The anthracite coal strike haa ceased to be a question confined to the State of Pennsylvania, or one in which the coal mine operators or the miners only are interested. Every one has become interested in it because it presents a condition which applies to the Pennsylvania miners now, but may at any time apply to the mines of the country generally. Had the soft coal miners joined the anthracite strikers, as it was thought at one time they might, it would then be a much more seri ous question than it is, for then the supply of soft coal also, which is now to some extent being used when practicable as a substitute for hard coal, would be cut short. The North Atlantic cities are de pendent for their coal supplies, (and that means for their fuel), upon the mines of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, but mainly upon Pennsylvania as they use prin cipally hard coal. Suppose the strike involved these thres States instead of only a portion of one, what would be the condition of these cities? A strike embracing all of these and the practical closing up temporarily of all these mines is not a bit more improbable than the pro longed strike in the anthracite mines was when it began. It was thought it might last a month or so, no one thought it would last five months and yet it doesn't seem any nearer 'the end now than it was during the first week of the strike. In this case neither the strikers nor the mine operators are acting individually. The miners are acting as members of a Union, and the op erators as members of a Trust. Com bination on both sides. In these days of unions and combines it may not be long before the miners of sev eral States will be acting in unison as members of a Union that em braces them all, and the mine opera tors of a Trust that embraces them all. And then such a strike as we see now would Involve "hundreds of mines, thousands more men, and would mean a coal famine . sure enough compared with which the im pending famine would be a trifling matter. That is just one of the con ditions that may confront the Ameri can people at any time. It is a con dition to which they cannot close their eyes, but must see and must take preventive measures before they are up face to face with the reality. The question is now being asked, "is there no remedy, in law, and If there is not can't some remedy be devised to protect the people from the consequences of obstinate broils between the mine owners and the men who mine the coal ?" As far as haa been developed there seems to b mo law to meet the emergency as now pressented in Pennsylvania. There is law to protect the mining' property, to prevent violence and law lessness, and to protect men who are willing to work and incur the en mity and invite assault by the strikers. But that is only a partial and altogether ineffective method of procedure, for It is operative and respected only as' far as the soldier'a gun can shoot. It is a very costly one, too. It is now costing the State of Pennsylvania thousands of dollars a day, for she haa nearly four thou sand men under arms in the mine region. Some way must be devised to void this, to prevent strikes, to protect the people from the reiulta of the obstinacy of two "conflicting bodies of men, each seeking its own interest and neither carrying the flip of a penny for the public at large, who ought to be the law givers and the arbiters in such cases. This question has gone so far that even if the strike were end ed now and work in all the idle mines resumed, it will come up in State Legislatures and in Congress and become a subject of earnest dis cussion whether anything be done to meet such emergencies or not. It is contended by some that un der the elastic constitutional "pub lic welfare" provision, Congress has the right to take action to protect the people from the effects of coal strikes. Senator Mason, of Illinois, thus contends and will present a bill when tfie Senate meets, of which the following is the sub stance: "Whenever differences between em ployers and employes operating the coal mines shall arise and continue, if, in the opinion of the acting attorney general of the United States or United States district attorney, the rights and interests of the people are being preju diced, the attorney general or the dis trict attorney is authorized and direct ed to appear before any judge of the United States circuit court and ask for a receiver of the property. It shall be the duty of the court, upon being sat isfied that the rights of the public are being impaired, to grant the appli cation and to contine the receivership until the court is satisfied that the differences have been adjusted." This is a pretty radical proposition, for which no authority could be found in the constitution, save, as we have remarked,in the elastic "general wel fare" clause, which has heretofore been astonishingly stretched to au thorize measures that the majority in Congress favored. There are otheowho. while not believing thonJongress has the con stitutional right to assume control of State mines, would still, in view of the motive and the provocation, offer no protest, but would give their tacit consent, the necessity being such, in their estimation, that,"the end would justify the means," if it ever does. But whatever the opinion as to the constitutional right of Congress to intervene in such cases, there is little doubt that the States have or should have the right and power to protect themselves and the people from the results of clashes between the owners of public utilities and the men they iemploy. They have a right to take measures to prevent strikes, and if they have they have a right to take measures to stop strikes. They have a right to adopt compulsory arbitration laws and they must be compulsory, because without that they would command no respect. There is an arbitration law in Pennsylvania, but it lacks the compulsory feature and has therefore been a dead letter. What is needed is a law something similar to that suggested by Senator Mason, to be enforced by the States in which the industries in view are located. If such a law were in operation in coal mine States there would be no strikes, for the strike would be anticipated by the ap pointment of a receiver, who would stand between the mine operators and the miners and between both of these and the public, protecting all three. THE CURRENCY STRAIN. Generally speaking heretofore there has been a movement of cur rency from the money centers of the East to the West and South to sup' ply money "to move the crops," but we are now presented with the remarkable spectacle of money going from Western banks to relieve the stringency in New York, the great financial center of the country. Exactly what causes this unpre cedented condition we confess we do not know, whether the Eastern banks had sent too much of their money out, or whether too much is locked up in the sub-treasuries and Treas ury, but the fact remains that there is such a stringency, that money on call commands in New York from 12 to 20 per cent., depositors are withdrawing their deposits to len d, the Secretary of the Treasury has come to the relief of the bank ers, and J. Pierpont Morgan's fiscal agency announces that it will anti cipate payment of the October dividends, which will put about 114,000,000 more in circulation. And all this is happening when the Republican financiers are boast ing that there is more money in cir culation, and a larger per capita cir culation, than there ever was in the history of the country. But the cir culation doesn't seem to circulate. There must be a big screw loose somewhere in the financial machin ery, notwithstanding the fact that Republican statesmen have been boasting of their eminent success in handling the financial question, and putting it on a sound basis. Secre tary Gage didn't believe it was on a sound basis, but on a very unsatisfactory and what might prove a very dangerous one, and be kept pleading with them to do something to avert impending perils, one of which was the very condition which now presents itself, and Secretary Sherman has also been making some suggestions and has had to resort to makeshifts to re lieve the pressure, as all the Secreta ries for some years past have had to do. It is either a question that they feel incompetent to deal with or that they fear to tackle. But it may be incidentally re--marked that a system which takes 600,000,000 out of circulation at a time when it la 'most needed an d looks it up in the treasury vaults, is not a good system. PLATT'S TUB TO THE WHALE As all the Republican conventions which have met so far this year, with the exception of Pritchard's convention at Greensboro, have felt the necessity of saying something about curbing trusts, so the Re pub lican convention of New York did, which met last Wednesday at Sara toga. The platform was cut and dried by Boss Piatt and hia asso ciates before the convention met and consequently there was little opposition to it when it was pre sented and read. But Senator Depew didn't like it and came to the defence of the trusts thus: "These trusts, or combinations, or whatever you may call them, hard gone on quite as rapidly in the older countries of Europe as in America. They have gone on in free trade England and in high protective tariff Germany. Individual knowledge and renins for affairs under our institu tions and the inspiration and oppor tunity or American liberty will rorge ahead. In forging ahead, however, such a constructive business genius carries with him a multitude who en joy what they never would if he had not succeeded. lSuppose that the Democratic man seers should dissolve the Steel Corpo ration, as they say they would, into Its original units. Paralysis occa stoned bv dissolution and rtfcon&truc tion would throw one hundred a ad fifty thousadd men, with their fa mi iies numbering a million more, out of employment. It would twice or three times that number out in associated industries depending upon the produc tion of the Steel Corporation. When the original units were again restored it would be found that the industrial procession bad marched past that con dition and they would be unable to compete as in the old days. The ex pertinent is destruction. Destruction is not statesmanship." This is. the same unfounded as sertion so common among Repub lican trust defenders, that trusts are. not confined to this country, but are found in all countries, when as a matter of fact no country in the world has the trust system as we have it, and the only two conn tries in which they have any resem blance to the American trust are Russia and Germany, both protec tive countries, which foster and pro tect trusts by protective tariffs and export bounties, as our trusts are protected by the tariff. Bnt as it was decided as a political necessity to pass an anti-trust reso lution, the following plank was run through: While we would encourage busi ness enterprises which have for their object the eztentlon of trade and the upbuilding of our mate, we condemn all combinations and monopolies, in whatever form, having for their pur pose the destruction of competition in legitimate enterprise, the limitation of production in any field of labor or the increase of cost to the consumer of the necessaries of life, and we pledge the party to the support of such legiala tion as will suppress and prevent the organization of such illegal combina tion. Of course this is only for election purposes, and doesn't amount to anything, but it Is an evidence, all the same, of the strong hold the trust question has taken on the people when Piatt, who had a trust organizer, Sheldon, slated for Lieutenant Governor, but bad to takehim down, incorporated it in the platform. He pulled Sheldon down because Odell refused to run with him on the ticket and then he put this fraud anti-trust plank in the platform to fool the people by pre tending that his party is opposed to trusts. It has been discovered that a slight mixture of gold with alumi num makes a beautiful metal for decorative purposes, and one that will neither rust nor tarnish. CURRENT COMMENT. Cuba's action in increasing her tariff would seem to indicate that somebody has stuffed her with that old gag about the foreigner pay ing the duty. Atlanta Journal, Dem. The packing houses have abandoned the projected billion dol lar trust they were all ready to or ganize. The promoters say they dropped the scheme because of the adverse influence of the president's speeches, and especially because they feared congress might take off the duty of 27 per cent, on import ed beeves if the trust was made, which shows that Armour,. Cudahy & Co. know how duties maintain trust combines. Chattanooga Times, Ind. There has been a distinct im provement in the politics of the New York Sun during the past two weeks. Several days ago it actually spoke well of Grover Cleveland and on Tuesday it said that "the imme diate effect of President Roosevelt's proposition for a Constitutional amendment conferring upon the General Government the control of corporations is toward consolidating and jTeinspiriting the Democratic party and splitting the Republican party." That is the truth, but why should the Sun tell it? Charleston News and Com :'er, Dem. Solely on account of the pos sible effect on public sentiment in the present Congressional campaign, the announcement of the merging of the Armour and Swift Packing house concerns is said to have been postponed until after the election. But, to escape the penalties of the anti-Trust laws of States and Na tion, the merger is to be made just the same; and there is nothing left to overcome the meat extortion per manently but to take the advice of the late Senator Sherman, and in vite foreign competition by redncing the. tariff.

A path that starts wrong doesn't lead to the right place. Men who let the bait of sin alone are not going to be caught on the hook. The man who does his utmost to avoid paying his part of the church expense comes wonderfully near proving that he Is covetous. It is the demands, not the promise, that make men of us; the responsibilities, not the enioymeuts. that raise us to the stature of men and women. I do not hesitate to declare that no human being has the right to de mand the gratification of whims as long as the actual necessities of others are unsatlshed. Max. JSora.au.

The cotton market opened steady, with prices two to four points higher on nervous de mand from room shorts and some sun- port from the bull syndicate. This buying was based largely upon a favorable class of cables from the Liverpool market and dangerously low temperatures, in the northwestern portion of the belt. Following the call, commission houses re-entered the market as buyer?, taking back cotton sold at a lower level yes terday and on Tuesday. For the balance of the afternoon speculation was brisk and general with the bull element systematic buyers of the Winter option?. Whereas receipts were very heavy, many attributed this movement to a drought forced crop and predicted a marked falling off in the immediate future. The crop news was again very bullish, in dicating very poor top crop prospects over the grealer pri of iha bolt. The South, Europe and spinners were buyers of tne) Fall and Winter months towards the close of the first hour and bid January up to 8 81 and March to x.58. At this level smaller Jones sold for profits, preferring to take a neu tral stand over the Sunday adjourn ment. Southern spot markelB were described as steady to firm, with buyers disposed to meet the vien of sellers on the matter of price. NBW Yobs:.
