Newspapers and and Treaties.

Statesmen, diplomats, and poll
ticians feel the pulse of public opin-
ion through the public press. the
press serving the double function of
recording passing events and ex-
pounding general sentiment Many
public men control what are known
as organs" and they show their
ability very often in sounding their
keynotes and running their preludes
TO action upon these organs, keeping
their ears open to catch the echo
that they may know what the re-
sponse may be.
The press of Great Britain has been
feeling its way toward an under
standing with Russia. and the Rus
sian press has been answering its
overtures in such a way that the
diplomats are able to Judge the
proper key and the appropriate stops
to use in further negotiations. At
present the movement has advanced
far enough for one of the govern
ment leaders TO say:
"Great Britain has no intention of
making aggressive movements In
Central Asia. Our object Is defense
not defiance, and il the Russian gov
ernment desires TO come to an under
standing with us with reference to
our respective interests in that part
Of the world it will not find the Brit
ash government backward to consider

Coal Strike Certain.

1.-The coal opera tors make no bones
concerning their belief that there will
be a general coal strike next spring."
said T. p, Johnston. OF Pennsylvania,
at the St. James last evening.
while President Mitchell, Of the
miners union, has not said In so many
words that a general strike order will
be issued, he has In several interviews
clearly intimated that when the pres
ent agreement or contract between the
miners and the operators expires the
miners will not renew IT. The opera
tors interpret this to mean that a strike
will follow. IL so 1t means that the
consumer will again be crushed
''The best evidence that an under
standing, or rather a settled conviction,
or another Etrike IN the coal fields next
spring is the widespread advertisement
OF the local coal dealers warning their
customers of a rise in the price of coal
In the very near future and advising
them to put in an extra supply at cur
rent prices. The dealers would not
thus warn their customers unless they
had a tip from the big operators.
Before the big strike. several years
ago, the local dealers did not advertise
any warning to their customers, but
when tiuaid customers read the ac-
counts in the papers at the beginning
Of the big strike they were told by the
dealers not to be alarmed. that there
would be plenty of coal and there would
be no advance in the price of that
necessary article. Those who took that
advice got left. and had to pay fancy
price for coal. If the strike does come.
as is generally believed, 1t viii be thous-
ands of dollars in profits for the big
operators, for they have the coal mined
and under cover. And the miners will
never make up, by a small Increase In
wages what they'll lose by a four or
five months strike.
The people had better put in their
coal now for the winter of 1867 unless
they again want to pay fancy prices"

Representative George w. Prince, Of
Illinois. one of the prominent Republi-
cans OF the House. Is in the city for a
few days, looking after some depaFt-
ment matters for his district.
THE statement made by some of the
witnesses before the New York ,legisla-
tive committee engaged in investigating
the big life insurance companies" said
Representative Prince. at the Shoreham
last night, that they distributed over
II eooW 600 among the several State Legis-
iatures to defeat sandbag bills. Is gross
slander on the members of the I>egisla-
lures. Before l. was elected TO Con-
gress was a member of the Illinois
Legislature, and 1 know that as gem
eral proposition every member. irrespec-
tive Of politics. was quick to jump on
any bill introduced that had tina faint
est suspicion OF being a 'sandbag BILL
This Is true of every State Legislature.
THAT statement of the insurance witt
lis siander. do not doubt that
the million dollars was distributed as
claimed. but 1t was for different pur-
pose. II was used to defeat wholesome
legislation, the object of which was to
regulate insurance companies to the end
that the interest of pelicyholders would
be better protected,
"If there is any law under which the
Government can compel the. insurance
companies to give the policyholders a
square deal, / am in favor of enforcing
It. Recent disclosures In New York
make it Imperative .---.-s---
+ SPEAKING OF railroad rate Legislation,
Representative Prince said: 'sThe
House will surely pass q bill to regu-
late railroad rates, and the bill will
be drawn on the lines laid down in the
forthcoming message of the President
1t will be a better bill than the Esch-
Townsend bill which we passed last
February by an almost unanimous vote
The Esch-Townsend bill was a good
measure. but 1t did not make clear
some things; for instance, the private
car and terminal charges. Now the new
bill which will come up for consideration
early In the session. will be stronger in
some sections In that there will be no
doubt as to the private car and the
terminal charges.
What will the Senate do with 1t?
Why think the upper house will re-
spond to the sentiments OF the country
and pass ii. According to the reports
printed in the public press. there is
TO legislation to increase the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
but / do not believe the opposition will
be Of the character to defeat by delay,
the will of the majority"

Hoch the Kaiser.

A news dispatch from Berlin has
the following pleasant announce
ment:
The Hamburg-American Steam
ship Company has christened the
decks Of the Amerika, its new vessel.
Kaiser, Roosevelt, Washington,
Cleveland, and Franklin, Instead OF
main. lower. ETC."
We had suspicion something of
this kind would happen sooner or
later. and it is well to have 1t over.
We feel better.
Amerika has produced many great
men and they are loved and respect
ed the world over in the order nam
ed: Kaiser, Roosevelt, Washington.
Cleveland. and Franklin. Just at
present it has escaped our memory
what Kaiser did, but We suppose the
Kaiser referred to is the one cele-
brated many years ago in the song:
Kaiser doncher wanter buy a iorg.
lie II make goot sausage meat"
No other Kaiser. famous in Ameri-
ha, occurs to us as of sufficient i'm
portance to overtop Roosevelt, Wash
ington. Cleveland. and Franklin.
1t would be interesting to know
Just why Washington, Cleveland,
and Franklin were put in that order
in the descending scale. Perhaps the
names of ali good and great Ameri-
kans were put into the hat and the
drawing was supervised by impartial
tellers- But how did Kaiser get
there?

Republicans Are Pleased.

Every Republican party leader seems
to be pleased with conditions except
Congressman Mudd. He Is having his
troubles The Democrats are claiming he
will lose Charles. his home county, and
there are Republicans who agree with
them There are more blacks than
whites in this county and the feeling is
so intense that the races may divide. In
such an event, the Democrats would
surely win. for the blacks cannot mark a
ballot properly. which does not carry
the party designation. There is some
talk of confning attention to the amend
ment and not naming any candidates
Then the illiterates could be taught to
make the single mark. But Mudd wants
to gain his county if possible, for its loss
now would injure his candidacy next
year
the attorney general gave him material
assistance this week when he sent out
instructions to all supervisors of cleo
tions warning them against violating
the law. They are directed to permit
the minority member of the board TO
participate in their deliberations and
afford him every facility while he is per-
forming his duties. If this order is
obeyed. the Republicans will know how
the names on the ballot are TO be ar
ranged and give them an opportunity to
instruct their voters
Heretofore the Democratic members
have not been any too particular about
consulting their colleague. They fixed
ua the ticket to suit themselves and
withheld all information from the op-
position.
In Prince George county Mr.. Mudd is
having trouble inducing those who
would strengthen the ticket to become
candidates. and 1t is doubtful whether
full ticket will be nominated. The
Congressman has been waiting for the
Democrats to hold their convention so
as TO prevent a duplication of Republi-
can names. He feared the placing on
the ballot of names OF alleged indepen-
dent candidates similar to those of regu-

any proposals which 1t may desire
to advance"
An agreement with Britain would
be of enormous vaiue to Russia.
Britain not only holds the key to
the Far East. but she controls the
way to the Mediterranean through
the Dardanelles. Germany's inter-
ests in Asia Minor could also be con-
served and peace made as certain in
the West as 1t now Is in the East.

The Negro and the Italian.

No movement SO radical as the
present Importation of Italian white
labor by the South could escape ad-
verse criticism. Most such enter
prises, in fact, must overcome an
enormous opposition-based on gen.
eral misunderstanding or widespread
ignorance-at the very outset. There
fore, it is not especially significant
that a thoughtful Southerner, L. J.
! Bryant, of Kentucky, should have
written for the Manufacturers Rec
ora an article of calm strength and
impressive style in which he ex.
pounds serious doubt as to the ulti-
! mate advantage of numerous Ital-
ian population.
The chief items against the new
comers, as Mr.. Bryant sees them, are
these:
That the South considers only his
commercial value and not his influ-
ence as a citizen: that the time is
most inopportune to introduce an
other race into a community already
struggling with race problem; that
the negro is not without hope; that,
| in fact, the negro "is capable of fair
ly keeping pace with the other races
of men, opportunities and conditions
being equal;" that the Italian holds
human life lightly; that he carries
/ yellow fever wherever he goes: and
that the negroes now put out Of en-
Ployment by the coming of the
Italians will bring to a sudden and
dangerous climax the whole question
of the nesro's future. And the spirit
of the article is expressed in this
paragraph:
| Beside what Is the occasion to turn
1 the South upside down2 All the natural
resources will remain until they can be
utilized. and no section of our country
| is making. and Notwithstanding the fact
| that the Italian has set her back mil
lions of dollars this year alone. she will
continue to prosper
The South will do well to weigh
all these contentious. Its history re-
veals II as the last section of the
1 u,
| TO raw commercialism. 1t should be
the first to guard its ballot from a
new race of illiterates, for the chief
of its difficulties of today arose
through the enfranchisement of a
numerous people not in any sense
ready for il. And fine sense of the
better side of life would make It
eternally restless If il turned itself
upside down" for little money.
But many Of these contentious
eliminate themselves. The Italian,
viewed at his worst, does not hold
human life any more Iightly-he
could not-than the negro viewed at
his worst, and the South is reaching
after the Italian whose life at home
warrants faith that he will obey the
: law when he makes a new home
somewhere else. He does not carry
| yellow fever anywhere in America
unless the American health authori-
/ ties are criminally negligent. As
] for the negroes put out of employ
ment by the coming of the Italian,
they VIII do, when that issue arises,
what they ought to do now-work
six days in the week.
1t may be that the negro Is not
without hope. The Times likes to
think SO. It's influence Is strongly

An observing contemporary remarks
 that the young people who indulge in
 the giddy mazes of the waltz will hear with interest that the heads of Wash
 hgton and New York society have de- clared that sitting a waltz will be more fashionable from now on than dancing. "The sitting out" embodies the same position as dancing. the only difference is that you sit instead of dance The mans right arm is around the girls waist, while his left hand holds her right. Her left hand is placed on his shoulder while her head rests lovingly upon his bosom. and all they have to do is to sit and listen to tba music Now that is something like it. We have always regarded it as quite a nuisance to gallop a mile or two to get a hug or two. A room full of peo- pie sitting on sofas hugging to music Is more to our notion This will give the old rheumatic brethern another chance to waltz.
