Hewitt, of New York, has recently published a com munication on the coal strike which meets with the hearty endorsement of the friends and organs ' of the Coal Trust. His views give them the greater satisfaction because he is a Democrat, an anti-protectionist, and rarely says anything on public questions that they feel like endors ing but, in his views on the strike, he hits the strikers so hard that they not only endorse but cordially commend these views as something that renders inestimable service at this time, and are in striking con trast to the "sentimentalism" of the would-be arbitrators, as the New York Sun expresses it, "headed by the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna and the Et. Rev. Henry C. Pot- From a purely legal standpoint, Mr. Hewitt is undoubtedly right when he asserts that the striking miners have no right to prevent by violence other men from working if they want to work because that is depriving those men of the right the law gives them to sell their labor to whomsoever they please. Essentially that, from a legal stand point, is true. They have no right to forcibily prevent a man who wants to work from working, for that not only destroys a right that man has but it subjects his family, if he have one dependent upon him, to suffering and perhaps star vation. Bat there are' two sides to even this phase of the question. There is, if the accounts we receive from the coal regions be correct, a sur plus of miners in that coal field. For some reason the mine operators have kept more men about the mines than they had any need of at any one time. They never employed all, but so managed that all could have some work, enough probably to buy their food and pay the rent on the j houses which the companies owned. All of these miners do not belong to the miners' union, and therefore those who do not do not feel bound by the action or orders of the union. These men are already in the mines, and many of them have families de pendent upon their earnings for food and shelter. The union will not fur nish these because the men do not belong to it. It is both cruel and unjustifiable to prevent these men from working to provide for their families, as has been done. There is another side to it. Not satisfied with this labor, which is not sufficient, the companies send elsewhere and offer inducements to men to come and work for them, al though? the companies know when, they do this that they will meet with opposition in importing and putting those men to work. The men so im ported were not driven by necessity to come into these mines, to get be-; tween the mine operators and the mnng miners, take the places of the latter and help to reduce their families to starvation. They go into the strike region knowing this, for frequently before they g9t into it they are put under the protection of bayonets, so that when they come, and leave employment .upon which they could live, they voluntarily agree, tempted by a little higher wages than they were getting, to un derwork the striker and help starve his wife , and children. That's the Tiew the striker takes of it, and that is his justification. It is with him a matter of self -preservation, which makes it necessary for him to use in timidation, and violence when in timidation fafla. Mr. Hewitt has stated the law -correctly, and unfortunately the law is all a the side f the mine owner, who under the law has the right to employ whom he pleases and will have that right enforced by law if there be occasion for it. That's where the mine owner has the advantage of the miner ' and that's what makes him so obstinate when arbitration is proposed. The law protects the mine owner in his property rights, but -there is no law, nothing but persuasion, and if that fails, brute force, by which the striker can enforce his contention and protect himself. When he re sorts to that he arrays the machinery of the law against him, backed by powder and shot if neces sary, so that when we come down to the bottom of it the miner's union is entirely useless and impo tent to accomplish anything if the mine operators resolve to hold out and can afford to do it. If the mine operators resolved to run their mines and could ,'pnt as many men to work as they had use for, a strike would be a matter of very small consequence to them. They would simply fill the places of .the strikers with other men and im port them if there were not enough in the mine region; but it would be a matter of serious importance to the miners for- it would mean idleness, further star vation for their families, and notice to vacate the houses of the company, as was done a few days ago at one of thf mines in West Virginia where a number of the miners had struck. As between organized capital and organized or unorganized labor the law backs capital and gives it strength, while it stands between labor and what it aims at makes it weaker. If it were not for this there might be fewer strikes, and those we hare be less protracted, for if the mine owners did not know that they could rely upon the strong arm of the State to protect their property and them in the right to work It with whom they please they would be less arbitrary and uncompromis ing. While .the law protects the mine owner and gives him the right to employ whom he pleases and discharge whom he pleases, and protects the man in his right to work for whom he pleases, it deprives him of the only way he has to en force his contention when the crisis comes between him and the mine operator, so that as far as the law goes Mr. Hewitt is right. It is all on the side of the mine operator as against the striker. It is a very hard thing to prevent strikes from conflicting with the law somewhere, and that is one rea son why they should be avoided if possible. HOW THEY CARS' FOR THE TOILER. Presidenf Roosevelt does not fail to distribute a good deal of taffy among the working men as he swings around in New Englsnd, and he will not fail to do it when he swings around other sections. The work ing men of this country have lots of votes, and if these votes can be caught with cheap taffy it will be a decidedly good trade for the taffy man. It is somewhat remarkable, how ever, that this warm, brotherly in terest in the begrimed, "horny handed sons ot toil" develops only periodically, just before elections, cooling down in the intervals, and put in cold storage, as it were, for future use. Perhaps some of the aforesaid sons of toil may have; caught on to this. In the sanctlmonous epistle to tHe Pennsylvania citizen who a short while ago wrote to Mr. Bear of the Reading coal road praying him to "close the strike on a Christian, basis," he assured this citizen that the elect to whom Providence, in His great wisdom, had given posses sion of the coal mines would look after and care for the toilers who toiled for them. How they do this for some of them, at least, is shown by the following extract from an article in a recent number of John Wanamaker's magazine, de scriptive of the Pennsylvania coal region and the condition of its miners: "They live ia houses built of sheet iron and board?, about 15 feet square and sunk about 3 feet in the ground. Of course there is but rootr, and in this room the family anywhere from to 10 humans cookr,eala and sleepr. Although there ia plenty of apace, these hutches are crowded together like troopers' bunka on a transport. -The streets are so narrow one may al most touch house on either side si multaneously. Behind these hutches stretched a great heap of ashes the dump from the furnaces that ran the engines, a reddish-brown heap, packed hard by the rain. For obscure parts of it were yet hot, and steamed under the contact of the veil of wet. And this mass, in cooling, threw off a stench like that of burning bones; an acrid, foul odor, sweet with a nauseating, re volting sweetness, powerful, uaesca pable. that pervaded the entire com munity." The State inspector of Pennsylva nia, who recently returned from a tour of investigation in the Shenan doah region, pronounced it "the most God-forsaken country I ever saw." Now where is there room to doubt that the elect to whom the Lord has given these coal mines will duly and considerately care for the working people in their jurisdiction? Doesn't the evidence, omitting the strikes altogether, show how they are do ing it ? SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Lincoln Journal: News reaches here of the death of Lee Llngerfelt, of Cherry ville as the result of a blow over the head with a elub. According to the report, he and Mike Acre, the man who used the olub, were drink ing and became angry over some small affair. Linger felt died shortly after receiving the blow. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer: The result of the second primary, held Tuesday, shows conclusively that a very strong rotation spirit prevails in the county. In the first primary Capt. McLauchlin, who haa been clerk for 28 years, was defeated, and Tues day Mr. Benton, who has held the. office of register of deeds for 10 year, and Sheriff Gaddy, who haa been sheriff for three terms,, met the same fate. Mr. John A. McRae also de feated Capt. Frank Bennett for the Legislature. On Mr. J. J. Lit- le's farm, two miles from town, on the Camden road, is growing the finest crop of cotton, corn and peas in a long time. The corn will average 11 feet high and will probably make 60 bashels to the acre. The cotton will make a bale or more per acre. Laurihburg Exchange : At Capt. J. T. John's gin, near John's station, last 'Monday, a negro boy by the name of Norman, Kichard Nor man's son, got his clothes caught in the shafting, carrying him over aev eral times before the machinery could be stopped. His left leg waa smashed all out of shape, his right leg and arm broken, and his Jeft shoulder dialo cated. Physicians were summoned and his leg was amputated. Hia con dition is serious, and there is not much hope of hia recovery. On Wednesday, at John's station, at Mr. R. E. Warwick's gin, Mr. Charlie Thrower was caught in the elevator shafting and whirled him over a num ber of times. He waa badly btuiaed inaeveral olaoes. but no bones were broken. Troy Examiner: Miss Sarah McAulay, a highly respected maiden lady, of Onvii, died nnder rather strange circumstances, at the home of her brother, Mr. K. E. McAulay, with whom she had lived all her life. She awoke her nephew, Kennie McAulay and George Yarboro, the only per sons in the home last Friday night by screaming; she said when she awoke a negro man was standing at the foot of her bed, and as she arose and screamed he caught at her throat, but missing bis aim, ran out at the door. When the young men reach ed her, they saw no one at all, but the door was open and there was unmistakable -sign where soma one had crawled under the house. On Saturday she seemed to be in her usu al health, but very nervous. That night after ahe had gone to bed and had fallen aaleep, they heard her atruggUng and when her bedside was reached ahe was dead. Some fiend may have entered her room, and the shock may have caused nervous pros tration sufficient to produce heart failure, caused by the ravages of dis ease, in either case, it was indeed a sad affair.

The Republican State Convention which met in Greensboro,Thnrsday, was in some respects the most re markable one that was ever held in this State. In color it was white, strictly white, Bat down hard on the colored broth&r, froze him out stiff and didn't even furnish him a cold slab to lie upon in the rear end of the hall. This was rough on the color ed brother who has been standing loyally by the party ever since the franchise waa conferred upon him, and has, without question, been pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for the white bosses, who were al ways in the front line when the was handed out. This convention was run just that kind of fellowB, led jeter u. rntcnard, who would nev er have warmed a seat in the U. S. Senate if it hadn't been for the negro vote. After this freeze out Mr. Price, the chairman, congratulated the con vention on the elimination of the negro, on being at last "released from the body of death," on being white at last after long trying in a sneaking, underhand sort of way. Possibly those Warren county "Judas Iscarot-Benedict Arnold" resolutions riled Mr. Pritchard, who passed the word along the line to his strikers to sit down on the col ored contingent, and it was accord ingly done. Isn't this action, coupled with the speech of Chairman Price, (who never did" have much use for the colored brother) substantially a no tice to the negroes that the doors of the Republican party are shut and bolted against them? That's what It is and now it remains to be seen what the 40,000 negro voters of this State, who are so unceremoniously ejected are going to do about It, whether they will stick after be ing collared and cuffed in this style, go on voting for the "lily whites," who rejoiced so much at the disso lution of partisanship, or do some business on their own account. One of the most accommodating fellows we have heard of for some time was a Nebraska young man who married a handsome young woman. He went with her to Denver, Colo rado, where he had to scuffle, with luck dead against him. While he was running against luck, she ran up against another fellow who had more legal tender stuff,, and it was a' case of love on first sight. It didn't take the young man from .Nebraska long to catch on to this, but instead of making a fuss about it as some men would have done, he simply re tired, told his wife he wanted her to be happy, let her get a divorce, took out a $10,000 insurance policy for her benefit, wrote her an affec tionate note, incidentally informing her about the insurance matter, thep went to sequestered place, and with a pistol shot a hole through his head. CURRENT COMMHi Sir Robert Bond, the Governor of New Foundland, predicts that in a 1 short while the run across the At lantic will be made in 44 hours, and the trip be made from London to New York, by rail and water, with only TO hours on water,in 100 hours, by a new route that he maps out. Some of the negro women in Philadelphia break the monotony by playing footpad. Three of them made a unanimous bounce upon an unsuspecting white denizen a few nights ago and relieved him of $52 good cash. The president says, "I will do all that in me lies to so act as to represent the best thought and pur pose of the wage-workers of the United States." Since Uncle Mark Hanna discovered the labor vote, they are all going out after it. Atlanta Journal, Dem. This is not the first time the Southern elections have givon William E.

Macon Tele graphy Dem, The indications are that La Foliette, who holds the Republican party of Wisconsin in the hollow of nis hand, whose antagonism is sup posed to have led Senator Spooner to express a hankering after private life, has repented, and consented to the Senator's re-election.

Broiled bacon is a dish which In few. households deserves the adjective, be cause It Is seldom broiled; the fjlt friea out or it and again soafcea It by long sputtering in a spider full ef grease. The only way to cook bacon both for the matter of appearance and for digestive qualities Is to broil it, not over a bed of coals (It is too fat for that), bat In a very hot oven. Cut the bacon In the most delicately7 thin slices possible, rejecting the rind. Lay the pieces close together in a fine wire broiler. Place it over a dripping pan and set In a hot oven. It requires to be turned 1 jnst once. The fat which falls into the pan makes excellent drippings for frying potatoes. Drain the bacon on brown paper. If yon wish to serve calf s liver with this, sprinkle the liver with pepper and salt, roll It in flour and fry brown In the bacon drippings. Serve with ft curled morsel of bacon on top of each piece of liver. Bacon as served by the average cook, well soaked in grease, Is the most Indigestible of food; when broiled crisp in the oven, it Is a dish that may be served even for a child of two years with liflpunity. Among all the,fats delicately crisped bacon ranks next to cream in ease of digestion. COMMERCIAL WILMINGTON MA K '" r Quoted officially at the closing by toe OUamber of Commerce.
