S THE YKARs'pnss, tlitH flay j gains In solemnity. The rcii JL. Jk cration of veterans is meltiliK away but dally their monu ment, thfl nation saved and expanded, jrrows in usefulness and In the world's esteem. Another generation of fifteen soldiers worthy sons of veteran sires Joins In today's pathetic commemora tion, themselves graduates of battle, war-taught in liberty's cause. And so the closing ranks recruit, and so will history repeat. None can visit the honored graves today without feeling u new measure of gratitude and experiencing a larger baptism of patriotism, Unexpected frultnge lias come from the seed or heroes buried. Not alone has the na tion been suved from disunion .but, re united, unified, vlvilled, it Is teaching in distant isles the lesson of liberty under regulated law and laying founda tions for new empires dedicated lo the welfare of the governed. Gould those who fell on southern battlefields awaken to sense in this new atmosphere the vast proportions of their continued work and realize the progress born of their ttlals and tra vail, who can doubt that gladly would they resume the vestments ot the sep ulchre, willing martyrs to- Immunity's grain? These men died for country. AVe, their sons, must live for It. They met their duty in war's rude shock and no bly they performed It. To do in peace and quiet, often in solitude, the duties of the hour fakes courage of it differ ent stamp; but we must do it. Had the legions of Sherman. .Meade and ui-itni wavereu m tnelr hour of test, the problems' of today would not be as they are; but they did not fail. V must respect and emulate their exam ple. In civic life, in varied forms, tests no less exacting are continually arising. See that they, too, find the citizenship prepared. It Is well that an early decision from the courts should be hud as to the right nf county treasurers to withhold money collected In behalf of cities. Kroni u lay standpoint the law can lie con strued two ways at present. Let the court say which way is the right way. Probably Misquoted. npHH A8SKRTION credited to I John .Mitchell In a western I interview that the miners of the anthracite region uiv financially fortified for a six mouths' strike, having saved up their money for a year and a half with the, possibil ity of such a strike In view. Is prob ably u misquotation, it certainly docs not describe accurately the conditions In this portion of the coalfields., There may he 'instances In which mine workers are in shape to go mrougn a six-months' loss ot Income, without 'feeling a' pinch, but they are exceeding-' few.

More than most men, more than almost any man who could ho mentioned, this gentle, friendly citizen of Scranton represented the true Ameri can Idea". Strongly local in his attach ments, reaching not fur In his ambitions Into the great world, he Is still a type slgnlllcant, Indeed, of what has made this republic the mighty power It Is to day. Coming to our land from over the sea, he became one with his new coun try, while still the love for old Kngland throbbed warm in his breast. lie was not a malcontent, not an agi tator, not a man who thought he had a mission to reform the world. He simply looked for a foothold some where and found It here In the little new town In the new land. Here the object lesson is emphasized. He stayed. The foothold wils slight, but lie was earnest and strong and Industrious, and down through the many long years he lias remained, deepening, broadening the foundation which he laid In youth, and making it a pleasant place where multitudes could find, too, a. spot on which to stand. While others who started life at his side, roved restlessly upon the earth, seeking greater oppor tunities, he wrought on in tireless en ergy and grasping the little chances that lay in his way, made of them something' noble and fine and wonder ful. Always lie kept the simplicity of heart unit was his In the early days. While he cherished an honest pride or blood, which surely any man could be par doned for holding. It was marred by none of the meaner Instincts which have reflected on certain American types. Although a poor boy, he did not forget that lie was of gentle birth, and during his earlier struggles and on into the period of his success this conscious ness was probably a satisfaction to Jlr. Jermyn, as lie revived the former for tunes of his race and name. The coat-of-arms In the Hotel Jermyn was his own. and one whose history is an Illus trious one. ' He contributed marvelotisly to the upbuilding and the prosperity of the northern anthracite regions, and his name will live as long us Scrunton stands. jenerous of soul, honest In purpose, tender of heart, amid all' his great suc cess and power In the' financial world, it was In the circle of home that the most beautiful characteristics of this man's personality were revealed. There lie was adored beyond the love which is given to most mortals; there were thi real happiness and light of his life. ! tt K K II tt tt II It V K It It V If It V V V V V V It It It K V It V It It It K It It 1' it!

Our title to the islands is as perfect as was that of Spain after 400 years of un disputed possession. We will give their people better government, better schools, more civil and political rights, and a higher civilization and broader freedom than is possible for them In any other way. Oflt FLAG IS IN THK 'PHILIPPINES AND THKItK IT WILL REMAIN. The American ar my has taken up a. work of establish ing order and maintaining authority in the distant Philippines, and while we deplore and severely condemn any in stances of cruelty which may have oc curred, we remember that our soldiers are fighting a barbarous and treacher ous foe, who have often inflicted most Inhuman atrocities upon their prison ers. It is the nation's army, drawn from every section ot the country, knowing no creed, but fighting; the na tion's battles under the nation's Hag, and we resent with Indignation recent Democratic efforts to drag Its honor In the dust anil to cast reproach on Its fair name."

The Hooding of the mines woidd In lure the operators, the operatives and the public, and ft would help no one. The miners themselves, In order to conserve their own interests, should protect the mines from destruction, If for no other reason than that their destruction would de prive them of employment long after their disputes with their emplovers are settled, as eventually they must be. -The ruin or the mines would benefit no man and hurt hundreds or thousands of men. It would compel the shutting down of many mills, forges, furnaces, factories nnd Industrial works of all kinds tlirouglioiit the state, and It would fill the homes of worklngnien with distress, coal helng naturally one of the cheaper necessaries of life, and not. as It now artificially Is, a costly luxtirv.

It also means fewer strikes and more accident Insurance, 'slck-benuilts and night schools; more ffllelency, bettered moral and technical development, and less waving of (he red llag of envy, clahs prejudice! and artlllclal discontent. The plank on trusts was also to the point, "We recognise," It says, "tio necessity of co. operation In order to meet hew conditions In the Industrial world, and to compete, successfully for the world's markets; but all coiublna tlous that stifle competition, control prices, limit production, or unduly in crease profits or values, and especially when they raise lie prices of (he ne cessltlcs of life, are opposed to public policy and should be eprosr.ed with it Btrong hand."

Mont i'elee has no respect for scien tists. Candid Comment flbotif the Strike I From the Philadelphia Ledger. T IS TO the credit of the strikers that since tlie striKe began they have been, w.lth ram exceptions, quiet, or derly and law observing. The In stances of violence have been not only few, but comparatively Insignificant. It Is true that the operators have nut at tempted to operate their mines with uoii. su liters, but this latter condition Is one which cannot contiuuu If (lie enntendlng parties fall to end the strike by an iiiulc ahln si'ltleineul of their contention. 'Hie most serious outcome of the strike Is the older lo the engln s, llreiuen and pumpmen I" 'IMll their places on the :'cl of ,luiie, If the sti liters' demands arc nut then compiled with. Hhould the present guardians of the mines, the men whose work Is that of preventing their destruction by flood. abandon their posts on .Monday next. It win occur inevitably Hint the owners anil lessees of (he mines w use all means possible to save their piopeity from ruin. They will uudoubicdly en deavor to put other men In tho vacant places nf the strikers to prevent 1h destructlM' liimululloii or the mines. In this contingency lies the danger of violence and disorder, since, If the strik ers determine, thut tho positions they have vacated shall not be tilled bv others, and seek to make their deter, mluatliiu good by physical force, the fitiuulnu will be most gruve. The flood lug of the mines would not only entail vimt losses on tho operators, but It would Impose losocs, possibly as great, upon the operatives, It the mines are de slroyed the miners cannot work hi them, and to the extent of tho destruction their opportunity to work will lie lost, Kven If the mines bo only Injured hi part, pot intally destroyed, the miner, cannot labor In them until the ledlous and prolonged operation of clearing them of water cult be accomplished, llestdes that, t tit) destruction of prnpeity of such enormous value to the public, or vlo. leiiec In order to prevent Its destruction, would alleuato that popular sympathy from the strikers without which they cannot hope to succeed. Thus far in thu struggle tho miners huve behaved admirably. They have not resorted to overt afts,' They have simply asserted their unquestionable right In refuse lo work upon terms which they deem unsatisfactory, They Jiuvo been peaceable, orderly and law- alilcllng, Tills lino of conduct they ehould continue to follow, if they aban don It nnd refuse to permit the owners to save (ho mines from doitrutlou by preventing non-strikers from keeping tho pumps in operation, they will reiir Awaiting the Next Step. From the Xew York Tribune. The eoal strike has thus far been tin marked with violence. It lias been con ducted on both sides In a temperate and orderly manner. The miners have re frained from working, but hnve not In terfered with such pumping and engi neering wmk as Is necessary to keep the mines In order, and the operators, on their side, have been content to let the nilnc- stand. Idle without trying to get men to till the places of the strikers. Now. however, n new step Is contem plated, which must be regarded with ap prehension as containing tho potential menace, of a shock which might destroy the unstable equilibrium of peaco In the mining region and precipitate grave dis orders. The engineers, pumpmen and firemen propose to go on strike on Mon day next unless their demands are granted. That ylll' mean one of two things. Klther the operators will till their places and so keep the pumps go ing, or the mines will be- flooded and damaged to- the extent of many millions of dollars. The latter would be a deplorable tiling; the former would Involve! a grave men ace to tlie peace. Kor it is pretty well understood thai the strikers would en deavor with physical force to prevent the lining of their places at the engines and pumps. They realize that In aban doning the pumps they are playing their strongest card. The operators do not iiiiucl, but rather welcome, mere suspen sion of coal production. They can stand that a good deal longer than the miners can. But a menace 'of injury to nnd even destruction of the mines themselves Is a very different matter. We may be sure they will not quietly acquiesce in thai, but will to the utmost or their ability seek to preserve their property from damage. In doing so, they will be en titled to tho sympathy of all right think ing men and to the support Of the offi cers of the law. For while men have a perfect right to sit ike that Is, quit work ror cuusn or for no cause, they have no shadow of right to destroy or to damage the prop erty of their former employer's. Morally there Is no distinction between actually destroying it and preventing others from preserving It from destruction. The man who forcibly prevents tiremen from extinguishing a lire is morally as guilty of arson as though he hlnwelf kindled tlie lire. So men who should forcibly prevent the manning of the engines and pumps in the mines would be guilty of flooding and destroying the 'mines. Just as much as though they with their own haiidx turned rivers Into them. It is not dltlleiilt lo Imagine what would be done in case a man's housn caught lire and Ills striking servants violently prevented Urn firemen from o.sllngulMiIng the Humes. We shall see next week If such an emergency Is lo arise in the eoal mines, .mid. If so. whut will be done about il. The best Wish the friends or the striker can make after one for tlie ending of tho strike-is that they may keep the pence and respect the right of other men to work as much as they demand respect for their own right no't lo work.
