There is no material change in thev situation among the striking coal-miners. So far the operators have refused to concede anything except that they will quit robbing their employes by the use of dishon est scales. It will not be long be fore there will be developments. The surplus stock of coal is being used up, and the ability of the strik ers to support themselves in idleness grows daily less. What the result may be no man may guess, but it will be one of two things, conces sions on the part of the operators that will permit the miners to live, or an outbreak caused by despera tion and despair. Every good citi zen hopes for the former and dreads the latter. Backed by the law, the mine owners have steadily applied the thumb-screws to labor, forcing wages lower and lower, unheeding the cries of anguish of the victim. Capital and labor are so intimately connected that neither can prosper without the other, and it is sorrowful indeed to find them arrayed against each other. It is passing strange that capital can not understand this; more than strange that it denies to labor its fair share of the mutual employment, and denies to it all the profits arising from beneficent legislation. Anarchy is a dreadful thing in whatever shape it comes, and capital lias become imbued with anarchistic ideas. Let it beware the day when labor shall take to heart the same lessen. Money has ascended the throne and is the American king. Little wonder is it that like other kings it takes as true the legal fiction that "the king can do no wrong." Charles II was taught differently by Cromwell, and Robespierre, Danton and Murat taught the same lesson in France. Every patriotic citizen must view tbe situation in this coun try not only with alarm, but it may well awaken terror. Labor seeing its earnings grow steadily smaller, while the earnings of capital grow .steadily larger, protests by strikes. The protests go unheeded. Behind the Money king is the Jaw; behind the law the people. But are. they ? Up to this time, yes; but there is a point beyond which they will not be behind it, but will overthrow it. The .policy of the corporation pur sued to its legitimate end means serfdom. It will be stopped before it reaches that stage, either by wise legislation or by violence. Contin ued we must expect serfdom or an archy, and Americans do not take kindly to slavery. We will have eyolution or revolution, for the evil has grown to such proportions that it must be corrected. The manner of its correction rests with the employ ers of labor. Under our laws as tLey exist at present, at least, every employer has the right to employ whom he pleases at wages fixed by himself. On the other hand the laborer has the right to work or re fuse to work for such wages as may be offered. But beyond this there is another matter. Our national legislature has enacted a law, the avowed object of which is to enable American manu facturers to compete with the cheap labor of the world and pay Ameri cans living wages. Tbe nation is not yet through rejoicing at the enactment of tbe law. It was con ceived in justice, and was passed tor the benefit of all the people. Labor is entitled to its share, and capital is not entitled to all. It takes it, but it takes it in defiance of the law. The law is good, but there are no means provided for enforcing either its letter or spiiit. There is no penalty attached for violating its spirit and intent. The tariff laws should have another clause providing that labor must be paid a given per cent more than like occupations in other coun tries, and the employer failing in this should not be allowed to carry on the business, for Jf protection does not mean protection for all, it does not mean anything. Congress adjourned some time ago, but still the Congressional Rec ord is published, and, the worst of it is, is filled with speeches that were never made, but which the authors are given leave to print as if they had been made. The only object in this is to permit tbe congressman who is supposed to have made them to send to bis admiring constituents thousands of copies of bis alleged speech, at the expense of the govern ment. Congress should take pity on a long-suffering public and stop this practice. There is no reason why the public should be dosed with speeches congress will not consent to listen to. vtever CoU. in ELY'S CREAM BALM Is a positive care. Apply into the nostrils.

Snld She Wouldn't SjienU for Fifty Yearn, iind Now She Can't Talk. The people in the southern part of Ilnncocrk eouTity, Me., are deeply inter ested in a peculiar malady which af flicts M iss Experience Guilford, an aged woman of Kast Illuehill. who has not uttered a word or any audible sound for 50 years. The original reason for Miss Guilford s speechlessness was an g-er because she could not marry the man of her choice. When she was 19 years old she fell in love with William Simpson, the village schoolmaster. They were to be married on June 18, 1847. One of Miss Guilford's rejected suitors told tales about the schoolmas ter, and Miss Guilford's parents stopped the wedding. Miss Guilford thereupon said: "I swear I will not speak a word. though 1 live for 50 years, unless I mar ry this man. She kept her pledge. Her parents died, and she went to live with her mar ried brother. When he died she made her home with a sister, and after the sister's death she went to a eamp in the woods and kept house for a brother, with whom she is now living. All this time she performed her share of the household work and did not show any regret for having made the vow. When the 50 j'ears of silence expired she was visited by a large number of rela tievs and friends, who went to the camp for the purpose of being present when she was at liberty to speak. Soon after the midday meal Miss Gui"-ord dressed herself in the garments which she had not worn for half a century. At two o'clock she stood up before the people, smiled and opened her mouth to speak; but, though she tried hard and got red in the face in trying, she could not utter a sound. Her vocal muscles had become atrophied from long disuse and refused to work. When Miss Guilford found that she could not speak she sent to Bangor for a phj-sieian and took to her bed. The doctor gave no hope of recovery, but suggested that she be sent to a Boston hospital for treatment. As soon as Miss Guilford gets strong enough to take the journey she will make another effort to regain her speech. Her father left- her a good sum of money at his death, which has been growing every year in a savings bank, so she is well able to obtain the treatment she re quires: N. Y. Sun.
