The deepest mining shaft in America

ebrated gold and silver lodes, as one
might expect, nor in the coal regions
OF Pennsylvania, nor among the mines
of the Montezumas" in Mexico. 1t is

In depth. The mine In question is called
the "Tamarack' and is reputed by ex-

the world.

THE FATE OF PORT ARTHUR.

A late number of the Japanese Ga
zette explains the ease with which the
Japanese captured Port Arthur. Ii
true, the incident is distinctly a dra-
matte one. 1t seems that one OF the
commanders of the Chinese forts was a
native of Japan. His long residence In
China brought him popularity and ad-
vancement, and having acquired favor
in Chinese councils he was trusted. At
the battle of Port Arthur this man in
tentionally caused the shots from the
guns Of the forts to be misdirected, so
they would fall short Of the Japanese
warships. Thus, az the Gazette says,
'having betrayed his adopted land for
the land of his birth" After the cap
itulation of the forts the disgraced
commander appeared before the victo-
rious Japanese Generals, acknowledged
his treason, and committed suicide in
their presence Newport Herald.

Two Sides to It.
Times

rhc mercantile reports show that
during 1894 the laboring mon OF the
nation received but ! per cent less
average wages than during the year
preceding. But during the year
there was an average decrease Of 5l
per cent in the materials that were
purchased by wage-carners. This
proves the Ialsiiy Of the charge OF the
professional labor agitators who in
sist that the wage-earners always are
"the first to suffer" The fact is that
the purchasing power of the wage
Garner has been greater during 1894
than at any time in the history Of the
Republic.
The other, and the unpleasant, side
Of the case is that the number OF
wage-carners has been unusually
small. Mills, factories, and mines
have suspended operation or have
run on "short time" during the tariff
scare, the silver scare, and the other
scares that combined TO form the
panic Of 1S93-9l, bus the men who
were fortunate enough to find EN-
ployment found also that the decrease
in the price Of the goods that they
had to buy was greater than that of
the price OF the labor that they had
to sell. The iniquity Of the pro-
iectors Of the ''great strike" is EN-
phasi1ed by the figures that prove an
average reduction Of more than 5 per
cent in the selling price Of the pro-
duets Of labor, while there was an
average reduction of but per cent
on the price Of labor. The employer
had the big end Of the burden, II
was the laborer who was best of and
had least TO lose. Bad as is the situa-
ton for laborers, employers are not
to be envied and wise are the EN-.
ployees who look at both sides Of the
question before insisting on unfair
demands or indulging in bulldozing
methods, to.force capital to do what it
cannot do. Until business gets "out
Of the woods" q mutual forbearance
must be exercised by all alike. Capt.
tal and labor must 60 hand in hand
to solve the great questions before
them and to put their mutual inter-
ests back on q substantial basis.

ministration Of the affairs Of the city
There are more good men and women
than there are bad men and women in
Abilene. There are more men and
women who desire that the city shall
have an honorable, progressive,
business administration, than there
are those who are willing to sacrifice
honor, progress, and prosperity for
personal and selfish ends. II the
business men OF the city will unite in
the selection OF an administration Of
business men-men who are individ-
ually and financially interested in the
progress and prosperity Of the city,
such an administration will be Sc
lected. The only way to remedy
abuses in our city govern
ment, II such exist, Is for all good
men and women to discharge their
duties by taking an active part in
preparing for the city election This
will necessitate considerable serious
and earnest work on the part OF many
good citizens. But unless the good
men and women are willing to put as
much energy and shrewdness into the
work as the ward politicians, the
"heelers" and the selfish ofice-seeker,
there is very little hope for success,
and the diligent "boss" will surely
be successful. The way to win is to
agitate, to seek to arouse public
spirit in favor Of the well-being Of
the whole people. Organize the bust
ness men, the good men, and then
see that every good man and woman
registers long before the books close.
Create public sentiment from now on.
