MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The joke of the miners' strike was the ludicrous attempt to assert Terre Haute police authority at Lyford, In Parke county. It was the glaring blunder of the C. & E. t. management, and did more to encourage the strikers in holding on to the captured coal than- any other one cause. Whoever planned the introduction of police authority into the struggle bad a very inadequate idea of the situation and of the temperament of the miners. Anyway, the police force was needed at home last Saturday—that was the day the 8*0 miners were at the Big Four depot—and it was a cheeky performanee on the part of the railroad attorneys to send policemen hired by Terre Haute taxpayers to Parke county. The description of the coming and going, especially the going, of the Terre Haute squad as given by the miners does not tally with the reports made in Terre Haute, but it is far more humorous.
The strike has set many persons to asking the question of themselves if it is not about time for the officers of the law to perform their duty under the law. Heretofore the tolerant sentiment has been one of good-natured acquiescence in the undisguised course of peace officers in shielding the violators of the law. The events of the past week have quickened public sentiment to the serious logical result of the failure of the officers to do their duty when the effect of the law-breaking becomes more far-reaching. The sheriff of Parke county refused to act. Sheriff Stout said no violation of law had "come within his view," and the Sullivan sheriff was maintaining a strict regard for the political conditions. Even the governor told the newspapers that he was powerless to act beoause these sheriff^ had not called upon him. He forgot Roby. There he acted in spite of the sheriff—but that was a chance in a lifetime to g»in popularity by enforcing the law. I understand that one of the causes for Judge Baker's refusal to issue a writ against the Shelburn strikers was the reported remark of Governor Matthews that it was the wiser course to call upon the federal authority. Judge Baker said he did not want to be called upon as a peace officer, nor should he be.
The sympathy with the miners is universal. Even the operators hope they will win. It is a fact that there is nota man guarding a coal mine in Indana, except perhaps at Little's where there Is a boss who is notorious for his propensity to bring about a condition of things wheh he is oompelled to use force in conducting mining operations. But, the rule is that the operators and miners in tills state, km also in Ohio, are acting in unison, and in truth were in collusion in inaugurating the big strike, with the object of forcing Illinois into line. For once no one is heard arguing that the men were receiving "living wages." One of Terre Haute'smillionaires said to mo that the men were not receiving enough wages* And, he held that to be true as to most laboring men. Said he: "Suppose a miner is receiving $4 a day, that is $100 a month, what is that for the purpose of criring for a family, raising the children right aud laying something by for a rainy day or old age\ No one would complain if he had to pay a little more for coal if it was known the additional money went to the miners." This gentleman said that his remarks might seem to indicate that he is a socialist but he disavowed
any
social
istic tendency he was merely stating a truth. The»« has been a signiflcerit change in sentiment regarding the great labor question in the last tefl years. People who once believed the question if a man was heing paid enough to cover his living expenses as the only one to be considered are now talking as does this millionaire. Others have progressed in the study of the labor problem to the poiut of Insisting that the question Is not only the wage earner receiving enough to raise a family and lay by something for a rainy day but Is be receiving his share of what his labor earns? That is a step farther toward socialism, but it is surprising how many are taking it who are wholly unconscious that it is in that direction.
The miners have a erode idea as to their right to interrupt coal traffic. They capture coal trains, altogether in violation of law, and then indignantly propose to prosecute the railroad company for running trains faster ttym the law allows. And, you couldn't And a miner who would see the inconsistency of hit conduct in the matter. At Shelbnrn they ordered Trainmaster Thompson out of town and gave him so many minutes in which to leave, but before he left they preeented a subscription paper to him for a contribution to their relief fund. It must be said in their bekaif

that they learned the4esson of capturing railroad trains from some of the railroads. The merihad seen the companies deliberately confiscate coal with no law but" that of necessity, and not always that, to pack them up in it. The men believe the law of necessity is even more applicable to their cause.
The Rev. R. V. Hunter Eas been out in Nebraska and Kansas where he says the wind blows so strong and so long that the farmers have to anchor their wells at least the windlass is anchored with guy ropes to stakes driven in the ground and in some localities wells from which an abundance of water can be bad when the wind blows from the southwest are dry when the wind blows from the northeast.
Judge White has again been here holding court. The judge is not neglecting his own court, t.be Parke and Vermillion circuit, but is presiding in the Beach case and the vaccination case in the Vigo Circuit court. He is allowed ?5 a day for his service in Vigo county, which, is in addition to Jodge Taylor's salary and which is not as much as Judge White receives in his own court. It is a ridiculously small compensation and less than the court stenographer receives.
For several years it has been a noticeable fact that the farther away we get from the war the larger is the attendance of the old soldiers at reunions, and more generally do they participate in the exercises of memorial day. The pathetic separations as the comrades were carried to the grave seemed to bind the survivors in closer comradeship. There were 183 members of Morton Post in the parade, on Wednesday. Some one remarked the increase in the number of gray-haired men and a census was taken. Of the 183 but four were under fifty years of age. It is twentynine years since the war closed. The veterans had on their thinking caps when they passed through the streets. They were being brought to a realization of the fact that many men of affairs of to-day were either small children or not born when the CJnion soldiers came home at the end of the great conflict.
The Vigo Fair Association has made a contract with Dishon for bill posting which, he says, is the largest he ever made.
The objeot of the big strike of miners was to force Illinois into an inter state agreement, as Man About Town has said heretofore, and the failure to have the opefators in that state come together tells the story of defeat. The Consolidated Coal Company, whose eightythree mines are mostly along the line of the Wabash road, held the key to the situation in the state, which in turn held the key to the general situation. If Illinois had agreed upon a scale of wages a settlement in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania would have been made in short order. The Consolidated Company is managed as Frick of the Carnecte Company might be expected to manage such a property. Ridgely is.the Frick of the Consolidated Compnny. The company's purpose for year® has been to so conduct its mining operations that the men could not effect an organization. At some places barricades have been erected so that the miners could be kept isolated, as much so as if they were convicts. With these advantages in controlling the men Ridgely reduced wages until he could go into the Chicago market with his coal ata cost of production which euabled him to undersell all competitors. Now he absolutely refuses to be a party to a universal agreement on the wages scale by which the men might fare better and the operators be placed at an even start for the market. All the railroad companies used their influence to get the Illinois operators to oome into line but the Consolidated Company blocked the way, It is probable that an attempt will be made in a few days to establish an inter-state agreement for the three states that had been trying to get Illinois to come in— Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania,

In the old Roman days, a centurion was tfu officer who commanded a century, or company of one hundred men, but in modern bicycling terms, a centurion is one who is at the head of those who make one hundred mile rides. Will Krietenstein, the well known oyclist of this city, was appointed State Centurion re cently, and Sunday he celebrated the appointment by making one hundred miles in seven hours and twenty-seven minutes, actual time, going to Indianapolis by way of Rockville. Strange as it may seem the people of Indianapolis, the bioycle people, thawed out enough to entertain him royally. ,s|(lf
