tracing their lineage back to the settlement

the death of the father to look after and aid
the mother in the care Of the younger ones,
three OF whom with the mother for many
years found ii home with him, where the
mother died, and the two youngest brothers

Sally Iwitchell, with whom he lovingly

century, until the death of the wife nearly
five years ago. To this couple We're born
seven children, five of whom are left to miss

and truth, quick, unfalllng sympathy, his

his memory and teachings are rich her

day than was he. His remarkable memory
was wonder to all and his conversation, so
often interspersed with apt quotations from
his favorite poets, from which he learned to
the last days of his life, was something rich
and ENJOYABLE to all with whom he came in
contact. Patiently he waited the longed Tor
reunion with the wife he 50 missed, and
others long gone before. Lovingly he seemed
to study to leave some token of love. some
tender word of appreciation OF what had
been done for him in MS failing years.

The Democratic cry of imperialism
is like the thief's cry of stop thief in
order to divert the pursuing crowd from
himself The Republican party was
the means of freeing the slaves whom
the Democrats would have kept in
chains had the election Of Lincoln not
forced them from power. The Repub-
lican party under Mckinley is contifu-
ing the anti-imperialism work of Lin
coin. ''To over ten millions of the HUI
man race living i'll the Philippine Islands
it has given "a new birth of freedom. ="
The responsibility of caring for the
new wards of the nation" will be met
as faithfully by the Republican party
as it has been in the case of the freed
men Of the soutll-schools for the chill
dren, fair trials by jury, equality of OPP
portunity with the white man, these
are some of the things the Repub-
lican party has accomplished for the
negro race of this country, after it
rescued them from their bonds; and
will do also for the millions it has since
rescued from the cruel dominion of
Spain. In China the Republican adj
minstration is opposing imperialistlc
partition by European nations and is
advocating the 'open door"

End of the Strike.

From late sadvices Of the Associated
Press. the Philadelphia 6 Reading Coal
and Iron Company. the largest concern
operating In the anthracite field. has
made concessions to the striking min
ers, offering them n 10 per cent advance
in wages. This in addition TO the nat
ural scale Increase for the past month
OF 6 per cent means u total raise OF IL
per cent.
It's now up to the miners. They
must decide whether they will bow the
knee to the agitators. whose sole pur-
pose In bringing on the strike at this
Z time was a political one, or go to work
at good wages and provide for their
families. 1t is q choice between uphold
Ing false principle or performing their
duty to their families and to society.
There can be little doubt that the
miners will be guided by right motives
and that before the end of the week, all
the mines In the hard coal fields OF
Pennsylvania will be running full blast.
