The Situation in the Coal Strike.

President John Mitchell of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America ISSUED
an address to the public Monday. II
| is partly reply to the letter of the
operators declining to accede to the
demands of the miners, which was pub
lished 10 days ago. Briefly summar-
/ lied the address says that every pos
sible means was resorted to in the eff
fort to prevent the strike, claims that
the cost of living has increased to the
point where the miner was compelled
to ask for higher wages, denies the al
legations of the operators that the pro-
ductive capacity of the mine workers
has fallen off, but on the other hand
has increased, and says that in the
event the union is crushed, which it
is not likely, new organization would
rise from its ruins. 1t concludes with
another appeal for arbitration of all
questions in dispute. The first serious
depreciation in the West Virginia
mines was committed Thursday when
the West Fork mine at Mount Glare
was blown up, presumably by strikers.
An immense amount of rock was blown
down blockading the mouth for more
than 10 feet. The seventh week of the
strike began Monday. None of the
companies are trying to resume work.
1t is estimated by W. B. Wilson. sec
rotary and treasurer of the United
Mine Workers of America, that the
present supply of bituminous and an
thracite coal above ground would be
exhausted in less than three months,
if there should be a general suspension
of work in the mines. According to
this estimate, if the national conven-
ton of mine workers in Indianapolis
should vote for general suspension of
work in support of the anthracite
strike, as is now proposed. the vast in
dustrial machinery of the United
States would be handicapped for fuel
so that thousands of factories would
have to suspend work. The navy is
already suffering from the effects of
the strike and must secure supplies of
fuel before long. The estimated cost /
Of the coal strike is now above S35,
100000. The largest share of this loss |
falls on operators in loss of usual sales.

Julian Ralph's Observations OF Vermont
Prohibition.

Julian Ralph, the well known maya
zine writer and news correspondent
writes from Brandon to the New ORR
Times as follows in regard to the YER
mont liquor law, after stating that the
one proved fact in the problem OF man
aging the drink question IS that prom
bition does not prohibit;
"As it is practiced here, 1t results IN
the maintenance of more places where
liauor is illicitly sold than there would
be under an open law In practlcaliy
all of these secret saloons wretched,
adulterated and highly poisonous de-
coctions are offered liquor Is almost
impossible to obtain. The selectmen
of each town appoint town agent for
the dispensing of liquors upon pre-
scription, and most of these agents,
who take half the profits, vend vile H.
ouor and break the law by handing 1t
out to any citizen whom they know as
neighbor, be he a drunkard or not,
without the formality of asking to see
| his prescription. Any man found
drunk or Stimulating drunkenness may
declare that he obtained his drinks OF
whomsoever he is at enmity with, and
his word is, by law, a proof superior to
any denials or testimony by friends
that the accused may offer. NO citi-
zen, whether a hotel keeper or prl-
vate householder, is wholly safe from
charge of this sort, and the penalty
is very severe.
ono visitor to the state is any more
immune than the residents, or can
visitor bring his own intoXicants for
strictly personal use over the borders
of the state, if the fact is known or
any official cares to search his effects.
"Blind pigs abound, and in the
large towns outnumber any other SIN
gle class of places of business. Bogus
drug stores with barrooms in the rear
are a notable feature Of the appoint
ments of these towns and cities. Drink
ing, therefore, goes on in Vermont as
if there were no law against it; its ex-
tent is augmented by the secrecy and
risk attached to it, but little or none
of the liquor sold is fit to drink, and
every drink purchased is a toast to dis
order and violation of law.
"From the point of view OF practi-
cal Vermonter, the worst feature of all
is that the state is avoided by the
great majority of seekers after summer
rest in the country, and this in spite
of the fact that it should hold the
very first place in the list of summer
resorts. 1t is not only one of the most
beautiful regions in America, but,
with the Green Mountains on the one
side and Lake Champlain and the Ad
irondack forest on the other, it offers
the purest, the most tonic, and, per-
haps, the coolest air to be found with
in the same distance of the great East
ern and Middle States cities. INDIE
pendent citizens who desire to regulate
their own morals will not come here.
Self respecting men who find they can
not take a drink without adopting the
behavior and morals of the criminal
class give Vermont wide berth. The
state loses million or several millions
annually for these reasons

A Political Reminisceuce.

Ten years ago this month there was
strenuous fight on over the governor,
4 ship nomination in this state. al
/ though it did not equal the present
/ one The contest of 1892 was like the
/ present fight, a three cornered one.
Levi X. Fuller of Brattleboro, Hen nv
| a. Fletcher of Cavendish and Victor
| Spear of Braintree were the candi-
dates. The convention was held June
p at Burliny ton. Colonel Fuller, like
General Mccullough, led in delegates
from the beginning of the caucuses
and while his friends were able to fig
ure out clear majority for him before
he went into convention, the support
ers of the other two candidates claimed
that they held the balance of power
and succeeded in giving Colonel Full
ler's supporters most uncertain feel
ing down toward the bottom of their
boots. In that convention 67S dele
gates were present, requiring $40 votes
for choice. Colonel Fuller won on
the first ballot, his vote being 1874
While Colonel Fuller's opponents were
unable to put UP as hard a fight in
some directions as have General Nc
Cullough's two competitors, yet they
possessed certain advantages over the
Brattleboro man, which made the con-
test extremely interesting from the
start Colonel Fuller, however, led
from the start to the finish as has Gen
eral Mccullough. 1t is worthy of
note just now that General McCul-
Tough presided at the convention
which nominated Colonel Fuller and
his address upon accepting the honor
was conceded by all to be one of the
most brilliant efforts ever heard at a
similar Republican gathering in Yer
mont. At that convention F. Stewart
Stranahan of ST. Adams was nominal
ed lieutenant governor, his opponent
being Elihu B. Taft of Burlington.
The other state officers were re-nomi

Paterson, n. j., had a reign of law
lessness for two days last week, mobs
overrunning the city, destroying prop

number of persons were shot, two ia
tally. Striking silk dyers' helpers or
roughs acting for them melted the
riots, aided by the counsels of anarch-
lstlc newspapers, whose editors have
disappeared. William Mcqueen, an
anarchist, who is also accused of incit-
ing the strikers to riot, was arrested in
New York Monday. Mcqueen is

sound drubbing to the thoughtless
driver, his cane being several times

cided not to put in any stone culverts
at points where the washouts occurred,
but to build steel bridges in their
places, and the engineers are now at
work on plans. More than 2OOO people
visited the scene of the wreck on Sun
