At the wotst, the Republican party
will worry along without Colonel Hen
derson. Bishop Fallows' Visit.
w
ITHOI'T REGARD to the
Immediate Issues nf the
strike, lexlileuts of the
anthracite region gladly
welcome Bishop Fallows. The asei
'itlons credited to him In numerous pub
lished Interviews that be expei ts wltb
..in a week to get to the bottom of i ou
trditions In the coal fields and put hiin
"Mf In position to judge intelligently of
fthe various matters eiiteiing into the
"piesent stniggle ale, we hae no doubt,
pnoneous. No man, not even so uhle
an Investigator as Risbop Fallows, can
'do" the coal pinblenu in a week, or,
vfor that matter, in a month or a eai.
k There aiu plenty of pel sons 'pietty
neaily as keen as the good bishop w bo
ihave passed many ye.us In the he.nt
,of the black diamond Industiy and In
Jieisonal touch with Its jirobiems and
lis men who. In spile of the study they
Have given It, do not piofess to under
stand it hutllciently to set up a teach
veis of the public.
4 But be that as it may, the bishop, In
,a shott visit, can leant much. One of
.the lessons which he can take home
witli him and which, If he shall impart
It to others living at a distance from
JJie mine fields, will have an education
':il value, is that amongst these bills
'and In these valleys of XoUlieastein
-Pennsylvania nie to be found, not, as
many Imagine, a chaos of misgoverned
savagery and chionlc destitution, but a
very fair aveulge of civilization, quite
"ns good, for example, as In Chicago,
with fully iis high a btundaid of citizen
Ship, quite as clean moials, and, In
normal times, piobably as i,8u an uvei
age of family Incomes piopovtloned to
.(the cost of -living. We trust that the
bishop may come to Sorantou and in
quire among the cashiers of our numer
ous ' and increasing banks as to the
savings which have been accumulated
toy the mine workers of this legion or
to look about him for examples of
.inlners and miner's children who, by
.thrift and pluck and piompt Improve
ment of opening oppoitunilles, have
risen to positions of honor and pioflt.
Should he come with the ptepus.seslons
rot the average explorer lie will go buck
'with new ideas of the progress In civili
sation and material development which
the coaj fields, and especially the so
called "coal Held cities," have made
.Since the Molly Jlaguiie days when they
wete pliituu-d to a bonified world us
.einks of deviltry and abodes of ln,
i This is not to say that Bishop Fal--Iowb
will not find many things in need
of remedy, or that he will not Hud
inucn in tne economic and social con
dition of the labor in our mines to en
list Ills sympathy and excite his in
.dlgnation. But while he Is finding- griev
ances rooted In Justice he will also find
(that all the cause for tOmplalnt is not
'On one side. And if lie shall collect the
evidence thoioughly and weigh It iui-4ja-Uallyripj
will, without doubt) come
at length to the conclusion th.it the
tiUJman nature-ot-thcrconl flelds'ls pretty
much like that of Chicago and else-
where.iind .that ihin,lM.iin, better ork
for the cleigy, wherpver It be located,
than ill tivlllg to uel men nnil vimi

Help Wanted."

UK AMKK1CAX Economist
Uieseiils n sti lklng lontrast
between labor conditions In
this countiy in 1W1C and 1991.
It I- made up Horn the leioid of "want

tive huge cities liom Boston to Han
Fianclsco.
In 1891! the gieut iiuijoi ity of these
"ads." weie under the heading "Situ

Herald advertisements dining August,

Mitntiiaiy of tlie advei llseiuenls in the

shows that .I.hJ!! were lor situations

these ads. for help wanted called tin
several bundled or seveial thousand
men. The Seattle Post Intelligence!
published one ad. i ailing for 1,100 men,
and the San Fi.uicImo KNairiinei's ads.
on that date called for 17,000 pel sons.
It Is estimated by the compilei of these

It is a striking lontiast fnun the (iy

Rioting Soldiers.
I
F, AS Lord Wolsely said lately,
we have the finest and most elll
cleut ni my In the wot Id lor Its
size, Its supeiloilty can be main
tained only la one way, by maintain
ing Its discipline. Our soldiers aie not
given higher pay Hum the toiies of any
other nation upon eaith to squander It
In llotousness. The Duke of AVelllng
ton spoke of the Bngllsh t loops with
whom he completed at AVateiloo as
"the letuse of humanity," Ills contempt
for the poor w t etches under whom he
gained his tilumphs was as unjust as
it was meanly egotistical. Wellington
In another way gave expiesslou to the
pievalllng sentiment of a centuiy ago,
one not altogether obliterated yet, that
It was the genetal alone and not the
soldleis who won the battles, when he
dogmatically asserted thai the piesence
of Napoleon on the field was equal to
4irty thousand men.
This exaltation of the geneial at the
expense of the innk ami tile who fought
and bled Is no longet a cuidlnal at tide
of military science. W.lth the ttunsror
matloulu public and expert opinion
Hint the private soldier as a unit plays
a pieponderant pint 111 gaining a vie
toiy, has come a higher and mine prac
tical lecogiiltiou of his duty to himself
and the country which he selves, The
lecrultlng seigeaut Is no longer linking
found the cornets taking pottshots In
the pieserves of lascallty, He looks foi
lespectuble young men and Invuilubly
bets them to cieute up. in my, Kver
since the civil war In this countiy,
.when thi) tegular soldier and the cltl
zeu soldlei stood shoulder lo shoulder,
fighting with equal valor, responsibil
ity and noilous of discipline, the icspect
In which tlu enlisted man Is held and
the prospects of his iiilyiiiueiuent In
the in my have been measiited by the
moinl stnndaid ptovullliig In idyll life,
The soldier when he cnteis the in my
does not by doing so divest himself of
his citizenship; nor can he do so of his
moial lespoiinlbllUy to society.
1'nfoi innately, since the abolition of
the canteen thcui have been fiequcut
outbursts of lawless violence at our
army posts which aie a dlsgiace to the
army and to the country, Whether
these aie due to the, icmuval of the
canteen or not, they have at any rule
cfnlin that the canteen Is i source of
evil nnd demoinllr.iitlon cannot deny
that the post snlooiiH and dives nie In
finitely worse. All the ilotlng which
has taken place In the nelRhboihood or
our army quarters has oilgliiated lit
saloons. Soldiers, like other people,
must be peimltted some volition In
legtllalltlK thejr llv'cs. If the soldier
who di Inks Is not permitted to buy n
glass of beer or two In his fpiarleis, he
will go whcio he i nil net It and get
louring ill link Into the iiirgnln. (live
hlln the election of a glass of coffee, tr
some non-ulcohollc drink nnd n glass
of beer under cleanly nnd sympathetic
envlionmeiit nnd the chances ate that
In the collise of time he call be weaned
from the appetite for the one through
all educated taste for the other. But
compel him to seek for a glass of beer
where he has no choice, and Ills associ
ations will do the rest to degrade blin
Into a bad soldier iltid a bad cltls'.en.
The canteen having been tibollshed,
theie Is no pieseiit need lo cry over
split milk. Let It go. Hut those le
.sponsb. for Its going owe It to the
in my to do what they can to supply by
some better plan the social needs which
the canteen imperfectly stood for. It
will not be a gain tor morals simply to
dilve the nveiage soldier fiom the well
legulated canteen to the ultelly ilc
inoinllsdng dive.
'ill an in tide entitled "Splilt of Ue

Democracy Is to light the Republican
