Here's a Scheme.

A correspondent at Mason City,
this state, says that Hugh Juhling,
of the Hartford mines just north of
this place, has made a proposition
TO his miners to let them run the
bank, and deliver their coal in bar
ges at the river. He will pay them
3 cents per bushel for clean coal, "a
cents per bushel for mixed, and s
cents per wagon OF 20 bushels for
slack
'If the proposition is accepted by
the miners, a like proposition will
be made by the other large operators
and business in the Pemeroy Bend
will be booming again within the
next 30 days"

that on Tuesday night when be dis

Senator Edward D. White. O.
Louisiana, was on Monday nominal
ed for Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court. The nomination was
at once confirmed by the Senate, and
Mr. Justice White it is. 1t was dons
quickly and firmly. There were nc
parleys and no debates. 1t was in
every way conducted in a proper
manner.
Senator White is nominated to fiji
the vacancy caused by the death o.
the late Justice Samuel f. Batch
ford, of New York. The President
nominated White after the Senate
had refused to confirm Hornblowel
and Peckham. The selection of &
justice from Louisiana was grea,
surprise, though it was admitted
Immediately after Pcckham's nomin
alton had been rejected, that the
President considered himself entire
~ free to go outside Of New York in
making the appointment. Some sur.
rise was manifested that the Presi
dent went SO far from New York
and the comments we're to the effect
that he had no doubt taken the As.
sosiate Justiceship out of New York

The passage of the Wilson tariff
bill by an unexpectedly large major
ity in the House OF Representatives
was the signal for new revival in
our dropping industries. The re-
peal of the Republican silver laws
has placed our financial institutions
upon sound basis, and those which
were driven to the wall by the Sher-
man law are now regaining their old
strength and prosperity. There has
been a concurrent improvement in
the condition of our manufacturing
industries, and the passage through
the House of comprehensive reform
bill, calculated to sweep away the
unnecessary and harmful restrictions
placed upon our trade by the Nc
KinIey law, has given a new impetus
to the upward tendency. Not until
the Wilson bill shall have passed
both branches of Congress and been
approved by the President will the
country enjoy its full measure of
prosperity, and in the interests Of
every class and every party it is
hoped there will be no delay in full
filing the reform pledges by which
the party in power is bound.

1t is not proper for Democrats to
talk about what they are pleased to
call "the cheese pairing policy of

Republican party is the advocate of
extravaganza and profigaey and for
that were turned out of power.

Who Emptied The Treasury

A correspondent of the Sun sends
a cutting from contemporary, in
which the cash in the treasury" at
the beginning of the Harrison ad
ministration is compared with the
"cash in the treasury at the end OF
that administration-no mention be.
ing made of iabilities-witht the re.
suit, according to the editor, that
there was "nearly $10,000,000 more
cash in the treasury when President
Harrison left office than when he
entered The fact is that when Mr..
Cleveland went out of office in March
1889, heleft cash balance, over and
above liabilities, according to the
form OF statement afterward adopted
by Secretary Foster, of SlS5, 900, 900.
while Mr.. Harrison left no balance
at all, but left the treasury bank
rupt. Secretary Foster in the spring
of 1898 wanted to issue 100000
of bonds to fortifty the treasury, but
Mr.. Harrison would not agree to it.,
since it would make too plain the ex-
travagance of his party In Mr..
Cleyeland's first term the total ex-
penditures were 81 OFT, 62O,097; in
Mr.. Harrison's. $1,412,315901. In
Mr.. Harrison's last three years the
revenue was 81, 1868, $50; the APP
preparations $1,496, 1851 These
last figures tell the story.

1t is not surprising that the Re
publicans are opposed to the income
tax. They have as n party always
been opposed to the poor and in fav-
or of the rich. Whenever the issue
is drawn you always know where to
find the Republican party. 1t don't
only sympathize with the rich but is
willing to grant license to the rich
to grind down the poor and make
them poorer and more wretched.

pointed TO appear at the Trades assem-
