Whllo tho public at largo may havo temporarily lost sight of tho morgor nult, tlicro Ib no doubt that tho groat financial Intercuts aro seriously dls turbed over tho outcomo of tho con troversy. Involved In theso cases Is tho wholo question of tho lengths to which combinations of capital may proceed In tho development of busi ness. Tho determination of how far tho stato may oxerclso supervision over franchises that havo originally been granted by tho public will bo fraught with vital conscquonccs. The possible results of clthor a drastic de cision ngalnst or a radical decision In favor of tho combine prlnclplo are matters which must necessarily bo of great moment both to tho corpor ations and tho people. Tho Wall Street Journal ovldontly npproclntes how much hangs on tho outcomo, for It remarks significantly: "Wu think that this enso will provo to bo something of n turning point In 'American railroad history, and that liowpvor It Is decided tho effect of Its decision will bo soon to n vory notablo vxtont In tho railroad map of tho fu ture A decision In favor of tho Northern Securities company will, In our Judgment, Bet on foot a demand for govornmont purchaso 'of .railroads which Ib not unlikely to tnko a promi nent placo among tho Important politi cal IsdueH.

Tho demand for better wages Is Just. Coal mining In tho anthracite region Is not only hard, but It Is unusually dan gerous. Tho bureau of mine Inspection reports 4,870 men and boys killed In the last ten years. In 1001 -187 were killed and 1,250 Injured. These fatalities left 230 widows and G23 orphans. For every 110,000 tons of coal mined In tho anthra cite cool fields one man or boy la killed. Two oro killed a day on tho average for the working days of tho miners and flvo Injured. Tho killed and Injured annually In tho nnthraclto coal mines are said to lib dsiit times as many as were killed it? . u. a. mm. .,,41 yonnJej during our war with Spain. It U more dangerous to mlno coal than to shoot Spaniards. What arc the miners paid for tills kind of work? On an average about $300 per year tho poorest paid labor, It Is sold, In the Northern States. It has bocn figured that at $30 a month a family of five would have, after rent, medical bills and cloth ing were paid for, 14 a month for food less than CO cents a day and not quite 10 cents a day for each person. How much meat at present prices win iv cents a aay duj i My sympathies, are with the miners because before tho strike was called President Mitchell agreed to submit the mat ter In, dispute to an arbitration board. ,Tho reply of the opera tors was terse io the point of Inimlt: "There Is nothing to arbi trate." Mr. Boer condescended to Inform tho public as well as tho minora that "The rights and Interests of the laboring men would tte protected and carod for, not by labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God, in his Infinite wisdom, had given the control of tho property Uterest of tho country." President liner tears a leaf from the mcdlaovnl ages and reads It to the free Americans of tho twentieth century. Ho talks like some resurrected baron of a mediaeval Ithenlsh castle. To name the I-ord as a partner In tho railroad and coal motioiK)llcH of Pennsylvania Is a blasphemy which should not go-unrebuked. NEW YORK'S PROVINCIALISM. 'By nil means tho most Important and sonsntlonal piece of news printed lu tho American press Inst Wednes day morning was tho announcement of tho withdrawal of Spcakor Hondor Ron ns a candldnto for ro-olcctlon from tho Third Iowa District. It Ib tlramntlo In Its unexpectedness, inox pllcablo as to Its motives and mo- mcntoiiB nB n cloudburst In tho poli tical campaign which U In progress. And yet tho Now York nowspnporB foiled utterly to appreciate cither Its nntlonnl or Its howb slgnlflcnnco. Not ono of them trentcd It as tho matter of chief moment for tho day, ns It In llkoly to provo through tho campaign. Thoy were so busy putting "Tho Tri umph of Dovory," tho "Murder of Nicholas FJbIi" and other matters of purely metropolitan Interest In doublo column head lines thnt thoy lind llttlo tlmo or Ink to wasto on tho rotlromont of tho second official of tho nation, What did It mnttor to Now York If Speaker Henderson upset tho politic al calculations of tho rest of tho na tion so long an Dovory captured Shoo linn's scalp. Tho provlnclnllstn of Now York Is so denso thnt It would scnrcoly bo af fected If tho country west of Albnny county woro destroyed hv an earth quake Chicago ReconMIorold, TUBERCULOSIS IS CURABLE. By Dr. H. H. Bias, new York' Health Officer. Tuberculosis Is Infectious and communicable, but a tuberculosis patient may live In the same room, for days or yearn, with n healthy person without danger to the latter, If proper precautions nro taken. The chief danger Is from hncllll thrown out from tho respiratory tract. In advanced cases as many (is three thousand millions nro thrown out In a single dny. They nro Inhaled as dtiHt, and lodge In differ ent tracts In tho system. If conditions ure favor able to growth they multiply there. Hut tho gen eral Insusceptibility to tuberculosis Is very groat. It Is only at certain time and under curtain condition that a largo pro portion of persons arc susceptible. Tuberculosis Is absolutely preventable and Its prevents blllty Is simply putting Into effect slmplo rules of conduct. It Is a question solely of scrupulous cIcanllm-M In regard to ex pectoration and disinfection of surroundings which havo once housed the disease. It Is not only preventable, but curable It is the most Insidi ous of all diseases. A specialist may declare no Indications of It whatever and In a few weeks It may be manifest to any ono. When there Is any 'question ono examination Is not enough. Where a cough continues for mora than six or eight weeks, in a large majority of cases, there Is back of that cough a tuberculosis focus, When any oho talks to you about chronic bronchitis and continued colds make up your mind that In a majority of cases a tuberculosis focus Is back of It. Then is the time to establish this fact, for then It U easily curable; later It may not be. , In the winter and nt Trouvlllo and Alx In the summer, they make life one unending debauch. The Four Hundred In America tnko their cue from tie smart set in Europe. Heboid them at the horse show In New York. Behold them at swell resorts. Thcdr talk that Is, what can be heard Is of bunds, puts nnd calls, horses, scandals and dogs. The best society? Good Lordl It Is true thnt we have come to a beautiful pass If simpering Johnnies and tough girls are to be accepted even by Inference as the best society, while the good and virtuous1 of the land, even though 'quite able to pay their way at home and abroad, must bo relegated to the middle class and dismissed as simple bourgeoisie. The "400" are rotten through and through. They have not one redeeming feature. Ail their ends are achieved by money, and largely by the unholy use of money. If ono of them proposes to go into politics he expects to buy his way, and the rogues who have seats In Congress or forclgu ap pointments to sell see that he pays the price. If one of them wants to marry a lord she expects to buy him, and tho titled rascals who wish to recoup their broken fortunes see that she pays Cho price. Their Influence Is to the last degree corrup tive. Their hangers-on and retainers are only such as money will buy. Nine out of every ten of the fortunes behind thorn will not bear scrutiny. Most these unclean birds, of gaudy and therefore of con spicuous plumage, fly from glided bough, fouling the very air as they twlUer their affectations of moral supremacy, and lio one to shy a brick at them and say, "Scat, you davits!" DANGER OF INSTITUTIONALISM. By Rt. Rey. Btahop Henry C. Potter, ot New York. There is danger In. the tendency to In stitutionallsm. Our danger lies not In physical deeds, but In social degradation and corruption, out of which comes ruin, which lies behind these physical matters. I would speak of Institutional chanlty In this regnrd. On an Island not half an hour's Journey from Now York arc 4,000 Insane persons under the care of tho State, and these people havo not been visited by any ono but the State commis sioner for the last four years. The force of the appalling fact Is mado plain When I say that alienists nnd In- sanltv cxnerts sar that one of tho most WMior roTTKit. Important matters In the treatment of the Insane Is that of environment. The menace of modern llfo Is In tho growth of the surrender of the care of the sick, tho maimed, thp Imbecile, to-Institutional vigilance. When men come to be (ho care of the State In such vast numbers, it is Impossible that there can be thnt note of personality consider-! tho best medicine for tho sick man nnd tho insane man.

By Henry Wmtteruon, Kdltor Loularille Courier-Journal The term "smart set" was adopted by society to savo Itself from a more odious description. Tho distinguishing trait of the "smart set" Is Its moral abandon. It makes a business of defying and overleap ing conventional rcHtrnlnts upon Its pleas ures and amusements, Ileing titled after a rule, and either rich In fact or getting money how It muy, It sets Itself above tiie law, both human and dlvluo.. Its women are equally depraved with its men. They know all tho dirt tho men know. They talk freely with tho men of things forbidden the decent. The women of this smart set no longer nretend to recognlxo virtue, even as a femala accomplishment. Inno cence Is a badge ot delinquency, a sign of the crude and raw, a deformity, which. If tolerated at all, must carry some prom ise of amednicnt. In London and tn Paris, and at Monte Oarlo Wmwkx -jBaoaTBBm ' it. WATTEHSON. I SHOULD WOMEN WORK? 1HEY MUST. By Mrs. 6. Alex-Tweedle, Chairman Int. Con. ot Women, Most women work simply because they mut. In using tho term "work," I of course mean working for wages, for occupatlou urul work fall at every glrl'a feet 'almost before she Is out of the nursery. The house belongs to the woman, there she should reign supreme;, but, alas, there arc cases where thore Is no home, and then it is no use trying to shut tho door'on woraeu's work. They aro atarvlng In thou snda with it; they would starve in tens of thousand without. iVhose fault Is this? Oertalnly not theirs. It la no use to cry out against women "flltlpg mou'f posts," "women working for low wagoa," "unskilled labor," and all the rest of It. We must go back farther than that, and discover the cause. It ia uot far to seek,, nnd it originates with men. Fathers must learn to provide for their daughters, however modestly, and then this stream of women seeking employment without quali fication will cease to exist. Do we not. all know families la every walk of life, largo families where 'the mother's health Is Impaired by the constant struggle to keep children tidy, to make them behave themselves, to feed them, and keep thcra well? Poor wornout mothers, literally overpowered with the also of their families. Poor mothers whose health Is torn to shreds In tho endeavor to drag up their children. The boys nro educated as well as means will allow the daughters have more or less to go without. Tho father hns never realized his responsibility until too late. He hn not seen tho accumulation' of expenses gathering ahead. He has not beguu little lmnklng accounts for the daughters as they arrived, and only when too late ho realizes the situation. He dies, perhaps tho mother dies, too. There Is nothing left, The boys can shift for themselves; there Is always something for them to do; but the girls whnt Is to become of them? OlrU from 10 to 23 years ot age are left dally alone, unbefriended, Incompe tent,' and obliged to seek positions ot unskilled labor. It Is not the women's fault that they are unskilled. The fault lies with the father. It Is not thro girls' fault that they are ill-paid; It Is the employer who trades on their helnlesa position. No, no; do not abuse women workers; abuse the mea who leave them la such a position, with neither money, home nor education. pALL AT 331 FIRST 8T, For Fresh Dread, Cakes and Pies Dally, A Fresh Lino of Orocerlcs, Teas, Coffees, Etc.
