fo near election?
False Prophets.
STRUCK Is n popular nfllictlon.
Within thi nuliiis of lis ac
C. jk. tlvlty evrrybotly suffers, those
engaged In it nr. well ns those
who arc merely passive, helpless on
lookers of the struggle. There are few
raloom'ns features in a strike. Ita po
tential gain. If any, Is sharply dis
counted by its Immediate loss. Its in
trinsic, inevitable accompaniments are
waste, rancor and demoralization.
What cannot he alleviated must In
the nature of things he borne. In the
meantime It is wise to accept the dis
pensation of the strike as philosophic
ally as we can. There Is one feature of
the present situation which is a cal
lous aggravation of nil Its other mis
fortunes. There are few strikes on
record In which the Issues have been
more clearly set forth, In which there
lias been less need for newspaper Inter
pretation, less justification for journal
istic vaporing and Ignorant declama
tion. Those who are parties to the
struggle know pach other and under
stand each other. They have met and
discussed the matter In dispute, and
have definitely decided to fight them
out to the bitter end. This strike will
not last forever, even if those who
. liave the misfortune to he engaged In
It are all dead before the end of It.
There Is always consolation In knowing
the truth about things, even the un
palatable truth.
Every day lying reports are circu
lated from New York which It is nec
essary for President Mitchell on the
one hand or for the operators on the
other to contradict and refute. John
J'lerpont Morgan has had four months
in which to Intervene In this strike if
he had the mind to do so. He lias
shown no disposition In that direction
and Mr. Mitchell lias given no encour
agement to the striker's or the public
ftencrally to suppose that ho would. If
Morgan remains an hour later In his
office than usual forthwith a cock-and-luill
story Is Hashed across the wires
that the great man Is succumbing to
the "pressure that is being brought to
bear upon him from the outside." If
Mr. .Mitchell calls the district presi
dents around hlni for consultation it
follows of necessity that there must be
something abnormal In the wind.
Wo do not know whom Senator Piatt
has obtained his Information thnt the
Ktrlke would end In n "week or at most
two." We do not know why he in
sists that it will cud soon. If he Is
merely giving expression to a general
ization founded upon personal obser
vation he is as likely to be mistaken
as any other pernio. Ho far as those
can observe who are living through the
.strike there Is to-dny as little appar
ent probability of tills despot-rile
struggle coming abruptly to an end as
there was on Iho day on which it be
gan. Ther Is the formulated deter
mination oft each side that the fight
will continue to n finish. As Superin
tendent Itose says, all the predictions
that have been made have been fulsi
llcd iby the Implacable course of
eventfc. It IsilueUo the miners to own
that Ihelr'leaders havo given little or
no cojintenanco to Wall street rumors.
AVe oj-eV'nll Inclined to accept as genu
ine pognoatk-u'tions that fit In with
our pYeposHesslQiis apd. ,de?res,
Sutl)cien7 foe the day and "ion? than
Burtlclrnt Is the avll fact that the strike
will enter Its fifth month without nny
clear foresight of the probable extent
of Itsieontlnued duration.
The threo-to-one vote by which the
British trades union congress rejected
u resolution calling for the creation of
a plan for, pompulsory arbitration sug
uests ;that, compulsion Is most popular
when proposed for the other fellow.

ThtJ President and tho Trusts.
y""HEUK ARR renewed rumors
I; of organized opposition from
!; within the Republican party
, to President Rooseyelt he
. cause of his attitude concerning the
'trusts The New York Herald yesteri
day repeated with synthesized detail
the rumor for some tjmo current that
the real secret of the reported Inten
tion of tho IC-ew York Republican con
vention not to endorse the president as
a candidate In 1S04 is tho determination
of rVnator Piatt and certain influential
Wall street cuptalns of finance to dis
connect themselves politically from the
lloospyclt programme and to let tho
public know that this programmo Is
being pushed nguhist their Judgment
and ndvlco.
Tills may or may not be true. As yet
It Is nothing more than rumor. The
fact that It Is credible and natural ac
counts for the willingness of mnny peo
ple to accept It, The president has
doubtless calculated the chances and
nutdo up his mind to accept them. Nat
urally the men whoso livelihood Is de
pendent upon tho construction and con
trol of trusts, or whose chief ambition
lies In the direction at acquiring the
vast power Inherent In the magnates
of Immense Industrial combinations
would be likely to look with disfavor
upon a programme designed to limit
their opportunities or curtail their au
thority. This Is merely human nature,
of which, of course, the trust makers
have their slime. Tim old saying that
"no rogue e'er felt tho haltKr draw
with added reverence for the law" ap
plies In this Instance the same as In
any other. Not all trust makers or
managers are rogues, by any means;
but It would be natural that all should
look with suspicion and distrust upon
tho attempt to substitute for their per
sonal wisdom the supervision of a gov
ernment tribunal empowered to keep a
watch over their alms ond methods.
But the obvious politics of the situ
ation Is with the president. Those who
fight him will have to do so under
cover or stand committed to the de
fense of Illegality. What the president
alms to touch, if possible, ure the evils
not the virtues of trusts. Those who
shall oppose him will have to establish
either that there are no evils a task
they would likely find uphill work or
that tlie president's way of reaching
tho evils would do more harm than
good. He lias the distinct advantage of
Initiative, of public confidence and re
spect and of the conceded lack of a
selfish personal motive. His speeches
confirm the public Judgment that he Is
actuated solely by it sense of duty, and
they are so rapidly establishing him in
the good will and enthusiastic respect
of the American people of all parties
that tlie men who hope to sidetrack
hlni will need to get to work and work
hard if they are not to have their labor
for their pains.
Ordinarily one is tempted to sympa
thize with almost any revolution which
can break out In South America, pre
vailing government conditions being
usually so vicious as to justify forcible
revolt. But In the case of Venezuela
there does not seem to be much call
for preference between the Ins and the
outs. Both are insufferably vlctouB.
Rudolph Virchow.
THR GLORY of tho nineteenth
century has been in its
scientific discoveries, and
Rudolph Vlrcliow was one
of its greatest scientific men. He was
a German, and his nationality connotes
the largest expenditure possible of hu
man effort in the pursuit and systom
izatiou of knowledge. Vircliov'a name
has become synonymous In tlie popu
lar mind with certain theories on here
ditary transmission. He was supposed
to oppose the evolutionary view that
acquired parental traits are transmis
sible to the offspring. If this view Is
or can be maintained, the biological
foundation of the Darwinian theory of
evolution would be rudely shattered.
But Vircliow's deductions have been
exasperatlngly exploited by men who
have accepted ills provisional negation
of hereditary transmission in the clini
cal theory of life for an absolute denial
of the evolutionary process. Virchow
was ns firm a believer In evolution us
Darwin himself. He denied that pro
toplasm is modified or conditioned in
Its biological development by Its en
vironment. He believed that heredity
has Its ramifications stretched so far
back In tlie genesis of animal ond
vegetable life, and that Its largo char
acteristics are so permanent that
neither his own researches nor those
of others satisfied him that hereditary
traits were Immediately transmissible.
So far as Vircliow's views bore upon
man in his social development, they
were far Indeed from being consola
tory. If heredity Is as static as he con
tended, the hopes of the moral and
physical progression of the human race
are despajrlngly small.
Virchow has made very few disciples
to his theories on heredity. His fame
and ills work rest upon another und a
broader busts. It is as a pathologist
that Vircliow's claim to tlie gratitude
of mankind will rest. It was he who
established the principle that the laws
working in disease are not different
from those in operation in health, but
that they are subject to different con
ditions. This fact Is Infinitely more
Important as a practical discovery than
his views upon heredity. His specu
lations and investigations have not
changed tho trend of scientific thought,
nor discouraged the acceptance by the
men of science of the fundamental
principles of evolution as they were
formulated by Charles Darwin. Ho
has accomplished much by his con
scientious and laborious investigation
of ono of the most obscure and Intri
cate divisions of the phenomena of life.
Virchow, as well as Darwin, knew that
organisms vuried. Darwin claimed that
these variations have gone on from
the beginning of life, nnd ure now us
at all times leading to the formation
of species, They ure consequently
hereditary or transmissible. Virchow
could not find in his morphological in
vestigations that hereditary traits are
transmitted with the detlulteness
claimed for them by tho modem school
of biologists and embryologlsts, who, of
course, base their conclusions upon
tho Darwinian hypothesis. Criminolo
gists, for Instance, assert that utav
Ism and degeneration ure tho heredi
tary legacy which the sins of the
father visit upon tho children, Vir
chow would be the last to deny that
sins of tho father are visited upon the
children In the Biblical sense. The
child of a -convict or a drunkard suf
fers from a parent's sins in a very real
and tangible way. But Virchow did
not recognize the sins of the parents
as tho biological fountain from which
the child's evil development was pre
determined, Virchow was a man who had large
nnd practical views of life. He was no
recluse. Ho took a citizen's part In all
that concerned tho clv)c welfare of
his countrymen nnd tho larger social
probtcins that occupy the best thoughts
of the best men nil countries.
Colonel Wnttcrson's assertion thnt
the Four Hundred are utterly rotten
morally Is of course Pickwickian. Fun
damentally human nature Is pretty
much the same In all levels. If it were
not popular these dnys to rail nt wealth
the gallant colonel would be more char,
Itabla. Has Had Enough.
TUB REASONS given by tho
Nestor of Pennsylvania Jour
nalism, Colonel A. K. Mc
Clure, for deciding to cut
loose from tho piebald "reform" move
ment ns represented by Pnttlson, CJuf
fey & Co, arc certainly convincing. He
says:
"I shall heartily support Judge
Pcnnypncker for governor. His pollti
cal environment Is quite ns healthy as
that of his competitors nnd his per
sonal Integrity nnd udmltted ability
give tho best assurance of honest state
administration. I have known him per
sonally and well for thirty years and
have never found a blemish upon his
political or private record. He was not
a party to his own nomination and he
is free to accept the duties of tho high
office and perform them with eminent
credit to himself nnd with the largest
benefits to the people of our great com
monwealth. If only questions of state
policy were Involved In the present
contest, I would most heartily support
any state ticket that gave reasonable
promise of state and city reform, but
thera is no party leadership on either
side in the present struggle to give
such assurance. Character and quali
fications of Individual candidates thus
become vital and I accept Judge
Pennypacker as the most worthy of
the trust and support of the people.
"But there are other und most vital
questions Involved In the contest which
were not in nny degree Involved in the
contest of last year. The country is en
joying a degree of industrial and com
mercial prosperity unexampled In our
history and our honored flag and bene
ficent institutions havo been extended
Into distant lands to illustrate to the
world the grandeur of our free gov
ernment and its ability to command
tho markets of every clime for Ameri
can labor. All these great achievements
have been attained against a censori
ous and quibbling minority marshaled
under the banner of Democracy and It
has stumbled and floundered in fitful
opposition until it stands before the
country and the world today as bank
rupt nllke In leadership and principle.
National issues of the greatest moment
are involved in the election of 1902.
With such conditions presented in the
present exceptional and substantial
progress of patriotic advancement and
material prosperity, I cannot vote for
candidates whose party hope of suc
cess is in disasters to our army in the
field, in convulsed business and trade
and in the silent temples of Industry,
with breadless homes for American
worklngmen."
.
In Mr. Bryan's opinion, President
Roosevelt's attitude on the trust prob
lem Is "weak nnd puerile." He will
have difficulty in making the trusts
believe that.
We dare say that munlc war was
worth its cost; but there ought to be a
time limit on the rag-chewing concern
ing It.
Why is it that it Is our navy which
seems to have a monopoly of running
aground on uncharted reefs?
Bryan scorlig Roosevelt for playing
politics with tho trusts recalls Satan
rebuking sin.
The United States
of th? Orient
W11KN engaged in a new business
venture the prudent man pauses
occasionally and takes note of
the results so far achieved, with
a view to future efforts along sure lines.
Apart from the eminently justifiable mor
al grounds for our acquisition of the
islands of the Philippine urchipelago.there
Is a commercial side, which we must re
gard as u now business venture, What
have we accomplished commercially in
the "I'nllcd States of the Orient," since
1S03? Let tho figures testify:

1S90 l'KJl 1 C?

Spain's custom revenue was from three
to thtTo uud onu-lmlf million dollars an
nually, Comparing our trade with that of other
countries, with "those far off Isles of the
sea where day begins," the following fluc
tuations nro significant of tho progress we
nro making. We, quote the per cent, from

Tho large Increase to tho United King
dom was mululy for hemp, a large part
of which eventually reached the United
Stulea,, It Is gratifying to note that our
direct importation of hemp In 1901, was
one million dollars over 1S90.
Wo oro making headway In that, our
sales to tlie Philippines luiya risen from
barely 3 per cent, of tho total Imports of
tho tslunds In tho lust yours of Spanish
control, to 12 per cent, in 1901. Wo ship
there, chiclly, and In the following order
of Importance, malt llnuora, wheat (lour,
Iron and steel and their mamifuctures,
papor In Its various forms, distilled spir
its, Blasswuro, curs, carriages and bi
cycle, cotton goods, wood nnd Its manu
factures, leather and its manufactures,
and watches and clocks.
The Islands bought wheat Hour In JS9J
to tho amount of 3S:',S01. and In 1901,
$553,809. Our percentage of 17 in 1899, rose
to M n 1901, If wo can supplant tho rice
of tho Enst Indies and China, with our
wheat flour, as an artlcto of food, tho
gain to us will bo enormous.
, In 1901, wo Bold 40 per cent, of tho
clocks nnd watches, 43 per cent, of tho
$7,000,000 cotton goods, 41 per cent, of tho
$700,000 stone, rhltiti and Rlnss ware, lit per
cent, of the $.',0.12,901 Iron nnd steel, only
P per cent, of the $:t2.90S boots nnd shoes,
88 per cent, of the $700,000 mnlt liquors.
Jnpnn-sent M per cent, of tho $270,301
watches, but tho new watch factory at
Manila, equipped with American machin
ery, will soon cut Japan out. When tlie
Filipinos raise their own rice, they will
save several of the millions of dollars
now paid out to foreigners, for thnt chief
article, of tho Filipino diet. When our ex
perimental farms tench them how to do
truck farming they will also savo tho
half million dollars paid yearly to China
for vegetables. They will largely IncrotiBO
their consumption of canned goods, lit
this lino wo compote successfully with tho
world. In loot, they bought steam nnd
Balling vessels valued nt nearly $1,000,000,
but wo do not (Inure In tho list.
Turning to the export side we nnd that
hemp constituted nearly two-thirds ot
tho 915,076.640 total exports, We took M
per cent, direct nnd a good deal more,
indirectly. London Is the controlling hemp
market of tho world. Tho recent change
In export duties will likely divert tho
Philippine hemp direct to us, Instead of
through London, Tlie hemp trade of our
"branch In the Orient" Increased 80 per
cent. In quantity between 1809 und 1901,
and 100 per cent. In value. Tobacco ex
ports show a good Increase, being $1,931,
2.V1 for 1893, against $2,131,901 for 1901. Of
tho $2,500,000 sugar exported in 1901, wo
only took 12 per cent. Japan took 49 por
cent. Other exports ure copra, straw hats
(?Panama) mother-of-pearl, copal and
cattle hides.
Tho exportation of valuable, woods,
means million upon millions of dollars for
the islands, ns soon as transportation Is
provided, and saw mills erected.
Now we have reached a most humiliat
ing record: Of the $37,183,093, Including
gold and silver, Imported Into tho Philip
pines In 1901, only two per cent, was car
ried in American vessels. Why? Simply
because, for want of protection, ship sub
sidy, or whatever we choose to call It, we
havo only "an apology for a fleet" ot
ocean going steamships. Great Britain
carried 03 por cent, of our goods, and
Oormany, 10 per cent.
On the export side our humiliation Is
still greater only ono per cent. In Ameri
can vessels only ono per cent, of $26,000,
000. Great Britain carried all her own
goods and seventy-five per cent, of ours.
Are we "moving, heaven and earth" to
build up our trade In the Orient, simply
to provide .profitable business for foreign
vessels?
Educational, army and navy, and other
government supplies are not included In
these figures, ns published by the Bureau
of Insular Affairs. Our "branch in the
Orient" Is doing well.

NO TROUBLE TO HELP SEARCH.
A woman stopped at a cloth counter In
ono of the largo department stores re
cently and asked to be shown some dress
patterns suitable for eaily autumn wear.
The salesman began on tho lowest row
of shelved compartments and pulled out
and opened box after box until the coun
ter on either side of him was plied as high
as his head with goods. Three times he
climbed a ladder ro the upper rows and
staggered down under a weight of box
patterns until, when tho woman took a
survey of the shelves, but two .patterns
remained unopened. Then she said, very
sweetly: -
"I don't think I'll buy nny today, I'm
sorry to have troubled you; but you see I
only came in to look for a friend."
"No trouble whatever, madame," he re
plied politely. "Indeed. If you think your
friend is in either of the remaining two
boxes. I don't mind opening them too."

ADVERTISING DID IT.
Every one knows how great the con
sumption of oatmeal lias become- on ac
count of its promotion by advertising.
To indicate how other food products may
bo promoted Mahln's Magazine for Sep
tember says: "The consumption of oat
meal has Increased six-fold in ten years.
What would happen to cornstarch If ex
ploited In a manner to create newer and
more frequent habits of use?"
THE MOSQUITO.
In tlie marshes where tho bullfrog sings
his mellow serenade,
In the swamps where booms the bittern
in the gloomy cypress shade
And the cheerful alligator lurks within
the everglade;
In tlie cistern, where rnln water pours
and trickles down the spout;
On stagnant pools, In grasses, and 'most
everywhere about,
The bloodthirsty mosquito from tho egg
is hutching out,
And once hatched, lie comes anions us
with ids pesky llttlo bill.
And ho settles on our persons, very much
against our will.
And, Inserting his proboscis, he proceeds
at once to drill.
And when through our epidermis ho has
managed for to bore,
Ho tills up his little carcass to the burst
ing point with gore,
This Is strictly true, though doubtless
you suspected it before,
t
You think that you havo got him and
find out thnt you have not,
For ho keeps ono eyo wido open to elude
tlie sudden s,wat.
And knows just how long It's healthy to
remain upon tho spot,
You may screen up all your windows nnd
hang netting o'er your bed,
It doesn't keep hhn out because he stays
inside Instead,
And you wnko up In tho morning and
find that you've been bled.
Similarly you may smear yourself with
evil-smelling stuff
That Is guaranteed by druggists on mos-
quitoeB to bn rough,
But they scorn to quite enjoy It, though
It does smell bad enough,
So bo breaks our summer slumbers, robs
us of our needed rest;
So ho drives us from our porches, wlioro
tho vines ho doth Infest.
And ho spoils tho fun of fishing, does
this sanguinary pest.
But upon tho brute's demerits we'd en
deavor to ho dumb;
Wo'd foralvo hlni nil his faults no in
considerable sum
If he'd simply go about his bloody busi
ness and not hum.
