in some cases ruled higher than the
union scale. Several conferences
we're held, and others attempted bu
no agreement was reached. Finally
President Shaffer of the strikers was
instructed to settle the matter on the
best terms possible that the mills
might open, and the idle men return
to work. 1t is understood that he
finally accepted the terms offered by
President Schwab of the steel trust
several weeks ago, which are as fol-
lows:
'The Amalgamated Association is
scale for all mills.
All mills are to be "open" mills in
the fullest sense of the term.
The company is to have the right
to place a non-union man in any
plant and keep him there.
The Amalgamated Association is to
have the privilege of organizing the
men in any of the plants"
If any. difference exists between
that condition and the state of affairs
which maintained before the strike
we confess it is too deep for our in
sight to penetrate. The strike has
cost the men several millions of dol
lars in wages, and the trust is out a
similar amount by reason of idle
mills and cancelled contracts. While
no one has any great love for the
steel trust, it is notable fact that
the strikers in this instance had but
little if any sympathy from the
general public. 1t is hard for men
who are earning from six to twelve
dollars a day to make the ordinary
citizen believe that he has grievance
that cannot be settled without resort
ing to strike. But the strike is over
and everybody is heartily glad of it
and willing to forgive the mistake on
both sides.

by the company except bill pre-
sented by the Oskaloosa Journal for
S65. This bill was ordered paid by the
city council under protest by the
street car company, and the company
now refuses to reimburse the city for
that amount. The representative
further says that the company had a
private contract with the Journal for
the payment of their bill and that $50
of the amount had already been paid.
The second election was held in
connection with the regular city cleo
tion in the spring, and was made
necessary by some errors committed
by the city clerk in advertising the
meetings of the Board of Registra-
ton. The street car company agrees
to pay all the printing and advertis-
ing bills but does not think it should
be called upon to help defray the
expenses of general election when
their part in it was made necessary
by an error. The difference between
the city and the street car company
in the second instance might be ad-
justed. but the company will not pay
that part of the expenses of the first
election noted above.
But the matter of election expenses
is a small matter What everybody
wants is an ele trio line, and we sim
cerely hope the company will realize
it's fond dream not only for its own
benefit but for the good it will do
OskaIoosa. Meantime the twenty day
limit for the removal of the old rails
from the streets of the city has ex-
pired.

If there is no God, or if God has
given US no law to govern our con-
duet, or if there is no hell for evil
doers, which, ask, will suffer most
by death; the president, or Czolgosz,
his assassin, who will be hungH Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Mckinley will be the
greatest loser and will suffer the
greatest punishment.
Why, then, should Czolgosz or any
other assassin fear death? Is it not
contrary to the first principles of
reason that the assassin should suffer
less than his victim? And yet this is
the very doctrine which those virtual.
ly teach who deny that God exists, or
that God has given us law we must
obey at our peril, or who deny that
there is a hell for those who will not
serve and love Him with their whole
souls.
1t is evident, too, that those who
may not formally deny these truths
but whose lives are a contradiction
to them, contribute their share to
make anarchists, or at least confirm
them in their anarchistic leanings.
And if such persons should belong,
either by birth or wealth, to our aris-
tocratic or governing classes, their
bad example is all the more detri.
mental to the public well being of the
nation.
From these considerations / think
it can readily be seen where we can
find sure cure for anarchy.

This does not represent the sums
that are raised by the several churches
for expenses, the $4,000 for the cur
rent expenses of the Y. M. O. A., or
the additional sums that have been
added to the Penn College endow-
ment and the Hospital fund. If
everything were included the total
would undoubtedly reach up to the
500, 900 mark. This is about $40 each

GEMEROnS OSKALOOSA.

Less than three-fourths of the first
year of the new century has passed,
and yet in that short tine Oskaloosa
has made a remarkable record for
generosity and progressiveness. In
the nine months, which still lack
nearly two weeks of completion, the
great sum of S72, 800 has been raised
by popular subscription in this city.
At first thought this would be impos-
sible, but the cold figures tell their
own story. Here is the record:
For Y. M. G. A. building .,.. S23, 200

end of the difficulty are sure to
wound rather than to cure. Extremes
in the mode of Furnishing the assas-
sin have been heard in places where
it never should be. Some of the
church ministers have been foremost
in advocating the instant death OF
Czolgosz without anypr ocess of law
whatever. This most undoubtedly is
a matter to be greatly deplored. II
the ministers of religion are not
amongst the chief supporters of the
law in its application to the guilty as
as we'll as the innocent, how long
will the general public have any re-
spect for the law? Very short.
But where is the proper cure for
anarchy? Not solely in repressive
laws or measures. The history of all
nations clearly proves this. Repress-
i've measures may check it for time,
but will not cure it. The cure must
be more radical and is of slower
growth than legal enactments. The
cure must commence with the train
ing of the children of the nation. If
applied at any other time it will be to
little advantage.
The children OF this country-all
the children-must be taught at an
early age, at reasons first dawn
1st, That they have been created by
God to know and serve Him ,and that
His service is the one thing alone for
which they came into this world.
Cd, That He will reward this SER
vice by the possession of Himself for
ever in heaven.
Sd, That He will condemn to the
everlasting punishment of hell all
those who refuse or neglect to serve
Him. .
4th, That this service consists in
knowing His law and scrupulously
obeying it.
With these truths firmly fixed in
the cbildren's minds they will grow
up into virtuous men and women and
such a thing as anarchy will be un-
known amongst them.
am we'll aware that these are not
popular doctrines,-at least some of
them. But that doesn't effect them.
They are true all the same. / know
there are some citizens of this town
who do not believe in hell or eternal
punishment, and others who do not
believe in God, and who are down.
right atheists, and others who say
they know there is God but main
tain He gave US no law to rule our
conduct. Now all these, whether they
know it or not, supply the real foun-
dation for anarchy land without them
anarchy would never and could never
show its head. 1t is easy to reason
