amazing part of the matter is that SOUTH
ern politicians are SO eager to- play into
hands at the sacrifice and ruin Of their
own section.
After all no one can marvel at the
shrewdness and selfshness of New Eng
land. Her people, vote with that party
which best promotes their material inter-
ests. They have no maudlin sentimental
tiles ON the subject 1t is matter Of
business, and pity tbs that the South does
not view parties and platforms from the
same standpoint instead of running wild
over the vagaries of dreamers.and the
prating of politicians. do not urge the
South to go into the republican party for
the reason that the tendencies OF that
party on the race question are ruinious to
the South; but do urge that the Southern
people send to Congress and every other
public station men who understand her
material needs and will intelligently sub
serve them. The mining districts at least
should appreciate the Importance of doing
this before they are sold out body and soul
by their ignorant or corrupt representa-
tiyes. For this reason l am glad to see
YOU advocate the election Of Gen. Ayers to
the Governorship. He is identified with
the Industrial movement in Southwestern
Virginia; appreciates its vital Importance
to the solvency and restoration of the
State, and would make an honest and
capable executive. 1t is the first import
ance that such men be placed in repre-
sentative positions throughout the South.
There has been enough of platitudes and
platforms-those trashy husks by which
the Southern people have so long been
fed leaving the grain to their adversaries.
Let us have fewer fine sentiments and be-
come more practical and business like in
our political methods and aims. Political
parties should be organized to further ma
terial ends not to help to heaven; and
that party is best for any people which has
honesty as its basis and best promotes
their industrial interests. c. f. S.

Daniel on Hill.

Hon. John W. Daniel has written an
able and eloquent letter defending Sena-
tor Hill against the charges that have ave
been brought against him by the mug
wumps and 'sslip-shod" Democrats OF New
York. He says very emphatically that
the charge that Hill knitted Cleveland in
1883 is a falsehood. Senator Daniel says
that he heard Cleveland himself say that
this charge was false and that ii ill was IN
capable of such an act. Such statement
coming from Senator Daniel must he re-
ceiyed as the truth, as no breath OF sus-
picion has ever rested upon his fair name.
He is too true Democrat to support
man who had been guilty Of knitting his
party's candidate for the presidency.
Senator Daniel goes over Hills record
as Governor of New York pretty thorough
". and shows that not one act of his can
Justify the charge that he is aparty Trick
ster. He made an able, honest and pa
triotic Governor Of the Empire State. 1t
was largely through the stand taken NY
him that New York should make mo ap-
preparation for the Worlds Fair IT the
Force Bill should become law, that the
Democrats in Congress were enabled to
defeat that measure. In this he did SER
vice for the South that should never be
forgotten, and this very act of his is often
cited by his opponents as an instance to
prove his being trickster. If this be
trickcry then the Southern people love
him for being trickster and will show
their love when it comes to sending dele
gates to the National Convention.
Liberal extracts from Senator Daniels
letter appear on the first page Of the Posi-
to-day and no good Democrat who wants
to know the truth about Hill should fail
to read them.

I During the first third of the present

the shipping interests gave way to the as

The iron Ores.

Late Developments have shown that the
amount of iron ore deposited in the noun
tains around Big Stone Gap is far greater
than the most sanguine have hoped for
Wsllen's Ridge is filled with it. A vein
averaging thirty six inches in thickness
has been opened at numerous places, anu
there is now no doubt of its persstency.
This can be mined at minimum cost, us
10 runs almost parallel with the surface OF
themountain and at most places can be
gotten out by the simple process OF strip
ping. This process consists i'll simply
shoveling away the dirt which covers the
vein and blasting out the iron ore This
"a one of the cheapest modes of getting
out iron ore, and as there are inexhaustl-
b,e quantities of ore within circuit OF
five miles around this city that can be
gotten out in this manner, there remains
no question of furnaces located here De
ing able to get ore at an exceedingly low
cost.
This question of whether or not there
were large quantities of iron ores here
has been the only one that has ever caus-
ed any doubt as to the correctness OF the
claim that this is the cheapest point IN
Che United States to manufacture iron.
That there are inexhaustible quantities OF
ore here can now no longer be denied.
The pick and shovel have proven this in
manner that no number OF SO called ex-
perts could have done. 1t is no matter OF
op;nion that this ore is here. II has been
proven by ocular demonstration. The
iron mines are being operated, and the
doubter has but to open his eyes and see
what is being done around him to learn
that thore is no doubt about this being
che most favorably located spot in this
whole country for the manufacture OF iron.
We no longer base our claims to recogni-
zion on this point upon the opinions OF
biologists aud mining experts, but say to
the doubling Thomas" come and see for
yourself.
The ores, found in Wallen's Ridge are
by no means all in this district. Pros
pectors have uncovered valuable deposits
ofiron in almost every hill and ridge iy'
ing to the East or Southeast of Stone
Mountain. A careful estimate has shown
thatin the ridge lying between Lovelad,
Gap and Pennington's Gap, distance o.
about twenty. miles, there is sufficient ore
to supply two of the largest furnaces ii
the country over twenty-five hundred
years, This is in one ridge alone, anf
figures as to the quantities that are avail
able in this immediate section would ap'
pear incredible.
No unbiased man, who will acknowledge
che Truth, can any longer doubt that there
are untold quantities of iron ore easil,
gotten at laying in these mountains, ane
this being the case Big Stone Gap must
have advantages for the manufacturing Of
iron that are possessed by no other point
I'm the United States.

II was the first formal meeting OF the
Workmen, and those who succeeded
them in authority and its interest was
heightened by the absolute refusal of
General Snowden to recognize the Anal
gamated association or any other body.
Captain Coon, an ex.militia officer,
acting as Spokesman, told the general
that the delegation represented the citi-
zens of Homestead and the Amalga-
mated association, who wished to assure
the state authority of their desire to CO.
operate with it in maintaining order.
General Snowden CURLY interrupted
Captain Coon to say that he did not
recognize the Amalgamated association
or any other authority except that of
the governor of Pennsylvania and the
sheriff of Allegheny county. The peo-
pie of Homestead, he said, could best
cooperate with the state troops by be-
having themselves.
Captain Coon went ON to tender all as
sistance in the power of the citizens and
the Amalgamated Association, but the
general again cut him short with the re-
mark that he could not accept any such
tenders.
Then Hugh O'Donnell went ON to say
that the tenders of cooperation grew
out Of q mass-meeting Of workingmen
and citizens of Homestead and were
made in their name and not in that of
the Amalgamated association. General
Snowden said he recognized no citizens
but those of Allegheny county.
"Then as citizens Of Allegheny coun-
ty," said Mr.. O'Donnell, 1--WE come here
to see you"
"Then / am glad to see you, gentle
men," was the generals reply. 81 am
glad that our position here is welcomed
by the citizens Of Allegheny county"
This gave Mr.. O'Donnell his oppor-
tunity to say that the men of the town
wished to form in a body with four
brass bands and pass in review before
the troops. But General Snowden re-
fused to consider the proposition. He
did not want reception, he said. He
was there to carry out the commands OF
the state Of Pennsylvania and not tc
have any formality.
eff wee in my personal capacity,
he said, sit would be very flattering, but
/ am not"
This concluded the interview and
after some moments of embarrassed 81
lence, the delegation withdrew in any
thing but good humor.

Strikers and Non-Union Miners Have
Desperate Fight.
WALLACE, Ida. July 13.-The expect
ed outbreak between the union and non
union miners in the Occur d'Alene
trouble occurred Monday when union
man was fired upon from ambush. He
gave the alarm and battle ensued, one
being killed on each side and several
wounded. A car loaded with 750 pounds
of giant powder was sent down the
track and exploded opposite the Frisco
mine, completely wrecking the mill.
The number of killed, so far as can at
present be learned, is four, and about
ten wounded Troops have been sent to
the scene.
The cause of the strike was the demand
of the strikers of the district for $3.50
per day for every man working under
ground.
The lockout was begun April by the
Mine Owners association, and 1900
miners were thrown out of work. Since
then the mine owners have been making
a struggle to run their mines with non
union men and guards.
