JUDAS THIRTY PIECES.


II is the misfortune, but not the
fault. of the Democratic party, that
for the last few years 1t has had nom-
inally in its ranks enough men VINO
are renegades In practice to mon0po-
lize all the positions which by law
or custom must be filed by members
of the party. With characteristic
hypocrisy the Mckinley administra-
tIon has set the example of appoint
ing to places of preferment men who
are charged up to the account OF
Democracy, but whose sole credential
10 Republican favor Is the fact that
I'm the last two national campaigns
S. they have bolted the Democratic
ticket and abjured Democratic princi'
ples, and have stood for all that has
been most injurious to the rights or
the people In the practices Of the Re
publican party.
1t is quite proper that. Republicans
should reward party traitors of this
kind, and we have no sort of fault to
find with that part OF the perform
ance, What we do complain of is that
such rewards should he held to sat
isfy the requirements of law design
ed to give, In good faith, fair show
to the party of the minority In the dis
trlbution of public positions, and to
secure, through such minority repre-
sentation, an efficient administration
Of the peoples affairs. 1t Is thor
oughly dishonest execution OF the law
which could be expected only Of m
administration which IL stranger
10 the regency of political conscience
and to any sense OF political proprlety
which knows nothing of statesman
ship, and which Is versed In nothing
so well as In the trick and chicant
OF peanut politics.
II Is not strange that, finding Itself
thus encouraged, political treachery
TO It's own party should be found VI
and down tho entire line Of adminis
tration,-from the national executive
10 the pettiest appointment In the
worst system OF municipal affairs
known IN corrupt politics. or that mer
should be everywhere parading thoil
selling out OF party associates AS Il
reason why they ought to get tn,
places for which they are clamorlng
And-considerIng the lllustrlous ex
ample set them, It is to be looked fol
that the small-fry should thus claim
and get their reward for party deser
tion.
We can only regret that n practic,

30 demoralizing to party polltIcs-an,
sooner or later 10 both parties, shoul,
receive the cOuntenance OF any ap

II may be. Party unfaithfulness, en-
couraged and rewarded, Is easily per

learned, the time finally comes whel
the party which fosters II becomes 1t

THE STRIKE AND PUBLIC OPINION.
(From the Springfield Republican,

tFrom the springfield hepuDncan.)
The partial strike against the United
States Steel corporation has lasted a
month. The general strike is now a
week old, and is becoming more and
more complete. The earlier promise of
ridiculous failure has given way now
to prospects of long drawn out strug
gle of immense damage to the workers,
the corporation and the country. Brit
ish interest in the struggle is said to
exceed the home interest, and for the
reason that it Is there viewed as pos
sessed of most injurious effects upon
the American steel invasion of outside
markets.
The particularly impressive feature
of this lamentable situation is the
evident helplessness of the nation in
the face of it. The contest has been
begun and is to continue in utter disre-
gard of the general welfare. Some
thing has been said about the force of
public opinion in determining the is
sue. Public opinion is just as power.
full and no more so, to determine the
| issue, as it Is to stop the fighting in
its incipient stages and avert the dam
age. 1t has proved to be Of no weight
in the one case, and is likely to be
equally uninhuential in the other. The
victory will finally perch upon the ban
ners of Tie most-endurlng battalions
and they are under the command OF
capital.
Public opinion has undoubtedly beer
an influence In strikes. If it has been
a fair and determining influence, ther
the right has generally been with capi
tai, for nearly all the large strikes
have been failures But these grea
aggregations of capital and labor
such as are now involved, tend to ris,
above public opinion. The United
States Steel corporation has exhibited
an utter contempt for this influence
by refusing to make any public state
ment of its position in the controversy
The Amalgamated association pays OH
ly n little greater homage to publ
opinion by Offering n statement whicl
fails to define IA clear-cut issue calcu
lated to appeal to the people at large
1t may be right in declaring the trust
, ulterior purpose to be the crushing o
all union labor. The trusts refusa
to accept greatly modified propos
tion from the union, and finally t
submit the case to arbitration, tend
to support the claim, but otherwis
the evidence Is clouded.
So the fight Is to go on, whateve
0 the people generally may think Q
i however they may feel, and what ar
= '"'y SoihS w uo apout II Inc III
o mediate thing to be done Is to see tha
o neither force nor intimidation is use

BUFFALO TO WASHINGTON.
Weeping Thousands salute the Fu-
neral Train.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Through a
living lane of bareheaded people stretch
ing from Buffalo up over the Alleghenys,
down into the broad valley of the Sus-
auehanna and on to the marble city on
the banks of the shining Potomac the
nations martyred president made his last
journey to the seat of the government
over which he presided for four and a
half years. The whole country seemed to
have drained its population at the sides
of the track over which the funeral train
passed The thin lines through the noun
tains and the sparsely settled districts
thickened at the little hamlets, covered
acres in towns suddenly grown to the
proportions of respectable cities and were
congested into vast multitudes in the
larger cities. Work was suspended in
field and mine and city. The schools were
dismissed. And everywhere appeared the
trappings and tokens of woe. A million
flags at half mast dotted hillside and val
ley and formed thicket of color over
the cities. And from almost every banner
streamed bit of Grape. The stations
were heavy with the black symbols of
mourning. At all the larger towns and
cities after the train got into Pennsylva-
arms" kept back the enormous crowds.
The silence with which the countless
thousands viewed the remains of their
hero and martyr was oppressive and pro-
found. Only the rumbling of the train
wheels, the sobs from men and women
with tear stained faces and the doleful
tolling of the church and other bells
broke on the ear. At several places, Will
Transport Harrisburg and Baltimore, the
chimes played Cardinal Newman's grand
hymn. Taken altogether the journey
home was the most remarkable demon
stration of universal personal sorrow
since Lincoln was borne to his grave. Ev-
cry one of those who came to pay their
last tribute to the dead had an opportuni
ty to catch Il glimpse of the flag covered
bier elevated to view in the observation
car at the rear of the train.
The narrow, overhanging viaducts I'M
der which the train passed as it drew
slowly out of Buffalo bent beneath
the weight of crowded humanity, packed
there by the pressure of the tide of peo-
pie who filed all the adjoining streets.
The windows and roofs of the houses
and the roofs of the cars in the yards
We're black with people, all uncovered.
When the train had cleared the city, the
people were still there. standing at the
crossroads and in the fields 1t ran liter

ers from the surrounding country had

dinner on the royal yacht Ophir and an

the morning were speedily dispersed and
driven indoors. The luncheon and gem

residence of the lieutenant governor, was
cancelled as Il mark of respect to the
dead American president, and further
plans for an expression of regret were
made, but unayoidably abandoned.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
A Nights Rest In the Grent East
Room.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE re-
mains Of President Mckinley last night
lay in the east room of the White House,
where for more than four years he had
made his home as chief executive of the
great American republic Up stairs his
widow mourned for her dead in the fam
iy apartments that brought back but the
saddcst Of memories. 1t was with sim
pie ceremony and silence that fitted
perfectly the sadness of the occasion
that the body Of the late president was
borne along Pennsylvania avenue to the
White House and laid upon the bier in
the great east room where he had stood
So often in the pride of his manhood to
receive the greetings of the common peo-
pie he loved better than himself.
1t was fitting that such ceremony as
there was should be severely military in
character in recognition of the fact that
the president was the commander in
chief of the United States army and
navy. Nowhere was there show Of
civilian participation. The streets about
the station were filed with mounted
troops, and the station itself was occu-
pied by stalwart soldiers and sailors in
uniform The blue coated policemen and
''N '"''''hh tiipioNteS were I'LL
that stood for civil life.
The train bearing the presidents re-
mains arrived in the Pennsylvania rail
road station at S:3S last evening. The
streets around the station and Pennsyl-
vania avenue from there to beyond the
White House We're dense with people
waiting to view the sad march to the
White House.
Mrs. Mckinley and the first of the
mourning party from Buffalo arrived at
the White House at S52. The shades
of Mrs. McKinley's carriage were close
H drawn, and under the most stringent
eIders from Secretary Cortelyou abso-
lutely no newspaper men or others than
officials We're admitted even to the White
House grounds.

When arraigncd before Judge Edward
X. Emery in the county court at $3.50
o'clock, the prisoner stubbornly refused
to answer questions repeatedly asked of
him by District Attorney Penney as to
whether he had counsel or wanted coun.

Judge Emery assigned Hon. Loran l..
