| FTER THE long and weary
~ struggle with torturing pain.
l. y John Jernyn Is at rest ana
the world is poorer for his
sleeping. More than most men. more
than almost any man who could be
mentioned. this gentle. friendly citizen
of Scranton represented the true Ameri-
can idea. Strongly local in his attach
ments. reaching not far in his ambitions
| into the great world, he is still a type
| significant indeed, OF what has made
| this republic the mighty power 1t Is to-
| day. Coming to our land from over the
I sea, lie became one with his new coun-
| try, while still the love for old England
throbbed warm in Ibis breast.
He was not q malcontent. not an agi-
tator, not q man who thought he had
Il mission to reform the world. He
simply looked for u fOothold some
where and found ii here in the little
new town in the new land Here the
object lesson is emphasized. He stayed.
The foothold was slight. but he was
earnest and strong and Industrious. and
down through the many long years he
has remained. deepening. broadening
the foundation which he laid in youth
and making it a pleasant place where
multitudes could find too, a spot on
which to stand. While others who
started life at his side. roved restlessly
upon the earth. seeking greater oppor-
tunities, he wrought on in tireless en-
ergy and grasping the little chances
that lay in his way. made of them
something noble and fine and wonder
full
Always he kept the simplicity of heart
that was his in the early days. While
he cherished an honest pride of blood.
which surely any man could be par
doned for holding. it was marred by
none of the ineaner instincts which
have reflected on certain American
types. Although poor boy, he did not
forget that he was of gentle birth. and
during his earlier struggles and on into
the period of his success this conscious
ness was probably II satisfaction to Mr. |
Jermyn, as he revived the former for |
tunes Of his race and name. The coat
of-arms in the Hotel Jermyn was his |
own. and one whose history is an illus |
trious one.
He contributed marveIously to the
upbuilding and the prosperity of the
northern anthracite regions, and his
name will live as long as Scranton
stands.
Generous of soul. honest in purpose,
tender of heart. amid all his great sue
cess and power in the financial world.
1t was in the circle of home that the
most beautiful characteristics of this
mans personality were revealed. There
he was adored beyond the love which is
given to most morrals: there were the
real happiness and light of his life.

Awaiting the Next Step.

From the New York Tribune.
The coal strike has thus far been UNI
! marked with violence. 1t has been con-
| Quoted on both sides in IL temperate and
! orderly manner The miners have re-
| Trained from working, but have not in
| terfered with such pumping and engi-
neerins work as is necessary to keep
the mines In order. and the opera tors on
their side. have been content to let the
mines stand. idle without trying to get
| men TO ill the places of the strikers
NOW. however, a new step Is contem-
| plated which must be regarded with ap-
prehenson as containing the potential
menace of a shock which might destroy
! the unstable equilibrium OF peace in the
mining region and precipitate grave dis
orders. The engineers. pumpmen and
firemen propose to go on strike on Mon
day next unless their demands are
granted. That will mean one of two
things. Either the operators will ill
their places and so keep the pumps 60
ing. or the mines will be flooded and
damaged to the extent OF many millions
OF dollars.
The latter would be Il deplorable thing;
the former would involve Il grave men,
ace to the peace. For it is pretty we'll
understood that the strikers would en-
deavor with physical force to prevent
the illing OF their places at the engines
anu pumps. IueN TtallEt lIlat III aDan-
donins the pumps they are playing their
strongest card. The operators do not
mind. but rather welcome. mere suspen-
sion of coal production. They can stand
that good deal longer than the miners
can. But menace of injury TO and even
destruction of the mines themselves is n
very different matter. We may be sure
they will not quietly acnuiesce in that,
but will to the utmost of their ability
seek to preserve their property from
damage. In doing SO, they will be en-
titled to the sympathy of all right think
ing men and to the support Of the Off
GERS of the law.
For while men have perfect right to
strike-that is, quit worll-for cause or
for no cause, they have no shadow OF
right to destroy or to damage the prop
erty of their former employers Morally
there Is 10 distinction between actually
destroying 1t and preventing Others from
preserving it from destruction. The
man who forcibly prevents tiremen from
eXtinsuishing II fire is morally as guilty
of arson as though he himself kindled
the iire So men who should forcihly
prevent the manning of the engines and
pumps in the mines would BE- guilty of |
flooding and destroying the mines, just |
as much as though they with their own |
hands turned rivers into them. 1t is not |
difficult to imagine what would be done |
