M'KINLEY.

For Tie Tribune
A great but simple man,
The ruler OF this mighty land;
One Of the people, chosen for his worth
10 rule the greatest nation on the earth.
No line ancestral adds lnstre to his name;
No titled rogue or harlot bcnucaths shame;
4 private from tho ranks. he rose
To rank among the greatest this world knows.
Oh! Why should such man he stricken doSn
BY anarchisic anti.Christic hound!
lie was no dcspot, whose ukasc sent
Numbers to death and into Punishment
But mcrcful even unto those who snned.
Their punishment lie often did rcscind
His critics say he erred mcrcy's side,
So seldom was his clcmency denied.
But yet he was not weak When wars alarm
Rang o'cr our land his was the strong right arm
That stcered the ship OF state the troubled waters
o'cr
And brought it safely. eloriously to shore.
The honor of our flag he did maintain:
The prestigc that he earned it will retain;
The foreign power that had but sncers and icers
Is most respectful now. because it fears
We mourn our loss: the nation stands in grict
Beside The bier of him. our martyred chief.
And while our country stands. or flag shall %avc,
Tears shall not TO fall upon his grave.
North. south. east and west will bring
Cnitcdly their offering,
And children yet unborn shall claim
A birthright in his dcalhcss fame.

~ NE OF THE finest tributes to
the martyr-president that we
~ have seen was spoken in
Plymouth church, Utica, last
Sunday evening by Congressman James
S. Sherman, who spoke from long
and intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Mckinley. 1t is a classic worthy of
preservation in every scrap book. Mr..
Sherman said:
Only brief month ago. william Mckinley was
the most beloved and, without exaggcraton, the
greatest ruler on the face Of the earth. Tonight
he has taken his place as the most conspicuous
figure in recent history. 1t has been said that
seine arc born great some achieve greatness
and some have greatness thrust upon them
William Mckinley was born with a mind, a
heart and soul. clear. bright and pure He
cultivated the gifts God had given him. so that
by achievement he prepared 10 accept the
responsibilities and cares which his fellow men
thrust upon him and discharged them in way
that rcdounded to the happiness OF the people
and the advancement Of the power and influence
OF his country, and which has given his name a
place high in the temple of fame The span of
his life was brief, and yet brief it was few
men have ever accomplished so much for the
g,cry OF God and the good Of mankind. At

in Pennsylvania continues
to favor us with literature soliciting
support for the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the legislature to
enact laws requiring the personal reg
istration of voters. 1t takes pains to
assure us that this amendment is not
opposed by the Republican organiza-
tion, but on the contrary is favored
by many of the men prominent among
the stalwarts.
This is true; there is no factlonal
complexion to the matter. Yet we do
not find anything in the amendment
to call for enthusiasm. 1t is proper
that the legislature should have the
power to enact registration law if
1t wishes so to do; and for that rea-
son alone we support the amendment,
which confers that power, leaving with
the legislature the option of it's use.
But at the same time we oppose the
registration idea as useless and an
noying; and trust that the legislature,
II empowered. will not use it's power.
Those who advocate personal regis
tration say it will purify the ballot
but experience does not sustain that
hope. There is personal registra-
tion law in New York city, yet Tam
many has usually little difficulty in
stuffing the ballot boxes whenever and
to whatever extent 1t deems necessary.
There is personal registration in Troy,
N. Y, and the murder of Robert Ross
by Bat Shea was a consequence of an
attempt to head off a gang of repeat
ers that regularly at every important
election used to so from poll to poll,
voting from dawn to dark.
Personal registration imposes no
check upon fraud where the intent

An UntimeIy Strike.

,NROM NoMMENIS heafd yes
X terday among all classes of
Il citizens it is evident that the
employees of the Scranton
Railway company do not have the
sympathetic support from the public
in this, their second strike within one
year, that they had at the beginning
of their first battle. We do not think
that the company has gained much in
public favor in the interval; but the
strikers themselves appear to have
lost in public support. Then they had
clear case: now the public is unable
to perceive any adequate justification
for their course.
The right of an employer to discharge
for cause is soldly grounded in busi-
ness necessity. The right of a labor
union to challenge this right and to
demand, before one or more of its
members may be dismissed, that a
public trial shall take place, is not so
clear. When the manager of the trac-
tion company agreed to submit to
man like Bishop Hoban or one whom
he might designate the reasons why
tllc COMPANY uISiiiSSeu lue w tIll-
ployes over whom the strike arose,
and further agreed that if the bishop
or his deputy found those reasons
insufficient he would pay the men
for the time lost, an overture was
made that went as far in the direc-
tion of conciliation as any self-re-
specting employer ought to be expected
tn IA a, ba
ment of his business.
The calling Of strike at this time,
when Scranton Is just beginning to re-
cover from the disastrous effects Of a
series Of strikes, would have been in
judicious even though the reasons for
it seemed ample. 1t must be remem-
bered that something is due to the
public, upon which the brunt of strike
losses falls. Our merchants We're just
announcing their fall sales, hoping by
means of them to regain something of
the losses sustained through the dull
summer period and on account of pre-
Vious strikes. This strike deals them
a heavy blow and one they have not
merited. Our public schools are just
beginning their autumn activity and
this strike subjects to Inconvenience
thousands of school children who use
the street cars in going to and from
school. All phases of business suffer
on account of this summary suspension
of rapid transit facilities; and the case
of the strikers should be impregnable
and the justice of it instantly apparent
to warrant such wholesale public in
jury.
We cannot see that the warrant is
sufficient. We are confident that the
public does not so regard it. This be-
Ing true, the strike cannot succeed and
for the strikers to persist in it would
be manifestly unwise.

I'VE note with pleasure the fact that
all the newspapers of this city are sat
isfied with the telegraphic news SER
vice which they receive. This is a
consummation devoutly to be wished
For ourselves we are more than satis-.
ned. The Tribune has had offers to
take the Publishers Press service and
also the news report of the Laffan
News bureau. In each case the price
asked was below that which we are
paying for membership in the Asso-
ciated Press. We adhered to the lat
ter, because 1t is the one news associa-
tion In existence which is interna-
tional In scope, which has members in
all the large cities, which has the
largest resources, the greatest number
OF correspondents, the best organiza-

to defraud exists and has the support
of those in control of the election ma
chinery. Fraud Is independent Of reg
istration and must he attacked by 9TH
er means. Registration simply annoys
class of citizens who usually forget
to register. thereby increasing the ma
jority Of the professionals, who regis
ter as they vote, early and sometimes
often.
Pass the amendment If you want to,
but don't think that 1t will work any
change in human nature. If fraud Is
to be stopped, there are laws enough
now; but no law will enforce itself.

LARGE QUANTITIES OF SUGAR
AWAITING SHIPMENT.
Big Price Paid to Tow the Ship S. D.
Carleton to Kahului to Take Special
Load.

If some of the vessels which are due
here do not arrive soon the various
sugar people will be put to sore straits
to get rid of their production. The
Shipment of sugar from this port is
now at standstill and for the first
time in years the agents are unable
to secure enough bottoms to carry the
stuff away.
The sugar is piling up on the differ
ent wharves waiting for vessels to come
and take it. The Rosamond expects
to get away by tomorrow or the fol-
lowing day for San Francisco with su-
gar. Gangs are working day and night
with her and other vessels in port dis
charging cargo so that sugar can be
taken on.
Alexander and Baldwin paid $3.50 to
nave the ship S. c. Carleton lowed to
hahului in order to take a load of SUI
gar TO the Coast. The steamship Ha-
Waiian is to be delayed several weeks
in order to make a special trip back TO
the Coast with sugar. By the time she
gets back here the Oregonian should
be nearing her journey to San Fran
cisco and reach here soon so as to take
a second cargo of sugar around the
Horn.
The schooner cambridge could have
taken cargo of sugar to San Francis
co had her master received orders from
the agents to do so but as he did not
he will have to go in ballast back to
the Sound.

night at their new house on Lighthouse
Reef. The occasion was the opening of
their house which they have erected
close to the lighthouse. Two launch

ran the launches from the mainland for
the accommodation of the crowd of
men and women. The new house will
be the future home of the Young broth
ers. 1t is very pretty little cottage
with spacious lanais. The boys had the
lanais lighted with japanese lanterns
while the interior of the house was
decorated tastefully. A delightful even

caused in naming the house. After
many names had been suggested that
of "Halelana," the house on the reef,
which had been suggested by the ladies,
was selected. Refreshments We're serv-
