JOHN MITCHELL.

From the New York Tribune.
When President John Mitchell predicts a.
coal strike on April l he undoubtedly allows
himself the mental reservations claimed by
women and by prophets.
From the Atlanta Journal
Mr.. John Mitchell says that he is worried
over the outlook of coal. The balance of US

"are bare-faced lies" Haven't even got
coal dust on them.
From the Toledo Blade.
John Mitchell says he is worried over the
coal situation. However, IL Dolan continues

warm without the use of COAL
From the Hartford Courant
John Mitchell showed good sense In de-
elining the nomination for Congress offered
him by the democrats Of the sixteenth dis
trict of Illinois-unanimous as Ii was. He
wouldn't be comfortable in Congress. He
has much more congeniai occupations and
companionships where he Is. and very much
more power. Besides, the republican pia-
rality in the sixteenth district of Illinois
year before last was 12.026.
From the Providence Journal.
Many people who have no profound adj
miration for John Mitchell will be inclined
to admit that he has shown level head in
refusing nomination for Congress.

The New Regime In Russia.

The managing editor of the st. Peters

relief after he had read Briskfs latest
memoranda from Washington.
IT have often heard you deplore the con-
Trajectory nature of our foreign news.
Don't charge 1t TO the censorship any
longer. It is not going TO improve under a
free press What the trouble is shall not
undertake TO say, but as many wild-eyed
yarns circulate on this side as on our
side of the Atlantic. In the past fortnight
China has six times been on the eve OF a
bloody uprising against all foreigners. and
six times in a condition of profound peace
and good will. In the same period the Alge-
ciras conference has six times come to a
dead halt and four times adjourned for the
day with failure staring 1t in the face. AS

Pat Grove is giving out statements
with all the seriousness of a senator or
president Of wrecked bank.

Pat Grove seems to have justified his
last name.
From the Chicago Tribune.
At any rate, If there is spark of graft

lilies of those twelve Omaha jurymen will

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
There may be no occasion for alarm
but the absence of all reference to Pat
Grove for three days in succession seems
ominous.
From the Omaha Bee.
The discussion of the Grove verdict by
the executive committee of the CONNER
cial Club is suggestive of a discussion
about padiocking the barn door after the
horse has been stolen.
From the Houston Post.
Moreover, the $4,000 ransom which
Cudahy paid to Pat Grove was collected
from the public long ago.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Motor Regulation.

The Commissioners bill for the raeu-
Ition of motor oars in this District. which
they have submitted to Congress as a
Substitute for the Sims bill. retains in
o degree the Imprisonment principle OF
the latter measure, but so modified as to
sommend it to the judgment of many clti-
fens who regard the present regulations
as inadequate and the Sims bill as too
harsh. Instead OF making the penalty of
Imprisonment mandatory upon the first
offense. as Mr.. Sims proposes. the Com
missioners would have II made discretion
airy with the court in third-offense cases
with range Of fines upward from the
first to the third offenses. There Is no
provision for subsequent offenses. the
Commissioners evidently believing that
the third essay at speed violation under
the eye of the law will satisfy all defiant
motorists.
In case, however. there should be dis
position TO continue In breaking the law,
even after Jail experience, the Commits
sioners, under their proposed law, would
have the right to revoke the license pre-
viously granted to the offending motorist.
They ask Congress in this bill to grant
them this power formally. although they
now possess 1t under their general au-
thorlty to make regulations for the safe
guarding Of life and limb They ask to
be specifically empowered to revoke the
license after a single conviction, when
ever in Fheir judgment such revocation
shall DO In the interest of public safety.

The Japanese Relief Fund.

1t IS to be doubted If the American peo-
pie have as yet awakened to full realza-
ton of the urgent needs of the Japanese
people IN this emergency of famine in the
northern provinces. 1t seems to be difficult
for westerners to appreciate that a people
SO thrifty and progressive should have
fallen upon such evil times that thousands
are starving. In another part of The Star
today appear reprints OF extracts from the
latest issues of the Japan Times received in
this city, descriptive of the famine in terms
which must appeal to the hearts and purses
OF the citizens of the United States. The
work of spreading the news Of the case and
acquainting the country with the necessity
of prompt action for the relief of the Japa-
nese is proceeding systematically and OPP
portunities have been opened to all who
desire to contribute to the Red Cross
fund for this praseworthy purpose. There
can be no doubt that when the people of
this country fully understand that they are
In a position to save perhaps thousands of
lives and that every penny given by them
will be put to that good end, there will be
a generous outpouring of funds which will
enable the United States TO serve as
Japan's best friend in the hour of her dis

Heroes. Old and New.

The New York Globe on Thursday served
nm with its notice of the day few extracts
from history, showing that In his time
washington was not saint in everybody s
eyes In one quarter he was denounced as
a hypocrite in another was accused of hav-
ing debauched the country, and was said by
John Ndams to have owed his position In
the revolutionary army to the wealth OF his
wife Proceeding, the Globe says:
$50 general was the anger that the House
Of Representatives voted down resolu-
tfon congra tulating Washington on his
birthday, and even the house OF delegates
of beloved Virginia, considering what re-
Spouse should be made 10 the farewell ad-
dress rejected by vote of IA TO 90 a reso-
luton that ascrbed 10 Washington wisdom
in the cabinet, valor In the field and the
purest patriotism in both.
Then we have this question:
Speculation naturally arises as to
whether the diatribes now launched at
men unfortunate enough to hold consplcu-
Gus Office will seem as silly hundred years
hence as the attacks on Washington are
silly to us. Is there still truth in the say
ing Of the late Thomas B. Reed that a
statesman is merely dead politicians?
\ hundred years hence? Why think how
silly the diatribes that were launched at
Mckinley already seem. In the campaign
of 1900 he was denounced without measure
by men and newspapers whose praise of him
In the campaign OF 1904 was quite without
stint His tragic end did not explain the
change 1t was simply politics. In the one
campaign the fight was on him as his party's
leader; in the other the opposition used his
memory as a club with which to belabor his
successor.
But the change in Roosevelts case Is stu
more startling The November returns ir
1904 were scarcely dry on paper when the
men who had assaied him to the limit OF
vltuperation began falling over one another
In an effort to cultivate favor with him.
He at once became in the eyes--or at least

And you can give 1t to the listening throng,
Life is not vain. A mission Is fulfilled.

Secure where weeds OF care were wont
to grow
Or lift the weary burden for awhile,
From some poor pilgrim over-borne with
woe.

The New Station.

The estimate by Baltimore and Ohio off,
Gals that the new union station In this city
will be ready for occupancy about January
l next is very gratifying to the people Of
Washington and doubtless to all travellers
from other cities who have occasion to use
the local terminals The conditions are
such at present that journeying in and out
OF the capital is exceedingly uncomfortable.
The pa ssenger traffic to and from Washing
ton has increased tremendously during the
past few years. The facilities have been
outgrown in every particular. There is not
enough track room and the station buildings
are much too small 10 accommodate the
crowds flowing through them. These con-
ditions are intensified at the Baltimore and
Ohio terminal by the necessity Of changing
the tracks TO permit the prosecution Of the
station construction.
The open winter now drawing to close
has been marked by pronounced advance
in the work There have been very few
days on which the various branches of the
enterprise have not been forwarded. Had
the winter been severe the estimate of com
pletiOu by January l next would hardly
have been possible. There have been no
uutoward happenings to set the enterprise
back The few delays experienced In the
tunnel under Capitol Hill have been of
slight consequence compared with the diff
fcultles encountered IN similar works else
where.
Il IS 10 be hoped that the station building
and all its appurtenances and approaches
win be ready at the same time. and that
there will not be a long period of finishing
work. The capital should be given a per-
feet terminal equipment and should not be
compelled TO wait for the completion OF
this or that feature for months after the
doors Of the great building are, thrown
open to the travelling public.
