William Jennings Bryan in a Speech tit Knoxvillo, Tenu., Deliv ered Sept. 10, 1S0G. The Strike Ordered. Iin STRIKl. has lu-en or- ilernr AX mis iinur u is liinbiibly needless to add anything ! that which but nlrcndy l"'ii said upon a subject of Midi vital Intrust to this and sur rounding coinmunltli'S. While many of the moii' angulii' uro hopeful that the dlsast-T sure to iicrrimpiiny thin Mow ;it the IndtiMtili's of Norlheistern Pennsylvania may yet be averted, the outlook today is certainly not encour aging. Although It Is not probable thnt should tho men go out the pres ent troubl" -will be cliaractcrlr.ed by scenes nnd Incidents that In past have made the older reslm nts of this vi cinity shudder at th" cont-inpl.itlnn of memory's pagis, the spectacle of tin itsnndH of men turning their backs upon the avenues of toll on the eve of v Inter Is one that can arouse none but the gravest npprtheliKlons. The lst llnancial report of the condition of the United .Mine Wot Iters, which appeals In nnothe" column of The Tribune- today, demonstrates Hie futil ity of hnppf that aid foi strikes will be forthcoming from that organiza tion. It does not seem possible In view of the experiences of th" past, that oven n small majority of the mine workers of the anthracite legion will voluntar ily enter upon the course mapped out for them by the labor agitators, but bo that as it may, we are facing n threatened misfortune thnt will In flict hardships not only at homo but In localities remote from tho &cene3 of active operation. Hoi us hope that tho calamity may be averted. Indifferent voters will do well to re member ti.at the gold standard un doubtedly the foundation of present prosperity, can be modified and re pealed by any future congress contain ing a sufliclent number of free silver mischief breeders. Vigilance at tho polls will be necessary for the protec tion of tue bound money policy against the attncKH of the followers of the false prophet of 1S96, whose avowed purpose Is still tho overturning of our financial system. Campaign Suggestions. AS Till-: end of tho campaign approaches, it Is well for every voter who has tho welfare of the country nt heart to consider tho following ques tions that have been asked by a con temporary: Are you doing your duty In this cam paign? Aro you willing to rest con tent with tho knowledge that your own vote Is all right, though your neigh bor's may bo wrong? Is your ballot In No ember to bo the extent of your ef fort for tho ie-eloctlon of President McKlnley njid tho continuance i1 our present national policies? JUwo you no ume to devote to the malntennnco of the national credit and tho glory and hpnor ot tho national flag? Is it fair to President McKlnley thnt, when lid needs your active help,' j-ou go away to enjoy the prosperity "hlci his ad ministration has brought to you, and shrug your shoulders and say that ho Is sure of re-election without you? Suppose that President McKlnley, af ter his election in 18M, had assumed, ns you do now, that the country would take care of Itself without further ex ertion by him, that he would make no effort himself, but rely on congress to guide the country to prosperity what would you have thought of such a president? Precisely the same rule npplles to the Republican voter who Is Indifferent to his duty In this crisis. "No tlmo for politics" Is no excuse. It Is merely an apology for party disloyalty. Had not PieMdent McKlnley worked night nnd day for a tariff law that meant indus trial activity, and for monetary legis lation that Inspired confidence In our national Integrity, there would be far moro tlmo for politics and less for buslrieas today than there was four years ago, bad as conditions were then. If by any chance Pmidcnt McKlnley should be defeated thoro, xvnuld also be time for politics by many men who aro now too much cnuiosnul Jn business pr In plcnsuro to do their full duty by their party and their country. There Is work to be done hnrd, per sistent work. Somebody 1ms jrot to do It. Will you do your share Will you talk politics to your hesitating nclgli bor or your doubting friend until he Is an aggressive McKlnley advocate? Will you write Into doubtful states and congressional districts and urge tlto vital Importance of an active cam paign nnd united effort against tho possibility of a Bryanlte triumph The list of twelw presidential tick ets this Tall does not contain one that really nils the ideals of the Simon Pure Democrat. The Chinese Bill of Expense. N OW THAT the day of settle ment Is not far off the ques tion of liquidating tho bill of costs that has been rapidly swelling In connection wllh the Chinese trouble, Is one that must puzzle even tho most sanguine believer In the resources of the flowery king dom. It is stated that olllclal esti mates of tho cost of Germany's Asia tic expedition put It nt 100,000,000 mntks, or 'about $21,000,00. up to Octo ber 1, with indefinite rapacities for Increase after that date, fiermnnv Is famous for her ability to conduct mil itary and naval movements nt less cost than nny other nation In tho woi Id. The movement of the samn force to China by Kngland would prob ably cost twice as much; by the United States, Judging from tho ex penditures, that cost would bs at least tripled. At this ratio tho bill of costs con tracted by the powers must nlreadv be In the nelghboihood of $100,000,000 and the amount will Increase at the rite of from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 monthly while the foreign troops con tinue to occupy Pekln. It Is expected to get this back fiom China with claims for other damages, making tho tolal live or six times greater. Tlie declaration to the effect that China will be mado to settle for the expenses Incurred by the expeditions sent to rescue the foreigners nt Pekln Mho resisted the Poxers so many days, sounds very line, but the question of raising the fund Is one s-ulllrlent for meditation. How is a nation which had to bor row money to pay the Japanese In demnity to raise $5(10,000,000 or $600. 000,000 to pay the powers at the pres ent Juncture? The common people of China have been blfd by the tax gatherers until they aro already poverty-stricken. If some means could be found for extracting the money from the otllclals who have fattened on the pciqulsltes of Chinese government the Indemnity might be collected, or rather the Interest on it might be. Put that would necessitate a control of China like that which Kngland has estab lished In Egypt, nnd the task of sub jecting the whole of China to such government would Involve an Increase of the bill of costs that is calculated to produce a universal dlstostn for It. The only other way to collect that In demnity Is to tako territory which may be tlv reason why most of the poweis aie proclaiming that thoy do not want territory. At all events tho bill of costs In China is Increasing, while tho pros pect of getting the money back Is not Improving in proportion. Of course, tnere will be no pence In Luzon for those who are looking for trouole. Wlint the Civil Commission Is Doing in the Philippines. (From Trcsident MeKlnley'a letter of Accept ance.) u: NDEU THEIU Instructions the commission, composed of representative Americans, of different sections of the country parties. nnd fiom different political wbose character and ability guaranteed the most faithful, Intelli gent and patriotic service, are now la boring to establish stable government, under civil control, In which tho In habitants shall participate, giving them opportunity to demonstrate how far they are prepared for self-government. This commission, under dnto of Aug. 21, 1900, mnkes an Interesting report, from which I quote the following ex tract: Hostility against Americans wa orkinallv arou-cd 1'3' absurd falsehoods of uniirupuluiis leaders. The distribution of troops In MO pu-ts has, I13 lontjct. largely dispelled liostilit-, and ttcadlb Improied timper of people. The 1 -'proicmciit is furthered by abuse of inur gii.t. Large number of people long b,r peace, und willing to accept (ros. eminent under the fulled htale. Insurgents not surrendering after defeat dliided into mull gneiilla bands, under gcnrral officers, or become lobbers. Nearly all of the prominent general and politicians of the Insurrection, except Agulnaldo, bale since been captured or haic surrendered and taken the oatli of alligiauce. All northern Luzon, except two proilnees, substantially free fiom Insuigents. People busy planting, and asking for municipal organization. Hallway and tele graph line from Manila to Pugapan, 122 miles, nut molested for flic month. Taga logs alone aotlie in leading guerilla warfare. In NYgriH, (Vbu, Ilomblon, Maiale, Silurian. Tablas, Ilohol and other Philippine island little disturbance exists, and ciill giiicniment eagerly aualti'J. Four years ot war and law lessness In part of islands base crcjtcd unset tled conditions. Native constabulary and militia, which should be organized at once, will end this and the terrorism to which defense less people are subjected. The nallie desire to enlist in these organlratlon. If Judielouslr selected and olflecred, will lie efficient forcea for malntainaneo of order, and will permit early material reduction of United State forces. Turning islands oser to coterie of Tagalog politician will blight fair prospects of enormous improvement', urlie out capital, make Ilfo and property, secular and religious, mot insecure; banish by fear of cruel proscrip tion considerable body of eonsersatlve Filipinos who have aided American in well-founded belief that their people are not now- fit for se'rf-gor-ernment, and reintroduce same oppression and coiriiptlnn which existed In all proilnees under Malolos Insurgent gos ernment during the eight iiiintlu of Ita ronttol. The result will be fac tional strife between jealous leaders, chaos and anarchs, and will require and Juslsty active In- ICTtl'lllluil ui uiii Kuiniiiunii m uuiu uiiiis. Uininesa interrupted by war muili improved as peace extends. In Negros more sugar in cultivation than ever before. New forestry regulations give impetus to timber trade and re duce high price of lumber. The customs col lections for last quarter 60 per cent, greater than ever In Spanish hlslorj-, and August col lection show further Increase. The tolal res ume for samo period one-third greater than In any quaiter under Spain, though cedula tax, chief souico of Spanish revenue, practically abolished. Fconomy and efficiency of military got ernment base created surplus fund of $4,000, OX1, which should be expended In much needed public works, notably approvement tl MaulU hirbor. With proper tariff and Iselll. tics Manila will become, creat port o! Orient." The commission Ii confident that "by a J'ldl clom customs law, reaonable land tax nnd proper corporation franchise tax, Imposition ol no greater rate than In m.itre American statu will irle 1cm aiinnjaiiec and with peace villi produce rnrnnri sultlolrnt to pay expenses ol ifflclcnt Roicrniucnt, lueludlty? mllltl.i and con atabulary." They "arc prcparlnn n stringent dill ncrilcfl lnv ciilns equal opportunity to Filipino nnd Amrrlcins with preference for for mer uhcre qualifications are equal, to enter at lonest rank and by promotion reach head of department." They riort that there arc "calls from all ptrts of tha Islands for public schools. school supplier and KnglUh teacher, Greater than the commission ran provide until a com. prehemhe school ylcrn Is nrirsnlreil. Xlghl school for teaihlns KnclWi lo adult are bclpir established In response to popular demand.

Thin shows to my countrymen what has been nnd Is being done to bring the benefits of liberty nnd good govern ment to these wards of tho nation, livery effort hns been directed to their peace and prosperity, their advance ment nnd well-being, not for our ag grandizement, nor for prldo or might, not for trade or commerce, not for exploitation, but for humanity and civilization; and for tho protection of the vast majority of the population who welcome our sovereignty against the designing minority, whoso first de mand after tho surrender of Manila by the Spanish army was to enter tho city that they might loot It and de stroy those not In sympathy with their selfish and treacherous designs. "Neither In tho Philippines nor else where will the cause of human liberty look for Us champion to a party whoso only hope of obtaining power lies In tho suppression of human rights nnd In an organized conspiracy to nullify tho guaranties with which the constitu tion endeavors to surround tho citizen. From thousands of polling places In this election, In which tho Democratic party Is so much concerned about 'the consent of the governed,' the negro citizen will be excluded by laws so contrived ns to keep out tho negro Ite publlcnn while ndmlttlng the white Democrat, though both present them selves with similar qualifications, ex cept as to color. Tho party which will not nllow tho constitution to follow tho flag through tho Carolinas, through Mississippi and Texas, has no occasion to distress Itself about the constitu tions Journey 4,000 miles ncross the ocean." New York Pepubllcan Plat form. From one-third to one-fourth of tho glucose starch product of last year went Into tho manufacture ot candy, according to a statement which has liwn made by oiy of the leading authorities In tho glucose trade. Tho prosperity In the candy trade, which Is directly responsible for such an enormous part of last year's great consumption of glucose, and the ab sorption at good prices of a big por tion of the crop of the corn growers of tho West, was directly duo to the geneial prosperity. 'Wilien tho mills are closed, and the workman can not fill his dinner pall with the necessa ries of life, candy Is a luxury for which there Is no demand. With the prosperity that set In after tho elec tion of McKlnley, candy soon found Its way Into the homes of worklngmen, just like gold at tho same time found Its way Into tho channels of money circulation. General Chaffee was selected as com mander of the American forces in China principally upon nccount of his reputed good sense. Ills decision to retire from Pekln before being obliged to take sides in a threatened unpleas antness between tho powers shows that no mistake has ..een mado in tho se lection. Tho wives of Gentlemen James Cor bett and Kid McCoy offer testimony that confirms tho growing suspicion that tho Ilorton law protected moro fake contests than genuine exhibitions of the manly art. Mr. Cleveland hns broken the silence at Buzzard's Raj- long enough to an nounce that he Is not In politic this year. LAWTON'S LAST XETTER. "I would to God that the truth of this whole Philippine situation could be known to every one in America as I know it. If the real history, inspiration and conditions of this in surrection, nnu tne influences, local and external, that now encourage the enemy, as well ns the actual possi bilities of these islands and peoples and their relations to this great East, could be understood at home, we would hear no more talk of un just 'shooting of government' into the Filipinos, or of hauling down our flag in the Philippines. If the so-called anti-imperialists would honestly ascertain the truth on the ground and not in distant America, thoy, whom I believe to be honest men and misinformed, would be con vinced of the error of their state ments and conclusions and of the unfortunate effect of their publica tions here. If I am shot by a Fili pino bullet, it might as well come from ono of my own men, because I know from observations confirmed by captured prisoners that the con tinuance of fighting is chiefly due to reports that are sent our. irom America." THE SCRANTON PLAN. From the Philadelphia Times. In Scranton they lme tot tho management of the city councils down to a fine point. It has been shown In reient Investigations that there Is an established tariff for soles. The manager of a telephone ordinance testifies that the price he paid was JIM a bead, though a few exception ally saluauie lotcs came as nign as iiv. These are cash transactions. It Is also testified by the agent of tho city railway company that he hs paid a sufficient number of tho members a regular salary of $23 a month, not for any par ticular services, but just to enable- them to see tne merit in the ordinance he wished pissed or demerits of those he objected to, Another opera tor In the Mine line explained that councllmen alwa'i needed fireworks In July and tuikejs at Christmas, and ho took caro to see that they were supplied. There is a buslness-llVo precision about the Scranton sjtcm that makes It superior to the Icvu direct meiuods followed In Philadelphia. A councilman knout just what he lus to depend on and the promoter of legislation knows Just what It will cot and can ileal with the councllmen direct, Instead of fixing the boss at a high fig ure and tnisllng to his Influence to fix the coun cil. Ihis other plan .( more economical and at the same time must glie more general satisfaction. Bryan and the Supreme Coiirl From the Philadelphia Press. A majority of the Federal Supreme court is appointed cery eight scars. I'.scry president la Ms term appoints mougli members to change us balance on closely contested questions. The Svprcme court Is no fixed fact. People who d hide thcmsclies that the Supreme court can pre cnt Mr. Ilrjnn liom going scry far or scry fast In the svrcng direction ore crassly Ignorant of the rapidity wiih which this ourt change.

In our system the Federal Supreme court an swers to any great political change as inueli n any depirtment of the goscrnment. The house of representallses (hinge In two years.

In due time It must respond to them, and the election of Mr. Itryan will put two. perhaps three, believers in Ilrjnn law on the bench of tho Supreme rouit. Ilo j on want Ilrjan law on the Federal Supreme court? LITERARY NOTES. There is a general Idea tint the life of an his torian is calm and placid. This Is not alisasa the case. Charles Hemstreet, author of "Nook and Corners of Old New Yoik," who i trying to make history popular by telling of a city's hndnnrks, docs not find peace and quiet always associated with history-. In searihlng some old piper recently-, Mr. Hemstreet came across the record of a gr.ne yard, which, according to his reasoning, should have been in the block which extends cast from Second avenue at Twelfth street. Hut he found this block solidly built up, With no evidence that a graicinrd hid cicrbetn there. The houses were mostly Icncment. occupied by Italian, who Iewed with suspicion the his torian's rccpicst to be pciiultled to look out of their back windows. In some of the yards, la thought, there might be a trace ot the thing he sought. Finally he boiilly entered a tcmnicnt to go to the roof, wiieie he eoubl get a view of the interior of the block. On tho stairway he met the janitor. "Docs .ur. Jonc Hie hero?" asked the re searcher, trying to glic an excuse for being in tlie house. "Top floor," the Janitor unexpectedly an swered. Tho historian passed on up the stairs to the roof. To his great Joy he tuuld sec from there an enclosed space, the last remnant of a gr.iic yard more than 200 3 ears old. It lay there abso lutely healed up by the cnelo-sing tenements. Joyfully studying the details of the bidden grave yard, the Ustorian suddenly felt a touch 011 his shoulder. 'I he janitor had folowed him, evident ly mistaking him for a sneak thief. "I want you," said tho janitor. "Let me explain, tlie " "Kxplaln nothing. Wc'se hid things enough stolen. Now, I've got 30, an' Fse got ye right. Come on," aud the janitor dragged the man who writes history down stairs, lluring the file flight walk the historian talked faster than he bad escr written. He talked to such good effect that tlie janitor decided not to have him arrest ed, but fciid: "Anyhow, It looks cpieer." And tho historian, agreeing that It did look decidedly queer, and fearing that tho decision might be lcconsiilorcd, hurriedly turned hi back upon the hidden giavc 3ard and left the Janitor In posies-ion. The raciil differences thit exist between Japan and China hue probibly bd some obsericr to belieie that tho two peoples are naturally anti pathetic. The war of lilt his been cile-d as proof of this, and In the present crisis in the far F..it it appears to be taken for granted by many that tlie Japanese people will regard Cliini's misfor tune as their opportunity. That there is no valid reason for thinking that this is Japan's attitude, ami that those who are most prominent in guiding Japan's public policy sincerely desire to establish and foster friendly feeling with China, Is ably thown by Durham Mhlte itesens, esq., counsellor of the Japanse legation. In his article, "Japan's Attitude Toward China," which appear In the current number of Collier's Weekly. Lieutenant fieneral Nelson A. Miles writes on appreciation of .Major General A. II. Chaffee, in command of the I'nlted State forces in China, In the September Home Magazine. This is followed by an article on (icncral Chaffee's caiccr by Wal don Fawcett.
