FACTS ABOUT COAL MINING. ‘The appeal to the American people of President Mitchell in behalf of the striking anthracite coal miners bristles with facts which are of public interest and im- No one will question the statement that a working- man is underpaid who gets only $142 a day for ten hours’ work, and gets this only 200 days in the year In ‘the diMcult and dangerous underground work of coal mining. ‘This would be poor pay even if the circumstances fustified it. But Mr. Mitchell quotes President ‘Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road, who says in his official report that “the year of 1901 will pass into history as one of the most satisfac- tory if not the banner year in the history of the anthra- cite coal trade.” It certainly has not been the most satisfactory in the trade of mining'coal. The miners have not shared in the prosperity of the operators. Another fact is that the railroads are acting in the double capacity of coal miners and coal carriers. When they assert, as President Baer does in speaking for the Goal Trust, that they do not make any profit out of the mining of coal they are guilty of an evasion which is disingennous to say the least for it. They can show a Joss in the coal department of their business at any time by merely charging exorbitant rates of freight in the carrying department. Mr. Mitchell asserts that the Coal Trust roads charge three times as much for hauling a ton of anthracite per mile as other roads charge for hauling bituminous coal. ‘These are some of the facts in an appeal which, as we have said, bristles with facts. On this statement the miners are willing to submit the justice of their cause to impartial arbitration and to abide by the result. It is needless to cay that the appeal is mado to the American people, not to the Coal Trust presidents, who are deaf to every appeal from every source. OUR WALL STREET SERVICE. ‘We beg to call the attention of our readers to the ex- ceptional character of the financial news department re- cently inaugurated as a special feature of The Evening ‘World.

The financial columns of The Svening World will be marked by the eame enterprise and thoroughness which have given to this paper ite uncontested supremacy in the field of general news. A MODEL SUNDAY, Yesterday was opening day at many of the pleasure resorts in the neighborhood of New York, and the record of the day is a most creditable one. The Coney Isiand crowd is estimated at 140,000; Far Rockaway was a osn- tre of pleasure seeking; 40,000 exoursionists visited Glen Island; the coasts of Jersey and of Long Island awoke to their summer activity; the parks were unusually crowded, and evidences of the season of summer travel and pleasure were everywhere visible. And the columns of this morning’s papers attest that among all these millions of Sabbath-breakers there was not the slightest disorder or misconduct. The record is cone of happy, well-behaved, self-respecting Americans who know how to enjoy themselves soberly and dis- creetly, to respect the rights of others and to obey the law. ‘The record of the stay-at-homes within the inner cir- cuit of the city is equally creditable, although there is Teason to believe that the enforcement of the Raines law was rather liberal then strict. THE CONTRASTS OF SENTIMENT. ‘At the news of the Mount Pelee eruption in Mar- tinique the generous sentiment of the country was groused at once and enlisted in the work of relief. Con- gress at once voted $100,000, then $200,000, then the President called for $500,000 and organized relief com- mittees in all the large cities. Funds were started by newspapers and chambers of commerce and other pub- lic bodies, supplies were hurried forward, and before the emotional impulse could be stopped the generous people of the United States had given more than there was either need or use for to help the alien and the stranger in Martinique. Now from Zapata County, Texas, comes the state- ment of the condition of our own people in a drought- stricken area of that State. As a result of successive years of drought the ranches have been ruined, the cat- tle are dead, the people are destitute, and the County Judge who issues the appeal asserts that for the past two months he has been issuing rations to 15,000 people and that he now has only a ten days’ supply on hand, He says that it is hard for them to be continually ap- pealing for relief, but the circumstances compel it. Perhaps it is because there is nothing sensational or melodramatic about the misery of the drought-stricken region of Texas, but whatever the reason, it passes un- noticed by the rest of the country.
