It Is pleasing to note that tho uniformity agreement by the coal operators in the Pittsburgh district Is not dead nor even dragging, as was feared. The delay, It appears, was caused by tho desire to draft the document carefully, and It now having been completed, tho work of securing signatures will begin* There is little doubt expressed that the required number of signatures will be given and the success of the agreement Is regarded as a foregone conclusion. This is the llrst Important step In the direction of a permanent settlement of the dlfllcultles that have prevailed In the copl trade and contributed more largely than anything else to bring on the strike. Tho agreement prohibits many of the evils that have cursed the mining Industry and proved not only a source of serious grievances complained of by the miners, but have been disadvantageous to the operators themselves. While the question of tho miner's scale is not directly a part of tho agreement, It will open the way for a Just and permanent settlement of that point of dispute. The miners are, therefore, Interested in furthering the work so far as it is in their power to do so. Tho Pittsburgh Dispatch aptly suggests that none can have a greater Interest than the miners that their wages should be fully and honestly paid. Also that the organization of the miners is in a position to exert a powerful Influence in favor of the completion of the plan. The Dispatch point* out" if the miners make It known that every operator who signs the uniformity agreement, with an additional pledge to pay tho district price to be fixed by conference or arbitration, can start his worics, the most powerful lever possible will be applied In favor of success, while the miners thus given work at advanced wages can support the Btrlko at mlnea where the agreement la refused." Thin Ih a commons sense proposition which the miners' leaders should act upon. It would complete a long stride In the direction of better and lasting conditions for the miners and the coal lnduatry. It can work In hut one way, and that for the good of all concerned. Two Kind* of "Calamity Howler*." Thu esteemed Intelligencer sees a "calamity howler" those days In evory dark corner. The Intelligencer was a rabid calamity howler Itsnli not so vory long ago, and It knows how It Is. In those days our neighbor was known as "Calamity Jane."? Register. Our neighbor doubtless refers to the attitude of this paper during the panic of four years ago, the effects of which were so disastrous to the whole country and from which we are Ju?t now recovering. At that time there was good reason for complaint. The panlo followed an election In which there had been chosen to power a party pledged to revolutionize a revenue system which had been the policy of the government for thirty years, and the uneasiness In consequence brought lack of confidence and a panicky feeling generally In financial, manufacturing and trade circles everywhere. The columns of the papers were filled day after day with long lists of bank failures. No man who owned bank stock or who had his savings on deposit knew wh' ii ho went to bed at night that the following morning's paper would not bring him tho news that all was lost. Factories were cMing on every hand ai-'l wage-workers, who but the year previous had been more generally employed than at any time In the country's history, were thrown out of employment. Armies of unemployed wore marching across country demanding work and presenting ->11 Sorts of Impossible schemes. Nothing like it had ever hnen witnessed In this or any other Country. In every manufacturing city, Including Wheeling, hundreds of families of worklngman were being fed by public subscription. Houp houHe.'t and charity stores wore established In almost every community, livery one remembers how It was here In Wheeling. Mvery man knew only too late what had brought on this state of affairs. It was while this distressful condition prevailed that the Intelligencer was calling attention lo the onuses. It wan te||? itig the truth which camo home to all men who had listened to the appeals of the free trade demagogues and precipitated the period of anxiety find panlo, and the TU'glnter, which was then a partisan of the Olevolnnd administration and the tariff tinkers, whose threats to revolutionist the American protective policy had created thu uneasiness, un* certainty and lack of confidence in the tht future, and while the good citizens of dm Wheeling were fe/ding the unemployed, apj was calling the Inteligencer "Calamity si<> Jane" for calling attention to the logic of hai the situation. There wax calamity on the every aide, it was here and everybody tloi was suffering from it. vet The circumstances are entirely differ- cal ent now. The ugltation of financial and other heresies last year, by financiers without finances or experience, had un- 1 settled business and created another wh period of uncertainty and drcud, but the wh election came, the heresies were defeated and confidence was at once restored. cor While the country continued, In the vary Bn nature of things, to nuffer from the de- v*e pressed effects of the panic /of 1893 and l,,8 the low tariff which had let in millions of c'a dollars worth of foreign products to force eel American labor out of work and wages. ^ there was a confidence on every hand In the future, because a party was elected cou to power which did not threaten the sta- clw bllity of our currency and whose tariff legislation never had been in the Interest Th' Of tho for?'lirn miiBiifaftiiiM- ""* UI1U aguiiiak a the American producer. atei Thin confidence was the beginning of A a steady improvement, which could not h roach the Hood tide until the disastrous th ) laws wej-e repealed and the policy of the ^ new administration could bo put into ^ force. Notwithstanding the depression stQ there was no real calamity. There were no soup houses, no Coxey armies, no publlo subscriptions to relieve suffering, are for, hard as times were, there was no de- ^ mand for these things. And yet the rl(>j Bryanlte newspapers, for political purposes only, were howling calamity, and (Ja| sneering at every report of business lin- ^o| provement. Whllo thoughtful men were thankful 4hat a panic had been averted by the do- sPe feat of dishonest money, and were gratl- ^ tied that signs were pointing to a gradual ** recovery of a patient that had been sick wl1 for four years, these organs were con- Th( tlnuing their policy of preaching dlscon- 1,al tent and Indulging In pessimistic sneers, end Even now, when Providence has blessed the country with abundant crops, and ^,1? when tjhe agriculturalists are receiving ans good prices for their products, and pros- boo perlty is returning, and western farmers are telographlng to the man who misled Ca) them with his cheap money cry last year dol to stop his calamity howl; when from one manufacturing and trade centres cheering news of an Industrial and trade re- Spc vlval is being sent out; when money is K being taken from the strong boxes and Tin put Into circulation; when there are Ha bright prospects for a prosperous fall tlni trade and steady employment hi the sufl rolllannri fa/\?rt?>loo?nimn n .->? > n'lth Ifnl things going on, and business men, wage tre* workers and farmers are strong with ju?, confidence and hope In the future, some he of these organs are continuing the cal- and amity howl. Hut the cry is growing weaker. There Is a lack of enthusiasm In It which Indicates that slowly but surely the convlc- Spt' tlon Is being forced on the winds of the Popocratic editors that this great country is entering upon another era of pros- ^ lr, perlty. There Is a difference In pointing ^ out the causen of calamity which act- cou ually exists and In howling calamity liri when the process of recovery Is manifest on every hand. In one Instance the rem- rjn. edy is pointed out; In the other tho work ii(,r of Improvement Is retarded by peuslmls- woi tic ravings. An Important Ontlierlng. Elsewhere will bo found the ofllclal call j{OJ for the sixth annual session of the Na- Kit' tlonal Irrigation Congress. Tho import- tow ance of the work of the congress cannot p be underestimated, and the possibilities <0 01 tne movement arc ho vast mm 11 ai- jow most takes one's breath away. It Is not only Important to thoue who live in the ^lc west In the vicinity of arid lands, but to ya] the people of tho whole country. The ob- it Ject of the movement is to open up and I' secure arid America for settlement, and ,,lr cy means that a district which comprises jy one-half of the United States, and which bee now only supports 6,000,000 of people, will Wa be made to furnish homes for a population of 70,000,000. In a letter received from Chairman Moses, of the executive commltteo of the congress he outlines the work briefly. Tho object of the coming convention, he says, la to devise means, and to enact proper laws for tho protection of the forests of this region, which means a saving of millions of dollar* that now annually go up In lire and smoke through rapine and plunder; to conserve the floodwnterft of the Mississippi and its tributaries, and of tho other large rivers of A ? arid America means an annual saving the to the government of more than $5,000,000, nnd to tho inhabitants of the flooded Jmj: districts of moro than three times as you mnny millions of dollars more, besides trni m opening homes for thousands by the use jj( 'f o/ these conserved waters. To devise pjn| Just and equitable laws for tho control thai and distribution of water and on the apportionment of the land In arid districts. These, nnd many other questions of In- 1 torest that should command the earnest 7 support of nil, north, south, and east, as ovt well as tho west, will come before the 'H'n congress for careful attention and con- ,jav slderntlon." phi The Importance of tho movement to the turi entire country Is thus made apparent, , nnd the Importance of all the states be- i?.,i Ing represented cnnnot be overestimated. While West Virginia Isnotln tho arid district, her people are interested, fur the ,p development of this grest territory and ta|| tho opening of homes ror mnny thou- to sand people means larger markets for l"'1 West Virginia's coal and other products )m,| she has to s-dl.
