Mr. Mitchel] showed himself sensible of this | emphatic rejection of his proposal was simply a reitera» {ton by the operators’ representatives of their sustained hand consistent attitude of objection to outside interfer ence, Their counter offer, made by President Baer, to settle miners’ differences individually by recourse to the Judges of the Common Pleas Courts in the districts ‘where the mines are severally located had little to ‘recommend it for acceptance. » So the only advance made by the conference, the call- ing of which refiects great credit on the President, is io unconditional surrender. ‘This is a harsh and ob- Joctionable alternative. It transforms the “appalling, far-reaching, evil possibilities,” as the President ‘destg- mated them, into probabilities and makes what was al « 'serigns owtlook for the public one of grave alarm, Tt makes it more than ever obligatory upon the opera- tors to put forth more energette efforts than those hith-| ‘erto displayed to reopen the mimes, If, as they contend, they are prevented from doing eo only by the insecurity iife due to the imperfect policing of the mining dis- it puts an exceedingly grave responsibility on tone. Coal must be had. A point bas been reached where consideration of the public welfare trans- cosds in importance all original questions at issue tn this Jamentable dispute. ee | THE SCARCITY OF JUDOES. ) Bistriet-Attorney Jerome complains that there are toe few sudicial facilities for the trial of criminal cases. ‘Supreme Court Justices are scaree and there are two ‘waraneies to be filled: Justice Barrett, who has been assigned to the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, | cages, fewer by 50 per cent. than last year at this time, "| but enough to congest the calendar. The population \ having increased 350,000 since the fourth branch of tho Court of Special Sessions was established, Mr. Jerome thinks the city is entitled to an extra court permanently. Byer the long-delayed Molineux case may go over an- _ other month for lack of an available trial judge. ‘cause has certainly brought with it an increase of the | Sraver crimes, Is there no way of remedying matters by * the use of greater colerity in disposing of cases up for t ’ trig? In no other State, in no other city of this State, + could the Molineux I{tigation have been eo long pro- tracted. The last ten days have brought a new batch of sen- sational murders, which by all precedent will consume an | undue amount of court time—the Young case alone, with itt Promised “battle of the alfenists," may be good for | \ the entire winter. In such instances it would seem that the desized ends of justice are defeated by the extreme care taken to secure them. . i CONET ISLAND AS A PARK. ‘The proposal to make Coney Island a city park merits much praise.
