DIR. ENMENs' KLONDIK e.

The claim of DR.. Emmens that he has
succeeded in transforming silver into
gold while it has not been and is not
likely to be accepted by science, is in
line with the most advanced specula-
ton of some of the best of living chem
lists. Henry Smith Williams, writing
of THE Century's Progress in Chemis-
try for Harper's, advances ideas that
might have been elaborated with the
work of the newest of the alchemists in
mind. Early in the century the theory
was suggested by Prout that the atom,
of Dalton fame,E was not the final
ANALYSIS of matter, and that, as atoms
were combined in 1the molecule, so
might the atom itself be made up of
still smaller subdivisions. Hydrogen
was selected as the. most likely ele-
ment as the basis of all matter, the re-
sultant atom having distinctive prop
critics. according Ito architectural struc-
ture. lust as atoms of carbon, without
loss of their distinctiye character, may
be conformed in suehi form as to pro-
duce almost anything from gas to
the diamond. 81
This hypothesis has never been ac-
cepted, and, so okar as chemistry has
been able to demonstrate, the atom re-
mains the basis Of the chemical ele-
ments; but the latest experiments,
while they have not proved the point
contested for by Prout, not only have
not disproved 1t, but have given en-
couragement to those who hold to its
truth. If the theory of Prout is cor
rect. DR.. Emmens, if he manufactured
gold at all, could have done so only
by the process described. 1t would only
be a matter of. finding d means for
rearranging the smaller structures that
60 to make up an atom. If DR.. En-
mems has made gold, as he claims, he
has succeeded in demonstrating the

MAKING NEW CITIZENS.
Judges Are Still Keeping Up the
Good Work.

A meeting of the voters of the Third

OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE.

Lie HS uIeS given 10 the puDllc by
the regular Democratic city committee
concerning registration and naturaliza-
ton are fairly appalling. They show
that there are 10000 voters who par
ticipated in the election last year and
are not entitled to vote next spring
unless they take out their second pa
pers. While over LOO have already
completed their naturalization, vet
these are the first fruits of vigorous
crusade and constitute only about one
sixth of the whole number 1t will re-
Quire almost superhuman effort to To-
cate these people, and to bring them
to the courts to be made voters Those
who have engaged in the work say
that it is the most difficult in their DO
men who have resided here and voted
at every election for from ten to twen-
ty-five years actually cannot be made
to believe that they are in danger of
disfranchisement. They laugh at the
idea that their votes can be taken
away from them, and refuse to take
any steps toward procuring their sec
ond papers. The great bulk, however,
are simply rather Indifferent. 1t is a
matter requiring some time and trou-
ble, and they do not particularly care
whether they are naturalized or not
AS we have said before, it is most
iro1T1 aot ho nf ho oil
as well as for fair test of public opin-
ion next spring, that this matter be at
tended to, and that every voter not
now fully naturalized should be per-
suaded to take out his second papers
before the 1st of January Good work
has already been done along this line
and incidentally it has been productive
of other excellent results. The neces-
sity of getting after these Indifferent
and recalcitrant voters has brought
Democrats together at a time in. the
year when they are not usually looking
after political work or taking counsel
with each other This has been the
moving cause of series of small meet
ings, in which Democrats have met
with one another, exchanged ideas and
taken the initial steps toward the COM
ing municipal campaign.
We would be very glad to see this
movement spread throughout the whole
city General political meetings of
large scope at the present time are un-
dacira h1a There iS nothing for them
to consider, and they are apt to be,
under such circumstances, prolific of
misunderstanding and to be the
starting point of plans and movements
which later experience would show to
be unwise and unfortunate. Ward and
precinct meetings, however-neighbor-
hood meetings, so to speak-of good
Democrats who understand the situa-
ton, who see the party's opportunity
and wish to take counsel with one an
other, are an excellent thing, produc-
tive of harmony and efficient to arouse
end keep awake party interest suffi-
GENTLY long in advance to bring out a
full vote next year. There ought to be
such consultation and assembly of
Democrats in every election district in
the city, making their first business the
completion of the list of registered
voters and their second the strength
ening of Democratic ideas and the as
surance of harmony and enthusiasm in
the Democratic ranks.

It is now believed that hog cholera is not a
germ disease, but is caused by improper feed
ing.-Faribault Democrat.
Perhaps; but we have the authority of an
eminent D. V. S. that "one-twentieth of the
disease originated from inbred distinctive
ness" so that there would be nineteen-twen-
tieths left for what the same learned doctor
ascribes to where hogs have been fed to
fulfill the amount of 2OO." Perhaps the doc
tor was only trying to say what the Demo-
crat says.

Farming doesn't look to be the hard work
it was a few years ago. When We drive by
fields and see men, and even young ladies,
riding on spring sulky plows, or hay
rakes, doing great deal more work than
was possible under the old system, and not
even raising a sweat, it looks as if they
ought to enjoy health and happiness if any
one does.-Delano Gazette.

Getting "corned" on beer and getting

things, fact the brewers should be made

LONDON. Aug. A-The South African
policy OF the British government was
subject 70 an attack In the house OF COM
mons to-day by Sir William Lawson,
Liberal who also gave cecIl Rhodes a
sharp prodding. Calling attention to the
attitude of the secretary of state for the
colonies. Mr.. Chamberlain. towards
South Africa, Sir wilfrid Lawson class
ed the latter's policy as being danger
Gus and destructive 10 our reputation
abroad"
Referring to Cecil Rhodes, Sir wllfrId
remarked that the ex-premier OF Cape
Colony was guilty OF ''treachery, be-
trayal OF his sovereign, and disloyalty to
his colleagues" p
Continuing, Sir Wilfrid explained that
Mr.. Rhodes guilt consisted Of falsely
dating a letter which was very like n
forgery, involving bloodshed, murder
and confusion in many parts Of the
world"
"Yet," continued Sir Wilfrid. "all has
been endorsed by Mr.. Chamberlain, who
has placed the house OF commons in the
degrading position OF declaring Mr..
Rhodes to be an honorable man, thus
making Great Britain the laughing stock
OF all nations"
Mr. Chamberlain, replying to Sir Will
frid Lawson. declined TO reopen "ques-
tions which were regarded a5 settled"
He added: "As TO submitting disputes
with tho Transvaal 10 arbitration. II
would be an extraordinary course to sub
nit to a foreign tribunal O dispute be-

PITTSBURGH Aug, 4.-one OF the
notable features Of the strike Of the
miners has been the absence OF effort by
the operators to get their miners to
work. There has been no meeting by
them to consider the situation, nor have
there been any attempts TO start the
mines with new men. This was ex-
plalned to-day by an operator, who said
he Is satisfied to have the strike con-
tinue until January as he has enough

which viii enable him to make profit

to be we'll stocked with Pittsburgh coal.
and by reason of almost continuous

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 4-Three
prominent business men of this city
have been arrested and bound over to
the October term OF court charged with
conspiracy to defrnud the National
Loan and Investing company, OF De-
troit, one OF the largest concerns OF Its
kind In the country. The case promises
TO be n sensational one, owing to the
prominence OF the accused and the
amount claimed to have beensecured by
them, which is said to be in the neigh
borhood OF 100000. The men charged
with the fraud nre W. NJ. Benham.
well known attorney; d. W. Jones, a
teller in the Pittsburgh bank Of savings
and VIM. S. Greene, secretary OF the
Calumet coal and coke company.
a prominent East End real estate
dealer is also said to be implicated, but
as yet has not been arrested, The infor-
nation accuses the defendants of using
the means in devising a scheme to de-
fraud.
1t is charged that Benham acted as
attorney for the Detroit company and
the other two as appraisers In placing
mortgages, and by conniving together
the company was induced TO advance
big money on property which had only
n nominal value. The scheme Ia said TO
have been in operation for months.

which are rivals OF the Mt Clemens

there but an expause Of dark red. The

leased several dead walls In this city

from the public and officers OF the bath
