ILLINOIS RICH AND GENEROUS.
Organization Will Donate 100000 or
More for Anthracite Strike.

The Illinois miners. who are beginning
to win the title of "bloated bondholders,"
although they do not hold any govern
ment or corporation bonds, in their con-
ference in Masonic Hall yesterday decided
to make a liberal donation to the anthracite
strikers The Illinois organization recently
gave the West Virginia strikers $4,000, but
IT was said last night that they would go
at least $4,000 better for the anthracite
miners The district has nearly a half
million dollars in its treasury and the
miners are willing TO divide. This large
donation will be a surprise to the con-
vention and il is supposed that ii will set
an example for other districts to follow,
although their treasures not rich
enough TO come UP to this gift. The exact
sum the Illinois miners will give TO the
strikers was not given out last night,
other than it was said the gift would be
100000 or more.
Besides making this donation the Illinois
delegates Endorsed the recommendation of
President Mitchell regarding a levy to
carry on the anthracite strike The atti-
tude Of Illinois in the matter as expressed
by one delegate. is, illinois is in for any
thing to win and will stand any kind of
assessment that it is necessary to levy

British Federation of Trades Wishes
to Help Miners.

A dispatch from Cleveland. o.. says that
Max Hayes. a labor leader there. has re-
ceived letter from Ben Tillet, of the ex-
ecutive committee of the British Federation
of Trades, which contains the information
that English trades unionists are willing TO
help the striking anthracite miners with
money contributions. The offer is made TO
prove the sincerity of international COM
radeship. The information contained in the
letter has been telegraphed to President
John Mitchell.
When Tillett was in the United States
last winter he addressed the convention OF
the United Mine Workers, which was being
held in this city at that time and expressed
a warm feeling for the mine workers. He
became a friend of President Mitchell.

Reforms and Human Nature.

Occasionally events crystalline so
that the refOrmer can come into power
through an extraordinary revulsion OF
the people against their masters, but
this revulsion has to be produced by
events rather than words, says the
Political Science Quarterly. A few.
men of the dominant party sent to
prison will do more to cause revul-
sion Of feeling than all the arguments
or newspaper exposes in the world.
The refOrmer may then get his innings,
and if he makes some effort to under
stand the human nature that pervades
the greatest part of the city population
he may remain longer than a brief sea-
son, but the odds are against it for
long time still to come, for the reformer
is as yet constitutionally unable to fol-
low up the detail necessary for political
popularity and success. He relies ON
ideas not on men. He does not realize
that the majority of citizens still live
in a world Of personalities, not of prin-
cipleS
