WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 20, 1900

MR.CHARLEs DENBY, OF Indiana, VINO
ia ont in a letter OF fulsome eulogy OF
President Mckinley, is a consistent pap
smoker. He has shown great talent 10
getting close to the kitchen. First,
Grover Cleveland picked him up for
Minister to China at q salary OF Sl2, 900
per annum. After four years Harrison
camein. DENLY managed some how to
keep his place. How he worked It
might supply an interesting story
Then after four years Cleveland came
in again, and DENLY secured four more
years of Office as Minister, making IN
all, twelve years as Minister and Sl44' .
600 salary. A minister can live pretty
we'll at Pekin on five thousand dollars
Der mum, and DENLY did not probably
spend hall oft. Here was saving OF
100000. This ought to have satlshed
DENLY. but when Mckinley came in he
managed to secure several fat jobs un'
der him as commissioner to the Philip
pines, the profits of which are yet un-
known. That DENLY should kiss the
hand that feeds him him is characters
tic. 1t is obvious from his letter that ne
wants another job. When Mr.. Bryan
comes ia as President it is a safe bet
that DENLY will come up smiling ana Dc
ready to give him his valuable support
for an Office. DENLY is sometimes call
ed General" With his military
achievements the public is not familiar.
Probably he was an officer OF high rank
in the "foraging" department. We be-
lieve be is still holding office under Nc
Kiuley. He says Mckinley has proved
himself equal to all the demands made
upon him. If he refers to the bestow-
al of patronage on Hessians, the re
mark is pretty nearly true.

The Coal Miners Strike,

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 29.-The prevail
ing sentiment among the miners OF this
section is decidedly against a strike
Old and conservative mine workers adj
nit that there are grievances which call
for immediate relief, still it is argued by
miners and business men that it is folly
10 attempt a successful fight with the
rich corporations with practically emp
~ treasury.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 20.-The sem
'iment of the people of the anthracite
coal regions is decidedly against q
strike ofthe miners. Conservative and
thinking miners, as we'll as the bust
ness community, consider the attempt
10 call the men out as a scheme of the
labor organizations OF the bituminous
coal fields to make further inrosds into
the hard coal market.
Tsmaqua, Pa, Aug. 20 The coal
strike, If ordered, will hardly sffect this
region. The miners of this district are
not organized and have no deleg ties at
the convention. Orders for a strike,
therefore, will not govern or affect
them. Some Of the men here have an
idea that the strike is being agitsted for
political effect in the presidential cam
paign.
There will be no mners' strike in the Ma
banOy City section even If ordered. The men
are satisfied with present conditions aud have
no grievances. miners mass meeting FIR
organization will be held tomorrow. CIV
Persell, an Indiana labor leader, arrived to-
day from Hszelton and is trying 10 arouse &C.
operation. The miners, however, are settled
in their position against strike.
Everything is in doubt in the mining
situation at Hszeltop, Pa. at present.
This in consequence of the efforts of
Rev. Father Phillips to avert the strike
and, it is generally believed, doubt will
be succeeded by confidence in the
priests ability to lead workers and
operators to an amicable adjustment OF
issues.
