NO. 14,044 WHO IS STRIKING ¢ The action of the mine workers at the Indlanapolis Comvention fully realized the best expectations of their _frientis. In refusing to order a sympathetic strike and th levying an unusually heavy assessment on thousands | q to support their unemployed brethren the bituminous coal miners showed their respect for the obligations of a éontract and their readiness to suffer for the success of & cause which they consider just While this is the commendable attitude of labor, what fg’the attitude of the employers? While labor appeals to the universal sense of justice and consents to rest Its gamge On the decision of impartial arbitrators, the coal road presidents persist {n their obstinate refusal to arbi trate. There is nothing to arbitrate, they will manage their business in their ofn way, they will not be “dlc- tated to” by their employees, and, finally, it is none of ‘the public's business. This persistence in stubbornness in face of the pro- ceedings at Indianapolis places the situation in a new light, It is not really the miners who are wow striking st much as the opérators, and the latter are striking against their own Interests as well as against the in- terests of the public, and against the principle of arbi- tration as well as against trades unionism. THE TUNNEL HOLD-UP, ‘The general impression that the delay in the Board of Aldermen tn acting on the contract for the Pennsyl- Yaiité Railroad tunnel ic a “hold up” of the worst kind was strengthened by the action of the Railroad Commit- tee in failing to secure & quorum at its last meeting. The tactics employed to prevent the quorum bad a familiar and fishy aspoct. Some of the members were invariably felayed by important Dustness elsewhere, and when they arrived they were disappointed to find that other mem- ‘pers bad been unavoidably called away by other impor- tant business elsewhere and it was impossible to secure ® quorum. ‘The members of the committee need not flatter them- welves that they can succeed in deceiving the publie by any such stupid and transparent evasion, It ts their duty to meet and report, und inasmuch as time is precious and they have already wasted more time than was neces- gary, it is the duty of the board to take the matter out of their hands, recall the contract and pass it. A YEAR OF TRUE LOVE. Tt has taken only a year for the Yohe-Strong ro- mance to pass from the champagne to the small beor state, a Romewhat brief career even for a lurid love af- fair euch as theirs has Been. A twelvemonth ago it was all for love aud the world well lost—the lady gind to get fid of a broken-logged, dissolute lord and the lover throwing discretion and hts good name to the winds for the momentary possession of the object of passion. Now the lover tas run away and the tady 1s intlmating @ dis- honorable course of conduct on his part. All the good things of life come ‘high, but it would weem that Capt. Strong has paid an extortionate price for his year's fun. His schedule of assets shows him ‘well nigh bankrupt—his promising army place gone alodg with his position in society and his good repute. { He has given them for the brief companionship of a very mature siren, paying a great deal more for that Cotepanionship than {t was worth. The lady, accus- témed to a tinsel estimate of life from long stage asso- elation, will dry her tears as soon as she gets her Jewels back and become eligibte for another suitor, It #% the man ip the case who suffers this time, and it is to him that what scant sympathy there may be for the prin- elpals in this affair should be extended. “BEEF AND” UP IN PRICE, ‘The b0-cent table d'hote places raised their prices 10 per cent. recently becanse of the exactions of the Beef ‘Trust, and now the white label refectories of the beet and beans order have followed suit. We may next expect the night luach wagon an( the hokey-pokey man to do likewise, and pretty soon the rise In prices will have become general all along the line. This ts bad enough, but the explanation is rather worse becuuse of the raw reasons gtyen for thelr course by the restaurant keepers. ‘It has been realized for | some time,” says one, ‘that we have not been getting What we onght to have for food, An addition of 5, 10 or 16 cents on a man’s restaurant check to him, individually, | amounts to nothing, scarcely worth @ second’s thought, yet in tho aggregate it would be a large item in our business.” It is the old plea, “such a little one,” and rather crude by comparison with the approved | plausible business methods. Why not say that the beef at the new price will be of very supertor quality, the beat of prime cuts from stall-fed oxen, and the beans of the rare suceulency of flavor attained only by special impor- tation from Boston? Some patrous will then really think that they see an improvement and the grumbling will JOKES OF OUROWN YE roo SUITOR. dh dearest one,” the lover erled, * “A source of pain Jt ts to me, 2 1 can't express my love for ther erhaps ‘tls well,” the maid re For, judging by your poverty, You'd have to xend It CO. b." ted, EASY TO GET. “1 don’t suppose that Western siage ach company will mind the lose of the eee $88.00 the road agents lifted from them.” “Why not?” “Oh, it was only stage money, you FOOLHARDY COURAGE. “The Rough Riders may have been ave at San Juan, but they were cow- compared to a man In our office. “Why, what special act of bravery has he done?” “He has the heroism ni roariously at all the WHILE YOU WAIT. “What ts Van Spender doing In Part “Accumulating @ past.” AN ALTBI. “I thought you sata you didn't use @ tobacco in any form?” ® “1 don't, ma'am.
