comoke City, Md, on March %.

over session of the Wilmington Con.
ference, but is widely known among
ministers and laymeU.
This year he conducted the Philadel-
phia Conference, and some ministers
felt that the bishop would be assigned

The candidates in this State elected
and their respective pluralities are as
follows:
First District-W William ii. jackson,
Republican. by 1853
Second District-J Fred q Talbot,
Democrat. by l.552.
Third District-Frank @. Wachter,
Republican. by l79.
Fourth District-James w. Denny.
Democrat, by $50.
Fifth District-Sydney E. Mudd, Re.
publican. by 1890.
Sixth District-George A. Pearre, Re.
publican. by 3,SSS.
The majorities for Messrs Mudd and
Pearre are very large, but there was in
neither case any marked increase in the
Republican vote. There was, however,
a great decrease i'll the Democratic vote
Mr. Pearre's vote i'm Frederick was 200
less than he received two years ago In
Allegany it fell off 800 aud in Washing
ton county / 100. His increased major.
ity therefore came from the greater
falling off of the Democratic vote.
At the State election last year every
county OH the Eastern Shore gave ma
jority for the head of the Democratic
ticket-Dr. Herring. candidate for Comp
troller of the Treasury. This time only
three counties gave Democratic majori-
ties-Cecil, Queen Anne's and Worces-
ter-Queen Anne's was the banner
Democratic county, and gave almost the
normal majority OF about 500.
The Republican plurality in Mary
land is S,20l, and in Baltimore city 800
In 1900 the State gave 1891 and the
city 6,9l6 Republican plurality

soned that there was no room for an issue
unless the union chose to stand for violence
and disorder.
Now the whole case reverts to that ques-
ton: Does the trades union stand for po-
tential lawlessness? Does 1t rely, in the
last analysis upon violence to enforce Its
demands? Does it fear the National Guard
as the states weapon against Itself as dis
turber Of the peace? That would surely seem
to be the meaning OF all such cases as that
of William Potter. It will not do for the
peaceably inclined members Of the union to
declare that they should not be molested
by the guard merely because few rowdies
precipitate riots or because some irrespon-
sible members Of the union violate their
own rules. The union must be bound by
the acts Of its members. whether all Of
them or a few Of them. Strike riots may
in truth be precipitated by outsiders. but no
one can truthfully declare that the union
men invariably stand in such cases for
peace, or that union men are not to be
found among the rioters.
Riots are caused in almost every instance
by the attempts of manufacturers or street
car or railroad companies to resume opera
lions pending the adjustment Of labor trou
bles. If these efforts succeed the strike
must necessarily fail. If they fall the strike
succeeds. One means of blocking them Is
for the union to stop the operation Of
mills or cars by destroying the plant or
bockading the line. Another is to prevent
the employment of non-union men. Any
move in that direction is, in the eye of the
law, unjustiffed, and warrants the employ
ment Of the community's own peace forces
as soon as violence actually occurs or
property is destroyed or the public Is in
convenienced or suffers loss from the inter-
ruption of traffic.
There is no prospect that the public will
ever come around to the view that trades
unionism can be permitted to stand for
such violations of the law even for the sake
Of the meritorious principles upon which
such organizations are based. And until
such a change in the public sentiment oc-
ours any antagonism toward the militia on
the part of the trades unions will be inter-
preted as confession that those organiza-
lions regard themselves as essentially revo-
lutionary

The Unions and the Militia

The attorney general OF the state Of New
York finds that there Is no law to punish
the labor union Of Schenectady which
caused the expulsion and discharge OF VII
liam Potter Of that town because he as a
militiaman. obeyed orders and served dur
ing the recent street car troubles at Glens
Falls. 1t appears that the union merely
dropped Potter from the rolls for reasons
which satisfied a majority of It's members
and then notified his employer OF it's action,
whereupon the employer. being timid man
and afraid OF union reprsals, discharged
him. Here is the great issue, however In
this whole matter Of trades unionism In It's
bearing upon the right OF a competent man
to work. William Potter filled all the re-
quirements of good citizenship and good
workmanship. He believed in union organ
ization, paid his dues, obeyed legitimate
orders and asked for recognition as a union
workingman. The law and public duty
commanded him at the same time to enroll
himself in the militia and he obeyed He
could see no conflict between the two re-
lationships. He looked upon the union as
means Of adjusting the issues between
capital and labor by appeal to reason
and by the employment of peaceful meas
ures. and upon the militia as a safeguard
or the state against lawlessness. AS a citi-
zen and workinsman he believed that he
shousd eoatrSeets to both causes. He rea-

The Day Of Gratitude.

Today the nation finds itself In a condi-
ton to justify the most fervent giving OF
thanks for benefits bestowed and for bless
ings In prospect. No great calamities have
befaIIen the people during the past year;
no great losses have been sustained.
year ago the country was only just re-
covering from the first poignant grief for
it's murdered President. 1t was with a sad
heart that 1t devoted itself to the observa-
tions of the day as prescribed by custom
and proclaimed by the Chief Executive. To-
day no such grievous loss is fresh in mind
to mar the occasion. although the memory
OF William Mckinley is undimmed by the
passing of time.
The chief cause of gratitude today Is that
the country has been spared a further pro-
longation Of the great coal strike, which
threatened to preclpitate a most serious
disaster upon the people. The country still
suffers from the effects of the long stoppage
of work at the mines, and even yet there
may be distress in consequence of the short
age of fuel, but the acute danger has been
passed
The farmers of the country are thankful
for crops which have seldom, If ever, been
equaled. Prosperity abounds In every quar-
ter and all lines of human industry. The
people are hard at work at good wages and
are earning fair profits Troubles there
are, of course, here and there some of no
consequence as regards the great body
polite, others menacing in their ultimate
results. But the people look back over the
years and are treasured by the long record
OF righteous dealing and wise decisions,
even though results for good have some
times been obtained at heavy cost.
Washington is grateful for the enjoyment
of it's share of the bounties of fortune. 1t
is pleased to note from year to year signs
Of a material advance toward its Ideals
as great national city. 1t has been helped
on dts way during the twelvemonth which
closes today. 1t has lost one Of its most
helpful friends in Congress in the death
of Senator Mcmillan. but 1t rejoices that
the good work which he did lives after him
and his influence for the development of the
District remains to affect all projects now
pending or contemplated.
Good cheer reigns. The petty cares of the
passing days and weeks are thrown aside.
The day is given to fervent thankfulness
for the bounties Of providence and not to
regrets for losses or disappointments. 1t is
an optimistic. progressive, wholesome and
helpful thought which underlies this fes-
tival of thanks-offering.

Mr.. hale on Revision.
Senator Hale, IN an interview opposing
tariff revision, Is quoted as follows:

Senator Hale, IN an interview opposing
tariff revision, Is quoted as follows:
In the main. a cry for revision means a
new, tariff, built on anti-republican lines.
Generally speaking. II you scratch reviser
You find underneath free trader. Unless
the republican party has lost heart and
faith in its fundamental policies there will
be no meddling with and no emasculation
OF the present tariff, whether under the
guise of reciprocity or reform. In the long
future If a general revision Is demanded
metropolitan party will not be afraid to
undertake it..
Here, IT will be observed, are two propo-
sitIons both interesting in the discussion
OF the subject. The first is that tariff re-
vision spells free trade. And yet Mr.. Hale
ought 10 know that among those favoring
revision are men who supported Mr.. Ding
ley cordially while he was preparing the
tariff bill which bears his name, and have
rejoiced in all that has been accomplished
under It's provisions. How does the Maine
senator explain that2 How can he say in
the face of that fact that tariff revision Is
the cry only of free traders?
The second proposition is that no revision
Is necessary and viii not be for years to
come. Mr.. Hale refers to what may be
done ''in the long future" That is to say.
the Dingley schedules are not to be dis
fairs makes such step Imperative. We
all know what that means. II crash
comes, and men IN panic are running here
and there for relief, and inquiry Is lively
both as to cause and remedy. then 1t will
be safe to turn and revise the tariff. But
revise 1t In which direction? Up. or down
Would anybody propose under such cir
cumstances to lower duties2 Hardly. The
proposition would be to raise them.
However. Mr.. Hale's statement Is to be
welcomed for It's frankness and definite
ness. There Is no mistaking just where he
stands. He presents the Issue fairly and
squarely. He doesn't beat about the bush
with vague concessions and wagner sug-
gestions. He doesn't say, YES 1 admit
that the tariff needs revising, and that the
work should be done, but look at the risk!
We must be careful not to alarm the bust
ness interests. 1t Is better to bear the Ills
OF the schedules we have than fly to those
Of a later devising." He asserts without
qualification that the present schedules are
all right that there is an abundance of
good in them STILL and that all talk to the
contrary is mischievous and comes from
the enemies of protection. He gives repub-
lican reyisionists something to think about,
and shows them what must be done If they
are to hope to win their fight. What say
those gentlemen In reply to the Maine SEN
ator? Do they mean business, and will they
accept the challenge he has issued?

vocation Of the courts aid by this orderly
process, even by the critics Of the injunc-
ton method. If labor disputes were re.
duced more fully to basis Of judicial adj
justment It would be better for both sides
and the country at large. It will be IN
teresting to note how the case in question
results and what arguments the union will
adduce to defend its right to foster strike
by depriving a factory Of its hands. and. on
the other side. what defense the corporation
will present to the charge that it Is en-
ploying forcible measures to prevent the
union from pursuing a peaceful course OF

Electricity In the Mines.
From the Philadelphia Press.

ING PfeS1,
Experim with electricity In some oil
the anthracite mines foreshadow a materia
change in some Of the methods OF coal min.
ing. Many Of the companies are now equip
ping their mines with complete electrical
appliances, and, believing the experimental
stage has been passed, are expanding large
amounts of money in plants. Electricity
will be used not only for lighting the mines
but will take the place Of mules for moving
cars, and will be employed for hoisting
pumping and even drilling and cutting
What effect these Innovations will have
upon the interests of the miners remains tc
be demonstrated. Whether 1t will make 9
less number Of miners necessary or not, II
seems likely to enable a greater amount Of
coal to be mined with less labor.
