"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

tion that thenjmeets here
called upon to decide what
for the church.
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

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

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.
