N PROMISED NOT
TO BE A CANDIDATE
Declared He Would Not Accept Office
If Elected, and Said 1t Before
Witnesses.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 20.-Sena-
tor Marcus A. Hanna three months ago
agreed to place in writing a promise
that he would not be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent. More than that, he agreed mo-
to accept it if perchance the conven-
ton insisted upon giving him the NOM
ination, and then capped it all by de-
claring that he would not accept the
office if elected. This declaration was
made in the presence of reputable wit
nesses in Washington, d. c., who could
scarce believe their ears as the hot
words fell from the lips of this mod
ern Warwick of politics. The agree
ment was in the nature of a challenge
to the coal barons of the East at the
time the attempt vas made by Senator
Hanna, Archbishop Ireland, Oscar
Strauss, President Eliot and others of
the Civic Federation to bring about q
settlement of the great coal strike. AS
Is now known, the operators had set
tied then upon the policy of no COM
promise. 1t was not until the Civic

THE NEW AIRsHlP.

The story which comes from London
of the successful operation of an air.
ship for several hours and for a dis
lance of nearIyIthirty miles is an ex-
tfaordinary one, and yet it is far from
being improbable. On the face Of the
statement of the cable dispatch, the
facts have been fully verified by pub
lie observation. The machine is de-
clared to have moved in any and every
direction at will, to have been under
the most perfect control during the
entire experiment and to have. been OPP
Grated at a maximum speed not eX-
ceeding fifteen miles an hour. The
new airship may well be regarded as
the first serious contribution to the
undertaking Of ecu aerial naviga-
ton. 1t is a credible circumstance
rather than otherwise, that the rate OF
speed attained by the machine, or
claimed as possible by it's inventor,
does not exceed. fifteen miles an hour.
The trouble With all the inventions
which have been brought to the public
notice of this character for many years
past has been that promise and per-
Torrance have borne but little relation
toward each other when they have
been put to the test.
While there cannot be said to exist
today any such exact knowledge of the
currents Of upper air as to lead to
the belief that an aerial motor capable
of maintaining a speed and direction
in violent storms can be invented in
the immediate future, scientific work
in his direction has progressed suf-
ficiently far to justify all enlightened
persons in looking forward to compar-
alive triumph within a reasonable pc
Rod. Whether the invention of the
latest relatively successful %aeronaut
contains the secret necessary to this
triumph will soon be made plain. Not
w-ithstanding the distinct favor with
which Santos Dumont's operations
were received in Paris, and the favor
able predictions which he and others
have made as to the future of his
invention, it has been plain for some
time past that he is not up to this
time a serious factor in the solution Of
the problem of aerial navigation.

STAY AWAY FROM THE CITIES


The figures made public during the
past few days showing that the popu-
lation Of Greater London is now $751;
373 are ~startlingly stupendous and in
dictate clearly that the tendency of
men to throw themselves into the
maelstrom of urban life Is steadily in
~creasing. That the efforts Of the
Countess of Warwick and others to
get young Britons to go to South At
RIGA, Canada and elsewhere have to
some extent borne fruit is true, but
not to a sufficient degree to relieve the
biggest municipality of the world of
enough of its population to give work
to more than a score of thousands of
men and women in want.
How to check the flow of this great
stream Of humanity cityward is the
problem of the hour. If rural life
could be made less Of a drudgery and
at least of the boys and girls who go
up to London might be kept away from
the greater h%ardships and temptations
of life in the city, but no systematic
effort along this line has ever been
made, and the stream grows in vol
ume year by year.
The London statistics indicate, too,
a moral status which alarms those who
see the sunshine of prosperity in a
healthy, steady increase in the popula-
ton. The figures show that, notwith-
standing the fact that marriages have
increased a considerable percentage since
1894, the birth rate in the British me-
tropolis has reached the lowest rate in
it's history. Thirty years ago it was
thirty-fve to the thousand, while now
it is little more than tWenty-nine. To
add to the unrest over the conditions
it is announced that the death rate
shows a slight increase over that for
the past three years.
There is, too, little else than gloom
in the statistics as to disagreements
between employers and employees.
During the year 1901 there were 642
new disputes, involving 100000 work
ing people. The time lost reached the
appalling total of 100000 working
days, % days for every one affected.
All of these calculations speak elo-
quently to the farmer boy that be
should remain at home or emigrate to
some other country rather than go
into the city, where the probability of
failure is many times greater than
anywhere else in the world.

CAPITAL AND LABOR IN coNvEN-
TON.

No more important convention has
ever been held in America than that
which will assemble in Minneapolis
this week. 1t will be a great gathering
of leading employers and the men who
direct the movements or organized la
Dor. From acceptances already in the
hands of the committees it is evident
representative. President Roosevelt
himself is to be one of the speakers.
The questions to be considered are
vital to the homes of the wage earners
of the land, who constitute so per cent
OF its population. That those who are
coming together are doing so in a
spirit of fairness and a purpose to at
tempt to arrive at the best methods of
solving the problems which confront
labor and capital is plain.
An object lesson before the conyen-
ton will be the anthracite coal strike.
which has brought untold suffering to
more than loo, 900 workers, great in
convenience and loss to the mine op-
orators and immense hardship to the
public in the shape of almost prohib-
five prices for hard coal. Here, then,
is a tragedy for consideration which
involves, directly and indirectly, 90
000,000 people. Can this body of think
ing men evolve a plan of handling
such disputes which will render strikes
a mere remote possibility?
Whenever there is a great quarrel
between the men who furnish the cap
ital for an enterprise and those who
mould that money into a merchants
able commodity the one word which
comes into the public mind is arbitra-
ton, but almost without exception one
party or the other that it
has nothing to arbitrate. There are
men, men who give much thought to
the difficulties arising to plague both
labor and capital, who believe a plan
can be devised that is quicker and sim
pier than arbitration and at the same
time equally fair. One of these is
Herman Justi, commissioner Of the
Illinois Coal Operators association,
who said the other day that in the
very nature Of the anthracite strike it

BLAME FOR BIG CHURCH DlsAs.


A startling illustration of fools
rushing in where angels fear to tread"
was the calamity at Birmingham, Ala,
in which more than five-score persons
lost their lives by the overcrowding OF
a church. followed by the cry of "fght!"
which was misunderstood for afire!"
1t was, too, at a meeting in which
Booker T. Washington, the most intel
lectual and orderly of Southern colored
men, was the guiding spirit.
1t was one of those awful disasters
which could have been easily avoided
by providing the church at which it
occurred with proper police. Men,
women and children were permitted
to crowd into the edifice until it was
difficult for those within to even
breathe with comfort. This in itself
was a source Of irritation to all those
in the crush, and it is small wonder
that a fight should have broken out
there. The cry of alarm having gone
up and those farthest from the exits
having begun a frantic effort to force
their way to the open air, all was panic
and pandemonium in ten seconds, and
no human power could then have pre-
vented the stampede which followed.
1t is strange that the struggle to get
outside the building should not have
literally thrown it down, so furious
was the rush in a single direction.
1t is the duty of Booker T. Washing
ton and those who are the educational
and religious guides Of the colored
race in the South to make a study Of
the calamity at Shiloh church with a
view to rendering a horror of such a
character practically impossible in the
future.

That fight between the cattle raisers
and the packers seem to be something
of a one-sided affair. The former avow

are they opposed to the meat trust.
The trust will weep several barrels of
crocodile tears over the event, which
tears they will probably afterwards use
for brine.

The mode of settling the injunction

profit. even after conceding the de-
mands Of the men.
