CM. Hoosevelt was probably much pleas
ed by the demonstration with which he
was greeted at LJncotn. Nob., the home of
Mr. Bryan. But he should at Imagine
for an Instant that the hearty welcome
svaa due entirely to libs own popularity.
Borne days ago Mr. Bryan especially re
quested his townspeople to treat the Re
publican vice presidential candidate with
marked consideration. Ha even went ro
for ae to suggest that all of hla pictures
be removed from windows and that Bryan
banner* lie taken down, during the visit

ffunl reopon for doubting It. there l a
good re#*oii for a large army from tht
Manripnlnt of the Republican party A
big army U needed to protect the |ntere#p

In thf Philtpplnep.of w hich a prominent Re
publican member of f*ongr-e>* | prealdenL
The platn Inference la that the people
re being taxed to maintain a large army
tn orrtrr thut American ap* ulatora nay
carry out their plana for getting rich tn
the Philippine* without fear of being mo
lea led by the native*. There are now
more than CO.OW t’nlfed Htatea ©obiter*
In the Philippine*. *n<l the ro#t of keeping
them there la enormoup. Hut what <jo©*the
president of th© Philippine Lumber and
Development Company care about that mn
hang ap hip romfanjr make* money?
It would aeein to be hardly proper for
the chairman of the Military Committee
of the loArr house of Congress to be at
the head of a development company in the
Philippines while occupying a position
which enable* him to e*ert a powerful In
fluence In deciding the policy which shall
be pursued in regard to those Islands. If
he had no such Interests he might, and
probably would, take the position that the
wisest thing for thl* country to do i* to
withdraw from the island* and assist the
Filipino* In setting up a government of
their own. But being at the head of a
company that i* gobbling up the land*
and timber of the !lands. Ip Ii at all like
ly that h** would wdfvlse that course?
A great fault to be found with the Re
publican party I* Its willingness to permit
the government to be administered In the
Interests of the leaders of that party. The
tariff is framed so as to benefit them,
though the claim la made that It Is for
the benefit of American workmen No one
who has given the tariff careful consider
ation. doubts that the trusts are the chief
beneficiaries of the protective tariff. It
was said by the chairman of the Huger
Trust not very long ago that the present
tariff was the mother of trust*.
And there la no doubt that the trust
magnates favor a large army for the rea
son chiefly that M will be used In their In
terests. If they should have serious trouble
with their workmen.
The statement made by Mr. Bryan rela
tive to the uses to which the Republican
larty propose* to put the army oiyrht to
startle the whole country. It 1* certain
ly time to call a halt In the Increase of
the army when U appear# that the pur
pose of the party In power la to use the
army to advance the welfare of promoting
syndicate* and trust magnates.

The vote In the state election yesterday
would have b*en larger had there been
any corwest Involved to stir up and main
tain Interest. There was rain in the South
ern rrt of the state, too. and that kept
many voters at home who otherwise might
have east their Uiilots It was expected
that a light vote would be pol.ed. because,
a* a matter of fact, the recent primary
settled the political affairs of the state
for <he next two years. In n few of the
counties there were contest*, but In most
of them the election waa a walk-over for
the Ivmnrratlr nominees* Ttie figures of
yesterday's ©lection, therefore, cannot be
taken as Indicating what the voters of
thorgla will do in the matter of the
presidential election; for beyond a doubt
they will go to the polls next month and
roll up an "old lime" majority for Bryan
and fltevenann.

A straw, showing the feeling of the Re
publican leaders relative to the outcome
of the presidential election, la the an
nouncement that ei-Prraldenl Harrison
has finally consented to make a speech
or two. or at least lo write a letter, be
tween now and the day of election, advo
cating the re-election of Mr. McKinley.
The fact that Gen Harrison ha* said
no word In favor of the presldsntlal can
didate of hie party has been widely com
mented on among Republican*. He Is a
man of great Influence In his parly, par
ticularly In Indiana, the state In which
lie la* hi* resilience It Is the under
standing that he doe* not approve the
Philippine poller of hi* parly. H* ha*
Mid nothing (or or against that policy for
publication, and It t probable that If he
make* a speech or write* a letter he will
not discus* the Philippine question But
should he avoid that question It will be
understood that he la against hts party's
I'hlllygvlns policy, and he would do the
Republican ticket almost ns much dam
age as If he continued to remain silent.
No doubt great pre ure ha* been
brought to bear on Oen Harrison to say
something In favor of Mr. McKinley. They
hope, with hi* assistance, to gel the elec
toral vote of Indiana, ami to strengthen
their line* In other doubtful state*. If
the Republican leaders felt certsln of
winning the election they would never
have approached (Jen. Harrison, and
begged for help. It Is -1.1 that they have
tried to get *x-B|teaker Heed to *ay some
thing for the ticket, but have not suc
ceeded. If Mr Reed should *i>eak hi*
mind about Mr. McKinley and hi* for
eign policy, he would create a sensation
it Is better f r the Republican party that
he declines to take any part In the cam
paign. No doubt, however, the silence of
two such conspicuous Republicans as lien.
Harrison and ex-Bp< k*r Reed h.* had a
very dampening effect on the party gen
erally The apathy of whl-h Chairman

The strike of the miners in the anthra
cite coat region of Pennsylvania I* not
settled yet by any mean* It
sunied. a* soon as the mine operator* of
fered an Increase of per cent In the
ompenso’ tow of the miner*, tnat the
strike waa at ar. end. It si* really more
than the strikers had asked, more than
they t*d expe< ted. Tfcej hoped to get a
small advance In wagee an l some con es
slon- For Instance they wanted a rep
resentative at the scale*, they claiming
that they wre cheated by the weighers
of the -*oal companies. They also asked
that I hers be a reduction in the price of
powder furnished by the s'.orr* of the
fomiwntes. It seems that most. If not ah,
of the companies have consented to tha
reduction In the price .f powder What
the strikers demand now*'ls that the mine
owners and operators shall re.tognlse ih
labor union of the miners—the union
known as the United Mine Workers of
America.
It is said that the mine operators will
never recognise the union. In that case
a long struggle may be looked for If the
miners ars united, and they seem to be
acting In the utmost harmn>. they will
be able to hold out until the whole sec
tion of country using anthracite coal will
tie crying out for fuel
If the mine operator* grant ail of the
demands of the strikers except the one
relating to the union It is doubtful If the
sympathy of the public will be with the
striker*. As hng as It was the under
standing that the miners were being un
derpaid for their labor, and were being
imposed upon in the matter of the prlc©
of powder and the weighing of the coal,
the sympathy of the public wss with
them, but the public will hardly lie aide
to understand the effort to compel the op
erators of the mines to recognii© the min
ers’ union
The statement Is being published that
Presklent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers is a very ambitious man and Is
peeking to unite in one organisation ail
of the mtner* of the entire country,
those working In bituminous, as well at
those working in anthracite mines If he
could accomplish that he would have
most girnniic labor organisation In the
world. With such an organisation he
could practically control the coal mining
business In this country. It la evident,
therefore, that he will not succeed in ac
complishing hi* purpose without a long
tight. It look* ns If the mine operator*
made a mistake in offering such a liberal
compromise so promptly after the strike
was inaugurated Apparently the min
ers were led to believe that they had but
to hold out to have all of their d©a>ands
granted
% PI ZXLDG STATE.
More guessing Is being done as to the
outcome of the campaign In Indiana than
In any other state. There are. of course,
other doubtful states, but they are not as
pussling It Is claimed that there are a*
many as Su.WO Indiana voters who have
not yet made up their minds as to the
tick** they will vote. Assuming that that
statement Is correct, it Is easy to under
stand why the state Is pussling to the pol
iticians.
It Is pretty well understood thaS about
half of the Gold Democrats are back In
the Democratic party, and It is claimed
by the Republicans that the Rllver Repub
licans and Greenbacks* who voted for
Mr. Bryan In ISSS are hack in the Republi
can party. It 1s a pretty swfe assertion,
however, that the politician* do not know
nearly as much about the voters as they
pretend The polls of the state they make
ar© of the most superficial character,
mere speculations The workers are try
ing to enrn their money. Homebody Is go
ing to be very much surprised In the In
diana vote on election day. WUI those
who are surprised be Republicans or Dem
ocrats? That Is a question that cannot be
answered at this time.

There's a story being told at the ex
pense of a well known man who calls
frequently upon an equally well known
young woman, who H summering at Ar
lington. near the Country Club.
The gentleman so the story goes, en
raged an electric automobile for the trp
one aftem-on las: week olid armed with
anew book, a lux of candy and a bunch
of roses, went speed.ng out Fifth avenue
for a iong afternoon visit.
Just * ihe turn was mid* on the road
ha lug toward the dub the manipulator
of tne ausom idle discovered that eome
trifling dlsartwnc tn nt of the brake would
prevent hl sipping the machine It sped
along notwithstanding the ca I of the pas
senger to atop at the Aral liovige on the
right
Finally tha motorman was forced to
confess that he could not stop until the
< leotrlc charge In the * orage t-aitery hid
rothaualed Itself.
That seem'd funny enough for the first
trip or two around the block, hut rtding
about In a clrc e und. r the circumstance,
got exceedingly m. tdotonous after a while
Then the young woman. It ta said, be
came curious ar.d was at a 10-s to ur.de -
•land why her caller preferred to ride
almlewly around In that ftshlon She
went to the frotx door and down the
road In answer to the gentleman's sig
nal
He explained the best he could as the
auiomobCe flew lost, and after a half
doxen more turn* she began to under
stand the situation
It seems the battery had two hours
more to run. and If It all ran out at Ar
-1 ngtnn there would Ire no way of getting
the machine to town. Then they arranged
a sort of railroad station mall catchrr
pan and Ihe gentleman pursed out ihe
book, then the randy, and finally the iv>ee
to the young woman as the vehicle whirl
ed past her
It took a trip for each article and a
few more trip.* to eav g >dby. when they
were warned by the operator that he
must start for town or risk being atrand
ad somewhere without motive power
