we will endeavor to keep 1t before our
people. We are pleased to note that
many positions in the Falls and Ben

our people, and We believe the credit
is due to the Rev. w. L. N. Baker,
who has worked so faithfully, and by
his daily christian life has done much
to establish confidence among the best
white people of each of the cities. that

The Coal Strike.

The sudden subsidence of trouble in the
hard coal region after the arrival of the
state troops was not at first entirely re
assuring. Too often in the past have riots
occurred after such a pacific change under
the military influence, as the people have
grown accustomed to the presence of the
soldiers and shown contempt for them. But
at Shenandoah the prompt action of the
commanding officer in preparing for re-
sistanCe of night attacks, the distribution
Of ball cartridges and other evidences of g.
determination to conduct a business-Iike
campaign at the first sign of hostility ap-
parently changed the currents of the
thoughts OF the strikers and their sympa-
thlzers. for Shenandoah has been quiet for
more than a week. Trouble has broken
out at Duryea, north of Wilkesbarre. where
working washery was stoned by mob
and the guards fired into the crowd and
were later arrested. Today. however, all is
quiet and there seems no present danger of
a spread Of the evil spiri, of disorder.
Meanwhile the strike continues, having
passed into its fourth month. without any
sign Of a weakening on the part of either
the men or the operators. The talk of in

Tariff Revision.

The New York Sun makes the following
quotation from the Lewiston. Maine, Jour
nal the newspaper of which the late Mel
son Dtngley was at one time editor:
"One of the best ways to throw wet
blanket on good times is to fool with the
buzz saw that is doing business. Contrast
the years 1926 with the years 1S9i-19H2!
4 general revision of the tariff will be in
order after 1904. Tariff tinkering prior to
that time will run up against many snags
that are now not on the chart
To this the Sun makes the following re-
ply:
In view of this the Lewiston Journal re
CARDS the debate started by the Iowa plat
form as of academic rather than practical
significance.
Nevertheless it is true that an academic
discussion when 1t becomes agitation, can
have a most practically disastrous effect
upon business conditions and business conf
dence.'
AS a matter of fact. the Lewiston Journal
goes a good deal further in this matter
than do the Iowa republicans. They are
not proposing a general revision Of the
tariff, but only a lowering of the rates of
certain schedules They are still the friends
o. protection. and point with great salts
faction to the extraordinary success of the
Dingley law. 1t has more than met the
it. and has done 50 much for certain indus
tries that they no longer have a just claim
to the protection it affords The Iowa re-
publiCans merely insist that the rates appli-
cable to these industries be overhauled in
the interests of the people; and they think
that the work should be done by the party
which upholds the principle of protection.
There is nothing of a wet-blanketing nature
about that proposition.
But the Lewiston Journal sees the time
approaching for general revision of the
tariff. 1t says that issue will be in order
after 1904 How soon after? The sooner
the better when that admission is made.
So why not, if the Journal is right, make
the next presidential campaign on the tariff
issue? Why not say to the people frankly
that the Dingley law has served its purposes
50 admirably, and everything under it's be
nign influences has advanced so rapidly,
that new law will soon be necessary, and
that if it's lease of power is extended the
republican party will pass that law? Would
that wet-blanket the business interests of
the country?
There Is nothing academic in the Iowa
platform. Neither is there any dangerous
agitation in it. Existing conditions are
courageousIy recognized, and the remedy is
frankly stated. No war protection wise
ly applied, is proposed or is possible with
the party of protection in power. What is
proposed may be performed without injury
to anybody. But danger lies in delay, and
in the impatienCe of the people when de-
MED legislation which they feel they have
q right to expect.

South Carolina.

If it is to be a survival of the fightest in
South Carolina the state will deserve the

years of brilliant service to the common

when one is being carried swiftly in an
electric or steam car. The exhilaration
of the motion and the thought of mas
terysever tremendous force add to the
zest of the experience Then, too. the
factor of danger is to some natures
positively attractive. 1t is this which ap-
peals strongly to many people in indulgence
in such dangerous sports as foot ball, polo
and steeplechasing frem the spectators s

as shooting the chute and looping the

tendency which induces people to climb to
dizzy and dangerous mountain heights
The opportunity for observing Splendors of
scenery is of but slight consequence in
comparison with the thought of the risk
which it is positive pleasure to run in
crossing crevasses and scaling ice walls.
But such sports and exercises do not en-
danger other lives save as guides and con-
ductors and operators deliberately stake
their own safety on a professional venture

than his own bones and those of his hired
attendants. He places in jeopardy scores

without the SAVIOR of danger. The law has
undertaken in a measure to repress this
tendency but it will apparently require
somewhat more than the mere occasional
execution of a statute or an ordinance to
persuade the owners of the swiftrunning
automobiles that their responsibility is
greater than the duty they owe to them
selves and their families. Perhaps the pro-
cess of education may demand even such
deplorable sacrifices as that just recorded
in France to enforce the lesson lastingly.

Mr.. BRYAN Again Explains.

Mr.. BRYAN cannot feel complmented by
the pubIic's reception of his explanation of
his attitude toward the presidency. He can
not but see that either he does not make
his meaning entirely clear. or else his frank
ness ard sincerity are in question. Now, he
considers himself a master Of expression.
and his friends declare that he is utterly
without guile. And yet no sooner does one
of his periodical deliverances appear on
that subject than somebody-usually some
admirer-appIes to him for a key. What
can the matter be?
This is the latest form in which Mr. Bryan
puts the matter, prepared in response to an
inquiry from a southern editor:
Il shall not be a candidate for the presi-
.dency In the next campaign. and. l may
add | have no choice beyond the desire to
see some one nominated who was loyal not
only TO the ticket. but to the platforms In
1896 and 1870. and who if elected, could
be trusted TO stand by the people in the
struggle against organized wealth.
While no one can look very far ahead or
foresee the contingencies that may arise. L
have no plans looking to a denomination at
any future time.
VIII this be sufficient? VIII it close the
chapter? Probably not, 1t should not. 1t
really leaves the matter just where 1t was
before We all understand that in the way
Mr.. Bryan was a candidate between No
vember. 1896, and July, 1900, he is not a
candidate now. He was then openly in the
field. He and his friends were masters of
the situation. He wanted another try at
the presidency. and did not hesitate to
make his wishes known There was no
serious challenge of his leadership. The un-
precedentIy large vote he had polled served
in measure to break the force of his de-
feat. He still held, his head high, and his
friends applauded him.
The second defeat, however. has left Mr..
Bryan considerably discredited before the
country. His leadership now is very Sc
riously challenged. In sections where his
name at one time was all potent it works
no spell today at all. This imposes upon
him the attitude of receptivity. 1t is good
he has no expectations. He plays a good
card in taking a place in the ranks and de-
Claring that he is content to be there. He
becomes more conspicuous a high pri-
vate,' and more attractive, than he would
be as noisy contestant for an honor he
has twice received. a show of modesty and
resignation may accomplish what a bold
assertion could not.
ri. country is beginning to reckon with
Mr.. Bryan now a disappointed but still
ambitious man. and it does not err in that
estimate. He has shrewdness and persis-
tency, and 70 be merely an agitator out of
office is not the role he is most ambitious to
play. 1t is the role he will continue TO
play if he can secure no other, but he hopes
for a change which will make him the man
of chief executive power.
