AS braggarts Vermonters are prob

kind. BY singular great fortune, they
bave had rather more to brag about
than the rest OF mankind, and they
have an inalienable right to brag of the
achievements of their brothers, from
Ethan Allen down to Dewey and Clark,
from Gov. Chittenden down to Morrill,
and Edmunds. But man cannot live
by bread alone, and Vermont cannot
keep her place in the line of progress
by forever recalling the past and glori-
Tying its achievements. There is other
work TO do or Vermont's sun will set.
The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose and Phpbus sprungl
Eternal summer glds them yet
But all except their sun is sell
So sang q great poet of England,
and in his song there is warning for
any community or people who dwell
too long, who lean too bard, on the
past. Vermont must get her political
institutions into line with true repub-
lican principles. She must do as q
State what her most prosperous and
thriving municipalities are doing for
their moral and material progress, if
she will escape the fate of burned out
suns or decadent peoples. OF this the
Messengers article is an admonition,
and it must be needed, whether or not
it is agreeable. 1t is more wholesome
than unlimited and indiscriminate laud-
alton. And it is needed. What Yer
mont has done for the nation and the
other States Of the Union is all true.
The statements of existing conditions
at home are equally true and it is fool
ish and dangerous to blink them.

THE STEEL STRIKE.

PITTsRURe, Pa, Aug. 20.-The
United States Steel Corporation made
series of gains on Monday in the res
toration of properties crippled by the
-, strike of the Amalgamated Association
and its sympathizers. Two more mills
in the Painter plant were started up
and another large mill at the Clark
property was also operated for the first
time. There was some disorder in the
streets of Monessen during the day, but
the local police never lost control of
the demonstrative crowds and there
was no serious trouble.
The re-opening of the Monessen mill
is believed to be the first Of series OF
aggressive moves on the part of the
corporations. Preparations are known
to be in progress for resuming the Star
tin mills in this city and for increasing
he force at the Lindsay & McCutcheou
mills, and it is thought 10 be only
matter Of time before the strougholds
of the strikers like Newcastle, McKees-
port, Wheeling, Bellaire and Mil 90
Junction will be invaded. The strikers
deny that any real progress has been
made at either Monessen or Painters
and say that they are not to be fright
ened by the burning of a lot of coal aud
the mere operation Of machinery They
say that skilled men cannot be secured
outside their ranks and that none Of
their men are deserving despite claims
to the contrary.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 2S.-At eight
o'clock this morning the Carnegie mills
at Duquesne are still running, and the
situation is not materially changed.
The men have not gone out and there
has been no discharges of the day turn
men. Yet it is believed to be only
question of few days at most until
the men come out. Practically the
same crews are working in the four
Painter mills this morning. The skill
ed men are increased by one, James
Scott, former employe. Since the
strike Scott has been on the Anal
gamated pay roll as organizer. His
DETECTION is kesnly resented by the
Early reports from McKeesport tell
OF important developments in the work
Of organizing foreigners with the
strikers. Other than this the situation
was unchanged over night. Over 200
Hungarian laborers were organized by
the Federation of Labor last night and
many will join the lodge today.
