The Report of the Coal Strike Commission.

The long deliberations OF the anthra-
cite coal strike commission have cul-
minated in report which ought to
satisfy everybody as the fairest and
wisest judgment possible on ques-
ton involving so many interests and
so many complications Of law, sociol-
ogy and mechanics. Reading the re-
port, no fair minded person can doubt
the honest endeavor of the commission
to take large, unbiased view OF the
matter and to draw their conclusions
with an eye to the general good.
The demands of the miners have
been substantially granted. Their bur-
dens will be greatly lightened by bet
ter wages, shorter hours and no dis
elimination for unionism; perma-
nent board of Cancellation is recon-
mended for the adjustment or proven
ton of future difficulties between en-
ployers and employed and it is suggest
ed that state and federal governments
provide for the compulsory investiga-
ton of labor troubles. More stringent
enforcement of laws against child la
Dor in the mining districts is also
urged.
On the other hand, while setting
aside some of the main contentious OF
the mine operators, the commission
fails to openly recognize the union
the vital point of the whole dispute. 1t
gives its reasons for this, however, and
they are worth careful consideration by
the miners. Moreover the principle OF
the union of labor is recognized in
several of the adjustments made.
The union, it thinks, does not de-
serve recognition until it corrects some
defects in its constitution, changes GER
tain features of its policy and reforms
various abuses existing under it, These
abuses and defects are in connection
with the ordering of strikes, the boy
colt and the coercion of non unionists
Such practices. the commission holds
to be unworthy the principles and dig
nifty of the cause which unionism rep
resents. 1t recommends an independ-
ent self governing body of anthracite
miners.
John Mitchell is said to be satisfied
with the report and to consider it
victory for the miners. The mine oper-
ators are also we'll pleased. And the
people, who have had their full share
of the anxiety, discomfort and expense
connected with this great labor trouble,
have the satisfaction of knowing, that
if the report means anything for any
body, it means that future disputes Of
this sort must be submitted to outside
investigation and arbitration and that
recurrence Of last years coal strike
is impossible. 1t means the abroga-
ton of injustice, tyranny, violence
and lawlessness in the settlement of
industrial disputes and the adoption of
reasonable, fair and temperate meas

THE WATERBURY INVESTIGATION.
Committee Finishes Its Inquiry and Reports
to the Governor.

The investigation, ordered by Gov.
Mccullough, of the recent fatal scald-
ing accident at Waterbury insane asy-
lum closed Friday, our sessions hav-
ing been held. The supervisors OF the
insane who made the investigation,
will soon hold special meeting and
prepare a report to be submitted to the
governor. Testimony showed that the
rules of the institution we're grossly
violated in the preparation of the bath
and the bathing of Mrs. Bennett, the
patient who was fatally scalded. Both
nurses concerned were working at a
time when they would ordinarily be
off duty and hurried to finish their
tasks. 1t was also stated that the
water came into the bathtubs from the
bottom and it was impossible to fell
when it was shut off,

Things are taking a most appalling
turn in st. Johnsbury for those citi-
zens who last year consumed $4,000
worth of agency liquor. The selectmen
have set the rate for fifth class, or
druggists licenses, at 800 each; and
the st. Johnsbury druggists have de-
cided that this rate is prohibitive and
they will keep out of the business.
This means being lilly white" with a
vengeance. The decision on the famous
Windham county "test case, as to the
constitutional right to absolutely pro-
hibit the sale of liquor, will doubtless
be looked forward to with peculiar in
terest by some st. Johnsbury people.

The latest thing in the humbug line,
the fake nature writer, has been thor
oughly exposed by that famous student
of nature, John Burroughs, in the
March number of the Atlantic. He
makes it plain that these romancers put
so much fancy into the report of their
observations Of animals and birds, as
to make it impossible to distinguish
between the real and the imaginary.
This imposition on Nature deserves to
he exposed.

The state papers agree, in their re-
ports of the investigation of the Wat
erbury asylum scalding accident, that
no criminal negligence" was shown.
Two nurses, working extra time and in
a hurry to get through, were simply
careless and violated the rules. The
result was that an old woman patient
was fatally scalded in bathtub.
That's all. Nothing criminal about

price paid has not been announced, it Is
understood to be perfectly satisfactory to
Mr. Rhinelander.
The frescos were offered for sale at auc-
lion in Paris at the Durand-Ruel rooms on
June s last. The auctioneer first offered
he collection as a whole, naming an upset
price Of 100000 francs; but as no bidder
appeared at that price, the frescos were
ostensibly sold piecemeal. Even thus the
sale was failure, for reasons that are
probably known to some persons concerned,

clear that almost all the frescos must have
