An Untimely Strike.
FROM COMMENTS heard yes
torday aniong all classes of
citizens if is evident that the
employes of the Scranton
Hallway company do not have the
sympathetic support from the public
In this, their second strike within one
year, that they bad at the beginning
of their first battle. We do not think
that the company has gained much in
public favor in the interval; but the
btrlkcrs themselves appear to have
lose in public support. Then they had
a clear case; now the public is unable
to perceive any adequate justification
for their course.
The right of an employer to discharge
for cause is solidly grounded In busi
ness necessity. The right of a. labor
union to challenge this right and to
demand, before one or more of its
members may bo dismissed, that n
public trial shall take place, is not s-o
clear. "When the manager of the ti ac
tion company agreed to submit to a
man like Bishop Hoban or one whom
he might designate the reasons why
the company dismissed the two em
ployes over whom the strike arose,
and further agreed that If the bishop
or his deputy foun'd those reasons
insufficient lie would pay the men
for the time lost, an overture was
made that went as far in the direc
tion of conciliation as any self-respecting
employer ought to be expected
to go If ho would retain the manage
ment of his business.
The calling of a strike at this time,
when Scranton Is just beginning to re
cover from the disastrous effects of a
series of strikes, would have been in
judicious even though the reasons for
It seemed ample. It must bo remem
bered that something is due to the
public, upon which the brunt of strike
lobues fulls. Our merchants were just
announcing their fall sales, hoping by
means of them to regain something of
the losses sustained through the dull
summer period and on account of pre
vious strikes. This strike deals them
a heavy blow and one they have not
merited. Our public schools are just
beginning their autumn uctivity and
this strike subjects -to Inconvenience
thousands of school children who use
the street cars In going to and from
school. All phases of business suffer
on account of this summary suspension
of rapid transit facilities; nml the case
ot-.tio strikers should bo Impregnable
and the justlco of it Instantly apparent
to warrant such a wholesale public In
jury. "Wo cannot see that the warrant is
Bufncfant, We are confident that the
publlo does not so regard it. This be
ing true, the strike cannot succeed and
for the strikers to persist In it would
be manifestly unwise.
Thn proposition to call tho Philippine
Islands the McKlnlcy islands is one to
come from the people of thoso Islands
before?" It can receive consideration by
the American congress.
)Vo note with pleasure tho fact that
ill the newspapers of this city are sat
isfied with tho telegraphic news ser
vico which they recejye. This la a
consummation devoutly' to bo wished.
For oifrselvca wo are more than sutis
fled. The Trlbuno hua had offers to
tako the Publishers Press servlco and
also tho news report of tho Laffan
News bureau. In each case tho price
asked was below that which wo are
paying for, membership In tho Asso
ciated Prebs. Wo adhered to the lat
ter, because It Is the ono news associa
tion In existence wh'ch.la Interna
tional In scope, which has members In
all! tho vlarge cities, which has the
largest resources, the greatest number
of correspondents, tho best organiza
tion niid most thoroughly possesses tho
confidence of the leading public, Wo
felt that otir prtltoiis were entitled to
the best and they tiro getting It. When
the Associated Press censes to ho tho
best organization of Is class Tho Trib
une will cense to belong to It but will
withdraw legally nml In full compli
ance with contract conditions. Hap
pily we have no expectation Hint the
necessity for a change will arise.
Having learned that President
Itoosevclt will "putHtio the policy of
non-intervention," Paul Kruger will
not send a Hoot' envoy hither. A good
place to send It would bo to South
Africa, whore tho lighting Boors need
all the help tlioy can got.
The Schley Court of Inquiry.
IT IS NOTAIJIaK that tho news
papcrH which for nearly throe
years have boon eulogizing Hear
Admiral Schley as tfo hero of
Santiago and hurling all kinds of mis
representation and Inncuudo at tho
navy department because of Its al
leged partiality for Hear Admiral
Sampson, aie now trying to relievo the
court of Inquiry at Washington of tho
necessity of returning n verdict upon
tho evidence produced before it.
In their minds, there wns n whole
sale eonspltiicy to "do" Schley and It
Included not only the naval officers lit
the department at Washington but
likewise a majority of tho naval offi
cers In command of the warships en
gaged In the. Santiago sea campulc,n.
McCnlla, Wise, Jewell, "Fighting Hob"
Kvans, Miller, Schroedor and a dozen
more gallant commanders of different
ships must all bo besmirched by the
partisans! of Schley, In order to save
their hero's face. Already the Schley
prebs is preparing to dlserecj.it the find
ings of the court of Inquiry, although
tho rulings of that court have uniform
ly been favmablo to the applicant and
In a number of instances manifestly
unfavorable to the side which has
charged Schley with reprehensible con
duct. Almost certainly tho return by
the court of an opinion sustaining the
department In Its official censure of
Schley will be tho signal for a demand
by Schley's partisans for an investiga
tion by congress.
We confess that wo cannot under
stand all this. Why should there bo
so dotcrmlnu-J an attempt to load upon
Schley honors beyond thosse already
accorded to him by the department;
and why so widespread a wish to take
from Admiral Sampson credit justly
his due? It will be remembered that
tho navy department named Schley for
promotion In spite of tho unsatisfac
tory nature of much of bis work prior
to tho destruction of Ccrvera's fleet.
It generously overlooked what it might
have made the basis of a court mar
tial. It could not falsify the records,
which showed wherein Schley had dis
appointed its expectations, but it ac
cepted i he final victory, to which
Schley, along with many hundred
others, contributed, as constituting not
only an atonement for his earlier
shortcomings, but also as warranting
his nomination for an advanced grade.
It agreed with Captain McCalla, that
there was glory enough to go round.
But because it did not name Schley,
who had shown disobedience, vacilla
tion and conspicuous Indecision, over
Sampson, the commander-in-chief,
upon whose shoulders had rested the
long and heavy responsibility of tho
most important naval command ever
entrusted to a naval officer, a com
mand which he had fulfilled with pa
tient, firm nnd steady ability, planning
every detail so carefully that from tho
moment Cot vera was located the
Spaniards never bad a chance to es
cape; because the navy department
would not subordinate and humiliate
its tested success to please tho vanity
of a man whose lucky participation in
the battle of July 3 alone saved him
from court martial for gross derelic
tion, mountains of mud have been
hurled at it and at Sampson, nnd the
whole bunch of Santiago nominations
was defeated for confirmation, leaving
every participant, from Sampson
down, without reward.
We trust tho public is reading tho
testimony in this case. We are print
ing it in full and It should be read ns
a matter of justice.
Tammany will tonight hold a con
vention to name Its candidate for
mayor, yet nobody excepting Croker
and perchance a fow Intimates knows
who ho will be. The D.OOO.OOO people
most concerned are absolutely in the
dark and apparently have no voice.
As to Personal Registration.
TH13 UNION committee for
tho promotion or ballot re
form and the merit system
in Pennsylvania continues
to favor us with literature soliciting
fcupport for the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the legislature to
enact laws requiring the personal reg
istration of voters, It takes pains to
assure us that this amendment Is not
opposed by tliu Republican organiza
tion, but on tho contrary Is favored
by many of the men prominent among
the stalwarts,
This Is true; there la no factional
complexion to tho matter, Yot wo do
not find anything In tho amendment
to call for enthusiasm. It is proper
that tho legislature should liavo tho
power to enact a registration law It
It wishes so to do; and for that rea
son alone wo support the amendment,
which confers that power, leaving with
tho legislature tho option af Its use,
But at the same time wo oppose the
registration Idea as useless and an
noying; and trust that the leglslutuic,
If empowered, will not use its power,
Those who advocnto personal regis
tration suy It will purify the ballot
but experience does pot sustain that
hope. There Is personal registra
tion law in New York city, yet Tam
muny has usually little difficulty in
stuffing the ballot boxes whenever and
to whatever extent It deems necessary.
There is personal registration In Troy,
N, Y., and the murder of Hobert llosa
by Bat Shea was a consequence ot an
attempt to head off a gang of repeat
ers that regularly at every Important
election tibcd to go from poll to poll,
voting from dawn to dark.
Personal registration imposes no
check upon fraud where the Intent
tn defraud exists and lino tho support
of those hi control of tho election ma
chinery. Fraud Is Independent of reg
istration and must he attacked by olh
or means. Registration simply annoys
a class of citizens who usually forgot
to register, thereby liicrenalng the ma
jority of tho professionals, who regis
ter as tlioy vote, early and pomctlmcs
often.
Pass the amendment If you want to,
but don't think that It will work any
change In hunmn nature. If fraud Is
to bo stopped, thoro are laws enough
now; but no law wilt enforce Itself.

Wllllaiu C. Whitney, who has Jtiflt
withdrawn his racing horses from
the Kngllsh turf, denies that ho Is
aggrieved over discourteous treatment
abroad. On tho contrary, ho says ho
has received nothing but courtesy nnd
fair treatment on tho other side. Ho Is
bringing hl hmscs homo because ho
thinks the time Is ripe to elevate tho
American turf. It certainly needs ele
vating In many places.

A Classic.
OXK OF THK finest tributes to
tho martyr-president that wo
have seen was spoken in
Plymouth church, Utlca, last
Sunday evening by Congressman James
S. Sherman, who spoko from a long
and Intimate acquaintance with Mr.
McKlnlcy. It Is a classic worthy of
preservation In every scrap-book. Mr.
Sherman said:
Only a brief month ago, William McKlnlcy was
the most beloed and, without cxawrallon, the
pic.'ilcst tiller on the face of the earth. Tonlsht
he Ins Liken bis place as the mn-t conspicuous
flume in recent history. It has been paid that
"! me nio bora pre.il, some ncliicie Rrealnc'is
npd some bice Ricalnoss thru-t upon them."
V. illlam McKlnlcy was born with a mind, a
In .nt and a oul, clear, biitht and pine. Ho
initiated the clfls (!od bad clipn hint, fco tliat
by nc-hlcipincnt iip was ptpparpd io accept the
icpon.slMtlcs nml cares which his fellow men
trrtbt upon him and discharged them In a way
til n redounded to the happiness of the people
am! tho adiancemciit of the power and influence
of liis country, and which has jjhen bis mine a
pk.fC hiRh in the temple of fame. The span of
h's life was biief, ami jot brief as it was, few
men bine cer accomplUhnl to much for the
slcrv of (,'od and the Rood of mankind. At
1.1 he was n Sunday school tcicher; nt 17, a
i-rlcllcr; ut '.'n, an ofllcer in Hie creat army
that battled in a righteous came and won the
Mctory which makes it po-slble for us to be
I.pip tonight under these Mais and Ptripes; at
Ti he was an nfllci.il; at "1 a rcprcentatiic In
ccnsicss; at 41, the leader on the floor of the
Riealest lcsi-lalio body in the world; at 47,
Hip governor of the fourth Riealest flale in this
pre .if ui'inu and at 33, the chief executive of this
mighty republic.
In all which, by the cracc of bis fellow men,
t! Illloi, he showed fidelity, industry, couraRC,
ftMiiiin-, cpilck compichonsinn, Minify, dignity,
diicilncss, of purpose and the loftiest patiioli-m.
Of all the men l have ever known lie hid the
Rtcatcsl lncntil equipment, was the best bal
aiccci. Ills entire character was well loundcd
out, was without inequalities. It wis a pcifccl
lit, ion of Rood qualities none hone out moip
prnu.ir.enlly than the olheis. He had none of
I no littlenesses of other men. In his makeup be
moip nearly ipscmblcd (Jpoirc WasbiiiKlon, it
Kou.s to me, than any other in this land. None
oilier- in our histmy had all nf his roocI ehaiai-tcii.lic-.
Some of their strong points lie pos-c.s-cd;
Home of hU MroiiR points they lacked,
ncnjamiii Harrison, ill intellectual charac lens
tic, was one of tho Ricatovt men nf modern
tines, but he laiked the waiin-hcartcd kind
ness of disposition, suavity of manner and judg
ment nf Willi mi MiKlnley. Ill line bail a most
(banning pnsonalitv vv is 'lionc ,incl able, but
was aggressive at times unncccssaiiiy so, and
impulsive. Mi. McKlnlcy was never impulsive
in r in duly agmc.ssivc. He was nlvvajs (outwd
itijr iroclii.itioii. lie iliffeipil widely from lli.it
Iran for whom I have alvvavs bad, as ,iou know,
i warm nfTcilion, Mi. lircd. Mr. Heed is not
suave, docs not attempt to avoid antagonism,
but r.ifhci enjoys contiovcrsv. Mr. McKlnlcy
Mijnvoi! nothing hoichtiiig on conlinvcisv. it
sp'-ms to lne, after ten jcais of intimate n-o-c
lt'on with this gic.it cliiraelir ami fifteen

over in ni.v mind all 1 hive mcu of him in tiie

not tec bow I would, if 1 could, hive r hanged
him in any p tabular. I know of no other
HMD ot whom I inubl say tint,
Ciencral Palmn Is to bo unopposed
for fit st president of Cuba. The op
position will doubtless come thickly
enough after his election.
Naturally Governor Dole of Hawaii

enemies.
Chance Origin of

l'rom Iho Xcvv VoiK Sun.
T HUM! Alii! perhaps moie Concord crapes
giovvn in this countiy than all oilier va
rieties of native fjapes combined. Thcie
arc many localities when- ollui vaiictir sue
scaiicly known, but there is not a nook or cor
ner of the laud where the Cuncoul is not found,
and It appeals abundantly even in the vine) irds
of Trance, Years and jcars ago lluraic (iieelcy
gave tho Coniurd the name nf "tho people'ii
giape," and lu -pile of Hie fact that .since its
dlscoveiy nearly elxly jcarn ago many other -icllcnt
vailetics bavo been put upon the miikct
Hie icllablc old Concord has ever uiiiiitaincd its
lead. A icuurkable tiling In the histmy of tins
eiapc is that tho original vine the paient of all
the thousands and tliousinds of aires of Coit

Ccniinid vines tli.it cover tho arbnii, and trellises

gciiei.it advancement of viiicultuie as a great
cemmercial Imiustiy than any other giapo.
That patilanh vino is mi the old Kpliraim Hull
place, , mile from Comoid, clo.-o by the hMoiic
lioiuu of Nathaniel Haw limine,
o
II Is doubtful if even among vinvardUU who
b.ivo inadu foilutic out of the Concord giipo
them aio miuy who know huvv the popular and
piotitablo grape oiiginatrd. It was the product
of a ibiinio wild Rrapo vine. More than lty
.ve.irs ago llphralm W, Dull, an invalid, removed
fiom liottou to Comoid for tho benefit of his
health. His brother then lived in the Ha.v
thoino liuu.se, and Kpliraim bought tho (ottago
and grounds near by. He bad borne knowledge
of giapes and grape growing' and planted a num
ber of Chaiiicla-i and black Hanthiirif vinco
both foreign varieties and the native Isabella,
but tlia Eca&ou was bo short that it was only
witli the gieatcst caro and attention that he me
reeded in getting ripe grapes from them. Ha
tried other varieties in Ids experiments in railing
a table giape nucceu-full.i, but none could with
ttatul tho lata spring and caily autumn fiooti
nt that locality, He then conceived the idea of
producing u grape from Red.
o
A neighbor of Hull's had two sous who were
constantly in tho woods or licliti hunting ami
fbliing, In the fall of IS 10 they came home
with a quantity ol wild grapes, which they taid
grew on a vice in a piecn ot woods near the Con
cord tivir, They bhowed Hull wbcio tho vino
was, but the grapes then upon it were not Just
Id the condition be deslied (or bis experiment.
Not until the fall of ISM did they bear and
ripen in that condition, and that fall, early In
October, Hull planted a number of tho grapes
whole. They wcro Jaige, sweet grapes, tawny
in color and with a "foiy" alter taste. They
were unlike any wild grapes hu had ever been,
and there ucio no others like them anywhere
in tho vicinity. The seedling vines that came
up from the grapes vvue transplanted and cared
for until 131'J without result, but in that J ear,
on Sept. 10, Mr. Dull picked a large bunch ol
black grapes from one of Iheni the drtt bunch
of Concords that ever grew. Delicious as the
gispes wcie, he continued the cultivation of
the vines until 161 J bcfeic bo (.oiuldcixd that
the fruit had come to a bUW ol perfection, ami
In that fr lie placed a basket of Ihfni on ex
hibition Willi lhe Mas-achiisells Horticultural -elely,
with the result thai an Instant demand
for cuttings from bis lne roe.
o
Hie creating of the Concord grape was lhe
first successful use ol lhe need of lhe wild gripe
In obtaining a new variety ol tabla grapes. The
name Concord was given to this grape by Mr.
Mull. Tho (-rape llsclf was not put on the mar.
Icct mil II ISM, it has been there ever linen with
x constantly Increasing demand lor it. Millions
of dollars hate been made from Its sale tnd tho
sale of tho vlncn. tin discoverer died a few
irars ago at the age of nearly 00 tnd poor.
