TRULY MEASURED.
Prosperity and Plenty Give the Peo-
pic Reason for Being Genuine
~ Thankful.

In his first Thanksgiving procla-
nation President Roosevelt has fore
IDLY emphasized the peculiar bene-
fits for which the people should be
grateful.
Though respected president fell
victim to crime the nation has shown
the unanimity of horror over the as
sassin's deed and in the general con-
demnation of the anarchistic cult is
found a cause for thankfulness. The
country is united in opposition to
anarchy and all forms of lawlessness.
There is little need to recall the
great material prosperity of all sec
tions. The year 1901 promises to be
the best in the history of the nation
in nearly every line of effort. The
banks have full vaults, money is cir
culating, manufacturers are busy fill
ing orders for months ahead, farm
ers are receiving high prices for their
products and the railroads are load
ed with traffic.
During the past year the lines have
been drawn closer in public morality.
In no city where elections have been
held has there been an evasion of
the great moral and economic ques-
lions that inevitably force them
selves upon wide-awake and con-
scientious people. The ideals of the
people are higher than they were a
year ago.
There is fitness in those words of
the president in his THANKSGIVING
proclamation. Eve have prospered in
things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
US remember that. as much has been
given us much will be expected from
us, and that true homage comes from
the heart as well as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can best
prove our thankfulness to the AL
mighty by the way in which, on this
earth and at this time, each of us
does his duty to his fellowman."
= The sermons and prayers and songs
of the last Thursday of November
will not reveal all the depths of our
thankfulness. Each days work is the
measure of gratitude for past bles-
sings. Is there a better day in which
to show the nations devotion to
ideals than by following the advice of
the president in his proclamation {?
The devotion which each person
shows in thus expressing his full
heart will be good for the individual
the nation and the world.-St. Louis
Republic (Dem.).

SENATOR HANNA's CRITICS.
Responsible for Conditions That
Precipitate Murder.

Some of the democratic newspa-
pers are becoming hysterical because
Senator Hanna, in hisspeech at SPRING
field, held some of the democrats, and
the democratic yellow press in par
ticular, responsible for the assassina-
ton of The president.
The senator disclaimed all intention
to make L political issue of the assas-
sination, but he said he desired to
place the blame where it belonged.
Senator Hanna is not alone in his be-
lief that the democratic newspapers
and orators had much to do with ere
ating sentiment against the late
president under the influence of which
the weak mind of an anarchist like
Czclgrsz could be turned in murder
Gus direction.
Congressman Burton, in Cleveland
charged that the yellow democratic
sination. Gen. Horatio King said the
same thing III the speech he delivered
here during grand army week, when
it was believed the president would re-
cover. Rev. DR.. Morgan Wood ex-
pressed the same sentiments, in a
speech at the same time, and he went
further by referring in particular to 4
cartoon which lad been published by
Tom Johnson's organ in the campaign
of 1900, in which President Mckinley
was pictured as an emperor on a
throne, with Senator Hanna as the
power behind the throne.
OF course nei;her Senator Hanna nor
anybody else desires to hold the demo-
cratic party responsible for he assas-
sination, but that certain democrats
and certain democratic newspapers
are responsible for the condition of u f.
fairs which made the assassination
possible cannot be doubted or disputed.
The less democratic papers say in
criticism of what Senator Hanna said
at Springfield the better it will be for
them Cleveland Leader.
nyThe defeat of the Bryan fusion
populistic and democratic ticket in
Nebraska eliminates Mr.. Bryan from
all consideration of democrats in the
future as to their platform and ma
tional candidates. AS his last hold on
the national democracy he announced
his intention to ''redeem'' Nebraska
from the republicans, who carried it
against him in 1900. Nebraska was
not redeemed" il gave greater re-
publican majority than it gave year
ago. There are no unkind feelings to-
ward Mr.. Bryan; his future is before
him, not behind him, as is the case with
many defeated leaders. He may fill a
career of political usefulness which
never would have been possible in Il
national administration and policy
founded on the unsafe, impracticable
basis of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms.-Chicago Chronicle Dem.)
Ex-senator Tillman. who is travelling
the country, declared in Kansas City
last week that president Roosevelt, in
inviting a niger to dine with him, had
butted his head against stone wall
that would put new life into the demo-
cratic party" AS Thomas jefferson
extended similar hospitality to a
colored man, it may be assumed that
the Tillman brand of democracy diff
fers from the Jefferson in some essen
tai features.-lndianapolis Journal.

Was Charged with Assault by Max
Suravitz.

John f. Regan, the Sixth ward livery
man and select councilman, was ar
rested yesterday at the instance of Max
Suravitz, the junkman, who charged
him with assault and battery. and with

At a hearing before Alderman Kas-
son, Suravitz testified that he offered
Regan s1.25 apiece for two old stoves
yesterday morning and that the latter,
having agreed to the price, consented
to having them taken apart and loaded
on his wagon. When Suravitz was
ready to pay up, he offered Regan $3.50,
80 he says, but the latter claimed that
sl.50 apiece was the price, and refused
to accept less.
Suravitz claims that Regan took pos
session of his horse and wagon, when
he refused to pay SO, and then forcibly
threw him of the premises. Regan, in
defense, testified that $l50 was the
price agreed upon before the sale, and
denied having touched Suravitz. The

COLLIERY HAS
CLOSED DOWN
MINERS WOULDN'T WORK WITH
NON UNION MEN.
Because Some of the Men Working
in ths Sterrick Creek Mine At
Peckville Who Refused to Show
Union Cards the Others Would Not
Work with Them and the Mine
Was Shut Down for the Day.
Difficulties May Be Adjusted
Today.

The Stcrrick Creek colliery OF the
Peckville was closed yesterday by the
officials of the local of that colliery,
because of the presence among the
mine employees OF several non-unlon
men.
The mine workers declare that there
are about ten men working in the
mine who refuse to show union cards.
when so requested. Accordingly the
officers of the local ordered the mine
closed yesterday morning, after the
greater percentage OF men were at
work. They first ordered the boys In
the breaker to quit work, and after
the little fellows had promptly obeyed
the other men left for their homes.
The StcrriCk Creek union men de-
clare that they have no grievances at
the colllcry with either the foremen
and petty officials or with Superin-
tendCnt ThOrne, but that they will not
work with non-unionists. and If neces-
sary will continue keeping the coliery
tied up until every man can show Il
union card. 1t Is hoped, however, that
the differences will he today adjusted.
President Truesdale, of the Lacka-
wanna company, is quoted as having
said yesterday in New York about the
card question:
"The Woodward mine has been shut
down because of the trouble over the
demand that only men who could
show union cards should be allowed to
enter the mine. That position was un-
tenable, and 1 understand that ali the
coal companies viii take and maintain
the position that the unions cannot
dictate as to the men to be employed
| in the mines.
"Thc coal companies may be placed
in the same position as the steel COM
panies, the tendency of the union be-
| ing to demand absolute control of the
| business"
| Superintendent Thorne's version of
| the strike was similar to that given
by the men. Thursday, he said, the
union men made an examination of
the cards, conducting this on the main
road leading from the colliery and not
on the company's premises. He de-
clared last night that he heard the
men detected the presence by this
means of ninety non-unionists and
| held a meeting the same night, al
which a number of them Joined the
union.
A large proportion of them remained
out of TIE ranks, however, and it was
this which caused yesterdays tie-up
| On being asken whether any effort
would nc made to operate the collery
while the men were out. Superintend-
ent Thorne declined to discuss the
matter. Concerning the general stua.
tion, regarding mine cards, he said:
AS far as l know. none of the col.
lieries are al present sanctioning the
taking u? o. cards on the premises
and all foremen have strict orders OF
the subject. OF course, however We
cannot prevent the men from comins

HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS
Considered at q Meeting of the Com
mittee Held Last Night-New
Course of Study.

a long and animated session of the
high and training school committee of
the board of control was last night
held, and a large amount of business
transacted. Superintendent of City
Schools George Howell and Prof. w. G..
Joslin, the new principal of the high
school, were both present at the meet
ing.
one OF the matters brought up was
the question of whether transient stu
dents at the high school should be
compelled TO pay tuition fees. BY
transient is here meant young men or
women whose homes are in other
cities, but are living in this city dur
| ing the three or four years necessary
to take a high school course. The
average annual cost of a students edu-
cation at the high school is about $50
to the city, and counting in interest
and other sources of revenue the sum
would be considerably higher, and
| therefore the fee of s75 charged outside
students is a very reasonable one.
| The committee decided to ask Board
Solicitor ID. j. Reedy for an opinion
on the matter and this will probably
be submitted at Monday nights meet
ing of the board. The committee will
report at the meeting on the matter
of entrance examinations TO the high
school and recommend that they be
held a week before the opening of
schools. which will be August -.
They will also recommend that owing
to the present crowded condition of the
high school, the training school be re-
moved from the building and trans
ferred to No. 16 school, West Scranton
AS the greater proportion of training
school students are from West Scran-
ton, this is an arrangement which
seems about as fair as could be made
under the circumstances.
The committee worked hard last
night on the curricula for the high
school, and expect to give the students
four we'll arranged courses to choose
from at the opening of the institution
There will be a course this year know
as the college preparatory, which vii
embody all the studies of the former
classical course, with the exception
that it makes the study of Greek op
tional.
The scientific course will be tha
arrangement of studies formery knowr
as the Latin scientific, and the othe
courses will be the commercial anC
English or general course. Th,
mixed" courses wifi be done ava.
with. In former years anyone wh'
failed in any course was at liberty Il
take up a varied assortment Of studies
but this will be no longer allowed

that such a training accomplishe,

tically barren of results.
A number of bills were brought be
fore the committee and passed and
large amount of other minor bushes
transacted. including requisitions mad
for high school supplies.

pied by a saloon, contrary to an act

statesman from Memphis, Tenn, is
very bitter just now at the Louisiana
Democrats in Congress. He is quot
ed as saying:

Gratis and our allies in both houses
rally around it. Those who do not
respond to our call will no longer be
regarded as Democrats. | am pre-
pared for the Louisiana Senators and
Representatives to desert as usual,
and, for my part, I don't care if they
do. Democrats everywhere, ought
by this time to be sufficiently tired
and Disguised with the treachery OF
the Louisiana delegation on all pro-
positions locking to tariff reform and
broader trade conditions, to be ready
to wish the Louisianians would &c
over to the Republicans, body and
soul and breeches."
