No Coal Strike.

In resolving to remain at work pending
the negotiations for readjustment of
terms the anthracite coal miners have
greatly strengthened their case before
the public. Their refusal to work on the
ground that the operators declined to
treat with them as an Organization
would have placed upon them a heavy
burden Of responsibility for whatever
consequences might have resulted from
the suspension of mining. Violence rs now
improbable. save in a few Individual in
stances. The supply of fuel for the coun-
try will not be dangerously shut off.
4 readjustment of the working agree
ment should be possible without serious
difioulty If the miners can advance good
reasons for change. Public sentiment,
which exerts powerful influence i'm the
long run upon all such industrial issues,
will be the more likely to develop in favor
of the men than of the operators If the
former proceed calmly and I'm good order
10 press their petition for better pay and
more comfortable conditions of work. The
suggestion that the President appoint a
commission to settle the dispute is pre-
mature. No such emergency exists today
that which justified the executive in
prevention in 1902. The Presidents action
then was effective only because the mine
operators were forced by the overwhelm-
ing demand of the people for relief from
the intolerable conditions resulting from
the strike. Their aequiescence in the ex-
ecutive's project to submit the issues to
a commission was essential to success
There is ne reason at present to look for
a similar agreement On their part at this
time. If the President should consent 10
summon commission to examine into
the merits of the controversy over hours
wages and recognition OF the union, and
no law exists to compel them to do SO.
II the miners Wish To resort to federal
authority they must seek first 10 per-
suode Congress to enact d statute giving
the national government power to inter-
vene between corporations and employees
engaged in industries productive of ar
Iicles Of interstate commerce in all cases
Of inability TO agree upon working terms
Such move may not succeed, but unless
1t Is made all efforts to bring the United
States government into the case short of
an acute emergency menacing the lives
OF the people will be futile

The Magnetic Poles.

Students OF geophysics viii doubtless be
unanimous in support OF the proposition
that Of all the results OF the Shackleton
antarctic expedition the magnetic -obser-
vations and the accurate location OF the
south magnetic pole far transcend in I'm
portance the geographical discoveries. in
teresting as they may have been. These
achievements are related to what has just
ly been termed one of the most elusive
and complicated problems of sciepce.' far
too technical for the comprehension OF
the man in the street, and dealing with
phenomena the fundamental secrets OF
which have yet to be fathomed. In con-
trast with the purely geographical revela-
lions made by Lieut.. Shackleton and his
intrepid companions these observations
will sink into comparative insignificance
In the popular estimation. yet the add
ton that has been made to the sum OF
the worlds knowledge on the subject OF
terrestrial magnetism will be Of far great
Ter benefit to mankind.

plain people. But. as to courage and con-
yiction, they stood on q level.
Wise was in the governors chair. and
Brown in Jail under sentence Of death. A
fanatical blow had been aimed at slavery.
The country was stirred to the center.
Few saw that civil war was approaching.
but all saw that matters had taken q
new and an alarming turn. Should Brown
be hanged as a responsible, or detained as
an insane. person? The latter suggestion
found supporters.
But. in the nature of things. Brown was
bound to die. He scorned the imputation
of responsibility. and he would not sue
for pardon. But had he sued it would
have been in vain. The Governor Of Vir-
ginia was a strong and unyielding man.
whe saw in the Harpers Ferry episode a
challenge: and he accepted 1t. The hour
had struck, and the governor took his
stand.
That momentous drama was enacted
fifty years ago. 1t hurried the beginning
of the civil war The war came on, four
years of appalling conflict followed, and
in the midst of 1t the institution Of slavery
was abolished. What Brown had pressed
and Wise resisted had come to pass.
The appointment is just announced OF
Henry A. Wise to be q district attorney
for the state of New York. He Is a
grandson and the namesake of the famous
Governor of Virginia. He is a young law
yer of ability and distinction. and one
| of the republican leaders of the state IN
which John Browns body Is buried. Were
Brown alive he and young Wise might
walk to the polls together, arm In arm,
and doubtless would cast their ballots for
the same candidates.
Time brings about some striking
changes Blood. we are told. will tell 1t
will. The Wise of fifty years ago acted
in Office according to his lights and under
the responsibilities of his station. He
| took his side. and lived up to it. The
Wise of today acts according to his lights.
and makes his own appraisement of Nv
ing issues. He is a member of the party
| that abolished slavery, not because OF
that act, but because it stands for what
he considers the best interests Of the
country. And who shall say that, IL liv-
ing. the grandfather himself might not
belong to the republican party?

Once more the breezes whisper soft
That spring is on the way;
Once more the skies are blue aloft
And flowers are blossoming gay.
And yet a note Of discord drear
Sweeps through the song sublime.
With fretted ear you seem to hear,
Its almost moving time!"
Once more the furniture will range
In an array so sad
Out on the sidewalk as we change
To worse. perchance, from bad

Despite its jocund chime.

Brownsville Court of Inquiry.

Capt Charles r. Rowland. 21st Infantry.
was named as recorder of the court
Here is assurance of justice for all
parties concerned The rank of the Off
GERS, their long experience in army life
and their high personal characters leave
nothing to he desired, either for the dis
charged soldiers. or for an orderly and
impartial effort to fix the blame for the
Texas tragedy. And justice is all that
anybody should desire.
Here is full answer too. to those who
saw in the Foraker bill only sly way of
rea Emitting all the troopers to the army.
Such court can be depended upon not to
/, slight it's work. IT knows the proper pro-
cedure. and will show the courage of its
knowledge. 1t will sit neither to rebuke
the action of Mr.. Roosevelt nor confirm
1t. but to try the case Oh its merits
The matter may appear more difficult
to civilians than to soldiers. 1t has been
very much muddled by haste and the per-
formances of amateur detectives, but
maybe not SO as to balk men competent
for the inquiry and approaching 1T from
the viewpoint of an important public
duty. When they take it I'm hand, and
employ all the means at their command
for getting at the truth, the truth may be
nearer the suface than has hitherto ap
peared.
The country does not demand, and
would not get II 1t did demand, the white
washing Of the battalion by this court,
If there are guilty men among the dis
charged troopers it wants them exposed
and put in the way Of punishment. 1t
simply wants to be Shown" Its in
terest in the troopers Is highly credit
able. They appeal to 1t both by reason
of their long and honorable service to
the country and their humble condition.
The great majority of them were without
homes outside Of Uncle Sans barracks,
and Without influential friends, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt's order thrust them out in
dishonor with empty pockets into the
streets :
Whether six or sixty men shot up
Brownsville is not SO much to the point
as whether just one of the discharged
troopers is innocent. and has been carry
ing an undeserved badge of shame since
he was stripped of his uniform. Speak
ing in Dublinese. give even the black man
a chance for his white alley. No drum
r head proceedings in time of peace. Dis
ciplin6 in the army is essential to its
strength and usefulness. but if history
counts for anything discipline is never
secured by terrorism and tyranny. In
this country the soldier does not cease
10 be citizen because OF his enlistment,
and should have mans chance in every
thing concerning him.
The report Of this court and the action
to follow 1t will close an incident which
has stirred the country profoundly. but
long enough, and all will welcome the
end.

Eastern and Southern Democrats.

The eastern democrats in the House
complain that Mr.. Clark's leadership is
sectional, and base the charge on the fact
that he did not place the name OF single
one of their number on the list of the
committee he proposed to revise the rules.
If the omission was an oversight It was
unfortunate; il of design 1t was a mistake.
Nothing is palmer than that the demo-
cratic party needs to grow in the east II
it Is ever to return to power. The west
is not promising territory. Three times
the combination of the south and the west
has failed. Mr.. Bryan could not deliver
the western goods. Twice the combina-
ton of the south and the east succeeded.
MIR. Cleveland did deliver the goods. Judge
Parker could not, but he was HANDICAP ped
by an eastern support which was as OBJ
jectionable at home as elsewhere. He
was rated as q stooipigeon of Wall street.
But how is democracy to grow In the
east unless cultivated? II eastern men Of
that faith sent to Congress are to be dis
trusted and snubbed, what Is bound to be
the effect at home?
Mr.. Fitzgerald made a telling point
when he asked. why. after complimehting
him I'm public and private on his thorough
knowledge of parliamentary law, Mr..
Clark had left him of committee pro-
posed to revise the whole House proce-
dure. Mr.. Clarks reply was not happy.
He merely asserted that Mr.. Fitzgerald s
course in insisting immediate action
on the rules on lines Of his own justified
the omission. But that course was not
taken until Mr.. Clark's proposition had
been rejected by the largest majority the
days session produced.
As matter Of fact, as things stand,
there Is little union OF sentiment on
any important proposition between the
southern and the eastern democrats now
in ONCE. They are not facing in the
same direction as respects the tariff. the
currency or the trusts. Mr.. Clark and
his friends would write tariff law on
the booksi which eastern democrats would
deplore; would revise the currency laws
in a way that eastern fnanciers Of both
parties would regard as calamitous to
public credit; would soak the trusts
in a way that would upset many branches
of business.
This is why the campaigns of Mr..
Bryan fail The east after his noniina.
ton sulks or bolts. He and the demo-
cratic leaders Of that section are not
facing in the same direction. They do
not trust him, and probably he does not
trust them.
The growth of democracy in the east,
then, depends on the decrease of Bryan
ism in the south. Is growth desired on
those terms? The Clarks and the Fitz-
geralds are miles apart. Can they be
brought together? Can Mr.. Clark be
weaned from. the worship of the peerless
leader and all for which he stands? Or
Mr. Fitzgerald from that brand Of DEM
ocracy which is still designated as
Clevelandism? The war in Congress has
opened. If it goes on there is no telling
what the end may be before 1912. Ii
peace is possible between the two fac
tions the peacemakers would do well to
get busy.
