Who Owns the Mines?

Six weeks before the national election
the forces OF disorder behind the Bryan
movement have brought about a strike
In the Pennsylvania coal fields. The Bryan
press Is doing what 1t can TO split and dis
tort the issue OF the situation. but politics
hasn't the power TO split 1t or distort It or
lessen It's simplicity.
To make 1t wholly clear, let is sup
pose that the miners on strike have, to a
man, struck Of their own motion, instead
Of being driven to It by the c~aJolery or
threat Of the particular union that has been
the ostensible agent in fomenting the dis
tlrbance. The vital question at stake
70 the public is still whether the owners Of
the mines, the operators, shall manage
their property as seems most desirable
70 them, or whether some concession TO
the strikers shall be forced upon them by
the blackmailing pressure of lawlessness
In any form, direct or indirect.
Shall the iniammatory rawlings Of tho
Bryan press. or actual violence perpetrated
by the strikers upon other miners desiring
10 work. be suffered to overthrow the
operators right Of ownership
No. A thousand times. No, There a be
no other answer by those alive TO the impor-
tance Of the question. Clamor over the diff
ference In fortune between employer and
employee can't drown the answer either.

Bryan Mt His Worst.

II Is not pleasant to find a candidate for
President of the United States talking as
foolishly or dishonesty as Mr., BRYAN
talked at Monet, Mo;
The Republicans are now boasiing that we have
reached a point where we can loan money 20 people
IN other countries, | want 10 ask you whether you
regard that as an evidence OF prosperity. Why would
any man send his money TO Europe fol investment
II he could md a place In this country TO invest H.
Money sent abroad for Investment must be stnt for
one Of two reasons, either because the man who sends
the money over there thinks more Of the people over
there than he does OF the people here and does II for
love and devotion or because II IL a matter OF business,
that is because he can invest Il to better advantage
IN a European country than he can in this
country"
Mr.. BRYAN either knows or does not
know that the country has accumulated
so much money under that financial system
which he Is trying to break down that it
has money to lend at a low rate of interest
70 the rest Of the world. He either knows
or does not know that a low rate OF Interest
Is good for the country in general. especially
for that " debtor class " for which he shows
so much concern. He either knows or
does not know that a country which Is
able TO lend must be prosperous. He
either knows or he does not know that
the big slice Of the German loan taken by
a life insurance company represents in
large measure the savings Of many men
In moderate circumstances
II he does not know these things, he Is
too big a fool to be President. II he does,
and yet talks as he talked at Monet. he ia
too dishonest to be President.

Although the Navy Department has adopted
a rula that the models Of naval vessels dis
played In the corridors OF the Navy Building
shall not be lent to exhibitions. Senator FOR
Akin has been able TO obtain the loan OF the
new model Of the Brooklyn for the local fall ex-
Elbition In Cincinnati The rule was made be-
cause Of the original cost Of the models and the
danger TO which they are liable during ship
ment. The models sent TO Paris we're damaged
by careless handling to such an extent that the
services OF a naval constructor and tho e1-
penditure Of nearly SIS 900 were needed to put
them In proper condition again. 1t IL natural that
the models should be desired by tho managers
OF fairs and shows all over the country. for they
are very beautiful and convey far better than
pictures the idea Of what our fighting ships are.
Still, II Is to be hoped that those who want them
may recognize that their place is in the Navy
Building in Washing Ton, and that the new rule,
unfortunately broken as soon as made. may not
become a dead letter.

crystal and three pearls. These three
salian tombs the French had not found
and their inmates had been left at rest
The scientific men measured the bones
md verified the tradition that these Emper-
ors were big and stately men.
On the fragments saved from the French
the anthropologlsts we're enabled 70 exercise
their ingenuity. A delicate woman's skele-
ton they identified AZ BRATRIx OF Burgundy
the wife Of FREDERICK ~BARBABossA. while
nine small bones are all that Is left OF her
little daughter, AGNES. The old Kaiser
R~EDBEARp. however. still sleeps In the
Kyrha1ser Hill and his mortal remains
we're scattered 30 thoroughly In Asia that
German scientific men can never find them.
Only the lower Jaw remains OF the skull
OF Emperor HENRY ". the undutiful son
OF HENRY ~. and husband OF the English
Empress MATILDA: his fathers skull Ia
. relatively well preserved" Bits OF human
ity were picked out as belonging TO this
or that other Emperor and q real discovery
was made. One skull with a cleft In 1t has
been regarded for many years as that OF
ALBERT ]. OF Hapsburg. who was killed
by his cousin. The anthropologists are
satisfied that 1t is the skull Of an old man
and that the injury was inflicted after death
II Ats in with a single vertebra and a collar
bone that have been found. and probably
contained the able brain Of RUDoLR OF
Hapsburg. the first Emperor Of the family
and the founder OF It's fortunes.
When the scientific men had made their
examinations and taken notes for their
reports, the Imperial skeletons were wrapped
In new shrouds and in black plush coverings
and put away again In their collins, new
collins being provided for those that had
been destroyed. An impressive funeral
service was held In the cathedral. the
Bishop OF Speyer officiating, and the public
was allowed to pass by the collins. Then
those Emperors who still had tombs were
lowered into them and tho rest were laid
in tho Crypt till new tombs are built for
them. The chief gain in the proceeding
appears to be the definite information that
some OF the Emperors are still entire and
others In pieces In Speyer Cathedral though,
probably. a date or two may be set right
from the inscriptions.

Frank Biair's Son Against Bryan.

From the 81 Louis Globe DsnlOerG.
James L. BlalT, whose father was the candidate OF
the Democratic party for the Vice Presidency in 1893.
and later represented Missouri in the United State,
Senate, will vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt Being
requested to give his reasons, be dictated the follow.
ing: In 1895 the INSCRIPTIONS leaders OF the Demo
cratic party SO perverted Its principles that from being
the party Of conservatism a. was made 10 stand for
ulua-radicallsm II not revolution. and they chose for
It's leader a cheap demag ogue, an advocate Of political
dlshonor. social disorder and economic folly. Though
! have always been an adhercnt OF that pars. | voted
against Its candidate and reiolced In HIS defeat
because he stood for almost every governmental
heresy known TO man. Since then his utter
ances have shown hut little except Grass
ignorance OF craftsmanship, arrogant disregard Of
party associates, a willingness 10 pander 10 class
prejudice and a shii,y cunning In adapting himself 10
changing political conditions and fomenting popular
discomfort. Thus he now represents all the DANGEROUS
pronouncementS Of the Chicago platform and all the
other vagsries which may suggest themselves TO a
mind OF singular versatility In the revolution Of
political horesioS The Kansas City platform Is bad
enough. but the candidate who stands on Il Is even
worse. can Of no mistake too serious, no
political scheme too g~rotesque for such a man stand
Ing upon such a platform to carry out He is about
as well niied to be President OF the United States as
was Jack Cate to be Premier Of England. Having
these convictions, I can conceive OF no Circumstances
under which | could vote for him.
What | most wish TO see now. and by my vote help
IN some small measure To acoom plish, Is that Mr..
Bryan shall he so overwhelmingly defeated that he
and all his Populistc ilk shall be forever banlshed
from the Democratic party think Il the duty Of
every good citizen to aid In bringing about this result.
10 the end that no party will ever hereafter insult the
intelligence and stl'-respect OF tho people by putting
al Its head such a tatterdemalion a. he who nov as

~Stanchfeld's Curves.

Whether the Hon. JOHN B. ~STANcHFrEID
did or did not pitch ourved balls when he
was the glory OF the Actives of Elmira,
there Is no doubt that he Is suffering from
curvature Of the conscience. On Feb. II,
1899, he made a fat expansionist speech.
reported in The Sun the next day and
reprinted in it on the day after his nomina-
ton for Governor. Now he urv and
twists and pretends that he can't be sure
what he said until he c~onsults the manu-
script OF his speech and finds out what his
stenographer made him say. He knows
perfectly well what he said. He can no
more forget what his opinion on a subject
80 important was thar he can forget his
name. He ia an eXpansionist standing on
an an~ti-expansion platform.
Curve tho first.
The Kansas City platform asserts that
imperialism is the paramount issue. Mr..
SrANCHFTELD asserts hat Trusts are the
paramount issue. Il intend from now
until Election Day" he says, to submit
TO the voters OF New York that the Trust Is
the greatest evil which we have TO face
to-day"
Curve the second.
Here again he is false TO his platform.
And when did this fierce zeal against Trusts
spring up in himl
The Hon. JOHN b, STANcHFIELD Is any
thing but straight in his politics. He Is
all curves.

The Consistency OF the Gold Demo
prDtG-

A long and bitter contest between the
supporters and the opponents Of BRYAN
IN the Brooklyn Democratic Club on Thurs
day evening served to illustrate very
clearly the difference between the quality
of the men on the two sides and Of the
motives animating them. The upshot
was that at midnight the supporters OF
BRYAN won.
That In itself the meeting was Of trining
significance Is shown by the fact that the
number present was about thirty only. Its
significance lay wholly In the demonstra-
ton afforded by It that so far as Gold Demo-
Gratis have gone or are going over TO BRYAN
in this campaign really or ostensibly, they
are usually Influenced solely by a desire to
reestablish their Democratic regularity
with II view to possible future profit for
themselves. That Is the explanation OF
such conversions which was given re-
Gently by one Of our correspondents versed
in practical politics, and 1t Is generally
accepted as the true motive by politicians
of both parties.
No one instructed in the ways OF ambitious
politicians who read the fiimsy excuses
for their going over to BRYAN made by
Mr.. OLNEY and Mr.. SHEPARD. for instance,
could have had any doubt az to that matter.
Mr.. OLNRY cannot forget that he is a pos
sible Democratic candidate for President
In 1904 and he wants TO conciliate the
Bryanites now. 80 that they will not reasure
UP against him any opposition TO them he
might make In this campaign and lay on
his shoulders any share Of the RESPONSE
binty for their defeat In November. Mr..
OLNEY Is working for himself. not for hir.
BRYAN: and accounts from Boston indicate
that his support Of the le-to-l candidate
will expend itself In contradictory words.
Mr.. SHEPARD Of Brooklyn, who has won tenn
porary fame by processing TO count a
panic a small price to pay for the election
of BRYAN though the panic would bring
ruin 10 his clients, was at the time of the
publication Of his apology an aspiraut for
the Democratic nomination for Governor
which has gone TO Mr.. STANCHFIRLp.
Mr.. SHEPARD Is a lawyer whose political
ambitions AVE been made manifest for
several years past.
In 1896 the Brooklyn Democratic Club
fatty denounced the Chicago platform
and repudiated the candidates nominated
on II. That fidelity to conviction. for It's
members are chiefly Gold Democrats, won

Democrats, As these still remain faithful
