September Ia, 1oO1-1oO3.

This is one of the sad days In the ma
tional calendar the second anniversary of
the death of President Mckinley. Though
it IL not marked by special ceremonies. It Is
nevertheless borne in mind by the people as
a time for mourning and commemorative
thought Of the murdered chief executive
The tragedy is yet fresh in the public mind
1t seems but few months ago that the
country was stunned by the announcement
that Mr., Mckinley had been shot at Buff
falo, In the midst of a great crowd of peo-
pie, pressing forward to receive the cordial
hand-grasp which had made for him so
many friends. Then came the later more
consolatory tidings which engendered hope
that he would recover from the wound so
treacherously inflicted The reaction of low
was as sharp as had been the shock of
grlef- But suddenly came the first warn
lngs that the case was beyond the control
OF the physicians. The tide turned The
second blow was in some respects more Sc
we're than the first, and yet hope remained
with some even to the end. When that end
came IL was of nature to soften the panps
OF grlef- The high nobility of the man was
there revealed, and the sobbing people felt
lllumined by the light of a great spirit
passing out. This day Is to be marked
among all days for the lesson ii teaches in
|Hrislah forbearance In gentle thoughtful
ness Tor others and patient resigna ton.
Inc nation, sorely stricken and deprived of
the services of It's great leader, was never
theiess enriched and strengthened by the
manner OF William McKinley's death.

of the mark. and with him every other
member of the fusion government ehosea
two years ago will be under the ban of pub
lie disapproval. Jerome cannot hope to
shine as a conspicuous exception while the
other fusion officials are being condemned.
The mayors work has been every whit as
good as his and much more difficult. To
clamor now for an independent democrat
is to invite the charge of partisanship. Mr..
Jerome has been regarded heretofore as an
especially fine example of the vigorous citi-
zen who puts duty above party. He won
thousands of votes for the fusion ticket in
1901 by his appeal to the people to forget
partisanship and work for decent govern
ment. 1t will be a sorry spectacle if now he
sinks from this high plane and pleads for
a ne-y ticket on the ground either that the
mayor is not a strong candidate or that 1t
is time for new deal. Mr.. Jerome'5 oppo
sition cannot possibly hurt Mr.. Low, but
1t can and will. If persisted in, most seri-
ously injure Mr.. Jerome

Colorado's Labor Troubles.

The Stars staff correspondent at present
travelling In the west sends an account OF
the labor troubles in Colorado which must
arrest serious attention at this time, with
the Issues Of unionism so conspicuously IN
evidence in this part of the country. 1t ap-
pears from this account that there Is little
hope that serious crisis can be averted.
The unions, compactly organized, are de-
termined to strike and the employers are
equally determined not to yield to their de-
mands. The governor of the state is out
spoken in his promise to employ the militia
to preserve the peace and to give sufficient
protection to the non-union miners who
may desire to work. fourth factor Is in
evidence, the business men who have TO
direct connection with either side, and who
have organized alliances in various centers,
the avowed object of which is to defend the
people from the malevolent effects of the
boycott and in an emergency to render aid
in the restoration of order. 1t would seem
that the forces are lining up for a struggle
of first magnitude.
The specific issues of the case are sub
ordinated to the general question of the
establishment Of the union the dominat-
ing force or its demolition. Such fight
must necessarily be bitter and prolonged,
demoralize the community at large. Each
successive labor struggle emphasizes two
distinct propositions. the recognition of
which will save both sides much trouble,
expense and suffering. These are. first.
that the union is a permanent feature Of
the industrial situation; second, that the
union can never hope to control by the ex-
ercise of tyranny.
1t might seem at first glance that it Is in
consistent to declare that the union Is
bound to remain as an influential factor
and also that the employer must have the
right to hire non-union labor when he so
desires. But in the last analysis there Is
nothing incompatible in these two asser-
lions. The union will survive and thrive
even while public opinion and the courts
continue to uphold the right of the nom
member to work and Of the employer to en-
gage him. Eventually the leaders of union
ism will recognize the truth that through
conservatism and fairness and the accept
ance of the principle Of arbitration will the
union become strongest. The day of COM
pulsory arbitration, backed either by stat
utes or by an inviolable public opinion, can
not be long postponed. Then the union,
wisely managed and led. will stand for the
workingman's surest agency to secure re-
dress of grievances and betterment Of
condition.
In Colorado this Finish fight will doubt
less unless checked by the exercise of wise
counsels before the break comes, lead to
much loss and bitterness. But 1t will settle
none Of the questions at issue. 1t will
strengthen the determination of the third
party in the industrial equation, the public,
to dominate the situation apart from the
passions and prejudices and selfishness OF
the contestants. 1t may thus be a benefit
to the community, but it is a great pity
that the rational method of adjustment
should not be established at sighter cost

Russia in Manchuria.

AS the date named for the evacuation
of the Manchurtan provinces by Russia
draws near the case becomes more and
more clouded with doubt. A few days
ago Russia submitted certain conditions to
her withdrawal. which were regarded by
the representatives of the powers at Picking
entirely reasonable. When scrutinized
for any possible sign Of Russian duplicity
they appeared innocent and great relief
was expressed that at last the Russian
bear was to move out Of the region Of SO
much Dispute. But now comes word that
the Russian ambassador has presented GER
tain new conditions. which Prince Ching,
the head of the Chinese bureau Of foreign
intercourse. declares to be very reason
abla This certiacation Is a cause for
doubt.
It Is now proposed that Russia shall
evacuate the province of Niuchwang or
Mukden October 8. the date originally set
for the whole move. the province of Kirin
four months later and that OF Hilung
Chang a year later Mukden is on the yell
low Sea, Kirtn is next northward in the
interior and Hilung Chang Is the most
northerly. Thus a progressive retreat is
projected. 1t Is also demanded by Russia
that permission be given to maintain Rus
stan military posts on the highway be-
tween Tsitsihar. capital Of Hilung Chang,
which is on the line of the railroad from
the main stem of the Siberian line to the
Lao Tung peninsula, and Blagovestchensk,
on the line of the main stem to vladivo-
stock. and also on the Sungari river. This
means the military command Of the entire
province. stretching a line of guards across
the center Of the country and along the

that this is necessary for the protection of
the railroad. Other demands relate to du-

Inasmuch as Russia is distinctly pledged
to the United States to get out of Man.
churia. these repeated new conditions sug-
gest determination to drive hard bar
gain or else to precipitate fresh compli-
cations. during the unraveling of which
Russia will continue to sit tight in her
acquired position. The United States has
obtained the grant of two open ports from
China In the Mukden province. and will in
sist upon the fulfllment of the pledge. Its
interest in the evacuation of the entire re-
giOn by Russia Is inspired by the belief
that only through such demonstration of
good faith can the St. Petersburg govern
ment contribute to the stability of condi-
tions in northeastern Asia. Japan's jeal--
ousy of Russia Is constant menace. The
land-grabbing tendencies of Germany and
Franco. in imitation of Russia. are an ele-
ment of danger. The regeneration Of China
must come through assurance Of territorial
integrity and the establishment of a high
standard Of International honor. The
United States hopes to preserve the equili-
brium among the powers by pointing stead
lastly to the pledges already given and
thereby preventing underhand work and
reaction toward the old demoralizing con-
ditionS.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

Senator Carmack we are told, will for
nnally propose the repeal Of the fifteenth
amendment He is one OF the younger lead
ers of the democracy, and an aggressive
man. He is probably tired Of seeing his
party beat about the bush on the race Ques-
ton, and wants a show Of hands on some
thing definite. Why not? First, we had
the row over the Acknowledgement Of the
negro by force Now we have a row over
his disfranchisement by state enactments.
Why not take the sense of the country on
the national enactment to which the whole
matter is referable? We are sometimes
told by men OF the Carmack school that
public sentiment favors repeal; that the
north is quite as much out of patience with
the fifteenth amendment as the south. But
that is mere assertion. The north has had
no opportunity as yet to record a change
of view if one has taken place there.
VIII this program of Mr.. Carmack bring
him into collision with MIR. German? The
latter is the democratic leader In the Sem
ate, and Is quoted as opposed to the intro
duction Of the race question into next years
campaign. 1t is this attitude of the Mary
land senator which lends importance to the
inquiry as to where Mr.. Williams Of Mis-
sissippi stands In the premises. The leader
of the minority in the Senate and the leader
of the minority In the House should pull to-
gether on all questions, and particularly on
the eve Of a presidential election. If Mr..
Williams Is of the Vardaman school he Is
not, for the present at least, in line with
Mr.. German.
This announcement Of Mr.. Carmacks pro-
gram appears simultaneously with the an
nouncement that the democratic leaders in
Ohio are making play this year for the
negro vote there. 1t numbers some thirty
thousand, and is therefore to be reckoned
with. 1t is cast. as rule, almost solidly for
the republican party. This year the negroes
are told that they never receive any offices
at the hands of the republicans, and are not
even protected from lynchers in those
states where the republicans are In control
Obviously the promise Is that by supporting
the democratic ticket the negroes in Ohio
may hope to obtain recognition in the dis
tribution of the patronage and greater pro-
lection under the law in case Of democratic
success. How will this strike Mr. Carmack?
Would he quarrel with Tom Johnson If the
latter should be elected with the aid of
negro votes? Or are those votes objection
able only when cast for the other side?

Panama.
From the Ne v York Tribune.

Men of discretion will not hastily en-
courage the talk of insurrection and secas-
sion in the Colombian state of Panama
There Is no question that that state Is de-
sirous of having a canal constructed across
the iSthmuS by the United States 1t re-
CARDS that as essential to its own continue ed
prosperity; for, If the canal Is not con-
structed there, 1t will probably be at Me-
aragua. and that will divert interoceanic
traffic from Panama and leave the latter
in the lurch. Panama Is therefore much
concerned over the threatened rejection by
Colombia of the United States canal treaty
and is doing some talking about seeding
from Colombia, setting up Independent
republic, and then negotiating with the
United States for Il canal. That Is their
own affair. We are having no dealings
with men proposing to undertake Central
American revolutions or secessions.
