THE COAL STRIKE
Only the Initial Battle Of a
Great Struggle.

The great hard coal strike has been
ended, at the call of the people, led by
President Roosevelt. But the coal
strike is only an ircident In the great
struggle that is impending between the
trusts and the people.
1t Is a question which shall triumph,
the people or the trusts IL is well that
the coal strike has precipitated the
conflict, aroused the and called
attention to the power the people have,
and can exert through our government
and law TO restrain, regulate or sup
press, organizations, combinations, or
trusts, that restrict production, destroy
|competition, raise prices, and heap up
wealth In the hands Of q few, through
the abuse Of privileges and power
given them by the State.
Those who believe there Is no danger
from trusts, daily with danger, and have
no comprehension OF the crisis that
threatens civilization
Men do not heap up millions because
they need them for pleasure, or COM
fort, or health, or travel or education,
or friends. A million Is more than any
man could need for himself or bis
family. They do not want it to nelp
their fellow men, or they would not in.
jure or destroy the business OF those
who are weaker. They do not wan,
such power for the welfare OF their
country, because they know such power
in the hands Of few is dangerous N
the liberties Of the people and TO the
existence of free government They
want TO heap up millions for the power
1t gives them over their fellow mer
and over nations. Human nature IL the
same always. The possession Of power
has always begotten the desire In those
who possess 1t to oppress their fellow
men. The history of trusts has already
Ishown that human selfishness and greco
are as closely allied and cruel as ever.
The President sees it clearly. Hi
action against different trusts and com
binstions, by suits in the courts, show,
that he Is awake TO the interests of th,
country, and that he sees the impend
Iing peril. The recent statement o
Attorney General Knox Of the power o
the government to regulate and re
strain all combinations that threatel
the public welfare, indicates that tn
President is not only awake TO tn
gravity of the situation, but is consciou
of the power of the government to pro
tect the welfare Of the natiou, and tina
he has q clear head TO see, stead
hand 70 guide, and q fearless purpos
, to direct our nation through the dar
gers that beset US.
IL Let the people stand close TO him
: and all will be well.

REASON ENOUGH.

There is reason enough for support
ing the Republican ticket this fall.
The prosperity of the country cannot
be trusted in the hands of the Demo
cratic party.
The revision OF the tariff cannot be
entrusted TO the Democratic party.
The settlemen tof the trust question
cannot be left TO the Democratic party.
The finances of the country csnnot
be left to the Democratic party.
The government Of the Philippines
cannot be left to the Democratic party.
The Democratic party cannot agree
with itself on any of these questions,
aud the worst element In IL controls.
Its attempt at tariff reform closed
factories threw hundreds of Thousands
of men out OF work, depressed the
farming interests and nearly ruined
the country.
Its threat of flooding the country
with free silver drove business men
and fnanciers into the Republican
party, for fear the Bryan Democrats
would bring panic upon the country.
During its period in power under
Cleveland, it did nothing to add to the
antitrust power, but passed tariff bill
that was framed by Democratic Sena-
tors who were Interested financially In
great sugar, coal, iron and other trusts.
If it were not false TO all Its profes-
sions it would call home our army and
our school teachers from the Philip
pines, leave the poor PHILIPPINES the
prey Of anarchy, and make US the laugh
ing stock OF the world.
There can be no reason why the Re-
publican party, which has done 30 well,
should be turned out of power to put in
its place a party that champions the
wrong side Of every question, and
makes every step 1t takes . blunder.
The Democratic party has nothing to
offer but promises, and all its promises
are as hollow as Its professions.
The people have not lost their memory
and they have no intention of leaving
good thing to try q party that cannot
guarantee anything but incspacity and
perversity.
10 the face OF the perils that might
come upon the country by q change,
and in all probability would come, the
country will take no chances.
Tom johnson, Tom Dick and Harry,
nor any of the tomtoms that are beaten
in front Of the circus tent, will be for .
q moment considered in the face of such
issues.
The people will let well enough
alone.

Rev. Mr.. Swank Returned.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
Napoleon, o., Oct 2l-For the
seventh time Rev. Jesse Swank, of the
St. Paul's NJ. E. church, has been return
cd by the conference to his charge. Rev.
Swank had many exceptional good offers
from larger churches, but his congrega-
ton made such an effort for his return,
showing by this their great love for him,
that he refused all offers and will con-
tinue to occupy the pulpit here. His
manner Is such as to make friends
wherever he goes. He Is smiable and
kind and always ready to help the needy
and distressed. He first took charge OF
the church In October, 1896. he was
largely instrumental In building the ele-
CANT new church, which cost $4,000
This modern and beautiful structure
was built under his direct supervision.
II is owing TO his energetic and indust-
rious work that the membership has in
creased from 125 to 3l5.
