power to regulate the price and quality of
the gas without the destruction and incou-

THE MINING SITUATION.
Pittsburg Miners VIII Likely Work For
60 Cents During January.

Plttsburg Miners VIII Likely Work For
60 Cents During January.
PITTsBURG, Dec. l2.-Sixty cents a
ton for mining for January was the
only concession the operators would
give the miners.
P. II. Penna, Ed Mckay, George
Wilson, miners; j. o, Dysart, G. w.
Schleuderberg and j. A. O'Neil, opera
tors, were appointed committee to dis.
cuss rate for January. The operators
would not give more than 60 cents for
mining during the month, and the joint
convention adjourned.
The miners held a meeting after the
operators left the hall. A vote was
taken on the 60-cent rate for January,
which resulted in vote of AZ in favor
of accepting the rate, with II against
it. The delegate from the New York
and Cleveland mine did not vote. It
was decided that the men would go
back to their constituents to report. and
it is believed that the men will work
for go cents during the month.
The Ohio and Pittsburg operators will
meet Jan. Ia, either at Youngstown or
Cleveland, as the Pittsburg operators
will not go to Columbus for fear of
being outvoted or otherwise defeated.
The Ohio miners hold their convention
on JAM l2 at Columbus. Ohio miners
will not accept less than 6l cents next
year. Another joint convention OF
operators and miners of the Pittsburg
district will be held some time in

SENATOR QUAY OF PENNsYLvA.
MIA,

Stirs them up there way, when aroused
to say his say. And recently he had
himself interviewed and proclaimed him.
self adverse to 1.-THE entire scheme of the
National Business Mems league, as dis
closed by Mr.. Dolan." Mr.. Dolan is
wealthy manufacturer of Philadelphia,
and "the league is clique of rich men"
Of that city, who want to make Mr..
Wanamaker senator in place of Cameron.
Mr.. Quay's candidate is State Senator
Penrose OF Philadelphia. We extract
from the interview:
"No league of business men or other
men based upon wealth or other fou nda.
ton can erect government class in this
country. In the United States senate
we have millionaires and business men
enough to serve all legitimate imposes
Senators are needed who have no spec
ialties, but who will act for the inter
ests Of the country in gross without
special aftinities.
"The people most deserving of rep
resentation and most in need of legis-
lative protection are the farmers, the
small storekeepers, the artisans and the
laborers, and / stand by them and
against this so.called league. go into
the barricades with the bourgeois and
the men in blouses. The business issues
are making our politics sordid and cor
rupt. The tremendous sums of monev
furnished by business men, reluctantly
in most instances, are polluting the well
springs Of our national being"
1t seems Senator Quay's ire was stirred
because of James Pollock, member Of
the league, saying at public meeting at
Erie, Pa, November 2S:
ave are willing to have one man like
Quay; but we want one man who will not
be away fishing or drunk when import.
ant measures are up affecting our wei,

of the situation, and. ...in all likelihood
will have his own way this Mr.. Quay

Of all the political frauds in this land
of gambling in politics, John Sherman is
ahead. In his speech at Mckinley jolli-
fication meeting at Washington, he re-
peated the falsehood that silver was de.
monetized in 1858, and that the act of
1873 was wise and prudent. He dilated on
the depreciation Of silver, but, of course,
did not refer to the fact that silver was
the more valuable metal until after 1873.
This alone proves him falsifier as to
silver in 1858, 1t is of no use to multiply
words with such men who will so falsify
history. Truth liz too important these
times to be thus cast aside without hold
ng up to public scorn the base per-
verter. The welfare of the people of this
country has been sacrificed and the
rascality is to go on ii these men can
continue their policy by fraud and falsity.
These servitors of the mammon of un-
righteousness halt'at nothing. They re-
mind one of character of Walter
Scott's,
This Denzil vowed to every evil,
Might read lesson to the devil"

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can be Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its
nourishment. Nerve, sinew, blood are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect
the most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth,
gas in stomach and bowels, palpitation,
all-gope feeling faintness, headaches,
constipation; later comes loss of flesh,
consumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostration, all
of which are the indirect result Of poor
nutrition.
Amy person suffering from indigestion
should make 1t a practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, allowing 1t to dissolve In the
mouth and thus mipgle with the saliva
and enter the stomach In the most
natural way. These Tablets are highly
recommended by DIR. Jennison because
they are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essences which assist the
stomach In digesting all wholesome food
before 1t has time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full-sized packages 80 cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases

At the close of Mr.. Bryan's great ad-
dress before tie Star Lyceum in the
Central Presbyterian church on Novem-
ber Oath, at Denver, Colorado, Senator
Teller was called out. When he stepped
forward there was a storm of applause.
Senator Teller spoke with great earnest
ness and feeling. He said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: After the
warning given by the chairman to me of
being brief, 1 will not attempt to make a
speech to you. There are other ceremo-
nies in connection with the reception of
our great standard bearer that must be

to Colorado audience that l believe
this question which we have been con-
tending tor during the past three months
is the greatest question ever before the
American people. (Applause.) All

out that more governments have been
destroyed by lack of attention to this
question than any other cause.
