Represeatatives of 20,40 coal miners ret last week in yurg and decided to reduce their own scale of wages in order to obtain employment. They were con- fronted with a serious ccndition and be- tween starvation and a voluntary accept- ance ef the natural results of the depressed state of trade that forced the mine owners to reduce expenses they were persuaded to choose the latter, especially as the field was full of urerganized non-union men to work for a low wage. This over- of labor results from the suspension ctories that make the heaviest demand upon the coal mines. The line of bricks set up by the laws of economics when once started to toppling falls throughout its length. The touch that overturned the first brick was, according to the manufacturers themselves, the threat to change the nation’s financial sys- tem. Mill owners feared to face the pros- pect of a glutted market and a depreciated currency. To prevent over-stocking and to save capital they suspended operations, ran half time, or changed their line of pro- duction. Industries affected by each other and commonly by the same causes have in turn been paralyzed. The whole line of ks has fallen. —+ oe Dr. G. Brown Goode. ‘The shockingly sudden death of Dr. G. Brown Goode robs the nation of a scientist of unusual attainments and promise and takes from the city one of its best-known and best-loved residents. Dr. Gcode was remarkable for the intelligent zeal that characterized his labors in the intefests of science and of the great institutions of which he formed an active and important factor. As a scientist he was a broad, many-sided man, and his fame in more than one branch of Inquiry has already reached other lands, and the scientific world has often felt the influence of his thought. With all his scientific attain- s, he was gifted with a talent for or- ation and administration, and the sent completeness of the National Mu- seum, of which he was director-in-chief, is universally accredited to his careful thought and indefatigable energy. Indeed, it is feared that this intense devotion to his work was the main cause that shat- tered his health and ended his life at a time when he was ripening into the perfec- tion of his usefulness to the country and to the cause of science. —__-o—__ If the populist party ever sends out an- ether vice presidential Invitation, as a Matter of philanthropy Mr. Watson will see to it that the customary R. S. V. P. attachment is not omitted. SSS ee Mr. Bryan refrains from indulging in any ecmplaint because Vermont went ahead and voted before he had time to go up and hypnctize it from the rear platform. —+-_____ No Mugwumps This Year, Ex-Congressman Everett of Massachu- setts, on his way as a delegate to the sound money convention at Indianapolis, stopped off at Syracuse and gave the sound money democrats of New York, then in session, a word of brotherly encouragement. He praised the third ticket movement, and spoke of it as another mugwump demon- stration. Mr. Everett was among the re- publicans to earn the name of mugwump in ise4, and he evidently still takes pride in wearing it. It ts to be doubted, however, if the word is properly applicable to those democrats who are engaged in this year’s independent movement. For, as a matter of fact, this movement differs from that of 1384 in some very radical particulars. The republican protest in 1884 was purely personal. The platform itself would not have cost the party one single vote. It was @ clear and ringing enunciation of widely- recognized republican principles, and as such would have commanded a full party support. The objection was to Mr. Blaine. During a long and brilliant career, that re- markable man had made some powerful eremies, and they now came forward to oppose him. It was a battle royal, but Mr. Blaine went down. His personal opponents rejected a platform containing all of the tenets to which they held as partisans, rather than by accepting it to help put him in the White House. This democratic protest !s aimed entirely at the platform. There is nothing personal whatever in it. The little feeling that exists against Mr. Bryan grows entirely out of his willingness to stand on and to champion such a deliverance. He is too young a man, and has had altogether too brief a public career to have awakened ary personal hostility. But the sound money democrats denounce the platform as con- taining only populistic heresies, and there- fore as unworthy of democratic support. They would not support any man standing on it. The more sincere the man ccm- mitted to the advancement of such doc- trines if elected, the stronger their cCrposi- tion would be. On the other hand, if the Chicago convention had written a platform even in some measure resembling the In- dianapolis deliverance, the taking of a yeung and an untried man to carry the standard would have cut no figure what- ever with them. The removal of the personal equation from the problem makes all the diiference in the world. The mugwump is the man who either wants to play Big Indian him- self, or wants a controlling voice in the decision of who shall Play the part. Per- sonality is everything with him. Mr. Ever- ett himself is not a mugwump this year, He is now fighting a platform, ard only in- cidentally the candidate standing on it. In 1SS4 he fought the candidate, and only in- cidentally the platform. — + © ____ The Benning Abattoir. The complaint of the citizens of Benning against the abattoir at the Union Stock Yards in that suburb opens up another municipal problem. These establishments are in certain respects nuisances even un- der the most favorable circumstances and it Is a serious question in all municipalities as to the best method of location and su- pervision for producing a minimum of dis- comfort to neighboring citizens. They are cf course necessary evils and some section of the community must tolerate them. But they can be so conducted as to offend the senses either more or less according to the methods employed. The usual course in Europe among the large municipalities is for the community to own the abattoir and to lease the privileges so as to pro- duce a considerable revenue and yet give the city direct supervision and control more completely than through the medium ef the health regulations. In this way these establishments are usually kept com- paratively clean and inoffensive. The ex- perience of Europe is that such places can be maintained even In the midst of habi- tations without becoming dangerous or sericusly obnoxious through a system of careful supervision and the enforcement of hygienic principles. ———_+ ++ ___ The populist who vows that he will not shave off his whiskers until Bryan is elected will not attract the attention, even if he loses, that scme of his predecessors in that style of wager have se:ured. —++2—____ The German emperor has nearly com- pleted another picture and the art critics are debating on how far they can tell the truth without lapsing into lese majeste. +22 ___ The pictures purporting to show that Bryan had whiskers and shaved them off is probably a ruse to cause disaffection in the populist ranks. — += ____ Mr. Hill seems inclined to the view that there is no use in man’s getting his politi- cal economy mixed with’ his politics. —>+e—____ In Mr. Sewail’s opinion, it is time enough to think about resigning when he has se- cured the office. —>+e—____ SHOOTING STARS. A Demand for High Art. Oh, who will elevate the stage, So that the man who now despairs Can sit with soul unseared by rage And see above the hat she wears? A Suspicion. “I wonder why so many telephone oper- aters are women?” said the man who cul- tivates an Idle curiosity. “I don’t know,” replied the misanthrope, “urless it’s because the occupation puts them in a position to have the last word every time.” A Wrong Valuation. “Bliggins has a great estimate of his own importance,” remarked the politician’s ac- qvaintance. “He told me today that he always left himself in the hands of his friends.” “That's true. The trouble with Bliggins when he gets int» the hands of his friends is that he thinks he’s the ace of trumps when in reality he’s simply an off-color three-spot.”” Cornered. “Did yez see me in the p'rade?” said Mr. Dolan to his wife. “Ot did.” “Wasn't Oi a foine soight, thin?” “Yez wor indade. Of had ty look twolce ty re‘lize thot the mon that stepped along so loively an’ afsy ty the music wor me own husband thot warn’t-able ty walk aroun’ the corner ty the grocery lasht noight because av the rheumatism.” Had Put Them There. “I'm going to get out of politics,” said the ambitious man. ‘There’s nothing in it.” “I don’t blame you for getting out if you feel like it,” remarked Mr. Cumrox, theughtfully. “But when you say there’s nothing in it, you don’t speak advisedly. There are about two years of my time and check for five thousand dollars in it, to my personal knowledge.” A Biography. The world awoke in gusty Spring To hear the song-bird czrolling. With madrigals the south-wind strayed; And every dell and every glade Echoed the melodies he made. Then came the ardent Summer hour, When cherished buds burst into flower, When revelling roses drank the dew; When days were long and skies were blue And Fortune bade our dreams come true. And next the days of Autumn sent The dignity of calm content And frosty tintings touched the wood, And nature, all-beloved, stood Garbed in a glory vast and good. And last of all comes the caress, The slurnber-touch of weariness; And to his couch of sheltering snows With duty done, the old world goes And smiles that he shall find repose. —2____ Highly in Earnest.
