GOAL STRIKE PROSPECT.

Unless the coal operators Of the
country recede from their position, the
greatest strike in the history Of the
United States will begin April l. On
the last day of March the existing
contracts between the operators and
the United Mine Workers of America
will expire by limitation. These con-
years ago. At that time the operators
were able to show that the condition
of their business was such as to rem
der a reduction In wages absolutely
necessary.
The miners accepted the reduction
in good faith on the advice of Presi-
dent John Mitchell, and they have held
faithfully to their contract. Now NIr.
Mitchell insists that conditions have
changed, and the correctness of his
position is easily demonstrabIe. The
country is more prosperous than it
was two years ago; the demand for
coal is greater, the cost Of living is
higher.
For at least two years we have
heard nothing but stories of our great
prosperity. To many this prosperity
story has contained more of romance
than of fact. Certainly the men who
work for wages and for salaries have
not shared in it to any appreciate ex-
tent. The miners believe the old wage
scale should be restored. and the fact
that President Mitchell one Of the
most conservative of all the labor
leaders, agrees with them is enough
TO give them immediate standing in
the court OF public opinion.
The strike was decided upon only
as a last resort, only after all efforts
on the part of the labor leaders and
the representatives of the operators to
reach an agreement had failed. So
unless some unforeseen agency comes
in 70 prevent the gigantic conflict be-
tween employees and employers, nearly
10000 men viii be voluntarily idle
within sixty days.
The approach Of the conflict cannot
but be viewed with grave apprehea-
sion in all circles. Idleness for so vast
q body Of toiIers inevitably means
hardship and suffering for hundreds of
thousands of people, directly and in
directly concerned with the Industry

NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMED.
Saturday Evening POST

A distinguished southern statesman,
In his best days the Beau BrummeI of
washington, VINO was never known to
pay bill if he could avoid it, went into
a fashionable restaurant one evening
and ordered a dinner for which he was
charged a little over So. He had done
the same thing before, and the prOprie-
tor decided to teach him a lesson. He
explained to the cashier that he had
not the money with him, but would
drop in and pay. The cashier shook
her head and referred him to the pro
prietOr in his private office, where the
statesman-whOm every one in Wash
ingtOn knOws-repeated his statement
TT has reached the limit" said the
proprietor. You don't go out of here
with that dinner until you pay" The
statesman laughed and was turning
away, when the proprietor said, sharp
ly:
you stop where you are. Do you
see that?" He drew something from
his hip pocket, half concealed by his
hand, exposing only the end Of a blue
barrel. The statesman staggered back
against the door. ct thought So" the
proprietor continued. Now YOU I'M
derstand. You don't take another din
ner out Of here unless you pay for it,
That's pistol and means business
The statesman recovered himself in
an instant, saying:
Nothing but a pistol? 1 was afraid
it was stomach pump!"

! oNeWoRTH TO BE GOVERNOR.

It appears from a Washington dis
patch that plans are. under way to
make the consort-eIect of the Princess
Alice governor Of the province of Ohio.
It Is fitting that the news should come
from the seat of government, for
there the princess and the royal fam
ily have their place of abode. Like
wise it Is ftting that the consort, who
is not now even a member Of cur
house Of lords. but only Of the house
Of commons. should be elevated to the
rank anad dignity Of a governorship.
There IS as yet one little formality
TO 20 through with. but that is SO
trivial a matter that it IS hardly worth
mentioning. The people of Ohio will
have a chance. merely as a matter of
form. t0- say whether or not they want
NJ. IG1fgoortb for governor. OF
course. according to the Washington
dispatch. they will gladly acquiesce.
Who would not be willing to be ruled
by a princess of the royal house of
Roosevelt and a son-in-law of the
same house?
Certainly the people of Ohio VIII fall
over themselves in their eagerness to
elect Mr.. Longworth. He will be &C
ceptable to the people because he viii
be of the royal family. He is accept
able to the bosses because he has al
ways been satisfactory to them. He
owes his place in congress to the re-
Gently discredited Cox. boss of Cincin-
natl, and he has never failed to &C
knowledge his Indebtedness and his
allegiance. A man who would be true
to Boss Cox would be true to any and
all other bosses.
So. vive LOngwOrth. and vive Ia
Princess Alice. Long may they reign
over the fair province of Ohio. Long
may they rule fairly and impartially
over the people, and when the august
father-in-law is ready to remove rom
his broad shoulders the purple robe of
office, may the good and true Nicholas
succeed him. It is only a step, you
know, from Ohio to Washington.

who didn't keep the date, and so the
good yet misohisvous Adele decided to
impersonate the bad girl. In the buoy
ancy of the assumed character, she sat
down at a piano and spatted the key
board for a tune that a concealed
musician played on another instru-
ment; and i'm her perturbation she
stopped her motions two bars before
the sounds ceased: so that at the out
set the audience laughed at her. not
with her, and thenceforward she was
nerveless.
Now, Adele is as exquisite in her
beauty as a bisque statuette-so fra
gile-looking in a crockery way that If
she were tipped over you would ex-
pect her to be broken all up. How
ever, she IS a princess in Bohemia, if
not quite a queen, and a conspicuous
~ ornamental figure in the electro-lit
section Of Broadway restaurants after
the theatrical shows. So. when she
baked at more than sip Of cham
payne in the luncheon with Tom, and
slyly emptied glass after glass into the
ferDery instead OF into herself, we
laughed at the improbability of Wine
going to waste at her fair hands; and
when she choked with the first coy

go on smoking it, we laughed some
more-at her, not with her. She
looked like a dainty creature unaccus-
tened to wine and tobacco, but we
couldn't think of her as taking alarm
at the bouquet of the one or the odor
or the other, and she seemed to be
struck stunningly by the fact that we
knew her too jolly well as a gourmet
at table to accept her as a novice
And when the comedietta led delicate
~ UP to an intimation that Miss Jor-
dams totally abstinent maiden might
after getting rid of some of her shy
ness, consider a proposal Of marriage
TO Tom, the good record of Adele as a,
GlVorcer OF husbands seemed to come
into our minds. The consensus of
feeling was that the beautiful actress
unwitttngly brought the Actors Fund
matinee to climax of unique enter
t9inment.

a RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

In Chicago some days ago a widow
secured a verdict for herself and her
four children against three saloon
keepers for So, 800. She sued the rum
sellers because they had ruined the
lives of herself and children by selling
the husband and father intoxicants,
knowing him to be a drunkard. The
man, as a matter of fact, drank him
self to death after dissipating his
property. The justice Of the verdict
will, we are sure, be generally recog-
nized
The saloon-keepers had TO business
selling intoxicants to a man that they
knew to be q drunkard. They might
say in their own defense that if they
had not profited by his appetite others
would have done so. That argument
is as old as sin itself. On the same
plea man might excuse himself for
apprOpriating an article of value left
in a public place. He might say that
if he didn't steal it somebody else
would.
The law, fortunately, recognizes no
such excuse, The individual cannot
escape responsibility for his own acts
by pleading that somebody else does
the same thing. The purpose of the law
is to catch and punish as many of the
guilty as possible. It is inevitable that
some Of the guilty escape. If some
didn't escape we would be compelled
to enlarge our jails and our peniten-
tiaries and many of our great criminal
lawyers would be obliged to find some
other means of earning a living. We
had almost said an honest living.
Enforcement of the statutes provid-
ing that dependent families may re-
cover damages from saloon-keepers
who wreck homes by debauching the
heads of homes, the wage earners
would have a most salutary effect in
curbing the business of selling intoxi-
cants. If the saIoon-keeper knew to
a certainty that he would be hailed
into court and made to pay heavy
damages for selling whisky to a
drunkard he would very promptly stop
selling whisky to that drunkard.
It would be pleasant to see the
Chicago verdict repeated, with the
amount doubled or trebled, wherever
the circumstances warrant the action
If the business of unmaking men is
to be continued those engaged in ii
should pay for the privilege.

great many soldiers in uniform, and the
bund did not dare attack them. All at
once the mob was on him, the door was
split like match wood and the young
Jew, who met the attack with butch
er's cleaver, was borne down, trampled
on with hobnailed boots, kicked and
jabbed with swords. Then the mob
went up to loot the rest of the building.
When they had gone Gurewich was
dragged into the cellar by his wife, and
there they remained for three days. 1t
was an ice cellar, used for the storing of
meat, and there was six inches of water
on the floor. They ate raw meat drank
the water in which they lay and slept
sitting against the icicled wall on a row
Of barrels. At the end of three days the
rioting ceased temporarily and the
family went up stairs and lived for
week in their wrecked home. Then with
some money that had been hidden in a
secret place the family got out of town
one night, made their way with the as
sistance of friends to the frontier and
came to America. Gurewich's s wife has
five brothers, who live at 70 Cannon
