ROCKEFELlER'S NERVE.
He VIII Meet the Cut in Bessemer Ore
and Go One Better.

He VIII Meet the Cut in Bessemer Ore
and Go One Better.
CLEVELAND, O., March LIT is re-
ported that John d. Rockefeller has
proposed to put 2,OOO,O tons of besse-
mer ore on the Cleveland docks at
81 so per ton. It is claimed that he
can make profit of thirty cents per
ton on such a contract. He has esti-
mated that rail freight can be secured
at forty cents and a lake rate of sixty
five cents from the head of the lakes.
This is plausible from the fact that he
controls the railroad and is the largest
owner in the whaleback company.
The prices quoted at the Rockefeller
mines are such as to meet those of the
Norre, of the Gogebie range. which
has made contracts for delivery at
Cleveland at Sa.75. None of the Me-
saba range outside of the Rockefella~
mines will attempt to meet the prices.

The Sherman silver-purchase act has
been repealed. So mischievous had
this law, passed solely by republican
votes, become that business men of all
parties united in demanding its repeal.
The firm attitude of the democratic adj
ministration secured an unconditional
stoppage of silver purchases. and for
the first time since the passage of the
Bland act, in 1878, the currency of the
country was relieved of the danger Of
debasement.
The elections law has been repealed.
With 1t disappeared the last vestige Of
centralized coercion, the fruit of the.
war. Elections are hereafter to be free.
The threat of "a bayonet behind every:
ballot"-of the party in power doing,
as Speaker Reed said the republican
party intended to do, Its own registra-
ton, its own counting and its own GER
titication"-is removed. This achieve
ment alone is enough TO have made the
first year of the democratic restor ton
memorable.
genuine tariff-reform bill has
passed the house. The Wilson bill is
the most scientific and just tariff meas
ure that has passed either house of con-
gress in thirty years If enacted into
law it will free the great body Of the
people from needlessly burdensome
taxes, 1t will relieve our manufacturers
from hindering handicap, it will en-
large the activities and increase the re-
wards of labor. 1t executes the man
date of the people. 1t fulflls the Oft
repeated pledge of the democratic par
ty.
There has been promising start in
pension reform. The greatest source
of extravaganza and fraud in the en-
tire federal system has been boldly and
honestly attacked. The pension appro-
priation bill reported to the house is
nearly SIS, 900 less than the amount
appropriated for the current fiscal
year.
This is record of which the demo-
cratic party has c right to be proud,
despite the shortcomings and wrong
goings in other directions.
AS to the reverse side of the picture
there is this to be said: Every mill that
is closed was shut up under the opera
ton of the Mckinley fifty per cent
tariff. Every workingman that is I'M
employed is idle under the law that
was framed ostensibly to protect"
him. Every dollar of increase in the
public debt represents a dollar of the
republican deficiency. Every lack in
the treasury is due to the republican
law which cut revenue by raising
taxes. Every expedient to obtain gold
to maintain the public credit is the
necessary result of the net loss of gold
to the country during the republican
administration of over 1926. ZOO, 900.
Every deficiency, increasing payment
from the public treasury, bears the
sign manual of republican president
That there are dangers ahead of the
democratic party none will deny But
the record of it's first year in power
challenges comparison with any similar
period in the history of the country

THE BALLAD OF BENJAM.N.u

into the west rode Benjamin h.,
On his iron steec SO fair,
He rode all day and he rode all night
To see what might be there.
Into the west rode Benjamin H,
And he trimmed his words with care,
For the speeches he spake and the talks he
talked
Said nothing OF getting there
Into the west rode Benjamin H.,
And grandpa's hat went. too
But he kept it hid in dark valise,
Entirely out Of view.
Into the west rode Benjamin A.,
And Mai Mckinley sighed;
For he had some doubt of what might DO
The result of such ride
Into the west rode Benjamin Il.
And Mr.. T. B. Reed
Scratched his dome OF thought ref1ectiyely
And gave the matter heed
Into the west rode Benjamin H.,
Some pointers for to get:
He rode all day and he rode all night,
And he hasn't got there" yet

WHEN THE BELT RAN OFF.
How Facetious Western Drummer
Scared an Englishman

How q Facetious Western Drummer
Scared an Englishman.
There was very green Englisman
at Butte City. Mont, who vas talking
npout purchasing land near by for a
horse ranch, and as he strolled around
the depot the half-dozen drummers
who happened to meet there put up
job on him. One of them borrowed
coat and hat Of a ranchero. took the
cartridges OUT Of his revolver, and
with the weapon held aloft in his
hand be suddenly jumped into the
waiting-room and yelled:
''Whoop! I'm cantankerous old
fighter from the headwaters OF Fight
ing creek! I'm half-hoss and half-alli-
gator? I'm down on everything that
walks OF two legs, particularly En-
glishmen. Whar's the bloody, bloomin'
Briton who called me liar?"
''What's the row about?" inquired
the Englishman as he came to halt
and faced about.
'Whoop! I've fit in three wars and
kept graveyard of my own the rest of
the time" shouted the terror as he
danced around. Down on yer mar

Not if / know it," draw1ed the
Briton, cool as ice, and he squared off
and landed thumper on the drum
mer's nose, which piled him over
among the stocks of pelts and dazed
him SO that he couldn't speak for the
next five minutes. We had to hold
the foreigner" to keep him from fol-
lowing up. and when the drummer had
been sponged off and brought to he
sat down on baggage-truck and held
his nose and reflected for. a long time.
Then he slowly remarked:

The Tariff Bill,

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The MEM
hers of the senate finance committee,
with the assistance of Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin. put an another day yes
terday in an effort to change the adj
rainistrative features of the bill so
that they would meet the approval of
all the committee and the treasury Of
6cials. One of the matters that has
caused much discussion is the alleged
facility for frauds in the matter of UNI
LIBERALIZATION under the almost nni-
form system of ad valorem rates
adopted by the democratic members OF
the committee.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE,
The History of Which Dates Back Some
Weeks.

Weeks.
The history of this trouble dates
| back some weeks, and was delayed be-
cause the governor preferred to wait
until the extra session was ended be-
fore he acted.
To understand the situation it must
be known that some years ago the citi-
zens of Denver asked the legislature
to give them a new charter that would
take the police, fire and public works
departments out of the hands of
the municipality and then put it in the
hands of boards Differed by appoint
ments made by the governor 1t was
believed that this would result in re.
moving the matter from the corruption
of politics.
The Governors Political Ambition.
Gov. Waite had shown a desire to
make these departments subserve his
| political ambitions, and has tried to
make all of them political boards filed
with populist followers.
The board of fire and police has been
changed often to suit his whims. Some
members resisted, but the governor
won his case before the supreme court,
which declared that he could remove
them for cause. When he demanded
the removal of members Martin and
Orr, recently, they refused to GO. Gov.
Waite, relying on, the decision of the
supreme court in the first case, did not
| ask of the courts how to proceed. He
| declared that the members had vio-
lated their trust by placing special po-
licemen at ambling houses contrary
to law, and he appointed two new mem
bers.
1t was his purpose to make war upon
the gamblers in order to gain the good
will of the people of the state, and
especially to secure the following of
the new women voters. The deposed
members applied to the district court
and obtained a temporary injunction
to restrain the governor, the mayor
and the new members from taking pos
session of the office of the police and
fire board by force. This was objected
to, but after arguments had been
heard, Judge Graham declined to re-
move the injunction. Then, after sew
eral days deliberation. the governor
decided to ignore the injunction, and
so issued last night his orders to the
militia.
All the Militia of the State Called Out.
DENVER, Col, March 15.-Gov.
Waite late tonight issued an order
calling out every company of militia
in the state. They are to come to Den
yer Immediately ready to act. The
Colorado national guard consists of
two regiments, one with headquarters
here and the other in Pueblo.
The entire force can muster proba-
bly, 1000 men. The governor says the
companies are not sufficient to cope
with the crowds and the police force.
They canco. reach Denver before Sat
urday

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Some Idea OF Ex-Cashier Mays Finan
cial Delinquencies.

Some Idea OF Ex-Cashier Mays Finan-
cial Delinquencies.
LONDON, March 16.-At the meeting
of the directors of the Bank of En-
gland statement was submitted by
Mr.. David Powell, the governor. of the
bank, in which he expressed regret at
the necessity for the removal of Frank
May, the chief cashier. Mr.. May, he
said, was removed, though allowed to
resign, for exceeding his authority and
committing great irregularities in
regard to making advances to certain
customers. In one case he had made a
considerable overdraft without the au-
thority or even the knowledge of the
governor, and contrary to the rules of
the bank he had INDUCED in trans
actions on the stock exchange which
had resulted in grave pecuniary differ
ences. Mr.. Powell said that the sys-
tenn of advances hitherto pursued had
been thoroughly changed. 1t was i'm
possible to estima tie the full amount of
the banks losses from Mr.. Mays trans
actions, but the sum of sa50,00o had
been set aside to meet them.
Since August, 1898, Mr.. Powell said,
the liabilities to the bank of the firm
Barring Bros. & Co., which failed last
summer, had been reduced e665, 600.

jeweller so and that it needed no regu-
