Sheriff John Logan the la~-abtdfng citizens
Of Florida and the country, take off their hats
to you for yoar he1nanness, for your quick w.t.
and for your bringing to bear on, that mob the
full realization of what the law demands of
them. ANY sheriff can at any time call out the
possee conaftatus TO lfelp him hume or hold q
prisoner any sheriff can Immediately, and on the

law, or as a member of the posse conitatus duly
called to help by the sheriff, that must obey
the call and accept the duties, answer heavily
to the law whose majesty he has insuted and
cast contumely- on.
1t would have been an easy thing to step aside
before this body of men, incensed at the awful
ness of the crime with which this negro was
charged. It would have been easy to think that
the law had been overcome by mob violence. 1t
would have Been easy not to recognize face in
the assembly. But not for John Logan. His
"Men, l know every face Of you" declared to
them that there would be stern hereafter for
them if this thing went further. His a hereby
feputize you sworn officers Of the law, and
charge you to deliver this prisoner safely in the
comfy jail" stunned them into obedience. After
all we more than apt to obey the mandate of
law when it comes to us directly and in com
handing tone.
Sheriff Logan has showed other sherifrs how
they may be masters of any like situation here
after. Take the would-be lawess mob and con-
wort it instantly into Gordon of officers of the
law sworn to protect no less jealously than tire
sheriff himself, the prisoner. 1t takes man to
do that; and scarce at such times. We
glory in the thought that Florida sheriff
knows how to get help from tho very men who
we're hell-bent on taking his prisoner from him.

THE COAL STRIKE.

England is faced with The greatest labor crisis
In her history 1t is mistake however, to assume
sthat the dispute is wholly economic strike for
standard Of Gving-it is largely political, and its
decision will determine the policy Of Great Britain
on many questions aside from that Of miners
wages
The actual casus belli-which is. Of course, noy
the whole issue-is about this: Miners formerly
were paid in proportion to the coal mined. To
stimulate industry in the war, mining was put upon
per diem basis, with uniform wages for all mine
laborers. Prices OF coal have now greatly de-
sclmed. partly. it is said, because France is dis
posing Of the supplies from the 12uhr valley at
less than cost of mining, and British mine owners
claim that they can moi maintain the wage
scale The miners are willing to accept cut from
The mine-owncrs, but they demand that the gov
z eminent Fay them subsidy on their labor, equal
TO The difference between the earning power of
! The mines and their former wages
The strike, therefore, is really against the gov
eminent, although. ostensbly, and perhaps in legal
contemplation, against the mine
There are one million coal miners involved in
the strike Another million are in the railway and
dock laborers' unions. Counting five persons to
family this makes total of ten million persons,
or one-fourth the population of England, lined up
against the government The remaining thirty
millions might employ force to suppress the strike.
but with the docks railways and mines tied up, the
marshaling of large military forces, with supplies
would be an mpossibility while there is no reason
to suppose that the non-striking population is
UNANIMOUSLY against the miners On the contrary.
all indications point to a victory by the strikers
which will be decisive in proportion to theeforts
used by the government to suppress them, and
which may easily amount 10 virtual revolution.
Such situation in America would mean civil
war. If it does not mean that in England it is
I because the forces arayed against the govern
ment are looked upon as nvincible.

PARALLELS OF SAFED THE SAGE

There in certain city two boys. And
when the Spring was alluring and they listened
unto the Call of tho Wild. And they wenA both
of them, Ott Of the city, and sat them down by
certain Stream. And they cssaycd to fish,.
But one Of these boys. before he went took
Tomato Can aud Hoe, and went into the Back
Yard. and there digged until he had Il Dozen
Worms and Blister. But the other boy liked
to fish and did not like to Dig Worms
And it came to pass at the end of the day, that
they returned home. both of them. But one of
them had string of fish and Sunburnt Nose
and the other had only Sunburnt Nose.
And it came to pass that those two boys grew
unto Manhood. And one Of them before he be-
gan any New Enterprise, went into the Back
Yard Of enterprise, and did lot of hard digging
And the other just shouldered his pole and went
into the matter, and watched his Cork placidly
floating apon the Surface of the Stream and new
going under.
And the history of one of these men was a
Succession of Successes, and the other was a
Series of Sherff's Sales.
And when | considered these matters | said,
Life is Fish Pond. but it is more than that 1t
is also a Back Yard out of which Worms are to
be digged with much Arduous Toll
And other things being equal, mans String
Of Fish is proportional unto the Size of his Tin
Can of Bait, and the number of blisters in his
hands that were made by the Hoe Handle
For while the Hoe Handle is Tess, pleasant
to the hand than the Fishing Pole. it is an I'm
portant Element in the successful catching of
Fish.
