Tun PltOPOSITIOX of a par tial strike, limited to thtee of the six working days of week, as embodied In the programme of the Sliitinokln conven tion In case satisfactory concessions shall not be received from the oper ators, Is, we believe, a new feature in labor campaigns. We do not recull a parallel. Not long ago complaint was common among the mlne-woikers because trade conditions allowed many of them only half time or less. At a period when trade conditions lender full time possi ble and when their earnings aie larger than in many years It sounds strange to hear tho proposition of half-time offered in behalf of the mine-workers. "We can hardly think that this repre sents the best judgment of the more thoughtful and conservative mineis. It looks more like ft forced compromise between indicate wishing an im mediate and full-fledged strike, and conservatives not in favor of u strike at all. The saving pail of the rfhaniokln pro gramme is in the opportunity allowed for further negotiations. If the theori st some or the mliu-imton olllclals is :orrect that the financial interests In control of the operation of the anthra cite industry do not want a strike at this time, because of the HI effects one would have upon the llnanciul situa tion, this opportunity provides an ave nue to peace. We could better judge the chances of peace if we knew exact ly what concessions on the part of the operators would suffice to Insure it. That the mine workers expect the oper ators to grant all that has been de manded of them Is hardly to be believ ed; undoubtedly there is a llexlbllily in tho situation which will appear when active negotiations are lesumed. It may not be' made knmwi to the public at once, but it will filter through In course of time. For this reason, we consider that the chances of t strike are fewer than the chances of another prosperous year in our mines, benefitting not only the miner, his family and the labor that is c ontingent upon his prosperity, but likewise making all forms of local busi ness more active. It would seen: that a little more set ting together might be a good thing for all concerned In South Africa, Petitioning for Statehood. , OM13 VKftY strong reasons are advanced for the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Ok lahoma territories to state hood. AVilh an area nearly as large as Is'ew York and New Englund combined, with 175,000 populutlon nnd $200,000,000 worth of property taxable for state purposes, Arizona's case is strong, hut not -as strong as that of her two sister territories. Now Mexico, equal In size to Xew York, New England and Xew Jersey combined, has a30,000 inhabitants ot whom three-quaiters speak, read nnd writo tho English language; .$.'100,000,000 worth ot tnxnblo property and a debt so low that It It admitted It would bo the lowest taxed community in the nation. As its delegate in eongross, Hon. Uernard S. Rodey, points out In a recent contrlhutlpn to tho New Yoik Tribune, it is (list In the nation in the number of Blieep It possesses and raises and In tho-number ot pounds of wool it pioduees annually; it is second In the nation as u cattle grower; It Is first lit tho amount of money It 1ms Invested in publlo buildings pef capita: It is llrst In the nation in the non-sectarian pub ic school buildings which It possesses ,ier capltaj- and In the money Invested In them, and it Is first in the nation in tho amount of money per capita that it spends unnually in tho education of its child! en. It Is also first In the na tion In the number of newspapers per capita thut aro published within Its borders. It, has had constructed within its bordersTubout seven hundred miles of rallioad wjlthln a year nnd a half, und has been otherwise so piosperous that it bus had on increase of population of between forty und fifty thoiibaml peo ple In tliaf time, it litis 'been' necessary to have established about fifty post ofllces to accommodate them. The fueTB'aff'fo Oklahoma are better known, but It will do no harm to ie henrse them. Though only 12 years old, this territory Is as largo us Ohio; has half a million population, most of It educated und progressive, a populutlon greuter In numbers than thut of Ver mont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Florida, Mo.ntqna, Wyoming, Washington, North Dakota, Oregon or South Dakota; has a taxable ftlll valu ation exceeding $300,000,000 with only J300.000 of- territorial debt: out of tia t-ounty-settt owns' only one lacks u j 5 railroad-: has 200 national and territorial banks with $20,000,000 aggregate re sources; lots 2500 publlo school houses or otic, for every SOi) Inhabitants', has a number of cities with 10,000 to 1 5,0)0 population nnd all modern Improve incuts; and Is a gulden spot, raising .10,000,000 bushels of wheat, 00,000,000 bushels of coin, 200,000 bales ot cotton and much fine fruit hist year, Its ngil cultural possibilities being almost un limited. Oklahoma and New Mexlro are Re publican in politics, while Arizona Is Democratic. The JJeinocratH In caucus have voted to favor statehood for these territories nnd we see no reason why the Republicans should not inako It ununlmous. In any event, the udnils slon of Okluhoina Is demanded by every consideration of Justice. A winning political Issue cniruot bo made of the proposition to abolish In junctions In labor disputes. The right to enjoin against lawlessness Is a nec essary precedent ot the right to punish. An Encouraging Balance Sheet. FROM OOOI) Democratic au thority the Washington cor respondence or the Philadel phia Record wo leurn that lite sin plus in the United Suites treas ury for the llscal year closing June :!0 Is likely to be the largest on record, The Record correspondent estimates it at $100,000,000. Last year It was $77, 000,000; the year previous, $70,000,000. In his analysis of tills remarknblo show ing he emphasizes two leasons: In creased receipts and decreased ' ex penses, both ci editable to Republican administration. Customs receipts for the ten elapsed months of the Usual year Increased $10,000,000. internal revenue leceipts, however, fell away $20,000,000 as com pared with last year, In consequence of the reduction in war taxes which be came effective last July. It is In ex penditures that the showing Is most striking, For the ten elapsed month's of this llscal year they were $310,:;7,4G1 as compared with $3S1,'212,27S for the same months of tho mevious year. This decline in government expenses has been chiefly in the war department from $112,931,553 to $S4,723,314, a de crease of neatly $200,000 a day. The taking off of all remaining war taxes, as the Republican majority plans to do, will tedtice receipts about $77, 000,000 a year, but these flgiues show that there would still be a surplus large enough to meet all ordinary emer gencies. Our military expenses are likely to decrease yet further as pacifi cation proceeds In the Philippines and all but a few troops are withdrawn from Cubu. The fact that appropria tions by congress are being made eco nomically, in spite of strong temptation to extravagance, adds to the cheerful ness of this national llscal prospect. Republican administration pays. Colonel AVatterson expresses the be lief thut Pjcsident Roosevelt is headed toward a dictatorship, That, we be lieve, wusone of the charges brought against Lincoln; and les than two years ago some weie saying the same thing about McKluley. Colonel Watter bon Is finding it extremely difllcult to work up a sc.ue that will catch. Danger in Compromise. GENERAL WOOD, who certain ly ought to be accepted by tho Atneiicnn people as good uthoiity, repeals what he suid some months ago, that a 20 per cent concession to Cuban sugar would be Insufficient to ufToid Ihe relief nec essary if the Cuban republic Is to have a fair start. The minimum of suffici ency In his judgment Is 113 1-3 per cent, President-elect Palma says 50 per cent. If General AVood is right it may well be asked whether it Is worth while to light longer for the 20 per cent, bill now before the house. Theie would be no victory for nnybody in a piece of legislation insufliclent for the noeds of Cuba and destructive of Republican harmony at home. If a 20 per cent, bill can be passed by administration press Uie, it is probable that a 33 1-3 per cent, bill could. Would It not bo advisable to make the light on the basis which would Insure a victory If (successful? Those at Washington doubtless know best, but ft om a. distance it would .seem that a Hat defeat for the administration would be as creditable as a compromise on a basis below sufllclency. A defeat would injure most those Republicans responsible for it. A compromise would please neither side nor the Cubans either. The small-pox scute Is followed by a threatened epidemic of spring fever. Our Ex.PresIilents. N ACADEMIC discission of tho question, What shall be done with our ex-presldents, revived recently by the New York Tiilniup, which faqis an amend ment to the constitution making them senators for life, lias elided tin in struottve letter from that veteran dlplo. matlht nnd publicist, John Hlgelow. Mr, lllgelow favois tho Tribune's Idea nnd goes further. He would allow to these lire bonators a salary not less than halt their pay as prehldents, This would not prove much of a. tax upon the public puise, for there Is living to day only one ex-presldent Mr. Cleve landand the average number for the 105 years since Washington has been less than three. "For the sum of, say $10,000 yearly," Mr. Hlgelow wiites,"tlie senate and the nation might have prolited by the counsel, experience and example of Washington for nioio than two years longer, of John Ad.uus for more than a quarter of a century, of Jefferson for mote t)mii seventeen years, of Madison for more than nine teen years, or Jbhn (Juincy Adams for nioie than eighteen years, of Andrew Jackson for more than eight years, of Martin Van Huron for more than twenty-one years, of Cleneru a rant fur nt least llfteen years, and ot'Grover Cleve land alreudy 'seventeen years, assum ing, us Is probable, that ho would not have accepted a rouoinlnatlon for the presidency, and live years If ho had," Mr, Hlgelow gives this pathetic picture of (ho ptesent fate of an ex-presldent; Theiu U in) tltitcn or ilai of lilUoin to tlliil cult to tljwdfy, none hoe nailtlou it In to many lar-ciU -nskwaul uud cmbjirtitIii;, j Hut of an tvi'ic.lilenl of the lulled bull-.-- A yc(ttily Ihe Mug, today "none to poor to do lilin tcicrciiee" at once lhr moot tmulilrumis .aid one of Ihe most tumerlcM piHnto clllrotij of the rrputillc, Hcinoienllhsr not only the nnt-lii-noc (if eluntclcf whltll colled lilin to Ihe thief liiiitlnliarj, but the (ii'tnimilated iJWInetloii nlilcli the tltalinrjrit ol it dutlci for one or nioie tcrhn nceiirly IkroK lie h lelegiited tn Ihe uiiiip.iiiitlir- nlxunlly of pillule life, tin iiilipotttd liy n slliule expression ot the nation's Itr.itltiide or the ullslilest ollklnl recognition nl Ihe lov the public srrilie smlnlm In parllnn with hU unique experience nhd (ritilinl fiimlll nrlty Willi public nnalrs. llo taken with lilin Into lelliemcnt no oillk-.it tank, no title, not cm a ribbon, nor a peuuilslte uiiIcm It be the franldtifr prhlloeo-to ilMinxuUli him front the obcuret nnd lcnt dcsciWiiK of hi coimlijnicn.

AVe do not doubt that there Is truth In Mr. Rlgolow's further argument that the prospect of honorable usefulness In a body like the United Hlates senate, without the political uncertainties und risks which surround elected members, would go far to strengthen the olllclal conduct of u weak president and lm provp that of nil presidents, blnce hu man nature Is much the same in high place as In low. It would, as Mr. Hlge low remarks, "furnish the president the strongest inducement possible for giv ing the people an acceptable adminis tration, If for no other puiposo than to strengthen his influence in the more enduring position toward which he would be gravitating." The change is one "not likely to come, but one which most thinking people will tigrbe is highly desirable. m The report that District Attorney Jerome is to make another attempt to secure the indictment of Florence Burns is probably unauthorized. No amount of evidence would lead to a conviction in this case. The people's money might better be saved for more hopeful prosecutions. It Is to be regretted that the crop of small boys armed with air-guns and flobert rilles is much larger than the flocks of American song birds In Scran ton. WAYSIDE NOTES.
