The pavnde. hemled by I'resident
Mitchell and the oflieers of the nntionnl
eiectttivo board, stnrted n little nfter 2
o'clock, Htid it reijuired nn hour nnd I'll
minutes to puss a given point. It is esti
mated thnt there were fully l.'.OHO men
and brenker boys la line. The ureal bulk
of the piirndvrs wns made up of stnlwnrt
men. As a rule they were well dressed,
and some of them from their npicnraiu'e
mifc-bt be taken for u body of farmer.
They did not tnnrch with precision, but
wer n dense mass of humanity. They
walked six, five nnd four abreast. The
music was furnished by about 40 brass
bands ami drum corps.
Mny bnnners nnd trmiPknrencics were
carried by the men. Anion the most no
ticeable were these: "We want our din
ner pails tilled with substantial food, not
coal barons1 taffy;" "We lire tiKhtiiiK a
cause that Is just und riht;" "Maud by
President Mitchell and the union;" "Our
union must be recognized;" "We will no
longer bo slaves;" "2.2U) pounds for n
ton;" "We want two weeks' pay." '
The breaker boys carried bauners 1
which read: "We need schooling, but
must work:" "Save us from the whims
of the sheriff and deputies;" "Down with
oppression; we will stand by Mitchell."
The parade passed over the principal
streets of the city, and thousands of peo
ple lined the sidewalks. Here and there
un enthusiastic adiuiror of President
Mitchell would breuk through the lines
and iusist ou shaking hands with him.
The. moil from l'ittston had u Hunt with
four men representing "Coal Hnrons."
They were drinking what purported to be
champagne. Directly following was a
float with miners dining on bread nnd
water. A stretcher wns carried contain
ing a dummy representing n miner who
had just lost his life in a mine.
President Mitchell reviewed the great
array of marchers on the river common.
He was geuerously applauded by the
marchers. P.uslness wns at a standstill
in the city all the afternoon. The super
intendents of the coal compnuies and
their clerks viewed the pnrnde from their
office buildings. One coal man said it
was a very credituble demonstration.
Following is President Mitchell's speech
in part:
"A man would Indeed be devoid of feel
ing if he were not proud to hnve the op
portunity to stand before a multitude
like this which is making a light for
something which it believes to be just.
1 am proud to know thnt you n re com
posed of eoul miuers and their families.
I am proud to know that you commnnd
in this tight the respect of the clergymen,
thut you have the sympathy of the pub
lic nnd that the greut American press
has said with one voiee that your causa
is a righteous one. No man would go
further to avoid a strike than I, but
when nil honorable methods fail then I
favor strikes. I went to New York to
call on the operators at the sacrifice of
personal dignity to get a hearing, but
the men who employ you turned me awny
and even refused to receive a committee
of their own men for the purpose of talk
ing overtbe differences.
"The greatest strike iu the history of
the world is drawing to n close. Al
ready the great conl carrying rnilrnnds
have ngreed to increase your wnges 10
per cent, which is a great victory in it
self. True, it is enough, but it does not
satisfy us, but the time is not far dis
tant when the anthracite coal miners will
receive as much for their labor as nny
other class of workmen in the world.
"In this struggle do not place absolute
faith In John Mitchell or nny other one
ninn. Put your faith in the organization.
Work hard for ils prosperity, for the
stronger it is the better you are armed
for the struggle in which you nro now
engaged. This Kt':e shall not be de
clared off by me. It shall not be ended
until a convention of anthracite miners
shall so decide. Kvery union and every
colliery will be asked to send one or more
delegates to n convention to determine
the question for themselves. Your inter
ests arc greater than mine. I shall not
decide the question of your going back to
work. You must vote on thut yourself. I
will not pretend to determine your fate
or that of the ,"00,000 who are directly
affected by this struggle."
Mr. Mitchell then briefly reviewed the
struggles of the miners during the past
10 years and said that the miuers cannot
expect to have all the evils which have
been heaped upon them during the last
half century of unorganized labor righted
at once. Continuing Mr. Mitchell snid:
"I firmly believe that victory will bo
achieved by the men standing together.
. Do not let one of you move until nil
move. If you stand together -we will
achieve a renter victory than was ever
uttuined by labor In the anthracite cor.!
region. If nothing else is achieved than
the taking of the young boys who today
yelled ns I passed them In the parade
that 'Mitchell is all right!' out of the.
breakers and placing them In the schools,
the future will show that Mitchell was
ull right. I am firmly of the belief that
the mothers of the breaker boys nightly
pray to the Ituler of the universe to de
cide in favor of the men, so thut their
boys can go to the schools.
"A miner should receive for his wnges
s much as any mun on enrth, so that be
himself can build u home ou the present
tumbling ruins of his hovel built by the
companies and so thnt he enn afford to
allow his children to hnve the advantages
of the college ton.
"Through tho efforts of the United
Mine Workers we can secure justice for
all. We wnnt to stnnd together, and I
hope that not one man will desert the
ranks of the union aud thut not one
jnnn will go back to the mines uutil the
victory Is complete,"

The Destiny of the Country.
! "No president can tell us what our
destiny Is," said Mr. Dryan In a speech
made before the Nebraska Dryan club,
of Chicago, Sept. 10, and In these
words the Democratic candidate for
president gives a stinging rebuke to
the amateur fatalists of the Republi
can party who have been Justifying
Mr. McKiuley's acts of criminal ag
gression In the Philippines and else
where with the cry of "manifest ties
tiny." Mr. Bryan thinks this Is too
strong and vigorous a nation to adopt
the flimsy philosophy which England
and the other land grabbing nations
of the world have ofTered as a sop to
the public conscience when some par
ticularly daring feat of political high
way robbery has been perpetrated.
The drunkard, too weak to exercise
sufficient will power to break loose
from a habit which he knows Is grad
ually bringing him In ruin to the grave,
) very frequently offers the same excuse
1 and with as much reason. He will sny
that he has drifted into his deplorable
condition because of peculiar and unto
j ward circumstances. He has been
punned by the hand of "destiny" and
it has been impossible for him to resist.
Rut the people of this country will
very naturally object to being classed
with the victims of alcoholism and
the apology that might be excusable
In the man of Intemperate habits can
not be offered with hope of acceptance
on a question of national honesty. It
Isn't sufficient for Mr. McKinley to tell
us that his course in the Philippines
Is along tho lines of our "manifest des
tiny." The country at large, irrespec
tive of party, has not such blind con
fidence in the opinions of the president
on political questions to accept them
without a grain of salt. The voters of

The President' False Pretense.
His professions of morality have not
been nble to restrain President McKin
ley from indulging in at least two pal
pably dishonest assertions In hls'letter
of acceptance. For example, in the
first quarter of that elongated and
pologetic paper, he declares that "five
years age we were selling government
bonds bearing as high as 5 per cent
Interest." Manifestly he intended to
convey to the public that within five
years the government borrowed money
at the rate of 5 per cent, whereas if
he knows anything he knows that is
not true.
Five years ago the government had
no authority to Issue any bonds other
than 5 per cent bonds, and could bor
row money In no other way, though
Secretary Carlisle and President Cleve
land had insistently asked congress to
authorize the issue of a lower rate
security. The reasonable and wise re
quest was donied, however, nnd when
the necessity to borrow money arose
the 5 per cent bonds were issued, but
sold at such premium as to reduce the
interest rate to a fraction bolow 3 per
rent. President McKinley was certain
ly aware of tliat fact, and yet in his
letter he uttered an Implied fulsehood.
In another part of the letter he al
leges that Blncje the beginning of his
administration $-14,000,000 of Pacific
railway bonds were redeemed. The
purpose of that statement was clearly
to muke the public believe that that
amount of money had been collected
from the people and used for the re
demption of the bonds. The truth Is,
and the presldent,knew It well, that the
railroads were sold by the government
on mortgage foreclosures and the pro
ceeds of the sale redeemed the bonds.
There are two plain cases of falfte pre
tense In the letter.
