OK the supposition that anthra-
cite coal is on the American free
list, the Welsh coal producers have
come to the rescue of New York
from extortionatc coal prices. But
here is where the Dingley tariff
trieksters got in their work.
Knowing that the Welsh coal was
an anthracite containing 80 per
cent of carbon, they raised the free
list margin to % per cent of ear
bon, and so American consumers
of Gree anthracite" from Great
Britain are soaked with a tariff
tax, just the same, in the interests
of the ''infant'' coal combine.

MOST people think that the
trouble with the coal strike will be
ended by the resumption Of work
by the miners. Make no mistake.
That will be but an episode. Any
coal dealer who does not absolutely
control all the trade in his own
section will be wise to sell out as
soon as he can. unless he is pre-
pared to buy out all his competi-
tors to become the agent of the
trust. This word Of warning will
be remembered by coal men later
in every city and town in the
United States where anthracite
coal is sold. AS positively as
words can be framed, it can be
said that the strike, deliberately
brought on, one might fairly say
forced on the miners, is merely
the first act in the farce which the
men who are running this gigantic
enterprise have in mind. The one
necessary thing to start with was
to get absolute control of the re-
tailers by using up their supplies.
That is now done, but it is only the
first move. From now Oh there
will never be a glut in the coal
market anywhere. Coal will be
doled out to dealers under such
conditions that the 'superfuous
ones,' as an agent of the trust said
nsively when incautiously explain
ing the plans, shall be driven out
of business. In the course of time
the retail dealers are all to be men
who are simply agents of the
trust.

In a recent issue of the Grand

In recent issue of the Grand
Forks Herald there appeared an
editorial purporting to be an ar
showing that the people
of North Dakota should not be al
lowed al opportunity to say
whether OF not the present So
called prohibition law should re-
main on our statute books. The
contention made by the Herald
was that if the sale of liquor should
be licensed, so also should the pri-
vilede of thieving, burglary, high
way robbery and such crime be
licensed. This argument might do
credit to a "four-corners school
childrens' debating Esociety," but
the Herald might use its valuable
space for more intellectual reason
ing. The reason why thieving,
etc, should not be licensed, is that
there is only q small per centage
of thieves in the state; that the
great majority of the people Of
this state, and Of every civilized
community are opposed to such
crimes and the laws exist and are
enforced for the protection of the
people against the criminally in
clined. How many people in
Grand Forks would stand idly BY
and see burglar ply his nefsr.
ious work? How many persons are
there who would not run to the
assistance of the foot-pad's victim
or call for assistance? How many
persons are there in any communi.
ty who look upon the violation o.
the liquor law with the same re-
pugnance? W hat per centage O
the present number of voters il

of its adoption? The first princi

SHOT BY BURGLAR.

Omaha, Neb., July 2.-Thomas L.
Wilson, vice president of the Machin-
lists union, today made a statement to
the public, in answer to that made by
President Burt, of the Union Pacific
road, touching the merits of that road.
Mr.. Wilson admits the road has been
paying the highest scale of wages dur
ing the past, but says other roads
raised the scale of wages July /, and
the demands of the Union Pacific ma
chinistS was strictly in line with the
general movement of all mechanics to
get fair share of the existing pros
perity in the United States and to
which we are justly entitled"
On the refusal of the machinists to
accept piece work, Mr. Wilson says
the machinists are not to be compared
with the trainmen, who do not come
into competition with each other. He
says such system would tend to
bring them into competition with
sweat shop workmen and prevent
them from treating as a body with the
company. He sums up as follows:
81 do not hesitate most emphatically
to say this trouble was brought about
by the arbitrary actions of the Union
Pacific road. They wanted a strike;
they got it, and apparently are glad
of it. Since we are forced to it., we
will see the mems demands are grant
ed Or We will go down in defeat like
one man"

cution, none of the defendants wit.
nesses being called. These who testi-
fled were DR.. N. ID. Graham, Arthur G.
Wilkes and George Adriano. Their
testimony was very damaging against
the defendant and agreed virtually
with the account of the shooting pub
lished at the time by The Citizen, ex-
cept that no extenuatihg circum.
stances were brought out.
Atchison was bound over for the
next grand jury and the court refused
to accept bail.
A suit was also filed at Santa Fe
in the district court for San Juan coun-
ty by the Smelter City State Bank Of
cover on note for 81 1,000 which, with
interest, etc, now amounts to $4,000,
that being the amount sued for.
A general judgment was entered by
Judge McFie against all the delinquent

the years 1899 and 1900. The judg.
ment will be turned over to the county
treasurer and collector for collection.

Peoria, ILL.,, July 2.--The convention
OF Illinois prorhibitionists today was a
mos texciting affair. When a call was
made for voluntary contributions, the
delegates went wild with enthusiasm
and crowding to the stage showered
offerings upon it. The chairman and
secretary were compelled to retreat.
Almost $4,000 in cash was heaped upon
the stage. The committee on platform
split in conference and two platforms
Sere submitted to the convention for
adoption. One touches on all leading
national issues and the other confines
itself strictly to prohibition and suf-
frage, A bitter discussion an the two
platforms ensued and the convention
finally adopted the minority report,
which holds the prohibitionists to the
two issues, the liquor question and
woman suffrage. and then adjourned.
treasurer, clerk of supreme court,
superintendent OF pus..c instruction
and trustees of the University of Illi-
nois were nominated.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS.
Ratify All the Selections Made at the

Primaries.
Atlanta. Ga, July 2.-The democrats
OF Georgia met in state convention
here at noon today to nominate a full
state ticket. All the nominees, headed
by James NJ Terrell, of Greenville, for
governor, were determined upon in a
primary election held ON June 5,
though the names of Col. James IA
Estill, of Savannah, and Dupont Guer-
ry. of Macon, will probably be present
ed for the gubernatorial nomination. 1t
is practically certain, however, the
convention will ratify the primary Sc
lections and will endorse United
States Senator Alexander S. Clay for
reelection.
The convention ratified the results
of the primaries. The ticket is as fol-
lows Governor, Joseph NJ. Terrell;
secretary of state, Phil Cook; treasu-
rer, Robert E. Park; comptroller, Gen.
William A. Wright; attorney general,
John c. Hart; prison commissioner,
Thomas tason: commissioner of agri-
culture, o. Stevens; state school COM
missioner. w b. Merritt; associate
justices of the supreme court, A. j.
Cobb and Samuel Lumpkin; United
States senator, A. S. Clay.
The platform will deal mainly with
state issues. and there is considerable
doubt wether either Bryan or the Kan
sas City platform will be mentioned.

special dispatch to the Globe.
Democrat from Washington. under
date of June 2S, says:
The senate committee on territories
met To-Day to hear the delegates from
the territories named in the omnibus
statehood bill present arguments on
the subject of admission The wit
nesses heard today were Delegates
Rodey, of New Mexico, and Smith. of
Arizona, and District Attorney Llew-
ellyn, of New Mexico. All of them
made strong plea for statehood, Civ
ing many facts in regard to schools,
population, etc., and making compari-
sons with existing states. Delegate
Rodey gave as one of the reasons why
New Mexico desired admission to the
union the opinion that such admission
would be of assistance in financing
corporate enterprises in the territory.
He mentioned railroad which would
be enhanced in value if the territory
should become state. Such was also
true OF certain land interests. He ad-
mitted, in reply to questions put by
Senator Beveridge, that interpreters
were necessary in conducting most OF
the public business, as a majority of
the people were unable to speak the
English language. Mr. Smith dwelt
especially upon the long delay the two
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
had been subjected to in their efforts
to secure statehood and made a strong
plea for favorable action during the
next session of congress.
