THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26. 1903 "OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRACY." of the dilemma," although, the New York World, that treacherous paper, booms Cleveland. Under either regime, the money power is perfectly secure from molestation in their extortionate practices against the masses of the people. Both McKinleyism and Clevelandism ore only tools in the hands of the mon ey powers to rake from the people the fruits of their owti labor. John C. Wenner. John ili tcbell on Strikes. I wis very forcibly impressed with the editorial of the Ilarrisburg Patriot, on the "Outlook for De mocracy," with which the Colum bian regaled its readers last week. The following prominent quotation should be carefully studied by every person who is interested in the prosperity and welliare ot our country: "As the Republican party claims credit for the unexampled indus trial activity which started shortly iefore the outbreak of the war with Spain, aud reached its zenith about two years ago, it must logically jear the responsibility for the ter nination of the so-called prosperity, which was reallv inflation and spec ulation, whose reaction has left hundreds of thousands worse off than they were before, aud the end of which is not yet in sight. Peo ple have learned and are learning that the prohibitive tariff which prompted the tormatiou of gigantic trusts, and wild and senseless lnfla tion and speculation has brought ruin to countless thousands, is not the blessing they supposed it was; the reckoning will come at the polls next November. A more ruinous picture could not well De drawn irotn any pre vious administration, or regime of administrative control of our gov ernment. It is a worse picture of calamity than that which was drawn as a result of the Brvan administra tion in case of election in 1896 Just what was predicted inflation .and speculation and ruin, under Uryanistn, actually was the result under McKinleyism. "The people nave learned and are learning, that an "honest" two hundred cent "dollar," with a prohibitive tariff is more ruinous under McKiuley ism, than a "dishonest fifty cent dollar with tariff for revenue only would have beu under Bryauism At all events, it is not probible that such a ruinous condition would confront the people to-day if Bryan uad been elected. It could tiot pos sibly have been worse. The policy that Bryan proposed would not have been instrumental in the accumula tion of all the wealth into the cof fers of the money power during the late prosperous industrial activity It would have been scattered broad cast over tue laja witn equal op portunity to gather wealth of rich and poor alike. The Patriot says that : "Logical ly the Republican party must bear the responsibility of such a condi tion. Probably it is so. But the Palmer and Buckner contingent, of which Cleveland was chief, are equally as responsible as the Re publican party which made such a ruinous condition possible, being Republican allies. They knew the policy of the Re publican party and chose this ruin ous course 111 preference to a genu ine Democratic policy under which the people might prosper. Now the same Palmer and Buckner con tingeut, of which Cleveland is chief, propose to build up prosper ity from the ruins of McKinleyism. But from our past experience with Clevelandism there can be but little or no choice in "either horn The most popular leader at the head of the forces of organized labor to-day is John Mitchell. He has shown himself to be a man of breadth of view, of tolerant spirit and of careful judgment and thoughtful labor unionists listen when he speaks. Some of the men in places of power in labor circles have shown a tendency to I e earned away by sense of their own authority, and exert that authority by calling strikes on the sightest provocation To all such, and, indeed, to or ganized labor in general, may be commended these words of Mr. Mitchell, uttered before a Boston lador union last Saturday night: Many persons think that I go about causiug strife and strikes, while these are the things with which I wish to do away, by bring ing capital and labor together. I hope the day will come when agreements will abolish strikes and lockouts, aud this will be only when both sides understand one another better. These are sane words. They are the words of a far-seeing man. Mr. Mitchell perceives, as he is in a position which enables him peculiarly so to do, that the present spirit of antagonism between the employer and the employed can lead, ultimately, only to disaster for both. And because his reserve power is commonly less than that of the large employer, the working- man is destined to be the greater sufferer in such a war. The way of wisdom and brother hood, the enlightened, twentieth century way, in meeting these in dustrial questions, which must in evitably arise, is the way of con ference, conciliation and arbitra tion. Thus, when the man who toils by his brain and capital comes into closer and more fraternal rela tions with the man who toils by his skill, there will be awakened a spirit of mutual helptulness to take the place ot that which too widely prevails to-day, a spirit of open hospitality, or, at least, of exclusive self-interest. Labor and capital are the two oars of one boat, and both must work in harmony before there can be progress. Press. CHUR0U0LU8 MEETING. The fourth meeting and banquet of the Church Club of the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania was held at Williatnsport on the 17th itist. There was a large attendance of members, but Bishop Talliot was prevented from being present by n railroad wreck. Alter the business meeting the banquet was held at Hotel Uplegraff. President Lamberton at the close of the dinner presented C. LaRue Muuson, Ksq., "ruler of the feast" Mr. Munsou brilliantly officiated. He referred to the Church Club as an ideal means of bringing the laymen together and making them a unit in this diocese, which is the greatest in the land. Mr. Muuson himself gave hearty wecome to the visitors, but called upon Hon. Km erson Collins to deliver a fomul welcome. Mr. Collins responded in his able way, welcoming the members of the club for what they represent an organization promo tive ol great good aud helping to make the Golden Rule more a law of everyday life now in 1903 than it was in 1803. William R. B:itler, of Mauch Chunk, gave interesting echoes of the recent great missionary council in Washington ana recalled some striking figures that were presented. 1 here are 4,179 parishes now en gaged in missionary work aud the woman's auxiliaries alone last year gave $89,716.87, while the child ren's missionary offering last Lent was $1 16,097.25. in n. I last year $,200,000 was given for missions, yet appeals are turned down every month for want of funds. The story of the Good Samaritan teaches that when the opportunity comes nothing can justify its being neglected. Colonel Clement, of Sunbury, voiced the imperative need of divid ng the diocese and told of the com mittee sending out 3,000 appeals for interest in the work of raising $60,000 endowment fund. The money, he stated, must be propor tioned according to the amounts for which each parish is assessed Clergymen and laymen will canvas the large places and a solicitor will go to the smaller parishes. Colonel Clement is confident that the en dowment fund will be raised by next June and the diocesan con veil will be is best l 1 The Scranton Board of Trade is making a determined effort to bring President Roosevelt to that city to attend the annual banquet to be held in January.

Colonel Freeze, chancellor of the diocese, recalled the opposition in 1865 to the first division of the diocese of Pennsylvania and the final setting off of the Pittsburg diocese in the next year, and of the sstting off of the Central Pennsyl vania diocese in 1871. The drama of 1 87 1 be expects to be re-enacted here and he would urge the naming of the new division the Diocese of Susquehanna. Colonel Freeze said that the bishops must be great leaders, but it is even better to be a layman, for it is the laymen who send out missionaries and who sup port the clergy After Dr. roley had responded to Uur Uuests, urging that the lay men be known as manly and Godly men, and presenting Williarasport' claim to be the chief city of the new diocese, if it be formed, the doxology was sung and the Rev. Mathews pronounced the benedic tion. THE CLUB'S OEFICERS The officers ot the club for 1903 are: President, James M.

Bloomsburg Council has held a number of open meetings, and they have always been very pleasant af fairs, but one of the most eujovablc of them all wan th one held last Friday evening. A large number of members a ni their friends were present, and an excellent program was rendered which included a solo by Mrs. H. S. Barton, music by La Tourettc: s orchestra, and speeches by II. V. White and G. K. Wilbur. Delicious refreshments were served under tne direction ot W. H. Ho isel. Judge HaJley of Lowell, Mass., in his examination of candidates for naturalization, inquires particu larly as to whether the applicants belong to the anarchistic societies, or to any other societies mimical to the Government." He asked this question, at some length, a few days ago, of a wor;hy French Caua- iliau, who caught the inquiry as to "the other societies" but lost the forcj of its application. Hesitating for a moment with a puzzled expression upon his face, be finally said: "Oh yes, I do. I belong to the Royal Arcanum." The judge saiiled. and admitted the candidate iuto citizenship Lowell Citizen. From the Vineland (N. J.,) Journal ot September 1st: "The-Royal Arcanum is a great body of men, 275,000, banded to gether for the home. To become a member of this fraternal Order a man must be a good risk, morally as well as physically. A man who deals in whiskey cannot b:come a member. The fraternal feature of the Order is a valuable one and should receive careful attention by auy one who is looking for real protection for the family. The Royal Arcanum is just what it pre tends to be, a real protection fot the home and family. No man who has a wife aud children or other re latives who are dependent upon him 111 any way lor support, can afford to be without the protection afford- edby the Royal Arcanum." Tli2 executive officers of the Associated Councils of the city of Philadelphia and vicinity have in augurated a concerted movement for the double purpose of strength ening weaker Councils and con tributing 2,000 new members be tween November x, 1903, and April 30, 1904, with the object of having 40,000 in the jurisdiction at the end of the term. The move ment has the endorsement of the Grand Regent, who on November 2nd opened headquarters in the Pennsylvania Building, 15th and Chestnut Sts., for the furnishing of intormation ana distribution ot literature. An apportionment of new members is to be made for each Council in Philadelphia and l ciuity.
