THE STRIKE SITUATION.

The Philadelphia Record OF today
says:
1.-The anthracite coal strike was
brought very much nearer to an end
by the action OF the individual opera
tors of the Lsckawsnns, Wyoming and
Lehigh districts, who decided to offer
the men 10 per cent. increase in wages,
a reduction in the price of powder to
81 Is. and to discuss other grievances.
The Delaware & Hudson and the Penn
sylvanis Coal Companies are willing to
agree to the same terms, and it Is prob
able that convention will be called by
President Mitchell for Wednesday.
President Mitchell fatty denied pub.
ished story to the effect that the strike
was planned by democrats for political
effect. The Lshigh Coal Company's
men, operating ten colieries 10 the
Panther Creek district, have decided to
continue work at the offered increase.

The Gold Democrats.

The Boston Post says: 1.-The
gold Democrats will be found
of the most part in support Of
Bryan and Stevenson at the
coming election. 1t is realized
that the nation is confronted by
immediate and vital issuses that
practically sweep from consid-
Grafton the financial question.
The Atlanta Journal says "this
is undoubtedly true. The gold
Democrats are coming to the
support of the Democratic ticket
more fully every day. The senti-
ment of the great majority of
those Democrats who supported
Palmer, who did not vote at all,
or who voted for Mckinley in
1896 was represented by the ma
tional committee of the goldwing
of the Democratic party when it
resolved not to put out a ticket
this year. A few newspapers
which took part in the bolt four
years ago are holding back and
sulking again, but the Demo
cratic press, like the Democratic
masses, is more harmonious than
it has been since 1892. If the
Republicans are counting on
Democratic dissension as an eff
fective factor in this campaign,
they are reckoning without their
host" We believe the Journals
estimate of the situation isabout
correct. Over here in South
Carolina all the gold Democrats
with a few insignificant excep-
tions are supporting Bryan and
Stevenson.

8issioasrses shauld ssaai Alone.


All Italian missionary wh6
has worked in China for many
years has advanced an opinion
concerning the responsibility of
the missionaries for the anti
foreign outbreaks, which has
attracted much attention and is
undoubtedly the correct view.
Being asked whether the mis-
sionaries were to blame for the
present trouble he replied.
':They are in a certain way re-
sponsible, but very indirectly.
There was a time in which they
were held in great consideration
esteemed and almost loved by
every Chinese. For instance, in
Pekin itself a monument was
raised in public square to a
missionery, Father Matteo Ricci,
who was called by the natives
Great One of China. At that
time the missionaries had not
behind them the protection OF
the powers. The knot of the
question is that the missionaries
should not be protected. They
should remain, really men of
sacrifice. With protection they
lose this attribute, because be-
fore they died as martyrs, and
now because they are Euro
peans. The protection Of the
powers consists in this, that the
affronts to missionaries serve to
their governments as pretexts to
put a foot into China. For in
stance, after the incident of
Monsignor Amer and the MUIR
der of three missionaries, Ger
many stepped into Chefoo. An
so naturally, the Chinese hate
the missionaries, as they now
reason that they are not religi-
Gus teachers, but spies with the
mission to prepare the ground
for the coming of the foreign
devils 1t is my opinion that
only the patient, slow and peace
full work of the missionaries,
abandoned absolutely to them
selves, can bring forth that i'm
mense land from barbarism.
But now all is undone, or worse,
and must be begun again in
more discouraging circum-
stances. We agree with the
Charleston Post that this state
ment appears incontrovertible.
The missionary must plant his
faith into the hearts of men by
persuasion and not by bullets.
If reason or prejudice causes
them to reject his teaching,
guns and lances are not going
to bring them to accept it ex-
cept in form. Creeds are not to
be spread by the sword but by
precept and example. The mis-
sionary to be truly successful
must depend on himself only.
He must have no political con-
nection. He must represent no
nationality nor trust to any hu-
man power. His world is re-
ligion and his stay is God.
