Mr.. OIne,,s arraipumept

In ranging himself on the side of the
people in their fight against piutocracy aad
for the preservation of our free institu-
tons. the Hon. Richard OIney, of Massa-
chusetts has rendered a service of higher
value TO the nation than even that per-
formed when, as Secretary of State. he
boldly proclaimed the doctrine that the
fiat of the United States is the law of the
New World in its relations to Europe"
This enunciation called the attention of
Europe to the United States in a new way
and gave US a position in the family of
nations which the Old World had not pre-
viously been willing to concede us.
What Mr.. Olney did for the country in
Its international relations he has now
done for the people in their relations to
the Observation-Disclosures their attention
in staTtlingly forcible manner to the
actual dangers that beset them. Mr. OIL
ney declares that if Mr. Mckinley is re-
elected 1T will mean that the American
people sanction a syndicated Presidency
Presidency got for the Republican party
by the money of a combination of capital
lists intent upon securing national IegisIa-
tion in aid of their particular interests"
1t will mean. Mr.. Olney goes on to
EaE, that the American people approve
the legislation thus obtained and justify
such legislation as the Dingley Tariff bill
with all its devices for taxing consum-
ers and wage-earners-that is. the great
mass OF the people-in exoneratfon of ac-
cumulated wealth. 1t Will mean that the
American people uphold the policy of
greed ard contempt for alien peoples
whose retributive consequences are seen
in recent events in China; approve of our
Joining the ranks of international land
grabbers, and sanction the rapacity as
well as The folly by which, while pre-
tending TO BUY. we in fact forcibly ex-
pelitd Spain from, her Philippine posses
sions, ard, without excuse either in the

eraiions of the national intes cs., have

Hrgh Farreliy tells a good story illus
tra ing the gauzy character of the claim Of
Republicans that their party is opposed TO
trusts. "a short time ago. he says, Aone
of two twin brothers became degnented,
and was found by examination in the Pro-
bate Court to be in that condition A COM
mitment to the insane asylum was made
out, and as the other twin who closely
resembled his insane brother, vas able to
control him better than anyone else he
was deputized by the sheriff and the com
mitnlent turned over TO him to convey the
unfortunate brother TO the asylum. Short
ly after the brothers arrived at the ASYLUM
the sheriff received the following telegram
from the superintendent: Two brothers
who look just alike are here from your

INVULNERABLE ARMoR PLATE
Remarkable Results of Tests Made
at Indian Head

The most remarkable results yet OBJ
tanned in armor test at the naval proving
station, Indian Head, Nd, were secured
shown that a 6-ineh rife of the quick
fire type is no match for the new armor
now manufactured for the four monitors.
The test demonstrated the wonderful
tensile strength and resisting qualities
OF armor manufactured by the present
system. Years ago it was not infre-
quent for a Pinch gun TO penetrate
eighteen inches of armor, the heavy back
ing. and to enter many feet in the earth
en- bank behind. Today plate tapering
from eleven inches to about six and rep
resenting all the side armor for the new
monitor Arkansas was fired on twice by
a 6-inch rife with yelocities of 1853 feet
per second, or several feet higher than
the usual rate OF flight per second. and
from neither shot was there the slightest
resemblance OF serious injury to the
plate The first shot went at the thick
est part of the plate and entered but two
inches, the head of the projectile break
ing up badly, while not radial crack
was in evidence.
With the same rate of flight another
projectile was sent at the plate and this
too. failed To get beyond two inches Dene-
tration. No signs of weakness were
shown and the acceptance of the entire
lot of armor was insured. 1t is of the
Haryeyized variety.
The armor fred on yesterday was said
at the Navy Department to be at least ~
per cent better than perhaps any armor
of equal thickness made in Europe. 1t

,Tbe T,bre.tenea Coal strike.

The general consensus of opinion at the
coal trust headquarters in New York, in
Pennsylvania, and at Indianapolis, where
the executive board OF the mine workers
is in session, is that the threatened strike
in the anthracite region is not to be avoid
ed and will be ordered Saturday night 10
go into effect Monday morning.
Opinions naturally differ as 10 the NUM-
Der of men who will be affected by the
movement. AS always happens in such
cases, the operators express confidence
that only small percentage of miners will
go out, and they believe. or affect to, that
they are well entrenched against any trou-
BILE that might be expected TO ensue upon
their filling the places of the strikers with
imported laborers Recently the trust in
lucnces in Pennsylvania were able to com
pass the retirement of Major General
Snowden, a sturdy old soldier and a con-
servative American, from command of the
State forces and TO put a Standard Oil
man in his place. They control the Gov
ernor and between him and his general,
they do not anticipate any difficulty in
holding the situation down by military
force Leading members of the mine work
ers' organization say that instead of a
small number. from seventy to eighty per
cent OF the men VIII obey the strike order,
although not all of them may quit work
on Monday
The differences between the anthracite
operators and their miners would seem TO
be easy of adjustment. were the former
iInbued with any spirit OF justice. But. as
far as We can judge. they are utterly in
different and callous TO the reasonable de-
mands OF the workers They refuse 10

willing 10 confer with their own employees.
| This locks fair on its face: but in practice.
when The men of any mine go to their op-
orator with 4 demand or grievance. he
tells them that he cannot afford to eoncede
the one Or redress the other. unless all ths
other operators do the same. Thus ha
miners are barred from reaching the op-
orators as a body. except through their
own general organization great conveE-
fence TO the operators. which they utilize
by Ignoring that organization Again. the
law fixes the weight of ton OF coal az
twenty-five hundred and forty pounds. az

ry-three hundred pounds as the quantity
the miner must produce in order 10 re

Owing to the peculiar superstitions %
the Chinese people the greatest care must
be exercised in the treatment OF cities
after they have been captured and it will
be unfortunate for the allied forces if in
capturing Tientsin they have wrecked
any considerable property or done any
unnecessary boElbarding or destruction
of walls The Chinese locate cities just
as they huild houses or dig graves, ac-
cording to the directions of their geo-
manceTs or earth Doctors &c they cell
them. Before they viii build = @. o..

a spot originally declared TO be lucky
should be followed by bad luck to the one
selecting it. other geomancers will be
called in, and if the spot is pronounced
by them TO be unlucky it Will at once be
abandoned.
The entire city of Pel1ia was moved
by the first Emperor of the Mongol dy-
nasty because the earth doctors told him
that bad luck was associated with the
old site, and that if he wished to estab-
lish his dynasty he must build a new
capital. The modern city of Fekin was
the result The ancient walls OF the old
city are still TO be seen on the banks of
The Hun River, about eight miles south
west of the present city, although it was
abandoned over seven centuries ago The
cities ravaged by the Taipings fifty years
ago have never recovered because the
Chiiase believe that their luck had been
spoiled When the cities were occupied
and pIundered by the rebels the popua-
tion abandoned them, and they have
built new towns and new cities, rather
than tempt fate by rebuilding the old
ones. The Chinese will abandon houses
