The World's crusade {n favor of an immediate settle- ment of the coal strike by arbitration drings into prom- fnence the question as to whether this is a country In which the will of the people really prevails. Of the will of the people in this matter there cannot be the slightest doubt. Not only are they in favor of the principle of arbitration in the settlement of labor dis- putes, but they are agreed that the present case Is one in which the application of the principle is eminently fit and just. From this opinion there 1s no dissent. The World's canvass has covered all sections of the country and all kinds and conditions of people, and the verdict is unani- mous. The friends of labor and the upholders of capital alike indorse The World's offort. As far as any expres- sion of the popular will, of the intent and purpose of the people can be s¢ known on this question. Will it be of any avail? Thus far the little knot of {Illegal conspirators against the public welfare show no signs of yielding. Against the will of the people they oppose the compact organiza- tion of the Coal Trust, and they are as profoundly in- ‘ different to public sentiment as they are to the damage and injury they are causing to the business interests of the country and the comfort and welfare of the people. Do the people rule in a country in which seven men can successfully defy seventy millions?

It might be supposed on reading the news of the ar rest In Newark of a number of important green-goods operators that this once thriving New York industry was being diverted from the metropolis. Not so. It merely happens that the green-goods graft, following the high- est commercial precedent, has expanded and organized itself. into a trust, naturally seeking New Jersey as a base of uperations. The prisoners taken Into custody yesterday are the main guys of the larger of the “twa syndicates of green gounds dealers who have been operat- ing throughout the Mnited States during the past year or more. The arrests ave very creditable to Chief Inspector Swift, of the New Yerk Division of Post-Office Insp tors. He appears to have caught the whole bunch to- gether—in his expressive phrase “the king bee crowd of crooks of the whole countrty at the same whack.” It ts likely to be a paralyzing blow to a prosperous criminal industry the principals of which are always hard to reach because of the disinclination of the victim to “squeal.” Being by his expressed willingness to bu counterfeit money a party to the crime he is usually re- luctant to inform the authorities A Lucky Elevator Man.—Butcher Thompson, who gave up his market stall to become a bookmaker, has left an old clerk $50,000. The lucky legatee, Oliver Burns, is earning #2 a day as an clevator man, It is a conspicuous act of Benerosity. IN RE PETER POWER. The elusive and evasive Peter Power has finally been Persuaded to present himself in person before the Court and has been promptly immured in a dungeon, there to remain until the Court has got through with him The lay mind does not exactly understand the crime with which Peter Power stands charged, but there !s a general impression that the gist of his offense consisted in lending his name to legal proceedings against the| transaction known as the Northern securities merger. ‘The law has reached him and the law has been swift, Prompt and stern. Alike in its swiftness, its accuracy | and its unrelenting severity the administration of the Jaw has been admirable. But since ft is herein demon- strated that the Federal law can be thus swift and ef-| fective and severe, why, in the name of Themis, Neme-| sis and Rhadamanthns, cannot the same law be equally swift, offective and sovere in its proceeding against the Northern securities conspiracy? Why such contrast be- tween the two cases? HERE AND THERE. In Massachusetts the Supreme Court has declared that vhe property owners along the lino of the Elevated rall- road in Boston are entitled to damages for the injury done to their property by the noise nuisance of the rail- road, Has any New York property owner recovered damages for the unquestioned loss of value to his property caused by the elevated roads of this city? Does any one ex- pect the rulned shopkeepers along the rapid transit route to get compensation for the destruction of their business by the construction of that great work? Arverne and Rockaway are up in arms against the Bar- ren Ieland nuisance, but the nuisance continues its career of blight and ruin to all nearby territory. The courts of New York appear to he powerless to prevent the menace to health in the stagnant pools of the subway. Massachusetts would not stand for these invasions of the natura) rights of the citizen to be clean, decent, healthy and exempt from noise or nuisance, Why ts it that they can do things {n Massachusetts which we can- not do in New York?

Yet a few days and Boris will be with us, Boris, Grand Duke of the Russian realm and cousin of the Czar, In his orbit around the world the young man ts at pres- ent In perihelion at Chicago and the time of bis transit here is approaching.

Champagne quaffed from a chorus girl's slipper was one of his novel pleasures there, Not a wholly novel pleasure in the history of youthful indiscretion in Wash- Ington, where a sad-eved stage celebrity remembers when her slipper was the beaker and her beauty the toast.

To ascertain which is the “top” and which the “bottom" of a Union Jack, look at the diagonal red cross (the cross of St. Patrick) and you will mote that the white “edgings’’ to it, which are really the diagonal white cross of St. Andréw, upon which It ts placed, are Imuch broader on one stde than on the other, The flag is right side up when both these broad white “‘edgings” are above the red diagonals on the side next to the pole, wherens if you get the two narrow “edgings" of white on the top. on the side next the pole, your flag Is upside down, THE NAME CUBA. The Board of Geographical Names has put in considerable time finding the origin of the na@me Cuba. The result ‘s announced as* follows: "Cuba is the name by which the fs!and was origi- ally known by the, Gucayan Indian: who were with Columbus when he dis- covered It. One of Its villages or cities was called by them Cubanacan, and it it reported that from the similarity of sovnds Columbus, stil] supposing him- self to be on the coast of Asia, Imagined that this mus! be the city of Kubla Kuhan, the Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo.

MAMMY, Owen Kildare Writes of “The Party's” Old Lady. Listen! : I kissed a girl the other day, and right before The Party without getting her jealous, It was last Sunday, and right after dinner. The Party never iets the old Indy do any housework or cooking on Sundays, but does it herself. "No." she says, “goodness knows you're working hard enough through the week to be doing without a little rest on | Sundays, and I guess I can cook enough for us and the likes ¢ him." Tae last, part of the sentence happens to refer to me. When I§first began to go up to the house for Sundays I used to get an apron tied around me, and nad to help setting the table, until one day, when I had a whole lot of crockery ip my arms, I—oh, but that’s a song with a different refrain. Now | am told most impressively to make myself as small as possible tn some corner until the dinner $s ready. Well, last Sunday, after dinner, the old lady went over to the window, and I tried to squveze myself into the smallest compass.

Folded in her lap were her honest, brown, knotted hands; the arms, like two qvgnues of righteousness, led up to the silvery head!
