This is ti uly a world of changes. The
Plilladclphlii North' American sadly
announces that "the gang," as it calls
the Philadelphia Uepublicun organiza
tion, has i-uptttied the t'nlon party.
Powlbly that will reconcile "the gang"
to the rib-knockers of Moir and Fol
lows. Concerning Card Inspection.
Till: ACTION ol" the conven
tion of L'nitcd Mine AVork
ors of District No. 1 in pen
alizing with suspension lo
cals which enter upon a strike before
it has hoen sanctioned by the district
executive committee is a judicious and
timely step, which ought to exert :i
quieting and liencilcial influence upon
Industry In these parts. It is essential
to the life of tho miners' union that an
end should he put to capricious local
strikes, many of which are upon tho
lllinsiost pretexts, ninny precipitated
by mischievous boys, who think strikes
are funny. Until the union can do
nionsttute its ability to hold in proper
discipline these turbulent elements,
whom its coming has encouraged into
greater activity than ever before, it
can hardly expect to secure from the
employing inteiests that thorough
confidence which it seeks and which
will be a necessary foundation for per
manent peace and prospeiity in tho
anthracite industry.
We fear that the good effect of the
nction in discouragement of petty Iocnl
strikes will be somewhat weakened by
the decision to enforce more stringent
ly the working card rule. The right of
a labor organization to station men at
the cut) unco of a place of employment
and demand that all who shall seek
to enter must produce a card setting
forth that they me members of the
union and in good standing has never
been upheld by law and cannot be up
held until a radical change is made iu
the constitution of the United States.
Our laws say time any man who be
haves himself may seek work where
ever he chooses and accept it when
over offered, if lie Is satisfied with the
icimt. The employer may contract
with a union to supply him with the
labor ho needs, and In that case it
would bo within the union's right to
see that the men employed were un
der its control, since it could not oth
erwise, lullill its tesponsibility.
Hut as we understand tho situation
in the anthracite Industry the employ
ers huio never contracted with the
United Mine Workers to take control
of tho labor in their mines. That or
ganisation has come Into being and
Into power of Its own accord. Its de
termination to station men at the en
trance Into a working for the purpose
of exacting an inspection of cards is
not in pursuance of any agreement or
contract, but Ik an action wholly arbi
trary on it.-, part. With as much legal
light might it plain a picket aiound
the postolllcc to decide who should and
who should not enter to got mull. No
doubt the union oillciuls are correct
In arguing that for the prchorvation of
the union it is necessary that laborers
receiving the bcneliis of Its achieve
ments should be compelled to pay
their proportion of dues, but It ought
to be possible to adjiibt that matter
without disregard of the commonest
rights of property-owning,
We wish well to the mine workers n"
on K volley, it Is for that icason that

ing William McC'o,ieh to sue.

lector; of Internal revenue fop the Pia
lclphla district are appearing In print.
One veislon credits tho president with
having said that he refused to ie-ap.
point Mr, McClain because the latter
last fall bolted his party ticket in order
to Support the Insurgent movement in
Philadelphia. This Is not true. The
president declined to vu-uppolnt Mc
Clain because the two senators from
Pennsylvania objected to McCIaln's re
appointment, and recommended for tho
place u man equally us good. The. presi
dent has not become a partisan In fac
tlonal division In any state and rigidly
Insists that the men htonio.mea for fed
eral olllce must be capable nml fit men.
Hut that being assureit, he declines to
Invito tinnecoprnry quarrels with son
ittors and rcprpnehtntlvos in congress,
who have the ehoo'lng of cnnclldnlos
for' executive appointment HUbJecl to
tills otic condition of fitness. No other
rule Is possible without party disrup
tion; and Theodore Itooscvclt, however
Independent mentally, Is a Republican
and a believer In party organization.
Tho secretary of the Minnesota
hoard of health, who says that every
smnllpox patient, after recovering,
ought to bo sentenced to jail for not
having been vaccinated ami thus ren
dered immune, may put It strongly.
Yet llicrc Is much In wha( he says. No
civilized community ought to fear
smallpox.
The City's Power lo Fix Prices.
ACCORDING to a decision by
Judge Grosscup of the United
States circuit court, the city
of Chicago, in tho absence of
a specific contract to the contiary, has
the tight to regulate the price of gas
within reasonable limits. Tho question
of what constitutes reasonable limits Is
left to the state courts to determine.
In Chicago a merger of competitive
gas companies was lately formed and
a rate named which. In the opinion of
the city olliclals, was excessive. There
upon the city legislative deportment
passed an ordinance cutting the rate
to 75 cents a thousand feet. The com
pany contested In the courts and the
above-mentioned decision followed.
Its meaning Is that the burden of proof
falls upon the company to show that
the 7." cent rate is an unreasonable
one.
In one sense this Is a victory for
those who claim largo municipal rights
of supervision over public utility cor
porations: but in another view it leaves
Ihe subject about where it was before.
It has long been understood, for ex
ample, that a Seranlonian not satisfied
with the charge made for either water
or gas by the Scranton Gas and Water
company rould make an appeal to
court, and upon production of evidence
showing that the charge was excessive
a reduction would follow. In the case
supposed, however, the burden of proof
would be upon the petitioner for relief;
and it ho succeeded in establishing his
point it would exercise no force in the
case of his next door neighbor, who
would have to go through the same
tedious and expensive process if de
sirous of relief.
The obvious difficulty with this mode
of procedure is that it gives a decided
advantage to the corporation. The cor
poration has its regular corps of law
yers and with comparatively little ad
ditional cost can pursue an action from
court to court until it exhausts the
financial stiength of its single adver
sary and wins through his enforced de
fault. Where an excessive rate is
j proved the corporation does not have
to repay past exactions nor Is recovery
possible; the only benefit of winning a
long drawn out and costly suit against
It is in leference to future charges. So
that it might easily happen, and in our
judgment very frequently does happen,
that the individual citizen, although
conscious of being excessively charged,
feels that it is cheaper to pay the over
charge than to pit his feeble strength
against the mighty strength of the
exacting corporation in a legal battle
Into which he would enter heavily
handicapped from the beginning.
That slate of affairs is but slightly
affected by Judge Orosscup's decision,
assuming that Ills decision is valid and
final. It still remains that the arti
ficial pei son, as the corporation is
called In law, has tho advantage over
the natural person, who was on earth
first, and wiio, In the eye of humanity
at least, is ceitalnly as much entitled
to consideration as the chartered child
of legislative favor. There have been
wild revolts against sueli inequalities;
and they have usually, by their very
wildness, played directly into the
hands of the inteiests at which they
have been aimed. This seems to have
been particularly true of the live per
cent, tax lately levied on the gross re
ceipts of the local water company. Al
though there Is one chance In a million
that the city will ever collect a penny
of this absurd levy, there Is no doubt
whatever of the company's ability to
collect every penny of Hip $i additional
charge put upon eveiy property owner
with thai tax as its very convenient
protest.
Theiu is need of less wildness and
more careful thinking in the handling:

One ot tho erroneous Impressions
Which have been generated In the
course of the discussion over the ques
tion or reciprocity for Cuba is that
those who favor concessions to enable
tho Cubans to set tip their now republic
with fair chance of pinking n success
are hostile to the domestic boot sugar
Industry. Nothing could bo further
from tho truth. Every intelligent
Atherienn desires the prosperous devel
opment ot this promising homo Indus
try. Mut It does not follow that this
development will bo Impaired by reci
procal trade relations with Cuba. There
Is market enough In this country for all
of Cuba's sugar and nil ot the beet pro
duct beside. And even then Undo
Sam's sweet tooth will ache for more.
An Illinois man has conceived the
Idea of publishing an organ designed
entirely for lunatics, under tho name
of the Lunatic Herald. Ho claims to
bo the logical editor of such a journal,
as he has spent live different terms In
various insane asylums, General I.ee
per, for that Is the enterprising luna
tic's name, probably believes himself
the originator of tho scheme which he
proposes to exploit. Ho Is mistaken,
however. In that as in many other
things Pennsylvania takes the lead.
The Idea of a lunatic journal for luna
tics was devised two or three years ago
In Philadelphia, under the name of tho
North American.
With Admiral Schley contiually ou
deck and Prince Henry enroute, it will
be well for Captain Hobson to enter
upon that proposed engagement upon
the lecture platform at once if ho ex
pects to catch a proper share of float
ing enthusiasm.

A Polish ninateur dramatic society Is
among the latest organizations of the
city. An amateur dramatic society
that sticks to the Polish language Is
less to be dreaded by tho public gener
ally than tho English-speaking enter
prises. The Chilean statesmen at the Pan
American conference in the City ot
Mexico have just reason to be proud.
Few orators can boast of having their
efforts followed by a real earthquake.
According to some of the enthusiastic
friends of General Miles, it will now be
in order for almost any army or naval
officer who has a grievance to get oven
by becoming a presidential candidate.
