NO PLACE FOR A GOLD MINE.

The news that gold in paying guam
titles has been found in New Hamp-
shire is interesting, but it is news an
well-wishers of the State will hone is
not true. Already farmers are reported
to have deserted their fields and set
out prospecting, equipped with nick
axes, shovels, crowbars and dynamite.
Is not the symptom ominous of the
disturbing conditions to come if the
discovery is confirmed?
II is difficult to conceive of anything
better calculated to demoralize the
even tenor of life in the New England
State at this day than the presence of
a gold mine, unless it were a diamond
field. 1t would be a magnet to draw
not only the farmer from his plough
but the mercants from his store and
the factory worker from the loom.
Peaceful industry would be disrupted

CHEAP COAL, CHEAP LABOR.

The recent coal strike which lasted
nearly three months was a severe test
of the respective powers of endurance
of capital and labor. This strike af-
fected practically every industry in
England, enormously increased unem-
ployment, put the whole nation TO
great loss and inconvenience, and pro-
duced acute distress everywhere. How
ever, each side felt that it had to go
through to the bitter end. and a COM
promise was finally made possible only
through the Intervention of the gov
ernment, which provided a fund of
C 100000 to be applied towards the
equalization of wages under certain
conditions.
This settlement carried with it a
very material reduction in the fixed
wages of the miners, but gave them
a certain contingent interest in the
net profits of the mines. The settle
ment of this strike had a very whole
some effect on the entire labor situa-
ton in England, and will probably put
an end to the campaign for the ma
tionalization of the coal fields as we'll
as to the agitation for state ownership
of railroads.
/ seriously doubt, however, whether
the profit sharing scheme win work
out successfully, first because it win
lead to eternal disputes as to what are
profits and what are proper charges of
operation, and besides they are trying
to hold capital down to so low a re-
turn that initiative and speculative
developments of new coal properties
will well-nigh cease.
This may ultimately have serious
consequences for England, because
cheap coal and cheap labor have been
her two chief industrial advantages in
the past. A population of nearly fifty
million people living in so small a
space as England constitutes a highly
artificial community. and as the nation
could not possibly feed itself without
heavy imports ii necessarily depends
on its export trade to keep itself
alive.-R. S. Hecht in the Journal of
the American Bankers Association.

THE SAFETY VALVE
From the New York Evening Post

New York police have seldom given
more finished exhibition OF whai
they can do to create disorder than
they staged yesterday. Apparently
they feared that the sky would fan
if one Ledoux was allowed to dis
tribute buns 10 unemployed men or
TO so through the motions of auction
ing off one or two Of the jobless or 70
make them a speech. To prevent the
contamination of any of these heinous
/ offences reserves were called out in
drOves. All day they kept after the
terrible LedOux. Twice they were
compelled to mobilize their fun
strength against the army of the un-
employed who threatened to march
right up the public streets and even
to hire a hall. At / a. m. victory
rested with the police. They had put
down Ledoux, incensed thousands of
peaceful men, and thrown the glamour
of persecution around the head Of a
man whom they had found no oc-
casion to arrest. An appropriate end
was put TO a perfect day by Chief
Inspector Lahey's reply to a request
for an explanation Of these tactics.

explanation. Good night"
If this series of incidents had oc-
CURED in a European city, we should
know how to characterize it. Such
doings. we would have said, are per-
fectly natural in countries where peo-
pie have not won their freedom. They
are an excellent illustration Of the
sort of thing which our forefathers
would not stand and which even the
Old World will not stand forever.
Some day people over there will find
out that suppression of such elemen-
tary rights as those of freedom Of
speech and assembly only increases
the demand for those rights until it
becomes irresistible. II they are re
fused beyond certain point, there
is an explosion.
This is what we would have said II
the series of incidents which we have
described had occurred in a European
city. They did not occur in a Euro
pean city. What is more, they hardly
could occur in the biggest of all
European cities. London is famous
for her Hyde Park meetings, at which

Of the New World TO attempt to sup
