AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
Hendricks and Voorhees, Form an Alliance
Against Him.

Against Him.
Washington Special.
One of McDonald's closest friends gives this
version of his conference with the President.
He says it has nothing to do with his taking
Office, although it may naturally lead to that.
1t seems that at the visit paid Cleveland last
week by HAndpialSs and Voorhees, they threat
aned if he did not at once begin to make a
clean sweep that they would combine the Indi-
ana Democracy to condemn his administration.
When the interview closed it was with the un-
derstanding that the administration need expect
no further support from Hendricks and Voorhees,,
for in the most direct terms the President told
them that he should adhere to the promises of
his acceptance and inaugural
Satisfied, however, that these parties intend to
make war upon him to the knife. he proposes to
fight back, and Mcdonald was invited to come here
to accept the admi nistration leadership in Indi-
ana. Mcdonald hates Voorhees,, and despises
Hendricks, for he believes they while pretend
ing to be his friends, humiliated him at Chicago,
and he is willing to give his help to beat them.
Mcdonald is about as popular at home as Hen
bricks, and only through the formers taking
control of the States canvass was it carried in
November
There is feeling out there that he has been
abused, and disposition to champion him
against Hendricks. This makes his opposition
serious. If Cleveland and Mcdonald set out to
antagonize Voorhees, and Hendricks in Indiana.
it will be but the prelude of the contest fast COM
ing on between the administration and the
"Mossbacks," only that in Indiana it will be in
tensiied by reason OF the fact that the Vice pres
ident is there to lead the antiadminstration
wing When questioned whether any such con-
test was in the air. Mcdonald declined to say
anything, but reiterated his belief that Hendricks
had done nothing for his benefit either at the
convention or since, though constantly profess
ing to be his friend. The facts outlined above
are corroborated from another source, and
among the larger politicians here it is believed
that the alienation between Cleveland and Hen
bricks is likely to be openly declared before
great while, in which case Mcdonald is to come
to the front to see that the Indiana Democracy,
in body, does not follow Hendricks into the
anti Cleveland camp of spoilsmen and embttered
Office seekers

amounted to &s5, ,242, 323, Of which the value Of
the exports was a., ,o00, 900, and Of the i'm
ports a., 3,Ooo, 900. The most notable features
of our foreign trade during the last fiscal year,

root in Farmers garden one day
saw blade of Corn peeping out Of the
Ground. and in tones of Ridicule call

Yourself into my Company"
The Blade continued to grow day by

and looked so Thrifty that the Thistle
finally called to the Farmer and said:
Really. but l can't put up with
such impudence, and l hope you will
Remove that Cornstalk at once"
"And who are you?" queried the
Farmer, having for the first time no.

Handsomest Canada Thistle in the

Mining and Scientific Press.
The statement is often made that millions
of dollars have been wasted and lost in useless
work and unproductiye mines on this coast II
Is not lost in the sense that money. Is lost ia 4
shipwreck or fire. 1t simply changes hands
Men with means go into mining speculation
ard employ men who work by the day to do
the work on the claim. They buy machinery.
provisions, tools, and sink shafts, run tunnels,
and do general mining work, which they psy
for. The money goes into the hands Of the
people who make the machin cry, tools, etc. and
those who do lthe mining work. And thxz
work in going on gives employment to many
persons, according to the magnitude Of the
interests involved. So, now, If a mining ven
ture proves q financial failure to those who
have invested the region where the mine II
situated gets the benefit Of the money spent,
Even unlucky mine ventures add to the gen
eral wealth. There are few which do not pro
duce some results in gold or silver, even II the
amount is not sufficient to pay profits, and
every cent taken out adds so much to the
worlds wealth. II people spend $l0O, 600, and
only get out $50, 600, there Is $50, coo more IN
circulation than before that amount was taken
out, and the &l0O 900 is yet in existence, but
in other than the original hands.
This argument may seem specious and
would not be satisfactory to the men who have
put in the monev snd lost 1t; but they have
simply lost 1t. 1t is gone from them and is in
some one else's hands. 1t Is not lost from tbs.
worlds circulation.
But we often hear Of heavy losses in mining
stock, which are merely losses in stocks. Men
pay $40 share for stock and 1t gees down to
81 share. The appreciation or shrinksge of
stock makes and loses many fortunes. But ii
is not o: this form OF thinning" we are speak
ing. 1t is in legitimate mining work where
money is paid men to develop property in hope
that returns may be made on the investment
from the product of the mine itself. OF course
a great deal of money is expended on unpro-
ductiye properties, Yet, on the whole, there
try at large, very heavy profits have been m ide
on the investments.

The Mining Superintendent not Martyr

writer in the Engineering and -Nf,aiag jour-
nal replies to "H. F." the Georgetown CORES
pordent Of that paper as follows:
1t is entirely wrong to make the readers oI
your valuable paper believe that the position
OF mining superintendent somewhat reseu-
bles that of martyr. As a rule, the man ger
has pretty much his own way. In case he Is
much interferred with by red-tape officers, Il
is his own fault. Before a superiuten den
takes his position, he ought to fnd out with
how much working capital he is backed, ansA
how much power is given to him while actin
as agent for company. II the conditions Do
not suit him. no one will force him to scceps
terms disagreeahle to him or detrimental to,
the interests of the property he is going to
manage. Often a dead-broke mining engineer
Of doubtful practical knowledge offers his ser,
vices to a company, promising that he Is jus :
the right and only man TO make mine pay
that has probably been lying idle or has BEEN
worked unprottably for a certain number OF
years. or course, he will claim that his presie-
cessor did not understand his business; hHr
that under the new management, divide ness
will pour In on the lucky stockholders. Whers
such an adveuturer of the profession is tfon-
hled much by disappointed stockholders, IL.
only serves him right. 1t Is singular that ths-
worst mismanagers OF mining property always
cry the loudest, mining ought TO be mana eft
like any other legitimate business" For thar
reason, we need business men for managers. "A
man who can not manage his own affairs Is ur-
ht to be miuiLg superintendent. Let us have
business men blessed with horse-sense ar,f
practical experience and good theoreticaE
knowledge, then the affairs of mining CON-
panies will become more successful and profit
able; but beware of mcn-amorg them, min
