This year there Is hnrmony of purpose, superior oi'Riiiilznllon and a l!t of candidates requiring neither npoloRy nor explanation, Republicans may well enter up. A Lesson in Brotherhood. "T IS a happy sIbu of the larger fellowship ot modern religious life and thought that at the dedi catory exercises of a Jewish temple Christians are not only present by" Invitation, hut also at one with the purpose of tho temple's construction. The many messages and expressions of congratulation received by the Congre gation Anshpehesed from participants In other faiths upon the completion of their beautiful new place of worship on Madison avenue measure a marked ad vance In human brotherhood since the days when liftman energies weie largely expended In persecuting and oppressing In the name of religion. Those who sometimes lament what they call the declining force of religion In modern life surely would not have the dial of history turned back to the era when to be a Jew meant in all Christian countries to have tb live in concealment or Incur the hazard of frightful injustice. It is. not a decline, but a refinement of religion which en courages among men of differing faiths ngreement and co-operation in those larger purposes of religion which have to do with society's uplifting and with the betterment of individual character. In places yet the old intolerance ex ists; and no rebuke to it Is more SC feetual than object lessons In large minded liberality. W'u are glad that an opportunity for such nn object-lcs-Kin has been afforded this community mid vu trust that none will ever be neglected. Judge Pennypacker's condemnation of the ripper legislation ot the Inst assem bly must have sounded oddly to Quay, lllgclow and the Olivers, Its architects; but It showed that the Republican can didate for governor has a mind and a will of his own and must Increase re spect for him. Secretary Shaw on Reciprocity. O AMERICAN of tho present geneiallon has a better fac ulty than Secretary Shaw for putting substantial nrgu irpnts In a form to appeal to the aver iigo understanding. Ills use of lun p.uage is masterful and he does not talk at random. H At Chicago, on Saturday night, he discussed reciprocity and showed that Instead of this bring a departure from protection It was a logical outgrowth of it, Americans being greater pro ducers than consumers, it was a ques tion whether their power to produce should be checked when tho home mnr Itot wits filled or whether the surplus pioducta of their production should be offered for salt- in foreign markets. To Leoomo nn exporting nation will re quire, not only good articles to sell but also skill and cleverness In the soiling, If by riMllcke'r iti tariffs not injuring our homp market wo can enlurgo our foreign "Innrkot, Secretary Shaw con tends tljat It would ho foolish and Bhort-slglUeil not to make that dicker nnd. work It for nil it is worth, Noi ls he scared because export prices are Homcllni'cs lower than tho homo prices of articles similar In kind. On this Etibject-whlcli. by the way, seems to roncern.pur Democratic friends a groat deal he sold; Our manufacturer has a hard time nt best establishing n foreign trade. In the llrst place, ho pays "higher wages than his rlva$. in tho next place, us soon as ho cioswjs Uie sea and begins to build up his trade, and offers his goods at a price that villi insure u sale, lie H con fronted tit homo with tho accusation of selling cheaper abroad, and with a threat that hls'"'home market will bo destroyed by the Tternoval of alio tariff. Foreign pountrlcjldo not do this. They encourage their exiiprters, 'and these exporters ure expectod'to sell cheaper abroad than at borne. I havevwlth me six biimples of sugar sent by Major Williams, special agent of the treasury department, resident ' in Paris, They were bought by his servant for use In his kitchen, and he paid there, for the equivalent of 10 cents a pound. That was In France, mark yout und this Is ordinary grnnulated sugar, The whole sale prloe wuii above seven cents. Yet France makes her own sugar, exports to the United States, pays J1.53 per hundred tariff duly, then sells It ut wholesale in this 'country for less than five cents. In other words, the wholesale price for this lurur at the factory where made Is seven N nnd onc-lmlf cents, It Is exported here, a duly of two cents n pound paid thereon, and the wholesale price Is less than five. A year or so ago, some manufacturers of chocolate In Holland Imported their product to Iho United Btutei nnd weie charged with undervaluing It. Tho board of general appraisers at New York look sworn evidence ns to the cost of mnnufac lurlng the.ae rhocolntci and tho evidence disclosed the fnot Hint granulated Bilgnr was worth nt wholesale In Holland seven and one-hnlf rpnts. Yet Holland exports sugar to the United States, pays two cents per pound duty and sells for lefs than live, Tho sturdy Hollanders believe It U part nt statesmanship to encourage the export trade and they do not criticise for selling goods, abroad cheaper than nt home. Tho HnllAtutcr Is willing to pay 10 cents for sugar from beets he grows himself If by so doing ho can sweetn the food for tho Americans. For my part I will pay most nny pi Ice for barbed wire, If the wheat from my field, tho but ter from my dulty, the beef from my pas ture, nnd tho pork from my sty shall sus tain tho American laborer while he makes barbed wire for the ranches of Stexlco nnd South America, Is not this sound, practical sense? Tariff revision nt the right time. Hut no tampering with tho nation's pros perity I Qolden Rule Diplomacy "rAllH FULL significance of the r note of Secretary liny to the powers respecting Itoumnn- la's persecution of the Jews Is slowly gaining recognition in this country. It Is characteristic of the readier public understanding of Inter national matters on the other side that the British press was the earliest to sense this. First ns to the facts. On July 13, 1878, a treaty was signed nt llerlln by Great Krltaln, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria nnd Turkey establishing a balance of power In tho Balkans, its 44th article prescribing that "In Hou mnnln, the difference of religious creeds and confessions shall not he alleged against any person ns a ground for ex elusion or Incapacity In matters relat ing to the enjoyment of civil and poli tical right, admission to public employ ments, functions nnd honors, or the ex ercise of the various professions and industries In any locality whatsoever;" and guaranteeing that all foreigners In Koumania shall he treated without dis tinction of creed on a footing of perfect equality. As a matter of fact, in Rou nianla today the Jews are denied every one of these rights. They are excluded from the public service and the learned professions; they are singled out for special and outrageous taxntlon; they are prohibited from owning land or even cultivating it as common laborers; they are debarred from residing in the rural districts; and In the cities sucli restrictions are placed upon their ability to win bread that they must either submit to beggary or seek relief in exile. The United States was not a party to the treaty of Berlin, the Monroe doc trine forbidding. But Secretary Play claims the right, on ground of general equity and also because the existence of such unauthorized discriminations in Rounianla tends to injure the United States by forcing into It n stream of Immigration not fitted for American citizenship, to protest agnlnst Rouman ian conditions. The essence of the secretary's argument Is comprised in the following excerpts: The United Slates welcomes now, nsit hns welcomed from the foundntlon of its government, the voluntary Immigration of all aliens coming hither under condi tions fitting them to become merged in the body politic of this land. Tho con ditions are few, looking to their coming as free agents, so circumstanced physi cally and morally as to supply the health ful and Intelligent material of free citi zenship. Tho pauper, the criminal, tho contngiously or incurably diseased are ex eluded from the benefits of Immigration only when they are likely to become a source of danger or a burden upon the community. Tho voluntary character of their coming Is essential; hence we shut out nil Immigration assisted or con strained by foreign agencies. The pur pose of our generous treatment of tho alien immigrant Is to benefit us and him Alikenot to afford to another state a Held upon which to cast Its own objec tionable elements. It behooves the statu to scrutinize, most jealously tho character of the immigration from a for eign land, nnd, If it be obnoxious, to ex amine the causes which render It so. Should those cnuses orlglnato In the act of another sovereign state, to tho detri ment of Its neighbors, It is the preroga tive of nn injured state to point out tho evil nnd to mnkn remonstrance; for with nations, an with Individuals, the social law holds good that the right of each Is bounded by tho right of tho neighbor. The teachings of history and tho exper ience of our own nation show that the Jews possess In a high degree tho men tal and moral quantitations' of conscien tious cltlzenhood. No class of Immigrants Is more welcome to our shores when com ing equipped In mind and body for en trance upon tho struggle for bread nnd Inspired with the high purpose to glvo tho best service of heart and brain to the laud they adopt of their own free will. Hut when they romn as outcasts, mado doubly paupers by physicnl nnd moral oppression In their native land and thrown upon tho long-suffering generos ity of a moro favored community, their migration lacks tho essential conditions which make alien Immigration either ac ceptable or benellclnl. So well is tills appreciated on tho continent Hint even in tho countries where nutl-Semltlsm hns no foothold It Is dtlflpult for theso fleeing Jews to obtain any lodgment. America Is their only goal, Tho United States offers asylum to the oppressed of all innds. Hut Its sympathy with them In no wise Impairs lt Just liberty and right to weigh tho nets of tho oppressor In tho light of their effects upon this country nnd to Judge nccordlngly, Putting together the fncts( now pain fully brought homo to this government during the past few years, that many of tho Inhabitants of Houmanlu are being forced, by nrtlllolnlly ndverse discrimina tion to quit their natlvn country; that the hospltabla asylum offered by this country Is almost tho only refuge left to them; that thoy come hither unfitted, by the conditions of their exile, to take part In tho now life of tliU land under cir cumstances either profitable to them selves i)i' benellclnl to tho community; nnd that they aro objects of charity from the outset and for a long time tho right of remonstrance against the nets of Uie Itnumanlaii government Is clearly pstnb llsheil III favor, of this government. Whether consciously and of purpose or not, these helpless people, burdened and cpurnedjiy their native land, nie foiced by the sovereign power of itournunln upon the charity of the United Stutes. This government cannot ho a tacit party to such uii International wrong, It so happens that tho number, of Itoumunlnn Jews In the United H(ntes us recorded by the recent census Is only about 12,000, n number sufficient to sus tain tho secretary's plea of selfish In terest, but hardly BUfllcicnt to cause it to bo looked upon as paramount. In reality his note of protest Is an appeal to tho conscience of Christendom made under a form of self-interest, his ob jective being to Jet other notions know that American moral Influence Is nt tho back of treaty observance rtnd Inter national fair plnyj that It proposes henceforth to assert und to the limit of Its power sustain the mornl taw among nations. And It Is significant that from the foreign office of England enmo prompt nnd hearty endorsement of tho Hay declnrntUn, while the Ger man chancellery, though moving with greater deliberation, caUscii notice to bo given that It, too, was In accord, Americans certainly have occcaslon to look with, pride upon the dlplomucy of John ifny, It In doing mora than battleships to extend American prestige nnd expand American Influence. The new boss of Tammany, Charles F. Murphy, says ho will not, recognize Devory and Devcry says he will not recognize Murphy, They have our per mission to fight. - Having got another real gory murder mystery to fill their first pages, the New York yellows are onco more happy. An Appeal to Common Sens?. An Individual Coal Operator Reasons with Striking Mine Workers. From the New York Sun. To tho Editor of tho Sun-Sir: Wheth er of use or useless, nevertheless, I, nn individual conl operator, am constrained to address n few lines to the mine work ers. And theso lines will bo to give somo good reasons why the opcratois have re fused from first to Inst to deal with John Mitchell and his union. First of nil, you miners well know that tho different con ditions at the different mines made It im possible to grant the union's demand for u unlfoim nite or'increuse of wages for all the mines. Next, you miners well know that the minor who mines coal at a lixed pi Ice per car contnlnlng a specific number of cubic feet makes more money, In nearly every case, than does the miner who mines it at so much per ton, nnd that that demand, that all coal mined be paid for by the ton, was only made to catch the sympathy of the public. And ns to the complaint about dockage, you miners all know that if, after cutting your coal, you would but remain In the mines to see your laborer properly clean It as he loads It Into the enr, that a docking boss would not be needed, nnd that this complaint is therefore charge able solely to yourselves. Before the strike was ordered the one thing most for you and your lenders to consider should have been that old but very true adage that "You can always catch more files with molasses than you can with vinegar." The strike itself was considered causeless and produced a very ugly wound, and when John Mitchell and his satellites were Idiotic enough to pour raw vinegar therein by the issuance ot that Infamous ukase ordering out the engineers, firemen and pumpmen, which meant to flood, blow up and destroy every mine In tho anthracite region, they thereby nt once blasted their every chance and hope of ever getting the op eratois to have any dealings whatever with them .or their union. Let me say, In passing, that this order to flood, blow up and destroy the mines was looked upon as no worse than would it be to put tho torch to and burn down the breakers, and forced upon the operators the belief that John Mitchell and his co horts would just as soon order the latter as the former but for the law that to order the torch would send them to the penitentiary. Is it any wonder that the operators havo refused to deal with Mitchell and such a union as he conducts? No sane man should expect it. And as If this weie not enough, they add the bludgeon, tho shotgun, riot, murder and general de struction, and all without one word ot condemnation from John Mitchell or nny, of his leaders, and yet they and you ask the operators "to kiss tho hand that thus smites them." Pteposterous! And the sooner you mine workeis yourselves real ize it tho better it will bo for you. Yet with this state of affairs upon us some of our newspapers cry "Grant con cessions!" "Arbitrate!" "Mine coal!" A very largo proportion would, I know, gladly mine coal but for fear of their lh'es nnd destruction of their homes, As to "Impartial" arbitration, so much ex ploited to catch tho public, John Mitchell was never honest In nsklng it, ns I shall prove out of his own mouth. In his speech before the Allied Labor societies in Philadelphia on Sept. 12, he said: "Governor Stono Is contemplating nn ex tra session of the legislature for the purpose of having enacted n compulsory arbitration law. The miners nre willing to havo arbitration but they are not willing to have compulsory arbitration." This Is "impartial" arbitration with a vengeance, Very willing Is ho to bind tho coal companies, but, oh, no, don't make It compulsoiy to bind the union or tho miners. And tlioso newspapers that havo been so vociferously calling upon the opera tors to arbitrate, why don't they now ring this dally bofoie tho public, that John Mitchell has now said ho don't want It If it Is to bo compulsory and binding upon him nnd his union? Now, a little moro to tho mlno worker nnd tho public In general, Supposing I and my friends should come around to day with tho torch and bum or try to burn down your homes and destroy all your possessions, and then should come tomonow nnd nsk n favor of you? In nil honesty I nsk you what you would do and say? Would you not kick us out of your presence. If not, you nro not human, and yet after all John Mitchell nnd his union have done to destroy their property you ask the operatois to grant him favors. You ought to know better, and tho sooner you realize It and return to work the better oft you will be. Your leadeis are at tho end of their string and their cause Is lost and they know it. Let me cite to you Just a few of the Instances In which John Mitchell and his sldo lights have fooled you. First, John Mitchell's seductive voico nnd fulse prom ises made you strike. Since that you have been told tho Civic Fedeintlon would help you out. Then Jt was Mark I In mm. T1,pn the damnable order to Hood tho mines would biirely bilng th bperntprs to time, Then a miners' na tional convention was called to proclaim a natlonnl strike. That fulled. Tho big fund of money that was to copio from the t-oft coal miners likewise failed, at least in so far ns much of it (Pitching you poor mlno workers. Then you were told the clergy would settle it. Then Quay, Penroso and Piatt were ull-powerful, but you were fooled ogaln. Next, our great governor rum down to Now York nnd he can surely bring Mr, Morgan to time. Hut Mr. Morgan doesn't own all tho coal properties In the country and Is not un just enough to dictate anything that would result In Irreparable Injury to others, Then you wero told tho president of 'the United States would settlo it. Fooled again. Next tho taffy was spooned out to you Hint tho governor (oh, no, not tho governor, Mr. Qtiuy) would cofi vene tho legislature and pass a compul sory arbitration law (which Mitchell now says he doesn't wnnt) nnd other stringent laws to compel tho open) tors to settle. Bosh! Wheie Is the Constitutional war rant for nny law compelling them to hire you to work If they don't want to? Ob, your leaders say, wo will amend the Con stitution to warrant such compulsory luws. Possibly they had better tnke a "squint" at the Constitution of the United Stutes und see If that would not have to be first amended also. There nre several things in thut good old Instru ment that the states are prohibited from doing, among which "ure the very laws your leaders aro fooling you about. ' nut suppose you could amend our stute Constitution to cover the case, where would you mlno workers "be nt" when It Is tlono? First, two legislatures must au thorize Iho amendments before they can be voted upon. This will take two and n half years nt lenst. Nor It this nil. Our state Constitution provides that "n amendment or nmendments shall be sub mitted oftener than once In five years," nnd ns two amendments nro to bo voted Upon ihU coming November, therefore no further amendment can bo submitted un til live yenrs from next November. Mean time, where would the mlno woi Iters bo who nre now on strlko7 Echo answers, "Wheri-?" nnd you were Moled again. Well, what more? In the breach now step the fools with tho proposition that the stnte conflicnto all the mlno property, nnd your mine lenders try to fool you with tho belief that Hint will frighten the operators Into term' and concessions. Am If such rot would frighten anybody, nnd apcclntly such a great lawyer as is Gcorgo F. Baer. All these mid scores of other proposi tions t might mention you have been fooled with, nnd nil with the same nn swer, "No Bitrrentler, no concessions," ex cept that you enn belong to n union or not ns" you please, Hint neither union or non-union men will ho discriminated ngnlnst, hud that nil grievances com plnlned of nt nny mlno will bo fully In quired Into nnd rectified with the em ployes nt that mine. Mny I hero hint Hie grrnt propriety of tho miners returning on tho old system while they can, Instead of waiting until tho new plnn of hilt ono miner to eight or ton chambers Is put In operation, when not to exceed one miner In' eight will ever agnln find a plitco in the mines except ns a laborer? Miners nnd mine workers, you have paid more money Into John Mitchell's union in initiation fees nnd dues than all tho concessions of 1!W0 over amounted to to you, Miners nnd mlno workers, through petty strikes and loss of tlmo through John Mitchell's uliion, figure up What a vdst sum you have lost In wages since IftOO. Miners and mine workers, to please John Mitchell and his union lead ers and to help them build houses, to ride in carriages and feed on tho fat of tho lnnd whllo you, your wives nnd chil dren stnrvo each and every one of you has now lost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars; and what have you got or what will you ever get for It? Nothing, abso lutely nothing, except debts piled up, mortgaged homes, your bank accounts and savings gone, nn empty dinner pall and a starving fnmily, When steady work and good wages were never better are'- you not quite oBhamod of your selves? Are you not about tired of being so fooled? An Individual Operator. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 18. HIS OPPORTUNITY CAME. A sudden gust of wind blow the hat from the head of tho giay-halicd passen ger In the hindmost seat of 'the street car nnd carried It scurrying over tho muddy rond far in the rear. He rose to grasp the bell rope, hut a prosperous-looking man sitting next to him grasped him by tho coat tall. "Don't do It," said tho prosperous-looking man. "Let it go. It was a straw hat, wasn't It?" "Yes," said the gray-haired passenger, "but great snakes, it's all I'vo got! What will I-" "My friend," interrupted tho other, whipping a small bundle from a sldo pocket and proceeding to open It out, "try this on." "What Is It?" "It's a twenty-dollar Panama hat. How does it fit?" "It fits well enough .but" "Then keep it, sir; keep it! Ever since my butler began to wear ono liko it I've been trying to glvo this one away, but nobody will havo it. It'll do to wear till you get down town, whero you can buy a decent strnw hat. No, I don't want any thanks. I regard this as u providential opportunity to get rid of tho thing. Does it go? All right.

William Connell, who has been renominated for congress in the Lackawanna district, has moro money than Professor Howell, his Democratic opponent; but what the latter lacks In cash he can make good In brains." The man who assumes that William Connell is lacking In brains proclaims himself a fool. m THE SONG OF THE SEA GULL.
