The Strike and the Campaign.

Again it is the unexpected that has hap
pened.
The campaign opened slowly There was
a fear Of apathy. The people seemed to be
very little interested In the situation.
Chances of success were with the republi-
cans, both in the contest for control of the
next House and in the more important state
races But would the people come out?
Would not the general prosperity operate
to make them a little Indifferent about vot-
Ing on election day? The scare issues of the
democrats had pretty well petered out. No
body cared to hear any more of the gable
about Imperialism and our tottering institu-
tons. People had begun to yawn a little
when trusts were mentioned. Even the tariff
al times failed to get hand" at the meet
ings.
When Tom Johnson took the road with
his automobile and his circus tent there
was momentary Frightening up. Here, at
least, seemed the promise of fun. A million
aire several times over moving around
among the people talking against the ty-
ranny and high-handedness of capital pre-
scented novel spectacle. But interest In
that was soon exhausted. There was no
variety in the entertainment, and people
outside of Ohio forgot Mr.. johnson and his
WilIVINllu CdilN ass ne - pTODdDIy sui on
the road, but the public at large is not ad-
vised as to whether he is drawing well or
not.
The campaign chairmen did what they
could to enliven things. Each gave out
from time to time predictions as to the
final result for Congress, and each with ap-
propriate and official gravity, claimed the
next House for his party And We were
drifting until suddenly the coal strike, upon
the approach of winter, became acute. In a
way II was known that the anthracite min
ers were on strike, but as some five months
had elapsed since they had thrown down
their picks the public had quite forgotten
the circumstance. Now. however, matters
took turn. and the politicians took hold
Since then interest in the November re-
suit has materially increased The strike
now overshadows every other topic. VIII
Il affect the elections? And If so to what
extent? The republican leaders are I'M
doubtediy much concerned. Both in New
York and Pennsylvania they are exerting
themselves TO the utmost to open the way
to return OF the miners TO work The
democratic leaders seem at least to be pas
sive. II 1t is any of their funeral they give
no outward sign OF approaching the fact,
and II they are enjoying the discontinue of
the republicans they cannot of course man
tfest sucn a feeling.

cellent and make for a decision commanding
general confidence. Two experts, one jurist,
one sociologist and one mine owner ought to
reach a fair conclusion. The selection of
one of the experts from the military service
of the government insures technical abili-
ty and entire freedom from prejudice. The
mining engineer should contribute special
knowledge of the trade. The judge should
aid in the Interpretation Of the legal rights
of the contendng sides. The eminent sociol-
ogist would contribute his knowledge of
economics and the general question of labor
conditions.
The fifth member Of the commission would
be palpably a representative of the mine
owners and would have no corresponding
balance in the presence on the board of an
equally direct representative of the miners.
In that point the Morgan offer is weak.
But its weakness is lessened when viewed
by the miners from the standpoint of belief
in the Presidents fairness In the person
of the sociologist he might readily nomi-
nate man really representative of the
workers. But even without such an indi-
rect proxy the miners could doubtless rest
assured of the fairness of the body. The
judicial member. chosen from four mem
bers of the federal bench, should be far
above suspicion and the same would doubt
less be true of every other member chosen
by Mr.. Roosevelt, again with the possible
exception of the operator member.
To bubble now overmuch on details. with
the assumption of probable justice at the
hands of such commission so strong, will
be for the miners to lose the ground with
the public which they have lately gained
as result of the stubbornness of the ope-
rators. They have been taken almost If not
quite at their word. The operators have
conceded the general principle of arbitra-
ton with their employees collectively instead
of individually. They have formulated a
practicable scheme of arbitration The plan
might well be modified in the particular
suggested in the interest of a more even
balance of representation, but 1t cannot be
rejected BY the miners unless they are will
Ing now to assume the burden of response
bility for the coal famine. which the opera
tors have been carrying alone for the past
eleven days.

Another Check for the Sky Sailors.

Another fatal flying machine accident in
Paris directs attention once more to the
grave perils of accumulation. In this case
a drigibie balloon failed in its important
parts. those holding the car suspended to
the gas bag. The break was not due, 1t
would seem, to any defect in the metals,
but to a serious fault in the general plan of
the machine In addition to a gas bag it
had a lifting screw Immediately beneath
the car revolving at a rate of five hundred
turns to the minute. This aided the fiOta-
ton OF the balloon but at the same time
gave the whole apparatus a twisting ten
dency which prevented the free working of
the rudder and caused the car frame to
sway out Of line with the gas bag. Thus
the guy rods wires were subjected to an
unusual strain and they suddenly gave
way. letting the and it's occupants to
the ground. counter screw, revolving in
an opposite direction to counterfeit this
twist. would involve too great an addition
to the weight. This accident serves afresh
to show that aerial navigation has as yet
reached only the stage of dangerous ex-
perimentation. Before 1t becomes practical
BILE in the commercial sense It must be re-
lfeved of the possibility Of the collapse of
gas bags, the swapping of rods subject to
the lurching of the machine in the winds.
OF the interruption of delicate motors All
of these factors for accident and MANY
lore are now present and any breakage Is
likely to cause death. owing to the height
at which the experiments must necessarily
take place. The public, far as 1t is in
terested in the atterspts to solve the prob
lem Of human fight, regrets that practical
success has not yet been reported by those
who are working on the aeroplane theory
as opposed to the gas bag system Hope

Surgical Progress.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.

More than ordinary scientific and public
interest attaches to this matter, because it
is the Introduction of a new system of sur
gery-bloodless surgery. The particular
trouble Of the two little Chicago girls Is
dislocation Of the hip joints. Heretofore
the only remedy was cutting and remodel
ing, an altogether serious operation Of
doubtful efficacy. The eminent Viennese has
thought out a method that is bloodless and
much more certain of desired results OF
course, there will continue to be may oper-
ations for knife and scalpel, but there are a
number susceptible to the new treatment
which is distinct gain to surgical science
Mr. Armour Is to be congratulated upon be-
ing the means of making this knowledge
available to the medical profession In Amer
lea.

From the Chicago Chronicle.

Fashions in mems headgear, usually I'M
slightly and uncomfortable, are this au-
tumn distinctly sensible and artistic. To
a considerable extent the felt hat has dis
placed the stiff, hot. unhandsome derby"
The male portion of the population will
this winter look like Mexican vaqueros SO
far as their hats are concerned. The soft
felt hat Is comfortable, and, If 1t be prop
erly chosen, it is artistic. 1t has possibili-
ties of which the hard hat is destitute If
1T has generous width of brim 1t imparts
to the wearer an air of preeZineSs-not to say
strenuousness-which would be impossible
of attainment with derby or a plug"

MASSACHUSETTS, and the Tariff.

Mr. Lodge is quoted as saying to Mas
sachusetts audience Saturday night
mo tariff Is permanent. 1t must always
undergo change. But a complete revision
of the tariff is not to be entered upon
lightly. The republican party is ready to
revise the tariff, but it will do it on pro-
tective lines
This brings Mr.. Lodge very close to Gov
ernor Cummins. In fact, the Massachusetts
senator states the Iowa idea" quite accu-
rately. The Iowa republicans are not de-
handing a complete revision of the tariff.
What they are asking Is such a revision as
will, Mr.. Mckinley at Buffalo suggested
should be done, remove the duties on arti-
Giles that no longer need them. They are
still protectionists, and would not have any
duty disturbed which may be necessary for
the encouragement of any American indus
try. They want to proceed on protection
lines.
But the most important statement of Mr..
Lodge is that 1.-The republican party is ready
to revise the tariff" That is the point. Tha.
is the proposition of the Iowa republicans.
They think revision time has come. and Mr..
Lodge says the party is ready. This is OPP
posed to the attitude of those republican
leaders who want nothing done. They do
not all express themselves III the same way.
Some insist that the party should stand
pat" Others advise that We 'let well
enough alone But it comes to the same
thing. They deny that the Dingley law has
done it's appointed work in any direction SO
as to make even partial and conservative
revision just and necessary thing at this
time. They talk as If they regarded the
law as both permanent and sacred.
The Massachusetts republicans are waking
up on this question. How much the fact is
that state may be a matter of opinion, but
there is probably some connection between
the two circumstances. While men of the
stamp of George Fred Williams were in con-
troll in the democratic camp the republicans
had nothing to fear They did and were
safe in doing pretty much as they pleased.
But with Mr.. Williams endorsed and dis
credited. and men of the stamp Of Richard
Olney now in the forefront of the demo-
cratic activity, the republicans need to be
very much alive. Mr.. Olney stands for
something. When he speaks the state and
the country listen and consider. And just
now he is talking about the high tariff.
and making 1t very plain that his party has
turned from free silver back to taxation
again, and will seek power two years hence
largely on the tariff issue. In the light of
this change the republicans of Massachu-
sets cannot too promptly ally themselves
thoroughly with the republicans Of Iowa
