MAY RE A LOCK OUT.

There is a possibility that the great
strike in the steel industry may yet
develop into a lockout. 1t is worthy
of notice that the managers of the
United States Steel Corporation are
saying nothing. When approached by
the reporters they give out no facts
and express no opinions. On the other
hand, President Shaffer of the Amalga-
mated Association, is ever ready TO
talk, and the information he gives out
for publication is always of the most
encouraging character.
The inference from this condition of
affairs is that either the strikers have
the best of the situation or they are
very nervous over the outlook and APP
prehensive that the strike is going to
prove a failure. There is some rea-
son for thinking that the strike lead
ers were confident their terms would
be acceded to before the closing down
of any of the mills would be permit
ted. 1t is evident from what has been
published of the proceedings at the
meetings of the representatives of the
employees and employers that very
great effort was made by. the repre-
sentatives of the employers to prevent
strike. They offered to make every
concession but the one which the repre-
sentatives of the employees insisted
upon the most, and that is the oppor-
There has not been, and is not now,
any question at issue respecting wages
or the hours of labor. The only issue
is whether the way shall be opened for
the Amalgamated Association to bring
the nom union men of the various steel
plants into their association.
1t is pretty safe to say that the
United States Steel Corporation will
never yield this point. To do so would
be to place itself in the power of the
leaders of its employees. President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton would be the real head of the Bill
lion Dollar Steel Trust instead of Mr..
Schwab, the president of the corpora
ton. The employees, through their lead
ers, would be in a position to dictate
terms. In such an organization as that
of the Analgamated Association there
are always men more or less dissatis-
fed, and through them the demands
upon the corporation would become
more and more burdensome until moth
ing was left for the stockholders. Evil
IDENTIFY that is the way the managers of
the United States Steel Corporation
look at it, and, entertaining that view,
it is probable that the corporation will
make no effort to have a settlement
with the strikers. The latter will have
to make the first effort to bring about
settlement, and when they make 1t
they may not meet with very cordial
reception. In other words, the strike
may become a lockout and continue
until the strikers are ready to accept
such terms as the corporation has to
offer. 1t is not improbable that the
present condition of affairs viii last for
several months.

Novel methods for attracting people
to church are still being devised. Sew
eral preachers have admitted shirt
waist men to their services in hot
weather. One or more churches have
nursery attachments where mothers
may leave their young babies. Tho
bicycle room has become fixture at
churches in a number of places. Free
fans and ice water are old devices. In
Virginia one preacher serves dinner TO
his congregation after the sermon, and
in the same state another pastor has
declared that he will buy good suit
of clothes for those that complain of
nothing to wear" provided the clothes
be worn to church every Sunday as
long as they last.

THE PRESIDENT CRITICISED.

There is some disposition to criticise
the President for ordering the resigna-
ton of Capt. p. b. Strong of the reg
ular army to be accepted. 1t will be
recalled that Capt. Strong was charged
with irregular conduct in San Fran
cisco-that is, there were newspaper
publications containing the statement
that he was registered at one of the
hotels in that city under an assumed
name, and that his companion was the
wife of a well known member of the
English aristocracy. Capt. Strong evil
IDENTIFY wanted to avoid a scandal, and
so sent dispatch to the Adjutant Cen
eral of the army containing his resig
nation. The war department held it
up for the purpose of investigating the
statements which had appeared in the
public prints. 1t was then that the
President ordered the resignation to be
accepted, for the reason, so 1t is said,
that the Captains father, who had
been Mayor of New York, had been a
personal friend of his, and also because
he had always had a high regard for
the young OlllCeT.
The reason given by the President
for ordering the young officers resig-
nation to be accepted, without an in
vestigation into the cause that prompt
ed the latter to offer it, is creditable
to the Presidents heart, but not to his
Judgment. He has made a precedent
that will be source of annoyance to
him at some future time. Other young
officers, guilty of offenses of one sort
and another, will want to get out of
the army without an investigation of
| their conduct, and will cite the prece-
dent in the case of Capt. Strong in
support of their effort to get off with
| out punishment or scandal.
The President is a very kind hearted
man, and it may be the people would
not have him other than he is, but it
is plain to be seen that in justice to
the whole people acts of kindness to
those guilty of offenses ought not to be
done too often.
From what has appeared in the pub
lie prints IT is a fair assumption that
0dpl. DlIOlS Is the NlCllIn OF "A Dedu-
tiful but INSCRIPTIONS woman 1t is

home. But in that country he will
not be satisfied, and the woman will
soon tire of him. A few years OF mis-

An Ambiguous Telegram.

One of the best stories we have heard
for a long time illustrating the danger
that lies in ambiguously worded telegraph
dispatches is being told about a New
York lawyer of large means and adequate
knowledge of the value of the dollar,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. His wife had gone to an auction
sale OF laces, Of which she is inordinately
fond. and had seen some pieces which
took her, fancy The price was 5000,
and she hesistated to make the purchase
without asking her husband whether she
should do so. She did so and received
this reply mo price too high" Madame
promptly bought the laces, and so struck
was she by the generosity, not TO say
gallantry Of her husband that she added
20 her store 5000 worth besides. When
her husband returned that evening she
learned that the dispatch he had sent
read this way: mo. Price too high"

THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.

Why is it that those newspapers
which had so much to say in support
of the free coinage of silver in the cam
paign of 1896 and 1900 have nothing to
say now in support of it? Mr.. Bryan.
who led the silver forces in those cam
paigns, is still standing by it and
doubtless will continue to do so until
he becomes convinced that he is wrong.
He may lack the power to see the
truth, but his sincerity will never be
questioned.
In the last issue of his paper, The
Commoner, he makes one good point
against the Democratic Convention of
Ohio. 1t is that if it heneved in the
gold standard it ought to have said
so. 1t ought not to have passed over
so important a matter in silence.
Yesterday we called attention to the
fact that Ex-senator Towne of Mimi
esota had come out against the free
coinage of silver. Mr.. Towne is one
of Mr.. Bryan's warmest friends and ad-
mirers. Those who heard his speeches
on the silver question, when he was
a member of the House and even up
to the time when he was nominated
for Vice President on the Populist
ticket, thought that he would never
abandon the cause of silver. He
thought the gold standard would make
slaves of the toiling masses of the
world. He does not think so now. He
is ready to admit that the gold stand
ard is serving the world very well.
He is just as frank as Mr.. Bryan,
however. Having seen his mistake he
promptly acknowledges it. But why are
not those papers which are responsible
for the spread of the free silver craze in
this and other states as frank as Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Towne are? Why do
! they maintain such utter silence in re-
spect to silver? Is II because they
have not yet made up their minds as
| to whether silver as an issue is to be
dropped, or is il because they do not
want to call public attention to the
part they took i'm leading the people
! in the direction of free silver?

Prof. Frederick Starr of the Chicago
University probably gets his name in
to the papers in connection with more
freaks than any other man outside of
the dime museum BUSINESS. Not long
ago he evolved theory for the reclaim
alton of Juvenile criminals, and took
a boy thief and tried his theory on
him. The boy staid until he found an
opportunity to steal some of the Pro-
fessor's silver plate, and then skipped.
Later the Professor declared that the
people of the United States had a ten
dency to become Indians, and that only
immigration and intermarriage saved
them from that fate. Now he is ram
sacking Chicago for people with a
greater number of fingers and toes
than they ought to have, hoping from
the study of them to dig up some
mighty truth that the world has lost,
without knowing or caring anything
about it. The University of Chicago
is said to be one of the most richly
endowed institutions of its kind in the
world. 1t must be, to maintain cab
met of freak chasers.

A Warning That Went Wrong.

There is an elderly man living in Wis
sahicken who is not so superstitious now
as he used to be, says the Philadelphia
Record. He had during the furry in
stocks in May. ten shares of Northern
Pacific lying in the bottom of his trunk,
and on the day this stock rose to 900
he hurried home to get them, intending to
sell them But on the way through the
sitting room of his house he saw his
grandchild, a baby of eighteen months,
sprawling on the floor, playing with lot
of gayly-colored alphabet blocks, and
eight of the blocks, lying in an oblique
line on the carpet, read like this:

Only a short time ago the city Of
Philadelphia failed to sell $4,000 900
worth of bonds for water improvements
at 3 per cent. The bonds have now
been readvertised and offered on a 3ls
per cent. basis. The state of Massa-
chusetts recently offered $S.l26,O00 3
per cent. bonds, without receiving a
bid for them, Notwithstanding only in
March the state sold 100000 of bonds
on an income basis of 2.91 per cent
1t is thought that an attempt will be
made TO market the unsold bonds on a
31h per cent. basis. The consensus of
opinion in Boston banking circles is
that the sale failed because the present
is an inopportune time for the state
TO offer TO sell its securities as the gem
eral bond market is very dun with
prices showing a tendency to decline.

made the distance between Sandy Hook

much longer than the northern route.
An expert has calculated that had the
ship taken the shorter route across,
sailing at the same speed, she would
have made the passage in days and
