EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION.
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.

MISS GUILFORD'S VOW.
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.
