INTEREST

Put it down as Sheer Nonsense.
No one intends to run a
business for GLORY or sell
you goods because they
LOVE you. All are after
your money, but it is not
always GLORY for the mer-
chant. Often one gets goods
on hand that are not profit
able to handle and must be
sold and the money realized
out of them with as little
loss as possible.
Therefore we offer a part Of our
line of BOOTS, SHOES,
HATS, PANTS, SHIRTS
and UNDERWEAR at great,
ly reduced prices and 10C
Youths and Boys Suits
below cost.
On all other goods our prices arc
Rock Bottom and as low a.
anyone can make them,
Those who have dealt with
us the longest know oui
liberal manner of dealing
they know we do just what
we agree to do, they know
we have held them up during
all these trying times. We
have helped many and die
not pull out when things
locked gloomy and we thinl
We deserve a fair share o
patronage.
No one will give you more TO

No one will treat you better.

On the first OF October a
MAR reduction in pay took
oUETrE place at the mines oil the
RANGE. Lake Superior and Cleveland
Cliffs companies. The wages
OF common labor were reduced from
80 to $1.25 per day, pay OF all
mechanics was reduced five cents per
day, and the basis OF contract miners
lowered from 81. TO $l75 per
day. While the basis for contract men
has been at $1.S0 per day, the real
earnings OF the men have been above
this, averaging something better than
so 90 in the mines OF lshpeming. Com
pared TO wages of miners paid elsewhere,
we believe the rate is above all other
iron ore ranges in the Lake Superior
region. On the Gogebc the rate at the
Ironwood mines is Sl.75 perday. How
ever, it is not IA high as it should be.
Miners are worth $500 per day. Their
vocation is hazardous one, and they
must possess skill TO carry it on. We
have an excellent class OF men here,
they are sober, industrious and good
citizens. They should have more wages,
but like all others throughout the
country, they will have to keep up
courage until change for the better
comes. We hope that day is not lar
distant.
The Lake Superior Iron company has
large amount OF unsold ore at lower
lake ports and considerable ut its section
6 and No. Z shafts. Much OF it is Its
highest quality ore. Besides this they
have 5000, 900 worth OF pig iron stocked
in the Excelsior furnace yards, this city
They are getting alarmed at the condl'
ton, and are fearful that there will he q
shortage of money to pay their labor, az
i'm the case with the Lake Angelina
people. They are working IA large force
OF men and the monthly payroll ioots
up To large amount.
The Cleveland-Clifis company has, nj
it's different mines in this city 27O,OOC
tons OF ore aud besides this has a large
tonnage ut lower lake ports unsold. II
has a large stock oi pig iron, the product
of it's Gladstone furnaces, and it is als'
heavily interested in the l.. :. Il ]. rail
road, nm enterprise which has taken :
large amount OF money. Unless some
thing in the way Of Improvement sooI
comes there will have to be q reduction
OF mine force, aud a reduction at Tia
close OF navigation will probably occur
The company expects to close shipment
in four weeks. IL would have stoppe'

Too frightened to linger for pity
OF the dying who sobbed DER the

Ger the fostering piles of the dead!
Bloated faces turned upward 10 heaven
From a writhing and twisted heap
OF souls dying alone-unforgiven,
By the CHASTITY corpses asleep
Where none but the cruel could sleep!
On the hand of what once vas a woman
Cleaned a jewel of rarest device.
A. uhe hest of some fiend inhuman

Blue, clammy and horrible ice.
And her | rushed forth from the

In that instant an agony mortal

pain.
Death had lurked in the heart of the
jewel,
Its beauty had cost me too dear!
On my anguish it shone cold and cruel
Its light withered an loneliness

Made Gethsemane's Oliye-tree scar

o so often, darling, dearie,
When my Soul is sick and weary,
All the world seems cold and dreary;
In a mood most melancholy
| can only see my folly,
All my struggle and endeavor
Useless seems and fruitless ever.
All my hope from me is taken
And my faith is surely shaken;
Then my soul in it's despair
Longs to cease to live and are.
o my darling. o, my dearie.
'Tis a feeling sad and eerie!
When my soul of life is weary,
When my eye is wet and teary,
Then | think of thee, my dearie;
And my heart is filled with gladness,
Driving out all gloom and sadness,
Then with hope | grow inspired
And my will with zeal is fired
To accomplish what I can,
Ever striving as a man,
Even though my place be lowly
! And success may come but slowly.
For l know that you do care
If my life be dark and fair.
By what magic, darling dearie,
Can you make my thoughts 81

THEIR PLATFORM ARRA1GNED.

In an the democratic party there is
not today a more brilliant editor thar
Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun,
and his advice will be taken by thou
sands of democrats of the United States
in the present contest of the parties for
national supremacy. On the morning
after the nomination OF Bryan the Sun
contained a scorching arraignment Of
the Chicago platform. from which we
extract the following:
THE agony is over The democratic
party. assembled regularly in national
convention, pledges itself to revive the
free coinage of silver at the old ratio
OF 16 to 1, and to accomplish the impo-
sttion Of an income tax. The democ-
racy of Jefferson, from which have
been drawn invariably the ideas which
have given political stability and re-
publican enthusiasm to this country,
has passed into the control OF Jeffer-
sons diametric opposite, the socialist,
or communists. or, as he is now known
here, the populist.
THE process which eliminated yes
terday at Chicago has been going on
for much longer than the last 10 years
in which it has been manifest to all.
Since the war, while the democratic
party was being built up again in the
north, the south, where lay the democ-
racy'c main strength, made no sign Of
desire for a new departure. 1t accept
ed Willingly as it's candidates that pure
disciple Of the democratic faith, Samuel
Hancock OF Pennsylvania, pretending
to nothing but party orthodoxy, and
Grover Cleveland, AN unknown quantity
but, like Tilden, coming from the con-
sentative State of New York. But the
seeds of socialistic revolution were in
the south all the time, and, by a Singh
lar fatality, the first man to obtain pos
session Of the Presidents office in the
democratic name both weakened demo-
cratic sentiment and famed populism's
destructive fame. A political freak, of
alien instincts, without conception OF
party government, and aiming at per-
sonal government only, he destroyed
the idea Of party, coherency n allie
glance to tradition, headed and inspir-
ed, in the mad crusade of 1892 against
capitals iron heel" and against the
rich as robbers Of the poor, the great

ing and classifying, the national none
tary standard hateful in the eyes OF ev-
cry waverer. and actually proposed the
populistic income tax now openly made
a plank in the democratic platform.
Southern poverty, engendered by the
war, and the common discomfort, stir
red up to recklessness by the agitation
OF the past u years, have at last blazed
into a demand for debased coinage and
a tax on wealth, and have carried the
national democratic convention!
The Chicago platform cannot be ac-
cepted. The United States was made
democratic, and 1T must remain so.
"Free-silver coinage would be ma
tional dishonos and a monumental an
achronism. Silver has had its day as a
money standard. The comemrce of
ovhzation, which has used as 4 med
ium of exchange pretty much every
thing from shields to the higher metals,
bas progressed beyond silver. 1t has

A Black Dolskin Cloth Care
trimmed with buttons, full
sweep, 81 SO at Hirsch's.
pARDONED.

On yesterday Lawyer Richard H. Fries
received telegram from Gov. Johnston
announcing the pardon of Sam Hawkins,
colored Sam was convicted last May of
manslaughter in the first degree for the
killing of Tom Byars, colord, and SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary.
The conviction was had in the criminal
court of this county. Lawyer Fries first
intended to appeal the case, but con-
cluded to apply for a pardon and pre-
dicted the release of the prisoner by
Christmas this year.
Hawkins recently became very Ill
threatened with tuberculosis. Dr. Gun
ningham testified to the convlcts weak
condition and thereupon Judge Greene
and Solicitors Bradley and Morrow rec
commended the pardon. which was
promptly granted.
Byars had frequently threatened to
kill Hawkins, who was afraid of Byars.
Hawkins armed himself with a pistol in
the mines at Dolomite and as he was at
work attending to his duties, Byars made
an assault on him with heavy stick and
Hawkins shot him in self-defense, us
he claimed. In the minds of many, this
plea was sustained, but the jury took a
different view Of the matter, If Haw-
kins is well enough he will spend Christ
mas with his mother at Dolomite.
