First Anniversary of His Death Fit
tingly Obse-vsd.
Canum, O.. s?tji:. U. Yesterday
there was a general 'servanco of Me
Kinley Memorial Day in the city which
claimed l.iui as its own. From almost
very pulpit there was a reference in
rrayrr or in address, to him and his
work. l!is favorite hymns were used.
There was no attempt at decoration
ether than to have the portraits of
McKlnley draped with Hags and sur
rounded with choice flowers. The ad
dress that attracted most attention
bere was that given by Judge William
e R. Day. former secretary of state, and
a friend and adviser of McKlnley for
many years. The address was deliv
ered in the First M. F. Church, of
which Mr. McKlnley was a member,
and In which the public funeral was
eld September in. liiul. The only
decorations were Bowers ami a por
trait of the late president, around
which were the folds of the Stars and
Stripes, emblematic of the patriotic
spirit of McKlnley.
In the Catholic churches of the city
pedal mass was said; tribute was al
so paid by some of the priests to the
memory of McKlnley, because, having
known him personally, fhey could not
forbear. Although deeply conscious
the Tact that it was just one year
ago that her beloved husband died,
Mrs. McKlnley did not vary the pro
gram followed by her for several
months. All days to her have been
memorial days. F-r usual trip to
West Lawn Cemetty -vis taken yes
terday morning, and fhe laid love's
offering of flowers on the casket that
' contains the remains of the nation's
martyred chief. 1

ME FUND OF LABOli
That is What the Republican Part;
Has Shown Itself. -
LABOR LAWS OF FORTY YEARS
Cewing Women, Miners, Motormen,
Slate Pickers, Children, All Classes
of Bread Winners, Are Protected By
Laws Passed Ey Republican Legis
latures. From Our Own Correspondent
Philadelphia. Sept. 16. One of the
most important features of the pres
ent campaign will be a show in? of the
part that the Republican party has
played in the life of the workingman
of Pennsylvania. It is a marvelous
showing.
The present reign of prosperity,
shared alike by every toller, whether
It be in mill, forge, factory or on the
farm, can be traced to the wise and
beneficent working of national laws
enacted alike for the protection of la
bor and capital. The Republican par
ty in the nation has ever been the
staunch friend of the worklngman.
The Republican party In the state has
emphasized this by enacting laws cov
ering a period of 35 years, for the com
fort, convenience and protection of
the working man and woman. There
has been compiled within the past
week a complete list of labor laws
passed in Pennsylvania by Republican
legislatures since the close of the Civil
War that Is one of the most remark
able things of its kind in existence.
Pennsylvania leads every state In
the character of Its labor legislation.
Nearly 100 bills directly affecting the
men, women and children of th3 utite
who earn their living by the sweat of
their brows have been enacted In the
past ,3.1 years.
WOMAN AND THE SEWING MA
CHINE. At the close of the Civil War Indus
trial and commercial enterprises were
In a more or less chaotic state. Thou
sands of widows, mothers and (laugh
ters of soldiers were compelled to eek
out a living as seamstresses and dress
makers. One of the first laws passed
by the legislature of 1809 was an act
to exempt Bewing machines belonging
to seamstresses from levy and sale on
execution or distress for rent
At this time the great anthracite
coal regions of the state were just be
ginning their period of development
There were practically no laws look
Ing to the protection of human life In
the mines, and It was a Republican
legislature that took up this subject
at this time, and during all of the suc
ceeding years has passed laws whose
object has been the protection of life
and limb of the toilers in the darkness
of the mine.
On page 852 of the pamphlet laws of
1S69 will be found one of the first min
ing laws enacted, entitled "An Act for
the Better Regulation and Ventilation
of Mines, and for the Protection of
the Lives of Miners in Schuylkill
County."
This wns only the beginning. It
was followed by a general law for the
safety and health of persons employed
in coal mines, passed in 1870. In the
same year laws were passed for the
protection of miners In various coun
ties of the state.
In !?7? an act for the better protec
tien ri the wages of mechanics, miners,
laborers nnd others was passed, as
well ns a bill providing "For tho Es
tablishment of a Bureau of Statistics
on tho Subject of Labor and for Other
Purposes." (P. L. 1S72, page 59.)
In all the years up to the present
there have been numerous similar en
actments. In 1872 one of the most Im
portant measures ever enacted into a
law, the record of which can bo found
In tho pamphlet laws for 1872, on page
1.175. was the net to relieve laborers,
workingmcn and journeymen from
certain prosecutions and indictments
for conspiracy under the criminal laws'
of the commonwealth. This act has
conserved the liberty of thousands of
wnge earners In Pennsylvania In the
past 20 years.
PROTECTING BREAD WINNERS.
It was the Republican party In the
legislative session of 1874 that passed
a law In relation to suits for wages,
preventing stay of execution on judg
ments obtained for 1O0 ot less.
It was a Republican legislature that
appropriated the first money to aid In
tho erection and maintenance of an
anthracite hospital In Pennsylvania.
This was in 1874.
England, with all its boasted civili
zation of centuries. Is away behind
Pennsylvania in the protection of
women and children In their employ
ment. South Carolina today is a blot
on the map of the south because of
its absence of laws prohibiting the
employment of children, and Its lax
legislation regarding the employment
of women In various Industries. In
1878 one of the most stringent laws
enacted by any legislature related to
the employment of females In hotels,
taverns, saloons and eating houses or
other places for the sale of Intoxicat
ing and other drinks. It was a Penn
sylvania Republican legislature that
passed a law prohibiting female labor
in and about the coal mines and manu
factories thereof, and for the preserva
tion of the health of female employes
in manufacturing, mechanical and
i mercantile establishments.
All through the years in which the
Republican party has been in power in
Pennsylvania It has endeavored to see
that full and ample Justice has been
done by employers, whether firms, cor
po rations or Individuals, to the cMsena
of the state In their employ. It was at
the aewion of 1S78 that a law wu pass
ed fixing the standard weight of a bush
el of bituminous coal. It was during
the session of 1881 that the law was
passed securing to operatives and la
borers engaged in ' and about coal
mines, manufactories of Iron and steel
and all otaer manufactories, the pay
ment of their wages at regular Inter
vals and In lawful money of the United
States.
REGULAR PAY DAYS.
This is one of the most important
laws ever enacted. Midd'ged men
today remember the condit. J9 that ex
isted prior to the passage of this act
Employes, often of largo concerns,
were frequently deprived of their earn
ings tor from 30 to 60 days; often only
paid In part and frequently with script,
store orders or other alleged equiva
lents of value. The passage of this
law made compulsory the payment to
every employe, every working man
and woman, the wages due him or her
In lawful money of the country ar.d at
stated Intervals.
Every field of labor has been covered
by Republican laws enacted by Repub
lican legislatures. The law limiting
the hours of labor of conductors, driv
ers and employes of horse, cable nnd
electric railways, was passed by the
legislature of 1887. The legislature of
that year struck the final blow at child
labor in this Btate by prohibiting the
employment of any child under tne
age of 12 years by any Individual, firm
or company, to do any work in any
mill, manufactory or mine, or any
work pertaining thereto.
Gotng a step beyond the mere enact
ment of laws protecting coal miners,
the assembly of 1889 enacted the law
compelling the examination of miners
In the anthracite region for the .pur
pose of preventing the employment of
Incompetent persons in those mines.
The factory law of the state which
regulates the employment and provid
ed for the safety of women and chil
dren in mercantile industries and man
ufacturing establishments, and to pro
vide for the appointment of inspectors
to enforce this law, became operative
through the action ot the legislature of
1889.
ALL CLASSES PROTECTED.
So the long line of beneficial laws
might be continued. Hue toifer in the
tenement house, the woman in the
store, the mechanic at the bench, the
young woman at the cigar table, the
worker In the mine, the puddler In the
mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort
convenience and protection they have
to the wisdom of Republican legisla
tors and the efforts of Republican
statesmen.
It is understood thit one of the bat
tle cries of the Democracy this fall Is
to be the declaration that the Republi
can party has done little or nothing
for the working num. It Is false,
wretchedly false, as tho Pamphlet Laws
df Pennsylvania demonstrate in all the
publications from 1865 to 1902.
THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS
The Convention at Erie This Week
and Some of Its Novel Features.
The State- League of Republican
Clubs, which is holding its annual
convention in Erie this week, Is one
of the most unusual gatherings of Its
kind ever assembled within the bor
ders of the state. The attendance Is
larger, as indicated by the number of
special trains engaged than ever be
fore In the history of the league. The
enthusiasm Is greater because of tho
novelties that have been Introduced
Into the campaign.
Perhaps the most striking of these
is a great ball marked with Pennsyl
vania's record of Republic: ' patriot
ism and carrying the pi'tures of
Presidents McKlnley and Koosevelt,
Judge Pennypacker and the Republi
can 'candidates of this year, which is
being taken to Erie on a special car
and from there is to be rolled back
wards across the state to Philadel
phia. The Idea, which was evolved
from the fertile brain of a couple of
Philadelphia Republicans, Joseph M.
Huston and J. Hampton Moore, city
treasurer of Philadelphia, Is that at
the border of each county a number
of Republicans representing that coun
ty shall take the ball In charge, roll
It along the highways to the borders
of the adjoining county, where it will
in turn pass into other hands, and so
on through the state.
It 13 expected that this novel spec
tacle will attract thousands to the
line of the ball's progress and excite
universal enthusiasm among the Re
publicans of the state.
Read This, Republicans.
This contest 13 no mere local affair.
It is national in its scope. A victory
for Democracy In Pennsylvania would
send a shiver along the spinal column
of the Republican party of the United
States. Twice has Mr. Pattlson been
elected governor, and twice, at the suc
ceeding national elections, has a Demo
crat occupied the White House. We
all remember with what dire results
the last Cleveland administration was
accompanied. We had the soup house
where those who were turned from the
doors of the closed mills were driven
for food. The Inquirer opened dis
tributing depots for bread, and for
weeks yes, for months the distri
bution continued. This was what the
lolly of the people In electing a Demo
cratic president made necessary.
Could we look with confidence to a
continuation of prosperity under a new
Democratic administration? By no
means. One experience ot that dis
mal sort Is enough. Then why Invite
disaster by turning Pennsylvania over
to the Democrats and sending a chill
throughout the Union? Philadelphia
Inquirer.
