leaders of the unions are pledged to
abide by the decision of the umpire,
and the question arises as to whether
or not they can keep their men in
line. According to the reports from
Wilkesbarre, the miners are bitterly
disappointed that the decision has
gone against them, particularly on
one count, that regarding discharges,
and there is some talk of throwing up
all the agreements and beginning
again the fight with the operators.
Mr.. Wright held that the operators
had the right to discharge their en-
ployees whenever they liked There
have been hundreds OF petty strikes all
over the country in almost every trade
on account of the discharge of one or
more employees who were popular
enough TO nave their associates resent
this action on the part of their en-
ployers, and, therefore, quit work.
Plainly, in the conduct of any bust
ness it is necessary for employers of
labor to have complete power to dis
charge men at any time. Under any
other ruling the maintenance of dis
cipline and obedience to orders would
be impossible. No one denies that
the laborer has the right to work or
to refrain from working when he SO
wishes, nor can the right of the en-
ployer to hire or discharge employees
be questioned. If the miners expected
any other decision than that which
has been reached on this question, it
must simply be taken as further proof
of their unwisdom and blindness on
many simple industrial problems.

HOWELL FOR GORMAN.

With the Democrats casting about
apparently in an almost aimless way
for some one to lead the party in next
years presidential contest, any straw
in the party is eagerly caught at
Hence it is with unusual interest that
an editorial in the Atlanta Constitu-
ion, which seems to look favorably on
Senator German as candidate, has
been received with lively interest be-
cause it is taken to mean that CLARK
Howell, editor of the Constitution, is
now practically out for German. Says
the Constitution:
Congressman Mardwick of the 10th
district is quoted in the Augusta
Chronicle as being strongly in favor
of the selection of Senator German of
Maryland as the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee. The reasons he ad-
vances are those which are appealing
to Democrats not only of the South,
but all parts of the country-Senator
GoIman's staunch democracy, his
splendid capabilities, his knowledge
of men and measures, gained through
long experience in public life, and
the fact that he is, or ought to be, sat
isfactory to all elements i'll the party.
Senator German can hold a seat in
the Senate as long as he chooses, and
in that body he will continue to be
the leader OF his party. Ii he were to

Never were his quest or choice;
All he cared for was assent
Whispered by the still small voice,
And, being loved and understood
By the just, and wise, and good.
Death hath cloistered now his lips,
Husht his voice, and sealed his eyes.
Think of how much wisdom sleeps
In the churchyard where he lies
Who will guide us now? Alas
One by one the sages pass.
Chanting then around his bier,
Under overarching sky,
Prayer and hymn he loved to hear
In ancestral sanctuary,
Bring him, for funereal crown,
Reverence rather than renown.

The Hardwick Gazette tells good
story on we'll known east slider who
has been twice mentioned for the gov
ernorship during the present summer
and who is likely to be mentioned
again before the game is over. Says
the Gazette: Alexander Dunnett,
of st. Johnsoury, is a somewhat alb
sent minded sometimes.
Not long since this disciple of Black
stone from the lily white town un-
loaded himself from a passenger coach
at this railroad station, and proceed
ing to the Eastman & Hoffman livery
stable, hired horse and buggy to go
over to Albany or whereabouts to per-
form some business at law. He had
his horse put up, and was soon in the
thick of lawsuit. Business over he
was asked by another gentleman pres
ent to ride to Hardwick. Audy'
accepted the invitation, smoked good
cigars, swapped lies with his COM
panion, and finally reached Hardwick.
Here he ate good supper, and de-
parted on the evening train for home,
blissfully forgetful of the horse and
buggy he lett in Albany. The team
was finally traced by its owners, and
returned to them the third day after
its departure.

ideas for the good of the firm. We
are more sensible in these matters than
we used to be. And in the present
state of human development it is sure
ly enough IL one promises love and
consideration in the marriage rela-
ton. If there were love and consid-
Grafton on both sides, could there be
any question of obedience between
husband and wife?

Inspired by success in the matter of
the land act, it appears that the lead
ing Irishmen who brought it about
are not willing to rest until other
efforts are made for the good of Ire
land. Capt. Shawe-Taylor, who was
secretary of the recent landlords and
tenants conference in Dublin, which
was instrumental in securing the Irish
Land act, proposes to invite represent
atives of the Orangemen, Roman
Catholics, and Prostestants and the
heads of the educational institutions
in Ireland to meet in Dublin and con-
fer together with the purpose of find
ing common ground on which all
may stand, thus ending the religious
differences in connection with educa-
ton which have lasted for centuries
and which have been responsible for
many of Ireland's difficulties.

C0OCH's BRIDGE

1t was peaceful army, yet not devoid
OF martial pomp that invaded Cooch's
Bridge Thursday and trooped over the
very ground on which just one hundred
and twenty-six years ago the trained
British troops clashed with the Colonial
soldiers in a battle that has come down
in history as the first in which the Stars
and Stripes were first unfurled. 1t was
to celebrate this proud and historic event
that about twenty-five hundred persons,
including state officials, soldiers and
patriotic citizens assembled under the
auspices of the Caesar Rodney Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution,
to hear recounted in eloquent orations
the achievements of the sturdy fore
fathers of Revolutionary days who per-
petuated for posterity the national en-
blems that there was first baptized with
blood and bullet.
While large delegations of visitors came
from Wilmington, hundreds of people
journeyed from all over the county in
carriages and in conveyances of all sorts.
Convenient hitching places were pro-
vided for the teams, and scarcely at any
time was there congestion of traffic as
the stream of horses and carriages poured
over Cooch's Bridge.
Possibly for the first time at any civil
celebration in Delaware. a detachment of
United Jtates tronps was detailed to par
ticipate. The a,lilierymen were assisted
by Company L. Of the First Delaware
Infantry, aud to add further touch of
color to the military picture Governor
John Hum was accompanied by the
members of his staff in full regimentals.
Addresses were made by Judge Penne-
will, George B. Alden and Governor

THE CUP REMAINS HERE

After four unsuccessful at
tempts to sail the third race of
the Americas Cup series, the
Reliance decisively defeated the
Shamrock III on Thursday. This
settles the fate of the Cup for at
least two years and probably for
many years. Sir Thomas Upton
appears from his published
interviews to be thoroughly dis
heartened, if not disgusted, man.
After an expenditure of millions
and a series of trials extending
over nearly six years, bis last
venture is even more disastrous
than the first or second. He
comedies that under present
conditions, it is useless to at
tempt to win until England has
produced a Herresshoff to de-
sign the winner. 1t is to be hop
ed that the New York Yacht
Club will modify the conditions
of the match, so that competition
will be possible. Under the pre-
sent rules, the challenging yacht
is at a serious disadvantage and
it would but be in the interest of
true sport to at least put both
boats on an equal footing. Some.
thing will have to be done if it is
desired to keep interest alive.

JUSTICE DONE RIOTERS IN ILLINOIS

The Illinois courts, an Illinois
jury and the Illinois authorities
have done their duty by the mob
which six weeks ago attacked the
Jail in Danville, where a negro
was confined, and incidentally
hung a negro whom it caught in
the streets outside.
The attack was made when
first the riot in Wilmington and
next that in Evansville, Ind, had
set every lawless gang all over
the country, North and South,
ready to defy the legal authori-
ties and to go as far in assault,
breaking, entering, arson and
murder as those who kept the
peace would permit. In Danville
the mob was repulsed. The
Sheriff and his deputies, instead
of firing over the heads of the
mob and yielding the prisoner in
their care and under their pro-
lection to the vengeance of the
rioters, fired into the mob and
wounded nearly fifty, several of
them mortally.
Instead of collapsing before
the mob and paltering weak in
anity, Governor Yates called out
four companies of the National
Guard with forty rounds Of ball
cartridge and patrolled the town,
suppressing the mob. Mayor
Beard, of Danville, protected the
Jail and the county authorities
took steps to enforce the law.
Out of eight rioters put on
trial six are convicted. The
conviction now is only for a
misdemeanor, but, as all exper-
fence shows, any crime, and
most of all rioting, is sup
pressed not by the severity but
the certainty O. punishment.
There remain twenty-four rio
ters to be tried for the weightier
crimes in the acts of the mob.
Whether these are convicted
or not is Of small consequence by
the determination and resolution
of the officers of the law to set
the law in motion. They are not
responsible for what the jury
may do. They are responsible
for bringing rioters before jury.
Nothing can be more demoraliz-
ing to any State, county or city
than a mob for whose punish
ment no steps are taken. Phil

Booker Washington's opinion
that the best thing to do with the
negro is to teach him a trade and
how to farm scientifically does not
appear to have met the approval
of his brethren in Boston. In CIV

raised an ugly racket among the
brethren, the police had to be call

Booker was allowed to continue
his lecture.
