BESSEMER GLAD
 STRIKE IS ENDED The People Now Want to Have
 a New County
A BIG MASS MEETING HELD
Committee ot Citizens Appointed to Assume Charge of the Move- ment and Ascertain the
 Peoples Wishes

Bessemer November 4.-(Special. 1.-TWO important events occurred yesterday of deep interest to Bessemer. The calling off of the strike of this place and at Ensley by the executive committee of the Amal- gumated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and preparations by the management of the rolling mill to re- sume work on Monday. Superintendent Pritehard says the plate mill will start up anyhow on Monday, and the other mill just as soon thereafter possible.
 The strike was called off without any conference with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
 The other event was the large and en- thusiastic mass meeting of citizens to in- auguarte the movement for the establish ment of a new county. There was an unusually large attendance of both resi- dents of the city and country. The fol- lowing resolution adopted unanimously, in- dicates the purpose of the people
 Whereas, It is the sense of the people of the territory within the bounds of the proposed new county, in mass meeting as- sembled at -Bessemer, this Sd day of Mo- vember, 1900, that the time is suspicious and the conditions favorable for the inau- guratl0n or means ana measures to secure the establishment by legislative enactment of a new county out of the territory, the description of which is published in the call for this meeting.
 Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That an execu- tive and managing committee of twenty five members be selected from said terri tory of which five shall constitute a quo- rum to transact all necessary business, whose duty 1t shall be to take supreme charge of said movement for the forma- tion of said new county, to raise means outline plans and methods of procedure, appoint sub-committees and agents, employ canvassers, have the proper legislation pre- pared, and secure the formal expression of the wishes of the people upon the subject and to do all and such further acts may be necessary to consummate the object of this meeting this meeting hereby ratifying and confirming any and all this committee may do.
 Steps were taken to raise the necessary finances and start the work of prepara- tion without delay

COMING AS 4 PoIJTIcIAN.

Unless the Washington correspondent
of the G b e is at fault the people of
the Northwest are destined to witness
another swing aound the circle" by our
good Chistian national executive. He
will come we are informed, in the spring,
when human thought is supposed to
run lightly to love, to spout politics. In
other words, the mission of the good man
is ito enlighten the voters
Under the pretense of welcoming the re-
turning volunteers President Mckinley
last summer started out on an ante-elec-
ton stumping tour. 1t was pure patriot
ism, of course, We were assured, which
had dragged him away from his desk at
the White house. But it was found that
1t was malignant type of party bitter
ness which tipped his tongue in all he
had to say to the homecoming soldiers.
He had no compunctioa about resorting
to what was no better than an isnoble
party political trick; and he very clearly
showed what the patriotism Of the aver
age imperialist politician consists of be-
fore he had gone far in the completion
of his itinerary.
Nowhere else did the president violate
the proprieties and decencies of the occa-
sion so openly, perhaps, as during his So
journ in these two cities When Gov. Lind
felt compelled to interfere, as he did, it
ic,
one. At this distance of time the perusal
of President McKinleys speech of SOCIAL
ed welcome creates surprise that any man
possessed of the instincts of a man Of re-
finement, as it Is assumed the president
possesses them, could have been guilty of
the plain violation of hospitality and good
taste which that speech reveals.
1t is pleasant to reflect that there is no
such false pretense INDUCED in on this
occasion. If the president comes to the
Northwest during his contemplated jour
ney to and from San Francisco, he comes
avowedly as any other imperialist poll
tician might come-to spout. He must di-
vest himself of his character of chief ex-
ecutive of this people if he comes here In
any such mission. He will not be permit
ted to do as he did so fagrantly last sum-
mer. when he so deftly transformed an
occasion which had wrought on the feel
ings and sympathies of an entire nation
into an opportunity to make political cap
ital for himself and the band of rnerce-
naries with whom his administration Is
identified in the minds of large pro-
portion OF the American people.
The city of st. Paul can we'll afford
to dispense with the presence of even the
president of the United States when he
chooses beforehand to cast aside all that
renders his office an object of popu ar love
and veneration.

LETT MIR. GAGE RESIGN.

Secretary Gage has so far yielded to
the demands of an aroused public senti-
ment that he has abandoned the deposit
in the Standard Oil bank. of New York,
known by the corporate name of the City
National, of his $1,000,000 daily He had
given that institution the benefit of
trifie of $17,250,0O0 in deposits before he
came to an understanding of the truth
that the alliance between the treasury de-
partment and that particular bank did not
meet with enthusiastic public applause
Now that Mr.. Gage has come into at
least partial possession of his senses, the
following provision of the United States
revised statutes does not appear to him
to be 50 much matter Of remote con-
sideration as it did ten days ago:
mo person appointed to the office Of
secretary of the treasury, or first comp
troller, or first auditor, or treasurer, or
register, shall directly or indirectly be
concerned or interested in carrying on the
business of trade or commerce, or be the
owner in whole or in part of any sea
vessel or purchase by himself or by an
other in trust for him any pubic lands
or other public property, or be concerned
in the purchase or disposal of any public
securities of any state, or of the United
States.
mo. person appointed to the Office of
secretary of the treasury shall
be concerned in the purchase or
disposal of any public securities Of any
state,or of the United States" That is the
language. 1t is plain enough. Even If
the palpable defiance of all good taste and
just perception of the prophecies of pub
lie life were not sufficient to prevent any
banker whatever from going to the head
of the fiscal department of the govern
ment, this provision of the federal stat
utes certainly cannot be ignored.
Secretary Gage was president of the
First National Bank of Chicago at the
time of his appointment He resigned, of
course No doubt. Apart from every
other consideration, it was necessary to
| do so, in order to prevent the plain ap-
plication of even the letter of the law to
his case. Great men like Mr.. Gage are
not wont to stand on trifles such as the
spirit of the law in any direction. Hence
it was conceded the resignation was all
that was required. But it now transpires
that in the list of stockholders of the
First National Bank of Chicago, publish
ed last June and submitted to the board
of assessors of Chicago, Secretary Gage
was down for 700 shares of the stock of
that bank Since then no notice of pub
LEGATION of their transfer has been given.
Many of us remember the sensation that
was created many years ago when the
nomination of A T. Stewart for secretary
of the treasury by President Grant was
withdrawn because of the existence of
the provision of law above quoted.
The proper thing for Mr.. Gage to do
under all the circumstances is to resign
his office. If he does not, his removal
will be in order. The office which A.
T. Stewart could not hold under the law
he has plainly been holding in violation
Of both law and morals.

the recommendation by hurriedly APP
proving a resolution which puts an end
to the insurance fund and transfers the
$4,000 represented by that fund to the

was to recommend that $4,000 of that
amount be used for school building pur-

under the operation of the very pro-
vision of the city charter which the
comptroller quotes to his newspaper or.
gan for The enlightenment of poorly
informed public
In the mysterious dispensations of the
city administration under the Repubh-
can machine one is naturally at a loss
to comprehend just why the Republican
council should fly in the face of the city
charter and of its great expounder, Nc.
Cardy, by doing as it has done. There
is no longer any surprise to be felt by
anyone as to any action or recommended
ton of the improbable Mr.. McCardy. Of
course And so he may be dismissed
from the proposition, at least in it's.
present bearings. But what can we
say for the council and the mayor? What
are they driving at in going in direct
opposition moi only to McCardy, but to
the advice and opinion of the city's legal
adviser, Mr.. Markham?
McCardy has declared that every dol
lar of that $4,000 was taken from the
general fund. The city attorney IN
sists that there is no authority to take
dollar from the general fund for the
support Of the schools. In his sugges-
ton that the insurance fund be used for
school purposes Mr.. Markham express
ly declared that he assumed that that
fund was not derived from that source.
OF course the assumption was false,
whether or not Mr.. Markham knew it
when he made it.
For all practical purposes, then, Nc
Cardy and Markham are in agreement.
/ But look at where they stand respective
ly with reference to the council. NC
Cardy says he will not make the transfer
| of that $4,000 to the school fund until
the courts order him to do so. If the
! courts are to so order him, it will only
be after Mr.. Markham has applied to the
courts to do so. Will Mr.. Markham
do the bidding of the council and the
mayor and apply for mandamus to
| compel McCardy to do what he mark
/ ham) has advised the council they have
no legal authority to do? That is a
conundrum which of course it would re-
cuire mind profoundly schooled in the
mysteries of the Republican machine to
give the answer to.

can distinguish the lineaments of the
