BAREFACHD ROBBERY IN COAL PRICES.

m S the figures are analysed by experts the increase of
IA twenty-five cents a ton in the price of domestic anthracite
stands out in clearer light as a gigantic and barefaced
robbery of householders. They will pay ten cents a ton for
increase of wages, FIVE cents for other items of increased cost
not specified, and ten cents, or 8. clear bonus of 100000 a year,
because the operators, or the railroads that carry the coal and
virtually own the mines, "need the money" Ten years ago the
companies did the same trick, swelling their annual net revenues
$50 100000 by making the public pay sixtyeight cents a ton
more on account of a thrty.two cent advance in cost of mining.
AS the railroads pocket the greater part of this forced levy on
consumers in the form of anthracite freight rates averaging
three times those on bituminous coal, here is a plain case for in.
reference blythe Interstate Commerce Commission.

ENdLAND's INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.

TIA NGLANDS Whitsuntide holiday season, usually the gayest
IL time for that season, opens ominousy. A procession of
100000 strikers through the streets of London, announc-
ing a purpose to blockade every port in the kingdom, does not
argue much joy or comfort for Britons. The labor war declared
by the transport workers, unless settled, means hunger for mil
lions. The government is confronted with probably a worse
crisis than the recent coal strike, and the problem will be much
harder to solve, as i has to deal with a variety of occupations
and of wage scales. Signs are multiplying that Great Britain
has entered upon an era of industrial revolution.

A WILSON ElAsCo IN JERSEY CITY.

HERE was a painful contrast in the ~attendances at the
Il wilson meeting in Jersey City on Saturday night as COM
pared with those addressed by Roosevelt and Taft. All
the meetings were held in the High School auditorium. Roose-
welt packed the hall, Taft filed it, while at the Wilson meeting
the hall was partially filled, although every device had been
employed to draw a crowd and Congressional speakers had been
brought from Washington to serve as attractions. An overflow
meeting arranged for was abandoned. This was in the candi-
dates own State and in a city where tens of thousands had
turned out to greet other presidential candidates. If Speaker
CLARK, abandoning his duties at Washington for an evening, had
come to a New Jersey city to speak of his candidacy would he
have suffered by comparison with Taft? Would he have needed
fireworks and a brass band to attract an audience?

THE BURDEN OF THE PAUpER INSANE.

~ LARGE percentage of the population of our insane asy-
~ lums are aliens and many of them were deliberately
shipped to this country by institutions and individuals
in Europe. New York has Ia, 900 of these demented aliens in
her asylums and there are many in the overcrowded New Jersey
institutions, all of them a charge on the public. By an arrange
ment made with the steamship companies that brought them to
our shores no less than 1000 of the alien mnatics in New York
are to be shipped back to the places they came from. AS the
maintenance of these unfortunates costs the State $1,000, 900
annually that much burden will be taken off the State. The
burden of New Jersey can also be relieved, and in two ways.
One is suggested by the New York plan Another was proposed
several years ago by Governor Stokes, namely, to search out the
relatives of pauper patients and compel those who are able
financially to assume the expense of maintenance. II has been
asserted that there are many inmates of our insane hospitals
whose care is not Justly chargeable to public charity.

TN pom the result of the Republican primaries in New Jersey
Ii tomorrow depends the doubt that, If not effectuany wiped
out by this result, will carry the RooseveltTaft struggle
to Chicago, with all it implies. If Taft is overwhelmed in this
State then there will be little use for any more figuring. Man
ager McKinleys slate of delegates will go to smash. If the
hopes of the Taft managers of a majority of the New Jersey
delegates should materaHze the backbone of the Republican
national committee will stifen, threatened detection of delegates
will be arrested and Chicago will witness scenes without a
parallel in American politics. And what then will be the after
nnath?

THE STATE PRIMARIES TOMORROW.

HE primary election polls will open tomorrow at 1 p. m.
Ii and voting will continue for eight hours, the polls closing
at 9. The returns of the election should not be long de-
layed. In each Congressional district the names of two district
delegates and four delegates-atlarge are to be voted on, and
as the number of ballots cast in each primary will be only a
percentage of the party vote, the count of the vote in either pri-
mary will not exceed onethird of the vote cast in a regular
election, when the ballots of all parties go into the same ballot
box. Unless the vote is close and in dispute in some districts
the results in the State will probably be known before midnight.

CHESTNUT BLIGHT STILL BAFFLING.

sTa HUS far science appears to be helpless against the chestnut
blight that is destroying one of our most beautiful and
useful forest growths. Professor W. G. Farlow, a noted
authority. is frankly pessimistic. He finds mo reason to suppose
that it can be seriously checked, much less extirpated, by any
means which can be generally adopted But man has con-
quered greater foes among the destructive forces OF nature, and

THE AMERICAN POLICEMAN IN CUBA.

NJICK and resolute action in Cuba by our government may
NY avert the horrors of a savage race war and prevent the
most serious complications with European powers. Cubas
government is too feeble as yet to cope with such an emergency
and dependence on it to put down an uprising of the blacks
would be monumental folly. And we have every warrant in
tbe Platt amendment to the Cuban Constitution for taking a
hand in the present trouble before it reaches an acute stage.

ALASKA NATIVES
 ARE PROTESTING
object to Regulations Preventing Them From Taking Fur
 Seal in Ocean

The natives of Alaska have voiced dignifled and unanswer- able protest against the rcgula- tions which forbid them to en- gage in the business which they and their ancestors have follow cd from time immemorial, of talk ing fur seal in the open ocean, off shore. It IS protest which should have some weight, and it. is a protest which could be made with equal force by the natives of this state living on the ocean shores.
 None of the coast tribes, citl- tr in Alaska or in this state, have ever asked or received bOuntlcS or annuilieS from the govern mcnL of the United States. They have never asked or received a dollar for their lands taken. They have been self-suppnrling, as no other aboriginal people within the limits of the United States have ever been. They have seen their primitive means of SubSiSl- cncG taken from them and they have rndravurrh. and with much success, to adapt Themselves tn new conditions; but they are for bidilrn. in some instances. tU avail themselves of the new con diIionS.
