MARX HANNA
AS HANGMAN,
How He Would Punish Lead
ers of the Striking
Miners.

Mark Hanna is reported as saying In
| Chicago that ANY man who would Tslt
| u straw in the way of a settlement of
| the great coal miners strike now pro-
crossing in Pennsylvania should be
taken out TO the nearest lamppost and
hanged"
If Mr.. Hanna means that the Repub-
lican coal operators and their financial
hackers in New York and London who
have made a bogus and barren offer Il
the 90 cents q day miners of 10 -.
cent increase of pay or rather of r
duction in the price of powder should
be hanged, we can only reply that he
knows them better than we do and IS
better able to measure their deserts.
From Hanna'S antecedents, however,
we are inclined to believe that he
wants to hang the leaders of. the min
ers' union for daring to assert that 80
cents day is not enough for a man to
support his family on and that the mil
lionaires who are wallowing in wealth
made for them by the miners industry
ought to be willing to allow the miner
a living wage out of what he earns.
Hanna's remark may seem extrava-
CANT, but 1t has great deal of mean
ing. We have Scriptural authority for
the saying that "out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh."
-Four years ago it would have seemed
incredible that president of the Unit
ed States would use the regular army
to arrest law abiding miners and hold
them as prisoners on the charge that
they belonged to n labor union. Yet
that is lust what Mckinley did in Ida
ho less than two years ago. 1t may
seem like the rawlings of a mailman for
Hanna to want union men hanged be-
cause they stand up for the rights of,
their fellow men. Yet the election of
Mckinley on Nov. G will be n direct in
v!tation to just such a tragedy before
another four years are over. - New
York News.
