Pennsylvania is typical repub-
lican state. 1t is the strongest pro-
lection state in the union. There, if
anywhere, prosperity should prevail.
Yet strikes like that. of the coal
miners cause revelations which star.
tie people. and show how little re-
publican rule has done for hundreds
of thousands. The Minneapolis
Times correspondent. Otto Car-
michael, writing from the mining re
gion. says:
''The strikes afford the children the
opportunity Of getting little edu-
cation. The laws of Pennsylvania
prohibit children from working for
wagesbefore they are II years of
age. But all the laws are broken
here. Boys and girls alike work.
The minute strike is in sight the
boys and girls start to school. All
over the anthracite district the en-
rollment in the public schools is very
large. Increased school room has
been secured and more teachers have
.baen provided. They will attend
school until tnestrike is settled. Be-
ing little hungry later will not
make any difference with the atten
dance OF the miners children at
school. They learn with great avi-
dity. In this respect they belle their
looks. -,s.| 80.
In this section of the state the
officers of the law are pretty tho.
roughly under the control Of the coal
trust. They do pretty much as they
want about enforcing the law about
the employment Of children as we'll
as in other respects. " .:,#

New York World: IN bic
address before tue Home Mar
ket Club at Boston, on February
16. 1899, President Mckinley said:
sour priceless principles undergo
no change under a tropical sun.
They go with the flag. They are
wrought in every one OF it's sacred
folds, and are as ilextinguishable as
are it's shining stars"
That was only a year and hall
ago, and now when the democracy
proposes to sepd our priceless prin-
ciples along with our flag it is &C.
>cused of reasonable encouragement
to the enemy.
Some OF our shining principles are
embodied in the Declaration of In.
dependence. But the republican
party holds that the Declaration oil
Independence is out of date. Some
OF them are contained in the consti.
tuition. But the republican party
maintains that the constitution does
not follow the flag.

1.-The. money power of the country is
against any further expansion of the pen
SION 1ol!.'
These words are attributed to Presi-
dent Mckinley by D. l. Murphy, former
Commissioner OF Pensions, now a resi-
dent Of Washington. MIR. Murphy says:
"During tho National Encampment OF
tho G. A. r. at Philadelphia special
committee, consistipg..of R. B. Brown,
OF ohio, Chairman: John w. Burst, OF
Illinois; John Palmer, Of New York;C C..
Adams, OF Massachusetts, and H. 3.
Case. OF Tennessee, was appointed to
wait upon the President and protest
against the policy of the Pension Office.
This committee presented to tho Presi-
dent the complaints OF their comrades
and urged chance in the pension poll
cy. They even went so far as to toll the
President that the G. A. r. might even
ask for the removal OF the commissioner
OF Pensions.
'President Mckinley gave the committee
plainly to understand that be would
sustain the Commissioner no ma cter how
strongly the mpment might con-
denp' him, land added this astounding de-
c'aration: There is no use denying the
fact, gentleman, that the money power
OF the country is against any further ex-
pansion of the pension roll
THE amazement and discontinue
the committee at this plain reference to
the money power were so complete
that it quickly withdrew from the Exc
utive presence

TrUeIs sen Speech

!. Hon. Henry Truelsen, democratic can
didate for congress-, addressed 8 large
audience in Gross opera house Saturday
evening. The sturdy ex.mavor does
not pretend to be an orator, but his adj
d. ess was that OF an honest, upright.
practical man. one, who if for plain
duty" in December. would still be
found for plain duty in April. The spirit:
OF sincerity showed plainly throughout
the address. + & ~H~. -
Mr.. Truelsen said the campaign was
the most important ever held in tbia
country becaue it was to decide whether
the Declaration Of Independence shall re-
moin az when promulgated. H..
A war for humanity's sake had been
&c hanged into a var for conques ct. When
the narion intervened for Cuba's sake:
the nation stood ''on q higher pedestal
1hoD any other, because it had taken up
arms, not for greed OF conquest, but for
the God-given rights OF men. But the
liberators OF one people became the en-
sla vers of another The rights OF Others
must be respected. or your own rights
will be disregarded.
After showing the administration was
pursuing II policy Of Imperialism, the
speaker said the cost of the army in the
Philippines was 1925, 100000 a year.
Manufacturers could. finally. after the
conquest was completed, establish fac
tories in Luzon and use the cheap labor
to compete with American labor.
The party that gave freedom to the
black men are trying to enslave the
brown men.
The democratic party opposed i'm
perialism, not expansion. When the
territories were brought into the union
they were promised and given freedom.
The speaker scathingly reviewed Nor
ris' action on the Porto Rico tariff,
which Senator Davis said was PERM.
cious mockery, but viii Morris. voted
for. --"'.-
Geo. Washington was the father of his
country. Mckinley was the father of
trusts.
The speaker showed the danger of
growing trusts which were controlling
the industry Of the co ntry. Trust mag
mates like Rockefeller could donate large
sums to colleges, then raise the price
OF products and get the, money back.
They donated the peoples money.
Mr. Truelsen clearly showed with an
extract from Gov. Lind 8 speech, how
wheat, measured in the price of necessi-
ties. was lower than four years ago.
Mr. Ttuels5n advocated compulsory
arbitration. and was opposed to govern
ment by injunction.
Where the flag goes should go the con-
stitution and the declaration, and the
flag must be looked on by other peoples
with love and not hatred.
Mr.. Truelsen spoke OF his career in Du-
luth, showing how he saved nearly ST.
100000 for that city in the purchase OF
a water plant. and said he was a firm
believer in municipal ownersph,p: 4: .
The address covered in general the
issues of Imperialism and trusts !, 1t was
well received. The description of Nor
rs refusal to debate with Trnelseu at
Bemidii caught the crowd. The speaker
received hearty applause.
Mr.. Truelsen spoke to large and en-
thusiastic audience at Pierz Sunday al
ternOon.
