Allies Attack Forts,
Answer to Germany.

Washington, Sept. 2l.--As the state
department has determined to adhere to
the diplomatic proprieties in publishing
whatever response it may make to the
last German proposition relative to the
punishment of the Chinese responsible for
the Pekin outrages it is expected that the
text OF the United States note and even
the substance will be withheld from pub
lication for at least two days after its de-
livery. 1t is believed it will take the form
of a circular, addressed not to Germany
alone, but to each of the powers interested
in the Chinese situation. Furthermore,
it is believed that instead of being an
unconditional acceptance or rejection of
the German proposition it will be rather
controversial and be framed with a pur-
pose to develop the sentiments of the 9TH
er powers respecting the German PROPOSE
ton and to secure support for our own
views of that matter.
As Count Won Waldersee is steadily
making his way toward Pekin, but still
needs weeks time to complete his jour
ney, 1t Is not likely that the German gov
eminent will interpose serious protests
against any action on the part of the
United States which will have the effect
to postpone the beginning of settlement
until the field marshal arrives. 1t is inn
possible to tell now whether the action
which is to be taken by our government
will have such dilatory effect.

A COURT ORGANS VIEW.

The Washington Post the leading
newspaper published at the federal
capital and journal that lays no
claim to being Democratic and has not
been friendly to Mr.. Bryan, but on
the other hand has been looked upon
as the court organ, says in q recent
issue:
"The indications of the hour are
that Mr.. Bryan is practically sure of
election without the vote of New York
or any of it's neighboring states. 1t
is not at all a bad situation from our
viewpoint. What 1t is from Mr.. Nc
Kinley's he is demonstrating by his ac-
tions. He is shrewd politician, and
he knows that unless the tidal wave he
is encountering now can be turned back
and made to rush in the opposite d.
rection within the next two months

Canton in March next are too good 10

HANNA CALLED BY HOAR,

AS political orator Senator Hanna
didn't have to go very far to get called.
He quoted, With a great exhibition of
bombast, from Senator Hoar and de-
clared that he said Mr.. Bryan was a
hypocrite and that he was going to
unmask him. Nobody but Senator Hoar
could deny 1t, but he has and has done
SO in such fashion that it is up to Mr..
Hanna to retract or admit that he has
wilfully perverted the truth. Here is
what Senator Hoar says about the mat
ter:
Il don't think Mr.. Hanna can b.. cor.

ms recollection is in error IL he thinks

he came out in long letter to the Sec

In the first place the Commission

Mr. w. X. Miller, during his lifetime.
was one Of the moving spirits Of the
First Methodist church. A devout,
christian gentleman. he welded an In
fluence for good. His advice was eagerly
sought by other members Of the church.
He is yet seriously missed.
While interested to the last degree in
the spiritual welfare Of the congrega-
ton, much of the temporal side came
under his Jurisdiction. All churches
must have a temporal side. There is
fuel and light and paint and janitor.
Bills are to be met Most churches, II
they are at all active, enjoy a neat debt.
This must sometime be paid. Then,
there is the selection Of pastor. At
times this duty devolyed on Mr.. Miller.
II was he who chose DR.. Manchester,
The relator knows this for Mr.. Miller
told him so himself. DR.. Edmonds was
a fine man. but he had nothing Of the
polite in him. The circumstances de-
manded that the Canton church have ir

!. and a good christian but good politi'
lean as well. The condition OF thu
church exchequer precluded hiring
three men. So DR.. Manchester wal
chosen.

Germany is rushing her ships to the
Orient in such haste and such great
number, that when they arrive she will
be second in naval strength to Great
Britain. AS Great Britain has a good

thoroughly up-to-date, it is not alto
gether clear that the latter will not re-
ally have the most power. Great Brit
ain is halting and uncertain in policy

Mr.. Bryan will not accept Mr.. Han
mas challenge to a joint debate for the
reason that Hanna has not issued a
challenge, save in the press reports
He has sent no word to Mr.. Bryan that
he wants to debate anything, and Mr.
Bryan gives him this fine upper-cut
in referring to the matter: while
would be glad TO debate public ques-
tions with the Republican candidate
for the presidency, I would not be WILL
ing to debate with one whose RESPONSE
bility is less than my own" In other
words Mr.. Bryan tells Mr.. Hanna to
go and lick somebody in his class and
get reputation.

a little. Mr.. Ratchford says-and 1t is
not an official report, being one. that
nobody but the Republican commit
tee asked for-that the mining rate has
been increased and that the average
wage Is much higher. To prove 1t he
quoted that in 1896 the miners averaged
151 days for the year and received an
average of s221.55 per man for the whole
years work. That includes superin-
tendents and mine bosses and all the
high salaried men about the mines, to
bring up the average of the men who
go, with pick al u shovel, into the in
terror of the earth, away from the light
and warmth of the sun and into the
damp recesses of the rooms" The
men who do the actual work averaged
much less than the figure quoted, but
take Mr.. Ratchford at his word and
what have you? An increase of about
SIS per man and but two days additional
work. For 1899, during the regime of
, the advance agent of prosperity, Ohio
miners averaged s236.32 for the whole
year. That is an income per day of
64R cents, for all of the days in the
I year. That is the way to look at the
thing. 1t is not always the rate per
day that counts, but the number of
days the rate is permitted to operate
is the vital point. II man gets $40
a day. that is very good wages, splen-
did wages in fact. But If doesn't get a
chance to work again for ten days, he
has made only 81 day. after all.
! So here are the Ohio miners making
s2S6.S2 in a whole year. Just 64s cents
a day for every day in the year.
| And Ratchford and his managers call
that wages and get It black-lettered
and double columned and skareheaded
in papers that do not stop to figure
what a give-away the whole thing is.
Some people may think that living
en- s236.32 a year is an easy task and
raise family and clothe and send them
to school, but the average man wants
a little more than that.
But what of the future? The trusts
are closing the mills. Many are now
idle. Several smokestacks in Canton
are not sending forth the signal that
coal is being burned in the furnace,
Dozens of plants in Youngstown and
other cities are idle-closed by the trust.
And If the trust party prevails, there
will be more of them close down. Then
the miner will not be needed No mat
ter what the scale, he will have no work
as there will not be so much coal con-
, Sumed. The rate might be S5 a ton for
, all the good it would do him, If he only
got few days work. What little the
miner now gets is threatened. Let him
look carefully at the situation and vote
with wisdom and to his own interest.
The small pittance of 641a cents day
Is about to be denied him IL he does
not see the danger that threatens.
