Decide What to Do.
COMMENT ON SETTLEMENT

PITTSBURG, Pa. September 20-with
few exceptions work was resumed. AT least

day, and if the disgruntled tin workers can
be conciliated by next Monday all the

pected that the Riverside iron works at

ceive it's 1000 workmen on that morning.
Among the tin workers the feeling
against returning to work unless the union
is recognized is still strong but Influences

the strikers to reconsider their heated de-
termination before any rash move is made

withdraw his stipulation that the Star.

At McKeesport all the plants but one

upon recognition, were running full, and
the strike is regarded as a memory.

SECRETARY CAGES TRIBUTE.
Beautiful EuIoEy in nm Official Treas
ury Publication.

In this weeks publication of the treasury
decisions appears a beautiful tribute to
President Mckinley by Secretary Gage. In
this tribute Secretary Gage says:
1T has been thought proper to make sad
but official announcement of the tragic
death of William Mckinley, twenty-ffth
President of the United States, and to give
some expression of that tribute which his
character and deeds compel
1T needed not the shadows of death to
make the figure of the late President loom
large in the estimate OF mankind.
.'The republic he loved he lived to
broaden and unity as no previous Presi-
dent had done Under his prudent and far
seeing craftsmanship 1t took exalted place
in the community of nations.
From his place as private citizen, on
through many and increasing honors to his
final post as ruler of his people. he re-
mained true to the highest ideals.
by the people of the nation at large and
by the world he was known, and will live
in grateful annals. as gentleman of noble
heart, affectionate husband, STURDY
friend and a faithful and illustriouS Presi-
dcnt.
"In a long public life ever open to his
fellows, nothing ever found, even by
Incorporate partisan zeal, that would cast
shade upon his character.
..The kindly and unsefish attributes
which his colleagues knew and loved the
public felt, and now men of every faith ana
following join in reverent acknowledgment
of those distinctive virtues and abilities
that lift him among the truly great of all
ages.
'.The passing of presidents and kings
usually evokes tributes of praise, but In
William McKinley's life there was an ele-
ment that made him more than ruler, and
which, in the hour of his death, is above
the tribute of speech and tears.
"The ordinary tributes paid to the men,
ory of the great when they pass from
earth utterly fail to satisfy the mind in an
attempted application of them to our dead
President
