 SfrikerS

Pittsburg, July 25.-President Shaf- fer of the Amalgamated Association was in a more hopeful mood today than he has been for some time. He declared that he was perfectly satis- fled with his personal inspection of the conditions in Wellsville and apprehend- ed no difficulty in keeping his men in line in that place. Organizer Flynn. of tme American Federation of Labor. to- day called on President Shaffer. He said the entire organization is ready and waiting to assis. the Amalxamated Association both financially and nor ally in ttis strike whenever this as- sistance Is asked.
 Information from McKeesport today leads to the belief that the big mill of the National Tube Company would shortly be involved in the strike. This is pay day at the works and two prom irent members of the new Amalga- mated lodge that was organised there last Saturday received notice that their services were no longer required. It is reported that other members Of the union there got or will get similar mo- tice. That this will bring on a con- fiict at the mill there Is little doubt. for 1t Is blow at the very privilege that the Amalgamated Association is striving for at the other mills of tho trust,

Policing of South Africa.

Bloemfontein Corr. London Times.
 Much has been heard of the forma- ton of the South African conStabulary. but littse of the work accomplished by the force. As matter of fact they are slowly being organized into a servicea- ble body, and now in the vicinity of Bloemfontein are making themselves felt as an important factor in the pre- sent operations for the pacifcation of the country. Four thousand men here have been organized so as to render Bloemfonteon secure up to a radius of twenty miles. from which circle rami- fications will extend so as to increase this radius.
 The present scheme comprises opera tions over three areas. One is the po- tected area of twenty miles radius aforesaid. which for two months has been kept clear of the enemy. mainly by the good work of the farmer police, hitherto known as the burgher police. The two outside this will cover the oc- cupied area of the country enclosed by Kaffir River Station and Glen Station on the east. and a line drawn from PetruSburg on the south.

FRIDAY, JULY se, 1901.
A DREAMER OF DREAMS.

Tn the quiet old town of Norfolk, on the glittering sands by the sounding waters. The Virginian- Pilot dreams of pleasures past and gone, and lives on the delights of me IT ory and the sootE' ing influences of retrospt ction. dream anx of John Smith and Pocahontas, Patrick Henry and William J. Bryan, and others who have faded into the realm of dreamland. It is a haicyonic and drony old existence our contempo- rary lives. and We should dislike to disturb 1t.
 The Pilot cannot disabuse its mind of the idea that MT. Bryan in 1896. and again in 1900. was the innocent victim of a spontaneous uprising of the Amer can people, and that the nominations and platforms were sprung on him while he was helpless and unsuspect- ing. With "a smile that Is child like and bland" our contemporary wants to know Awhat is Bryanism?" as if The Advertiser were teaching kinder garten or furnishing pabulum for suck ing babes. Then this comes:
 Surely The Advertiser must know that it Is absurd to speak of MT. Bryan g ..forcing his nomination at Chicago How, pray, could a man with no organi- zatioh and with practically no pledged delegates force himself on convention The contention is untenable. If ever a convention did spontaneously. and of It's own accord, name a candidate, 1t was tne Chicago convention.
 Ia not that deliciously unsoDhlSu- cated and refreshing? The Pilot well knows that if MT. Bryan had remained away from Chicago, and had not made that fIamboyant speech which took away the senses of a majority of the delegates. his nomination would not have been among the probabilities. It knows, further, that his views had been made public so unmistakably that there was no difncluty about making a plat form which would be exactly in line with his wishes. That he did not write the platforms with his own hands, or dictate them directly to an amanuensis as perhaps true. but they were his just as palpably as if they had been handed by him to the delegates and adopted without change or interpolation. Tech nically he neither wrote the platform nor nominated himself. but as a matter of recorded history he did both.
 While The Pilot is dreaming dreams and seeing visions. let 1t not labor tC build up a reputation as e dodger.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE UNSAFE.
All Street Car Traffic is suspends

All Street Car Traffic is Suspended.
 New York, July 25.-No attempt was made this morning, to resume a full service on the Brooklyn bridge, on which several suspension rods were found broken yesterday. Engineers ex- amined the bridge carefully todays and 1t is expected that full repairs will be made in a day or two.
 About noon an order was issued stop ping all street car trafflc on the bridge.
 Acting City Attorney Lebar has call ed attention to Police Commissioner Murphy to the report that the break age was known to the bridge officials for a week. If this were so, said the attorney. and no steps were taken to protect the public. then the officials were guilty of criminal negligence. and the case will be presented at once to the grand jury.

 Colonel Herbert has been severely criticised for some of his utterances recently, but his critics are small pota- toes. He has been accused of disloy- atty to his friends. which we think is wrong indeed. Colonel Herbert is a man of ability, and is possessed of a high sense of honor and we see noth- ing in his speech to warrant such at- tacks. He has a right to express him. self as to his belief on any and all prin- ciples. and he. too, has right to adopt them if they are right. and no man would be further from adopting a wrong principle than Colonel Herbert.
