Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1897-07-03


Several of the silver senators have
openly avowed their unalterable HOSTILE
ty to the creation Of commission, and
Teller has declared that he would re-
main here until December to defeat it.
This being the situation it Is understood
that some Of the members of the eX-
ecutive committee Of the Indianapolis
convention are now inclined to believe
that it would perhaps be a mistake to
press their request for the creation Of
commission by congress. The better and
wiser thing to do some of them now
think, would be to withdraw their re-
quest for commission and use the
provisional power vested In the commit
tee by the Indianapolis convention and
themselves select commission to inves-
tigate the currency question and pres
ent their conclusion through the public
press.

pl0yed in the Mines.
Spring Valley, July 3.-The miners of
this city held q meeting in the Opera
House and voted unanimously to obey
the order OF the national executive
board Of the United Mine Workers of
America to mine no more coal after
July 4. The miners are not the only ones
that will Quit work. but all the employees
of the company whose wages rise and
decline when the wages Of the miners
Is affected have also been asked to come
out. That means that all the company
men, trappers. and even the cagers, who
have charge OF the hoisting cars, will also
come out.
This puts a serious aspect upon the
situation, for IL the mines are allowed to
remain idle without the constant atten-
ton Of the company's men 1t will not
take long for them to cave. The miners
Of this city are very determined. They
have had their wages reduced nearly 60
per cent. in the past four years, and as
cents a day 10 hardly the average. To-
day is their last day for work. The men
went into the mines this morning to fix
up their rooms and take out their tools
determined to remain out until the oper.
ators concede their demands. In the
meantime all kinds Of business In the
city win be effected.
Brazil. IND. July 3-!The calling OF a
general strike has caused much aeita.

aroused over the announcement that the
United Mine Workers have ordered a
strike for July 4. and the presidents and
managers OF several Of the big companies

their mines in Illinois and Missouri to
look into the situation. The consensus
OF opinion among the operators IL that
the strike will be q long one that as

executive board said the word that It b
claimed will make nearly 100000 men

Pittsburg, July 3.-District President
Patrick Dolan, Of the miners organiza-
ton. in commenting on the Columbus
circular. said yesterday: 1T will re-
main with the convention OF miners to-
morrow to decide whether q strike shall
be inaugurated in this district or not.
The circular contains only q recon-
mendatfon of the officials OF the United
Mine Workers. II 1t is decided to strike
I will do all in my power to make it
general" A number Of operators were
seen during the day but none appeared
to be worrying over the probability of a
strike. They are Of the opinion that a
strike at this time cannot be made gen.
eral. Some say they will pay the ad-
vance, and can do SO and make money
provided the majority of the mines are
closed. The miners leaders believe, how
ever, that IL the convention orders a
strike they will be able to bring out all
the miners. whether they are working
under contract or not.

about a third Of the estimate sent out
from Columbus. Knight says the object
Of the strike Is to clear out the markets
and enable the operators to pay living
wages to their men. He declares 1t is
not a war on operators and the miners
do not SO regard 1t. They admit, ac-
cordina to Knight. that the operators
are not responsible for the present ag-
gravated condition of affairs, but are
like the men they employ-the victims of
ever-production and under-consump-
ton. Knight says that while the miners
may not be especially hopeful as to the
outcome Of the strike. they feel sure
they have nothing to lose and trust they
may gain something. II Is believed the
block coal miners will also Join TIE

CURRENCY is NEXT
SOME DIFFICULTY IN THE SENATE,

Where One Man Can Say What Shall Not
BE Done-Teller and Other Silver Mon
Opposed to . President
Committed Thereto = Reciprocity and
Retaliation Added to the TARIFF Bill
fhurston's Antf-Trust Measure.
Washington. July 3. The question
whether the president will send q spe-
the creation Of a CURRENCY commission
will be definitely decided next week.
The president is strongly inclined at this
time to sent a special currency message
to congress. regarding himself as in a
considerable measure pledged to this
course. In fact it was officially
announced at the White House late yes
terday afternoon that such a message
would be sent to congress next week.
but some of the presidents most in
fluential advisers on financial questions
are opposed to a message as impolitic at
this time, owing to hostility to a COM
mission on the part Of congress. and
the final determinatin. as stated. will
not be reached until McKinley's return
from Canton. The executive committee
Of the Indianapolis sound money" con-
vention has been actively advocating
the commission Scheme ever since the
advent OF the present administration.
President Committed to the Idea.
1t had also the sympathy Of the presi-
dent, who committed himself to it in his
inaugural. President Mckinley, how
yer, did not care to recommend it to
congress while the tariff bill WAS nend-
ing, lest it might complicate and delay
action upon the measure. But all along
the chief difficulty which presented it
self to those who favored a commission
for the investigation of the currency
system has been the opposition it would
encounter in congress. While a bill for
the creation Of a commission could east
ly be passed in the house, where factious
opposition would be unavailing against
the operation of a cloture order that
would bring it to vote. such opposition
In the senate might be almost intermin-
able.

Secretary Gage Mt Work.

If those conclusions We're such> as the
administration could subscribe to they
could be made the basis Of an adminis-
tration measure, modified as Secretary
Gage, conducting an independent inves-
tigation, might suggest. The secretary
has been at work for some time on a
comprehensive currency reform scheme.
and some suggestion has been made as
to the wisdom Of not having a further
agitation Of the question, but of per-
hitting Gage. who has the full conf
dence Of business men generally, to
frame a measure after such consultation
as he may desire with f1nanciers, busi-
ness men, members Of the house and
senate and others.
Will Go Over Till Next Week.
The matter was under discussion at
the cabinet meeting yesterday, but not
in a manner to lead to a definite con-
clusion or policy, and the matter went
over until the presidents return to the
city next week. when it is probable that
H. H. Hanna, who is chairman Of the
executive committee of the Indianapolis
convention, and perhaps other members
Of the committee, will come to Wash
ington and discuss the situation with
the president and Gage. Upon the re-
suit of the conference will probably de-
pend President McKinley's action as to

witty and Wise.

Lord Bowen, who died in 1894,
was an English Judge whom his
country will not soon forgot, for he
was not only just and learned man,
but q brilliant one. His humorous
and witty sayings live in the mem
ory of his friends, and, though only
a few of them may have been chron-
icled, they are an earnest of all the
rest.
One day some one in his presence
referred to tho fact that publisher
who was noted for his hard bargains
with authors had built church at
his own expense.
'Ah," quoted Bowen at once, "tho
old storyl The blood of martyrs is
the seed Of the ohurchl" Some
times his wit had delicate flavor of
hattery, as when he assured some la
dies who had climbed a perilous AL
pine peak that they had solved a
problem which Ind vexed medieval
schoolmen-how many angels could
stand on tho point of n needle.
Again, it had satiric touch. AT
Hamburg the Prince of Wales kept,
or tried to keep, faithless little
dog, which persisted in running
away.
"That's the only creature here, 1"
said Bowen, (which does not run
after the Prince of Wales"
Again, his fellow judges submitted
to him the draft of an address to
royalty which began with the ex-
preston, CONSCIOUS as we are of
our shortcomings"
Exception was taken to the humil-
fty of this phrase as not at all rep
resenting the tenor of the judicial
mind, and Bowen demurely suggest
ed, Suppose we substitute, Con-
soious as we are of one another's

BoltlnE Our Food.

There is undoubtedly great deal
10 be said in favor of the opinion
that a considerable portion Of the
illness i'll this country is caused by
the unpleasant habit of eating too
rapidly. OF course we all know and
have at times q very painful expert
ence of the fact that this is high
pressure age and al is done at ex-
press speed, but this surely ought
not to be the oase with our meals.
1t is interesting, but not pretty, to
watch the business man when he
goes into restaurant for his lunch
con. 1t is with him looked upon In
the light of duty and not a pleas
ure. He must eat, and he feels that
he has only few minutes to devote
to the operation, go that he may be
back at his office with all possible
speed. He attacks his food savage
ly, gulps down his beer or wine, and
when the last sad rites are over he
pays and bolts-in fact, it is case
Of bolting from beginning to end.
Every doctor will tell you that peo-
pie should eat slowly and occupy
the time pleasantly with conversa-
ton. In this way we shall live
longer and enjoy better health and
greater ability to cope with the
world. New York Ledger.
