GEN. J. p. S. GoBIN of Lebanon,
Pa, was elected commander-in. chief
of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. Cincinnati was selected as the
place for the next encampment.
The defeat of Col. Isaac F. Mack of
Sandusky was decisive. Col. Mack
made hard campaign, and was
beaten by the movement to take
the encampment to Cincinnati. The
oldsOldisrs thought the union was
TOO large to let one staSe have both
honors. He is veteran Of prom.
inence and popularity, and will be
relied on to carry the honors of his
now Office with dignity and credit
TO the organization. He was one
of the old soldiers who fought their
way up from the ranks to positions
of distinction. Born in Pennsyl-
vanla about sixty gears ago, he set
out to become lawyer, but cast
aside all question of business when
the war broke out. He was with
Sheridan in the Shenandoah cam
paign, and it was there he won his
spurs as leader of dash and ability.
Ii not as widely known as some Of
the leaders who have held the COM
mander in chiefs position in the
past, he has at least won promi-
neRce both politically and IN a
military way which will secure him
confidence and esteem.

In responding to the toast, "Our
Country" at the Grand Army
banquet at Buffalo, N. Y, Presi-
dent Mckinley said: "What de-
tenders, my countrymen, have we
now? We have the remnant of this
old, magnificent, matchless army Of
which | have been speaking, and
then, as allies in any future war, we
have the brave men who fought
against us on southern battle fields.
The army of Grant and the army
Of Lee are together. They are now
of one faith-in hope, in fraternity,
in purpose and in invincible patriot
ism-and therefore the country is
in no danger. In justice strong, in
policy secure and in devotion to
the flag all one" Coming from the
president of the United States, who
is himself u union veteran, these
ardent words cannot fail to elicit a
cordial response from every loyal
citizen of the south. But the words
of the chief executive are no less
significant than the hearty echo of
applause which they called forth
from the old veterans, and the south
responds to the generous senti-
ments expressed at the banquet in
the same noble spirit. May the
day soon come when the animosi-
ties begotten of the late war shall
cease entirely to estrange the two
great sections of our country, and
when tie whole American people
will be one in heart and purpose as
they are one in blood and destiny.

The wild talk about sternly REFRESHING
anarchy and socialism is neither judicious
nor sensible. Remove the causes which
make socialists and anarchists and the
disease will sappear-Regisler,
Nonsense There Is a certain brand of
socialism that has humane basis and
when we all get to be angels and are of
one ideal disposition 1t may succeed;
but when our neighbor talks about re-
moving the cause of anarchlsm 1t ex-
hfbits inexcusabie thoughtiessness So
cIalism Is not anarchisn, nor is It to be
compared with 1t. To remove the cause
OF anarchism would be to do the very
thing the militant or radical anarchists
advocate, namely to abolish all govern
ment no matter what the form or degree
of perfection.
The watchword OF the militant anar-
chist Is Down with government,"-not
any particular government but all gov
ernments. Modern socialism Is not so
extreme as all that, but aims in a mis-
taken way to establish new order of
government The objection TO II is thar
1t is impracHcable. visionary, and in
wolves an evolution of human nature that
would not occur In a thousand years.
The violent militant anarchist who
would destroy all government and who
Is the avowed enemy OF law and order,
and whose weapon Is not the ballot, but
the firebrand the knife and the pistol

lister mean when It says remove the
cause OF anarchism?" Would 1t do so
by granting the anarchist what he de-
n,ands-the connscatlon of all property,
the death Of all owners of wealth and
the abolition of all law for the protection
of society? Did the Register ever meet
q real live militant anarchist? Social
lists there are among US, but they do not
deserve to be placed In the category
With anarchlsts. The very meaning Of
the term anarchist, which the militant
anarchists proudly apply to themselves,
Is enough. We do not refer to the mIlder
type known ns philosophical anarchists,

The miners and the labor leaders whu
are engaged in trying to induce en-
ployed miners to join the sympathy
strike Are conducting peaceable plan
OF campaign which they regard as the
only effective means of gaining the i'm
proved conditions for which they are
struggling, Whatever the opinion OF
any one may be as to the wisdom or
effectiveness OF sympathy strikes, al
will give the men engaged In the under
taking credit for a sincerity of purpose,
There is one kind OF sympathy strike,
however, which Is just now being en-
gagged In, but the advlsabllty of which
does not appear. Reference is made. to
the closing of mill mines from which no
coal is shipped to the general market,
and, therefore, does not compete with
the product OF the mines involved In the
strike. As they are conducted simply
for the purpose OF supplying coal to the
mills that own them, we fail to see how
their closing can have any effect In
forcing settlement of the general strike,
The only effect II can have will be to
cause the mills depending upon them to
close and to throw out of work temper
ariy several thousand mill workers and
factory hands, who are giving moral
support and financial assistance to the
destitute miners who are struggling for
fair wages.
1t deprives the mill workers of the
means that enable them to continue
this assistance which they are now
cheerfully contributing, or have been
pledged to contribute through the off,
cIals OF their own organization. By
keeping the private mill mines at work
the strike leaders would be keeping at
work, not alone miners who are not fur
nlshlng coal to the markets affected by
the strike, but also the employees OF the
mills who can prove a powerful aid in
the financial support of the strike.
This is the way the matter strikes
many disInterested people who sincerely
and heartily desire to see the striking
miners succeed in their great struggle
for the betterment of their condition and
increase of wages.
