MINERS AND MINE OWNERS.
A Review Of the Troubles Existing in
the Goal Regions President
Walters Statement.

h4boID ObbJdluUutS
PITTsBURa, KAs., July 15.-For the last
ten years the miners Of Kansas have been
demanding at the hands Of our leglsla-
ture law compelling the coal owners to
weigh the output Of coal before passing
1T over screen or any device that would
take one-hRlf Of the product OF the
miners labor. Session after session we
failed to secure this just measure, until
the session of the last legislature, where
we were able to secure it's passage. Now
since we have been successful, the oper-
ators, not being satisfied with the de-
plorsble conditions already existing, have
attempted to still reduce the wages Of
the miners at least 0ne-fourth. The
prices paid before the passage Of this
screen law for the same kind Of coal that
the screen law calls for was 621S cents in
summer and rs cents in winter. The
price now offered by the coal companies
is 81 cents per ton; reduction Of 10
cents per ton. This we claim to be I'M
just and uncallsd FOR, as the market will
justify the price formerly paid, and the
reduced price is not sufficient for miner
to support his family. See check weigh
mans bulletins in the labor commission
er's report for the year 1889, which shows
an average Of $105 per day for the 300
possible working days; and according TO
the best enumsrator's statistics, each
miner will have five in family depending
upon his earnings Divide this S1.05 by
five, and you will see that each individ
usl depending upon the income will have
only 81 cents per day, or cents per
meal. This does not provide anything
for shoes, books, clothing, rent, doctor
bills, etc. To further reduce this in
come would render it impossible for a
miner to support himself and family. /
believe that the operators are not fight
ing the wage question 80 hard as they
are our organization.
Mr.. Editor, believe the only solution
to this wage slave question is the gov
ernment ownership or state ownership
Of the mineral deposits. Why could not
the farmers and taxpayers receive the
benefit Of those natural resources in
stead Of making millionaires Of q few
individuals better known as coal kings 7
To this end the miners of Kansas will
look and demand it at the hands of q
party that is the friend Of labor. This
Is q fight Of the classes against the
masses, coal trusts against wives and
children. Will the lovers Of liberty per-
NIT the miners Of Kansas to be starved
into submission for the lack Of assist
ance ? now appeal to all true friends
Of labor to act, and act at once, and re-
ieve the hungry who are battling for
rights. Send all contributions to j. M.

Nearly every paper in Missouri is sbus-
ing the Worlds Fair commission of that

The president finds himself face to

he would not veto free silver bill.
The bill to increase the size of the
German army at an enormous increase
of expense is about to become q law, as
the emperor's friends have already sue
ceeded in getting it through the Reich
stag. The annual war tax in that country
is already over $56O,OOOOOO. This is a
cheerful argument in favor Of centralized
government.
The directory Of the Columbian Ex-
position passed q resolution to close the
fair gates on Sunday after July 16, the
receipts OF that day being set apart for
the benefit Of the FIRE sufferers. The
board found there was no way to compel
exhibitors to uncover their displays on
Sunday, therefore Sunday opening was
not q success.
Governor Waite, of Colorado, has
stirred up the animals by making what
they call "red flag speech" at q recent
silver meeting in Denver. Among other
things he said: "If the money power
shall attempt to sustain its usurpstion
by the strong hand of the law we will
meet that issue when it Is forced upon
US, for it is better infinitely that blood
should flow to the horses brides rather
than our national liberties be destroyed" !"
This may sound little inhsmmatory
to eastern people, but it is pretty nearly
the sentiment in the woody west.

FINANOIERs PUZZLED,
The Treasury Department Pretending to
Look After the Crops.

4uo 4A0uonJ 40 poAVAnOuO 4AoVoAuAAS w
Look After the Crops.
New YORK, July 17.-There is a good
deal of speculation here as to why the
government is paying clearing house
balances in gold, when the banks want
small notes, and when it ls believed the
government is trying to build up it's gold
reserve. Reliable information from q
government source has it that the gov
ernment is reserVing currency in great
quantities to meet the extraordinary de-
mands which may be made upon it when
the crops begin to move. There is doubt
less q great amount Of currency locked
up somewhere, either in the hands OF in
dividuRls or in the country banks. II it
is in the hands Of the banks, the govern
ment will not be called upon for very
great quantity when the crops move; bat
if it is in the hands Of individuals, the
demand upon the government will be
extraordinary.
When the report Of the national banks
recently called for are summarized, the
comptroller of the currency can tell just
where the currency is.
LOWER GOLD RESERVE.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE heavy
clearing house payments in New York
caused the gold reserve to fall lower
than it has been for several days past,
and $346,886 less than it was on Satur-
day. The reserve to-day amounts to
$99O59,48O. The currency balance is
$26, 1898.
The Star this evening says in regard
to the gold payments from the United
States sub-treasury in New York that
considerable effort is being made by
financial agents here to discover the mo-
tive behind these payments. The de-
partment is as close mouthed as a clam.
An explanation, got through private
sources, is that the department is trying
to take advantage of the scarcity of
small and convenient currency for in
ternsl business to pinch the banks, as
the banks have pinched the government
by storing gold.
The banks are greatly in need Of small
bills for current business transactions
and for use in the agricultural districts.
The theory is advanced that il they can
not get what they need OF this sort of
currency by any other means they will
have to make terms with the treasury
which would involve their exchanging
gold or gold certificates in large quanti-
ties for notes and certificates Of small
denomination.
The banks understand that il they
want small notes and certificates they
can secure them by taking large quRnti- |
ties and paying for them in gold, and it
is the theory of the department that by |
pinching them pretty close they can
afford to do this.

THE LIHOLIHO.
Captains Campbell and Berry
Return from the Wreck.

Captains c. J. Campbell and II.
Fl. Berry returned from the wreck
on Kauai of the schooner Liholiho
by the steamer Iwalani Sunday.
Capt. Campbell arrived at Maka-
we'll harbor last Wednesday, and
he in company with Capt. Berry,
master of the Liholibo, went and
examined the vessel, which is still
lying on a sand bank on the Maka-
well beach. A portion of her keel
aft is gone, and the water enters
through holes made near the keel.
The vessel has been stripped of
everything except the masts. AS
the expense of bringing her to
Honolulu for repairs is very great,
and the vessel about fourteen years
old, it has been decided to let her
remain as she is, and break up
little by little by the action of
wave and wind and slow decay
Capt. Berry stated that it would
take very long time for the Liho-
Tho to go to pieces in this way, but
if a heavy gale comes in and
brings the vessel on the rocks, it
would not take long then for her to
go to pieces. An attempt will be
made In the future to remove the
masts. At present the wedges that
hold the masts in place, are con-
siderably swelled. Time will
loosen them and then the masts
can be removed.

The public school system of the Unit
ed States is not equalled by that of any
nation. No system described in history
was ever superior to it. The public
schools of the United States, however,
may properly be criticised. They have
defects. There are defects which ought
to be remedied. Frank, fair, intelligent
criticism is always in order. The insti-
buttons of free people thrive in the
light. No man should be accused of
attacking the system of public schools
when he shows how they may be i'm
proved. He is public benefactor who
shows how any application of the energy
of steam, electricity, or intellect, may
be improved upon. In mechanics i'm
provementS are patented. Riches and
honor often come to those who can point
out defects in the working of machinery
and suggest the remedy In equal honor
should be held every intelligent and
fair minded man who can give the re-
suit of his observation at home or
abroad. and can show how the best
education of our boys and girls. The
truth is we are just at the beginning in
matters of education. When we have
come to the best, the boys and girls of
America will be brought into the socie-
ty and under the influence of the most
gifted and highly cultivated men and
women. The poorest will have the adj
vantage of the best; but that statement
implies the possibility of improvement
which will leave our present methods as
far behind as are the stage-cOach and
the spinning-wheel. Christian Regis
