4 PORTENTOUS SHADOW.

The shadow of another mighty coal strike begins to loom up, and it is no wonder Wall Street took alarm, as shown in Saturdays drop in quota- tions. The last great coal strike was a national calamity, and it was the poor and needy that suffered most in conse- quence of it. This threatened strike, if 1t arrives, may probably be a worse one. If John MitchelTs ultimatum de- livered at the miners convention is not modified there will be a fierce struggle. The recent conference was between the representatives of the soft coal op- orators and the Central and South western districts, and 1t adjourned without having agreed upon a scale of wages to take the place of the one that expires April 1. The operators offered to renew the old scale; the miners ask ed for the restoration of the old scale which was reduced by mutual agree
 nent two years ago. The miners rep resentatives from Ohio, Indiana and H. linois rejected the operators terms and the Pennsylvania (bituminous) voted to accept them. So the matter stands, and this means strike, unless some agree ment otherwise is reached before April i. All this pertains to soft coal region workmen. But the anthracite operators and miners meet in New York to dis cuss matters February 15. It looks quite certain that under the hold-to- gether agreement adopted by the Unit ed Mine Workers at their national con- vention, the western miners can force the anthracite workers into a general strike, especially dt if appears that at the coming convention in New York the anthracite operators will lock horns with their miners. Tn the 1902 strike in the anthracite coal regions the bltumin- ous miners kept at work, submitting, however, to a ten per cent. assessment to help support the hard coal strikers This time a general strike in both branches seems indicated. If the min- CTS want simply better pay, the public will be glad to see them get it, even if the price of coal is screwed up still higher. But if the battle is to be really for more wages for union men and no wages at all and no chance for work for non-union men,--if it means a bat tie to create new monoply, with os- tracisnl, violence and outrages for the non-union men, why that is another question.
 If the strike comes the American peo- pie as a whole will have to suffer while this coal-mining question is being set- tied. The anthracite operators are well prepared for a battle, as they have a good store Of coal on hand owing to the unusual open winter thus far, and be- cause it has been their policy to pile up coal in view of a possible conflict.

WE'LL MERTTFD.

Doubtless congress will be amply sup ported by the nation in the movement for retiring and pensioning the keepers and surfmen of the life saving service when old age prevents them from con- tinuing their wearing and arduous and ofttifnes very dangerous labors Theirs Is hard life at best and every year they save many lives and a great amount of property from the sea. The pay of the coast guard is notoriously small and inadequate and most of them have nothing to look forward to when the infirmities of old age come except the almshouse or the bounty of rela- lives, if they have any able and will ing to be bountiful; or else cold chari- ty at large. Their pay Is wholly dis proportionate to the hazards and per- ills of their work. It is good that great journals like the New York Sun are taking note of this matter and urging that some provision be made by the government 10 render the declining years of these heroic men comfortable and in case of tg1eir death in the dis charge of duty, providing for their wives and children. "A great disaster, difficult rescue, brings them to public notice once in while, but much of their duty, and not the easiest, is of kind to attract little attention. They are faithful brave and self-sacrifcing, and they deserve well of the nation whose coasts they patrol in fair and foul weather
 The country should make easy and comfortable the old age of the men who gave the best years of their lives

4 DAY OFF WANTED.

Another possible strike and one of novel character Is seriously talked of. This one is a strike of New York med ical men-or a talked-of concert of ac" tion by which to get day off in the winter time for much-needed rest. The doctors services are expected to be on call at all times at any hour of the day or night. In the summer, when busi- ness is light, a vacation can be had. But in winter the work, especially of medical men of established and large practice, is nerve-wearing and exces- sive. The New Workers are now think ing of following the example set by the German medical experts of Frankfort, Germany
 Dr. Arnold Eirmann led the revolt of his brethren at Frankfort, which was approved by the local medical society. According to his plan, there are seven- teen police medical precincts in Frank fort. On Sundays and holidays one physician has charge of all the ordinary practice in precinct, while there are two specialist representatives of sur gery and gynecology, and one specialist apiece in several other departments A physician on duty receives a brief re- port of cases from those who are en- toying their day of rest, so that he can deal intelligently with the patients. A list of available physicians is printed in the newspapers and each police station has posted the name and address of the doctor in charge of the precinct. By t::iiis system a majority of Sundays and holidays are at the disposal of the fra ternity. It is said that even if Emperor William were attacked with cephalitIC swelling while visiting the city on a Sunday the Frankforters off duty would refuse to attend him.
 The New York medical experts are welcoming this German idea as one worthy of putting into execution.

The doctor who is bluntest with his adult patients has always soft heart for children. A London surgeon who had been called to attend little lad dangerously sick with diphtheria per formed the operation of thachotomy and to his great joy saw the boy revive. During the next few days everything passed off beautifully, but the doctor wanted to hear his small friend speak. This so far the patient had not done. ''I'm sorry he can't speak to me, nurse, because I'm going up to London to-day and shant know whether to bring him a horse or a gun" It was the doctor speaking "at' the little one. A tiny finger stole up to a wounded throat, and the ghost of a babys voice whisp- cred, Please. doctor, owing tickle gun"
