as It is to the interests of capital as
against labor, cannot fall to laud Presi
dent Mitchell. Says the New York
paper: "Mr. John Mitchell, ;iresi.lent
ot the United Mine "Workers of Ameri
ca, In his address at Wilkcsbarre on
Mitchell day uttered one of the sound
est and wisest sentences that have
been heard in all the long dispute be
tween labor nd capital. 'I .v.mt,'
he said, the union miners to prove that
they are better vo:k?rs than the non
union niin.' In that he pot clos. to
the heart of the trade union question.
He set forth the one ground upon
which organised labor can hope penua-
nently to succeed. What is wanted is
not union labor nor nonunion labor, per
se, but simply ihe best labor, the most
skillful, the most efficient, the most
trustworthy labor. That is what em-
trainmen has become a serious one,
says the Railway Age. The announce

conductors with field glass's and

brakeman anj the enslneer brings out
the suggestion from a Moniani !apr
that while this plan will work on some
purts of the lin. it will still be ..ce
sary to use the long distance telephone

men arc stated to prefer the f.ir-ivach

be a narrow K'.nirfe track on top of
the train, i;n which a lisht trolley car
could rapidly convey the train of
fl ials In their business trips between
the roar and froit end.
The elections throughout the country
should be extremely gratifying to the
republicans. While democrats gains
have been made, the victory was a
sweeping one for the administration,
and the republican majority in con
gress will be maintained. Particularly
noticeable is the rejult in Nev York

is to come, indicates a sweeping repub

election. The elections show also that
