TWELVE PAGES. SCKANTON, DUCEMBEll 22, 1002. The testimony of tho lust few days before the strike commission certnlnly ilcmonstrnlcs the nooil of "Peace on earth, good will among men." Rounded Up. ANEW industry has come to pass. It is a Democratic In dustry, a pulp trust.- It con sists, like many trusts, . of watered stock, but instead of the wat ering being figurative it Is literal. Cans containing ballots cast anil miscounted for Howell at the last election have been Hooded for the purpose of obliterating the proofs of crookedness. Not content to await tho throwing out process of u regular and fair investigation, the pro moters of this novel enterprise Have de Pirlpd to drown their frauds as they are accustomed to drown their sorrows, but with a different liquid. They have giv en a new exemplification of cold water politics. Our Prohibition i friends had better look to their laurels. Seriously, this Piinmore exhibit of Democratic high-handedness is only one of many accumulating proofs that the recent election of a congressman in this district was one of the most flagrant Instances of political misdoing in tho history of American politics. When the public learns ns In duo course it will, more of the details of the conspiracy by which the majority choice for con gressman was converted by perjured counting into "tin apparent 'minority choice, reputable citizens of all shades of political belief will applaud Con gressman Connell for undertaking to hunt this vicious conspiracy down. In the light of tho information in his pos session and daily increasing, he had no alternative but to contest the falsified result. To have acquiesced in such an unparalleled outrage upon the people would have been criminal cowardice. Tho contest will go to a finish and be unsparing. This is a 'debt owed to justice and the good name of the Am erican congress, and It will not be shirked. We. warn the, authors of this outrage that 'they cannot escape. The powers which established The Hague tribunal ought not to be unwil ling to give it something to do. Instructive. -l-UE TKwSTIMOS'Y of Dr. I Sprague, president of Wyoin- JL ing seminary, given on Sat urday before the strike com mission, certainly presents an interest ing subject of contemplation. The seminary had needed coal. It had bought coal from the Kingston Coal company. Dr. Sprague sent men to haul It. The men who ordinarily did tho hauling were on strike and they would neither haul it nor permit it to be hauled. Before the seminary could get coal," Which it had paid for, hauled from the 'breaker to its bins in order that It might give heat to students rooming in its dormitories, communica tion had to be held with John Mitchell, who graciously decided that if the coal had been mined before tho strike be gan, and if it should bo hauled by union teamsters, it might be hnuled. I'pon these conditions' these the high est authority then In North eastern Pennsylvania decided that which lias contributed so mightily to the upbuilding of tills region, need not be frozen out. In this Incident It seems to us' that wo have illustrated with peculiar vlv idness tho feature of tho labor union movement which weighs most heavily upon public equity. The law gave Dr. Sprague the right to haul the coal which he had bought and paid for. Tho law forbade any Interference by force or threats with the teamsters whom lie or his agent might have sent to tho breaker to secure that coal. Tho law neyc. clothed Mr, Mitchell with power tosay who should bo privileged nnd wMo should not be privileged to haul colli. If such u assertion of power had been made with reference to un'f luterstnto carder, not .only would Mr; Mi'ehei'rt. authority .hayo been ques tloiied', but In all probability tho doc trine ot mm-lnterferenco would havo bn alllrmed by the United States gov ernment as it alllrmed It lu Chicago when federal tropp's were used. Hut In place of the law we had a condition In which tho law was temporarily can celled and a personal dictatorship In effect, if not In Intent ornnme, put In itst stead. Is It necessary for labor's uplifting that the law of equal rights should bo suspended nlid such a form of nmrtlal law substituted? Cannot the just claims of workingnien. bo carried to u Successful consideration witnln the epfrt of the civil laws? And tmall not pujilta opinion, In the end, however cocdiul and strong Us sympathies for tliei wasc-iearner who seeks the better mtgU of-'hls condition,, demand tluit Ja bqf.unlcyis ntt ijiss "than capital unions Bl14.ll oliey the lay' 'and live wthlrrlts previsions under penalty of being ..re garded as outlaws? I. was onco,;a.;pliiclple of goverumvu.t in America that onu man's rights end where another's rights begin. We are oath to believe that the American peo- EXfrff :j loo ' w ' ' 1000 " I" -t'8 ' ' .. pie will consent to tho permanent nulll ilcatlon of this principle. Painter 1'otter, of Schenectady, who wits fired out of his union for liclomilng In tho National RUtinl, hits been rein stated under legal cotninil!on! hut It la nvMnnf from .the tenincr which his ense has revealed that his welcome hack will ,bo cold. On the same day a regi ment of the Louisiana guard had to he disbanded because It would not obey nn order to do strike duty. This sullen opposition to law Vuml order which seems to bo characteristic of largo num bers of men In tho labor unions of tho country Is nn ominous sign nnd It will have to be remedied If tho country would avoid serious trouble. The Carnegie Idea. T3 JM-jICITY has been given lo a rmnnr thnt Andrew Cnrneglo I Intended to give a million dollar birthday gift to his young daughter. Tito story is now au thoritatively denied and In the man ner of tho denial wo gain an interest ing insight Into Mr. Carnegie's mind. "Nothing," says tho announcement, "could be less In harmony with the Ideas of Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie than that their daughter should now, or ever, bo burdened with groat wealth. Least of all Is she to bo taught, while in youth, that she lias 'great expecta tions,' or any expectations at all be yond a moderate competence. Neither of her parents deems great wealth a desirable possession for the morning of life, or for any part of life, except as It may bo employed for tho ad vancement of the human race." Good doctrine, every word; yel how little Is it taught among the children of tho well-to-do. Almost our whole social, as well as commercial, fabric is bullded on the hypothesis that money is the chief aim and its possession the chief distinction In life, and while our boys are taught to acquire It as a re sult of cleverness in scheming, too many of our daughters are simultan eously encouraged to gain It by mar riage, placing it above other consider ations. A little of the homely old fashioned Scotch morality like Car negie's is very timely and exceedingly refreshing. Whether the world shall heed it or not, Us enunciation and prac tice in at least one conspicuous life will prove welcome if for nothing further than the sake nf contrast. The 150,000 employes of forty rail roads running west from Chicago, in demanding a twenty per cent, increase in wages before January ti, have tho good argument to offer that train loads, expenses of living and requirements of labor are increasing while company div idends are none the worse. Labor is entitled to Its share of the general pros perity, and it ought to be a liberal share Germany's Ultimate Intention. A N INTERESTING statement of conditions in Soutli America and of the interproatlons put unon them by United States citizens resident in Latin-America, la made in a letter to President Itoose velt and supplemented In an interview In the New York Sun by Emory C. White, a cousin of tho present gover nor of West Virginia and the head of a mercantile house which for twenty years lias had extensive ramifications throughout the southern half or our hemisphere. Mr. White says that Germany is making surprisingly rapid Inroads upon the trade of South America, formerly lnrcrelv controlled by English firms. Chile is Germanized to the extent that a German commands her army, there are German ' officers in her navy and the- financial "power behind the throne" Is a German power. Similarly German inlluenco is capturing control of Argen tina and has ulready secured strong foothold in Brazil. The business of these countries is done through Eng lish or German, but more especially German banks, which make double charges for handling American paper and in other ways do all they can to nroveut American competition. Tho carriers of merchandise In the.se cen ters of German Influence have devel oped a habit which results in tho open ing and rough handling of American consignments until, lu many instances, It is impossible for an American mer chant to deliver an unbroken package to bis Soutli American trade, no matter how carefully he packs it in this coun try. Furthermore, and as the chief count in his Indictment, Mr. White says that almost without exception the larger German population in South America Is ignorant of the United States, scorn ful of its representations and thor oughly convinced that the kaiser at tho proper time will knock holes' in tho Monroe doctrine and relegate the med dlesome Yankees to a subordinate place on the map. The general belief among these Germans, wo are tout, is mat it Is a patriotic duty for them to get lu position ns rapidly ns possible to render assistance to the fatherland when It sets forth to plant its fhigaud assort Its sovereignty over Chile, Argentina and ut least the southern provinces of Brazil. There are nearly a million able bodied Germans in South America, vho have had thorough military drill nnd wlui would In u. minute take un arms again if necessary to the fulfilment of their political hopes, Moreover, Mr. Wlille savs Unit Germany has had maps of strategic points carefully mado nnd plans of attack and defense all drawn with reference to eventualities in this quarter of the globe, lie is con vinced and says It is tho opinion of every observant American In South America that the present drift of tilings 13 directly toward a conlllct with Germany sooner or later, the one thing likely to avert It being such a develop ment of American naval strength as would cause Germany to hesitate to gp Into It. This is undoubtedly a representative opinion; and It Is probably not vio lating any confidence to sny that the recent inanocuyerH of our army and navy, which were plunned and executed upon a scale quite new, had In view us much the possibility of our becoming sometime involved with Germany us, any other single possibility calling for evolutions on so luige a basis. At the same lime, there is' u certu'ln recipe for continued peace with normally, nnd, Incidentally, with nil other powers. Thnt Is to be so thoroughly armed that neither Clermnny nor nny other power or probable combination of powers will daro over to lmsuml conclusions' with us. Tho principal of tho Syracuse high school favors taltlng mirrors out of school dressing rooms because of tho time wasted by girls In posing In front of them. Tho mltror nnd tho average young girl certnlnly form a combination which should bo hold within tho limits of moderation, Tho best acknowledgement which our government could make of tho dllllcill tles which have confronted it In South Amorlrn would bo double its order for new battleships. The largest battleship In the Gorman navy has Just been launched at Kiel. Just as good ships can bo built in Ant erica, Which, moreover, has the money to spare. If lu their next war the American people should bo caught unprepared, theywlll have noneto blame but them selves. As an arbitrator President Itoosevelt seems to bo leading a strenuous life, all right, NEW BOOKS. TIIK ART OF T1IR VATICAN. Hy -Mary Knight Potter. Illustrated. Hoslou; L. C. Pago & Co.
