Labor and Unrest.

The press dispatches inform us that
there are labor uprisings in Russia and
that several armed conflicts have taken
place between the people and the con-
stabulary. There are also strong indica-
tons of general unrest in European labor
circles, while the Union Pacific strike
now extending to other roads, and the
Pennsylvania coal miners show that labor
in this country is confronted with its
troubles in these piping times of peace
and plenty. Doubtless many pass over
these disturbances in the labor world as a
mere matter of current news, observing
nothing portending danger to govern
ment; but thoughtful men will note them
with solicitude. The Russian populace
will discern in time that popular govern
ment in which each citizen is a sovereign
will furnish the only permanent solution
of the problem i'll their country, while
the laboring element of our society will
learn that their grievances must be settled
by the ballot box. AS long as private
ownership of public monopolies like rail
roads is permitted there will be conflicts
between master and servant, and the
labor problem will be no nearer solved
than it is now, but government owner
ship will put an end to all conflicts. AS
long, however, as American laborers,
whether farmers, artisans or day work
men can be disorganized on the day of
election by plutocratic influences and be
induced to give their support to those
who Cypress ami wrong them, they must
expect continuance of the existing order
of things. The corporations control gov
errors, judges and legislatures, and these
agencies, as well as the regular army and
militia, are at their disposal at any time.
If a change is desired it must be brought
about by dethroning plutocracy and its
agents at the polls and by placing the
agents of the people in power. This will
not be done as long as any considerable
number of the laborers of this country
vote the Republican ticket. EX-SENATOR
VIM. V. ALLEN.

A Disappointment.

The Oxford United Presbyterian
Church is laboring under a disap
pointment on account of the in
ability of Rev. James II. Macarthur
of South Ryegate, Vermont, to fill
the call extended him the past
spring, which he had accepted. The
congregation was surprised Monday
on receipt of letters from Mr.. Mac
Arthur and the Clerk of Presby
terry informing of the action of the
Presbytery of New York and Yer
mont in refusing to release him
from the pastorate of the South
Ryegate Church. Mr.. Macarthur
desired to locate in a less rigorous
climate than that of Vermont and
had an intimation from members OF
the Presbytery that he would be
released after the first of August,
when a year of his passionate
would be completed. With this
understanding he made arrange
ments to come to Oxford and the
refusal of the Presbytery to release
him was a great surprisa.-Press

Mr.. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre-
tary, in recent speech on the British pol.
icy in South Africa said his government
had established a crown colony i'll the
strictest sense and the next step would be
to add nominated official element, then
an elected official element, and afterward
nothing but circumstances and time
would separate the new colonies from full
self-governnent. President Roosevelt
and the Republican leaders might justly
apply the same terms to their Philippine
policy, as " circumstances and time" in
the form of the Republican party, surely
separate the Filipinos from full self
government.

The high water mark i'll pensions was
reached on July last, there being on the
rolls of the government then 9o9,446
pensioners The last Congress passed
100 special pension bills, and passed
two acts which it is believed will add
1000 pensioners to the rolls within a
year. One of these acts is to pension the
survivors Of the Indian wars and the
other is to pension those veterans who
served i'll the Confederate service prior to
their entrance in the Union army. The
increase in pensioners has been from
9oI,5I9 in 1890 to 999,446 at the end OF
the last fiscal year, notwithstanding this
period was one in which the death rate
among aged pensioners was very large.

1t is said that because of the small
amount of money which the British gov
eminent has granted for the benefit OF
the jamaican sugar industry, much dis
satisfaction has been aroused among the
islanders and they are agitating annexa-
ton to the United States. They have ey-
identity seen and heard of the munifcent
way in which the sugar and all other
trusts are treated in this country and are
anxious for share in the good thing.

He has said he will do what he can, and every one knows that can would only have to be an int.- ma ation that the next legislature might pass certain stringent corporation laws to end it all"
 Senator Quay, however. is in a pecu- liar position. He does not wish to of fend the miners on the eve oi state election. yet he needs the assistance of the corporations in his fight against so popular a gubernatorial candidate as Robert E. Pattison. It is a pity that ha should happen to be the one man with the greatest influence. what ever may be- his motives, in behalf of a speedy settlement.

History will not repeat itself for a third time in the case of the Hon. Robert F. Pattison, for he stands not the faintest kind of a chance to be elected governor of Pennsylvania this year" said MT Charles H. Mullin of Harrisburg. Pa.

Appointments at West Point

The most interesting fact connected with the presidents appointments of principals and alternates to the West Point military academy. which were announced the last of the week is that with two exceptions, every one was the son Of an army officer The exception among the principals was the son of Senator Harris. of Kansas. who. by the way, was an eminent confederate en- gineer officer under General Lee. and the exception among the alternates was the son of a Washingto. pension agent. The significance of these selec- tions is not missed in army circles. for they mean that President Roosevelt is determined to favor the sons of army officers in his appointments. His course deserves strong commendation. Hith- erto. presidents have yielded too much to the politicians, and the executives West Point nomina tions have been dis tributed on the basis of a political pull Springfield Rupeblican.

Prosperity-That's All

The republican campaign text book just issued presents prosperity as the paramount issue of the campaign of 1902. The record is not of prosperity for one year. or two years, but for five years. It is not a record of prosperity for bankers, investors or manufacturers alone, but for the whole American peo- pie.
 The record is not of an era in which the manufacturer has prospered al the expense of the consumer, nor the mer- chant at the expense of the purchaser, nor the industrial centers at the ex- pense of the agricultural districts It is a record of a period in which all have shared in the most wonderful years of wealth in the history of the country.
 In 1896 and 1900 the republican party raised the battle cry, Mckinley and prosperity!" Now it raises the battle cry, Roosevelt and prosperityi" There are other great issues associated with MT. Roosevelt's policies; but this issue of prosperity comes home to every mans pocket; comes home to the farm and the workshop; to the investor. the manufacturer. and the wage-earner as we'll as to the millionaire.
 This issue has been with us for five years. It is the issue of all the people. It is the child of republican wisdom

r1e Fifteenth Week

It is unfortunate that in this age of civilization the strike in the an- thracite coal regions has been pro- longed almost fifteen weeks, with mil lions of dollars loss to the miners, the employers of these miners and the gen. eral public. It is more than unfortu- nate. indeed; it is a reprGach to cur civilization. There ought to be some way in which labor difficulties of this kind could be avoided. Arbitration should take the place of mutual re criminations and if necessary com promise should be agreed to instead of a resort to sticks and stones on one side and calling in of the state mill itia on the other. Even if the miners were 10 go back to work at once they would find several valuable mines per manently abandoned. owing to their flooded condition. and thirty-five hum dred former employees would be unable to resume their old places on this ac- count.
 Both sides are making sweeping as- sertions about the condition of the strike. The operators say that several collieries are being worked. though they admit that the number of em- ployes is not large. The workingmen, on the other hand. declare that hardly any collieries are in operation, and that even if coal is being mined little or none is being shipped. In New Eng land they are pretty certain O. the latter assertion. The stocks of hard coal in that vicinity are becoming i'm pressively less, and the price is likely to be boosted again at any time. It is said that there are about 14S,000 men on strike. but that the key of the sit uation remains in the hands of 45,000 of these the real miners, without whose aid the bumpers, engineers and helpers could not produce coal. These 45,000 men the strike leaders are en- gagged in coddling, distributing large sums of money among them and urg- ing them to stand firm. While there may not be as much money coming in as the leaders could wish, considerable is being received. Twenty thousand dollars was contributed by the railway trainmen last week. and New York city alone is said to be contributing ten thousand dollars a week
 It is a remarkable fact that the one man who it is believed could beyond question end the strike is Matthew Stanley Quay. A dispatch from Wilkes barre says:
 Arbitration. forced by President Roosevelt or Senators Quay and Pen rose. is the only hope now. Business

Some Imports

People are apt to judge the prosper ity of nation by the excess of it's exports over it's imports In this coun- try We have been accustomed to look
 with pride upon figures which show that we have been more a nation or sellers rather than of buyers, and so flatter ourselves upon the balance of

 can, showing that our imports of a certain kind of articles have increased steadily and rapidly for the last twen-
 ty years, and particularly within the
 last year, is more a subject for con graduation than a great balance of trade would be. We are thus made aware that We are growing more and
 mere to be a great manufacturing na-
 tion, and that the diversity of our manufactures is swiftly increasing.
 These imports are of the crude or partly finished products of nearly every country on the globe. A considerable part of the manufactured articles into which they enter are not exported. so that it is also shown that there is steadily growing home marAet. the best of all markets. The difference be- tween the cost of the crude material and of the finished product is distr!b- uted among the workers of the coun- try. and the price to the home con sumer is greatly lessened. We are year by year putting upon the home market articles which it was thought could never be manufactured in this coun- try in competition with countries where the making of them had been established industries before the birth of the republic.
 That they were able in the first place to withstand competition was due to the fostering influence of protection. At the present time there are many industries in the United States which ten years ago were supposed to be doomed to failure. They are so far ad- vanced now that notwithstanding their materials are brought from the four corners of the earth. they have out stripped their ancient competitors in foreign lands and furnished the home market with better articles at lower prices

 Newspapers for the News

It is bad enough for newspapers to indulge in what is popularly known as "yellowness," but when a magazine un- dertakes to enter this field it is al- most certain to get into trouble.
 The latest evidence of this is fur nished by a London magazine called The Lady's Realm, which has just fig ured in the courts in a highly unenvi- able light. The proprietor of The La dy's Realm has been fined for breach of the law; and while the exact pro- visions under which he was prosecuted have not been explained in the cabled dispatches, the justice of the punish ment is being generally endorsed.
 In it's effort to initiate American jour nalism, the English journal published in it's July number most elaborate de- scription of the coronation of King Ed ward-that coronation tEt did not come eff. "A Peers Daughter" whose position gave her a place in Westmin- ster during the exercise, described everything in elaborate detail The same versatile pen gave to the enter prising magazine a review of the cor onation performance at the opera, in which she displayed great critical judg- iilSiAb III ACliliiS Ol AlclDd S lIluIlDn anu Of the rather mediocre of the other high-priced stars from whom better things were expected.
