how much more respect should the
American citizen entertain for our civil
rulers in whose election he actively par
ticipates, and who are the creatures
os his choice, and with what alaerity
he should fulfill the laws which are
framed solely for his peace and pro-
lection, and for the welfare Of the COM
monwealth.
Next to God, our country should
Hold the Strongest Place
in our affections. When We. reflect on
the inestimable blessings we enjoy
under our system OF government, when
we consider the civil freedom which is
shared by every citizen and the liberty
We possess of worshipping the God of
our fathers without let or hindrance;
when we consider the protection with
out espionage which surrounds our
person and property; when we reflect
on our unparalleled material prosper
ity and the facilities which are ac-
corded to every Industrious man to
earn competence, and that no citi-
zen is debarred by the Constitution
from competing for positions OF the
highest rank; when we reflect on all
this it should be our delight as wei
as our duty to do all in our power to
perpetuate our political institutions J
and to avoid any danger that threatens
to assail them.
In contemplating these blessings We
are not surprised to ind that every
American citizen is proud OF mis- coun-
try, her history and the record Of her
illustrious men. His loyalty is less
vehement and demonstratiYe than it
used to be, but after all that il is none
the less deep and earnest Perhaps it
is only when an American travels
abroad that he fully realizes how deep
rooted is his love for his native land
Ehe sentiment of patriotism whidIbi
may be dormant at home is aroused

Duty OF THE PEOPLE.
MAN SHOULD REGARD HIS VOTE As
ONE OF HIS CHRISTIAN PRIV
ILEGES.
A VERY APPROPRIATE SERMON
esterday Morning by the
Rev. G. w. Bent at the BenwOod
Methodist Church - He Exhorted
His Hearers TO Carefully Study the
Political Questions So That They
Might Vote IntelligentIy.

Rev. George w. Bent delivered a SER
mon of a political nature yesterday
morning to large congregation at the
Benwood Methodist Episcopal church,
taking for his subject, THE Polite
Church" The minister compared the
pursuits of political and business life
with the work of the church, and his
thoughtful remarks were appreciably
received.
He defined his subject as the wise
and sagacious church, and after re-
ferring to the significance of the text,
THE children of the world are in their
generation wiser than the children of
light" he said that if the conditions
existing then existed to-day the church
would have an opportunity to learn
something from the political and bus
mess world. Church people, like other
people. are too slow to learn useful
things from the people. Occasionally
some one in church affairs, like a Wes-
ley or Knox or a Williams, awakes
to the fact that there are better things
than have been in use. and the church
takes on a new life. The business Of
a child of this world is to get all the
money and all the comfort and all
the fun out of it he can for life
time The child of light is in this
world, but not OF it, While not ig-
noring the world. it aud what il con
tains are of secondary importance. He
uses it not simply for what It is, but
for the good he may get from it as
a stepping stone to the world OF which
he is a citizen.
"A man OF the world in politics and
business frequently shows more de-
cision of character. perseverance and
enthusiasm in his work than members
do in the work of the church.
The minister incidentally referred
to the political issues Of ,he day.
While he did not favor the introduce
ton of partisan politics into the pull
pit or in church affairs he considered il
a duty Of the people to carefully study
the political situation so that they
might become intelligent voters. He
said that a man should regard his vote
as one of his religious privileges and
that a church member is duty bound
to vote as he pIays He has 10 right
to vote forae parry Or man upon whom
ne cannot ask the blessing OF God. In
viewing the interest and enthusiasm
manifested by all classes of people in
this campaign, wherein it is shown
the people do not seem to be too old
nor too young to learn it or too ignor-
ant, to take some part in political
parades or demonstrations. We as chill
dren of light certainly ought to learn
a lesson from them with regard to the
interest of our Lords Kingdom. All
OF us should be as wise in interesting
and in 1uencing men for the salvation
of souls as are these people simply

Let the light of Thy Divine wis

to the preservation OF peace, the pro-
motion of national happiness, the in

us the blessings of equal liberty.
I'VE recommend likewise to Thy
unbounded mercy all our brethren and
fellow citizens throughout the United

Observance of Thy most holy law.

There were many inquiries at the
Register Office last night from employees
OF tin plate mills in this city and vicin-
sty relative to the outcome of the con-
ference in Pittsburg between represent
atives of the Amalgamation and the
American Tin Plate Company. Local
tin workers will rejoice in the news that
settlement has been reached upon
terms favorable to them, and that the
mills will start at once.
The details of the settlement are ex-
planned In the following special tele-
gram received by the Register last
night:
Special to the Register
PITT oBURG, Pa, September 1.-The
wage committee OF the AIpalgamated
Association OF Iron, Steel and Tin Work
eIS to-nig hit came to an agreement with
the officials OF the American Tin Plate
Company. The scale for the coming
year was signed by President Theodore
J. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and Warner Arms, second vice
president of the Tin Plate Company.
The tin mills will be started at once.
Twenty-Five thousand workmep who
have been idle for two months will now
go to work.
1t IS understood that the manufactur-
ers conceded the United States govern
ment standard OF the base weight, with
the exception of two or more guages, and
that the workers agreed to the scale OF
last year, which provides a basis OF
S4.25 per day of coke tin plates OF 100
pounds. With each advance In price of
10 cents per box the workers will be
given two per cent advance in wages,
and in case of reduction Of 10 cents
per box a decrease Of two per cent VIII
be stood. The concessions OF the man
ufacturers on the base weight will give
the workers a slight advance over last
year, and the settlement will be salts
factory all around for the workmen.
The workers were happy tonight, as
they have long since become disguised
with the prolonged idleness, and the
announcement will be good news to the
men of every district in which combine
plants are located. 1t was feared early
in the day that settlement would be
improbable.
President Shaffer will now arrange
conferences with the independent tin
plate manufacturers 10 discuss the sign
ing OF the scale by them.
