SommtssiOner Feck.
The national democratic committee on Satur-
day notified Charles F. Peck, labor commits
sioner Of the state Of New York. that the trans
cript already furnished from his tables to be
used in his forthcoming report had given the
committee all the information ofany value in re-
gard to the statistical method employed by him
and the manner in which they have been used.
The letter added that information deemed es-
sential by the committee in respect to the
names Of persons making the returns being still
withheld from the public, the committee does
not see that any further light will be thrown
upon the subject by further transcripts. The
committee asked for bill Of the charges for
the transcripts already furnished.
Mr.. Peck replied in letter, in which he said:
The phraseology of your letter would seem
to carry the impression that the methods en-
ployed were other than regular and inconsist-
ent with those pursued by other statistical
bureaus OF this county, and cannot there

"I locking the door after

Locking the door after the
horse is stolen" is a common failing
Of mankind, and 1t is done, We be-
lieye, oftener in mining than in
any other occupation. Men fail in
mining enterprises where failure is
wholly unnecessary and due. to causes
which could easily have been de.
termined in advance. They put up
mills to work ore where there is
not enough ore to supply a mill, or
they find after the mill Is erected
the ore is not as reported, or the
mill is not adapted to the ore.
They buy mines on the reports of
value of the ore and the quantity
in sight, and find when they have
paid their money that the estimates
were too high. Nine-tenths of
the mining failures, and fair pro.
portion Of the milling failures, are
due to mistakes in estimating ore
values and quantities. 1t seems
impossible for the prospector, and
almost impossible for the average
miner to sample ore in mine and
have a correct sample. And it is
a difficult thing for the expert to
do. At best 1t Is a long, particular
and slow job to do it we'll. The

The largest pumping plant in
the world is soon to be put n..posl.
tion at the Spring Garden Water
Works, on the Schuylkill river. II
will throw 20,0O0,000 gallons daily,
equal to 1850 cubic feet per minute,
or constant flow of 1l50 miners
inches. 1t is estimated that the
first cost OF the pumping plant Is
not anywhere near the equal to the
cost of fumes and bitches which
carry no larger quantities of water
which are often constructed for
mining purposes, and that if water
power is available for running the
pump, IT would be found that
pumps would be more economical
than fumes for placer mining pur.
poses. 1t hardly seems probable
that such conditions can exist, but
they may be possible. Opinions
upon the subject from good me-
chanical engineers would be inter
esting, at least.

AN OPINION.
Las Vegas Stocksrower

! Las Vegas Stockgrower
Col. Lockhart, OF Dem,ng, New
Mssico, talks most Interestingly
respeSxng the cattle industry in
mis- sects~. He said a gradual
transition N2m the old range
methods was gang on and that
stockmen could now see brighter
day dawning because of this change
in the method. New Mexico
should be exclusively a breeding
ground" he said; "for this purpose
there is no country on the globe
that can excel this territory. A
larger percentage Of calves can be
got here than anywhere. but as
soon as they are weaned the steer
calves should be hurried of to the
northern state pastures. there to be
matured for the market. New
Mexico stockmen should never keep
a steer calf over a year, and the
COWS should be spayed and sent
north also just as soon rs they are
out of form as producers. This
is the key note Of success; it Is this
new policy which has mang sdvan-
tages over all range methods.
Another change is notable and
that is that owners OF small herds
are selling out and quitting the
business, going to digging bitches.
raising fruits, alfalfa and grain,
and thus the larger herd owners
will have less competition in the
future and be able to adopt the
new policy st a profit to them
while those gong out OF the bust
ness will take up farmias that
must prove of very great good to
the country generally"

The Free Speech, negro organ,
published weekly at Memphis.
Tenn, of which j. l.. Fleming. a
negro, is editor, in it's issue recent
ly contained the fJiiowing:
Nobody in this section of the
country believes the old ahrcadbars

are not careful they will overreacL
themselves, and public sentiment
will have a, reaction, and concfus-
ion will be reached which will lbs
very dam ,ging 10 the moral repu-

wh,rlwind Of Indignation and may
lead to serious results. II is re-
ported that Fleming has fed the

next most common mistake is in
estimating the quantity Of ore in
+, sight. Ninety.nine men out OF
every hundred draw upon their
hopes instead Of looking coolly at
plain facts IN making these esti-
mates, and three out Of four blun-
der and pay dearly for their blum
der. The common errors made in
this way, repeated over and over
again, year after year, should teach
men caution, put it don't. The
reason Is interesting, if one takes
pleasure in studying causes.
Speaking the other day to sue
cessful and COOL headed banker
about this common cause OF failure,
he smllingly replied, al have motto
ed that it takes more brains TO keep
money than it does to make 1t.
Men blunder in everything oftenest
by not learning first what they

The labor troubles in the mines
of the Occur d'Alene country In
Idaho are growing more and more
serious. The Miners Union does
not demand an eight-hour day.
The issue is over only one point,
and that is whether trsmmers, top
men and unskilled laborers shall
receive the $3.50 per day which is
peid skilled miners. One year ago
the Miners Union demanded that
such wages should be paid this
labor, and the mine owners acceded
to the demands. Since then the
mine owners have formed an as
sociation, and they are now resist
ing these demands. The mine
owners pay $3.50 per day to miners
and $4.W per day to those engaged
in sinking wet shafts, and $3.50
per day to trammers who work in
wet ground where it is necessary to
wear gum boots and rubber or oil
cloth coats, and they do not ask
that these wages be reduced. Nor
do the miners ask for advance OF
wages. The issue is simply this
shall unskiIlful labor be paid the
same wages that are paid skilled
labor.

THE RUB IN BLAINE,S CASE

There is no precedent in Ameri
can politics for the Blame cult At
il exists now and has existed il
tho Republican party for some
years past. Never before was 9
defeated candidate for the Presi
dency 80 perslstently sought and
urged, against his own inclination
and desire, to stand before the
country for q second trial oi
strength. In the case of Jefferson
1t was a desire upon the part OF the
candidate himself to rebuke the
unfair means by which he had been
defeated at his first candidacy, and
a determination among his par
tisans to put hlm in the place from
which they believed him to have
been unfairly excluded four years
earlier, which led to his second
candidacy and first election in 1900.
Jefferson WAS a passive party to
Ire movement. jackson, despoll-
ed liz his victory In 1894, became a
fie-ce and aggressive candidate for
1928. Ii,e elder Harrison defeat
ed by Van 2uren in 1886, became
"willin' BsNis" to the efforts Of
the Wing leadsfH. which eliminated
in his renominatlon and election In
1910. Mr.. Blaine isthe first man
in our politics who, urged by the
overwhelming sentiment OF his
party, declines to stand for yindi-
cation.
His case is an anomaly. Judgs
ed from the standpoint of parallels
and superstitions there is more to
encourage than discourage Mr..
Blaine in retrospection. Every
man in our politics, with the single
exception of Clay, who, after an
initial defeat for the Presidency,
has made a new campaign, has
been successful. The Maine states
man is said to set the solitary case
of Mr.. Clay against the cases of
Jefferson, Jackson and Harrison
and to believe that his fate, like
that of the great kentuckian, is to
fall short of the highest ambition.
Such morbid fears sit but poorly
upon plum sd knights who boast OF
vigorous foreign policies.
And yet there is a consideration
which gives him pause. Meter
Jefferson, jackson nor Harrison
knew Mulligan or wrote him letters
for incineratiou There's the rub.

AN UNKNOWN ASTOR AND
HIS LIFE ROMANCE.

New York Press.
In the will of the late William
Astor is a strange clause which
reads thus:
at is my will and intention that
neither my brother, Henry Astor,
nor his issue shall, as heirs at law
or next of kin reseive any portion
of my estate, any said portion to
which he or they would in any con :
tingency be entitled | give to the
trustees of the Astor Library for
the corporate purposes OF the said
institution"
This reveals one chapter Of sad
romance. 1t came into the history
Of the billionaire family much as
romances come into the families OF
poor folk,
Is Is a romance OF the innocent
love of rich young man Tor a poor
young woman; their marriage; the
not to be unexpected anger OF the
young mans father; the young
mans determination to be faithful
to the woman he had chosen IN the
face of disinheritance, aud what
his family called disgrace; the un-
relenting abandonment of him by
all his relatives parents, brothers,
nephews and peices after Whist
was comparatively a pittance had
been thrown TO him, and finally his
complete retirement from the rich
world and gay people he had
known in his youth to the sleepy

What has been regarded always
as an island Of mystery and wonder

expedition Of the Smithsonian
Institute, with the result OF throw

and the origin of the marvels of
human hand.work found there.
This far-off spot in the Pacific goes

Tablets OF wood, bearing inscr. pt-
ions in an ancient language, whicE,
tell many surprising things, and
numerous cariosities have been
brought away for the National
Museum. Although only rock Of
lava thrown up from the depths of
the sea and having an area of only
80 square miles, Easter Island had
once a population of more than 20,

with caves formed by bubbles OF
expanded gases during volcanic

dwelling places by the people while
alive. their bones reposing in them
