Not More Than 1000 or 10000
Will Strike.

wiikesbarre, Pa, Sept. 8.-(spD-
Now that the miners here have heard
the operators refusal to grant their
demands, and know that the United
Mine Workers will order a strike, they
do not feel as satisfied as their talk
of the last week would indicate. While
a majority will obey the strike order,
the men at each coI1iery are asking
what will the others do. There is gen.
ernl distrust among the men, a fear
that the strike will not he a general
one and that the men of one COM
pany may remain at work while the
others strike. There is general feel
ing that il would be wise TO wait and
see how eagerly the strike call is obey
ed. This will result, it Is expected,
in a slow response to the order, and
it may take several days to make the
strike general. or the 100000 mine
workers in this region, perhaps not
more than $4,000 or 10000 will strike
los xNrbt oh to hn Hpt tn
and the leaders fear that lack of
a general response will injure their
prospects of success.
Men whose business keeps them in
close touch with the situation place
the limit of the strike at six weeks
and many give it less than month
and prophesy n defeat for the miners
All the big companies have their yards
well stocked and many of the indi
vidual operators have enough coal on
hand to fill their percentage of the
sales for nine months. This is the re
suit of steady work of the severa
months past, during which the opera
tors were quietly preparing for thu
strike Consequently the operators
are In excellent condition to undergo

RAPID GROWTH.

Akron has far outstriped her sister
growth. In 1890 Canton's population
was &c, ,1S9. This year it is 30,667, a
gain of ITO per cent. In 1890 Ak
ron's population was 27,60l. This
year it is 42,72s, gain of 54.s1 per
cent.
In 1880 the population of Akron was
1882, the increase during the ensuing
decade having been 1859, of 6T.1S
per cent.
BY WARDS.
BY wards the population this year is
as follows:
First 4934.
Second, 4,6i
Third, 6,3T0.
oN'th' ''S'''
Fifth, s,517.
Sixth, 4,613.
Not In wards, 4,74O.
Unless Youngstown and Springfield
have made gains of about 80 and 80
per cent respectively since 1896, Ak
ron will stand sixth in the list of Ohio
cities in point of population. Ten
years ago Youngstown contained 33,-
300, and Springfield 81 ,S05 inhabitants
respectively. Canton is the ninth city
In numerical strength in the State.
ESTIMATES TOO HIGH.
During the days that the annexa-
tion was pending in the City Council
there were various estimates made
as to the number of inhabitants that
would be added to the population of
Akron. 1t was claimed that 1t would
not fall below 5000. The report of the
census department shows that this
was too high. The number of people
taken in by annexation was 4,740.
tNnyIpUiIl N4'kDn IEAnS
1t is interesting to note the slight
difference between some of the wards
There was close race between the
Fourth and Fifth wards for the leader
ship. 1t was won by the Fourth
which shows n population of $3.50 a
compared with S,517 in the Fifth, I
difference of 36S In favor of th
Fourth. The First ward leads thu
Second by only 274. The differenc,
between the Sixth ward and the dis

character and position Of both men and
women. Their woman is wronged
creature of sublime purity and perfec-
tion who is forced to submit to the pas
sions and cruelty of a masculine ty-
rant. Their man is a monster Of fell
designs, whose chief delight is in vic
timizing womankind.
Unfortunately for this view, sex does
not determine all human qualities, as is
proved by even narrow experience OF
life. Most women fall short of the sub
lime and perfect, as most men rise
above the intolerable base. But it is
doubtful If many people. men or wOm-
en-. are misled by the fiery advocates
whose ''boldness and brazen efront-
cry" continue to be personal charac-
teristic not widely communicable to
others.
Moreover. there is a large number Of
women who are so identified with the
public work for women as to give it
an unquestionable value. Some OF
them are favorable to the suffrage
movement, which. we presume, the
cardinal would condemn, but that is
an inadequate measure OF their activ-
ity. Through the instrumentality of
their associations they protect their
weaker sisters not only against men
but against women as wen, help them
to industrial employment, provide them
with pleasant meeting places and Sc
cure beneficial legislation in their be-
half
Such work can hardly be waved aside
because it is varied by speech-maklng
at club gatherings and conventions, and
if it interferes with home life in some
cases not one in a thousand American
families is affected thereby. Husbands
and wives who are properly mated to
begin with have nothing to fear or ex-
pect from woman's rights agitation,
and. as rule, care little about it, one
way or the other.
As for society leaders in the restrict
ed sense Of that term, their Influence
hardly touches the lives of an appreci-
able fraction of our population. But
all society is not given up to frivolity,
and woman's social life may be of
decided advantage to the community
in which she lives.

Duitable goods
..g.N. 10

Immediately after the passage of the
Dingley bill the customs receipts drop
ped to $6,sS7,7O2 for August. and the
New York Evening Post began the
daily publication OF its Deficit under
the Dingley Tariff tables. Only the
receipts on account Of the sale Of the
Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific rail
ways saved our contemporary from
convulsions over the prospect Of nation
al bankruptcy under the tariff it de-
tested.
But from August 1897, TO January,
1900, the much-abused Dingley tariff
began to justify its title as AN Act
to provide revenue for the govern
ment." The bonded warehouses also
began 20 fll up with dutiable goods, as
appears in the following table of Gus
toms receipts for successive Januar-
les and warehouse balances:
