"If there Is any one who believes the gold stanclaid is n good thing, or that it mu3t he maintained, I wain him not to cast his vote for ms, because I promise him it will not be maintained in this country longer than I an: able to get rid of it.'" William Jennings Bryan in a Speech at Knoxvllle, Term., Dellv eied Sept. 10, 180G. Questions. HOW TAX IT benefit the men on strike In refuse to per mit nn'iotIen to work whiisi- owners agree to pay the wiiRps asked, and th. stoppage of which thtcatens to Intel f"te with the llinnliiK of the public schools? If the public HchoolH should be closed, the ones to sull'cr most would bo the chil dren of they(. very men now on strike. The children of the operators can, If necessary. K away to school; It Is the idle breaker boy or the daughter of t'i poor who needs most of nil the uiivnntdRPM of free public Instruction. How can It benefit the i.ien on strike to offer them "inploymeiit In the soft coal i'prIoii, wh"n their homes and projK'ity Interests are lornted In tli nnthinclte reKlonV If they cjo out there tliy will dig the very fuel which will undermine anthracite and thus under-cut the value of their posses sions at home. The anthracite miner does not want to U soft coal. What his Interest calls for 1 a chance to dipr the hard black dlnmotid. not two or three days In the week, to supply a fitful 111.11 ket. but every day In the week at fair worcs. KncouraRltiR soft coal to beat out hard coal in the mar ket does not Impiove his prospect one particle. The more haul coal mlneis that ko into the soft o,il territory to compete with the labor of the bltu minous workers, the smaller the chance of RettliiR a fnir day's pay In either hard or soft coal niluln?. How can It benefit the men on stilke to shut off the fuel supply of the other Industries In this valley, as President Mitchell threatens to do, notwithstand ing his yearly contracts with the bitu minous operators? Will the stilknr's chance of winning be Improved by throwing his daughter out of the silk mill or his son out of the machine shop or factory? Is his ability to hold out likely to bo Inci eased bv cutting down Ills family's other sources of Income? Tlio stilke leader s.iys the mllllonahe railroad magnate In Xew Votk will Bqueal th st. Therefore he asks the poor miner to cut off all means of support. This of course affects the magnate's dividends, but to the miner and those dear to him It Is nothing less than sui cide. We cannot see the meilt in such Generalship. , The report of the committee which investigated the work done around Xo. 13 school Is none too severe In con demning the execution of Important contracts without the knowledge or approval of the board or building com mittee. In this Instance, Judging from the investigating committee's report r.obody in paitlcular was to blame: the $10r0 extra Job, like Topsy. Just grew. That Is scant consolation t,i the taxpayers, who have to foot the Mils. We are confident that they would jrefer to have the responsibility IKed und recorded, as they would If spend (ngf large minis of it list money hull--yjdiral.jv,.,. ' The Recent Grand Jury. TIIKlti: Altn two ways of looking at the work of the recent mm ml Jury. One Is lo compmln that the Jury did not go iurther In tin- direction of holding to trial men charged with vio lating tho liquor la.VK and the other Is to be thankful that It went as far cs It did. Knowing Juries as we do, and appre ciating from personal experience the 'nra'ctlcal difficulties In the' way of get ting two dozen men or a majority of them, to agreo on questions of this kind, we are not Inclined to over-em-phaslzc what the last grand Jury did not do, but arc disposed to bo grateful for what it did. The Jury, It Is true, Ignored bills re Jutlng to Sunday selling which from ilie Btnnpolnt of logic should linvo been presented to court. The lino of its reasoning, however, Is not difficult to Imagine. Here nro licensed dealers paying $550 a year and subjected to unfair competition from speakeasy keepers, who pny no license yet sell weok days, Sundays, to minors, to habitual drunkards and, in other words, break with impunity every clause in tho restrictive law. "Let us," ,ve can Imagine the grand Jury saying, 71rt;t clfwu QUjt the 5j)cuH.euslc, .who Vl.rn spice will permit. The Itlbiiiio '" glad to print rlioit litters Irom its trlrnds " Ing on current t.plrs, "i Iti rule Is Hut tin's mint be signed, (or publication, by tl writer a trul name: mid the comlltlcn ptrc nli nt r; eptai.ee I' that nil contributions shall Lc subject contribute nothltiB to tlie publlo revenues, bt-lore tlrnllnR peveroly with tlio tlconnpd lU'titci-H, whoso Stmilny BcllltiK Is forced ilium them by Brnk eusy competition." This nmy not lie In strict conformity with the Itleiil view of Justice, but It Ik very inurh like tlio line of humnn renponliiK which Is prevnletit In mod ern Jtitv rooms. The selection by Ciovernor Storjo of Wllllntii 1'. Potter, esq., his law tfart ner, for the vacant place on the i'stnto supfMiiP bench, cnlla to this lilKh place a Kontlointin with whoso abimtles the Roueral public Is not yet familiar, but tlio governor's! personal opportu nities for foriuliitf a correct estlmato of tlu'in have been ample to lend faith to his jitilcment. A Common Weapon. AX ADVKIITIHKM1 nlRht's Times, li older of Kvijmt X ADVKIITIHKMKNT In last Inserted "by tlve Hoard," request nil workmen 10 keep nwny from a ceitaln wnshery. adding: "Those who work after this date will be considered 'scabs' and their names will be published." A great deal has bfon said In years gone by about the Intimidation prac tised by certain employers, and In many Instances Just complaint has been heard at the use by unscrupulous capitalists of "blacklists," Intended to take from discharged employes the chance to earn an honest livelihood elsewhere. In most of the states stringent laws have been passed for bidding blacklisting in any form. The conscience of the people has felt thnt It was an unfair practice, n, species of snap and tyrannical Judgment, n "blow below the belt." Hence the use of the blacklist, if it has not wholly ceased, Is nowadays accomplished only by stealth, those guilty of It being ashamed to have the fact known. The right to work Is an Inheritance dating from the Divine Injunction that in the sweat of man's brow shall he eat bread. It Is a right which In tills country is upheld and sanctioned in tlie great charter of our liberties. It Is a light which no man may take away without violating both moral and statute law. To prevent Its hi fi Ingement by force and intimidation olllcers of the law are now massed In parts of the state and are held In readiness for mobilization elsewhere. Where one man voluntarily leaves a job, the law holds that another man may enter and work If he so chooses, and It says that wh"ii he shall choose to do so, the whole power of establish ed government Is nt his command to piotct him In the exercise of his right and to punish those who would tram ple over him. Tin. threat to publish as "scabs" men who exercise their rights as American citizens to take work which other men have left, is a. common weapon among strike leaders, but it has never yet won the approval of those who behove In Justice and fair play. Some of the well-meaning onlookers from a distance seem possessed with the Idea that Oiovernor Stone Is per sonally conducting th anthracite coal strike. Trouble Ahead in Cuba. I r IS OUOWIXC5 plainer day by day that we are going to have trouble In Cuba. The United States occupies under the Teller resolution an nnomalous and a perilous position In that Island. We have called a convention of the Cuban people to frame a constitution which Is to Insure a stable Independent government. The convention will be dominated by the radical element, who are opposed to granting any concessions to the United States and determined to have uncon ditional and Immediate Independence with their own type of agitators In the saddle. To acquiesce In such a programme would be to defeat the very purpose of our Intervention In Cuba and to prove perfidious to the trust placed in us by foreign governments und foreign Interests, which look to us for the full protection of their rights. The United States is in the relationship of guar dian to a minor child who Insists upon taking uncurbed management of his own affairs and who Is Incapable of managing them satisfactorily. If we accord the independence sought we open the door to Incalculable mischief and If we withhold Independence until the Cubans ate ready for It we Invite Insurrection nnd the taunt of faithless ness to a solemn pledge. It Is clear now that the Teller resolu tion was a gieat mistake; that It mortgaged the future in Ignorance of Its conditions; that It has proved In leal fact a stumbling block to tho achievement of the ends In view. Those who would have the United States make a duplicate of this error In the Philippines ate singularly short-sighted. "dniblnatlnns of capital whleh con trol tlio mat Uft In commodities neees- s.ir to the ueneral use of the people by s'uppiessiiiK natural and ordinary competition, thus enhancing pi Ices to the Keneral consumer, are obnoxious to the common law nnd the public wel fare. They ate dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should be made the subject of prohlbltoiy or penal legislation. Publicity will be a helpful Influence to cheek this evil. Uniformity of legislation in the several states should be secured. Discrimina tion between what is Injurious and what Is useful nnd necessary lu busi ness operations Is essential to the wise and effective treatment of this sub ject. Honest co-operation of cnpltnl is necessary to meet new business con ditions and extend our rapidly increns. Ing foreign trade, but conspiracies nnd combinations Intended to restrict busi ness, create monopolies nnd control prices should be effectively restrained," I'resldent McKlnley. "The suggestion that tho acquisition of territory Is Imperialism Is refuted by tho fact that neither Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, nor nny of their associates ura rega tiled as Imperialists, The Imperialism they advocated made homes for patriotic, liberty-loving, self-respecting citizens, whoso loyalty to tho government of tho United Ktutci Is unsurpassed by tho people of any or J,li lltlrtccu fiilglnul ftUtcs, If to sooooooooooooooooo LIST OF PREMIER CITIES.

Senator Stewart. General Palmer, of Illinois, 3vho passed away yesterday, belonged to the stalwart type of the old-fashioned Democracy lie 3vas not a brilliant man: he could not match Hryan or the Uryun type of public man In thrust, parry nnd versatility of opinion, con viction and argument. He was more substantial. His mental processes were slower, more conservative nnd safer. He was a thorough-going pa triot, strong In peace as he was firm In wanslnce the days of Allen O. Thurman he has been, among the Democrats of his generation, the no blest Roman of them nil. "Why should not the present gener ation enjoy opportunities similar to those furnished our fathers by the ac quisition of Louisiana, Florida, Texas, New Mexico and California? Why should not the wealth, power nnd en terprise of the American people be Increased and encouraged? May not the acquisition of the Inlands of the Atlantic and the Pacific wrested ftom Spain place the United States In the near future foremost ns a mnnufac tuilng, commercial, naval and political power?" Senator Stewart. Onlv two courses are open In the Philippines. One Is to furl the Hag, confess defeat nnd sail nway; the oth er to compel submission to our laws, establish it stable government such as will nfforil the largest possible partici pation by the people, and to glvo them the largest liberty; defend them from foreign Interference, and In due time, when they are able, and .not before, give them full control." Henry W. Palmer. AKiinlaldo evidently proposes to Btlclt to the pose of George Washing ton II, even If Mr. llrynn does show an inclination to forsake Lincoln for Absalom. As the days pass It becomes more apparent that n receiver would hnvo tlltllculty in paying even a small per centage of the various claims against China from the visible assets.
