In 1900 our country was n plucky
fledgling, healthy. vigorous, ardent in
hope. high on resolve. Our total popu-
lation was less than $500, 900. Ger
many and Britain each had four times
our number. Spain twice as many. and
even little Portugal had as big a fam
lily of sons and daughters as Uncle
Sam. West Of the Mississippi all was
wilderness. We had 10 little states
and few cities OF prominence. except
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore,
Boston and Charleston. The entire
revenue of the United States govern

was only $4,000, 900, while it now costs

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for W
years with irregular menstruation- -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
That Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly

The coming marriage Of the PrIn-
cess of the Asturias with the NeopoII-
tan Prince Charles Bourbon seems Ia
be causing much discomfort in Spanish
political circles. The princess is the
present heir OF the king, who does not
attain his majority until seventeen
months hence, and debates in the
House of Deputies concerning the mat
ter are frequent. The general impress
sion now is that very few weeks are
likely to elapse before the government
is instructed to communicate officially
to the Cortes the event for which
preparations have already been made.

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 some 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
paign for power. His leadership has robbed the
Amalgamated Association of practically all
thority an arbter of the labor situation in
the steel industry. Not only is it left weaker
by far than when the strike began, but weaker
than ii would have been if any one 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 its 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 much more serious
blow, for that status as negotiator between
the companies and their men of its
chief sources of power over the latter. and one
of it's chief instruments for obtaining conces-
sions from the former. 1t has also lost most
serious of all, the goodwill and respect of the
great body of its members, well all
prestige and influence over other workers in
iron, steel and tin, who might naturally be in
clined TO join II, or at least sympathize with it
and follow its lead. Nothing but broken and
discredited organization is left, which must
spend years to regain confidence. recruit mem
bers and accumulate funds before it will again
he in position TO exercise any large influence
even along wise and helpful lines upon the
fortunes of labor
1t is melancholy conclusion, which even
those who more severely condemn the reck
less and unreasonable course of Shaffer must re-
gret. Yet il seems to be the almost inevitable
tate of great labor organizations as they have
been managed. Van ambitious or unscrupu-
lous leaders use them in the day of their power
and prestige TO enforce eytravagant and un-
just demands; employers who have been will
ing to see them grow In influence are forced
into opposition for self-preservation. and the
end is a labor union wreck. Labor orgnniza-
tions ought to have place Of usefulness in In

THE DAY AND THE WORLD.

The last day of the drama of woe is come. 1t
dawns upon such spectacle as man seldom
has seen before. Webster described the earth
as circled with one continuous and unbroken
strain of the martial airs of England To-day
1t is circled with halfmasted flags and sable
streamers and all the trappngs and the suits
of woe. Not more than once if even once in
history has the worlds mourning been so gen.
eral il is to-day. Our own whole nation
pauses from its vocations and gives up the day
TO solemn commemoration. In scarcely less
measure does our sister nation of Great Brit
ain, from King to humblest commoner paying
a tribute of sympathy for which no precedent
parallel is TO be found The French Re
public halts in its high festivities and surren-
ders the day 10 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 a
sentiment which makes the whole world kin.
Grateful indeed, is it to this stricken land thus
TO be sustained with sympathy, and noble is it
in those who lay aside all former rivaries 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
ton 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 international communications
made closer and more intimate. and interna-
tional 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. ar 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

taken in the congress AT The Hague, the action
OF American troops and Of American diplomats

Congress-these and other things set all the

change in American status which from some
points Of view was effected under McKinIey's
administration. No wonder that the world
takes greater note Of this nations affairs than
ever before

RACK TO THE ORIENT.

In more than one American city of no mean
rank Cinnamon who have been toiling for many
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 fatherland again and to 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 a consuming fame in their
hearts.
The Dragon Kingdom has been abased and
humiliated in the eyes 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 frightfuly destructive
of life and of property. Taxes will he higher
in China in the future than they have been in
the past The conditions OF life in the most
populous country of the globe are not alluring in
the Judgment of unbiased observers. Never
theless disciples of Confucius who have been
prospecting under the Stars and Stripes in the
Chinese quarters of NewYork and other inn
portant American cities are not willing to re-
main here permanently. OF course. there are
exceptions TO this rule but it was long ago
chroniced that the dearest wish of the most
successful merchants and others in our 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 exactions almost intOerable. 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 ears to other
voices Nothing can persuade them to abide
here to the end, if their possessions suf-
flcent to enable them to retIrn to the land of
the mandarins with the possibility of self-sup-
port. Even NewYork most cosmopolitan 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.

The Nation mourns it's Chief
And reverent bends
While en- 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 we who weep
The hero lost shall
Fruit of his sowing though the sower sleep.
The Nation mourns its Chief
In bitter. voceless unavailng 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 swear
To hunt the mad beast, Anarchy, whereer
He burrows venomous with lust of blood.
Treading to mud
All holy things befoulng humankind
Unclean corrupt, with hate and envy blind
Anathema him declare
So brothers. let swear.
But let us not in righteous wrath forget
Justice is passioness and even handed
The viest felon shall discharge his debt
In orderly procedure as commanded;
Till every voice repeat VITA awe
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 a father of the people and chieftain OF the
State.

Women's tender hearts are throbbing
As they think OF her he left.

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;

That all may know he passes. homeward bound;
Halfmast the flags and toll the funeral bells.
While chant of dirge and anthem upward swells;
The great Republic sorrows for her son.
But after all is done.

or the bright soul arisen
In Joy to life eternal and TO God.

Is Croker talking to Devery bluntly as
Devery talks to policemen who come before
him? Croker has ample reason for plain speech
to the man whose vulgarty and profanity at
the trials of patromen have disgusted decent
people so much that his utterances will surely
cost Tammany no small number of votes. Mr.
Croker has a lurid vocabulary of his own. A
dialogue between Croker and Devery, in which
both gave free rein to their tongues, would be
eminently unfit to print.
