He would make it easy for the other
side to meet him. Though without
fear that his men could win the vic
tory if the struggle were continued,
he recognized the peoples rights
and was ready for peace. This done
he took his seat.
The reply of the railroad presi-
dents to this proposal of fair and
amicable settlement was scornful
rejection, a refusal to have any
thing to do with the man who Of
fered it, personal abuse of him, and
a counter-proposition which Presi'
dent Roosevelt declined seriously
to entertain because manifestly it
was not offered in good faith, but
as device to confuse the situation
and render the conference abortive.
President Roosevelt and every
one of his advisers here thinks this
proposition of the miners an emin-
emily fair one. They all think it a
proposition which should have
been accepted. They have no hes
itation in saying that the onus of
refusal, of failur to take single
step toward peace when an honora-
BILE peace was offered, must rest up
on the heads of the presidents of
the coal railways.
The corporation managers were
as unfortunate in the manner as in
the substance of their reply. They
not only declared again that they
had nothing to arbitrate, but they
made their declaration in an offens-
i've way. Not content with saying
they would have nothing to do with
any proposal that came from Mitch
ell or the union, they INDUCED in
go much personal abuse of that
gentleman and his organization
that on several occasions President
Roosevelt found it necessary to in
terfere. He felt outraged that
guests of his should come to his
council table and indulge in such a
TRADE upon another guest.
He had asked them in plain lam
guage, 80 plain that gentlemen
should have had no difficulty in
understanding it, to leave their diff
ferences outside the door. He did
not want to listen to their conten-
ton. Mr.. Mitchell implicitly obeyed
the presidents request. Messrs.
Baer, Truesdale, Thomas ct al. did
not.

THE Difference.


In dispatch from Washington
to the Chicago Record Herald, Wal
ter Wellman, that papers special
correspondent describes the con.
ference called by President Roose'
welt in connection with the coal
strike last Friday as follows:
John Mitchell, the 30-year-old Ill
inois miner boy, uneducated, poor
and humble, was more than match
as gentleman or as leader or as
strategist for any one of his power
full antagonists. He out-shone them
all in all respects and won the
plaudits of President Roosevelt and
of every other public man who at.
tended the conference or who was
informed of the details of the ses'
sion.
The railway presidents came to
town in a gorgeous special train
While here they lived in their pri-
vate cars. They drove to and from
the White House in carriages.
John Mitchell and his lieutenante
arrived in the smoking car of a
night train. They walked down
Pennsylvania avenue to a cheap
but tidy hotel, carrying their grips
in their hands. They rode to the
White House in street care.
But when the true test of man.
hood, of patriotism and of faithful
discharge of their trusteeship came
on in the presence of the president
and all the people of the United
States, it was the man of the pick
and shovel, not the high-salaried
corporation manager, who carried
away the honore.
In the first place Mr.. Mitchell
placed Immediately before the pres
ident his simple, plain, uncondi-
tionaf proposal for arbitration. He
responded TO the presidents appeal
for action with a proposal to act. If
the coal famine must be relieved he
offered the means of relieving 1t.
without making charges against
his antagonists, without any at
tempt to. confuse the issue, but driv-
ing straight to the heart of the
question in which the American
people are so vitality interested, he
offered arbitration.
He would leave everything in the
hands of the president of the United
States and go back to work. He
would exact no onerous conditions.

Rule. for Trimming Roses

Pruning is an important matter in
rose growing. Climbing and pillar
roses need only the weak branches and
the tips shortened in. Other hardy
kinds will usually need cutting back
about one-fourth or one-third. accord
ing TO the vigor of the branches. either
in the spring or fall. \ slight cutting
back also after their June towering
in the case OF the remontants will en-
courage more flowers. Severe pruning,
however, will only induce the growth
Of vigorous leafy shoots without flow
ers. The ever-blooming roses will need

time Of uncovering them in spring.
Some pruning during the summer is
also useful in encouraging growth and
flowers. The stronger branche s which
have Powered may be cut back one
half or more. The rule in trimming
roses is TO cut back weak growing kinds
severely, strong growers moderately.

MIXING OF VARIETIES.
How Experienced Fruit Growers In
the East Treat Trees That Are
SeIf-steriIe.

Many varieties of orchard fruits,
especially plums, pears and apples, do
not bear satisfactory crops when
standing by themselves. Some do not
bear at all The trees Of such varieties
require 10 be mixed with trees OF
other more or less closely related va
rieties, or they require 10 be grated
with mixture Of two or more varie-
ties. This general condition is summed
up by saying that such fruits arc self
sterile. and the problem Of self-ster-
llity is the one with which we have
chiefly TO deal. As soon az this matter
began TO be observed the fruit growers
and eXperimenters both found that a
great many plum blossoms are i'm.
perfect. In the majority of such bios

which the fruit itself directly develops,

having no pistil cannot produce a plum.
and IL is at least fair to suppose that
any defect in the pistil renders the
chance OF fruit-bearing much smaller.
Considerable attention was given.

this part OF the subject. II was found
that in some cases ali the blossoms on

found that plums are very largely self
sterile eases Of selfsterility being al
together rare; that a ma ority Of pears

ny, and that the same is true Of ap-
pies. Perhaps one-fourth Of the APP
Piles in common cultivation are totally
selt-sterile. and a third fourth need
cross-pollination for the best results.
The remedy for all this unfruitfulness
IS the mixing Of varieties either by
planting several together or by graft

TOPS OF APPLE TREES.
""e'her To Have Them high or Low
10 subject Holly Discussed
by Fruit Grower.

For many years there has been a de-
sire among fruit growers 20 lower the
tops OF apple trees. Attempts were
made in this direction some years ago
when rows were closer together than
they are now placed. and difficulty was
expe riencedin getting through between
the trees with teams for gathering the
fruit and also for hauling fertilizers
on the orhard and for cultiyating them.
For some years. then, the tendency was
10 higher" tops TO overcome this OBJ
jcction. In more recent wears. how
ever, the tops have been coming down
until In some localities the branches OF
the trees almost lie on the ground.
There are some things in favor Of this
plan. The fruit can be gathered with
out the aid OF large ladders. There
will be no grass or weeds growing I'M
der the trees, and high winds will not
have a. much effect on trees Of this
kind as on tall ones.
We do not recommend the practice OF
topping the trees go low for general
adoption, but there are localities where
il would be a decided advantage 10
have the tops very low. This is a mat
ter Of fancy with orchardists who know
the conditions and will be governed by
them.-Rural World
