Hew High Tariff Work. tm Pennsyi-
vania.

In no other State in the Union arc
the products of its resources so well
protected by high tariff rs in Penn
sylyania, and perhaps in ne other are
the toilers so poorly paid. For the
Information of those of our Republic
can friends who mise their hands in
holy horror Ut the Presidents mes
sage, least if its recommendations be
carried out the dignity of American
labor be lowered to the level of the
'.paupcr" labor of Europe, we produce
the following from the New York
World:
The Worlds correspondent tells us
that Pennsylvania miner, whose case
he investigated, received for 24G hours
work the sum of 500 3S, or about
II 40 cents per hour. THIS for twenty
six working days of nine hours each
would be $27 81. On the other hand,
we learn from the consular reports
that the Scotch coal miner in tho
Glasgow district receives 81 cents per
day of nine hours or 10 TO cents per
nour, nearly as much as the Pennsyi
vania miner, and that in the Dunferm-
line district be receives 81 cents for
seven hours, or IL cents an hour, and
that in the Leith district he receives
81 90 day for eight hours work, or
1924 cents an hour-in the two latter
places more than the Pennsylvania
miner. The reports show, further
more, that the English coal miner in
the Holyhead district receives % shil-
lings per week of forty-eight hours,
that is, leach shilling being "A 1-5
cents) So % cents per week, or in
round numbers, 81 per day, or 1917
cents per hour; that in Yorkshire he
receives As. lid. per day of nine hours,
or in round numbers 81 90, that is,
II 10 cents per hour: that in Noting
ham district the collier (underground)
receives from 96 cents tn 81 81 per
dav--average 81 10. Thus we see
after examining the wages paid in
these Scotch and these English coal
mining districts that the coal miners
in fiTe ont of the six mining districts
in England and Scotland are paid
more than the so.called protected"
miners OF Pennsylvania. Yet the
population per square mile being IN
England and Scotland together 3l4,
and III Pennsylvania 95.2, the compe-
hiion for employment. all other things
considered, must be greater in Eng
land and Scotland than III Pcnnsyl-
vania.

County superintendent OF schools

County superintendent OF Schools
It is generally believed that the
office of County Superintendent oil
Schools was abolished by the last
Legislature, and that as consequence
no sunerintendont would be elected
in White Pine county at the general
election in 1888. This is an error as
will appear from the following
An ACT approved Feb. 23, 1887, pro-
vides that "On and after The trSt Mon
day in January, 1889, the District
Attorneys, in addition to their repee-
tive duties. shall be ex-eliicio super
intendent of Schools within their re-
specfive countless and 1t further
nroyides that "there shall be no
| County Superintendent of Schools
elected in this State except AS provid-
ed in Section one of this Act which
is quoted above.
This appears on page IS, States OF
1887, and in the absence of any fur.
Their legislation on the subject would
etfectually dispose of the question OF
County Superintendent; but on page
So we find that on Feb. 26, 1887, an
ACT was approved which provides that
"On and after the first Monday in
January, 1889, in all counties of this
State, containing voting population
of not less than AGO nor mere than 500,
to be determined by the total vote
cast therein at the general election
next preceding the election at which
the officers herein named shall be re-
ouired to be elected prior to assuming
the duties of their respective offices
the District Attorneys
shall be ex-officio County Superin-
tendents of Schools" Section 4 of
said Act provides that "All Acts in
conflict with or which are repugnant
to the provisions of this Act are here
by repealed
Thus it will be seen that the Act
approved Feb. 26th repeats the Act
approved Feb. 23d, and as White Pine
county does not fall within the limit
of voting population provided in the
first section of the last-named Act, we
will re-elect DR.. Herrick as our County
Superintendent of Schools next No
vember.

Improve the opportunity just here to
say that the Senator pitches into his
Senatorial duties with the energy of a

THE BOOM IN COPPER.
Our Nevada Copper Mines Worth LOol4-
Ing After.
Virginia Enterprise. !


At one time considerable amount
eff copper was produced in this State,
but owing to the low price of the
metal which ruled for some years those
engaged in copper smelling turned
their attention to silver and gold min
ing.
In 1882 the copper yield of Nevada
was 100000 pounds; in 1888 it was
2S8,077; in 1884, 100000; in 1885,
when copper smelling was abandoned,
it was but 1871.
Now however, there seems likely to
be boom in copper, and we shall
probably again become a eopper-pro-
ducing State. Owing TO the shutting
down of the great Calumet Il Hecla
mine, On account of the fire in its low
er levels, copper is likely t. he in very
brisk demand. Already an Eastern
metal firm has announced its readiness
10 take all the copper produced in the
United States and to keep ON taking
il until the price reaches So ton.
We have ln the Walker Like region
some very rich copper mines. Some
of these have been worked, are already
opened in good shape and have fur
naees which are still probably in a
condition t. be fred up with slight
repairs. There are good veins Of cop
per in all parts of the State, but only
few of them have ever been opened
or worked. In places hundreds of
tons of ore lie on the sides of noun
tains where it has tumbled down from
the groupings of veins above, and in
not few veins of native copper is TO
be seen at the surface of the ground
and some 10 feet above the surface.
1t is thought that tho Calumet &
Hecla mine cannot be put in working
order in less time than two or three
years. The tmbers have been so
burned out that already an acre of
ground about the main shaft has caved.
This mine produced two-thirds of the
whole copper yield of the Lake Super
ior region. In London copper has
already advanced $40 a ton on Chill
bars and on the 14th instant closed at
that price. amid great excitement,
with no sellers in the market. The
other day there WAS great excitement
in New York when copper advanced
half cent pound on London adviees.
At Butte, Montana. where much cop
per is produced, there is also great
excitement. All the copper men wear
smiling faces and the same may be
said Of other business men. The adj
vance in copper means boom for
Butte City and several other towns.

election.
In speaking to . Chronicle. Telegraph re.
porter Of the situation, he said: I'VE dc
not consider that we lost ground in Maine.
We held our own there. It must
be remembered that the situation
in that State is peculiar one
with the fishery question, the lumber ar.
gument and the tariff generally az regards
that state being against us, We still have
increased the Democratic vote. There il
no doubt that We will carry New York,
New Jersey, Indians and Connecticut.
The chances are good for Carrying Michi.
gan and Minnesota and there is q fighting
chance for Wisconsin. We will make q
hard struggle to carry that State. We are
much encouraged at the prospect in Hi.

He Denys Hosr's Charges Of lConnection
with the Standard OIL Company.
WASHINGTON, Septemper 12.-ln the
Senate: Mr.. George offered an amendment
to tho trust bill, consisting Of four addi'
tionsl sections, the mosl important being
one making it the duty of the Presidents
when satisfied that the price Of any article
is raised in consequence of agreements OF
combines, to issue his proclamation sus-
pending temporarily, the collection Of i'm
port duties on such articles.
Mr.. Hoar made some very sarcastic and
pointed remarks as to the connection OF
the Csbinet and of the Democratic party
with trusts. Senators Regan and Payne
replied.
Mr.. Rsgsn expressed his regret that a
great question could not be treated in the
Senate without partisan issue being made
out of it. he had not undertaken
to say whether Democratic or Republi-
cans were connected with such trusts, ncr
did he care. His purpose was TO get law
that would punish both Democrats and
Republicans. But he did not intend to
discuss the question of trusts, until the bill
came up for consideration. Mr.. Payne,
remarked that the Standard Oil Company
seemed to trouble all the time the mind
of the Senator from Massachusetts,. That
Company was q very remarkable and won
derful institution. 1t had accomplished
within the last twenty years rs u CONNER
cial enterprise what no other modern Com
pany had done. For himself he had never
had a dollars interest in il, had never
owned a dollar of its stocks, had
never rendered it any service and
and had never received any service from it.
As q matter of fact nine-tenths of the
stockholders of the Standard Oil Co. were
now and always had been Republicans.
There were but two Democrats who had
been stockholders within his knowledge.
He hardly knew how to treat the insinua-
tion that the Standard Oil %. was repre-
sented in the Cabinet. That insinuation
might be worthy of the lower class OF
stumpers, but wssunworthy of Senator.
