FUN WITH ROOT
Letter From Dead Fill
plno.
PATRIOT JOSE RIAL
Killed In 1897 by Spanish
Authorities Before Amerl.
can Troubles Started.
His Recent Attitude.

Washington, Sept. q. = Secretary
of War Root, who assists in prying
open the Ohio Republican campaign
at Akron today, may feel inspired
again to refer to Jose Rial, Filipino
poet and patriot. If he does SO he
should be specific as to conditions and
dates and should get Charley Dick or
johnny Malloy to see that he is quot
ed accurately in the newspapers.
Mr.. Root mentioned his friend Rial
ir a speech at Peoria the other day.
This mention brought out the follow
ing card, written by DR.. w. A. Craffut,
printed in the Washington Post yes
terday:
Editor Post: 1t seems to me that
the genius of Mr.. Secretary Of War
Root is not half appreciated by tho
American people. He not only pos
sesscs political wisdom, but prophetic
vision. He communicates not only with
the living, but with the dead. He not
only quotes what Aguinaldo says, but
he tells us what Jose Rial is think
ing about. In his talented speech in
Peoria, as reported in the Post, he
read letter written by Jose Rial, The
greatest genius and most revered pat
riot of the Philippines, in which he
pleaded with his people to submit 70
American sovereignty as the only way
in which to gain their freedom.
agree with Mr. Root that this appeal
Is not discreditable to the great peo-
pie who fought for the freedom OF
this country, for did not the philoso-
pher, Franklin, when our own revolu-
ton broke out, advise his countrymen
to try to get along with George III
rather than to fight him.
| Put how did the worthy secretary
get the news? The patriot Rial was
executed by the Spaniards in 1897 long
before the United States had trouble
with Spain or relations of any kind
With the Philippines. He has now
been dead more than five years and
the Importance of the fact thatnM Mr..
Root received news from him can hard
ly be exaggerated. 1t brings new
element into the oriental equation.
Why should not the secretary ask
Franklin, Washington, Lincoln and
others of the mighty ones who have
crossed the great divide, what they
think about our dealing with the Fill
ipinos? A letter from Grant would
be timely. A letter from Jefferson
about the meaninglessness or the Dec
laration of Independence might put a
total stop to great deal o. foolish
clamor on the part of Gov Boutwell,,
Carl Schurz, and other traitors to the
dynasty. And what system does Mr..
Root use--the simple slate system Of
Keeler; the Mahatma system of Nine.
Blavatsky or the introspective system
Of Mary Baker Eddy?"

The End In Sight.

The coal barons do not propose 10
fool any longer in this strike matter
3 They propose to start the mines WIN
out further delay. According to this
mornings dispatches the Philadelphia
and Reading coal company will re-
open many mines Immediately. IN
der the protection of troops non-union
men will be imported and the work
resumed. Just now the outlook for
the strikers is gloomy one indeed.
They have but two alternatives;
capitulation on the one hand and
starvation on the other.
The contest all along has been an
unequal one. The operators are men
of wealth. They can afford to close
their mines indefinitely. On their
side they have the law. To the
miners a few weeks idleness means
privation for themselves and their fam
lilies. Now in the approach Of pitt
less winter they can see nothing
ahead but weeks of hopeless misery.
Will they yield? To do so means the
annihilation of the union and complete
submission to the will of the men,
whom they have fought But all
other ways are closed and it is evident
that surrender cannot be long de-
layed.

M.Keesport, Pa, Sept 20. = Eight
men with charre6 faces and
bodies and terribly scorcned heads,
we're taken to McKeesport hospital as
the result of an explosion at furnace
b of the Carnegie blast furnace plant,
Uuqucsne, yesterday evening. Two OF
tho victims have since died and there
is but little hope that any OF the 9TH
ers will recover.
The dead:
Joe Lisl:a.

The injured:
George Caspewik, 10 years old, sim

face, hands and body.
Mike Mishko. 20 years old, married,

body.
Frank Kister, 28 years old, married
of Duquesne, burned about face and
body.
Mike Floskey. 26 years old, married,
of Duquesne, burned about mead and
face.
John Freshke, 80 years old, married
of Duquesne, burned about arms, face,
breast and head.
John Adams, 81 years old, married
of Duquesne, burned about head and
arms.
All of those injured were caught in
the fiery blast of flames and ashes
which followed the blowing out of a
bell while the men were at work. They
were sent up to the dangerous place
ABOUT an hour before. Something had
gone wrong with the working Of the
furnace and these ten we're ordered to
make the necessary repairs. The men

SHOT BROTHER-IN-LAw.

Youngstown, o., Sept 29.-Oscar
Stokes, colored, employed in livery
stable, was shot last night by his
brother-in-law, Alva Rivers, white, a
bridge worker, and taken to the hos
pital, the bullet entering the left side
of his chest and making dangerous
wound.
Stokes was married to a sister OF
Rivers. He was drinking during the
day and abusing his wife, and attempt
ed to carve her with knife. Rivers
interfered to protect his sister, when
Stokes turned on him and Rivers used
his revolver with good effect. Mrs
Stokes justifies her brother In shooting
her husband.

The strides that Canton is making
toward some of her larger neighbors
in the way of the volume of business
done is illustrated by the increase in
her bank clearings. According to the
figures given by Bradstreet, last week
the net increase was 81 per cent over
the corresponding period of last year
while the net gain of Akron was 80
and Youngstown 9.6 At this rate, by
another year Canton will lead her
big sisters. This city has several big
Industries just now in formative
state. When they get to doing busi-
ness, the increase will be even more
rapid.

views and Comment
The Yellow Fever Germ

The news comes from New Orleans
that the long sought germ Of yellow
fever has been found. We have had
SO many positive statements on this
subject heretofore that it is to be hop
ed that this most recent claim can be
substantiated. So far, however, no
very direct Information is vouchsafed
further than that the micro-organism
is of animal origin and has been
traced 10 the mosquito as the host.
Such an assertion, If it can be
scientifically proved, will be of great
value as demonstrating the new the
ory ofeyellow fever propagation by
means Of the insect in question. All
that has been wanting up to this time
is some positive knowledge of the ac-
tive agency at work in the shape of a
germ that can be transferred from the
mosquito to man and from the human
body to the mosquito. -
From meteorological point OF view
these were the only missing links in
the most interesting studies OF Reed
aud Boardman, of the Havana COM
mission.
1t may now be question whether
OF not the Marine Hospital Service by
it's recent claim will divide the honors
of discovery with those already ac-
corded the army.
Practically speaking, however, the
mere finding of the germ as the prop
ogating agent of the fever will doubt
less not alter the present methods OF
arresting epidemics. We prevent the
healthy mosquito from biting the In
fected man and we kill the insect when
it, in turn, become infected. AS re-
suit yellow fever epidemics disappear
By simply annihilating the carrier of
the poison, whatever the latter
may be. f'
That we may now have found the
true germ is matter for congratula-
tion If for no other reason than that
it has long eluded the patient re-
search of numerous other investigat-
ors. - New York Herald.
