The Miners Strike,

Reports from the scene OF the
coal miners strike in Pennsylvania
are very reassuring from the tact
that the men are conducting the
strike in an orderly manner. and,
despite the display OF bayonets for
the evident purpose Of provoking
them to acts which would call for
the intervention OF the military,
seem determined 10 avoid all oc-
casions OF conflict.
The admission by the president
OF one oi the railroads affected that
steps are under way looking to
settlement Of the trouble will be
hailed with delight. The mine
owners seem TO have been made to
see that the situation will have a
bad effect upon McKinleY's
chances. H4nna's outbreaks OF
i'll humor during the past week are
all traceable to this source,
Whether Intervention will come
through the efforts Of Archbishop
Ryan, oil Philadelphia, who has
shown his deep sympathy with the
men, or oil Mr.. Hanna, through
solicitude tor Mr.. Mckinley, will
make little difference. Likewise
little will it matter whether it is
called arbitration or mediation or
whether it is done from political or
humane motives. The miners are
contending for the right to live
and the opportunity to support
their families. They cannot do
this on their miserable pittance Of
90 cents a daY---a sum which would
hardly suffice to feed pet poodle
in the house Of a mine owner.
Their efforts to raise themselves
above the level OF the animal came
perhaps at an opportune time. IL
is much TO be feared that If a Presi-
dental election were not pending
there would be small chan;e OF a
favorable issue. For their sakes
one could we'll wish that every
year was a Presidential year. II is
the wish OF every impartial OBJ
server that the struggle will be
soon brought to a close, and that
the miners will win.

The Attack on Roosevelt

at Victor, Colorado, was detesta,
ble-almost as detestsble as the at
tempt OF some oi the baser Repub-
lican mercenaries to tasten the
blame Tor it on the National Dem
ocracY.
On the same day on which this
occurred at Victor, Mr.. Bryan was
writing to the press OF Lincoln re-
questing his friends 10 remove his
own portraits from their windows
on October ? as a mark OF respect
to the Republican candidate for the
Vice-Presidency, who was to pass
through the city on that day. After
such delicate courtesy it was IN
evitable that when he heard of the
outrage at Victor Mr.. Bryan
should have expressed the deepest
indignation. The blackPuards at
the Republican national head
quarters who took advantage Of
this affair to throw verbal rotten
eggs at hiri put themselves on
rather lower plane than that Of
the untutored hoodlums OF Victor.

recommend that Congress create a
Department Of Labor, IN charge OF
a Secretary with seat in the Cab
met, believing that the elevation
Of the American laborer will bring
with it increased production and
increased prosperity to our coun-
try a, home and to our commerce
abroad"
On his subject, William j..
Bryan recently said in one OF his
public addresses: But the labor
ing man is even more interested in
the proposition TO establish labor
bureau with a Cabinet officer at its
head. Such bureau would keep
the Executive in constant touch
with the wage earners OF the coun-
try, and open the way to the re-
dress OF their present and future
grievances. Ii labor is given a
place in the Presidents official
household. the man selected will
necessarily be worthy and trusted
representative OF the people tor
whom he speaks, and his presence
at cabinet meetings will give Tor
those who toll for their daily bread
assurance that their interests will
be properly guarded"
