The Reason Why.

According To the Virginia Enterprise,
Mesabi range, the prospects Tor active
business st that place the coming sum
mer are not good. The trouble is that
Rockefeller has 80 cut the price of ore
that the independent" mines cannot
work. The name independent" is
hardly the appropriate one Tor the prop
critics outside Of the big concerns, and
tha future will show that they can he
anything but independent. The low
priced err will do damage 10 the Mesabi
as we'll as other ranges. The low-price
fever ia not a healthy one. IL viii leave
bad effects everywhere. IL viii result In
damage 10 capital and labor, and bring
wounds from which il will take some
time TO recover.
Rockefeller does not possess n steam
shovel property and he asks that wages
be kept up. IL anxious Tor the laborer
he should then insist upon keeping up
che price Of ore. With fair prices for ore
che miner can be paid decent wages and
make a decent living. Mr.. Rockefeller
is In better position 10 do business for
the fun OF the thing than Others ia the

BARTER OFBOSSES
Henry George Charges That Sew.

Have Been Sold.
Low Men Say the Republican Cry

Citizens Union Well Supplied
With Funds---Tammany's
Supreme Effort.

NKw YORK. Oct. 29 Henry George
ls supplying the greater part Of the
''ginger" that is being consumed in the
municipal campaign. His allegations
touching the integrity of the recognized
chiefs of both the leading parties are
exciting wide interest, though they are
met by those most directly concerned
with q showing of indifference. The
most specific of Mr.. Georges allegations
are that Roger A. Pryor paid Richard
Croker $15, ZOO for the judgeship he
aow holds; that $22, 900 was paid for
seat upon the bench for Judge In
graham, and that other judicial Offices
were made the object OF barter by the
30 called political bosses. Judge Pryor
has made categorical denial that he
paid or caused to, be paid, directly or
indirectly any sum whatsoever, for the
nomination, and like denial has been
made by others of the judges involved
in Georges allegation.
If George is doing great deal of
talking, SO are Tracy and Low, though
the latter are less sensational and per.
sonal in their utterances. The only ex.
ception to the rule of volubility among
the mayorality candidates is Van
Wyck, whose 'star" speech, delivered
before the Independence Hall Democ-
racy was limited to 30 words of com.
monplace acknowledgment of hearty
greeting.
In the event Of the defeat Of Seth
Low it will not be possible, in the light
of the statement given out by the citi-
zens' union treasurer, j. Kennedy Todd,
to allege that failure Of the non.parti.
san movement was the result of inade-
quate financial support. Mr.. Todd says
that the union has been supplied with
funds beyond its actual needs, and ru.
NOR has it that the total of contribu.
tions to the cause is about 81, 100000.
Tammany's supreme effort in the way
Of mass meetings was that Of this even.
ing. 1t brought out both home and i'm.
ported speakers, among the latter being
]. B. Eustis of Louisiana, formeri :
United States senator and later United
States ambassador to France, and Car
ter Harrison, the young mayor of Chi
cago. The latter, who came with q
band and $50 members of the Cook
County Democratic Marching club, was
the object of greater interest, though
he was only scheduled to talk for half
an hour, while Mr.. Eustis talked twice
as long.
