The Tribune has expressed its opinion
freely and candIdlv with respect to
the action of the Senate in insisting
upon keeping ,hc army scattered and
held in small detachmcnts in various
useless posts throughout the country,
TO the destruction of its military ef-
liciency In so expressing ourselves,

ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE.

The long threatened anthracite coal
strike appears to be upon the
country, The order has gone out
from the miners organizations to
stop work tonight, pending the
settlement Of the differences be-
tween the miners and the operators
1t is given out that a compromise may
soon be reached, but the miners, to ac-
centuate their position, will strike to-
night, and remain out until that set
tlement is effected.
President Bacr, however, head of the
mines and coal roads, is rather stiff
customer to deal with. When the strike
was on before, he gave it out openly
that '"God in His infinite wisdom had
entrusted the property interests of the
country to him and to men like him,
therefore he would act in God S stead
in protecting the property interests
thus confided to him by the Almighty
in trust for the stockholders Of his
mines and railroads, When a man Is
in state of mind like that, and there
is no indication that President Baer has
changed in the least, he is not an easy
customer TO deal with. The very hard.
est tussles that humanity has had to
engage in have been against the pre-
lenses of men who claimed TO represent
God in the affairs Of mankind; and the
earnestpess which these indIvid-
uaIs who claim to be God S representa-
tives display in the assertion of their
mediumship between God and man, does
not in any way tend TO ease the sltua'
| ton, but quite the reverse.
If President Baer is found now to be
in a more complaisant state of mind
than he was formerly, it will be a joy
| full surprise to the country; but, after
all. it will be a surprise 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the optimistic
| feeling which indicates n short preva
lence of the strike, may turn out to be
true. for an anthracite coal strike is sc
exceedingly damaging to the industries
and business of such large interests III

trv is unfavora1y affected thereby,

RooSEvELT'S NEW WARCRY.

In his address at st. Paul, Col.
Roosevelt gave expression TO a new
outburst of demagogy. This was ''The
Welfare of the Farmers, and its un-
derlying spirit is reversal of his for
mer endorsement of the Canadian reci
enemy's IS country on that proposition,
and saw fit to emphasize his reversed
state Of mind on that treaty. Evi-
IDENTIFY this reversal is simply TO
"catch the farmer vote for delegates
that will support him in the National
Republican convention. But it is not
in the least likely that his demsgogic,
sbifty change will fool the farmers Of
Minnesota.
Last year Col. Roosevelt was a firm
and outspoken supporter of Canadian
reciprocity, voicing his approval in the
following language:
| have the peculiar pleasure TO say a
word OF congratula ton to you and all of
us upon the likelihood that We shall soon
have closer reciprocal tariff and trade re-
lations with the great nation to the north
OF us.
This year, however, he is glad that
the rosy prospect which he looked upon
with so much favor last year has
been blighted, and his glib censure Of
that treaty is expressed in the follow
ing words:
The reciprocity treaty is now dead. In
any further attempt by reciprocity treaty
or otherwise 10 bring about rearrange-
ment OF the tariff. there must be no dis
elimination against the farmer. no effort
TO make him paw the entire burden OF
reduction.
1t is a good thing that Col. Roosevelt
does not depend upon consistency for
his strength before the people. He
was for the Canadian reciprocity treaty
now ne is against il. He was for the
New York primary law, now he is
against it, He generally makes out TO
range himself on both sides Of any
| given question with as little lapse OF
time as possible.
And vet again: In 1896 Mr.. Roose
welt was with the Supreme Couri
against the income tax. Now ne is de
uouncing that same decision. There II
no stability in him.
His shifty, erratie mind IS wei
illustrated in recent publication
made by the New York World Of
letter dated at the White House. Feb
ruary 30, 1904, and signed by william
Loeb, Jr., Secretary to the President
saying to a st. Louis man that th'
President strongly objected to having
n previous letter which he had written
published in whole or In part, an'
clinching that objection by saying 'i
il should appear, he would feel oblige'
TO take steps to repudiate it. - Tha

THE INHERITANCE TAX.

The newspaper reading public has
undoubtedly noticed that Mr.. Henry
Phipps of Pittsburgh has quite recently
transferred TO his sons $4,000, 600
worth Of property chiefly real estate.
4 month or so before, he gave them
may give them all the rest of his prop.
ertv before he dies. Some of that prop.
orty was in Salt Lake City, and this
was transferred with the $4,000, ,00C
lump.
The Boston Traveller sees in this
method Of Mr.. Phipps an effort to
avoid the inheritance tax, and it point:
out that if this example is generally
followed there would be no inheritance
left 10 tax, upon the death of extremely
| rich men.
1t is quite true, as our Boston con
temporary indicates, that il this exam
pie of Mr.. Phipps should be generally
| followed. there would not be muci
chance left to apply the inheritance
tax; but very few men transfer then
property as Mr.. Pbipps is doing, nor il
it clear that he is doing this with Z
view Of evading the inheritance tax
still, as the Traveller says, that woulC
be the effect Of it.
The case. however, could be reached
in another way Just as easily, and tina
is by taxing the transfers of real estate

THE SEASON OF FLOODS.

Accounts from the Mississippi valley
tell of rising waters and flooded cities.
The Ohio is destroying millions Of dol
lars in values; tho Mississippi is at
danger stage, and the Missouri is Join
ing its forces with the others TO add
TO the floods.
1t seems amazing in this day Of
scientific engineering. when VIC can
cut through the mountain chain of u
continent to make a great ship canal at
the lsthmus. when every element in the
problem OF water control is fully
known, and the skill and means TO
solve those problems arc right at hand,
that rich. ready, Ingenious. practical,
and able people like our own will allow
this waste by floods 10 20 on year after
year The losses suffered in these
floods would in the course Of few
years amount TO enough 10 provide
means of preventing their recurrence,
and tho way Of providing this remedy
is open and known.
That way is TO store or impound the
flood waters in the tributaries of the
great streams and in the streams them,
selves This would afford tho double
advantage Of preventing floods and
cqualizing the flow of the streams So
that By means Of the release Of the
stored waters i'm the later season Of low
water, the navigation Of the rivers
would be helped There is ample oppor-
tunity to store the flood waters, by
reservoirs and dams, and by raising the
levels of lakes found so numerous at
the hcadwatcrs Of the Mississippi aud
other streams. The double advantages
Of holding back the flood waters and
later releasing them to reinforce the
channels when the waters get low, IS so
obvious and Of such high Importance,
that II il Il reproach to us as a people
hat we suffer these repeated floods
the season.
The ancients were far ahead Of IL
in this matter Of handling waters Of
rivers: not ahead Of us in knowing how

pirates and the Tigris in way that
has never been even approached since
their time.
But we can do as much for American
rivers as the ancient peoples did for the
Euphrates and the 1'igris; rs much as
the British have done and are con
templating for the Nile. We have the
engineering skill, as is demonstrated by
the jettying of the mouth of the Mis-.

plan of the Taft opposers is to contest
