QUE Republican friends why this was not

MARK H4NyA IS MED14roR.

The G o b yesterday, under the cap
ton "shafer's Strategy" called attention
TO the evident determination of that self
appointed leader to force the present
strike of the Amalgamated association
into politics His evident desire is to
threaten vengeance upon the heads of
all who do not come to his assistance
q vengeance to be wreaked at the polls.
This is in line with the accepted code of
ethics followed by the ordinary strikers

duce a slight innovation by making this
political instead Of a business boycott.
To this end he win invite Mark Hanna
to act as mediator between the great steel
octopus and the striking steel workers.
Should the mighty Mark decline or should
he accept the charge and act in bad
faith, a political boycott will be pro-
nounced against him and his. More than
this, Mr. Shaffer will not only demand of
the great boss, assistance, but he will de-
mand of the dominant power at Washing

bear on the forces Of Gen. Morgan that

be able to carry out his theories he will
be on the high road to Morganville with
all its millions. With all his astuteness
Mr.. Shafer made one great blunder-a
blunder which we fear will cost him de-
feat. His theory was good; there was
no flaw in his plan, but he was off as to
time In this case time is the essence of
the deal. Had he waited three years
waited until the two great parties were
facing each other preparing for a mortal
combat, then spurTed his iron horse be-
tween them and demanded the loyalty of
one or the other as the price of his
Amalgamated votes, success would have
perched upon his helmet asking no qucs-
tions. Had he timed his fuse to the
political bomb, he could have ordered the
great Mark to pull off that Morgan man
and Mark would have exerted himself
until he was black in the face rather than
offend the great Shaffer. But why talk
about thing that did not happen. Shat

VIII Mark act as mediator? Not this
time-that is, not seriously. 1t is too far
from election time for Mark to be much
concerned. But there may be trouble In
Ohio. Should Mark attempt to do his
great two-fRced act and should Shaffer
catch him at it he will wish his mother
had not borne him. AS 1t is Senator Mar

4 FOOLISH PROTEST.

The action of the Minnesota Bank
ers' association in denouncing the state
authorities in paroling the Youngers was
ill-timed and in had taste. 1t could have
the assoc atien open to the imputa lon
of meddling in what was not their af-
fair. 1t rec ais the converse of wat
was once a popular motto. The banks
have quite as little warrant Of going into
government business as the government
has to go into banking business.
1t was for the commission of a bank
robbery that these unfortunate and
foolish men We're convicted of murder
quarter CT a century ago. They have
suffered fully the penalty of their crime.
The humane impulse of the period as
serted itself and took them from Their
living tomb. They had shown themselves
during their period of Imprisonment to
be deserving of whatever cIemt ncyr So
ciety might bestow on them. They have
now, after their release, engaged them
selves quietly in the effort to make a
living by their own toll Notwithstan i
ing the record they have left behind
them in the state prison; notwithstand-
ing that the almost universal sentiment
of the people is in favor of their re-
lease; Notwithstanding that every pre-
caution possible to be taken for the
protection CT the state against any fu-
ture misdeeds of theirs has been taken,
these wise money changers believe that
the state should continue to wreak its
full measure Of vengeance upon them.
Resolved, That the stability of gov
ornament, the well being and good morals
of the people and respect for the rights
of others demand the equitable and firm
execution Of law, and the inf1iction of
penalty for its violation. In the parole
Of the Youngers, we believe a precedent
has been set injurious to the well being
and order of society, and one that may
cause attempted repetition by sympathiz-
ers and criminal admirers. and We depre-
cate the notoriety given them"
That is the declaration of the M:nneso-
Ia Bankers association. Had this ex-
preston of opinion been made when the
occasion might be said to have demanded
it, or even had any expression whatever
been evoked on the part of any business
interest during the years that the subject
Of the parole of the Youngers was under
public consideration, it might be possible
to understand the purpose of the pro-
nouncement
The bankers to the contrary notwith-
standing, the public sentiment of the
state sustains the action of the legsla-
ture in taking the action taken; and
even had the wise precautions embodied
in the measure been omitted, there is
enough in the record of good conduct Of
these men, now in the sere and yellow
leaf of life, to sustain the policy of even
