Election day, Nov. 1.
The s-oldlers at Shenandoah have been
very patient with the elements that
seem tn ileslrc illsorrler. The serving of
notice that this iiallcnce Is not weak
ness was timely ami In the Interest of
peace.
Labor Day Reflections.
. LL DIX'EXT men are laboring
men and therefore should be
JL jL in sympathy, or.e with an
other. Each group of work
err with gpevi.il common Interests acts
within Its right and generally wisely.
In combining for the advancement of
those mutual Interests. Our day is one
of co-operation: and labor, which is the
Inundation of prosperity, and morality
a:' well, has no occasion to apologize
for organizing-. Hut things which are
wrong- when attempted by an Individ
ual do not become right when prac
ticed by a crowd. Just an each work
man has the right to better his per
sonal lot in life when he can do s-o
without working an Injustice upon
others, so, subject to the same restric
tions, has the union the right to agitate
for reforms beneficial to its member
ship; and in each case the existence
of the right carries with it the duty.
He who will not provide for his own
family, the Scripture tells us, Is worse
than an Infidel; and the duty of making
good provision Includes the duty to
join with others lawfully for a com
non beneficent end.
But a union is no more infallible than
Is an individual. It can do wrong as
easily as It can do light, and if the
good men In it are not careful it can
do wrong more easily. No Individual
has a right to ay to another who Is
not in his employ and not voluntarily
under his guidance where he shall or
shall not work or how much he shall
he willing to take for his work. "When
one Individual undertaker, to oxerciFO
this authority over another without
warrant, we call it dictation and our
senfc of Justice and fair play condemns
It and it Is soon done away with. Now,
if. an Individual may not dictate to
another without his consent, so a
union may not, except by virtue of
fcrce alone. And when force trios to
do In a. free country what the common
instinct pronounces wrong, It generally
encounters an opposing force which Is
too much for It.
It Is h.tld by those who especially
FpeaU for the mine workers now on
Ftrlke that there Is no Intent among
them to compel men to belong to the
union, and no purpose to go beyond the
law, either while striking or while
working. As a statement of what
should be, this is irreproachable, and
It Is. the duty of the laboring sentiment
cf our valley to make It true In fact.
In the lest thtce years we have had a
great deal of turmoil. The present
strike .should he the last for many a
t'aj. But a condltlun of peace cannot
be realized except upon a basis of fair
dealing between man and man. The
employer must he fair to the employed.
The employe must bo fair to his em
ployer. And, Just as necessarily, tho
member of a labor union must be fair
to the worker who exercises his moral
and legal light not to belong to tho
union. A good union permanently
benefitting its members will survive
nny attacks that employers may make
upon It and solve tho non-union prob
lem by absorption; but one which has
to tit recruited through machination
end pressure unci held together by fnn
inlntf of. prejudice utul systematic In
timidation Is as sure to go to pieces In
the lorjg run as water is sure to find Its
Itvel, Z
No ipan who looks without prejudice
upon the situation today presented In
the anthracite coal fields can fall to be
Impressed with tho solidarity with
which "practically tho entire number of
workers In the anthracite Industry, at
a given signal, laid down their tools
oiul entered upon the foreseen priva
tions qf n Indefinite strike. Nor have
the resolution with which this combat
hns been waned by tho men and the
exceptional good order maintained for
tho greuter part by the English-speak-In
element among them been lost
upon iljose -who luwe watched from
nfnr, liTho sincerity of labor unionism
nnd th loyalty of Its following liuve
been denionstruteu even to those who
do not yet concede that the game Is
worth. the powder, But this admlrablo
ImprtEBlon wrought upon publlo opin
ion cannot survive the licensing of
lawlessness amongst camp followers
and sympathisers; hence It is the fore
most concern of the labor hosts on
this, their speclcl hollduy, that good or
der shall be maintained, come whfit
may and that In contending for what
they believe to bo their own right",
they shall not lose eight of the equally
precious rights of others.
Sixteen weeks of strike gone nnd no
sign of settlement In sight, Does It
pay?
- I
Mow Massachusetts Does It.
UPON n number of occasions
timing his tllscUFslon of the
trust problem the president
has spoltcn with conspicuous
approval of the corporation laws of
Massachusetts, Imllcntlng that It they
were In force In nil of our states there
would be little rail for additional legis
lation upon this subject. The Philadel
phia Press hns performed an educa
tional service In printing nn nbstrnct
of them.
Substantially the laws of Massachu
setts In regulation of corporations pro
vide that the entire capital stock must
he paid In before business ian begin.
New Issues of stock ennnot be divided
among stockholders or sold nt nn arbi
trary price, but must be sold at auction
to the highest bidder or at a. price to be
fixed by a state commission. Directors
nre made lloble personally for the debts
of the corporation In excess of the capi
tal; also for making or consenting to n
dividend when the corporation Is, or Is
thereby rendered, Insolvent to the ex
tent of tho dividend, and for debts con
tracted between the time of making or
assenting to a loan to ti stockholder
and Its repayment. The directors nnd
the treasurer are also llnble for sign
ing nny slntcment required by law as
to the value of property received in
payment for capital stock when the
valuation is not fair, for signing nny
certificate required by lawknowing it
to be false, nnd for debts contracted
before the original capital was paid In
and certificate of payment filed. Every
corporation Is required to file annually
with tho secretary of state a statement
of Its condition showing Its assets and
liabilities, together with a list of Us
stockholders, giving the number of
shares held by each. Failure to file
such a certificate for two successive
years Is ground for dissolution.
It will, we think, be apparent from
this abstract that the president's ad
miration for tho Bay state way of safe
guarding public Interests In Incorpor
ations of capital and enterprise is justi
fied. The regulations present no fea
ture to which honest men wishing to
do nn honest business could reasonably
object. The requirements of responsi
bility and publicity do not exceed fair
ness. If it were In the power of con
gress without amendment of the fed
eral constitution to take over from the
various states the regulation of cor
porations, we can see no better model
for a national act than the Massachu
setts law. If It were on tho statute
books of every state, corporations cre
ated out of wind by promote! s who look
to gudgeons to vitalize their excessive
stock Issues through a process of un
loading only a little different from
highway robbery Lbuld not be floated
with ease In times of speculation, and
widows and orphans would not have so
much reason as at present to regret
their trust In mankind.
While no act of assembly or congress
can keep a fool and his money together,
tho power which gives legal existence
to a corporation should be charged with
the responsibility of the supervision of
its offspring and should undertake to
lay out for Its creature a straight and
narrow way.
And still the rumble of an Irresisti
ble revolution In favor of Paulson falls
to connect "with expectant Democratic
eardrums.

On these magnificent results, wo can
Justly say with Cicero, "Of all pursuits
from which profit accrues, nothing Is
superior to agriculture, nothing more
productive, nothing more enjoyable,
nothing more worthy of a freeman."
If wo continue to conduct our na
tional affairs on sound economic lines
till 1010, the progress then shown will
be fnr greater than the present almost
Incredible ten years' gain of seven
thousand, six hundred and elghty-nlno
millions of gold dollars,
The report from Chicago that the
proposed merger of packing house In
terests hns been abandoned In conse
quence of notice from tho president
that If It went through he would direct
nn attack upon It with nil the resources
of the government Is credible. By this
time the mnnagers of the meat trust
know that Theodore Roosevelt Is a man
of his word.
Rarely have the mutations of politics
been more vividly Illustrated than In
the case of General Alger, who, In ns
plting to succeed the late Senator Mc
Millan, finds It expedient to sound the
praises of Theodore Roosevelt, the man
whose round robin once gave Alger
such n spasm. 1
Another exceptionally cordial mes
sage of good will to the American gov
ernment nnd people has been received
from the empress downger of China.
This astute old lady, unlike some per
sons who have wielded great power, Is
evidently able to gain wisdom from
experience.
In addition to paying 9300,000 more
dividends this year than last, the
Southern Railway company pocketed
more than half n million Increase in
net earnings, which will explain why
the profession of calamity howling Is
at a discount In the South just now.
m
The newspapers are hardly fair to
President Schwab of the steel trust In
pursuing him on his sick leave vaca
tion, so as to chronicle the minute de
tails of his daily doings. We doubt
that public interest warrants the ex
penditure. Spokane's chief of police has just been
held up and robbed by a highwayman,
but the joke has been on Scranton since
the time that our police safe was
cracked and looted In the police head
quarters. '
Professor Hobson, Oxford lecturer on
economics, has arranged to give nine
months to the study of American poll
tics, the trust problem and tho negro
question. He will be kept busy.
Comparative SNidy
ol OUp Exports
Special Corespondence.
Washington, Aug. 31.
THE DETAILS of tho July exports
have Just been made public by tho
treasury bureau of statistics. They
s.how that the exportation of man
uiactuies Is greater than in July of last
year and forms nn unusually largo per
centage of the total exports. This Is due
to the fact that the very small exporta
tlons of corn and other cereals lmvo made
the total of July exports unusually small,
though a careful examination of the do
tails of the month's exportation of man
ufactures shows that in most cases they
exceeded those of tho corresponding
month of last year. Importations of
manufacturers' materials continue to
form the chief feature of the Increasing
Imports. The total importation of man
ufacturers' materials for the seven
months ending with July is $232,305,039,
against J.'J) ,337,707 in tho corresponding
months of last year, while tho total ex
portation of manufactures Is $213,730,032,
against $2JU,093,429 In the corresponding
months of last year.
The tables which follow show the de
tailed statements of Imports and exports
for the month of July, 1002, compaied
with July of the preceding year:

THE SONG OF LABOR.

Conquer tho earth nnd subdue It!
God's word to tho pilmal man
Thrilled through his spirit and drew It
Up to tlio answer: "I can!"
Mandate and volco replying
Hletit In una choral tone;
A song that bounds on undying
From earth unto Haven's high throne;
Work! for tho vision rises
Of what conquered earth shall be,
And of higher and greater empr.'Jm
As wo march to victory!
Woik! for by labor only
Shall tho wealth of earth be found,
Of tho field and forest lonely,
Wealth stored In the uudei ground.
On through uncounted ages,
Tolling with hund nnd hruln,
Man has wrought for the promised wages
And over soars up the strain;
Work! for the vision lists
Of what conquered earth shall be,
And of higher and greater emprises
As we march to victory!
Qloiles of empires olden,
Marvels of modern years,
Wonders ns yet untolden
Waiting now centuries' Beets;
All that man joys In winning
Of the secrets, hidden deep
For his search from earth's beginning,
Leaves moro beyond to reap,
Work! for tho vision ilses
Of wiuit conquered earth shall be,
And of higher and greater empiisea "
As wo march to victory!

of Human Nafdre
Gough's Quick Wit.
An effort of o'no of John B. Cough's
tours of tho west was to arouso his con
verts to a political movement In favor of
prohibition, nnd in several stntcs tho poli
ticians began to give consideration to tho
cry. Tho distillers nnd liquor dealers
nro said to have been so frightened that
they employed men to follow the lecturer,
sit nmong the audience and endeavor to
confound him with questions. Ho had
worked a Topoka (Kan.) audience up to
n line pitch of excitement and In his ef
fective manner cried:
"Temperance! Temperance! Temper
nncol It will tnoiui money In your pocket,
clothes on your back, happiness In your
homo nnd Cod In your heart!"
Tip leaped one of the paid Interrupters
nnd shouted to the audience:
"Money In your pockets! Why, fellow
citizens, follow this mnn's Ideas and
we'll bo all In the poorhouse! Think of
tho fields of tnsseted corn that stretch on
every side I Whisky Is mndo from corn,
We sell millions of dollnrs' worth of corn
to tho whisky makers. Stop tho manu
facture of whisky, nnd wlint'il wo do?"
Then, turning to anugb, he went on:
"You, Mr. Smarty what'll wo do?
Tell us, It prohibition comes, what'll we
do with our corn?"
"Raise morn hogs, my friend," replied
Gough without a second's hesitation
"ralso more hogs!" Philadelphia Times.
Duration of Eternity.
The Into Jnmes B. Roberts used to say
that one of tho most effective publlo
speakers he over listened to was nn ex
actor who turned preacher and evangel
ist, nnd conducted Independent and unde
nominational revival meetings In sheer
fervor of religious enthusiasm, says tho
Philadelphia Times. And then Mr. Rob
erts would quote, with fine regard for tho
phrasing, this pnssngc from a sermon ho
onco heard tho itinerant preacher deliver
In n western mining community:
"If you' men kept away from rum nnd
cards long enough to let. your brains set
tle, and then npplled tho brains in nn en
deavor to realize what eternity means,
you might hesltnto to plunge unprepared
Into tho damnation of the hereattcr!
Eternity! E-tcr-nl-teo!! Think of spend
ing It In punishment by fire! think!!
Why, sinners. If n sparrow were to take
a drop In Its beak from tho Atlantic
ocean, nnd hop ncross this' continent at
the rate of ono hop per day and place
the drop In the Pacific, and wore it to
hop back at the same rate, nnd tako an
other drop, and como again to tho Pacific,
and were to go on tbnt way until tho
waters of the Atlantic had become the
waters of the Pacific why. men of sin
nnd shame, It would not yet bo sun-up In
liell!"
Two Words for Kittredge.
United Stntcs Senator Kittredge, of
South Dakota, takes pride in his ability
to resist the wiles of newspaper report
ers. Long ago Senator Hnnim remarked
this trait of the taciturn Dakota states
man and frequently took delight in send
ing newspaper men to interview him.
On one of these occasions a metropoli
tan reporter, nfter plying Senator Kitt
redge with questions to which he re
ceived only crisp answers of "Yes" or
"No." finally asked:
"What's tho largest city In South Da
kota?" "Sioux Falls," came tho unexpected re
ply. At once the reporter walked to Sena
tor Hanna, who was sitting near by, and
remarked:
"I've got a good beat on all the other
boys."
"How's that?" inquired Mr. Hanna, in
undisguised surprise.
"Why," answered tho reporter, "after
working for half nn hour trying to teach
that South Dakota mummy to talk, 'I've
actually added the words 'Sioux Falls' to
his vocabulary." Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
Puzzled as to Gender.
That environment has a great influence
over the minds of children when it comes
to the assimilation of knowledge, is ever
and anon brought to the fore. An illus
tration of this was given tho other day
by a bright boy pupil at tho Mary DI33
ton public school, at Tacony, where near
ly all the residents nro versed in farming.
A flag raising was held at tho school
house, several days ago, and nfter tho
banner had been flung to tho brcezo an
exhibition was held of the drawlncs and
work of tho pupils during tho past year.
A teacher told this story of ono of her
little hoy pupils: She had recited to tho
class tho story of the landing of tho Pil
grims, nnd as the children had been tak
ing up tho work, she requested each schol
ar to try and draw from tho Imgunlatlon
a picture of tho Plymouth rock. Then It
was that tho llttlo fellow got up and
raised his hand.
"Well, Willie, what Is it?" asked tho
teacher.
"Please, ma'am, do you want n hen or
a rooster drawn?" camo the unexpected
reply. Philadelphia Telegraph.
Who Would Do the Fighting.
As Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
stood reviewing tho Memorial day parade
In Washington n reporter whoso Impres
sions of tho man had been gained at ban
quets where the commnndor of tho army
wore ovenlng dress was so struck by tho
imposing appearanco of tho general ns
to venture a remark ns to how his uni
form changed him from a dapper elder
ly gentleman to a formidable warrior.
"Which Illustrates," replied the general,
"that If clothes do not mako tho mun, tho
uniform goes a long way toward making
the officer.
"And this reminds me," he added, "of
an experience out west, when I was a
colonel. I had put a lot of recruits In
their first uniforms, nnd told them thnt
I expected every ono of them to honor his
uniform by behaving like a major gen
eral, " 'An' who'd do th' flghtln', thin?" In
quired one of tho recruits, who had not
yet learned to listen to his superiors In

THE WAGE EARNER'S BULWARK
Editor of Tho Trlbuno
Sir; How disastrous would havo boen
tho effect on the stock market, had tho
Illness nnd possible resignation of tho
president of tho glgnntio steel corpora
tion been announced In Democratic tlmos.
As it Is, tho market was not affected by
one-eighth of ono per cent. Tho Domo
ciatlu papers announce this, nnd it Is all
the endorsement needed of Republicans
trade policies.
A protective tariff makes business In
terests Independent and sclf-rellunt. It Is
an anchor to windwatd In every time of
stress or storm. It Is u pedestal of
hewn grunlte on which tho loftiest super
structure can be safely built. It is n,
bank, on w)ioso reserve . funds wo can
draw in times of need. It Is a tower of
strength, an Imprcgnablo tower, In a
country possessing Biicn Immense and di
versified natuial resources, as does tho
United States.
The friends of the tarliT, the Republican
party, are best fitted to attend to Its
ailments, If at any time It should be nec
essary, There Is no need to cnll In un
successful physicians of another faith
and practice, ynen that course was
adopted in former years, tho patient died.
Wo ate not called upon to usnlu ptovide
for tho burial of our business Interests.
We lomember the years of mourning, J893
1890, nnd tho joy with which, on that
glud day In November, lb90, wo throw oft
our habiliments of woe, at the trumpet
call of William McKlnley. Then began
our mu re h of solid prosperity, which will
contluuo Just so long as wo remain true
to ourselves, o'ur party and our business
Interests.
