It is good news that Mine Inspector Gomcr Thomas brings from Cnrbon the mines running full strength and able to meet all demands. Under this condition of affairs, it Is not surprising surpris-ing that tho Fuel company declines to hold conference with the strikers who ore camped near the mines. The strikers strik-ers could, under such circumstances, offer of-fer the company nothing desirable, and naturally the company and they can occupy no common ground. Unless there is a change of conditions, It is idle to keep up the pretense that a. strike is on. The vote of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church at Buffalo, which was practically unanimous, for reunion with the Cumberland Presbyterians, Presby-terians, is a significant sign of the times. It Indicates that those two bodies bod-ies will be one again, after a separation lasting a hundred yearn. A previous vote favored overtures for union with the Southern Presbyterian ohurch, the separation of these two branches having occurred forty years ago, during the War of the Rebellion, tho Southern branch going off with the Confederacy, and on account of tho slavery question. It is altogether probable that a few years will &eo all those bodies united once moro into a powerful, aggressive body, mighty for good work.
