MIST RE NO STRIKE.

When President Wilson SenuS conifnu- nications 10 both the miners and opera tors in the anthracite region to the ef- feet that there must be no strike he takes the right position and does so at time which should be effective in pro- ducing desired results.
 And the proposition he puts up to them in case they are not able to agree is a fair one. when he insists that the coun- try must be saved the detrimental ef- fleets of strike in such an industry as coal mining especially when conditions are what they are in the work of recon struction following the war.
 No one can ask for anything different than an adjustment of the demands fol wage increases according to the facts IL has been agreed that whatever agree ment is reached shall be retroactive tC Inc first of April when the old agree ment ended. That meant the continua ion of the coal mining during the dis sussion of the demands and a most i'm por.ant consideration.
 IL is highly important that there should not be any interruption in th' ,roduction of coal. The country has no recovered from the effects of the un warranted strike among the soft coa miners and it will firmly back up tn president when he says that there no only should not be a strike but that ther must not be one.
 Thus when the president proposes, il case an agreement cannot be reachet among themselves that a commission b appointed by him the same as was fl nally done in the bituminous dispute h is on solid ground. Neither side can Iex beet that the adjustment will be base upon anything but the facts and sue would be insisted upon by a fedora commission which as in the case of tn previous one would include a represen .ative of the public. This would mea m additional delay, and for that req son the committees now, at work ma be spurred on to an early decison bu wen with the delay the adjustmen would carry back pay to the first C April SO that full benefit would be gair d.
 Too much emphasis however cannot | aid upon the point that there must | SO strike.

HAVING A LIMIT,

In connection with the fighting of the high cost of living the point has been urged that a strong influence would be exerted on the situation if there was a refusal on the part of the consumer to buy the high priced goods instead of giv- ing the dealers the impression that only the high priced goods would be pur- chased. In other words the position is taken that it is the eagerness to pay the high prices that has resulted in many of the large increases, whereas a firm stand against them would have a beneficial effect.
 One instance of how it works to have price limit and to hold to it is illus trated by the way in which a cargo of over 200 tons of butter sent from this country to Rotterdam was refused be- cause the price was considered too high by the Germans to whom it was consign- ed. The fact that the butter was re- fused did not result in it being sold al such a price as they would give, but 'ir the cargo being brought back to this country.
 It was considered that inasrnuch as Germany was in great need of fats that it would be willing to pay anything ask ed for the butter. In spite of the great shortage. however, the Germans had the courage to turn aside this relief. Thougf greatly needed they refused to pay tht price, and the butter was. brought bacl to this country with the round triI freight charge attached and it is to bt presumed that those who are buying goods for which only the highest pricel are charged are investing in this butte 1 which the Germans declined to purchase If there was more of this same deter imitation on the part of the purchasini public many of the instances of pric boosting would be frustrated and ther would be no chance to claim that tn
 high prices were charged because tn
 goods could be sold in no other way

THE ARMENIAN BOUNDARY,

When it is declared in response to the -equest from abroad that this country Till act as the arbitrator in the case of he boundaries of Armenia it means that here is no desirable job going to be un- iertaken, but if we are to believe the expressions which have come from that region the fact that the United States will undertake the task will be vel somed with the most enthusiasm by all concerned.
 Armenia has it's ideas as to what ter. :itory it should have while it's neighbors on all sides are likewise strong mind d and even now the Armenians are be. Ing warred upon by those who are op- posed to it. There are also the portions of Asia Minor which European coun- tries are guarding with a jealous eye They offer much greater promises thar does Armenia and therefore they will bt well taken care of but there is neet nevertheless of determining what Ar menia should include, and just where the complete boundary should be estab lished.

Seventh Convention.


 The seventh republican national con vention, which met in Chicago. June 1880. will always remain historic. Not only did it result in the party's nomin- ation of it's first dark horse'' bl,t al so 1t marked the beginning and the; end of third-term presidential aspirations.
 Once more James G. Blain was the paramount leader of his party, and once more Roscoe Conkling, in his embittered personal antagonism, undertook to foil his hated party rival He used Gener- al Grant as the means to this end-ablv seconded by Cameron and Logan and other deathless Grant adherents.
 Grant had just returned from a tri- umphal tour around the world and stood upon a pinnacle. The fact that an early Pennsylvania state convention declared against third terms, and that the house i of representatives made similar proc lamation by vote of 234 to IS, did not | stop the Crank campaign
 1 He went into the convention with 3oA votes Sharp practices were used ir | seating some contested delegates and ir | seeking to break the inhibition against | the unit rule,' and in a sensational at. | tempt by Conkling to force a pledge that every delegate participating in tht convention would be bound by it's deci sion and would support the nominee | But, these things aside. the fidelity O. | the Grant forces was marvellous They never broke. Grant still had his 30- votes-with two added-on the final bal lot Once he reached 513 - (necessar, to choice, 379), Conkling presented hi 1 name in a speech which will live al second only to Infiolsoll's effort on be helf of Blaine, in 1876.
 James A. Garfield of Ohio presente, | the name of John Sherman, also of Ohio in another great speech which prob. ably had much to do with the ultimat outcome, although not as Garfield orig inally intended. Washburne, Edmunds an Windom also were formally presented I On the first ballot Blaine had 2S
 votes-a figure which never grew. O. the second ballot one lone delegat
 swung to Garfield. Thus dead-lockeC
 there were few changes though one TO . call after another. On the twenty-thir ballot Garfield .rose to two votes. O i the thirty-fiftf ballot Blaines strengtl switched to Garfield, to be followed O
 the next test by practically all save th old original Grant group.
 Thus Garfield was nominated. And c one ballot Chester A. Arthur of Ne , York was put in second place-his nea, , est contender being EIihu B. Wasl burne of Illinois. The platform follow , ed closely the outline of four years pr, : vious, the only novelty being a mandar , i, in favor of Chinese exclusion.
