There is nothing more than rumor at
present as to an advance in the price Of
anthracite for July deliveries. 1t is expected
that when it is announced that it will come
in the same manner as was that of April 27th,
when the p. Y r. Co. came out with list
showing an advance of % cents per ton
over the figures previously quoted on paper.
That the other companies will follow is to be
taken as a matter of course. Actual figures
realized do not show that the list is had on
the delivcriessmade, although the companies
are making strong efforts in this direction.
The workmen know this fully as well as the
operators, and therefore we do not look for
any change in the rate of wages paid just yet,
As soon as there is another advance in the
list SO that present quotations may actually
be realized, we expect that changes will be
made 1t is futile to talk of full time and
high prices, and not over 1000, 600 tons a
month should be done during the remainder
Of this year.-Saward' 5 Journal

IT is well known that Cleveland regards
the money question as the most important
one in our politics. He has done everything
in his power to keep his party from taking
the wrong course upon it, and his failure in
that respect is the worst disappointment of
his public life. A declaration for free silver
by the Chicago convention will make it im-
possible for him to vote the Democratic
ticket. The issue is not one of expedience,
but of honesty and patriotism. He believes
that the free coinage Of silver would be
national calamity, and hence he cannot by
any ingenuity Of special pleading make it
seem right or consistent to give the least
countenance to that kind Of a proposition.
To say the least, he will have 20 stay away
from the polls on election day. But can he
afford merely to sulk in his tent, and neglect
the opportunity to cast his ballot in favor Of
sound money? In other words, will it not
be necessary for him to vote the Republican
ticket in order to vindicate the integrity of
his convictions and the sincerity of his
opposition to a great public fallacy and peril
1t is reported that he has expressed such an
inclination, and surely he can not be blamed
if he carries it Ou'.

publican committee yesterday elected NJ.
A. Hanna who managed McI&inley's can
vass for the nomination, chairman of the
committee and he will take the active
direction of the Republican campaign. His
headquarters probably will be in New
York city
From an authoritative sourceitis learned
that Chairman Hanna has decided upon
the secretary and treasurer of his executive
committee, both of which positions he has
power to fill The story is that Major
Charles l.. Dick, of Akron, will get the
secretaryship, while Sylvester Etert, Of
Cleveland, will be made treasurer
With this comes an interesting story. It
is that Hanna wanted Dick for national
but Foraker and Bush
nell insisted so strongly upon Kurtz that
Hanna had to yield and now he has given
Dick, or will give him something equally
as good, to use n Missouri political phrase.
1t is also understood that ex-Committee-
man Hahn, of Ohio, will be placed upon
the executive committee by Mr.. Hanna.

the British high commissioner here, say
ing that, having in view the welfare and
peace of South Africa, the Transvaal gov

its possession, and which are at the disl

justify and compel the bringing to trial of
Messrs. Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Belt and
Dr. Harris, all of the British South AZ
rica company, and connected with the raid
into the Transvaal. The secretary adds
that the Transvaal republic is obliged to
press this step ON Great Britain, and also
to urge that all control of the British

McKINLRYIs GREATNESS.

The New York Despatch says Mark Hanna
is an able man, but lie did not make, mould or
create Mckinley, however closely he may be
identified with McKmley's fortune. Nc
Kinley has also been described as Speaker
Reeds former lieutenant. 1t is also notable
that General Grant was once also some one's
Lieutenant Growth and development GENE
from within, not from without the individual,
whatever the exterior influences or environ
ment.
No man could make Mckinley great He
became great by virtue Of his own potentiality.
Mckinley has worked his way into the hearts
of the people He represents a political
principle that has become precious TO an op-
pressed aud a depressed nation. High pro-
lection may OF may not he wholly equitable
aud right, but we have como TO know that il
means personal and national safety and pros
perity.
As the father of high protection, Mckinley
may have been Mr., Reeds lieutenant aud
he may have benefited by the experience
and wisdom of other Republicans, but all
the same, the credit belongs to and was
earned by Mckinley. On his merits he was
sent TO Congress. ON his merits he was
elected Governor Of Ohio. On the battlefield
he won his spurs. As "a citizen, as a neigh
Dor, as a Christian and as an official, he has
proved his great ability and been faithful tC
his trusts
Mckinley is a great man and wise states
man. Nor is there in his party, one approach
ing him in greatness or nearly so ideal in a.
capacities of life.
