City Improvements.

There are three things needed 10
be done at once. til, building of an
electric light plant, the improvement
of the back street by the livery stable,
aud the construction of a reservoir
large enough to hold n sufficiency of
water for the town supply. All of
these improvements are seriously
needed, aud it is question which is
needed the most. When on the
street, at night, when there is no
moon we feel certain the electric
light is most needed. When dry
weather comes, or n ere occurs we
think water is the greatest need.
When we walk down the back street,
and see the unsightly condition of
things, and realize the danger to the
health of the town, we know that
work should be done here first. The
town Council have these things
under consideration, we believe, aud
no doubt some forward step will be
taken along these lines.

STATE COMMITTEE.
It's Proceedings Highly
Commended.

The work of the Democratic State
Committee has been we'll dcne. We
hear of no note of dissatisfaction
from any quarter on any question
that the committee has acted upon.
The basis of representation that
has obtained in our State Conven-
tions fo1 many years has been re
tained; but, instead of taking the
last gubernatorial vote therefor, the
last presidential vote was adopted.
This will result in making our next
convention about the size of those
that have lately preceded it. Had
the O'Ferrall vote been taken as the
basis of representation, the conven-
tion would be composed of 1879
members, whereas by taking the
Bryan vote the convention will be
composed Of 1850 members. So tue
the latter number, more nearly than
the former opproximates in size the
convention of four years ago. which
was composed 1,640 members.
In hotel corridors and in private
rooms, where little knots of Demo-
Gratis were gathered Thursday night,
our next platform was often the sub
iect of conversation So far as We
know there was 20 division of senti
ment amonB those present as to the
propriety of endorsing ard reaflirm-
ing the free silver plank of the Chic
ago platform, but it was thought by
some of the leaders that it would not
be necessary to endorse and reaffirm
the Chicago platform in its entirety.
Along this line H. l.. W., the special
correspondent fer the Washington
Post, telegraphs as follows:
Talks with members of the State
Committee tonight indicate that the
next campaign of the State will DE
fought over the silver question.
This is very largely because there
are no local issues of importance in
the State, and also because the Leg
islature elected, with the Governor
next fall will choose a successor TO
Senator Daniel. All the leaders of
the party favor making the free coin.
age of silver issue the paramount
one in the campaign. The Chicago
platform will be reaffirmed.
"Senator Daniel, when asked to-
night by the Post correspondent
whether the platform would be en-
dorsed in its entirety, replied that he
, believed it would be. If. however
he added, there should be any ques-
tion about bringing in extraneous
matter, we will simply reafiirm the
platform and single out for especial
attention the four principle planks-
silver, tariff, income-tax, and trusts
Those are the dominant issues, anC
upon them we will make our fight
"There is a belief among some o
the Democrats that if governmen
ownership of railroads, and the con
demnation of the Supreme Court are
again emphasized, some disadvantage

GDrsicana, Texas, July 5.-NIr NJ. II.
Booth, who lives just outside the city
limits, has made discovery which
may develop into great thing for
Corsicana and Texas. He brought to
this city specimen of Ignite coal and
placed it on exhibition yesterday. The
strata of Ignite says Mr.. Booth, was
found just outside the city limits, and
so far MS have examined into the mat
ter, extends quite distance. The coal
burns well after having been lighted,
making hot fire but Mr.. Booth eXper
fenced some difficulty in applying the
torch on his first effort to fire the coal.
He is Of the belief that he has struck
rich vein from which development
will produce not only an immense
amount of coal but great fortunes. The
strata which has been discovered is of
a thickness of four feet from which
Mr. Booth took his specimen that was
brought to this city.

Washington. July 5.-The outlook for
the week in the senate is quite uncer-
tain. There is every probability that
the tariff bill will be passed, but wheth-
er early or late in the week is by no
means certain. The various provisions
for Il stamp tax, for beet sugar boun-
ty and for the suppression of trusts
threaten to develop considerable de-
bate, and there is Il prospect of general
speeches by Senators Bate, Mills, Chill
ton, Allen and others.
Senator Allison has given notice of
an effort to secure night sessions to-
day or tomorrow. The PRESENT indica-
tlons are that there will be deter
mined effort to force the committee on
finance to restore the sugar bounty
provision, and upon the success or fail
IRE Of this effort probably will largely
depend the length of time 'yet to be
consumed in the senate.
The republican members of the senate
committee ON finance held session
yesterday and decided to offer no more
amendments to the tariff bill and also
not to re-introduce the beet sugar
amendment. 1t is understood the COM
mittee will make no united or deter
mined effort to prevent the acceptance
of the amendment as offered by Mr..
Allen. but that republican senators will
be left free to support or not, as they
may see fit. The Indications are now
that n majority of them will support
the amendment, Notwithstanding the
committees action in withdrawing it.
1t appears that the bounty provision
was authorized by one of the republi-
can senators feel bound ON this account
to stand by the provision. even though
II be offered by the opposition.
The democrats, however, will oppose
the amendment determinedly. The sit
/ uution is full of many possibilities. and
the end can not he predicted until this
| question is settled.

STRIKE Is on TODAY.
ACTION OF PITTSBURG DISTRICT
MINERS WILL HAVE EFFECT.
Apprehension as to Foreigners - No
Restraining Influences of Any Kind to
Check Them-walkout win be General
Other News.

pittsburg Pa, July 5.-rhe coal min
ers' strike will be on today. The sue
cess of the struggle for higher wages
in five States depends on the miners
in the pittsburg district. If they fail
to retain from working the movement
will he failure. Fully 100 mines were
represented at the miners convention
on Saturday by fifty-siX delegates. The
resolution adopted was strong enough
for the emergency.
resolution was also adopted re
Questng Governor Hastings to sign
the weighing and coal commission
bills passed by the legislature and now
before him.
one of the significant points before
the convention Saturday was the fact
that representatives were present from
the mines where ronclad contracts and
signed agreements exist These mines
employ almost 1000 men, and the indi-
cations are that if the men at one of
these mines refuse to quit, all the dig
gers at the others will act accordingly.
a strong effort is being made to get
the cO-opeatiOn of the miners along
the river in the coming fight. If they
work they can cut quite figure in
supplying coal, as the fuel for local
points can all be supplied by water
routes
The operators are making no effort
to consulate the miners.
Great apprehension is felt as to
what course the vast number of fore
igners will take in the strike. Many of
those speak no English, and care moth
ing for the land of their adoption,
They do not conform to the customs of
the American speaking miners, and the
latter has very little influence over
them.
one of the points made by the opera
tors is that more mining companies
have gone into the hands of the sheriff
this year than any year in the history
of the trade.
"There are too many miles," said
Patrick Dolan, president of the min
ers' organization, but not too many
miners 1t is the surplus of operators
that causes such sutfcrings and low
wages"
The officials of the United Mine
Workers of the Pittsburg district held
II meeting yesterday and heard reports
from various parts If the district Each
of these indicated that the men would
quit work.
The question of securing sustenance
for the vast army of idle men is the
most serious one confronting the Off
cials. The organization has no money
in its treasury. The miners have been
unable to save anything, and only
those who have little garden patches
will be able to live inpendently during
the cessation of work. The exodus
from the fourth pool to West Virginia
has begun. The West Virginia opera,
tors are hiring miners as fast as they
apply for work. Those wish immunity
from trouble seek safety by flight into
West Virginia, where the miners will
work unmolested. Scores of small
mines in Beaver, Cambria and other
counties, which have been practically
idle, will resume operations in full to
supply coal to factories and shops in
their districts. During the strike of
1894 all these mines We're closed down.
