SCRANTON, SEPTEMBER 20. 1900. THE STRIKE SITUATION. The third day of the miners' strike has passed without incident and with out change. Thursday morning finds the situation practically the same as it was on Monday.

There have been some few little ripples of excitement to disturb the otherwise calm exterior of the coal mining community, but these have been of minor importance. While they have been gladly picked up by the ubiquitous newspaper re porter and turned into sensational in cidents they were of such a nature that they are forgotten In a day and have no bearing on the dispute or influence on the result. At most they only furnish food for comment to a public that has little else to do, but to read and talk. Some of the men who did not obey the order to strike on the first day have since been per suaded to lay down their tools and join the great army of the unemploy ed. These have not been many, but on the other hand there have been no accessions to the ranks of the working miners.

Whatever advantage has been gained in this respect, slight though it may be, is on the side of the men. There has practically been no violence on the part of the strikers. Isolated cases are reported of workmen or buildings having been stoned, but in almost every instance it has been the work of Irresponsible boys. Whenever it haa been reported to headquarters of the miners' organization immediate steps have been taken to abate it. Generally speaking perfect order has been maintained.

It has not been necessary to employ a single deputy, and weapons of offence or defence have been conspicuous by their absence. There has been no sign of weakening on the part of the men, and there is no indication that the operators contemplate making any concessions. Thus the last half of the first week comes in with the two forces facing each other in defiance, and the community settling down to the inconveniences of a long siege, though still maintaining a faint hope that something will happen to bring about a settlement on a saner basis than that of a finish fight. PUBLICITY AND THE TRUSTS. Colonel Roosevelt dispenses with rhetoric in his letter of acceptance and deals with the issues in a plain business like way that commends itself to the Intelligent voter.

His treatment of the trust question is devoid of any stage play or demagogic appeals to the galleries. He is eminently practical. The statement in which he points out that publicity is the first thing to be sought, is in line with his previous position upon the subject, and suggests the remedy for the trust evils about which we hear so much. It is of the utmost importance, in any discussion, that the disputants shall understand the terms used to mean the same things, and it is no less important, In legislating against any supposed evil, that the nature and extent of that evil shall be determined to the satisfaction of all parties interested. The courts of the United States have already settled upon three or four principles, The restraint of trade must be an express and unreasonable restraint; freedom of contract Is an inviolable property right under the Constitution; states may refuse admission to foreign corporations, but must stop at the line of Interstate commerce; and Interstate commerce cannot be taxed.

On the other hand, the police power of the state, while limited in matters of interstate commerce, is well nigh supreme, and it is this which has been invoked with some success in several of the etates. In New York, however, legislation has been directed toward the fundamental proposition. Governor Roosevelt has insisted, in his public messages, that the first thing necessary was to define a trust so that there should be no unlawful or unreasonable interference with the commercial operations of any corporation acting properly within the scope of Its charier. That there are real abuses of corporate privileges he has not for one moment doubted, but to prevent abortive and useless legislation la no less Important to the public welfare than to pass measures which will deprive them of their unusual advantages over competitors. In the statute of New York passed in the attorney general is empowered to summon witnesses In preliminary proceedings, culling upon them to produce books, documents or papers In their posscs aion or under their control relating to the subject under examination.

The amendments to this act passed In 1S99, while remedying defects in the statute, go even further In bringing to light the operation of thpse Industrial combines. The efficacy of the publicity remedy for the evils of the trusts is shown by the workings of the legislation against railroad combination. The moment a "secret agreement" was brought to light, it lost its value, and became inoperative. The existence of rebates to shippers in restriction of natural and healthy competition, ceased as soon as they became known to other railroad companies and to the public. So, soon as their methods became public, would some of the trusts be shorn of thetr power.

General information relating to capitalization, profits and operation would in most cases point out the remedy to be applied. Until the public has data upon which to work, the agitation against trusts must be empirical and in many cases guided by prejudice. When people know what they are talking about, they begin to get down to a practical basis. The simple and practical declaration of Governor Roosevelt on the trust question is of more value than volumes of the rhetorical ambiguities and high sounding phrases. It has moreover the merit of sincerity and In this it differs radically from the fulminations of certain pretended enemies of the trusts who are extensive owners of the stock of one of the most infamous monopolies that exist in the land.

A PHRASE ILLUMINATED, A friend writes us to call our attention to what he designates "A practical instance of the fear of Bryan ism." He quotes as a text a passage from Mr. Bryan's letter of acceptance. It is: The platform reiterates the demand contained in the Chicago platform for an American financial system made by the American people for themselves. The purpose of such a system is to restore and maintain a bimetallic level of prices, and in order that there may be no uncertainty as to the method of restoring bimetallism, the specific declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage at the existing ratio of sixteen to one, independent of the action of other nations, is repeated. Our correspondent tells of a Scran ton attorney who made an application for a loan of $2,000 on a property conservatively appraised at $3,800.

He quotes from the reply received: We would not care to loan over $1,500 on the property, also would put a gold clause in the mortgage. You had better get money elsewhere, as we fear Bryan will be elected and all values upset. Our correspondent truly remarks: Here is a practical instance of the actual effect of Mr. Bryan's dream of "a bimetallic level of prices." The fear that he may soon be In position to put his pet scheme into execution creates an immediate disparity between gold and silver for future payments. The extract from the attorney's letter is of great significance.

If the mere appearance of the cloud upon the horizon have that effect, what will result when the tornado strikes, We have wondered what Mr. Bryan meant by a "bimetallic level of prices." Our friend from whose letter we have made quotations illuminates the phrase. The "bimetallic level of prices" is something that comes a great deal nearer home than any vague theories of "imperialism" or "militarism." ALABAMA AND KEHSARGE. The North, and the South met on Tuesday at the dedication of the tablets presented to the new battleships Kearsarge and Alabama. It was a memorable occasion.

Among the speakers was Governor James H. Johnston of Alabama. His words are worthy of perpetuation and should be printed in every, school history and taught to every child with the story of the great naval duel which ended the destruction of the famous Confederate cruiser. Governor Johnston said: "We have come here from the sunny skies and fragrant plains of Alabama, more than a thousand miles, traversing ten states of the Union, upon the gracious invitation of this Commonwealth, to take part In these patriotic exercises. 'For the first time in thirty five years we are invited not to forget the glorious achievements of our fathers and brethren in the war between the states, but it is now insisted that they shall ever be remembered and cherished as the common heritage of the American people and for the Inspiration of our children and the glory of a great and united and free Republic.

"We have met here, in the beautiful language chosen by your state, "to perpetuate in enduring peace names once more associated in historic combat." The commander of one of these ships was born in my native state and the ashes of the other repose In the bosom of my adopted state. When Semmes 'passed over the river to rest in the shade' he carried in his heart no resentment toward the gallant Winslow. His daughter, in whose gentle veins courses the heroic blood of her father, is here to signalize by her presenre the tenderness of the ties that are now uniting in enduring friendship two mighty battleships and two great com monwealths. "Upon that fateful Sunday morning in June, IbVA, when the Alabama sailed out of the harbor of Cherbourg to meet the Kearsarge, each commander knew that he had a foeman worthy of his steel, for they had been friends and comrades in the past. Each knew that they were to lock arms in the embrace of death.

When the battle ceased the Alabama found her grave in the sea. There she has slumbered until this resurrection morn, when she reap pears once more, the consort instead of the enemy of the Kearsarge, to fight under the same flag and against all enemies of the Republic. "If war shall come again, as doubt less It will continue to come so long as human selfishness and greed shall prevail over Christian charity and toler ance, and so long as the ambition of man, the lust of power and conquest and dominion shall be stronger than the love of justice and liberty and equality, and If the Kenrsarge, In deadly and unequal combat, shall search the horizon for coming help. I know that this tablet and its inspiring inscription will lve swift wings to the Alabama to SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1900.

hasten to the rescue and turn her flaming guns upon the common enemy." It is such words as these and such occasions as the one upon which they were spoken that prove the reality of the reconciliation between the states so recently belligerent. Notwithstanding the occasional utterances of a few ir reconcilables on both sides the people of the North and the South are truly one, devoted to the welfare of one coun try under one flag. History cannot be unwrltetn. We cannot blot out the record of the Civil war, but when we teach it to our children we can also teach them that the animosities of that dreadful time are now forgotten. It now appears as if the allies would have as much trouble getting out of Pekln as they did getting in.

A bale of cotton has doubled in price since this time last year. But the cot ton states will continue to vote against the financial and industrial policy that did it. New York is rather slow In raising money for monuments and arches but when it comes to charity the metropolis gets there about as quickly as any of them. The dispatches say that the English operations in the Transvaal were delayed by fogs. The commander evi dently did not know his business or he would have sent the.

London regiments to the front. Those gentlemen who are endeavor ing to induce Cleveland to endorse Bryan forget that Ben Tillman is slated for a place in the Bryan cabi net, and Tillman once threatened to throw Cleveland out of the White House with his pitchfork. One of the largest percentages of gain reported in the population of any city is that of Superior, Wisconsin. The city gained one hundred and fifty nine per cent, since 1890, which seems to entitle it to wear its name for ten years more. PFftPIFAIMn PCrt lFfTS The first day of Tishrl, 5601, will fall this year on Monday, September 24.

This is the Jewish New Year, and beginning at sunset of the preceding evening, ushers in the series of fall holy days known as the high holy days in the Jewish calendar. For some time preceding the New Year, or Rosh Hashana, the synagogues and smaller places of worship are renovated and put in good order for the approaching year. Ministers are secured for such pulpits as have been without a spiri tual director, if only to cover the period of the holy days, from the New Year to the Feast of Tabernacles, Tishri, 15 (October .) The intervening holy day is the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, which occurs ten days after the New Year. Rosh Hashana is observed with special services of an impressive character. In most synagogues the services are opened with the blowing of the Shofar, or Ram's Horn, in accordance with the time honored custom.

There are special musical features in the re formed synagogues, and appropriate sermons are delivered from the pulpits. Yom Kippur, which follows the New Year, is the most solemn and Important holy day in the Jewish calendar. It is the Day of Atonement, and is observed by Jews throughout the world as the great feast day. In most pulpits appeals for the support of charities are made on this day, and large sums are annually collected for the poor in this way. D.

W. Dox of Dresden, N. repre senting a New York syndicate, has been at Elmhurst prospecting for pure water, and has located a site for a plant on the Schoonmaker plot. It is the object of the company to bottle the water and ship it to wealthy families in the city for use in their homes. At an early autumn sunset picnic, one of the party scored a great success by a dish with which he regaled the company at the supper served on the hillside.

After a bed of coals had been produced from a brushwood fire they were covered with laurel leaves, and on a wire broiler, small domestic sausages were cooked over this laurel flavored heat. Served with mock sandwiches of thin brown bread and butter and delicious hot coffee, they were the most toothsome and appetizing of morsels, and prompted a demand that swamped even the generous supply provided. A circular has just been Issued by the State Game commission setting forth the purpose of the commission to enforce the game laws. Special stress is laid upon the law of 1807 prohibiting the purchase or sale of deer, wild turkey, pheasants, quail and woodcock, within the state, and forbidding the shipment of all game out of the state. Attention is also called to the Lacey bill, which received the almost unanimous support of Congress and the approval of President McKinley last May, This act prescribes the manner in which game of all kinds shall be packed and shipped from one state to another, Imposing heavy penalties for failure to comply with its requirements.

Common carriers are directed to see to it that they do not violate the laws of any state by carrying game out of the state contrary to its laws. Since the enactment of the game law of 1807 the courts of several states have decided that the Legislature of a state could pass a law forbidding the sale of any or all game within that state whether the game came from outside the state or not, and that the act would not interfere with the interstate commerce act. It has also been decided that game is not the subject of Interstate commerce. In the language of the streets, "the bells have rung for straw hats," and those who persist In donning the comfortable tile violate the haberdashers' dictum that "no well dressed gentleman will appear in a straw hat after the close of summer." While the vast majority of people may not refer to the hatter's or tailor's book of styles every morning before dressing to learn whether the stripes on the shirt bosom should run up and down or horizontally, and several other things equally important, including the time limit for straw hats, the weather since September 15, the close of summer, has been such that conformity to the rule of hats Is wise now that the fall breezes begin to blow.

In an article In a current periodical, Dr. Relk discusses the huninn eye and how to care for It. He urges suitable care in the arrangement of light for reading and studying both in school rooms and In houses, and points out the future eye ills bestowed upon helpless children through the ignorance of their guardians from infancy and on through childhood. Babies wearing shadeless caps and riding in perambulators without parasols, or with those of dazzling white, the sun blazing Into their shrinking eyes, are a dally sight in the streets. School children are subjected constantly to a worse eye strain.

Light should come upon work or book over the left shoulder, artlflcal light preferably from a little above and at the left. Incandescent light is the best of the artificial lights.

A teacher in a famous Eastern college for women has prepared for the benefit of her students the following list of words, phrases and expressions to be avoided." Set a watch on your lips, and if you are accustomed to making these "slips" try to substitute the correct expressions.

But don't be content with that alone. Learn why the preferred expression is correct, and this of itself will so fix it in mind that you will soon use it unconsciously: "Guess" for "suppose" or "think." "Fix" for "arrange" or "prepare." "Ride" and "drive" interchangeably. "Real" as an adverb in expressions such as "real" good for "really" good. "Some" or "any" in an adverbial sense; for example have studied some" for "somewhat;" "I have not studied any" for "at all." "Some" ten days for "about" ten days. Not "as" I know for "that" I know.

Singular subjects with contracted plural verb; for example, "she don't skate well" for "she doesn't skate well." "Try" an experiment for "make" an experiment. "Expect" for "suspect." "First rate" as an adverb. "Right away" for "immediately." "Party" for "person." "Promise" for "assure." "Posted" for "informed." "Depot" for "station." Try "and" for try "to" go. Try "and" for try "to" do. "Funny" for "odd" or "unusual." "Above" for "foregoing;" "more than" for "beyond." Does it look "good" enough for ''well" enough.

Feel "badly" for feel "bad." Feel "good" for feel "well." "Between" seven or "among" seven. Seldom "or" ever for seldom "if" ever or "seldom or never." Taste and smell "of" when used transitively. More than you think "for" for "more than you think" "These" kind for "this" kind, "Nicely" in response to an inquiry. "Healthy" for "wholesome." Just "as soon" for Just "as lief." Bis; Trees In Danger of Delug Logged. Lumbermen are cutting down the big trees of California.

The finest of all, the Calaveras grove, which has the biggest trees, came into possession of a lumberman last April. Some of these trees are from 4,000 to 5,000 years old: older than the pyramids and most of the temples in Egypt. Congress enn save these groves by making national parks of them, and and effort will be made to have it done next winter. But it will have to be done quickly if it is to succeed. It comes near being sacrilege to put these venerable monsters through lumber mills.

Philadelphia Bulletin. Pessimists in the Days of Jefferson. Harpers' Weekly. The wails about young men being crowded out or opportunity being denied them were just as prevalent in the days of their fathers and their grandfathers. Such lamentations against the federalists and the "aristocrats" were common In the times of Jefferson.

It was the popular complaint, for example, that men like Robert Morris were enriching themselves at the expense of the poor, that youth no longer had a chance to compete with the favored few, that the way to adu catlon was open only to the opulent.

a Kijsw Am r. "VL I THE HOUSEHOLD COLUMN PICKLES AND CATSUPS. By Martha Taft Wentworth. What an endless subject one seems to strike when trying to say something on winter relishes, and the housewife will think "what a lot of bother and work it means to me." True, very true, but how well reoaid that same housewife (or mother) will feel this winter when the garden lies under mo snow that she has only to step down cellar to bring up a plateful of spicy pickles or a bottle of tasty catsup. Then she will have forgotten the worn, and will wonder how she could ever have thought It even a bother when she realizes what a pleasure tney uie to the entire household.

Not of the city folk do I speak, for thev are more fortunate in the posses slon of the great market facilities, from which at almost a moment's no tice thev can supply their homes dur ing the entire winter with greens, radishes, celery and a hundred and one things that to the country woman are strangers. So to that country sister I say: Have you ever tried pickling green peppers? If not, do try some. Xou are not limited as to quantity: just take what you think von would like to DUt up I use one third i een tomatoes to two thirds peppers, as the tomatoes are quite as good when pickled. Wash, drain, cut out the stem end srjlit in two. and pack closely in a jar.

but don't fill too full as there must be at least one Inch of vinegar over the top, it depends upon the size of the jar (I use one gallon jars). When the jar is packed, put a saucer, or small Dlate over them to hold tnem aown and fill the 1ar with good strong cider vinegar (cold), and they will.be ready to eat in about four weeks. Care should be taken to dig out the seeds or pips before sending to the table, as they are a bit too hot to De comfortable to the ordinary palate. Thev are not much bother to make, and. if made.

1 know they will be liked. I also make a pepper relish that, hile good, hus the added merit of keeping well, and in it can be used large cu cumbers that are too large for pickling, or for the table: if the large cucumbers are used, pare and quarters them and cut out the seeds, as they are too large to be left in the relish. If small cu cumbers, all that is needed is to pare them. Whatever quantity you make divide into fifths, one fifth each of cucumDers, creeii nenners. caulitiower, green toma tops nnd onions, and in addition to the fifth part of peppers add three ripe ones that is my rule for a gallon as the red ones add little flecks of red throna bont all the green.

Chop all quite fine, mix thoroughly, and stir In a teacupful of salt to a en linn of the mixture. Let stand over nio ht. nnri in the morning drain, and when thoroughly drained fill wide mouthed bottles three quarters full of the chopped mixture, and fill full witn white wine vinegar (cold). Cork tight and set away. This takes longer to ripen and fit for the table, but It re pays one by keeping so Deauuiuny.

have kept it far into the second winter and it was as good as when first ready to eat. TOMATO CATSUP. Cut one peck of ripe tomatoes in halves, boll them in a porcelain sauce until tvio nnin is all dissolved, then thom well throueh a hair sieve, and set the liquor on to boil again, adding one ounce of salt, one ouin. of mace, one tablespoontui oi mam nno tpasnoonful of red pepper, one tablespoonful of gound cloves, five of ground mustard, let tnem an together five or six hours, stirring most of the time. Let the mixture stand eight or ten hours in a cool place, then add one pint of vinegar and bottle, sealing the corks and keeping in a cool, dark place.

Copyright, 1000. OUR LACK OF SHIPS Although there are strong Indications that America may some day be a considerable factor in providing Europe with coal, there cannot be said to be any very active boom in sight in that quarter at present. Inquires are constant, but few orders are "landed." This shows the tendency but not the established current. The great obstacle now in the way of American export trade in coal is tho ever recurring one of lack of ships and the consequent high freight rates to the other side. If ever an object lesson were furnished in the most vivid colors of the degree to which American commercial expansion is repressed by her weak and almost insignificant ocean crossing merchant marine, one is being furnished now by the situation above alluded to.

It is true we are making great progress In the way of an expanding foreign trade even under present adverse circumstances; and there is no doubt that the adoption by Congress of any measure to relieve American enterprise of this great handicap in freighting facilities its almost total subjection to the convenience and leisure of foreign ships in the forwarding of American merchandise will be opposed by the most vigorous foreign lobby that was ever gathered at the doors of the capltol. There Is a great deal of uneasiness both in Great Britain and Germany as Jo the possibility of American ships being found as frequently on the sea in foreign parts as American goods now are on the Iund.

Coal Ex A )01m MONEY LOANED SALARIED PEOPLE AND RETAIL MERCHANTS upon their own names without security: easy payments. Tolman, 508 Connell building, sidy measure for the development of an American merchant marine would be viewed in England with almost the same sentiment as a declaration of war. For it is very largely to her freight receipts from other nations that Great Britain compelled to look to offset the $800,000,000 balance of trade in merchandise which she usu ally finds against her at the end of each year's business. There appeared in a New York newspaper recently an appeal to the fact that imports In Great Britain exceed exports as an evidence that a country can flourish even as Great Britain now flourishes with the balance of trade eternally and overwhelmingly against her. But that newspaper was careful to make no mention of the fact that Great Britain's exports of her seamen's la bor, as evidenced by her annual bill of something like $500,000,000 against the rest of the world for doing so large an amount of its carrying business, neutralized that amount of the bal ance against her in the exchange of pure merchandise; and that her return in the form of interest on foreign bonds and stocks held by her citizens domiciled within her borders took care of the balance of the bill for merchan dise against her, and possibly a little more.

But British merchants and statesmen jJo not conceal these facts from themselves, even if some of our newspapers seek to conceal them from the American public. Ana tnat is tne rea son why every possible avenue of In fluence will be called into use by Great Britain to prevent Americans carry Ing their own foreign freights, and perhaps also appearing as a rival of Great Britain in carrying the freights of other nations. What would become of her if she should lose even a portion of her carrying trade to America, and In addition should Bee New York established as the world's permanent money loaning center?
