The Nw York Tribune, while re Crettini; tho enormous waste nnd mis ery c:ms-d by the soft coal strike, manages to extraot one ray of selfish comfort from that unfortunate com plication. That is tho fact that it is Krndunlly compelling tho railroads to use Bnthracite coal ou a larger num ber ot their trains. "Sort coal," it truly declares, "is nn unmitigated uui sauce on a passenger augine, and its use can only be pardoned where hard coal cannot be obtained, or whre trnffla is so Htjht 83 to make the ex pense prohibitory. Many railroads which formerly used soft coal alto gether are now using hard ooal on a few passenger trains, and the comfort of the publlo is thereby greatly In creased. Tbw p.ttrons of a lino, onco accustomed to froadora from cinders and smoke, will hardly permit a return to the old msthods. It is to be hoped that the strike will contribute soma thing to the eduSation of the railroads and people in this direction. " When one considers the compara tively slight difference between "the respective costs of anthracite and bitu miuouB ooal for use as f". l on passon ger locomotives, it is little short of niggardly that a wealthy railroad cor poration, deriving its lavish support from th people, should compel its pnss"ngprs to bsgrimo themselves with groat flakes of soot that inevitably emerge, cloud-lik.', from the bitumi nous locomotive s:W. An incident that illiistrat"s this annoyance will readily be mailed by tho a who, four years ago, attended the Rtpnblictn state convention at Harriburg. It was a sweltering d-ty, and the passen gers who perspired received the addi tional discomfort of successive layers of soot that beotme encrusted ou all exposed portions of ihe faces and hands. No division of Coxey's army lookd less like law-abiding citizens than did thos Republican pilgrims whoattendel the great convention of 1S!)D by the aid of railroads using soft coal fuel, and many were the pledges taken against a voluntary re-accept-anco of mob discomfort. Many traiisportation cimpanies, for tunately, have since seen the error of their ways, sorai voluntarily and some under compnision. It is to be hoped that before this difficulty among bi tuminous producers shall have been settled there will bo an opening of the passenger agents' eyts to the wishes of the traveling public in respeot to smokvless fuel; and that involuutarv change of color will not hereafter be among the penalties of snmra?f travel on economical railroads. As an arivrtiiing scheme, the re ported engagement, of an unknown ac tress toJEfoward ( fould has discounted all of the diamond robbery faks upon record. The contemplated changes in the management of the Wilkss-Barre Times'occnrred on Saturday last when the energetic proprietor, Charles D. Snylr retired, having disposed ot his interests to a stock company repre sented by Llddoa Fliolc, C. O Perkins and Otis Lincoln, as president, senro tary an.l manager. Under the new management it is announctd that the Times will tfonoefortu boa Republican piper and that it-i energies will be di rected to furthering tho best interests of the party and developing tho indus tries and eommerelaJ advantages of Luzorne county. E litor Niven, whose labors have been largely Instrumental in bringing the Times to its present high standard, will be retained and ihe local force will be strengthened by tho infusion of nw blood. TheTimssal ready gives evidences of renewed vigor under the new regime. It is better thnn ever and to all appearances is upon wave of prosperity. THERE appears to be a combined ef fort to keep Oxay off the grass and out of the clover. Under all circumstances it would seem in gool taste for Cozey to rotire from the earth altogether. Chicago. Whole blocks of houses in Chisago are said now to be tenantlees, while "for rent" signs ore ne common as idle mn. The reaction has come. Phila delphia had it. Paris bad it, although Paris h,.s nil Europe to levy on for reinforcement. And every other city has had it that has anchored its hopes to some passing incident and awak ened the next day to find the anohor age gone. Many persons during the light in congress over tho World's fair aite wondered why Chicagoans did not Jet New York have it nnd then softer the reactionary consequences. Rut Chicago was young. Hhe was also eager. Her citizens were ncouitomed to pay ing handsomely for their advertise ments. And they thought it no ex traordinary undertaking to hold a gigantlo World's fair largely for the benefit of the publleity it would bring. We are not prepared to say unre servedly that snoh a policy waa utterly wrong. It was plucky. It was heroic. It exhibited the American charnoter In one of its fundamental instincts. It was In line with what had made Chi cago. It waa in line with what, in a smaller way, had made Scranton. The contract waa a massive one. The bite was a tremendous tax on maatieation nnd digestion. Chicago, all things con eidered, acquitted beraelf most credit i nbly. For the babv city of our great urban centres she succeeded to an ex tent that astounded spectators from abroad. With evontful centuries stretching backward in their perspec tive, Europeans wore astonishod, dumbstruck, at the achievement of this big child of the prairies, whose history aa a city is spanned by tho life time of many living men. Yet a reaotion was certain. The thing had been overdone. In a buei ueaa aeuse, investments had been mul tiplied not judiciously but mndly. In h speculative sense the gambling in stinct had led to hopeless excesses. The fair really lasted only one brief saasou. The fair "boom" was dis tended upon a basis that would havo done credit to eternity. One could perceive tho inevitable eonsequonca without needing a microscope. Even in tho best of normal times, there would havo been a sbrinkiug of values. With a tremendous panio thrown iu, the collapse has beeu little short of calamitous. Chicugo wrll recover. Wo do not wish to convey any false-impressions on that point. The future capital of the continent that is to say the business capital, tho literary oap ital.thi foons point of the greatest ac tivitieswill be right where the murky Chicago river emptios its viscid cargo iuto bine eyod Lake Michigan. But the recovery will bo alow, it will take time. It will take patieuae. It will also take hard work. Those contem plating going to Chicago, Without definite missions iu viow, tira reemi mended to remain awty. Cliioa-ji) is no plaoo for work-seekers. There are better opportunities right here at home. Henry Wattkkson these days is very unhappy. Too present trend of senatorial tariff tinkering is even less to his liking than is the moral trend of blue grass chivalry. The "Wilson" bill as it now stands he calls "a mon grel piebald of patehes nnd pusillanim ity, a grotcsquo hodgepodge of pre tense and pettifogging, a nondescript abortion of incompetency, selfishness, cowardiee and treachory. " All this, tor, because it neglecta to "fip, tear, pull up and annihilate" the "accursed conspiracy called protectieu. " Mr. Wattersou's wrath excites our sym pathy; bnt it is trivial compared to the determined, if less effusive, indig nation of the masses. Coxeyism Defined by Coxey. Coxeyisin has at lunt been intelli gibly defined by its author. Ic is not an intelligent theory ; but it is at least a lucid definition. Says Ooxey: "I would have the government issno money against municipal non-interest bearing bonds deposited with the sec retary of the treasury ut Washington. These bonds would be issusd to half tho municipality's assessed valuation. In other words, there would be two dollar' worth of property back of every dollar issued by the government against the bonds. It now issues money to banks upon much easier terms. The bonds would not be sold. They would mpreiy be held as security. They would be adequate, because real estate cannot bo run away with or bo carried off by embezzlers. They would be sta ble because, with money issued against them, the work of improvement would go steadily on, and property dog not decrease in value where there is plenty of work for labor and improvements are persistently made. And each year the municipality would redeem 4 per c?nt. of tho isu, so that in twenty five years tho total would be wiped out." This money Coxey would expend in building good roails, constructing mu nicipal sewers, bridges, turnpikes, cul -verts and other public works and, in doing anything whatever that wonld, on the one hand, tend to give present employment to the 4,000,000 adult men now estimated to be idle in this coun try; and on the other hand, add to the value of the municipal property that stands behind the proposed new issue of money. It will bo readily perceived there is a certain ahrowdly deaigned air of plausibility about this 'scheme that quickly recommends it to dissatis fled men with greater z?al than discre tion. What is not cleor is bow the new federal money issue would be more stable or more helpful in the employ ment of labor than would be a similar issus and sale by each municipality of municipal bonds. A city that is solv ent can readily find a market for its bonds. Ona that is not solvent ought not to be tacked on as a drag to the financial credit of the general govern ment. The precedent that Coxey would establish wonld be a dangeroua ona if for no other reason than that it would encourage cougress to interfere with municipal governments in matters of purely local concern; which would at present be unconstitutional, and which, ven if that objection were removed by a constitutional amendment, would still remain unrepnbliean and unwiae. Ii it p.e true that under the term of their existing permits the electrical companies of this oity ean. without further legislation, be restricted to the smallest number of street poles neces sary to properly conduct their busi ness, that fact should accelerate the proposed adoption of union polea lim ited to one-half or one-third the num ber now standing Among conserva tive cltizans there is no wish to oripple these local companies nor to impnee unfair or uncommon exactions. Bnt in their own defense they ahonld be willing to co-operate liberally in ef forta to improve tba alghtliness of onr etreete; and we are glad to note that many of them arn thus oo-operating. Exchanges aue beginning to cast shadows of donbt npon the stories in reference to forest fires in Rhode Is land. One paper cruelly intimates that there is not room enongh in the little state for anything of greater dimen sions than an ordinary local campaign bonfire. Gleason, the horse trainer, baa ap plied for a divorce from his wife on the ground of crnel and inhuman treat ment. Mr. Oleaaon flnda that it is much easier to tame hones than wo men. Earning bread by the aweat of cne'a brow cau never be aa popular, even In these daya of Coxeyite clamor for work, aa an existence upon birds and bottlea in a fat position under the gov ernment.

Who pan satisfactorily unewer theae quos tions ? It now looks its if the bravo Coxoy ites, who weathcrod the storms upon their weary inaroh from Ohio to the District of Columbia, will become demoralized and dissolve as an or ganize! body before John Barleycorn. It is possible that a bluo pencil can b.i made to piny a patriotic purpose at iarrisburg this weeK, whem it comes to the silver plank. The matrimonial adventorea of Miss Lillian Russell appoar to be patterned very much upon the Mrs. Frank Lsslie standard.

Syracuse Herald. Mitor J. V. (Joist of the Lancaster New Bra, nfter offering a half column of excel lent advice to boys who waul to succeed iu lite, particularly farmer's smi, makes the following exoeediugly sensible obser vations: "A poor boy cannot earn a farm by taking a tin pall nnd, going into a Meld, sit down and wait for the cows to bach up and bo milked: or by sitting around stoves ami taverns, whittling sticks, telling lish stories, and nfiirming that farming des not pay owing to western competition and unjust railroad discrimination, any more than a poor boy m a city can expect to be come a merchant prince by loaQng around billiard saloons and on street corners, smoking cigarettes, disevssing the tariff, twirling a cane, and cursing the men who havo succeeded iu life. A poor boy iu the CDuntry who expicts to succeed in life must be spry and hustle around for a liv ing exactly as a poor bety in n city has to do tn succeed. The American farmer.wno tills the soil with his ewu hands nnd owns a farm, is probably as independent ns a man can possibly bo who lias to earn his living, ami a groat deal happier than so-me mil lionaires who do not."

A song leapt up within me, Bnt oro my pen could write It passed my spirit's portals And onward took its ilight. My mind went forth pursuing, Ilnply to fetch it back. But all in vain tho offort, No trace remained, alack! Into a train of miiBing My saddened spirit fell, When stole there softly o'er me A vision's pleasaut spell.
