WAITING.

For the most of Us, the next
six or more months Will be period
of waiting. 1t will be very anxious
waiting too. There is much work
to be done, in this country where
events are created, and work of the
highest order too. The condition
of waiting is one of irritation, an
noyance and Impotence.
1t Is over four years since the
first treaty of annexation was sub
mitted to the Senate, and, in few
days, was passed over to the consid-
Grafton of another session. Again,
substantially the same treaty has
been submitted to the Senate, and
again, passed over for the consider
alton of another session.
The first treaty faced hostile
force, the woods alive with enc
mics. The second treaty passes
over to friendly hands, and with
less aggressive enemies before it.
This is the perfectly natural logic
of events. Americas relations to
Hawaii are no hap-hazard affair,
created, living and dying in the
same dav or hour. Events move
in a spiral form, but always in
clining upward What McKin-
ley and Sherman say, is only the
repetition of what Webster and
Marcy said half century ago.
President Mckinley says it, be-
cause he stands in the line of Sue
cession in political ideas. Events
made his speech. They made also
the speeches of the older states
men.

tees of the University. During the
presidential campaign of 1896,
President Andrews expressed him
self still more forcibly in an open
letter espousing the free-silver
cause. 1t is claimed by the trus-
tees of the University that many
valuable requests which were ex-
pected have been lost, because of
the Presidents views 1t cannot
be denied that President Andrews
has had a great influence in build
ing up the University. In 1889,
when he was invited 10 the presi-
dency he found less than three hun
dred names on the list of students.
he found conservative ideas predo-
in the management. He
has been instrumental IN making
valuable additions to the faculty
and in securing funds for new
buildings. He has seen the num-
Der of students increase until now
there are nearly eight hundred. In
many other ways the University
has prospered, largely through the
personal influence of its president
Should he resign, President An
drews will be asked to run as the
Democratic candidate for Senator
from Rhode Island.

Tt is a simple and resistless law
of human growth, which creates
these political relations. lntelli-
gent work hastens it, for whatever
makes the commercial, or social, or
political relations of men broader,
hastens all growth.
Therefore there must not, and
should not be any Encouragement,
or throwing up hands now, and
hereafter, "All things come to
those who wait" This strength in
waiting and working, this power of
stability in shifting sands, this
holding of a steady helm in cross
currents is the prerogative of the
Teutonic race. We claim to be on
the picket line of this great race,
and must hold it with patient
tenacity.
The most demoralizing condi-
ton of an army is when it halts,
and waits for battle. Movement
fixes the mind, waiting demoralizes
it. The test of its complete organi-
cation is in It's capacity to wait, and
abide the events, which it cannot
master. but which involve its own
safety.
But we are not the only ones I'M
der the penalty of waiting. The
people of the Great State, with
which we seek union, have now
been waiting for commercial pros
perity for nearly five years. 1t has
not come, and there are even cries
of despair, the cry of the long
suffering.
Our own prosperity comes from
those who themselves see no sign
of relief. We can therefore, with
considerate patience, await their
action, even if its hurts US sorely,
and sets us to asking, is ''hfe worth
iving?''
But there may be crime in wait
ing only, if there is work to be
done. And there is a great deal to be
done on our behalf, in the shaping
and the consummation of political
union with the greater Republic.
Conditions have changed, with
out act of ours. Annexation and
reciprocity, or its equivalent, are
in the same boat. We cannot quar-
rel with the conditions, or we take
the worst of it.

A ccnrdinO to the New York Z

According to the New York pa
pers it is probable that President
Andrews of Brown University will
be forced to resign because of his
pro-silver views. 1t is not unusual
for college president to take an
active interest in politics. Presi-
dent Andrews was closely identi-
fed with bimetallism even before
he was appointed by President Gle
veland on the monetary commits
sion in 1898. His views became
well known at that time and were
received with disfavor by the trus-

STRIKE OF THE COALMISERs.

The strike Of the bituminous
coal-niners of Pennsylvania and
the middle West, for a restoration
of wages, Is another indication of
the great power which lies in or
gained labor. The spectacle Of two
hundred thousand men, solemnly
protesting against a condition which
as individuals, they are powerless to
change, commands the instant at
tention of social economists. Were
their claims unreasonable, they
would at least be worthy of some
consideration. When, as in the
present case, the strikers have APP
parently just cause for complaint,
their protest assumes an added dig
nifty. For nearly twenty years the
miners in these regions have been
subjected to a reduction in wages.
In 1880, they were receiving %
cents a ton for their coal, in 1895,
they were receiving 90 cents.
Since 1895, they have suffered
further reduction of over % per
cent. Decline in prices and gen
eral business depression have been
the reasons assigned for this sweep
ing reduction.
When capital fails to recognize
the equitable demands of labor, the
inevitable result is a straining of
the relation of the one to the other.
The readjustment is often attended
with violence and suffering.
When the wage-earner fails to re-
ceive enough in return for his labor
to provide food for himself and his
family, when at the end of the year
he finds himself indebted to his
employer for the clothes which he
has already worn out, for the other
necessities which have already been
consumed, he cannot be convinced
by argument or statistics that there
is any justice in the demands of
economy for a change from midi
vidual to centralized ownership and
control. He sees only the relent-
! lessness of the transition and is
overcome with bitterness in the
struggle against it. Such has been
the condition of some of the miners
in Ohio. Since early spring they
have received an average of $5.74
each week as wages. Theirs is
said to be a fair sample of the con-
dition of the miners in that local
| itv. The strike means for them a
further loss of wages but it seemed
to be the only solution of the diff
Guilty. Previous demands for re-
storation of wages had been met
with further reduction When
every attempt had been unsuccess-
full, a resort to this method was the
only alternative. The prospects
are that the present strike will be
settled by arbitration. Coming as
it does at the opening of the cam
paign for the fall elections, the time
was opportune for the acceptance
of the demands of the miners. But
nothing can efface the memory of
the struggle during the past fifteen
years.

TUESDAY, SEPT. H.-Justice Cox, OF the Dis
trict Supreme Court, dismissed the bill of
complaint of John G. Wood, Superintendent
of Mails at Louisville, praying that Post
master-G General Gary and Assistant Post
master General Heath be enjoiued from re-
moving him from Office. The case has been
considered in the nature of test of the
power of removal. IN brief the court con-
cluded that it was not within the power of a
court OF equity to grant relief in matters Of
appointment and removal from office; that
apart from the Civil Service. act the Post
master General had the authority TO remove
the complainant from office at his pl asnre /;
that this act made no change in this respect,
except to forbid removals for refusal to con-
tribute to partisan objects; that the power
given to the Commission and the President
to establish rules to carry that act into effect
did not authorize any rule which should
make a change i'll the law in this respect
and, consequently, that even if the court had
jurisdiction in case like the present one,
the complainant was not entitled to the re-
lief prayed.
