WAR ON STEEL TRUST.
United League Makes Demand That
Rusiuess be Taken bv Government.

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.-Thr big steel
strike came in for brief discussion 1T the
meeting Of the United Labor League
SUNDAY afternoon. II was brought up III
resolution pr, scented by Delegate Jos
rph h. Allen. who introduced it at the
request of the Amnlgamatrd Painters
Union. of which he is Il delegate. Ii
asked the United Labor League to place
itself on record as favoring the taking
over of the Steel Trust by the govern
ment and placing it in the hands of the
Amulgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers, to he operated fer the
benefit Of the people.
Delegate Marcclus Waite of the
Leather Workers Council wanted the
matter brought directly to President Nc
Kiuley by President Samuel Gompers Of
the American Federation OF Labor, and
President Theodore Shatirr. of the Anal
yamulrd Association Of Iron and Sic"l
Workers. in II request from those OH
rials that he take possession of the Steel
Trust, Ii was suggested that the l'rcsi-
dents power in the matter was confined
to calling an extra session OF Congress,
should h. deem It advisable, and IN this
form n motion to that effect was finally
passed, nstructing tn" secretary tc com

PROGRESS
OF FIGHT

Employing BARRIERS VINO last week re-
fused to entertain the idea of closing
their shops at s O'Clock at night are
gradually becoming reconcilcd to the
movement. They acknowledge the fair
ness Of the request and realize that it
would be detrimental to their business
to oppose the movement. The closing
an hour earlier at night will be no hnnn-
cal loss to the boss BARRIERS as they will
unqucstionably do the same amount OF
business but in shorter hours.
One prominent employing barber who
openly opposed the movement and ~
fused to sign the agreement is said to
have already lost three good patrons on
that account.
The joumieymen BARRIERS are perfectly
satisfied with the progress that Was heea
made. Frank Bacon. preSidcnt\pf the
journeymen's Union stated Yesterday that
no trouble whatever was anticipated.
Mr.. Bacon said that the boss BARRIERS are
acting fair in the matter and with but
few exceptions alLhavc agreed to close
at o'clock. Wilmer Stewart, who was
reported several days agO to he opposed
to the movement is now said to he strong
~ in favor of it, The shorter day is to
90 into effect hcxt Monday. Cards to
that effect have been placed in all the
barber shops that will close at O'Clock.

DE MORTUlS MI NISI RONrM.

In our own tongue it reads: Say
nothing but good of the dead. And
how universally was the good rule OBJ
served on the death of Mr.. Mckinley.
AT the hour Of the afternoon in which
he was shot, hundreds of papers were
issuing from ponderous presses, in
which the man and his measures were
severely criticized, but from the time
of the fatal shot to the final sad rites at
Canton, nothing but tender tributes
were paid the man, and Of the measures
no mention was made. Was this hy-
pocrisy? BY no means. The evil of
measures were buried temporarily, and
the good of the man lived after him.
Not goodness, however, which was
born Of sorrow, but a goodness which
had marked a life.
May his immediate successor, and
all his successors in the exalted place,
so live, that those whose duty it may
be to speak, and write of them after
life's work has closed may truthfully
say and write of virtues and not of
vices.

PRAYER.

PRAYING is not confined to the
churches. nor TO those who openly pro-
fess religion. Millions of men and
women who seldom attend divine ser
vice, and who do not claim to have ex-
perienced regeneration, believe in
prayer. If they do not believe il will
change in any way the order Of events,
they know that it will change their
feelings, that il will soften grief and
bring resignation ia disappointment.
And praying is not confined to uttered
words.
prayer is the burden of sigh,
The falling Of tear,
The upward glancing Of an eye,
When none but God is near"
The above was taken from an able
editorial of the Washington Post, in
which prayer for the recovery of Mr..
Mckinley was discussed. We repro
duce il to remark that it is a low esti-
mate Of prayer which confines it to
ones own feelings or ones own griefs
The Lords prayer is the model of
all prayer, and in it we are taught to
honor God. to pray for the extension
of His Kingdom on earth, and to ask
for but one temporal blessing.
The unregenerate cannot honor God
even in blowing" or in being merci-
full, and it is not TO be wondered at
that they do not honor him in praying.
Scared people and grlefstricken ones
may cry for help, but only men of
faith know what prayer is.
To ignore God in every day life and
only appeal to Him when the storm
comes is dishonoring The "sigh," the
tear" the upward glancing" of
which the hymn tells, are God-ward |
and not man-ward. We prefer this
definition: prayer is the Christians |
vital breath" The first object of true
prayer is to honor God, the second to
help man.

Buffalo is making earnest effort to
rally from the depressing effects of Mr..
Mckinley's tragic death, aud the pur-
pose Of the management and of the
citizens generally is TO have the Expo-
sition close in a blaze Of splendor.
We regret, however, to learn that at
the best there will be a loss of a million
dollars. 1t is a pity that we can't
learn to conduct such enterprises and
not lose money.

THE CONVENTION.

The debate on the jury system has
been battle royal. We do not agree
with those who say there is magic in
the number twelve. We reverence
some old things but not all. Carrying
the "mill stonen because our fathers
did it is not wise 1t is high time we
were simplifying court procedure and
legal forms.
Three reports from the suffrage Com
mittee means, we fear, three weeks if
not three months of discussion. We
have cautioned the readers Of the HER
AID against restlessness. We fear,
however, the people cannot be restrain
ed much longer.
Mr.. Wysor hasn't been heard from
for two weeks. We wonder if he has
lost the power of speech?
We still insist that the Pendleton
suggestion on the suffrage question is
the wisest, and most practical yet
made
Evidently it would be best to adopt
the quadrennial legislative system
The saving of S75, 900 year is no small
matter. The United States Senators
should be elected by the people, and 50
remove that difficulty.
There will be no lack of judges in the
commonwealth, and the crop of
Colonels will no doubt mature with
each incoming governor.
The temperance people have been
besieging the body with petitions to
the effect that majority Of voters in
each precinct should endorse an appli-
cation to sell il tOxicants before a Ii
cense shall be granted. Many of the |
committees are reported as being about |
ready to report, and most Of us are of |
decided opinion that it is about time.
The weather is cooler, the oysters fat
ter, juleps with worthy successors, and
no doubt the members from the rural
section are having royal time of it,
Mr.. Morgan Treat, a Republican,
who is cOntesting the seat Of Judge
Gregory, Democrat, seems likely to
win. He at least, of Republicans, will
agree that Democrats can "tote fair"
Senator Daniel fay Ors biennial ses-
sions Of the legislature, and supported
bis position with a strong speech The
Senator isn't often wrong, but he is i'm
his. If, however, the quadrennial
heory is adopted, and then it is made
,asy-to call extra sessions, we may
nave to pay for the luxury of annual
mes.
We cannot understand why the laws
II Virginia should be tinkered on Of
ener than once in four years. People
hOuld be allowed time at least to know
What is law. [
Nothing has been heard in the Con- {
ention Of late about cooler place for '
Meeting. 1t would be a calamity to
e elsewhere now, and Richmond was
ways ideal place to us.

The Baltimore Sun passes just crit.
clsm on the phraseology of the indict.
ment against Leon Czolgosz. Why the
lawyers of the land should cling to
confusing iteration" when it is pos
sible to use plain, lucid and uninvolved
English, in bills, answers, indictments,
&c, is mystery to us.
1t is folly to urge that the every
right" of a case would be put i'm ieop-
ardy by the use Of good English in the
preparation of legal papers.

The Washington Post is right in
drawing sharp distinction between
liberty of speech aud license of speech,
and liberty Of the press and license of
the press Neither bills Of rights nor
written constitutions, prepared by sen-
sible aud decent people, ever contem-
plated allowing anyone so much free
dom OF tongue or Of pen as to hurt
other folks. The tongue is an unrulv
member and needs curbing, the pen
Is power for good and alas, for evil
too, and should feel the restraint of
just laws.

WE CAN TRUST HIM.

soldiers than those who followed Lee
and their leader will undoubtedly rank
as without an exception the very great.
est Of all the great captains that the
English-speaking people have brought
forth-and this, although the last and
chief Of his antagonists may himself

safely trust such a man.

Among the maXims of Russell Sage
we find the following: Don't depend
on others, and yet when he was be-

precious carcass and the flying bullets,
and depended on that other to stop
them.

President Roosevelt was right again
when he said: "The only one who new

only let us 90 ahead"
