SATURDAY EVEMXO, OCT. 18, 19U report comes from Tamagna, nays: ''Leaden of the Uniteti Mac Workers in the southern part of the anthracite region arc putting forte, every effort at their command to prevent the convention la Wilke-barre, on Monday, lroin cepting the plan of the presidente ol the coal companiei and ordering the men to warn. The strike leaders are determined not to allow union men to work with non? union men They say that a genera! resumption cannot take place now every man who worked during the strike has been discharged and replaced by mem hen of the union." Now the constitution of the United ites protects all men in their right to work and make a living for their fami? lies provided the of others are not interfered with, so tinder this constitu? tion "union" and "non-union" men stand alike. No reasonable man can Orge objections to others forming organi? zations for their own benefit, bat inch organizations must not interfere with tin? right! of the many wbo prefer to remain Independent, otherwise this would cease to be a free country and the worst of tyranny would reign. It is hoped that the "leaders" mentioned in the W'ilkcsbarre dispatch may recede from their unreasonable position, at? tend to their own affairs and let others alone, otherwise the trouble in the coal regions may continue indefinitely, for the operators have assured the men who have remained at work during the strike that there should be no interference and no intimidation, and that they should retain the tiny hive new, and give place to any other men.

In this connection the New York Tribune says concerning the duties of the commissioners appointed by the President to settle the coal strike: "It would be impertinent to attempt to forecast its finding! in respect to Wages, hours ol labet ami methods of measuring the product, which were nalij the chief subjects of conten? tion but do not hesitate to say just -that it is inconceivable that tin arbitrators should tolerate the thought of proscribing the faithful men who have braved manifold peril- and endured ont ition In defence of the and Immutable principle that a man has a righi to sei! his labor at a price satisfactory to himself." Pubidxht Elliott, of Howard Uni v. r-itv, in Washington says "The persistence of gambling in the United States is disappointing the advo CateS of popular education; for gambling is an extraordinary Intelligent form of excitement It a prevalent vice among all savage people, but one which a moderate cultivation of the in? telligence, a very little foresight and the sense Of responsibility should be Millicieiit to eradicate." Gambling, in one form or another, pervades ali classes from the excited speculator on the money exchange down to the boy shooting marblt? cents on street corners. Mm tempting providence by risking their lives at sea gamble "ii the runs of the steamer and on the number of the pilot boat which shall meet the VCCSel on her arrival in tight of land. In the face of publie opinion and statutes for it- suppression, the practice goes on and becomes a mania with many, and common observation does not corroborate Prof, views. While the vice may be common amom: it re more than the cultivation of the intelligence enable many rational men to turn their back- 00 the playful that a urti will be In? troduced in the next session of Oougrem to reduce or altogether remove the pro? tective duties on a number of staple Including wool, coal, hemp, lex and rice.

The Nt York Evening post has addressed a circular question to the Senators and Representatives the present eshihg whether they will vote for re? daction of duties in favor of commodities the production of which i- controlled by monopolies or trust-. Whim the demo? crats have answered "ye-," only twenty seven republicans have answered at all; and of these thirteen have also answered indicates the tendency for tarili' revi-ion not only among the people at large but in the heart of the republican party. Enough has been witnemed in Iowa ani Massachusetts to -how that the republicans are hope? lessly divided on this great question. AT the fifteenth annual convention of the National Live Btock Association Avhich opened at Pittsburg yesterday J. B.

Blatchford, of Omaha, read a paper on the beef trust in which he said "The combination just formed requires capital of $88,000,000 to absorb the properties of the various packing com? panies. It will recjuire a clear profit Of $100,000 a day to pay 3 per cent, in? on this capital When they add $100,000,000 more of watered stock it Will take a daily profit of $250,000 to pay per cent interest."

If Ambassador Meyer, at Home, will take an official hint, he will resign give Henry White, Secretary of Embassy at London, a chance at his job. Tbc publication of stories to the effect that President Roosevelt has promised Mew place to White and Ambassador Meyer? subsequent display of ire that this should be, have persuaded the Stete Department to allow a semi-offi? cial, inspired, statement to made public. In this statement it is out that when Mr. Meyer was appointed to the place by President McKinley il was with the understanding that he would hold it for a year.

It was then offered to Myron Derrick of Cleveland, hut Col. Herrick declined it. President McKinley died before Meyer's year was up and when President Roosevelt the reins of office Meyer was allowed to remain undisturiiM. Subsequently his place was airain offered to Herrick and again declined. Later Meyer asked for leave of absence, an? nouncing that he intended OOBK to this country and try for a seat in Coti L'ress from his Massachusetts district.

He came to this country, but allowed the Congressional Domination to go to Captain Gardner, son-in-law of Senator Lodge. Hois now back at and Iris let it be known that he wotiid like to hold the post for a decade or two longer. The administration refuses to enthuse at the prospect, bul Meyer de? clines to let go.
