Enlarging the Contest. IT WAS asserted some days ago In it dispatch sent from Wilkes Barro to the Chicago Record Herald by that paper's Washing ton correspondent, Walter Wellman, that President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America was so strongly oppos-ed to u sympathetic strike of soft coal miners under yearly contract that If a call for a convention to consider such a strike should be is suedand leaueht from Ave districts makes Its issuance obligatory upon him and a decision to strike voted, he would resign his position rather than appear before the country in the light of a contract breaker. The call, President Mitchell an nounces, Is now to be issued, and the public will not have long to wait to see if Mr. Wellman wrote with author ity. The call is for a convention "to consider the advisability of inaugurat ing a national suspension of work." In considering this matter tho convention will naturally tako Into account the ex istence, In all but a few bituminous fields, of yearly contracts binding the soft coal workers'to remain at work un til next spring. The validity of these contracts is unquestioned. They are onforcible In court so far as the opera tors are concerned and would be en forcible against the United Mine Work ers of America If that were an incor porated body owning property. Mor ally the contracts nie as binding upon the union as upon the operators. The side which should break them would rightfully be censured by all believers in the integrity of business agreements. Once broken, it is doubtful if the ag Kileved party which in the pr.esent In stance would be the operators would eons-em to their renewal except under compulsion; and a contract secured by coniDiilsion is void. The argument advanced by those wlio favor a national suspension is that self preservation Is the highest law of na ture; that the life of the union Is now threatened, and that It can only be pre served by the stoppage of all coal min ing and the bringing of Irresistible pres sure from all branches of productive In dustry to bear upon the anthracite operators to grant concessions sutllclent to put an end to the strike. But assum ing a national suspension possible, Is It certain that the effect would bo as thus calculated? Pressure of tremendous forco has already been brought to bear upon the anthracite operators, without modifying their attitude. They an nounce that they have chosen their po sition advisedly and will not deviate from It, They say they aro ready to tieut with their former employes when the latter are ready to resume work and that until that time they will do as they have been doing for five weeks simply protect their property nnd mark time. Unquestionably a general suspension of fuel production would bring tho an thracite situation to n crlbls. To bring it about Is, however, a big undertaking, The, anthracite territory Is compact and linilteqji.soft coa mining extends over it large number of- status and thero Is hardly any limit to the available sup ply. The date fixed for the convention, July 17, is remote enough to Insure thorough discussion and deliberation. Sufllclent unto tho tlay are the perplex ities thereof, II !. , . M The message of the Illinois Democracy to Mr, Bryan was undoubtedly sent by wireless telephone. y Significant, TTJfDBn THE leadership of T, ?1v J'ar'S' K'ro superintendent vi fiuuuu Jiiiiiiiiitia mm tsw - grounds at Harrlsburg, tho WWiHibllcnns of Chester county have ln "structed their legislative nominees to 4'oJge for State Senator iyilllani P. Sny tfep' 'of Chester county for United -States senator, This- notion is consld edsljritifldant 'because of the feeling jj;hlirjeist3 among tho friends of John T. Elkln at tht part taken by Senator Penrose in tho recent gubernatorial canvass. Senator Penrose, although reputedly 'a candidate for re-ejection, took an ac 'Wvo part In opposing Mr, Klkln's pom. nation for governor; and Id" hi in, right' & or wrongly-, .gossip credited the con- s. . - version of Israel W. Durham and tho solid block of Sfl Philadelphia dele Bates to Judge Pcnnypacker after Mr, Durham had, "sink or, swlrri," declared for Klkln, The friends of tho Indiana candidate, It disposed to place obstacles In Penrose's path, could undoubtedly make trouble for hlin, Inasmuch as they control a largo proportion of the coun ties whose representatives and senators will have the choosing of Mr, Penrose's successor. Whether they will do this remains to be seen, Tho action of tho Chester county convention may bo an Isolated one or a link In a chain of po litical developments. It Is too early yet to say which. Two planks In the Chester platform are worthy of notice, apart from the In structions regarding the senatorshlp. One "earne3tlyIrecommentts the passage by the legislature of a uniform prim ary ballot law, by which all counties of the Btaleshnll be compelled to conduct their primary elections on the same day and hours throughout the com monwenllli," The other condemns most scathingly the net of Walter P. Rey nolds, one of Chester's delegates to the recent state convention, In betraying Instructions for Klkln by surrendering his proxy to a man who voted for PennypneUer After setting forth that the Instructions for Klkln had been unanimously passed by the county con vention which had elected Reynolds a delegate tho platform continues: After these Instructions were given, and within two weeks of the Republican state convention, tho said Walter P. Reynolds pledged himself In writing to vote for the above-named gubernatorial candidate, vol unteering at the same tlmo by word of mouth, as well ns tn his written pledge, that It would not only be his pleasure, but ills duly, to vote In accordance with the Instructions which ho considered binding, and in addition to which the strong prevailing sentiment, as he un derstood it, In this county was In favor of the Hon. John P. Elkin. Notwith standing these Instructions and pledges, written and verbal, lie knowingly gave his proxy to one who cast the vote to which the said Walter P. Reynolds was entitled hi direct violation of tho instruc tions and pledges, and this convention de sires to place tills resolution of censme upon the heads of all who were concerned In this betrayal of a sacred trust. More of this kind of treatment, ju diciously distributed, would exert a pur ifying Influence upon pollticul methods. To a group of neighbors who greeted him after his defeat at Harrlsburg, At torney General Elkin went on record with the statement that "the fight for clean polities. In which he had enlisted, had only just begun." If Ir. Klkln can organize and carry to success a cam paign for uniform primaries and fair dealing at state conventions lie will de serve any ofllce within the common wealth's, gift; and it looks as though lie were headed In that direction. With characteristic modesty the Democratic party up in Maine now claims responsibility for ail the good fortunes of Cuba. This will be a sur prise to some of the unterrllied rank and file who have been led to believe that Republicans had left things in 'a horrible state down there. Give Cuba a Chance. (By Walter J .Ballard.) ON MAY 20, we surprised the world by turning over to the republic of Cuba ownership and control of the Island, to gether with all the improvements and reforms we had built and Instituted, besides nearly $1,500,000 in cash and bonds. This was only right. We had promised to do It and we did it, cheer fully. But that is not all we ought to and must do. Cuba has suffered so much and so long that the profits (".') of her industries are at the lowest possible point. She is starting business anew, practically without capital, and with a heavy load of debt to pay off, as fully bO per cent of her planters are inort Kasred to the banks. Unless her planters, particularly the poorer ones, can be helped to such marketing fac ilities as will enable them to produce at a living prolit, they will go to tho wall and it will be a case of "Love's Labors Lost" as far ns we are con cerned. As we use 4,600,000,000 pounds of sugar yearly, and only produce, in cluding Hawaii and Porto 'Rico, C00, 000,000 pounds, we want Cuba's sugar and want it badly. Unless she can sell It to us, she cannot well sell It at all, as she has no money to spend in open ing fresh markets. There is one way, and only one way, to give Cuba a chance to live, and that Is to give iter limited reciprocity for a term of years. It need not be perman ent. Tho fact that 400 years of Spanish oppression failed to crush Cuba's spirit and pneigy Is evidence that our island neighbors are capable of progress along Industrial, and all other lines. If they aro given only half a chance. The moderation with which they have re ceived their freedom confirms tills. Thero was no shouting when they saw their single star flag raised but, as Senator Mason of Illinois testified tho other day In the senate, strong men fell on their knees In prayer and wept tears of Joy, Cilve Cuba a dinner, It is our duty nay, It Is our privilege. Wo did not plunge Into tho Spanish sea to save Cuba from drowning, merely to leave her naked and shivering on tho shore. Figures Just Issued further show thut Cuba must have help. Her exports for the ten months ended April 30, 1902, are over $10,000,000 less than for the same ten months of 1001, the figures being $39,727,905, against $49,969,050. Her Im ports Increased nearly $1,000,000 In the same period, or $55,350,952 against $34, 412,262, Juht think for a moment what the loss of that $11,000,000 means to a people who aro utterly devoid of any reserve wealth or capital. It Is like taking $11,000,000 out of tho llvo assets of a struggling business firm on tho eve of a panle This drain means bank ruptcy, if It Is not stopped, Whoso In terest Is it, primarily, tn stop It? Ours, emphatically ours. We want Cuba's products and wo want her to buy our products and manufactures, If siie goes Into bankruptcy, as she will If not helped by us, we will lose what will be now, and far more so eventually, a good customer, and not only that, we shall also lobe, tho use of a nearby purchasing market for the sugar, tobac co and other products of which our consumption is su large. Let us also remember that Cuban merchants are worth doing- business with, They ure reliable, They keep their word and pay their debts. The very few business failures amon them during the Insurrection nnd American occupation proves this. Mow easily, and for fcnln, they could have stopped payment during the disturbed times, had they so desired. But thry did not, nnd therein they merit our respect and business nsslstnlirc and co-operation. Cuba Is not asking charity but busi ness co-oporatlon. Bho offers us fully ns much, reciprocally, as she asty of us. The proposition Is practically a part nership, wherein the gain will be mutual urobnbly more on our side than on hers as she manufactures noth ing, and wo manufacture everything she needs. Cuba has been our "Junior partner" satisfactorily for about four years. Shall we withhold the neces sary further encouragement, now that we have put her In full charge" of tho business? Such a course would be folly on the part of a business man, and worse than folly on the part of Cuba's big cousin, the United States. Give Cuba a chance. We notice that our correspondent, Walter J, Ballard, of Schenectady, N. Y appears In the Protectionist of Bos ton, for June, with two good articles. One Is In favor of ship subsidies and Is entitled, "Our Failure in South America." Tho other deals, with the South African phase of our commercial expansion, with the title, "Our Invasion of South Africa." Mr. Ballard's eco nomic articles In various papers and magazines are being reud and appre ciated. The decision to send American war ships to Venezuela Is wise. The warring elements of that land of unrest arc al ways more civil to citizens of the nation that has a battleship or two Balling along the coast. Crude petroleum experimenters are making rapid progress In solving the fuel question. The much despised oil stove may yet become a national insti tution. And now the peace loving critics' of the administration are finding fault be cause It is alleged that government rep resentatives paid General Gomez to be good. ANENT THE CORONATION. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Apropos of a wpildwide topic England and her coronation may I ask pel mission for a few ldnarks. The coio nalion of Edward VII, King of Great Britain and Ireland and his' consort. Queen Alexandia, during the present month eilgiosses public attention at home and throughout tho British empire. All honor to the king in his heartfelt desire for peace and the proclamation of such throughout his South African possessions before his public accession. Tho eyes of all Christendom look forth with becom ing Intel est to the coronation services at Westminster Abbey on the aitli Inst. For grandeur and depth of meaning it will be unsiii passed In Biltlsh history and as such it will he recorded. Of the king it can be said, lie is a man of broad mind, of liberal heart, considerate of his sol diers and sailors In peace and war; hence his empire-wide popularity. In the same strain it can be said of Queen Alexandra. The liuspicious event will be witnessed by representatives from the crowned heads of Europe as from tho two repub lics of Franco and these United States In rank by virtue of their exalted ofllce, of the latter through tho suffrages of an united nnd free people. Also a distin guished number of Indian princes. Of ex ceptional Interest will bo the special em bassy of his lidft'iess, Pope Leo. Thanks to Britain's influence upon the world, and to the exemplary life and reign of Vic toria of blessed memory. Her relgu will go down to nil ages as an ideal one anl woithy of emulation by her successors. Upon no one. nearer or dearer, uoes this august privilege devolve than on her son, Edwaid VII. There is no one who will not feel the fascinating influences of tho ceremonies incidental to the festive occa sion. Happily to none more so, than to the poor of tho land who are to share In tho celebration. Tho king, In his spocial refeicnco and remembrance of his po.ir at this time, commands universal esteem, as, well as for tho exemplification of his royal mother's traits In remembering them at so august an occasion. How clearly Is hero shown his filial and tender repaid for her. who for over half a cen tury swiyed tho destinies of her beloved land nnd empiro to tho reaching and pass ing of Its golden mile-stone, which event was commemorated by a loving and grateful penplo. Tho over-tOTbo-remem-beral Inlliiences of Vlctoiia will hover over and around tho throne of their ma jesties with dignity and uplifting effect. Tho Intelligent throughout tho king's do main will on tho morning of that happy day bid them welcome and n long nnd happy life. In view of sueh thero would seem wanting a Shakespoiinn intellect to present to the world a word picture of the occasion. Also tho brush of a Raphael or Rouhens to put It on canvas. There Is also tecnlled such statesmen ns England's empire builder, Benjamin Dosrnli, Earl of Bcaconsfleld, or his cotempornries of world-wide fame, William Evart Glad stone and bis associate, John Blight all advisors of her lato majesty Victoria and cotemporarles of tho present king and queen, Piosnectlvely nt tho accession of Ed ward VII, his reign will bo followed by Englnnd's greater advancement, peace and Bood will to all mon. Londoners, from within nnd without Its ancient wlills with those of their fellow country people, nnd others from all countries of the world, will unlto In the celebration of Britain's day ofdays, It will bo truly a gala day, For grandeur and the number present and represented It will by far surpass any of Its predecessors either of curlier or moro recont times. There Is an Inspiration In the lecolleqtlon that ercat good will attend It to the benefit of hos pllals in London and the country, Frederick Hartnoll, Baled Shavings 1 Cleanest bedding for your 'horse.
