THE END OF THE STEEL STRIKE.

With the opening of the mills at McKeesport
the steel strike may be said to have finally
ended, even though few plants still closed
and scme of the steel workers still hold out
against the inevitable. McKeesport was the
strikers stronghold. There they had the sup
port of the authorities in pursuing a lawless
course and their complete surrender there
marks the collapse of Shaffer's ambitious cam
pagn for power. His leadership has robbed the
Amalgamated Association of practically all
thority as an arbiter of the labor situation in
the steel industry. Not only is it left weaker
by far than when the strike began, but weaker
than il would have been if any of the
offers made by the manufacturers during the
progress of the strike and rejected by the union
lists had been accepted.
The association loses it's standing in several
mills and henceforth will not be regarded as
representing the steel workers of the country.
1t has lost the privilege of the annual confer
ence with the employers. a much more serious
blow, for that status negotiator between
the companies and their men was one of its
chief sources of power over the latter. and one
of its chief instruments for obtaining conces-
sons from the former. 1t has also lost. most
serious of all, the goodwill and respect of the

those who more severely condemn the recx-

been managed. Vain, ambitious or unscrupu-

and prestige TO enforce eXtravagant and un-

The Day AND THE HORLD-

The last day Of the drama of woe is come. 1t
dawns upon such a spectacle as man seldom
has seen before Webster described the earth
circled with continuous and unbroken
strain of the martial airs of England. To-day
it is circled with halfmasted flags and sable
streamers and all the trappings and the suits
of woe. Not more than once, if even once, in
history has the worlds mourning been gen
eral il is to-day. Our whole nation
pauses from its vocations and gives up the day
TO solemn commemoration- In scarcely less
measure so does our sister nation of Great Brit
ain, from King to humblest commoner paying
tribute of sympathy for which no precedent
nor parallel is to be found. The French Re
public halts in its high festivities and surren-
ders the day TO mourning. The other nations of
Europe, and those of Asia. of Africa, of South
America, Of far away Australia and the isl
ands of the all join never before in
sentiment which makes the whole world kin.
Grateful indeed, is it TO this stricken land thus
10 be sustained with sympathy, and noble is il
in those who lay aside all former rvalries in
this generous outburst of fraternal fellowship.
1t will not be forgotten.
The causes of this scarcely precedented dis
play of sympathy varied. but are not diff
cult to divine The personal character of the
tion of his taking off, may be named conspcu-
ously among them. There is, too, the wider
knowledge of Mckinley which the world pos
sessed than OF almost any of his predecessors.
Each year sees international communications
made closer and more intimate. and interna-
tionaI knowledge of men and affairs made fuller
and more perfect. There is also the large part
which Mckinley played in International affairs.
No other President has touched the world. or
under no other administration has this nation
touched the world. AT many points as he and
his The worldwide interest i'm the financial
issue upon which he so largely came into office
as well as in the tariff policy with which he
had hitherto been identified. the war with
Spain, the acquisition of outlying territories in
various parts of the world. the leading part
taken in the congress al The Hague the action
Of American troops and of American diplomats
in China, the movement for Pan-American
Congress-these and other things set all the
world 10 thinking of the United States and of
its President. The phrase world power is
hackneyed. yet il indicates in a measure the
change in American status which from some
points Of view effected under McKinley's
administration. No wonder that the world
takes greater note Of this nations affairs than
ever before.

BACK TO THE ORIENT.

In more than one American city of no mean
rank Cinnamon who have been toling for many
a year and living chiefly on rice are preparing
TO return to the scenes of their childhood with
the savings which they have set aside from the
money earned in this country The longing 10
see their fatherand again and 10 spend their
declining years in conditions and surroundings
from which they derive more satisfaction than
seems TO them possible of attainment in
America has become consuming flame in their
hearts.
The Dragon Kingdom has been abased and
Inundated i'm the ey es of the nations. and its
pride has been cast down. Millions of its peo-
pie are almost on the verge of starvation. The
recent floods have been frghtfully destructive
of life and of property. Taxes will he higher

populous country of the globe are not alluring in
the judgment of unbiased observers. Never
theIess disciples of Confucius who have been
prospering under the Stars and Stripes in the
Chinese quarters of New-York and other i'm
portant American cities are not willing TO re-
main here permanently. OF course, there are
exceptions to this rule. but it was long ago
chroncled that the dearest wish of the most
successful merchants and others in Chinese
colonies was to go back to the Orient and re-
main there after they had got together money
enough to provide for their old age in the
country from which they came. In the East
their lot may be uncertain. They may be sub
jected to exactons almost intolerable, and OPP
pressions and troubles which they would never
encounter in this republic may be heaped upon
them. Yet go they WILL The old home calls
to them, and they shut their to other
voices. Nothing can persuade them to abide
here to the end, if their possessions suf

the mandarins with the possibility of self-sup-
port. Even NewYork most cosmopotan and
most hospitable of great New World capitals,
cannot prevail upon them to tarry here. This
movement back over the Pacific suggests more
than one theme for study.

80 GRAVE! WHERE is THY TICTORY?"

In bitter voiceless unavailing grief
The Nation mourns its Chief
And reverent bends
While On the land the hush of death descends.
Dead. the simple, kindly man.
Dead! the plain republican;
Dead! the great American:
In flower of manhood and renown
BY cruel treason stricken down.
No noble life was ever spent in vain
The martyr suffers that the cause may gain;
Gods path is through the deep
And who weep
The hero lost shall reap
Fruit of his sowing though the sower sleep.
The Nation mourns its Chief
In bitter Voiceless, unavaling grief.
Be ours the lot to follow where he led
Here in the sacred presence of the dead
Let us take oath that Liberty and Law
Twin safeguards by our ancestors ordained
Shall without flaw,
Be faithfully maintained
But let us also
To hunt the mad beast, Anarchy, where'er
He burrows venomous with lust of blood.
Treading to mud
All holy things. befouling Humankind
Unclean, corrupt with hate and envy blind
Anathema on him declare
SO. brothers. let swear.
But let us not in righteous wrath forget
Justice is passionless and even handed,
The vilest felon shall discharge his debt
In orderly procedure as commanded
Till every voice repeat vita ave-
Thus saith the Law"
Now lift our martyr up
Who hath drained the bitter cup.
Who hath said, Gods will is best
Let us bear him TO his rest,
Give him all the honors due
To soldier tried and true,
To statesman broad and great.
To father of the people and chieftain of the
State
Party passion disappears.
All the Nation is in tears,
See the little children sobbins.
Women's tender hearts are throbbing
AS they think OF her he left,
or his loving care bereft
In her weakness and her need;
And the sterner hearts of men with pity bleed
With stately solemn ceremonies pay
Our tribute of respect TO his poor clay;
Let guns salute and muffled drums resound.
That all may know he passes homeward bound
Halfmast the flags and toll the funera. bells.
While chant of dirge and anthem upward swelis
The great Republic sorrows for ner son.
But after all is done.
Know that the form we lay beneath the sod
Is but the broken prison
or the bright soul arisen
In Joy to life eternal and TO God
o. mystery beyond our ken!
Amen.
