There will be no strike in the bituminous coal region this season. That can be taken for granted. While the operators .and miners will quarrel and dicker over terms they will finally agree. Neither party to the controversy can afford to Bhoulder the responsibility of a strike. Public sentiment roused greatly by the abuses of the present winter would burst into flame were a bituminous coal strike, with all of disaster such a calamity would entail, thrust upon the country. The public is thoroughly tired of being trifled with and demands that an agreement be reached. It is essential for the business prosperity of the country that there be no break in bituminous coal mining and woe to the party that would force such an interruption. Let both miners and operators consider that the great public, which both serve, is in this case entirely self interested. Its experiences during the past few months have not framed its mind to take up the cudgel for one or the other party to the coming wrangle, but it is rather ready to war on either or both, as the blame may be placed.

The newly installed president of Brazil stated a few days ago in his inaugural address that he intended to introduce a new era in Brazilian life by drafting and enforcing rigid sanitary regulations. He proposes to institute in Rio de Janeiro a sanitary system similar to that instituted by General Wood in Havana. From May to October of each year Rio de Janeiro is a pest hole where cholera, .yellow fever and other mortal diseases hold sway, the rich avoiding them by fleeing to the mountains for the summer months. The poor left in the city's heat, filth, and squalor die by thousands. The new president feels thnt if Havana can be transformed his metropolis can also be, and that he is determined to make the test is all to his credit.

The people of Routh Carolina have evidently been brought to their senses by the Gonzales murder and are going about the work of preparation for the trial of the wretched assassin in a business like manner that must give Tillman the shudders. The press and the better element of the people are so outspoken in the demand for impartial justice that the country simply stands amazed. It is a little too milch to expect of .South Carolina, but if she should nielo out to the cold blooded murderer the punishment which her laws prescribe she would not only rise wonderfully in the estimation of the world but would work a revolution for jjood within her own borders.

The Indianapolis News is not slow to impugn the motives of Governor Durhin and all but charges that he will abuse the power vested in him by the substitute for the ripper bill. It is to be hoped that its estimate of the man is erroneous. Governor Durbin made a grievous error in bringing foiward this measure but his retreat was^not only an acknowledgement of the fact but virtually a promise of fair play for the reformatory board. Surely he would not debase himself by effecting by a subterfuge that which he was unable to accomplish in an open fight. The News is surely harsh to the point of unfairness.

Numerous tests with formalin as an antidote in cases of blood poisoning have been made since the initial test in New York some days ago and in every instance with highly gratifying results. It really seems that a supposedly incurable ailment has finally been mastered, to a degree at least, by science and the world waits for the man who shall capture Rockefeller's reward for a consumption cure. That man will surely come.

There was a great shout of laughter from the whole country

a-few years ago, when a member of the Illinois legislature proposed to place a tax on bachelors. But now several legislatures are seriously considering the question and it is atgued that there would be equity in such a tax. Celibacy is usually founded on selfishness and those who practice it ought to pay for it.

It is gratifying to note that the senate committee is opposed to the free school book bill, Noo such nonsense should bo permitted to cumber our statute books and work mischief with our people. The people should support the state and not the state support the people.

The advancement of the investigation of the coal famine merely developes the circumstances connected with the most gigttntio holdup of modern times. If criminal cases were tried in equity the penitentiaries would be packed today by supposedly respectable citizens.

Mrs. Elbert Hubbard asks for alimony in the sum of $1,000 a month and insists that Fra Elbertus is well able to pay it, This is testimony which will awaken some people to the greatness of Iiis graft. Hubbar4's hammer and hyprocricy have jjroved profitable.

Mr. Bryan has not as yet told us what he thinks of JudgeParker of New York as a presidential candidate. It is probable, however, that his thought? very cicely reaenjble a trip

The Indianapolis News is dissatisfied with the substitute for the ripper bill, but the Republicans, who have avoided a party split are mightily tickled.

Tho cold wave has revived interest in the coal famine and recalled to. the people's minds the fact that they have been systematically robbed all wjnter^.

THE WID£ WORLD ROUND.?

Men and Animals.

Lord Avebury's more recent investigations have led nim to the conclusion that the difference between the mind& of uni mals and those of nien is one of degree rather%han. of quality, On the whole, he thinks that animals certainly have some glimmerings of reason. With regard to Vie senses of hear ing arid sight, he has found that some animals can hear sounds inaudible to us, and can perceive rays of light that are invisible to the human eye. Atmospheric vibration vary ing from 33 to 30,000 per second strike the human ear and produce the sense of sound. But certain animals can hear vibrations more rapid than this-—that is, they can hear higher notes than we can. In th.e same way vibrations of the ether impinging on the human retina produce the sense of color. These, measured on the ample scale of millions of millions per second, vary in-number from 400 to 700. By the aid of the thermometer and of photography, respectively, we have discovered the existence of rays beyond the red at one end of the spectrumand beyond the violet at the other. It has been found that animals are sensitive to rays beyond the violet end. It is, therefore, quite possible that the world around us is to animals "full of music which we cannot hear, of color which we cannot see and of sounds which we cannot conceive.

"Economy" in "Republics."

That economy is eminently a Republican virtue is again brought to mind by the report that President Castro, during his three years of office, hits accumulated a nest egg of half a million sterling against the day of retirement or overthrow He was penniless when he became president. Mr, Kruger's fortune has been estimated at several millions. Last April Gen. Simon Say was deposed from the presidency of Haitai which he had held since 1806 at a salary of £4,800 per annum He is now living comfortably in Paris on the income from £2,000,000, .which report credits him with having wisely in vested in European securities. Such thrift begets jealousy in political opponents, and is accountable for the constant revolutions in Central and South American republics. A few years ago Guatemala was rent in twain by the proof that President Barrios had secure £1,000,000 of the state's money and invested it, in his wife's name, in Europe. The Guate malans did not oust Barrios, arguing that he had made his fortune out of them, and that to elect anew president would mean a second fleecing!

Gold and More Gold.

The gold reefs of Alaska are now said to extend under Bering's strait and to reappear iu Siberia. There is plenty ot evidence that there is much gold j'et unmined on the Russian shore opposite Alaska. There is a deal of talk among returning whale fishers of the big nuggets found ten miles inland of the East Cape. The Russians jealously guard their mines nnr won't allow the intrusive foreigners to take part in the mining operations. It is a very cold country, so cold, in fact that mining can only go on three months in the year. While South Africa is destined to yield enormously of gold in the next forty years, according to the best experts down there it is certain that Alaska and Siberia will also add to the huge stock of gold that the world of 1025-44 will hold in its coffers, strong war chests and bank vaults. There is going to be a "goTd question" one of these days, for all prices will be unsettled by the glut of yellow money. The currency question is already getting to be bigger than the "silver question, and thfc big nations might as well look the facts in "the face.

Our Big Universities,

Colleges and universities grew faster than ever. The growth was shown chiefly by the larger and wealthier ones, the smaller ones remaining passed Harvard in students and now lead the list, the figures being 5,86fi and 5.782. Chicago made another leap and is third with 4,723. California with 3.848 is running almost- neck and neck with Michigan with 3.843. Minnesota's count is 3,0(55 and Cornell has reached 3.409. Pratt lipids eighth place with 3,183, and Yale has jumped to the ninth from the eleventh with 3,154. Then comes a close rafe of three—Wisconsin, 2.080: Northwestern, 2.021. and Illinois, 2.00-v Pennsylvania is thirteenth with 2,736, Nebraska fourteenth with 2.398, New York fifteenth with 2,200 and Syracuse sixteenth with 2,005.

Lady Maxim's Happy Thought.

Sir Hiram Maxim is tellings story which is to the credit of tlv mutoscope and lady Maxim's ingenuity. Sir Hiram and Lady Maxim were staying at a southern watering place. When the time came to pay the bill on leaving the landlord of the hotel looked askance at the proffered check. He knew the. name, but had no evidence that the signer was the owner of it. And Sir Hiram had not enough cash in his pocket to meet the case. Then Lady Maxim invited the proprietor to go down to the pier, put a penny in a certain slot, and look. He did so. And he saw a "living picture" of Sir Hiram firing a Maxim gun in the presence of the Shah of Persia. That was conclusive.

A certain popular and somewhat gay yoyng married man of this city is in receipt of the following rhyme sent by his mother-in-law. He claims to be in doubt as to its application in his case:

Whose Fan?

(By George Birdseye.)

The ball was at its height of light and glory, And beauty, joy, and music filled the place Behind the palms, in the conservatory,

Brown saw a couple stand in close embrace,

And heard a kiss. He knew 'twas gay Ned Story, But had no chance to »ee the woman's face. Wnen they had gone he passed the threshold o'er And found a dainty fan upon the floor.

Whose was the fan? He vowed that he would know it He sought the ballroom, and, in passing through, He waved its silken wing that he might show it,

Asking each fair, "Does this belong to you?"

He'd told his friefids the joke, could not forego it, And they watched to see him g«t his elew. Suddeh—Brown's pretty wife called from her chair: Why, Dick, that's mine! I've sought it everywhere."'

GRADUATE IN GRADES

JOINT EXERCISES HELD AT HIGH SCHOOL LAST NIGHT

AN ADDRESS BY S, K. DUVALL

Exercises Were Interesting and Attracted a Large Audience—List of Pupils Advanced.

A crowd which taxed the .capacity of the High school hall attended the commencement exercises arranged by Principals John L. Gordon, Win. Ward and W. G. Sanford. of the Sixth, Seventh and Seventeenth district schools, for pupils having completed the eight grade work in the three schools. Owing to the length no encores could be responded to, but it was difficult to follow out this idea owing to the appreciation shown for each number by the continued applause. The program opened with a song, '"Santa Lucia," sung by pupils from the 8B and 8A classes. This was followed by the invocation delivered by Prof. John Donaldson. Another chorus song, "The Lark," showed the advance of musical training given the children in the graded schools. Fifteen little girls from the Sixth district, gave a difficult drill under the direction of Charles Timm, physical culture instructor in the schools. Thife was followed by a fine address delivered by Attorney S K. Duvall. Mis.a Stella Doerschuk rendered a pleasing piano solo while Miss Louise Hoberg, a member of the High school junior class sang, "A Japanese Love Song," that would have been a credit to a much older person. W. A. Lake, principal of the High school, made appropriate and interesting remarks before presenting diplomas to the graduates. The program closed with the "Jolly Student" a new patriotic song, adopted for use in the public schools. The music was under the direction of Chester L. Fidlar, who has charge of the music in the public schools, while Miss Lucy Flinn and George Hobeck, a High school student acted as accompanists. The grad uates were:

COUNTY SEAT WAR ON

VERMILLION COUNTY IN THROES ..t -7 OF STRUGGLE:^'

CAiYUGA" SAYS "ITS^MINiE"

Dana Demurs and insists on Being the Metropolis of That Section of the District.

The county seat war which was on up in Vennillibn courtt^ more than a half a century ago, is about to be renewed and two petitions are to be put in cir culation next Monday: One of the prayers will ask that the jail and court house be removed to Cayuga, a town in the north end of the county and the other will ask that these two county buildings be removed "to Dana, which is nearer the geograpfiical center. Vermillion county is hut six -miles wide and forty-two miles long and ever since the county was organized, there has been a controversy regarding the location of the county seat. It wits when the county was sparsely settled that the county seat was located at Newport, but since then the old town has riot kept pace with the times. All went along reasonably well until the railroad Came through and then the county seat was left off about two miles fronl the tracks and for the past score of years has been little more than a flag station. This caused a lot of complaint, and every time that times got a little dull, it was proposed that the boys get together and move the county seat some afternoon.

Dana and Cayuga sprang up after the railroad passed through and both these towns now double Newport in population. Both are on the railroad. Clinton is as large as any three towns in the county but it is located in the almost ex treme south end and on this account would be inconvenient for the residents of the other sections of the county, and therefore the Clinton people have made no vigorous fight for the jail and court house. They have, however always been ready to become the county seat, and all along have been ready to "lay over" and make room for the county buildings. Some time ago it was decided to repair and enlarge the old court house, and when this was decided the residents of Cayuga and Dana, thought it a good time to make a last desperate fight for the county seat, before the large amount of money was spent in im provements.

From all indications, however, it will be a losing fight as Newport is putting up a desperate resistance, with every thing in its favor. As it is Newport is more centrally located, and notwithstand ing the walk from the depot, it is easier pf access than Dana, while Cayuga is entirely too far north. In addition to this advantage. Anew twenty thousand dollar jail has just been built, and there will be a vigorous protest against aban doning this expensive structure, for the mere purpose of gratifying either of the other two towns. While the fight is going on, Brent Davis, the veteran editor of the Hoosier State, is going right along saying nothing but vigorously gobbling up every line of the county .printing. 'He knows they won't move the county seat, and he is not going to incur the displeasure of his patrons in Cayuga and Dana by fighting a move that was defeated before, it was begun. Mr. Brent Davis is a sly fox and can look a good ways into the foggy future.
