Speaking of the coal strike in Pennsylvania a few days ago a prominent Englishman in Washing ton said he conld not comprehend why it was that a few men in a. country of 70,000,000 of people could bring about a condition that would practically deprive many of those people of fuel and paralyze many of the leading industries. This may seem strange to an Eng lishman, and it also seems to a great many of our own people, who can't understand why the people who use coal should be at the mercy of either the mine owners or the miners, or of both. If this was the first strike of the kind they might understand it on the principle that it was something unanticipated, never thought of, that it came as a sur prise, and that not anticipating any thing of the kind as at any time probable, there was no occasion to' take legislative action to guard against it. But it is not, for we have had many such strikes, rarely .one so formidable, and therefore the thing that is strange about it and hard to comprehend is why no legislative action has been taken to prevent such conflicts of employer and em ployed in an industry which so greatly affects the public at large. Whether they do things any better in England or other European coun tries we do not know, but when they have strikes ever there they manage to end them some way be fore the public suffers materially, and end them by arbitration, too, a way that has been suggested to put an end to this strike, but a sug gestion which the mine operators would not listen to. In reply to the suggestion to arbi trate they said there was "nothing to arbitrate," and if there was they asked how could men who know nothing about the business of oper ating coal mines arbitrate a dispute between the operators of the mines and the minerB employed? They contend that it is they alone who can or should run their business, or make terms with the men who work for them. One, at least, of - them declares that they own the mines as a gift of Providence, and therefore have a divine right to rule in their own way, and that it is an officious impertinence for anyone to tell them what they ought to do, or how they Bhould conduct their mines or estab lish rules for their government. Be ing the owners of the mines, not by gift of Providence, but by purchase and by virtue of law regulating property ownership, they have the right to operate them in their own way, a right in which they are pro tected by law. But this is a right which carries with it reciprocal ob ligations. One of the spokesmen of the mine owners has declared that the law gives the iowner of property the right to do with it as he pleases. Not always. He has no right to use that property so as to inflict injury on others or upon the property of others. Some countries retain title to the mineral of min eral bearing lands and claim the ownership of any minerals that may be found in them. These are claimed by the crown and are used for the benefit of the crown. In this coun try that is not done, the opinion be ing that in the hands of private indi viduals or companies such properties would be more quickly and generally developed, and the greater the ben efit to the country and the people would be. - It is said that under the laws of Pennsylvania that State conld now claim, if it would, title to the minerals in the lands in which thAM mines have been worked, be cause they were in colonial days the property of the crown, and when that title wai lost by the crown it passed to the sovereign State, and there has never been any surrender of that title;by:the State of Pennsyl vania. The matter has simply rested there and the coal lands have boon permitted to pass into the possession of individuals and companies without any objection by the State or any as sertion of a claim for her. Being the owners of the mines, and so recognized by law, they have the right to work them, and to work them in their own way, pro vided they do no injury to others, but it doesn't follow from this that they have the right to do with them as they please. It may not, strictly speaking, be a supposable case, but for sake of illustration suppose that all the mine owners in the United States got together and decided to close their mines for one or two years or more. That would be "doing as they pleased with their own property," but how long would they be allowed to do it? How long before the courts would be called upon to assert the right of eminent domain and force these conspiring mine owners to open their mines or turn them over to others who would? A man who owns land through which a stream runs, which is nec essary to the welfare or comfort of the people further down the stream, has no right to dam or otherwise ob struct it so as to deprive others of the use of it. He is entitled to all the benefits he can get from that stream, but he has no right to abuse his privilege to the extent of doing injury to others, who have rights as well as he. While the mine operators own the mines they owe obligations to the State and the public, to the State which holds the right of eminent domain, and to the public who are entitled to a supply of fuel to keep factories running and for domestic purposes, and the mine owners who are protected by law should be re quired to discharge their obligations to the State and to the public, and so the laws of every State where coal mining is an industry should provide. When the mine owner fails for rea sons of his own or from inability to agree with the miners employed, to comply with his obligations to the State and the public, then the State should atep in and take his place until the conditions become such that he could operate the mines and supply the fuel needed. TEE COLOR LINE IN HAITI. A report comes from Washington that the subject of taking, forcible possession of Haiti has been serious ly considered there, the reason as signed being that it is necessary for some strong hand to take possession to restore peace and law and order and protect the interests of aliens residing or doing business in that so-called black Republic. It is thought that satisfactory arrange ments can be made with the Gov- ment of San Domingo by which both of these negro republics could be taken under the protecting wing of this Government. Whether there be anything in this or not the fact remains that both of these so-called republics haye been signal failures and that both are sadly in need of some guardian to protect them from themselves and to check the drift to barbarism. We have heard much about the color line in the South, and there has been a good deal of tart criticism of Southern white people by North ern Republican journals and politi cians, for drawing the color line po litically as a means of self -protection from ignorant negro rule, but the color line in the South can't bear any comparison to the color line against the whites as it is drawn by the negro in the republic of Haiti, as will be seen by the following from a letter of a correspondent of the Philadelphia Record. After describ ing the conditions that prevail in this black Eepublic, he says: Philanthropists to the contrary not withstanding, the experiment of Afri can self-rule has been a signal failure, even here where the race has enjoyed every advantage. For almost a hun dred years (since 1804) the black man has had things all his own way in Haiti, and been undisputed lord of the country, unhampered by political disa bilities, prejudices or degrading memo ries, lnls is tne only country in the Western Hemisphere where negroes are the rulers, legislators, judges, gen erals, authors, artists, and where the where the white man is indebted to the black for liberty live. By the Haitian constitution the white race has no legal right which anybody is bound to respect. They cannot own real estate, nor bold mortgages for longer than nine years, nor even become citizens consequently they cannot vote nor obtain political position. Even If they marry Haitien women they cannot inherit their landed property, but only the pro ceeds of it when sold at public auc lion. They are not allowed to engage in the retail trade, and are not eligible to tne bar, the bencn, the pulpit, to military honors or any civil distinc tion whatever. They may be me chanics, merchants, clerks, teachers, engineers or servants in any capacity 10 me oiacs; joras 01 tne island. However, there are some concessions. The whites may be wholesale mer- cnanu (tor mat requires more money, learning and enterprise than belong to the average Haitian), and all the foreign trade is in the hands of Englishmen, French and a few Amer icans. Some of the latter would amass colossal fortunes in a few years' time. m a . in. . ii mey were permiiiea 10 get sway with them; but it always happens that just as the merchant has accumulated a competence an incendiary nre sweeps his warehouse out of existence, or his goods are plundered by a band of so called revolutionists, and he has to give up business altogether or begin the weary deatMn-life all over again. Ninety-nine ' times in -a hundred the foreigner feels that he has already had more than enough of Haiti, and he de parts for pleasanter fields of labor no richer than he came. Self rule has not only been a fail- ure with them, but so has civilisa tion, for instead of progressing they have been retrograding, and have ! relapsed into many of their ancestral j savage customs and beliefs. It ia I true that they have not been thrown into sufficiently intimate relations with the white race to oheok the drift to savagery as the negroes of the Southern States have been, but even here in the South in sections where the negroes are very num Ai-mm And thn white Deoole corres pondingly few that same tendency is noticeable, and we see "hoodoo ism," "witchery," "charms," a su perstitious following of negro "Christs," and other wild forms religion that border on insanity. of Of course this does not apply to the in telligent class of negroes who have benefited by contact with the white people, but there is enough of it show that the untutored negro to the South is not many degrees re moved from the negro of Haiti.' CO-OPERATIVE OIL MILLS- The State Farmers' Association which met in Raleigh last week recommended co-operation among farmers on general lines, by which they could sell what they have to sell and buy what they need to much better advantage. Among other things it urged upon the cotton growers the advisability of establishing co-operative cotton seed oil mills, thus getting all the value there is in the seed, double or treble as much as they realize from it when sold in its crude State. Several such mills have been already started, of which mention has been made in these columns, in connec tion with which we have urged cot ton planters in sections where much cotton is grown to do likewise, for it is practicable in any such section, the cost of an ordinary mill not being large enough to be beyond the means'of an ordinarily thrifty com munity. If the building of such mills became general, the seed crop would be worth double, or more, as much to the planters as it is, and they would have many thousands of dollars more in their pockets. We have long been an advocate of co-operative cotton mills, the prac ticability and value of which have been fully demonstrated in Char lotte, which, beginning with co operative mills, has grown to be one of the great cotton manufacturing centers of the South. With the cotton mill and the oil mill, the planter would get all the possi bilities out of his crop and all the profit there is in it. Then he might make money growing cotton even if the price fell to what would be a losing figure if he depended upon marketing his crop as it comes from the gin. It isn't the farmer who produces the most who makes the most out of it, but the man who shows the most sagacity and thrift in handling what he produces. That Illinois editor who under took to furnish his readers with some biblical news by publishing chapters of the Bible, ran against a snag be fore he got a good start. There hap pened to be a banker among his readers, who occasionally relieved the monotony of figuring on accounts and discounts by perusing "the Book." Now he is applying to the courts for an injunction to prevent the publication of certain chapters, which he declares are not edifying reading for the family circle. An old soldier in the Soldiers' Home at Lafayette, Ind., has varied the monotony of every day life there by building his own coffin and con structing and carving a tombstone to his own notion. He has carved upon it the legend which will tell who and what he was. CURRENT COMMENT. A Republican State Conven tion was held the other day in North Carolina without a single negro delegate in attendance. No com ment could be more forcible on the suddenly altered conditions which rule in the politics of the Old North State. New York Tribune, Rep. The presence of ten thou sand troops does not seem to have a soothing effect upon the half starv ep Pennsylvania coal miners. They may be comforted, however, by the assurance of one of the bloated coal trust magnates that God has com missioned him and his gang to take care of the poor in the beat. At lanta Journal, Dem. The North Carolina Repub licans have thrown the negro out. The negro is a failure. He cannot handle his vote so as to put his good white Republicans into office, and he refuses to help put good white Democrats into office, and he is not ready for the enjoyment of the privileges of citizenship, and the whites, whether Republicans or Democrats, are concluding that the best thing for the negro is plenty of .good, hard work, and no politics. Mobile Register, Dem. Beefsteak in Berlin costs forty-four cents a pound. This ex emplifies the beauty of a high tariff as a means of increasing the demand for the favored article. Germany has carried the principle to the lim it, the increase being attributable to the exclusion of foreign live stock and the prohibition of canned meats. But there is no need of going to Germany to learn the beauties of a high protective tariff. She got the idea from us, our billion dollar Steel Trust and the fattening, swag gering, grasping trust generally be ing the outgrowth of this clumsily yeUedformof legalized robbery.

Stanly Enterprise: We were shown a silver dollar last week, coined in 1860, that has an interesting history connected therewith. Mr. Ltenry mi us, of Norwood, an old Confederate Vet eran who has braved the frosts of 82 Winters, was the proud possessor or the coin. When asked as to the J. D." engraved on the face of the coin, Mr. Mills said the letters stood for Jeff Davis, and that at the close of the war he ferried Mr. Davis, his family ana a party with him across the Yadkin river between Lexington and HaiisDury. ana that Mr. Davis handed him the com upon landiDg. The initials were cut soon after the event by Mr. Uorah, a jeweller at Salisbury. Mr. Mills re members distinctly every aetau oi tne incident, and tells an interesting story. Weldon News: Lewis Gunter, colored, who says he has been at work for Major Wm. Burnett, near a held, jumped from the Seaboard Air Line bridge to the ground, a distance of sixty feet, Tuesday after nooD. urn cers were after a negro who had drawn a gun on some one at Garyt- burg, and seeing Gunter on the bridge they called to him to halt. The negro i ran to the edge of the bridge and leaped to the ground, falling upon rocks and hard earth. His tongue was cut and there were bruises about the head. It was thought at first that he was Louis Kerney, wanted at Enfield for murder, but later developments established his identity as Louis Gunter. He was placed in the lockup here and when seen and questioned yesterday he did not appear to know that he had taken such a terrible jump. Fayetteville Observer: The whereabouts of Taylor McAlpin Edge, who escaped from the Marsh-High-smith Sanitarium Monday night, has at last been discovered. A' letter was received from Dr. Bullard, of Samp son county, to-day stating that Edge arrived at his home, thirty miles from Fayetteville, the morning after the night of his escape, and at once left for White Oak. in Bladen county, ac companied by his wife to visit his old home. The doctor did not know now Edge made the journey but stated when he was in fairly good condition when he arrived, and that he learns that he has been getting on very well since he arrived at White Oas. We know of no more remarkable case in medi cal history than this. A man who had an iron bolt driven two inches into his brain, coming thirty miles to a hospital, having the bolt cut out, leaving a hole in the centre of the forehead as big as a half dollar expos ing the brain, part of which had been spilled, a few days afterwards escap ing from the hospital, walking home thirty miles, and now living and do ing well. A Clever Thief. This is how the presence of mind and audacity of a Chicago thief saved him from being locked up: A policeman iwho recognized him and knew he was "wanted" put him under arrest, with the words, "You are wanted at head quarters." "Yes, I know," replied the thief quickly. "I was arrested last night and was bailed out this morning. You are too slow." "It does look that way," said the crestfallen policeman as he told the thief he could go. of which permission the thief lost no tine in availing himself. Later, to his chagrin, the policeman found that the thief had not been previously arrested. The Glided Man. At the headwaters of the Orinoco Spanish traditions located the land of El Dorado, "the gilded man," a po tentate whose country was so rich in gold dust that he had his body anoint ed with oil and sprinkled with gold ev ery morning, so that he shone in the pun as though gilded.

The market subsequently turned weak again and sold down below the open ing level, January touching 8:33 un. uer general selling, lea ov nervnui J 1 in a longs. Speculation was fairly active during me iorenoon, out for the mot part tne public took profits on cotton bought early in the recent movement or losses on staple taken on at the heighth of the bull movement.
