THOUGHTS OF A RECLUSE.
A Few Quotations Handed In for Pub.
Iication In This Issue.

The difference between a respecta-
BILE citizen and a chronic politician Is
like the difference between silver and
quicksilver; II you put your finger on
silver you have valuable article un-
der It, If you put your finger on quick
silver you have nothing under II.
Give a loaded revolver to an infant
and vote 10 an ignorant man and
the second crime is worse than the
first.
One advantage democracy has ov-
er a monarchy is that there is more
wisdom in hundred fools than In one.
We Oblige our clergymen, lawyers,
physicians. soldiers. engineers, to
study for some years and to pass ex-
aminations which prove fitness for
their work before we allow them to
deal with our lives and property; but
what do we require from the men
that make our laws? We talk about
the nobility of obedience to law and
we let the professional politician
make the law. We entrust the safety
OF our property, children and civiliza-
ton to ballot-buyers.
Anyone can be patriot in time OF
war, but wars are scarce in Amer
lea and we need more patriotism in
time of peace.
Such is the infection of the time,
That for the health and physic of our
right.
We cannot but deal with the very
hand
OF stern Justice and confused Wrong.

glad tidings that a common ground
of agreement between the operators
and miners had been found, and that
the strike was practically ended.
II was learned few moments later
that the chief feature which brought
about the agreement of the eoperators
and miners to the arbitration commits
sion, was the appointment of an addi.
tional member by the president, the
surmise following, as a matter of
course, that the additional member
would be more particularly a repre-
sentative of labor. 1t was said at the
same time that now an agreement
had been arrived at as to the means
of determining the differences, that
the president would insist on immedi-
ate resumption of work at the mines,
and that he had reason to expect his
advice wuld be followed very prompt
ly.
Messrs. Bacon and Perkins, part
ners in Morgan's banking firm, were
present at the conference as represen-
tatives of the operators. When the
gathering broke up all present were
in high good humor. and there was

Satisfactory All Around.

Washington. Oct. 16.-The greatest
satisfaction is expressed here In Off.
cial circles over the success of the
negotiations for the settlement of the
coal strike. The president feels deep
ly grateful for the outcome. He re-
CARDS 1t as honorable to both sides.
as securing justice to both sides, and
above all, as averting terrible cal
amity to the people.
Mr.. Sargent, the commissioner Of
immigration. who is a well known la
Dor leader. and who has been promi-
nent in the movement TO secure a set
tlement of the differences between the
operators and strikers, is especially
pleased. as organized labor is speci.
fically recognized in the makeup of
the arbitration commission.
1t is understood that for some time
past the president had steadily In
view the fact that the only way a
settlement could be arrived at was
on the basis of a commission of ar.
bitration. and that ne has given much
time and earnest thought to the per.
sonnel of such commission.
