"1n all questions of manners a young
man should always remember that
while politeness is good trait to ac-
quire, courtesy is infinitely better"
writes Edward Box on "What Makes Il
Gentleman" in the July Ladies' Home
journal. "Politeness is manners. but
courtesy is heart. Mingling in good
society can give us that veneer which
the world calls polish of manners, and
true politeness is not to be made little
OF nor scoffed at. Politeness is fine
art, but it is an art pure and simple, even
at its best Infinitely better is the cul-
tivation OF that courtesy OF refinement
which enters into the feelings of others
and holds them sacred. What we want
our young men to have is courtesy of
manner not regulated by social code or
professional censor. 1t is idle to say
that courtesy is relic of old-fashioned
days and is no longer looked on. II is
as much the current coin of good society
as it ever was. More than any other
element or grace in our lives, it is in
stantly felt and recognized, and has an
unfailing influence. 1t calls for respect
as nothing else does. Courtesy of man
her and courtesy of speech are the gifts
a young man should cultivate"

What is the most important and most
valuable of the products of the mines of
this or of any country? Is it gold? BY
no means. 1t is coal. Coal is potential
energy. 1t supplies the essential force
OF industry and commerce as we'll as Of
naval warfare, and no other one thing
measures q nations wealth producing
capacity so well as its production Of
coal.
This is one Of the foundations OF
the wealth and power of Great Britain,
which has long been the foremost coal
producing country in the world. The
second is the United States, and last
year our coal production came so close
to that OF Great Britain that it is
reasonably sure soon to surpass it. The
latter has averaged, for several years,
about 100000 tons. The coal pro-
duction Of the United States in 1897
was over 200, 900, 900 tons.
This was an increase OF about l2,-
0OO, 900 over 1896, though the gain in
value was but 90, ,250, 900, the average
value Of bituminous coal at the mines
being only 81 cents ton,
When we consider the important part
that coal has already been shown "

WILL MAKE DEMAND TO-DAY.
At the Miners Convention Held in Al.
toona New Scale was Formulated.


Tho delegates from the bituminous
coal mines from district No. 9. met in
Altoona on Thursday. July 18th, aud
after few hours work, formulated u
scale Of prices to take effect July both.
The demand will be made to-day.
Though the delegates numbered but
tbirty-six in all. they represented $4,000
miners in the district, each delegate
speaking for 500 or | 900 men. Among
the delegates were five Huns, who rep
resented $500 non-EDglish speaking

ening influence ON the convention,
since IL was accepted rs an indication
that the foreign miners are being edu-
Gated in American methods. and mean
to stand by their English-speaking fell
low workmen in the coming struggle.
The readiness Of the foreign miners to
accept any wages has been Il serious
drawback TO the cause Of organized
labor in past years.
The credit for the evangeiization of
the Poles and Huns belongs to the
officers aud executive committee Of dis
trict No. .. IL has been difficult and
tiresome work. but constant and ju-
dicious methods have brought an APP
preciablo result Tho Huns and Poles
have been addressed from time to time
on labor topics in their own tongues.
The theory of organization has been
hammered into them by labor pcriodi-
Gals printed in their own languages.
Finally, they were organized by fellow
countrymeu, and they now profess to
stand ready to engage in the struggle
for living wages.
CONVENTION OPENS.
The convention was called to order at

Reynoldsville. and Secretary James
Kilduf, Of Gallit2in. Delegates exclu-
sively were admitted to the convention

VOTE FOR REGULAR NOMINEES

The candidates for election to the
city board OF education are good men.
It would be a graceful acknowledge
ment If worth to elect them all today.
In four Of the precincts this is pos
sible In the Second there are two
candidates. Only one can be elected.
Mr.. NJ H. Walker was the first in
the field. He was duly chosen by a
regularly called and properly con-
Quoted convention of qualified electors.
No better selection could have been
made No fault has been found with
the nominee or the manner of his nom
ination.
Yet an opposition candidate has been
named. Why?
one explanation is that it was not
convenient Tor Mr.. Angus M. Cannon
to attend the precinct convention at
the time it was held. Another is that,
although he was otherwise engaged for
that evening, the place Of meeting did
not suit him.
This may explain to the satisfaction
of a few why Mr.. Walker has an OPP
ponent but it does not contain the
barest suggestion of a reason why Mr..
Walker should be opposed.
Mr. NJ. Il. Walker was regularly NOM
mated, after a contest in the. conven-
ton. From the moment he received
his nomination he was entitled to the
support of the voters of the precinct,
provided no valid cause for defeating
him was shown.
And UP to the morn of election day
the opposition has found no ground
upon which to stand.

events Of the war. Other parts of the
message are without feature and de-
void Of any suggestions. except such as
originate with subordinates.. The pres
ident has apparently no settled policy
concerning the new possessions. nor
the currency; or, if he has any, has
carefully refrained from declaring it.
Those who expected a thoughtful and
a statesmanlike expression from him
at this time, have reason to feel disap-
pointed"
Every Democrat who reads the mes
sage will surely agree with Senator
Rawlins in his criticism.
Senator Cannon, representing the Re-
publicans Of Utah at Washington, says:
"On the subject of a financial policy.
the message is most Indicative, and it
is likely to send severe chills to the
marrow of those credulous citizens who
have believed and voted that the Re-
publican party would restore the free
coinage of silver The last pretense of
friendship toward bimetallism for the
United States would seem to have been
abandoned and the evident desire and
purpose of the president is to insure
the safety Of the gold standard, and to
effect currency reform on some such
plan as that of the McCleary bill If
this purpose shall be carried out the
term of President McKinley's admins
tration win comprehend the history of
two events-the liberation OF the serfs
of Spanish power and the enslavement
of American freemen."
Every Republican in the state ought
to agree with the senator. All who
study the message carefully, and with
out favor, are very apt to acknowledge,
10 themselves at least, that both SEN
ators are right.

CHANCES IN HAWAI-

Robert w. Single of Honolulu. who
was Hawaiian commissioner to the
Omaha exposition, is in New York Citv
where he has been piled with MANY
questions from men and women of al
most every station concerning the bust
ness and employment opportunities in
the islands.
He has established a bureau of in
formation at Gotham, where he dis

for Hawaiians are not encouraging in
discriminate immigration.
There may be some in the west who
desire to avail themselves of the earli-
est openings, and for their benefit The
Herald reproduces. from the New York
Tribune, portion of an interview with
Mr.. Single. He said:
1.-THE United States soldiers on their
way to Manila were royalty entertained
in Honolulu, and many of them wrote
back to their relatives and friends here
about their reception. These ca,ses
have tended TO draw many persons
from the United States to Hawaii
Many of them had an entirely false
view of the islands. They thought that
it would be easy to earn a livelihood
there directly upon lending. Some
went ashore with almost no money, and
soon became charge on the Ha-
waiians. A few were sent back to
their homes with money raised by sub

Mr.. Single then goes on to describe
the class of settlers he is after. what
we want" he says, ''is men who have
some little capital and experience, who
know what business they want to en-
gage in, and have some aptitude for it.
Sugar is now the chief product of the
islands, but its cultivation requires cap
ital. This is also true of rice. 1 be-
leve that coffee is becoming the staple
of the islands, and it can be cultivated
by persons who start in with only a
few thousand dollars. Pineapples, ba-
nanas and other fruits also require only
a small capital. The government makes
liberal inducements to settlers. 1t ex-
empts them from taxation for five
years, and offers them public lands on
excellent terms. Five or eight acres
may be had for nothing; larger areas
can be bought for from So to $40 an
acre. 1t is possible to lease large plots
for three years and then to buy them
at the original figure, provided that %
per cent has been developed"

ONE HINT OF A POLICY.

Among the departmental reports rec
commended to congress in the closing
paragraph of the presidents message
is that of Secretary Wilson, the admin
istration farmer.
Strange as it may appear, he comes
as near outlining foreign policy as
does any of his fellow secretaries, and
nearer than the president.
Discussing agricultural resources in
the new island acquisitions, the secre-
tary says:
In the territories recently brought
under the control of the United States
government, the agricultural interests
urgently call for attention by this de-
partment. Hawaii and the West India
Islands, depend almost exclusively for
their prosperity upon their agricultural
productions. 1t behooves the depart
ment, therefore, to place itself at the
earliest possible moment in a position
/ to extend to the agriculturists of those
territories which have or may come
under the United States flag the serv-
ices and benefits which it renders to
the farmers of the United States. The
increased trade relations which may
be looked for between the United
states and its insular dependencies,
moreover, render the conditions of ag-
riculture in the latter and the charac-
ter and extent of their productions
matters of profound interest to the
people of the United States. In the
interest of our own agriculture, not
only must the agricultural resources of
these islands be studied closely and
intelligently, but the dangers which
threaten agriculture in these territor-
les in the form of plant diseases or
insect pests must be made the subject
of special investigation with view to
provide agriculture there with pre-
ventive or remedial agencies, and also
to secure our own agriculture from the
possibility Of their introduction into
this country. II is urgently necessary,
therefore, that congress should as
speedily as possible provide a sufficient
fund for the use of this department in
making such Investigations as may be
necessary into the agricultural re-
sources and conditions in Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
He wants an emergency appropria-
ton and he contemplates scientific ex-
ploration and experimentation at an
early date.
In truth, there is more foreign policy
in this than can be discovered in the
presidents message-especially in rela-
ton to the islands taken from Spain.

1t is rumored that there is to be a
secret opposition to Mr.. Critchlow in
the First precinct today; that an un-
demanded campaign has been made
against him, and that a mysterious
candidate will receive a certain. sup
port at the polls. Such rumors are hard
to credit. Mr.. Critchlow's record enti-
ties him to reelection. In the con-
vention an opportunity was given to
defeat him. Those who opposed him
there agreed to abide by the result.
Where this alleged opposition comes
from, of what stuff tbs made, no one
has said. If it materializes it has been
conceived in hiding, nurtured in the
dark, and it deserves defeat for cow
ardtce and shamefacedness if for no
other reason.
