The striking girls from Harvey Bros
silk mill held n meeting yesterday af-
ternoon at Carpenters hail. and there
approved the action of the executive
committee in passing the resolutions.
printed in yesterday mornings Trib-
une. signfying the Willingness of the
strikers to settle the present difficulties
by arbitration.
a committee was also appointed by
the chairman to draw up scale of
wages, which will be put into the
hands of the arbitrator or arbitrators,
as the case may he. This action will
be followed by the locals of all the
mills. The scale adopted by the Har-
rcy girls is the same as that which
was drawn w by the general scale
committee six weeks ago and presented
to the mill owners. one important
concession made, however. is in the
matter of fines.
one of the officials of the Harvey
workers union yesterday remarked
that the members of the association,
far from obiecting to the fining sys-
tenn, on the contrary approved of ii as
a matter of necessary discipline. She
furthermore announced that the Har-
vcy girls entertain no other grievances,
and that the only matter in which an
Improvement is asked is the wage
scale prevailing at the mill.
MEETS This MORNING.
The executive committee will meet
this morning at Carpenters hall, and
will further discuss the matter of arb1-
tration, and decide on the number of
arbitrators in whose hands will be en-
trusted the strikes future. No action
will be taken by the mill owners re-
garding the questions of arbitration
until the return from the South of
Valentine Bliss and Superintendent w.
II. Davis, of the Sauquoit mill
These two gentlemen, as the pro-
prietor of three local plants and super
intendent of the largest silk manufac-
turing establishment in the country,
naturally control the situation, and the
smaller mill owners are unwilling 10
take any action before they are on the
scene. Messrs. Bliss and Davis are eX-
Dected home within week, and
straightway on their arrival "a meet
ing will be called of all the owners OF
local and Pittston mills, at which the
strikers proposition will be seriously
considered.
Alfred Harvey. part proprietor of
Harvey Bros South Scranton silk mill
and Forest City plant, yesterday de-
clared his Willingness to arbitratc, and
thus expressed himself to a Tribune
man:
WHAT HARVEY SAID.
Il certainly would be willing TO have
this strike settled by arbitration, pro-
viding it could be left to intelligent
persons, men who are COnversant with
the situation and silk business in gem
eral. In this matter, as in everything
pertaining to a settlement of the strike.
we stand willing to follow the example
Of the Sauquoit mill.
AS to the details for choosing "a
board of arbitration we would be
willing to choose one person and let
the strikers have the choice of another,
the two To select a third arbitrator"

The largest cane manufacturing
plant in the world has just been
shipped, chiefly from New Orleans,
to Cuba. The capacity of the mills
and refinery is 10000 tons of cane
per day, and it is proposed to be
much increased before long, as the
company-the Chapparra Sugar Co.
of New York-has "a, OOOacres, equal
to 100 square miles, of the finest
sugar lands in Cuba. The cost of
the plant was over $15O,O0O. Ex-
Congressman r. B. Hawley, of Gal
weston, Texas, is the president Of
the COMPANY. He is also a sugar
planter in Louisiana, and his course
in embarking in the same industry
in Cuba seems to be causing con-
siderable criticism in New Orleans,
as Cuba, with it's cheap labor, is ex-
pected to develop ruinous competi
ton with the Gulf Safes unless a
substantial Tariff is maintained on
sugar.

IF it is complained that the farmer
gets too little for his crops and his
stock and his eggs and fruit and
milk, as compared with what the
middleman receives for these
necessaries, what must he think if
he ever comes to town and dimes at
a first-class restaurant and sees
for. himself the differenceb between
the price he gets and the price de-
lnanded by the owner of the
dining room? The prices of the
markets are as nothing. The

sample of the quickness with which

to the Chinese weakness for plumber

asm- ,lamaniation Of his taking OFF,
leAds such elements of tragic pathos
toS the profound sense of public loss
that one thinks in this awful mo-
ment less of the station than of the
hind hearted and noble gentleman
whose whole public life had been H.
by the rare combintion of
personal excelenceies which made
him a great and good man in every
Station. Exceptin the case of Presi-
dent whose death has been go keenly
left as personal bereavement by
millions who never saw him and
never shook the grcious hand which
was always cordially extended in
kindly greeting to all who approach
ed him. He was the most popular
of all our presidents except Lincoln,
because he had the earnest love for
the people and the abiding faith in
the people which marked him as a
thorough American in the genuine
ness of his democratic instincts and
isympathies. Many candidates for
public honors affect these sentiments
Mckinley left them. They were a
part of his being the key to all his
measuresas legislator, to all his
policies as president.
!, And the dominant note in the uni
sve1sal lamentation- over the awful
tragedy Of his premature death will
no doubt be one Of the profoundest
pity that man so clean in his great
office should not have been permit
ted to complete the recorvd Of q
public life and Of an administration
(which was illustrated by such grand
achievements for his country at
home and abroad; that he should
have been struck down in the zenith
of his splendid physical and in in
tellectual powers while the great
work he had planned to do was still
but which was sufficient
" far advanced to enable the -coun-
try to realize the benefcent fruits of
his policies at home and abroad.
But if he lies stark and stiff in the
Millburn house at Buffalo, his work
will go on just the same in the
hands Of other builders. He is dead,
but the Republic lives; and his
esprit and p1inciaples will survive
in the administration of the great
office that never dies The accession
Of Theodore Roosevelt to the presi-
dency means a change Of men in
that Office, but no change of admin
istration and no change of policies.
He has been one of the. most loyal
supporters and advisers Of President
Mckinley and his public utterance
make it evident that he is the most
complete and cordial sympathy with
all the leading measures and policies
of the deceased president.

-3A-aoPVON"
1t begins to be more clearly recog-
nized that the true doctrine of abe
anarchists comprises the exter1ni-
nation of all rulers. The doctrine
Of Emma Goldman, the ana1chistic
orator and advocate, clearly presents
this phase of anarchy The wretch
who shot President Mckinley says
he was SO fired by the preachings of
Emma Goldmn that he could not re-
sist the impulse to kill some ruler,
and that he shot the President, not
because he was bad President OF a
bad man, but simply because he
was a ruler; and that he naturally
selected the first great ruler within
view, who happened to be the
President of the United States:
There are thousand million people
on the globe, and . the obligation Of
killing. all rulers, no matter how Sc
lected, and no matter whether they
are the choice of the people, would
produce chaos, confusion and a
political hell utterly indescribable.
So it would appear: that anarchy is
not government but no government
at all, where each other like men
would be let loose to prey upon
each other like wolves and hyenas.
With the anarchists it is not the
badness OF injustice of the gorvern-
ment, that is resented, and therefore
they say, Government must be
stricken down and let chaos take it's
place.
Such being the case, it is no sur
prise that anarchism appears SO
dreadful to the thouhgtful mind.
It's followers offer nothing better
than. the existing order of things.
They SIMPLIFY demand destruction
a I'd desolation of all rulers without
regard to the consequences. The
anarchists are not only the enemies
of society, but the enemies Of every
man, woman and child who strives
to live decent and orderly life.
Such being the doctrines Of Emma
Goldman, and the real anarchist
wherever he may be, it would seem
the duty Of the police in every city
in the country to prevent this woman
and her like from haranguing the
people or publishing any books or
pamphlets in favor Of their tloct-
Fines. The United States law now
fOrbids indecent. and more dreadful
and more diabolical than the Gold
Ian theory? Something must he
done to check the spread and growth
of anarchistic doctrines in this
coutry. and virtual suppression will
seem to sagacious persons the most
powerful agency in meeting: tn -
thousand devils which must spring
from the crater Of such a political
hell.
Not few think the anarchists
ought to be disfranchised. and that
it might be easy to ascertain how
many: there are in a community if
the inspectors of election, besides
the ordinary question now reqolir-
ed as to age, residence and other
qualifications of the voters, should be
authorized to squarely ask: "Are you
q anarchist ?''That would tend to dis
close the number who reside in our
country. Generally speaking, the
anarchists are bold and llnshrinking
in stating their view of goveren-
ment, and therefore the simple
question, Are you an anarchist?'
would be truly answered by the
followers of that party-Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin.

The greatest objection to evil-do-
ing is that it does not pay.
Think Of man paying his money
for a habit which will finally cause
him to lose the respect of his fellow
men, and render him incapable of
earning a ivlihood for his family.
This is what whisky will do for a
man.
AS people increase in intelligence
evil habits decrease. There is less
evil in the world now than ever be-
fore, but there will always be
enough of it to render the great mass
of the human family wretched.
The good that has been accomplis-
ed in combating evil is due to COM
mon sense methods, not to revivals
and crusades. The theory of the
revivalist and crusader is that the
saloon is a gilded palace where
pleasure is found. The reverse is
true; it is low place where, man
pays his money for misery.
This is the new doctrine; for your
own sake he temperate and honora-

cannot possibly succeed as we'll in
