Admiral Seymour's force had been
blocked, but not cut to pieces, and
that the legations had not been at
tackled. One view which found con-
siderable support was that the EN-
ress, by avoiding an open conflic
with the Boxers and instructing the
generals to make common cause
with them, had regained control OF
the situation and that the legations
had escaped attack in this way, and
that the ministers had boon escorted
out OF Peking and that Seymour's
iorce had been shut out OF the capt.
tai, but not been in serious danger.
There was little evidence in support
of this theory, yet many men OF good
judgment we're disposed to credit it
and to assume that the Empress,

sympathizing with them, would not

The mIner.. strlEs

Every other Industrial difficulty Is
dwarfed by the miners strike in Penn
syivania. There are now about 159. =
900 men out. They are entering upon
the second week of the strike, and
despite the approximations OF the ad :
ministration press they have com
mitted no violence.
Some miners did throw stones.
They were guilty of disorderlg con-
duct and should have been arrested.
What was done? The deputies imme-
diately fired into the crowd and killed
several people. Then the state militia
was ordered out.
Today the soldiers are parading the
streets of perfectly peaceful towns
and dragging along Calling guns to
oVerawe the miners and to incite them
to violence.
1t is to be hoped that the good sense
and N federation which has marked the
conduct of the men up to this time
will be maintained. They have the
sympathy, not only of all wagework-
ers, but of all right thinking people
in their protest against 90-cent day.
But is it any wonder that the oper-
ators refused to arbitrate? They had
the weapon of starvation to use on
the men. They had only to ask for
the military and they got it. They
are reaping millions from the adj
vanced price they have arbitrarily put
on coal. and finally they are swag
gering about and declaring that they
will close down the mines permanent
ly if the men persist in the strike.
They will do nothing of the sort.
The field is too valuable. But the
trusts, under republican encourage
ment, have grown to think that they
need fear neither legal restraint nor
public opinion.
The whole country is beginning to
wonder if it isn't about time 70 put
man in the White House who will look
after the interests of the whole people
and restrain the gigantic power of
com bined wealth.

The trust will at once open it's

so long that they are eagerly flocking

of their campaign arguments.

accept. The trusts are just Begin

men may accept The terms because
they cannot help themselves, but this
reduction in wages means thousand )

in encouraging trusts.
AT Pittsburg. Pa, 1000 tin workers
are on strike because the tin plate

them a slight advance in wages. The

An Inopportune Visit.

The appearance of Sixto Lopez In this
country is untimely, to say the least. He
will do the cause of the Filipinos no good
and most certainly will prove an embar-
rassment TO the Democrats in the further
exploitation of their paramount issue. He
announces that he has no intention Of
interfering with American politics. Of
course not But why has he come al such
a season 10 seek justice for his country?
Does he seriously believe that the heat
Of the campaign is the time for his APP
peals?
If the Democrats are a party to Senor
LopeZs visit or if the anti-imperiaiists
have brought him here in the hope of
aiding Mr.. Bryan's election, IL is a po-
litical mistake which will be realized only
too soon. That deep sympathy is felt in
this country for the FIlipinos none will
deny. That countless Republicans now
supporting Mr.. Mckinley earnestly de-
plore the events which placed us in pos
session of the Philippine Islands is mani
festly true. But precious few people will
hdNt pdlltHCt adl lLls TIME 10 hsltn
to Senor Lopez's presentation of the case.
The manifestos which he has issued from
London have naturally fallen fiat. We
have heard from men of his kind before.
Cuban juntas were maintained in Wash
ington and New York only a few years
ago. The methods of their operation are
only too fresh in memory. Senior Lopez
will find no field for his labors. If our
Democratic friends have brought him here
and il is difficult 10 credit such a
theory-they cannot too soon send him
back to London.
OF course there is no occasion for alarm
over his visit. He cannot possibly do
anybody but Mr.. Bryan any harm. What
ever the nature Of his errand, he is not
a menace 10 public peace, and there is no
reason why he should not be perfectly
secure wherever he chooses 10 domicile
himself. But he has come at a most in
opportune time to push his propaganda.
The Washington weekly post., 1900-10-02
Concerning Imperialism.

III We can get a I'VE minutes hearing
IN this deafening din which our esteemed
Democratic contemporaries have raised
over the question Of imperialism, We
sboul1 Ike 10 suggest that they would
be wise 10 moderate their vociferation.
That there is imperialism in our present
and past policy. We do not pretend 20
ceny The President has made a tarin
for Cuba and the Philippines, and regu-
lated In those islands other parts of the
machinery OF government which, under
the Constitution. lie within the province
of Congress. That he has been con-
se:enticusly advised in this, We do not
for A moment doubt Whether he has
been well advised. is quite another mat
ter. Unless Imperialism is to be found
In these directions. We should hesitate to
look for IL al all. In our opinion, how
ever, Il Is there.
But who are Democratic leaders that
they should cast stones at conditions
which they have dong so much to bring
about? Look back two years and say
who were most active, most indefatigabie,
and most persistent In their efforts TO
plunge the country into war with Spain:
Everybody knows that Mr.. Mckinley was
lntely set his face against ii up to the
very last moment II he had been sup
ported in his reluctance and strengthened
In his humane predictions by the Demo
cratic leaders in Congress. this imperial
ism OF which they now complain so loud
ly would have been made impossible SEN
ator Proctor was one OF the few Repub-
hcans of real weight and consequence who
helped 90 preeipitate the outbreak No
one in Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet desired
feared that II was inevitable. The agita-
ton was conducted chiefly by Democratic
leaders and organs, and most of the glory
and the sorrow and the disastrous COM
plications resulting therefrom may prop
erly be credited 10 them. The war brought
US Cuba, Porto Rico. and the Philippines,
and, as an inseparable concomitant, all
the difficulties - including imperialism -
that now confront us.
This is merely a word in passing We
have always felt sure that the uproar in
1887 was OF purely partisan inspiration
and contriyance. 1t does not surprise Us.
therefore, 10 find the Democrats bewail- |
ing results of which they were the most |
cause. We insist, neverthe-
less, that the Democratic howl about i'm
perialism is injudicious and impertinent |
The situation is bad enough. but those |
who cid so much TO create it should ac- |
cept the responsibility and leave others |
% conduct the protestation.
