The bituminous coal operators of Indiana have accepted the miners' proposition on a yearly scale as follows: For pick mining, sixty-five cents for summer and seventy cents for winter for machine mining, forty-seven and Onehalf cents for summer and fifty-two and one-half cents for winter. Three thousand five hundred miners are affected. This is five oents reduction from last year's scale, and five cents more than the operators offered. A strike threatened June 1st is thus averted. It has been generally acoepted that there la a difference of ten cents between bituminous and block coal mining but the operators refuse to compromise on any basis.

Justice A. B. Felsenthal has a high appreciation of humor, and cases that come before him often develop some circumstance or other calculated to break the seriousness of legal proceedings, A defendant was brought before the court the other day on a petty chiuK*. "Quilty or not guilty asked tbe squire sternly. "Not guilty,** replied the defendant. "How do you know you are not?" asked the justice more sternly than ever, "yon haven't heard the evidence and dont know anything about the case." Hie fellow was bewildered, but succeeded in stammering that he didn't know what tbe evidence would be bat he thought he was innocent. The same justice this week married a couple and received a bright silver dc"**r.

Some heads in the supervising architect's office should fall at once, the sooner the better. There were never, perhaps, more negligent heads on official shoulders. Many of the persons who are thankful that the new government building has been occupied are* not aware that the contractors have not been paid in full. The quarter million stone structure has been occupied for a number of months yet money is withheld. In one case the excuse given by the department was that some vouchers had been lost. Later they were found, but the amount of a few hundred dollars remains unpaid. Letters have been written but no attention has been paid to them. Telegrams have been sent and were unanswered. One gentleman telegraphed at government expense^ He received a written reply requesting him not to use the wires for the .reason that it was exponslve to the government. Very expensive, indeed, at tbe rate of a cent a word. Several of the men to whom money is due have been treated very shabbily. It is disgraceful to a public office to be conducted in such a manner. Since the last election nothing could be obtained from headquarters. Letters, telegrams, requests of various resorts, all were unanswered. There is not the slightest reason why the contractors should not have been paid in full long ago. Tlfe only explanation that can be offered is n$gligenoe and pure cussedness on the part of the officials. B. F. Haven|, His understood, has not been-paid in full for his services as superintendent. Turn the reckless out.
