all vote for it with the possible excep.
ton of Mr.. Hill. The income tax fea.
ture of the bill is reasonably certain tc
be retained, although the campaign
against it has been quite vigorous OF
late. The NEWCOMERS are especially
bitter in their opposition and the re.
cent meetings in New York City
have served to inspire Senators
Hill and Murphy to renewed
efforts against it. Nobody else in
the Senate. however, is paying the
slightest attention to the clamor of OPP
position from New York, for the fact
is recognized that those interesting
themselves in these meetings of pro-
test against the income tax are mainly
persons connected with corporations.
All of the Populist Senator's will vote
for the retention OF the income tax, so
that, with the solid Republican
strength of thirty-eight votes against
it, there would still be needed five
Democratic votes with tee opposition
to insure its defeat. The only Demo-
cratic opponents now counted upon are
Hill, Murphy, Smith and Brice, so that
the income tax is likely to have at least
a majority of one.

leaders in the House are expecting the
tariff bill to come back to them soon,
and to that end they are fastening the
pending measures in the lower branch
of Congress. The bank tax bill is now
before the House, but notice has been
served upon it's friends that they must
get it out of the way at once
Most of the appropriation bills are
through the House. Among the few
remaining is the Indian bill. AS soon
as it is out of the way the House will
be ready to resume consideration of
the tariff bill. The House members
generally now believe the Senate is in
earnest about fastening the bill. and
it is consequently expected to come
back to the House within the next two
or three weeks.

lection to the miners, to the opera
tors and the public during the time
covered by the settlement. Local or
district settlements were a ource OF
considerable annoyance and less to both
operators aud miners, for, while some
operators and miners were bound by
agreement, others were not so bound,
and thus a guerrilla warfare was
waged on the trade. This is we'll il
Illustrated in the operations of the last
few years. In 1856, under the old ar
range ment, Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, part of West Virginia
and Northern Illinois were recognized
as a comp etition district, and this field
was covered by a settlement at the
time. The next year the Northern
Illinois operators withdrew from
the interstate convention, assigning as
a reason for their action their ina
bility to pay the price agreed upon by
the operators and miners jointly in the
interstate conference, because of the
low prices prevailing in Central and
Southern Illinois. which were not q
part of the convention and were not
bound in its agreements. In 1899 the
Indiana operators withdrew from the
Interstate movement, assigning as o
reason their inability to maintain
prices because of the low prices pre-
vailing in Illinois. That practically
ended the interstate arrangement. In
1880 and 1891 Ohio and Pennsylvania
were together, but in 1892 they selara-
ted.
The present aim of the miners is,
thus, to enforce an increase of wages
and to effect a general agreement
among all the operators who compete
in the same markets. The object is
me that necessarily commends itself
and o. G, too, which the bulk of the
operators regard as just and desirable.
The present condition of affairs in
I'M Ct the mining regions is critical
in the extreme. Armed deputies and
armed miners are confronting n
another, and with the memories of past
scenes OF blocdshed between them, but
little is wanting to precipitate other
battles. more bloody and fatal than any
which have preceded them. Suffering
aud want have made the miners des-
crate, and unless the difficulty is set
tied within a short time both sides will
perhaps have grave reasons for regret.
