It will be remembered that in his first administration the filling of this office was a source of consider tion to him and caused him ta be sharply criticised by democrats of the District. Then, as now, Mr. Cleveland disregarded the “home rule” prineiple and appointed to the office a man who was not a resident of the District of Columbia. For a number of years the po- sition held by colored men, the present occupant being ex-United States Sen and it colored hle vexa- has been ator Bruce, seems to be understood that only need apply for the offic It is urged that the president would lave no difiiculty in finding a capable man of that race and of tic politices in the District, but he appears to have no dis- position to look for one.

The latest dispatches report the strikers to be still determined and preparing to renew hostilities, in which ovent undoubtedly more blood will be shed, for the authorities are ready to make for- midablo resistance to any attempt on the part of the strikers to interfere with the men who are at work or to injure property. The foreign element is largely in the m; jority among the coke workers, and it ap- pears that this element, Hungarians and Poles who do not speak to act independent ot speaking strikers. These people, generally very ignorant and of p nature, are capable of doing desperate thing: when cxasperated, as they now are, and as- suming the reports to be correct, the coke region is likely to be the of murderous work than has happencd there, In pro times about 17,000 cokers are employed in the Connellsville region, but recently half this number been kept at work. Many of the great mills that uso coke are closed and there has con sequently be falling off in the demand. much above the starvation point, have been falling because the price of coke has declined to an un- profitable point. The decision to still further reduce wages precipitated the strike. There Is, of course, nothing to be said in defense of the violence and lawle: that ha characterized the course of the strikers. On the contrary, it must be unqualifiedly con- demned. But that re- st the purpose to lower their already scant wages will not be regarded as unpardonable by any informed the wretched return they get for their hard labor and the existence they compelled to lead in consequence. A Philadelphia papc pseribes them as for part little more than savages, saying that they live like brutes, hive in ualor and filth, and eat the kind of food that is usually given only to hogs. How can It be otherwise with the wages they receive? Under the most favor- able conditions they are able to carn barely enough to subsist on and since wages have been reduced thelr sit become well ulgh intolerable. Hunger and privation will madden any class of people and these wretchied cokers would be less than human it they did make some effort to themselves their wives and children fror Many of these people, un- doubtedly, induced to this country by promises which the never realized, and their mise gives them measure of commiseration 1t theto to he mostly English, English- who W pro- poses the are sionate scene yet more less than neve ness these people should one as to miscrable the most fon ha: not save and starvation were to come ¥ have ble and hope- claim ast was to be expected th strikers would furnish mand g but now some o a at | hat less condition of a ter restric- it really fur nishes for additional legls lation in unless it be for the better enforcement of the contract labor law, Wble propor- into o course forelgn-born for upon text those who d immigration, valid this direction tions no reason violation of which a consider; tion of this the try. flooded with who are primarily that there are crators who brought this labor from Euro urts of in imported has the the the alien labor was The this cheap re coke region been labor and onsible for cou men dis- prevails op order now city and siate vast amount of Interesting of The Dee the past The clvil this have furnished s matter for the reader fow ow the eccleslastical court of tho chureh promises another gen uine sens the trial of the celebrated Lin woeks.

But it asserts the equality of employers and employes in making con- tracts and the duty of both under them This is one of the pioneer decisions affect- ing the labor question. Isolated cases have occurred in a small way, where the merits of a single strike or lockout have been ad- judicated by local courts.
