THE BAEOHS HOT HURT. The anthracite coal strike has been in progress now about twelve weeks. The latest estimates of losses are sixty-fire millions of dol lars, including damage done to the mines by flooding etc This means the losses sustained by the mine owners and miners, but takes no ac count of the losses by people throughout the country who have been affected by the strike, and the coal consumers who have had a higher price to pay for coal in conse quence of the strike. If not the greatest sufferers at present they will be in the end, for the losses to . iho-ririiie owners will come out of them in the regular course of busi ness. The annual consumption of anthracite coal is about 50,000,000 tons. The Pennsylvania mine own ers have a monopoly of it, as it cannot be gotten anywhere else in considerable quantities, and there fore they can make and get their own prices, provided they don't put the price so high as to compel the useof some substitute soft coal or oil where these can be used. Al ready coal which usually sells in the North for about 16 a ton, if not less, has gone up to $10, and scarce at that, although not so scarce as rep resented to be by the men who sell it. Of course this is an arbitrary in crease in price, without any justifi cation. The coal for which the ad vanced price was charged didn't cost a cent more to mine or deliver than the coal that was sold for five or six dollars a ton before the strike, but it gave the mine operators an excuse for the grab by saying that coal was scarce, and the supply would be soon exhausted. People who must have that kind of coal bought it and were perhaps glad to get it before the price went higher. The operators have, therefore, really lost nothing, save what it may cost to drain flooded mines, and repair damage done to mines and machin ery. They have lost nothing in coal for the coal is still on the mines and they have received a much higher price for what they have sold since the (strike, more than enough, donbtless, to make good any losses sustained. They have been perfectly indiffer ent from the start about this strike. In fact, it was suspected and even said that instead of trying to pre vent it they welcomed it, counting upon being able to start the mines up again by the time their stocks of mined coal were exhausted. It has been predicted that if the strike continue until September coal will command $10 a ton. But whether it go so high or not it will certainly go high enough not only to offset any losses the mine operators may have sustained or may sustain. With a consumption of 50,000,000 tons a small increase of a dollar a ton would bring them $50,000,000, which would cover a multitude of strikes. They usually do not give regular employment to more than half the miners, the others working at odd times, or if they employ as many as they can find room for they cut the time, so as to keep production down to the market demand. They could produce twice as much coal as they do if they worked all their men full time, but all they care for is to produce as much as is required for consump tion without accumulating a large surplus. They had a pretty good supply on hand when the strike was threatened, which made them so in dependent, uncompromising and - lirtf otnm'.l XCi L time comes and they are ready to resume operations they will find a way. to end the strike if it doesn't end itself before then. Whether they agree as a m atter of policy, if not of justice, to a small increase of pay to the miners, the miners will fare better when they return to work than they fare d before the strike, for they will get work more days in the month and thus will earn more money than they were earning and more of them will be employed, for winter coming on will necessitate the employment of a larger number of men than usual to mine the coal that will be required, as the surplus has prob ably been pretty well consumed. ' They could very well afford to in crease the pay of the miners and give them at least living wages,, which they do not get now. When they are paid by the quantity mined some of the most skilful and hardest workers may make what seem to be pretty good wages, but the aver age miner receives less than $300 a year less than a dollar a day and he is not employed steadily then. How can a man with a family sup port that family on such earnings as these when tne ordinary neces saries of life cost him nearly a third more than they did a few years ago, when he got as mnch wages as he does now? Comment has been mad 3 on the number of children employed in these mines, many of whom spend most of the day under ground, away from the sunshine that every one ot them needs, just as much as has in providing for his necessitates working the boys to help feed and clothe the family. We have never heard any reason assigned for it, but this is probably the reason. There has been much talk of the abuse of child labor in Southern cot ton mills but it bears no comparison to the ordeal that those children go through who are employed in those underground tombs, for that is what they really are, tombs for children, tombs for adults, the former of whom is stunted the latter of whom is starved, a fact brought to the at tention of the public by the report of a recruiting officer of the navy who was sent into the strike region un der the impression that it would be a good place to get men for the navy. Me had many applications, but found the boys dwarfed and the men not physically able to meet the requirements because they were suffering from the effects of pro longed bad feeding and stinted food. What else could be expected on less than $300 a year; and yet these coal barons are making millions. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. inst a glimpse of a woman' face is en all that is needed to tell the story of her daily suffering. No woman can endure for long the pangs of womanly dis eases without falling off in face and form. Women who have been cured of womanly diseases by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, frequently refer with pleasure to the gain in appear ance as well as in feelings, which has come with their cure. "Favorite Prescription" cures irregu larity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free.

There has been a good deal of discussion in this country as to the I ability of the Cubans to govern themselves, but this Government acted on the presumption that they were not competent when it in sisted upon the acceptance by the Cuban convention of the Piatt Amendment. The recent action of the Cuban Congress in passing a bill authorizing a loan of $35,000, 000 is said to be in conflict with ar ticle 2 of that amendment, which reads as follows: "The said government shall not as sume or contract any public debt to pay the interest upon which, and to make reasonable sinking fund pro vision for the ultimate discharge of which the ordinary revenues of the island of Cuba, after defraying the current expenses of the government, shall be inadequate." Cuba needs money, she needs it to defray current expenses and to meet accrued obligations, money due her soldiers and others, and yet under this article she cannot nego tiate a loan without, presumably at least, securing the assent of this Government. Neither can she, un der this amendment, negotiate a treaty with any country without the consent of this Government. Where is the self rule in that ? This puts Cuba in a pretty bad predicament, for after giving her assurances, upon which the mem bers of the convention relied, that we would give her liberal trade con cessions in return for the acceptance of the Flatt Amendment, these assurances were ignored and Cuba stands juBt where she stood before these assurances were given, bound hand and foot by the Flatt Amend ment, which was accepted on the strength of these assurances, and absolutely helpless. The Cubans, doubtless, wish by this time that they had less of that kind of Belf government. two bottles of Smart-Weed. Also some Lotion Tablets.'

B. Terry in Practical Farmer. They call this fodder corn. It has been spoken ot as corn hay. There are many places where grass does not do very well, where the hay crop 1b not large per acre, and still the land will grow larpe crops of corn. Corn hay is an important crop in these sections. Why? Because one can easily grow two or three times as many tous of dry feed per acre as he would get from grass land. Now the corn binder has come into general use it will have near ly as much feeding value as a ton made from grass. Ia many cases there will certainly be a large gain by growing corn hay, particularly on land where gross does not do very well on account of the character of the soil and because dry weather often prevails; Corn will stand dry weather better than grass, especially on the dark prairie soils. Fodder corn is a particularly valuable crop In the north, say from Minnesota to Maine, where the land Is locked in frost practically all winter and the con ditions are favorable for out of door feeding. It can be fed to sheep, young stock, beef cattle, horses, etc., but Is not so suitable for the dairy, as they must be fed in the barn where they can be keptwarm. Atslfce and Clove r Set- For Lambs.

It suc ceeds, however, in some places where the other two do not, particularly in the more moist situations, and has at tained considerable favor tn some por tions of Montana, Clover proved, much more valuable for fattening lambs than a hay made from seeding a mixture of wheat, barley, oats and peas ana cut ting and curing in the milk stage. Breeder's Gazette. MOVIHG IS TEE BIGHT DIREC TION. One of the best signs for the ulti mate solntion of the race problem is the interest that leading negroes of the South are taking in guiding their race in the right direction and neu tralizing in as far as they can the foolish or vicious counsel of agita tors, black and white, the former of whom act upon the idiotic impres sion that they are the equals of the white people, the latter of whom are working the negroes to carry out their own selfish schemes. In our press dispatches yesterday we published the substance of the address delirered by Bishop Gaines at the Negro Young People's Con gress in Atlanta, an address which was on the right line and full of sound sense. He told them that the destiny of the negro is in his own hands, and that as far as he is con cerned he must work out the prob lem, in which if he proceeds in the right way he will haye me co-operaiion ana tne mor al and material assistance of the better element of the white people of the South, which is true and has been amply demonstrated. The ne gro honestly struggling for his own betterment has never had occa sion to complain that the way isn't open to him, and no such negro has ever been held responsible or called to account for the misdoings of the lawless ana -vicious negro. That fe what Bishop Gaines sub stantially told them, and that's what everyone who knows anything about the conditions in the South knows. If the negroes of the South heed and act upon the advice of such counsellors we will hear less about th'ejraoe problem, and it will in time solve itself and solve itself right. rWINKLINOS The tin workers employed by the American Tin Plate Company have declined to agree to a reduction of 25 per cent, in wages so that the company could compete for a 1,500, -000 box contract against the Welsh tin manufacturers.

Instead se cure heavy floury middlings. For brood sows try a mixture of one part corn, one part floury middlings and one part bran, all by weight. Add water to the mixture and feed as a warm slop dur ing cold weather. Oats are very high priced at this lime, but if on hand scat ter a limited amount thinly In a clean place, or, better yet, on the feeding floor where the sows can pick the grains up one at a time, feed the sows bo that they are a little hungry when all is eaten, lest they get too fat. A pound and a half of the mixture noted should be sufficient for each hundred pounds of animal, live weight. Feed the finer parts of the hay hat .which will be" rattled easily off the coarser stems or run all through the feed cut ter. Put some of this hay material Into the swill barrel and allow it to soak twelve hours along with the meal for the hogs. The purpose of the clover bay is to furnish bulk or volume to the feed.

Br Telegranh to the Horning star New Yobk, July 7. The cotton market opened steady, with prices two to nine points higher on a general buvinr movement in which the shorts took the leading part. The English market reports were decidedly more bullish than anticipated, and there were complaints of excessive temner- atures in ithe western belt. Re ceipts were not up to expecta tions, demand for spot cotton was more active, and it was seen that th New York stock was rapidly dwin dling away. Rumors that August shorts were to be given something of h squeeze to some extent stimulated investment support. Toward the close of the first hour the market eased off a trifle under profit-taking, but to ward midday hardened on renewed demand from the shorts, who were ex ceedingly nervous. Later in the af ternoon active Wall street hiivino and some commission house support sent the whole list up rapidly. The whole feature of the list was August, which was strong throue-bour. elnmnv at the top notch. Philadelphia spot cotton houses and local shorts were in active competition throughout the ses sion. September and the later months were sold oy the more confident bears. In the last ten minutes nriees ipntiin several points further on general buv- uK, iou uj wan street Dulls.

After considers ble early strength in grain to day. the markets, particularly com, suffered 1 severe break. The cause was that the year promised to be too prolific to suit the bulls. There was a good demand for high grade wheat while very littlfi wheat of this sort was coming; to mar ket. This influence, however, could not offset the.incentive to sell heavily in the corn pit when support wa withdrawn, and when corn broke jig gedly, other grains dipped in sym pathy.
