ference from tho standpoint of justice

Confer or Fight.
""Tr-mc ANNOUNCEMENT that
I lho three district presidents
JL. of the mine woikorn' union,
together with John Mitchell,
will endeavor next week to arrange a
conference with the representative;) of
the operators calls for tho hone that
they may succeed. It is desirable that
there should lie 'an early decision on lho
part of the operators. They must ere
this have decided In their own minds
what course they intend to pursue; and
If this Is the case we trust, that they
will announce their purpose frankly. If
there is not to bo a conference, then
the sooner this Is known and the con
sequences prepared for, the lxtter. If
there Is to he one, the knowledge to this
effect should be released In time to
overt the hemitnbiiifr effects upon busi
ness of a long period of uncertainty.
Our community has eottfn over its
fluttering s-pell on the labor question.
It is now ready for peace or war. Either
will be preferable to agitation and sus
pense. The community prefers peace
and sees no reason why' peace should
not prevail. Hut if there is to ho a
light, let us have it to a finish in order
that permanent peace may follow.
The proposition of the miners' union
'that the operators confer with it for
tho purpose of ascertaining whether or
not an agreement covering one year
cannot be drawn up and signed by both
sides is not unreasonable. If there is
to be a union at nil it should bo one
worthy of recognition and so bound to
the faithful performance of its contract
that any violation may be punished as
it deserves. That there will be a union
is self-evident, for it already exists.
Tho men have a perfect right to have
one and so long as they have It and it
contiols their conduct and policy It Is
entitled to the same recognition given
by men or Intelligence to any other
manifest fact in the pathway of the
business transactions. If operators and
tinion representatives, after a frank
and cordlnl confeience, face to face
around a table. Unci that they cannot
agree and that there is no reasonable
piobabillty of their coming to an agree
ment by peaceable means, then it will
be time to think of the alternative.
Anything but a prolonged period of
quibbling and haggling,
The election of Costello is urged as a
tehuke to tho "ripper" bill, nut tho
Ucpubllcan platform rebukes it quite
as strongly as does the Democratic.
Ilepublican anti-rlpperites have there
fore no Incentive for supporting a
Democrat. Evan Morris Is well quali
lied for the eontrollershlp. Vote for
him.
The Day of tho Younjj Man.
w
OFTEN hear It declared
that this Is the vournr
innn'K day and that the
old men are being hus
tied to the rear, that tho pace of the
world. Is growing too swift for u man
after ho rsaches middle lira and i,
fJndH himself laid on tho shelf, indeed
It .was recently assorted that a certain
great railway system hud decided to
dispense with tho services of ull men
beyond tho ago of forty-live as being
too old to give tho best returns for their
sajarjes!. This assertion caused vast
consternation and with good reason,
If a man's working days are to be over
,rlt, such an early porlod, ho might well
join n tho .lamentation of (he saw-dust
doll. It might also be questioned In
view of tho truth of this assertion
.Whether the cheerful statistics of tho
..blQloglbtti, that the .stay of morals on
earth Is being gradually lengthened, Is
.r'P..fy received with any special ucelu-
.ina'tjoiw of rejoicing by tho average
man, Work Is for tho worker, find as n,
useful existence Is tho happiest; to
have that usefulness cut off in middle
life. Is tq remove tho Inspiration of
. living. .
Hut tho facts do not bear out tho
,'st'tttement (hut this Is exclusively lho
, SPUDS mun's clay, AVhllo young men
have more opportunities pow thun ever
befonj and uro taking udvantngo of
these opportunities, talent nn ability
aro pot limited by ago any more than
thuy have been in the past two' hundred
years. Men of udvamilng years, who
still retain their notour to direct great
Interests and great issues, aro tlie men
whom no oncoming nnny of youth
the'men whoso ,ywrsniay accumulate
liUjt whosa force and personality nre
ni'U, thnt no younger' one's could -tako
HI)Vlr1.ilnce. It, realty depends more on
Shim men grow old (ban when they
ftrow8 old, as to the date fixed by thf
wotld for their retirement from uu-
V.vily.
"Nrt belter Illustration of this fact can
bo cited than the Interesting debato
this week In tho senate on tho J'hlllt)
plno question, when two men, ench 75
years old,, entered Into n contest of
words, which In earlier generations
would have gone Into lho school read
ers as an example of eloquence and
wit from the grontcst statesmen In tho
land. Nowadays, as Mr. Heed onco said,
It Is too true that a statesmen Is a suc
cessful politician who Is dead, mul.wc
do not motto much of the oratory 'we
have because we have so much of It
that we do not recognize It as oratory,
while the orators still live.
The two senators to whom refcrenco
Is made, Senators Hour, of Massachu
setts, and Piatt, of Connecticut, who
have represented their states In the
senate for. twenty-live years, gave no
evidence of tho abating of tho vital
forces which .have mndo them leadors
for a half century. They hold the list
eners spell-bound until long past the
tljiif when senators aro accus.tomed to
leaving. There aro very few young men
Iri cither house today who can thus
control an American audience by n con
tinued play of splendid eloquence. It
was a cnat! when years are eliminated
fmin the subject.
;There are. other mem today Whose
grasp on affairs does not weaken with
Hie years. Senator Quay Is one whoso
power the march of age, uncertain
hftiUth and the malignant flight of cn
nllly combined, are too feeble to dimin
ish? Today his touch In statecraft is
pe'r'iaps more potent than It was
twenty-five years ago. Senator Piatt's
Influence Is another which is very slow
In waning and one in which age has
no effect. Whoever thinks of age as
affecting Senator Deuew? In the per
son of the present congressman from
this district we have another splendid
example of unimpaired mental power,
keen foresight and marvelous sagacity
at the Mine in life when many are en
feebled. The truth or the matter is this: The
young man who lias enough ability to
prepare a place for bis elder years will
llnd no one to dislodge him from that
place until one day the mighty force
which none may withstand removes
him from the world. Old men are not
set aside by the young until that abil
ity is far on tho wane. There is too
much need for wise beads and brave
hearts and steady nerves, and "we do
not count a man's years until he has
nothing else to count."

The Eight Hour Day flanla.
T
HE SPECTACLE presented
by the parties who have
been endeavoring to have
the hours of labor at the
steel mills engaged In government
contracts restricted to eight, borders
upon the lidiculous. At the recent
hearings before the house-committee on
lnbor General Superintendent Johnston,
of the Hethlehcm Steel works; ex
Secretory of the Navy Herbert and
others representing large concerns do
ing work, for the government held that
it was Impossible to prepare many of
the large pieces of steel armor used on
battleships In eight hours' time, or In
eight hour shifts, and that the success
of the operation depended largely upon
longer hours. It was also shown that
the system worked to the advantage of
tho employed, as large bonuses were
received for overtime. So far as ap
pears upon the surface, no demand for
eight hours has come from the steel
workers themselves, who no doubt real
ize the gravity of the situation, but
rather from the meddlesome class of
politicians who Imagine that prestige
can be gained in alleged efforts to bene
fit a class of worklngmen that Is prob
ably the best paid among the skilled
laborers In the country. It seems too
bad that valuable time should be con
sumed In combatting the misguided
efforts of the uneasy people who are
forever engaged In the work of pro
moting legislation that Is not needed.
A number of southern gentlemen who
expect to gruduato at the Nebraska
state university next June have an
nounced that they will forfeit their
diplomas rather than be addressed by
Mr. Hooker T. Washington us com
mencement orator. It Is plainly evident
that the teachings of the faculty of the
Nebraska university have fallen upon
stony ground.

A good many persons are worrying
at the thought of what might have

peach crop before us, this seems a

In nil Instances (here seems no reason
for unusual anxiety on the subject so
long as the wearers do not Insist In
keeping the hatu on ut places of enter
tainment. A duel Is now In projpect between
two Spanish politicians arising from
slanderous criticism. It might not bo
a bad Idea If American Mtatcsmcn and
editors who occasionally have trouble
of this nature could be persuaded to
adopt the modern duel as a means of
settling dltllcultlcs. 1hcso duels are
less oxpcnplve than libel suits nnd uio
not u bit more dangerous.
