A 111.1 FF t A1.1.8n. The average man enjoy* seeing n bluff called ami beaten. That I* what has just occurred In certain trust steel manufac turing establishments at Joliet, 111. A week or so ago two big plants, employ ing 1.100 men closed down. The men were Informed that the cause of the trouble was the fear of Bryan's election. In the event of Bryan's election, the managers said, business would go to the door* and there would be no market for the product* of Ihe corporations. It w* plainly the pur pose of the concern* lo Intimidate the men Into voting for McKinley. H was hoped that they could be made to believe that Ihe filling of their dinner pails depended ti|K>n llepubltcan success at the polls. But the shut-down had precisely Ihe op posite effect. The workers could not be fooled. They forthwith began to talk Democratic polities. They t ailed the bluff of the trust. It wo* soon discovered that the sentiment for Bryan wa* dally grow ing stronger, while McKinley supporter* were fast wavering ami capitulating Al thl* juncture representatives of the Re publican campaign managers visited the managers of the steel mills and told them that the suspension of operations must he raised and buxines* resumed, or McKinley would lo*e llllmtl*. And Immediately the fear of Bryan In the mind* of the man ager* disappeared They .announced ihat work would be resumed next Monday, at which time the thousand* of men will re turn to their lunches and forges H may be doubted, however, that the llryan tide among them has been stemmed, The work ingmen, having seen through the subter fuge of closing the works for the purpose of making i~.ldio.il capital for the trust party, are pretty well disgusted. They know that If the trust had been honestly afraid of Ilryan. Il would hardly have tm medhrlcly rescinded its action In closing Ihe mills when It became apparent that Bryan's chances wore Improving. These Illinois concern*, bv the way, are not Ihe only corporal lons that are trying to coerce voters by alleging the fear of loss of market* 111 the event of I ‘emu era tic sucres* From New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and New Knglund there are reports of coKiracis for machinery, sup plies and merchandise that contain a clause declaring lh* m "void In Ihe event of the ctecilon of Bryan.” Republican newspapers and stump speakers are lay ing surh nn amount of sires* ui*>n the making of sufch contracts as to Induce the opinion that Ihcy are intended for cam paign purpose* only: Ihat, like the shut ling down of the Joliet steel concerns, their nprpnse •* primarily to frighten working people with the prospect of closed factories, and -n Induce them to vote Ihe Republican ticket. In November, unless the sign* full, these bluffs will be called at the brfllot-box. Turkey Is displaying a quality of dense ignorance th e, would seem to still qualify her to Is* classed with Chic I Accor t eg lo ihe report of the American charge d'affaires.

It I* of great Import to Hnvnnnah that a board of engineer ofße*r# h a* been or d*red to convene her.* within the next few ! days for the purfxyse of Inquiring Into and making report upon the pcc*J#ot for a twenty-eight-foot hannel from the .■dty to the sea It 1* such a < hannel that Sa vannah wanted *<Mm year* ago. such a channel a* would bav* given her com no fee much In ex ** of that which she has hwl. Hiough with twenty-six fl of depth she has b om the queen of the South At lantic ports. The commerce Savannah ha* more than Just I ties the expenditure n *e*ary to make a twenty-eight foot, and even a thirty-foot, channel to the sea. The tko.ird of engineer* will find before it when It rovene* hen all the data ne- cs sary to n thorough and at the same time n rapid investigation. A complete sur vey of the harbor, road** under the direc tion of ('apt. C\ K, Gillette, who Is a mem ber of the hoard, was recently llnlhed, and tnap|w| and ind* x* l. From this the h'wnl will, no doubt. !e e.mtljr able to arrive at the m<*t f*aslh|e plan for car rying out the propooad Improvement. The cl titans' committee which, a short time ago. took up the matter of deeper water for Ha.vannah, I* In a position to show Just what Savannah's comm* rca and commer cial facilities ire, and that the proposed Improvement Is fully Juottflcdi The com mlttec can show that Havanoah'a Increas ed railroad factllllea have brought a grxit Inc re age of commerce from the new terri tory Into which the#e rail lines have gone a commerce which Is continually de manding for Its transportation abroad v -< R of greater tonnage ami deeper draught. While the hoard nay not have to deal with this feature of the matter. It Is. nevertheless, one which will Justify Its favorable and, perhaps, urgent report U|xm the need for the work The work of this board will he the first step toward securing deeper water for Ba vannah. There Is no doubt that Capt. Gil lette considers the harbor "worthy of im provement," and his statement to that ef f< to tha •i H ptfUMlt, doubtleaa led to the appointment of the hoard. There is every r non to heltevt the hoard, upon Investigation, wilt take the snmo view of • lie matter and that following Its report the department will recommend that Con gress make an appropriation sufficient lo give the added depth dc.-dred.

A sho< king story of blood and marlyr dom Is hehlnd Ihe meagre report, publish ed In yesterday's dispatches, that 171 m S * lona Ties had been killed In China by the Boxers from the beginning of ihe uprising to Sept. 5. This numlier, however, dor* not nearly Include all of Ihe victims of Ih* fury of the fanatic*. From the best data obtainable It apta-ar* that not le * than la.ooo nalivc convert* to Christianity were ■ Iso butchered bcoauwo of their religion* belief. The Boxers were, as a malter of fact, more Incensed against Ihe convert# Ilian ugalnst the missionaries. The former they looked upon ns trai tor* to race, religion and coun try. Their treatment of them, there fore, was merciless. \V horever they were found they w.-re struck down. The blooit of these martyred mlselm aries, many of them women, cries from Ihe ground, not for vengeance a> cordl i* to the terms of the Mosaic law—not for "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”—but for such punishment upon th; ringleaders nf the Boxers, and such safe guards for the future as will guaranbe the safety of their successors In Ihe ml*- rlon field. Meanwhile, the publication of Ihe mim lier of Ihe murdered missionaries sugg-t* Ihe question. What I* to be the file of their convert* who remain In Ihe country" Are they to t>e left to the cruel caprices of the Boxers and Iheir sympathizer-' That Is one of ihe most dlfflqplt phases of til., Chinese sllimlton. It will no doubt lie easy enough for the Chrlrilan Rower* to obtain from the Chinese government. In llie settlement, a promise of prole tloti for Ihe native convert#. But II will b a diffi cult matter to secure a sirtet compliance with any such promise Senator Chauncey Depew has been made n defendant In a queer suit brought by a Chicagoan to compel the payment of money won In a prlxn guessing contest. Advertisement# offering 15tb in premium* for correct guesses of word puzzles were published In u magazine of which. It was claimed. Mr. Depew was the principal stockholder. The plalntll?, ft. < llralirook asserts that he sent In five correct guesses and when he asked for the money, was told there had been l&t* correct n -awers, and that the editor did not know how to divide the money. He then wrote to Mr Depew. but received no reply. The result Is Ihe distinguished New York Re publican leader has a unique lawsuit on hla hands It has been dlscovcrixl by accident that the catfish, the scavenger of Ihe waters, ha* quite a commercial value. In other words the catflh Is put up In cans, la bel* and s.tlmon and sold as such to the un #u*i noting and unwary consumer. Fisher men of Southern lasulslana have been, for some years, doing quite an extensive business catching and shipping the "spoonbill" rat to leading salmcn canning factories In Ihe North, where It Is put up a* stteh after being artificially colored to give It rile appearance of salmon. It would semi that something like the ole marga rine legislation Is needed to protect the public against such a base Imposition. Gov Roosevelt's drclirnl'on that he canno: act on the application of the Texas authorities for rite extradition ot John t>, Rockefeller and other Standard rill magnate.-, wanted for Ihe alleged violation of that stale's anti trust law, Is probably corrret under Ihe New York constitution: and yet he *ll*l not hesitate lo have a prodam.ilbin lsucd In hla name while lie was stump-siwaking In the West.
