I have an abid ing faith In the tribunal which has In hand the settlement of our trouble. It was not so much the strike of the min ers against the owners , as it was the strike of the railroad presidents against the American people. Organ ized labor stands for moie and higher wages. It would take the breaker boy out of the mines and put him in school , I found little boys and girls whc should have been playing in school yards bearing the heaviest responsi bilities in the mines. Labor is not always right. It has done many fool ish things. It has been Its own worst enemy. I am not one of those who / consider It wise or just to denounce v'v capital. Not one of us Is poor from choice , labor must do Its share to ele vate Its individual members. 1 shall be glad if out of the anthracite strike will come new relations between labor nnd capital. Then will our country be prepared to enter upon Its new and greater life. " LABOR WAR AT LOWELL. Boot and Shoe Workers' Union Fights Knights of Labor. Lynn , Mass. , Jan. 20.

Supreme Court Holds Six Months' Res Idencc Docs Not ChangeCltlzenshlp , Washington. Jan. 20. The supreme court yesterday passed upon the valid Ity of divorces granted In South DH kota to nonresidents. The case was that of Annie Andrews vs. Kate An drews and the question at Issue was as to which was entitled to administer the estate of Charles Andrews , wh&m both women claimed as husband. Kate Andrews was the first wife Her husband secured a divorce in South Dakota after remaining there six months , the time required by the statute of that state. The Massachu setts courts held that the decree had been fraudulently secured and refused to recognize It , and yesterday's opin ion , which was delivered by Justice White , affirmed that holding. In passing upon the case Justice White discussed at some length the question whether the federal constitu tion is involved in anyway in the case. He hold that this could not be , control over marriages always having been vested in the states and never parted with by them. Hence there is no pow er that congress could exercise to reg ulate or prohibit divorces and It must follow that unless the several states were permitted to control the subject of divorce among their own citizens the subject would be entirely uncon- troled , in which case the absolute de struction of society must bo the ro- Bult. As Mr. Andrews had been a citi zen of Massachusetts , the courts of that state had jurisdiction and not the courts of another state. It was evi dent , he went on , that Andrews' six months residence In South Dakota had been taken up for the sole purpose of securing a divorce. That temporary change of residence did not amount to domicile nor to a change of citl- censhlp. For this reason ho held that the South Dakota court was without jurisdiction In the divorce proceed ings and Its decree wholly void. Attacks Consular Service. Washington , Jan. 20.
