anthracite coal in this city.
One representation Of the case is that the sup
ply is small and the price almost prohihitive.
SO that IL is becoming practical necessity to
Use soft coal in order TO carry on business. On
the other hand, responsible dealers are said to
have informed DIR. Lederle that they are pre-
pared TO sell hard coal at reasonable prices, as
sertions to the opposite effect being made in
the interest of those who are glad of plausible
excuse for violating the ordinance. 1t seems
TO be true that yesterday. while the Health
Board was taking measures to enforce the law
the Department of Water Supply was breaking
il at the West Side pumping station, on the
plea that otherwise that part of the city would
necessarily he left without water Such con-
tradictions seem rather absurd inasmuch as 1t
cannot be very difficult matter to ascertain
the facts: but we suppose the controversy arises
in part from differences of opinion as to what
reasonable price is consumers being naturally
desirous TO save expense and therefore dis

BROOKLYN WATER.

The discovery Of the polluted condition OF
Some of the sources Of Brooklyn's water supply
would excite popular Indignation If the people
of Brocklyn had not long ago accustomed them
selves 10 the endurance each summer of short
supply of menacing character. Their astonish-
ing patience with the mismanagement of their
system has been SO proverbial that their or
ncisls have apparently thought it needless
exertion to keep the supply ponds clean or even
to prevent neighboring villages from using
then, as receptacles for sewage. Under the
Tammany administration the needs of the bor-
purh were treated with the greatest neglect,
except in the planning of public works in the
interests OF favored spectators. and at one
time the people were faced with the alternative
of water famine or an infected supply through
the failure of the authorities to provide filters
at some ponds. though the imperative need of
them WAS well understood. At that time it
was with the greatest difficulty that some OF
the high officers in the Brooklyn branch of the
Water Department could be brought TO realize
their responsibility or take adequate measures
for public safety. Many of them still hold
over. and seem TO be equally Indifferent to
fudge from the accounts of the hotel and house
drainage into ponds which Commissioner
Dougherty has discovered.

AT this season in previous years the children's
death rate in Brooklyn has been So dispropor-

Brooklyn is less crowded than Manhattan and

in summer has been far greater than Manhat-

Probably more than of these causes con-

what we do of the condition of the water

It is evident that thorough reform is needed,
and Commissioner Dougherty ought TO remove
