"If there- is any one who believes the gold stantlaid is a good thing, or that it must bo maintained, I wain him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him It will not be maintained in this country longer than I am nble to got rid of it." William Jennings Bryan in a Speech at Knoxvllle, Tenn., Deliv ered Sept. 1G, 189G. A Note of Caution. AT A TIMR like this, when thousands of men aio at- a high tension nn account of the stilke, and when tho nat ural opportunities for the development of mischief nre In excess of tho ordin ary, the order-loving people of the community, whether i Ich, poor or medium; whether minora, operators or neutrals, have a right to expect of newspapers and of public speaker? modeiatlon of statement and absten tion from nuinufactuicd scares or threats. In the main this expectation has been met: but It was unfair on the part of an .evening contemporary last night to uujtinunco with Haling head lines and with all the characteristics of yellow Journalism that Colonel AVatres had notltkd the captains of tho Thirteenth regiment to hold the ml dlers In readiness for an emergency call, the Inference being thnt riot was about to crop out and a. torrent of bloodshed to follow. Wo say this i:ts unfair, for the reason that whatever steps the lawful authorities may have taken or may hereafter take, In the way of pteeautlon to facilitate the pieservatlon of law and order In th lamentable contingency of a sudden emergency, certainly neither Colonel "Watrcs nor any other Intelligent citi zen of Seranton would Invite or pro voke such a dire calamity or fan tho fcparks of violence In order to sell papers. In this connection wo note with re Bret the reported remark of a recent speaker at a mass meeting In this city, tho purport of which was that If blood was to bo shed tho strikers would shod their share. It seems to us that thli was uncalled for nnd not In the spirit which rliould govern the words of those vested with largo responsibilities and for tho moment possessed of wide spread power. It would have been In questionable taste had there been any threat of bloodshed from any other source: but It was In very bad taste, It seems to ns, as an unprovoked threat likely to scare the timid nnd to convey to tho outside public the false impres sion that the mine workers of Serau ton aie men eager to enter Into scenes of disorder. Their conduct shows clear ly that such would be a false impres sion, for a nioi o orderly movement thus far has not been recorded In tho annals of labor conflicts. Lot us not solicit trouble by Injudic ious journalism or uncurbed speech. I-.et us have a due prudence of utter ance. Most of us will want to live In Seranton long after this unhappy strlko Is over and It would bo much bettor to conduct our notions now fo that wo will bo abK to llvo hero In after years with tho respect of our n'ighbois and tho approval of our own consciences. While tjilklnr; of withdrawal from PcJUn jCJonornl Chaffe Is w Wely dem onstrating to the forelpn neighbors that he Is prepated to stay If neees tsajfix A School Bonn! Injustice. I X Tlir: readjustment of pupils made Imperative by the over crowded condition of certain school buildings at the beginning f the present school year some ln ustlces have been wrought which seem lardly to have been necessary. In ono Instance children living In n ntral city school district wero taken rom rooms which wero not crowded ind sent to a school in nnother district vhere they were not welcome and vhere ' the 'conditions wero In some says undesirable. I' very day since ihe changes have been made these lit tle ones have returned home In tears because of attacks made upon them by pupils who regard them as Inter lopers.,, To copipol them to endure this kind of hardship Is Inhuman and to keep them out of school Is to violate the law. Tho only nlternatlvo Is for their parents to send them to n private school and this Is expenslvo and In de rogation of their rights ns taxpayers. In this Instance the school which was considered to bo overcrowded eon talps a jiumber of pupils, residing- In outside districts who have been ad mitted to this most desirable school by special permission. In order tliat the outsiders may be Accommodated where they do not belong, pupils en titled tn admission are sent where they, also, do not belong and where they nre practically deprived of the iiilvrtntnireH for which their parents pay generous taxes. We are ndvlaed that thli Is not an uncommon occurrence. If bo It Is none the less Indefensible. In fairness to the city superintendent It should be noted that he la not to btanio In this matter and Is heartily opposed to such manifest discrimina tion. The evil traces back to thought lessness on the part of the Hoard of Control and to the roluctance of Indi vidual controllers to stand firmly for tho rights of their constituents In gen eral ns against special Inlltienco and "pulls." Its remedy must come through those affected In each case making It watm for the responsible agent. Statistics concerning Porto Ulco nf falrs show that foreign trade Is con stantly Increasing, having doubled It self In three years. It Is only tho Democratic orators who can discover that this prosperity which furnishes n it -venue for the Island"? through ia moderate duty Is a calamity. Consolation. I N THfi COtmsK of one of his speeches made In the Maine cam paign, Hon. Henry AV. Palmer. of Wllkes-Harre, cited some fig ures of current prosperity thnt nre worthy of widespread notice. Paid he: "When the Deople have money they spend It for luxuries and give It for enmities, In ISO"? tho American people gave for charltnblp gifts, a total of ,23,9SI,000. In 1?9D the total charitable gifts amounted to $T3,749,fl.'i6. With the advance of good times the use of lux uries Increased at a tremendously rapid rate. In nine of tho states of the northwest more pianos were sold In six months of 1S1D than during tho previous six years. In 1SP9 seven mil lions more money oiders wro Issued than In 1S9S. Tho average savings de posited per Individual Increased from M'l! in 1S9S. to $110 In 15,09. Crime ev erywhere decreased. A little more than one-half ns many persons were convicted and sent to the penitentiaries In 1S99 ns In 1S9:.. Prosperity brings with It a feeling of hope, and It is now easier to earn a living than to steal it. Perhaps tho chango has been greater In the west than in the east, but even in the anthracite conl fields the Increase In production was live million tons last year, reaching a grand total of fifty million tons, which Is more than was ever mined bo fore, and the piospcct for the coming year Is good for a further substantial Increase, which means more work and more wanes." Since these words were spoken the anthracite industry has become In volved in an unhappy and wo bellovo an unnecessary strike, and the pros pect of another year's Improved time In the mines, due to the market'sac ceptance of more coal, but Indicative of better earnings for the men em ployed, has been, as we believe, un wisely canceled. It Is now doubtful bow soon thli bright prospect can be recovered. No man can tell whnt ef fect this strike will have upon the fu ture of anthracite, for tho reason that no man can estimate accurately In ad vance the extent to which bituminous coal will occupy anthracite's forcibly vacated place In the market or how long, after the strlko Is over, It will be able to keep anthracite out of the hitter's old place. Tho leaders of th" strlko say that no soft conl will be al lowed to come Into anthracite's place. but if anthracite cannot ho had and soft coal Is to be bad, fuel users will have to buy It, whether they like It or not: and It Is a matter of fact that It can be had, for offers to supply It ate circulating freely among former purchasers of anthracite, nor can tho miners' union say to the soft coal op erators, with whom they nre under yearly contracts, hardly half explied, that no bituminous must go where an thracite has gone. This would mean a strike in the bituminous regions ns well, and then where would the strik ing nnthraclto miners got financial help? Wo must expect ns a consequence of the present strike a largo loss of mar kets to soft coal and gas. This Is not a partisan statement but a matter of plain fact. It is likely to take years to recover the giound lost. How far tho sacrifice of markets will adversely af fect business In the. anthracite territory or in future limit labor's chance of em ployment cannot be foretold but must bo taught by dear experience, gained with suffering and sorrow. While going through this painful experience It will, however, be In some degree con soling to realize that tho tcmnlnder of tho country Is prosperous ns never be fore, and In enjoyment of substantial blessings which we might have shared had wisdom prevailed over folly. The suggestion of an exchango to the effect that Chinese missionary money should be sent to Gnb'eston Is timely. It will probably be necessary for tho United States troops to per form missionary wotk In China for Kime time hence, nnd tho regular funds can therefore be used at Galves ton Immediately. The Danger ol Imperialism In Bryan's Election. (lly lion. Henry W. Palmer). I F THIS nnPURLIC ever be. comes nn empire the causes of the change will not be found In the acquisition of territory or the Increase of tho standing nrmy. As neither can take place without consent of tho people, neither Is to be con ceded as a possible agency In the sub version of the liberties of tho people. Wo shall bo no exception to tho rule that has always governed In every case In history where Imperialism has suc ceeded democracy. Tho liberties ot Greece were surrendered to the Mace donian empire only after the warring states had subverted all government, and the people welcomed any govern ment as better than none. "The wars of Marlus and Sulla devastated Rome before she accepted In exchange for anarchy nnd civil wars the despotism of Julius Caesar." Napoleon rode over the French Re- public nfter nnd not before Danton, Marat, Hobosplerre, nnd tho Sans Culottes had overthrown all law and drenched France with the blood of a million and n quarter of her best citi zens. "Democracy never pnscs Into etnplie but through anarchy nnd revolution." The election of Ilryan nnd the consequent triumph of tho Ideas he represents will be a far longer step toward Imperialism than the acquisi tion of the Philippines or the Increase of the standing army. Not nil, but some of his followets favor a debased currency and a consequent repudiation of Just debts. Not all, but some of his followers deny the power of the federal government to force a mob to allow tho United States mails to be transported without molestation anywhere In the United States. Not nil, but some of his followets believe In the Justice of sup pressing by threats and violence the rights conferred upon large bodies of citizens of the United States by the constitution, because In Ills Infinite wisdom the Creator saw fit to color their skins a shade dnrker than tha Filipinos. Not all, but some of his fol lowers believe In the assassination of nil rulers, both kings and presidents, nnd the depriving of all holders of wealth of their rights, privileges and property. Let the Inwiess and discontented fol lowers of Mr. Ilryan get control of tho government, place Altgeld, the anarch ist, on the Supreme Ilench, make TII1 mun secretary of state, and send Croker as minister to the Court of St. James, (events not only possible but probable If Ilryan Is elected) nnd the country will hnve taken the prepara tory step toward Imperialism. Perhaps Mr. Pryan Is not a revolu ., ... ..... .... i .. . ,., -., .ii, UliniM, UUL lot' rtiuiuuuilinin ui v.t- i not nn nvnnntlnn TlrvrvnltOM. OlVO them I control nnd tho time would not be long before the American people, torn nnd distracted by outrageous spoliation, disorder and unpunished crime, would welcome a dictator, king or emperor, as the French nation welcomed Napol eon, tho nngltsh, Charles Stuart, and tho Romans, Julius Caei.tr. Jinny persons will doubtless be ns fonlshed to learn that Mr. Altgeld has appeared In print denouncing anarch ists of high nnd low degree. But when considering the position assumed by romo of the New York Democratic politicians towards trusts at the wan ing of the Ice seaon one Is liable to conclude that It Is perhaps best not to be surprised at anything. WMlo the movements of Oom Paul Kruger may to a certain extent bo clouded by uncertainty It Is a relief to learn that the "Philadelphia A. D. T. messenger boy" has returned homo. Tho Roxers would be justified In lofing faith In the theory that tho Im perial government ot China is ablo to protect them. Coming Meeting of Municipal League Philadelphia Sept. IS. Till: I'.KIllTil tonfircnce ot the National .Municipal lciguo, v. huh will be held in Miludiikie Npt. 11. 20, 21, will attract to tli.it city in my public tpirited men from all parts ot the country. The Ftcady progre3 ot tin league in lis fight for the betterment ot munieiii;il gocrunuiit ha-, been mad.- possible hj thi' efficient Krie, s of its ofllceis and acthe membeii. Th(.c gentlemen, although busily en gaged in their rrfprctrte occupations and pro fissions, liie glHi their time, moans and en ergy to fmthiiing the. ebjtcts which are the fundamt'iitil pilmlplcs of their organiratlon. This ctTort lias not been confined alone to their own communities, but has extended throughout the entire t'nlled Mates. The league was or ginized to study the municipal problem as it exists today in the cities of this country and to create a deeper interest in municipal attain. It does not Hand for any party nor any particular form of government: nor is it bound by resolu tion or bj-law. What it elocs seek is to study and cun-lder carefully through public discussion In lis conferences and through its publications nil the miny phases of the serious problems of tmmicipal government; tn promote a deeper in terest on the part ot citlrens generally in muni cipal questions; to aiil and co-operate with those striving to throw- olf the shackles of corrupt and frlll.li rings; to create a higher and more enlightened clilo eplrit and to prevent the growth of that indifference In potltleal matters which Is fostered by the long-continued control of attain by uny one powerful political organi ratlon. The tlrt and only ptcsidmt the league bis had Is .Tames f. Carter, es., of New York citv, who for ycats his enjoyed the elMlnctlon of being a leader of Ihe bar of S'ew York and nf the t'nited Matt. Notwithstanding tin- ilcuiandg of a large and exacting practice he has .tlua.va found time to glee a very considerable portion of his time, monev and experience to public affairs, lie was an active and Influential member of the first committee of hcventy, which overthrew the Tweed regime; he wjs also n leading number of the liter committee of sevent which over threw' the liter nnd mole skillfully orgmized Tammany, lie was the president ot the City club until a short time ago and presided over the first national confluence for good elty gov ernment, held in Philadelphia, in Jinuiry, 1S0I. Professionally, Mr, Cuter has achieved the high- eft honors. He his participated In nearly, If not all, of the leading catcs of later jears. His best remembered of more recent efforts were his arguments In the Income tax cases and befnie the llchi.'g sea tribunal in Paris. He has twice liecn president of the Association of the Par of New York, perhaps the ineot active organiratlon of lavvvem in the I'nitrd Stat-s, and he has also been pre-ddent nf the American liar association, and of the Harvard alumni. Despite the oner ous duties of bis large and Important practice, has Ins never allowed a single civic or profct kionil duty to go by default. Secretary Clinton Ttogcrs Woodruff, of Phils. dclphla, has been active for years In the tn-.lt of improving the political condition of hit city nnd state. In Industry and enthusiasm he Is sur passed by no other officer of the league. Mr. Woodrutf Is a joung man, but Is one of the prominent reform figures of Philadelphia. Ho hat written extensively on municipal topics. Ills charm as a speaker lies In a thorough knowl edge of all the Intricacies of municipal govern ment, and an earnest, energetic delivery. His law- practice each jear makes greater demands on his time, until now his connection with re form movements it only maintained by an ac tivity and industry width make him one of the busiest men in Philadelphia, lie has served two terms at a member from the fifteenth district, of the Pennsylvania house of representatives, where he has persl-tently, and often with suc cess, advocated siun measures at were eaieu. lale.l to restore political liberty In the stale. Turing the session of 1S0D Mr. Woodniff Intro duced and bad passed a resolution providing for a constitutional amendment in the interest ot person il regUtistion and ballot reform. This will ionic be (or the legislature of 1001. and If again acted upon favorably, will go before the people for their approval in November of nest j ear. Mr. Woodruff Is counsel for the Municipal league of Philadelphia; secretary of the Penn sylvania Ilallot Ileforin association. He Is also a member of the executive committee ot the State Civil Service lleform association. o The chairman of tho executive committee, Charles J, Ilonaparte, esq., of Mainmort, lias a unlquo and attractive personality. He (a a vig orous, etfcctlvc and persistent reformer. Al- though enjoying a wide reputation aj the grand son of Kins rrr.rne llotmpartc, ol Westphalia, lie does not hae to depend upon 111' ancestral dis tinction for the prominent plaeo he occupies In the public alTalra of hi lulhe atate. lie was president until recently ot the Mar land Cllt Service Iteform association, and of the Union for Public flood, and is a leading member ol the llaltlmora ltelurm league, lie has aluaji bein an acthe ttmker for hlnher Ideals and bet ter conditions in the political life ot Ids stale and city. IJe Is an efTectbe speaker, alwajs listened to lth (treat interest on alt occasions. lit hss been pnimlncntly Identified with tl chll srrilco ami municipal retorm mocmcnt ainre their inception. Tn-Judge 11. J. Illandlii, el Cleveland, although no longer a member ot the executhe commit tee (haUnir been succeeded by Harry A. Oarfleld, the son ot former President (tarfield), is still n Influential member ot the lessee. Uke Mr. Car ter, although a leader in ids profession and en Jojlng nn extended practice, he alwnjs finds time to discharge, any elle duly imposed upon him. lie has been particularly lntereted In the mote ment to-serure uniform tfoernmrut for Ohio cities and as one of the representation, bofh ot the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and of the Cleveland Chamber ol Commerce. He has pressed with Victor for the accomplishment ol this much needed reform. It may not be gener ally known, that although the Ohio constitution forbids rpiclal legislation, nctcrtheless, a loop hole Ins been found by which special laws lor cities, under the guise ot an alleged classification, are permitted, and hase been enacted to an ab turd length. To change this state nf altalrs, which result In expensive and Inefficient munici pal government. Judge lllandlu lias been deot Ing his time and energies. One nsult of his la bors Is to be aeen In the interest manifested throughout his state In the subject, and In the enactment ot a law proUdlng tor the appoint ment ol a commlislon to draft a municipal code. Charles nichardson, of Philadelphia, the first vice-president, may, with Justice, be called the founder of the league. It was due to Ids Initia tive that the first conference for good city gov ernment was called. Out of this, the league grew, mainly thiough his advice and sugges tions. He, with many other active reformers, for a long time fell the need of some medium for nn exchange of Ideas and suggestions between those engaged In similar work in different lo calities. The league was designed to fulfill this need. Mr. Hlohardson is an unusual tpe of man. He retired from active business in tho prime of manhood, that he might devote his time and attention to public affair. He did not continue until be had acquired a large fortune, ns he might easily have done, but retired with a competence sufficient to give bun the time and means to prosecute those lines of public work In which he lias become a leader, lie was a member of the old Philadelphia Committee of 100, and has been a leading and Influential offi cer of it direct successor, the Citlrens' asso ciation. He Is the vice-president of the Munici pal lrsgue. of Philadelphia, a large, flourishing nnd increasingly useful organization. Indeed, lie has been Identified with every reform movement Inaugurated during the last fifteen sears In Ids native city, fly his wisdom, sagacity and conservatism-he Ins proved an Invaluable adviser and worker. Tho league is fortunate in having as Its president and viecprrsident two men so emi nently sate in counsel, and so experienced In praellcal work. Professor Edmund ,t. James, another of th-vice-presidents, has done perhaps as much as any other man In this country to populirlze the study of municipal government. During the thirteen years he wns connected with the Whir ton School of l'inanee and Kconnmy In the Cnl verslty of Pennsylvania he not only published numerous articles on the subject which hive hid n large circulation and a strong directing influence, hut he inspired many of his students, who have since gone out to do their own shire of (he work, with a full measure of his splilt. Perhaps bis most Important contribution was his article on tho "Municipal Ownership nf Has." Certain it is that his arguments prevailed in Philadelphia in pesti, and in many other com munities It lias sirved to strengthen tho hinds of those who believe that a city should own Its gas plants and other municipal monopolies. As a professor in the great nnd growing t'nlversily ot Chicago, and the director of lis university extension division, he is in a position tn guide and influence the educational side of tho muni cipal reform movenunt In the West. o Major Oeorge W. Ocha, of Chittannoga, a member of the executive committee, was n re former in office. Twice elected mayor of Chatta nooga, he demonstrated the sincerity of ids re form convictions by ids conscientious discharge of bis duties. .Not only did he introduce numer ous economic and reduce the debt of his eltv, but lie nt the nine time Inaugurated tinny im provements and stood between the city and selfish seekeis after franchises, and feirlessly used the veto power entrusted to him by the law. o Another 1'hlladelprdan on the board of officers is the treasurer. (Jeoige liurnlum, r., a leading member nf the firm owning the llihlwln locomo tive works, the largest place of Its kind In the world. As prtsldi-nt of the Municipal league, of Philadelphia, with its il.nno members, be ins been at once a wise nnd progressive leader of municipal reform. ,ulet and unostentatious, he Is, nevertheless, nn indefatigable worker. Pos sessing as be does, the confidence ot the large business community, he is aide to tiring many important reforms to a satisfactory conclusion. The other oincers and members of the execu tive committee arc all prominent men in their respective e-onimunltles and leaders of reform movements. Thomas N. Strong, the third vice president, is president of the Poitland, Ore., Municipal league; II. Dickson Horns, M. P., the fourth vlct-presidrnt, wis one of the aetlvc spir its leading the successful levolt against the New Orleans ring a few jears ago; William (1. Low, of llrooklyn, Is a brother of Piesident Seth Low, and possesses miny of Ids brother's admlr nM ooalltles: he Is nicsident of the Citizens' union, of Prnoklvn; John A.

I.. Siddein, of Washington; Joseph A. Miller, ot Providence; Dudley Tibbita, of Troy, and Oeorge W. Cutlirie, of Pittsburg, have all contributed largely of their time and means to advance the cause of better city government and have earned by hard and successful work the prominent pi ices they occupy in the management of the affaiis ot the National Municipal league.
