Even conceding that the full dinner
pail is the chief end of the working
man, it is not doing Mark Hanna good
service as an issue. He would be
glad if 1t had never been mentioned.
Down in the anthracite coal regions OF
Pennsylvania the full dinner pail is
already no more than a blessed mem
ory. Some of the coal barons appar-
emily have notes to meet this fall and
will have to raise the price of coal. In
preparation for this step they are get
ting ready to shut down the mines
and in few weeks that long suffering
region will present its annual spec
tacle of hunger and want. In New
England most of the wooden mills and
many other industries are running on
what has come to be known as rag
time" half day three days in week.
There are no full dinner pals there.

AMERICAS FOREIGN POLICY.

We should not close our eyes to the
fact that great movement is in prog
ress which threatens the existence of
every absolute government in Europe.
1t will be a struggle between liberal
and absolute principles-between Re-
publicanism and despotism. Are we
to remain cold and Indifferent specta-
tors when the time Of action shall ar
rive, and the exciting scene shall be
presented to our view? Will it not
become our duty to do whatever the
interest, honor and glory of our coun-
try may require, in pursuance of the
law of nations, to give encouragement
to that great movement? Should We
not recognize the independence of each
republic as soon as it shall be estab-
lished, open diplomatic intercourse,
form commercial treaties and, in short,
extend the right hand of fellowship,
rendering all the courtesies and priv
ileges which should exist between
friendly nations Of the. same political
faith? think that the bearing Of this
country should be such as to demon
strate to all mankind that America
sympathizes with the popular move
ment against despotism, whenever and
wherever made.-Stephen A. Douglas,
1851.

Here are a few illustrations Of how
prosperous the wageworkers are. They
will not be mentioned by Republican
campaign orators.
The miners in the anthracite coal
region of Pennsylvania have had only
about two days work per week for the
last nine months.
The employees of the Window Glass
Trust have struck for a four per cent
advance in wages. The trust says 1t
will not give them one-half Of one per
cent. This is the trust that recently
advanced the price of window glass
fifteen per cent.
The American Federation of Labor
has just donated $1,000 to aid the 1000
striking cigarmakers in New York
city. This is the twenty-fifth week of
the lockout in this Republican pro-
tected industry.
Over 1000 woodworkers are likely to
be added to the thousands of building
trades men who have been on strike
in Chicago for nearly ten months. /.
ufacturers of Paterson, N. j.. closed
down last week and neglected to pay
the wages of their employees
The big steel plant of the Federal
Steel Company, at Lorain, Ohio, has
closed down, throwing 5000 men out
Of employment.
About 200 men employed in the
Moorhead Plate Mill, Sharpsburg, Pa,
have struck against 20 per cent re-
duction in wages. 4
The cotton mills of Bddeford, Me-,
have closed down, throwing 5000 oper-
atives out of work.
The Diamond State Steel Company
of Wilmington, Delaware, has closed
down indefinitely, throwing about
1900 men out of employment.
Kansas is so prosperous that during
the late season women did heavy har-
vest work in the fields for $3.50 day.
Millionaire Matthieson has gracious
ly permitted the men who went on
strike in his zinc works recently to
return without any raise of wages.
These examples could be multiplied
indefinitely. There is no real pros
perity among wages-workers, and it
looks as though the tactics of go
might be repeated in many sections
The trusts can easily close down fac
tories for few weeks before election
so as to scare their employees into vot-
ing for Mckinley,

The Standard Oil company is show
ing its hand quite plainly in Pennsyl-
vania politics. Apparently 1t has no
party preferences, and is for Republic
ans or Democrats indifferently, pro-
vided they are safe friends of the COM
pany. Thus Charles Miller of Venango
county, a representative Of Standard
Oil interests, has been appointed by
the Republican governor major-general
of the national guard of the state over
the heads of experienced officers. who
had served up to the place, as Miller
had not The appointment, says the
Philadelphia Times, places the ma
tional guard of Pennsylvania as COM
pletely under the control Of Standard
OIL influence as if John d. Rockefeller
was COMMUNICATIVE Governor
Stone is Quays tool. and Quay has
never lacked corporation support
What else could have induced the ap-
pointment by these of man who is
not Republican? The Venango Spec
tator, for half century a sturdy
Democratic organ, is supporting Sibley
for congress. Sibley Is the congress-
man who was last elected as a Demo-
crat. He is Mlller's partner in STAN
dard Oil business. The Times does not
mince matters. but brands the Spec
tator as a subsidized sheet.-Boston

A Good" Dollar.

What is meant by the demand for a
dollar that is good round the worldly
for the dollar that will buy as much
in one market as in any other market
in the world?"
A dollar will buy half days labor
in the United States, whole days Ia
Dor in France, two days labor in Italy,
six days labor in India and sixteen
days labor in China.
A demand that the dollar be as
good" in one place as in another is
equivalent to the demand that Its
purchasing power" lie as great, and
the only way to make the dollar as
good" in the United States as it is
in China. is to reduce the price of la
Dor till dollar will buy sixteen days
labor in the United States.
How good do you want the dol
lar?"-New Road.

English MILK Laws.

The English pure-food authorities
are dealing strictly with offenders
against the milk laws. Mark Lane
Express mentions two recent cases
In one the charge was that part of the
cream had been removed and the milk
sold as whole. The defendant denied
that it was either skinned or watered
but was fined $40. In the other case
the use of boracic acid was charged
against several persons, and fines
ranging from S. to $50 were imposed
One of the witnesses, Prof. Boyce OF
University College, said that this sub
stance was highly injurious no matter
how small a quantity was used. He
had experimental with kittens. and
found that even a minute quantity OF
boracic acid in the milk consumed by
them was harmful.

Nine. WI. wife of the Chinese min
lister, is of lively temperament and
quick to respond to either humor OF
sentiment. She has become warmly
attached to several American women
The Chinese minister is an accom-
plished linguist, but his wife is not sc
clever in this respect. She speaks
Just little English, enough to meel
the ordinary exigencies of formal re-
ceptions. Her accent is considered
charming. and she hopes in another
year to have added considerably to her
English vocabulary. She can carry on
more sustained conversation in
French than in English. In her own
tongue she is a fluent conversational
list, and keeps herself we'll informed
on all the topics of the times.

Constitution and Caprice.

No Roman emperor, in the plenti-
tude Of unquestioned, absolute power,
ever made his personal will more COM
pletely the constitution Of the Roman
people than William Mckinley his the
law for the people Of the United States
in all the responsibilities he has thrust
upon them outside and in defiance OF
the constitution.
Questions which the founders Of the
republic intended should be elucidated
and adjusted by the people themselves
through their elected representatives,
Mr.. Mckinley has assumed to settle
with no other aid than his personal
caprice.
Yet we are told that imperialism is
not a fact in the United States, actual
or prospective.
If substitution Of the caprice Of an
executive for the deliberate decision Of
a congress be not Imperialism we shall
have to look to romance for a deflni-
ton. History furnishes no other
Chicago Chronicle.

The naphtha launch Of L. A. Scott
of Philadelphia came suddenly to a
stop recently in swarm of myriads
of green flies along the lower Jersey
coast. The engine refused to run.
The force was turned off and an In
vestigation instituted forthwith, which
resulted in the finding of about two
gallons of "green headers" tightly
packed into one of the. air chambers
which fed the flume with oxygen. The
flies had been drawn in by the sue
ton until they were as solidly packed
as powder and shot in gun barrel.
It required an hour of patient work to
remove the mass of dead flies from
the hot cylinder and get the boat in
working order again.

An amusing anecdote comes to us
from over the sea about John d. Rock
efeller and the Shah of Persia. On his
recent visit to London Rockefeller was
pointed out to the Shah as the richest
man in the world. The Shah was
greatly interested and inquired how
rich he was. He was told that Rookie
Teller had an income of $50,000,000 a
year.
The Shah then inquired: SIS he the
king or emperor of his country" and
was perfectly amazed when he was
told that he was only private citi-
zen.
After n few moments of meditation
he remarked: 1T is fortunate for him
that he does not live in Persia. /
would have his head stricken from his
shoulders ere the sun went down. He
Is too rich altogether for a private
citizen; he would bride my generals,
corrupt my grand vizier and get even
my bodygnard under his control. /
could not sleep in peace with such a
man in my country. He is too rich,
too rich do not understand why the
king of his country lets him live. He
is menace to his peace and secur-
ity."-St. Louis Taxpayer.

One of the moving stairways which
are being adopted by the elevated rail
way in New York has been started and
ia now in successful operation. 1t is
said that the traffic at that station has
increased fully 100 an hour over the
normal rate, but this probably is due
largely to the novelty of the thing.
There are, however, many people who
would patronize the elevated road
were it not for the stairways to be
climbed. In appearance, the new de-
vice resembles the old stairway. ex-
cept that one-half of the staircase
proper is a piece of moving rubber
mating that works not unlike a
threshing machine elevator and sounds
like one, somewhat subdued. One sim
ply steps upon it and steadies himself
by means of side rail. when he is
carried to the car platform.
