SAK FRAkcIsco, Dec. 29.-Ths Post an
nouncss, by authority, in its stock article
to-day. that, at the report of the meeting of
the presidents of the Comstook Mining
company, under control of the Bonanza
firm, measures for the alienation of the
situation were discussed, and are likely to
be speedily acted upon. A plan to reduce
the expenses at the mines without curtail-
ing important exploratory work was under
consideration. If it is carried
out the assessments in the
future will be smaller and levied at less
frequent intervals. The assessments have
been very heavy the last two years, owing
to the expensive work to be done before
the new levels could be reached, drained
and ventilated. Having now gained access
to ground which it will take fully a year
and half to explore with drifts and cross
cuts. the expense cah be made much
lighter. Senator Fair has personally taken
the matter in hand, and we are assured
that more economical work will be made
at once.

Wages of Iron Work RS.

P1rrsBURG, Pa, Dec. 29-President Jar
rett, of the Amalgamated association of
iron and steel wo rkers, denies the report
telegraphed from St. Louis this afternoon
that the workmen at South st. Louis steel
works had agreed to accept a reduction of
33 per cent. He characterizes the action
of the Vulcan Steel company as unfair
and unjust in proposing such reduction
at this late day. The Western steel manu-
facturers as body proposed reduction
of 20 per cent, which the men have gener-
ally agreed to acept,the only point of diff
ference now pending being the question of
how long the reduction shall be in force,
the men proposing May 1, and the manu-
facturers desiring to have it continue one
year. He is of opinion the men will strike
rather than accept SO per cent. reduction.

ana used without stint. Influenced
by what he saw in that famed
prohibition state, he felt like giving up
his position as prohibitionist.
1t is not necessary for the GLOBE to here
enlarge, for the letter of Governor-elect
Clicks sufficient and crushing answer to
the theories and statements of MI. Morgan.
Gov. Click learns from personal knowledge
the truth of what he afirms in regard to
his own state.
Prohibition seems to have delivered both
Maine aud Kansas over to the unlimited
use of intoxicating liquors and drunken
ness.
In Nebraska and Michigan, where license
laws exist, the quantity of intoxicating
liquor used has been diminished, the num-
Der of saloons decreased, and the character
of those that remain improved.
/ Facts speak louder than theories, and it is
fact, which cannot be successfully dis
puted, that "prohibition does not prohi-
Bit" but where prohibitory laws exist, the
consumption of liquors and the voiume of
drunkards are increased, and where judi
ciQus license system prevails, both are de-
creased,
The evil cannot be eradicated by legal
enactments. 1t can only be controlled and
regulated, and its dire effects diminished
by ;udicious license system.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The Ia.ey Ocean, in a
double-leaded editorial denying the re-
ported changes in its management, will
say tomorrow:
For several weeks foolish, if not mali
cious reports have been freely circulated,
asserting that the control of the Inter
Ocean, had passed into hands hostile to the
present management, and that sweeping
changes we're soon to be made in the per-
sonnet of the establishment. The untruth
of this is so we'll known to those most in
terested that no attention has been given
to the matter in these columns. The
stories. however, having gained currency
are being republished by the press of the
country with such exaggerations that it now
seems necessary once for all to give them
genel al and emphatic denial. There has
been no time since Mr.. Nixon became the
general manager of the Inter Ocean, which
was seven years ago last October, that he
has not been fully sustained by ma ority
of the stock, and at no time has he been
more emphatlcally and firmly sustained
than at present. There is no desire to
conceal the fact that within the last eight
cen months determined efforts have been
made by several persons to purchase a
controlling interest in the stock of the
company. All these efforts, however, have
failed. The stockholders Of the paper are
to be congratulated on the increased
value of their shares and the .eSse with
which they can be turned into money. The
growing prosperity Of the Inter OceGa is
apparent to all its patrons. Its increasing
business and influence make entsrprisin2
men who comprehend the value of great
newspaper in the future OF Chicago eager
to secure its control. The year Just clos
Ing has been most prosperous, and gives
better promise for the future than any
former year of its existence. and friends of
the paper everywhere may rest assured
that it is one of the established. pres per
Gus institutions of the country, and that il
remains firmly under the control Of the
old management which has made it what
it is.''
