To people in these old settled parts of the country a wild horse would be a novelty, but they seem to 'be plentiful up in Oregon. The Oregonian states that during the present month there is to be a rounding" of about 18,000 wild horses in Douglas county. They have multiplied till they have become a real pest, and it is proposed to employ four hundred cow boys to corral them and rid the settlers of what is a great evil. What seems still more strange is the further state- ment that these animals are all to be killed. They are breed of horses that for many years have run wild. con- stautly detericrating in quality untamed and untameable, and the object in view is to rid the range of these droves of grass consumers as work of neces- sity. We presume the hides will be saved and that Is all, but to us such a slaughter of horses seems not only cruel but wasteful. They are not con- sidered worth the trouble of attempt ing to domesticate them and will be put out of the way with as little delay as possible.

A DRASTIC REMEDY.

Some days before the anticipated general coal strike was expected to take place a correspondent of The Indianapolis Star wrote that paper sug- gesting a rather novel course to be pursued. The following portion of the letter will show his plan:
 ssir--If the operators and miners se she hines na sss ars eh Closed s' the Serious to do. the public, the people? They sss msst ssys Of ega t t od s one made st the 1t and put in into the earth and there is sense in which it belongs to the peo- pie. They are wiling to bn pay yhring fair 1T the men who claim to own it refuse to bring it to the, people they must
 How will they do it? Very easily and in legal and equitable way. It will be the duty of Governor Haniy in Indiana: Open your mines nine, ans, ana them h and let the people dig their own soa Yan say @ Phs there I is no % law for % this. But all time is the old Latin one. 'salus popuii srprSema ao,,; est lex. .na sn,rme e; Tne law. If Governor Haniy were to say 10 the operators, Operate your mines or the state will do 1t for you;' if the people were suffering for coal, there is not court on earth that would de- eide against him.
 "The public welfare. the safety of the Fight Tight. The fire chief orders a building , blown up and demolished to stop the spread of fire This is not confisca- the tIUn stats t id Would not S ccnfiscate them: they would be used and the operates would be paid for their use. do not believe in state s,,s or mandsipai m s.a or e cipal control. If men who own sucn things propose to wrong the people and refuse to furnish what the people are ready to pay for.
 We can form but a faint idea of the rumpus that would ensue if the Cover nors in all the mining States were to adopt the course suggested by this writer. There would probably be riots and bloodshed. the courts would be busy with injunctions and other pro- ceedings, and old Chaos would come again in some cases. 4 general coal strike throughout the country would doubtless cause much inconvenience now and probably much suffering next winter, but would such a prospect jus- tify the civil or military authorities in taking possession of the mines? That would be municipal ownership with 8 vengeance.
 But there Is one phase of this cor respondents argument which indicates that he must belong to the labor un- ions, or is a believer in their doctrine. He refers to what should be done by the Governor if the operators refuse to keep the mines open so people can buy coal, but not word as to invoking this drastic remedy if the miners should refuse to mine the coal for the owners. If all the union miners should make such unjust demands as could not be compiled with and on refusal there should be a general strike should they be held guiltless? If the Governor may take charge of the mines and oper- ate them might he not also force the miners to work without pay or ior such wages as he should fix, or as tho operators would agree to pay? It seems to us that the writer who thus con- tends for municipal control wants to make a one-sided business of it. It is mixed-up proposition. any way we view it.

Dr. Cunningham, however. pro- poses to make the race. He has prac- tically the same views as Mir.

Referring to it's demonstrated ability to run a newspaper successfully with out union labor The Charlotte Observer remarks that the members of the Typographical Union themselves were more surprised than anybody else at the outcome of the strike in this office, They had been led to believe by their leaders that it was an impossibility for a newspaper using linotype ma chimes to get along without union op- orators. and last fall. when, without moments notice, they walked out of The Observer office because the demand for an eight-hour day in the job de- partment was not granted, they con- fidently expected that in a day or two they would be notified to return to work. They have not been so notified and never will be. The regular issues of The Observer show better than any

UsrLrss WASTE OF MONEY.

A committee has been making an iri- vestigation of the useless printing done by the government printing-ofnce at Washington, and among other things it finds that there are nov 400 carloads of this useless printed matter for which there is no call, and that the govern. ment is paying $1s,soo year for rent of three houses to store the worse than useless plunder in. If there is one evil in connection with our government that should be stopped it is this waste of many printing books. documents and reports that nobody wants. no one reads or twill look at. We have little doubt that of the large sums an- nually spent for composition, for blank paper, for printing and binding apd other work at least seven-tenths should be saved. to say nothing of the expense xo the government of sending all over the country matter that is not as much value to'the people as so much dry pine would be. Every newspaper once in the country is loaded and blocked with rubbish in the shape of
 
 government reports that are nothing but an unmitigated nuisance.
 The government annually pays to the railroads nearly fifty million dollars for transporting the mails. No doubt much of this is extortion on the part of the roads or favoritism on the part of government ofiicials. but in any case the money goes. If to this large sum we add the amount paid to carriers other than the railroads 1t will be seen what a sum Is thus expended. and we can easily understand why there is usually deficit in the Postal Depart- ment. If all the useless trash in the shape of unappreciated government re- ports should be kept out of the maii- bags we should hear no more about defi- cits. nor would there be so much conn plaintabout delayed mails In short 1t Is impossible to produce any good and sensible reason why such a waste of money should continue.

 The world is full of beauty and Ala bama has some of the most beautiful spots on the earth. There are places in Alabama as pretty as any in Switzer- land or Scotland, and far prettier than any in America. There are mountains and valleys, there are coyes of surpass- ing beauty unknown outside of mar row radius that would be as famous as Chamouix, if the artist and the writ CT could find them.
 The agricultural department of New Hampshire has issued a pamphlet de- seribing the rough and barren beauties of that State, intended to attract rich people to buy the lands. The New England States have made their agri- cultural departments practically use- ful. and several of them have issued these pamphlets with actual photo graphs of farms that are for sale, and with prices and descriptions. The re- suit has been a great many sales to rich people who have bought the places for summer homes, have improved them and are now paying taxes to the State as never before -1, ,-af

n order to show his disregard of public criticism the President has turn ed down the present Post Master at Washington. and sent in the name of B. J. Barnes for his successor. Barnes is the assistant to the Presidents Sec retary. and Is responsible for the knock down and drag out performahce in which a Mrs. Morris suffered somewhat at the hands of the White House guards. There was much feeling over the matter and considerable indigna- tion, and 1t is all answered by Barnes's appointment to \ a better position. Washington people do not like it be- cause Barnes has no local interests or identity. his home being in New ter sey. It is possible that there will be opposition to his confirmation.
