other illustration of
the general good nature of the Amer
ican people, and their willingness to
find something amusing even in their
ovv n inconvenience. I f one could gather,
observes the Youth's Companion, all
the humorous paragraphs which the
newspapers have printed in regard to
the price of coal, hew ould have mate
rial enough for a book, and n clever
and amusing book it would be. .Nor
is ihe editor by any means the only
one who has had his little joke. The
jeweler displays on a piece of cotton
batting in his window a piece of coal
the size of his thumb-nail, with the
legend: "Cenuine, old-mine anthracite
coal from Pennsylvania. Not for sale."
The grocer packs'an egg-crate with
I'ie ces of coal and puts it on view with
the innocent sign: "Forty cents a
dozen." The safe dealer labels his
goods: "IJurglar proof coal-bins." This
habit -if laughing at discomforts and
making a joke of adversity is no new
trait In American character. It ap
peared during the Spanish-American
war. when men charged joyously to
the air of "There'll Me a Hot Time in
Ihe Old Town To-Night." It showed
itself in humorous songs sung in Libby
pri.-on and practical jokes perpetrated
in Andersonville. It cropped out in
that sout hern ca valryjnan w ho w as of
fered $5,000 in confederate currency
for his horse, and replied with a grin
that he had just paid SIO,OOO to have
liim shod. Ability to brush aside care,
and even danger, with a laugh, so far
from being an indication of weakness
or irresponsibility, is rather a sign
of strength, and decidedly a source of
strength. Lincoln, most typical of
Americans, was typical in this. His
jokes are history- as well as literature,
yet many of them were born of circum
stances which, to a man who lacked t he
saving salt of humor, would have been
tragic.

ence that stuns
people apparently seek to break the
spell of the unexpected by constantly
looking for it. When any new situa
tion arises they set their wits to im
agining how the most unfortunatecir-
cumstances could take place, and the
amount of anxiety and fore bod ing t he v
inflict on themselves in anticipating
the disagreeable is almost as nerve
wearing as the actual happening < 112
the unfortunate things thev antici
pate. 11 ii t why should we so invari
ably identify thes "unexpected" with
the disagreeable? The lioston Watch
man. speaking of this, observes that as
a matter of fact the surprises of life
are by no means always unwelcome.
Some of the best things that ever be
fell us came in the chapter of acci
dents-—a pure windfall. We were im
agining the worst and the best came.
In view of this-, is it not wise to let
the anticipated evil and the pood bal
ance each other, and keep the imagin
ation from forecasting too much? Cer
tainly, there is about as much reason
for anticipat iiig good accidents as evil
ones; and the man who believes that
the chapter of the unexpected may run
in his favor is by far the happier.

A GREAT PRESIDENT.

Those who have imagined Theodore
Kuosevelt t<i be impulsive in temper or
rash in action have only to consider
his couduct of the last few weeks to be
convinced of their error, sa\s the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Jiy his intervention in the coal strike
the president was doing his duty not
a duty enjoined upon him by the letter
of the law, but inherent in his office —
the duty of every chosen magistrate
of the people to take heed of the peo
ple'? welfare—the of a chosen
leader to lead.
In the discharge of this plain duty
Theodore Roosevelt found his motives
maligned, his mandate from the peo
ple denied, his good intentions scouted,
his benevolence flouted, his guests- in
sulted in his presence, his appeals wan
t-only disregarded, the dignity of his
office trampled upou and his purposes
insolently defied.
If Theodore lloose-velt had been
really impulsive, rash, hasty or head
strong here was a situation in which
those qualities would have appeared.
-No impulsive man, no man without the
fullest control over himself, would
have endured tlie-e affronts to himself
and to the dignity ofhis great office.
If Theodore Itoosevelt had for one
instant forgotten that he was presi
dent of the Un'ited States and as such
must be ever ready to sink personal
consideration and to make any indi
vidual sacrifice for* the public good, he
would have resented these affronts
with every one of the vast and niuiti-

plied power* which the people have j
placed in hi- hands.
ISut the president saw lliat here the I
wtul interests of the American people j
could not be served In a Kan Juun
charge—that the solution of this prob- |
lem demanded not only courage and j
resolution, but alto tact, and infinite !
patience.
And Thegdore lioosevelt, while 1 abat
ing" if * jot if resolution, was patient
and long-suffering. He demeaned him
self as became the chief magistrate of
the prudent, patient, and law-abiding
American people. Having defined the
is-ue unmistakably having shown
the people the cause of their j-tiffering
—he waited. He could afford to wait,
and he knew how to wait.
And he won. lie won for himself and
for all the people. He won absolutely,
completely, and without conditions.
He won not b_\ using the vast powers
of his great otlice. Hi- won by direct
ing straight at the point of resistance,
ant! by maintaining upon that point,
the unceasing and unrelenting pres
sure of public opinion.
No rash, hasty, or impulsive man
could have won such a victory by such
means. Only a cautious, patient, con
servative, steadfast man—a man great
enough to ignore every provocation—a
man strong enough to refrain from
u-ing his strength—could have won
such a victory.
And by that victory Theodore Roose
velt has approved himself not only
courageous hut cautious, not only res- j
olute but patient, not only fearless but j
devoted to hi- pet pie's weal, as strong \
in endurance as in action —a great p res

DON'T FORGET ISO 2,
Democrats Striving to I,em! fit; Peo«
pie Into n Repetition of (lie (irlt'V"
ou » Ml»t ak eof Tli a t Year.
Exactly ten years ago the majority
of the people of ihe United States was
being misled into the disastrous blun
der whose results were for four years
thereafter a source of constant and
deep regret to thousands of honest
voters who had permitted specious
misrepresentations- temporarily to
overcome their intelligence and good
judgment.
llelieving that memory is short
enough already to h»ve left behind the
bitter experience of those years, the
democratic party is seeking to mislead
the people into a repetition of their
grievous mistake of a decade ago, says
the Albany Journal.
Then the cry was that ''the tariff is
a tax." Now it is, that the tariff is the
"mother of trusts." Then the specious
argument was that the equivalent of
the respective import duties was ad
ded to the prices of the commodities
upon which duti< s were imposed. Now
it is that Ihe ta riff is enabling the great
industrial combinations to exist, that
they are oppressing and robbing the
people—the statement is made gener
al: specific instances are never cited—
and that therefore the combinations
should lie destroyed through abolition
of the tariff.
It is in order at this time, when an
other attack upon the protective sys
tem is being made, for every American
citizen to think back to the tine when
the Wilson law had removed part of
the tariff that had been falsely de
nounced as a tax. Commodities be*
] came cheaper, but the people had no
! money to buy, market values fell still
i lower. No profits remained for pro
' dueers, wages had tobe reduced, hour*
; of labor shortened, t housa nd s of work
| men had to lie discharged, mills and
| factories and furnaces and workshops
j became empty, and from the midst of
industrial and commercial stagnation
low prices mocked the masses who
could not obtain the money with which
to make purchases.
Hut one need not dwell on a descrip
tion <>f those conditions. Mere refer
ence to them will revive their memory
vividly in all minds. In ISOli the repub
lican party was welcomed back to pow
er with open arms-with rejoicing and
with t he confidence that it would bring
back prosperity. To do that- was not
an easy task. In any other country it
| would have been a task of years. Hut
the splendid recuperative power of
this nation came into play, and the re
institution of republican policies
quickly had gratifying effect. Pros
perity returned; it has abided with
us. and grown, and is still growing.
I n 11)00, the represent a fives of the re

liUKXED TO DEATH.
Twelve Men Lose Their Lives
in a Chicago Fire.
I'lnmeN Spread Itapldly— Jumped
from Seventh Story of Itui-nlti<:
Sugar Kelliiery and Were
Hushed to Oeatli l'lre
Ca lined by ICxploMon.
Chicago, Oct. 22.—T5y a fire which
broke out shortly before midnight in
the plant of the glucose sugar re
finery, situated at Taylor street and
the Chicago river, that factory was
almost entirely destroyed, and it is
said that 21) men lost their lives.
The flames spread so rapidly that
a man who was working on the third
floor had barely time to escape with
his life, and it is not thought by the
employes of the concern or by the
firemen that the men in the upper
story could have avoided death.
The plant of the refining company
consisted of three buildings, the dry
ing house, seven stories in height;
tiie main refinery, 14 stories high, and
another structure of four stories.
The tire started in the drying house,
being caused by an explosion. The
flames spread with almost incredible
rapidity, and by the time the first of
the fire department had arrived the
building was ablaze from foundation
to roof. ]t was impossible for the
firemen to make; any effective fight
against the flames, and in a short
time all the walls were down,
The fire was so hot that at one time
it was feared that the Taylor street
viaduct, across which access is had
to the South Side, would be destroyed,
but the firemen managed to save this
after a hard struggle. They bent
every effort toward saving the 14-
story building of the refinery, but so
intense was the fire in the drying
house that this caught fire lu sev
eral places, and at 12:30 a. M.it was
evident that it could not be saved.
The men employed in the three low
er floors of the drying house ran for
the doors and windows as soon as
they had knowledge of the fire, and
all of them succeeded in reaching the
open air.
The men on the seventh floor had
no chance whatever for their lives.
Several of them left the windows and
crawled along the sills in an effort to
reach a place of safety, but with the
exception of two men all those who
attempted to reach safety in this
way made up their minds that it was
certain death and went back into the
burning building. The two men, how
ever. determined to take the chances
of a leap, and climbing up on the
window ledge they sprang out into
the air.
One of them came straight down
for the greater part of the way, but
just after he was within a short dis
tance of trie pavement, his body
swung around, and he struck the
stone walk at full length. The other
man turned over and over as lie came
whirling down. Their bodies were hor
ribly crushed.
Four other men jumped from win
flows on the fourth floor. These men
were terrioly injured.
Chicago, Oct. 23. —Four of the five
bodies taken to the morgue from the
fire in the plant of the Glucose Sugar
Itcfiuing Co. Tuesday night have been
identified. They are:
Otto Trapp, ICdvvard Steinke, An
drew Woselka, Joseph Harry.
It is almost certain that several
more bodies are lying in the ruins,
but the heat of the debris has pre
vented firemen from making any
search and the exact number is not'
known.
A switchman declares that he saw
four men slide down a water pipe, and
it is known that one man jumped into
the river and made his escape. This
diminishes the list to 12,
RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

lltirliiu One Vritr.
Washington, Oct. 22. The number
of persons killed in train accidents
during the months of April, May and
June last, as shown by a bulletin is
sued yesterday by the inter-state
commerce commission, giving the
reports made by the railroad com
panies, was no, and the injured 1,810.
Accidents of other kinds, including
those sustained by employes while at
work and b.v passengers getting on
or off ears, etc., swells the aggregate
to 610 killed and, 0,520 injurd, or a
total of 10,136 casualties.
The total number of collisions and
derailments was 2.01(1, of which 1.094
were collisions. Of these 157 cobl
sions and lot derailments affected
passenger trains. The damage result
ing to cars, engines and roadway by
these accidents aggregated <1,813,833
Ihe average loss by each collision
was approximately $824 and by each
derailment $095.
The total casualties during the
fiscal year ended June 110 last, includ
ing the above figures, was 2.-13 killed
and 30.500 injured. The number of
employes killed showed a diminution
of OS per cent, since 1893, when the
safety appliance act was passed, and
this decrease has occurred notwith
