'President Truesdale, of the Lackawanna Road, is ro! sincere in saying that he did not expect a strike the coal miners, and also in asserting this opinion that )miners had really nothing to complain of. The atti- of the presidents of the coal roads has uniformly that they did not believe a strike would take place, ‘that they would do nothing to prevent it. They id not even arbitrate it; there was “nothing to arbi- ” ‘But, if it s true that the miners had really nothing to om} hn of, why have the operators refused to have the Hee of their cause established by the decision of an tial board of arbitration? If the grievances of the ‘re imaginary and their demands unreasonable, ty éa it not better to demonstrate this by a fair appeal } the verdict of the National Civic Federation than by eostly and dangerous ordeal of a strike? Im rejeoting the principle of arbitration, as they have ( the employers have given a sufficient explanation ‘the cause of the strike. difference be- A Oistinction with a Ditterence.—The ~ tween Carnegie's offer of $20,000,000 and our own payment - to Spain is that the Government—to use the picturesque Janguage of ex-Speaker Reed—"paid two dollars apiece for ten million yellow-beliies’’ ‘for the purpose of enslay- ing them; Carnegie proposed to purchase their freedom. IT WILL NOT DO. It is impossible not to feel a touch of patriotic sym- pathy for the east side housewives who registered their Protest against Beef Trust extortion by raiding the shops of the kosher butchers yesterday. Their method ‘Was censurable, but their mot!ve was unselfish and even heroic, It was not without precedence in an admired Page of American history. The tax levied on American tea by the arbitrary op- pression of King George was less onerous than the tax levied on the east side meat supply by the exactions of the Beef Trust, yet our school histories hold up to pub- _ lic approval the “Boston tea party,” which ratded the tea ships and dumped their cargo into the harbor. There are obvious reasons, however, why this prece- Gent cannot be adapted to the present situation. More- ‘over a boycott or a raid on the east side meat shops does not reach the really guilty criminals of the Beef Trust. its of Science.—It Is to be hoped that the scien- perts who are predicting ayother eruption of Mount Pelee are as untrustworthy as the experts who on May 7 assured the ill-fated citizens of St. Pierre that there was no danger of an eruption. BREAKING THE RECORD. Supt. Hoffman, of the Transport Bureau of the Quartermaster’s Department, says that in his twenty odd years’ service in all ports in the world he has seen wome quick calls for supplies, but that “the record of the past three days {s the record of the world.” Every step connected with the relief of Martinique has been a record breaker, The President could not bave been more prompt than he was in issuing the call; the appropriation by Congress was immediate, but before the vote was taken the Army and Navy Departments were hard at work meeting the emer- gency; the despatch of the Dixie was a feat ot good was an inspiration of genius; The World's specially chartered steamer, the Longfellow, from San Juan, + Porto Hico, is due at Fort de France to-morrow, and with her arrival all danger of famine or even lack of food among the refugees will be over. As far as this country is concerned the Martinique relief work has been well done. —A woman school teacher in #@he ome in discouragement about the prog- nimen.
