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medhrlcly rescinded its action In closing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

what progressive, ba* put an embargo
upon the Importation of electrical ap
paratus, a quantity of It sent from
America having been seized and refused

Mr Orisoom that to* allowed them to
enter, but the embargo Is still maintained

Ignorant superstitions, It would seem to
be about time for her to Im- catching up

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

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

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. Savannah
should have a twenty-rigtu-foot, and, If
po-stble. a thirty-foot channel Just as
soon os th preliminaries can t>e arranged

MISSIONARY M \RTN It*.
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

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

a Chicagoan to compel the payment of

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

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

#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

public against such a base Imposition.

corrret under Ihe New York constitution:

The repartee led to th. attempted "string

Barrymore, it will be remem bare*), had
written a play called "Itoirtng Dkk

This other artor had a prominent part In

Barrymore hid replied to some of this

when the now stiff, ring one said:
"Oh. I know you don't like m<-, Ilerby:
but you should. Indeed, >ou ought to

"Why. obi man?" inked Barrvmore.
"Because of the debt of gratitude you

B irrymon wept some stage tesre snd

When we "elevate the stage" let'* try

The out-of-wit comedian who drugs In pol

We'll 'long Ihe rag-time singers, nnd we'll

And fearfully dismember songs, with no
regard for notes,
Who seek to show tt~ scene* In what they
eal "so-d-e-tay,"
Where flip-fl ips turned among the chairs
must serve for repartee—
Let's get them all upon the stage some
dark and lonely night
And • leva*'- the whole array with lots of
dynamite.
The villain, also, who observes, "Aha, I'll
win yeh yet!"
And with remorseless savagery puffs at
his cigarette;
Likewise the lady who observes: "The

And so I'll practice thla new song I got
down town to-day."
Let's < lovnle them something like ten
mile* before we stop.
And n.ill them there so we may not he

Then, there'# the monologlrt, who unloada

And gay snubrette, who hold their youth
unlike most other ftMks.
Ann ingenues, who I'sp their lines, with
I- g-eyed innocence.
And heroes who must smooth their hair
lie fore they ran commence—
Let's elevate them forcibly, clear to Ihs

And then, perhaps, the netor-folka will
give use something new.
