DINGLEY POKES HIS BILL IN.

Representative Dingley believes in
reciprocity. The Republicans of Utah
gave his tariff such a warm and en-
phatic endorsement that he feels duty
bound to espouse their post election
campaign against the congressman
elect from this state.
Mr.. Dingley has joined the local agi-
tators, it seems, in the effort to work
up a sentiment against the people of
Utah, to wreak partisan vengeance
upon the business interests of the state,
to carry out policy of rule or ruin.
And, while this highly moral repre-
sentative of the great moral party" is
shocked at the mention Of ''polygamy,"
he has long known OF the peculiar con-
ditions in this commonwealth. He
knew of them before the admission of
the state; he has know of them since.
But this is the first time partisan
point could be raised in regard to the
matter Mr.. Dingley knew of this
few weeks ago. when the applications
for the Logan and Provo postcffice ap-
pointments were up for consideration.
He was Moderator of the Presbyterian
General Assembly at the time, and an
especial fight was made then, as it is
now, by the Presbytery. But the ap-
pointment, in each instance, was given
to what the organ Of the opposition is
pleased to call an active polygamist."
They were Republicans, however.
Even Mr.. Dingley, for a long time
one of the highest officers in the eccle-
siastical organization which began this
fight some weeks ago in Utah, admits
that B. H. Roberts is entitled to be
seated if he bear the proper creden-
tails.
The only point that Mr. Dingley tries
to make is that he might afterwards
be expelled from the house. So might
be any member, for that matter. But
when B. H. Roberts is seated in con-
gress, his status will be defined, his
right recognized. Should members IN
dertake his expulsion on the untried
charge of having committed a INSIDE
meanor in the state of Utah and under
the laws of Utah, it would be an inter
esting precedent to establish, indeed.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Dingley is talking for effect; that
he is doing his religious duty to the Re
publicans of Utah, as he understands it,
but that he has no faith in. his own
predictions.

is THE COMPANY A MYTH?

Now comes the Chicago Chronicle
with another version of John W.
Young's Paris syndicate. The story is
treated by the Chronicle as "one of
many desperate attempts to make the
public believe that immense pecuniary
benefits are to be derived from the &C
QUESTION of territory by one nation
from another"
Each proposal of the alleged syndi-
cate is taken up and considered. But
the Chronicle is prejudiced. This is
very evident. Or else it knows nothing
of the resources of Utah's great pro-
moter.
1t says: 'Tt is tolerably safe to as
sumo that this company is a myth, and
that the whole story is concocted. to
make people in this country believe
that as a straight business proposition
the Philippine islands are worth $780,
COO, 900 in cash"
The company may be a myth, but the
scheme is feasible. 1t has been tried
by English syndicates, and proven a
success, not only beneficial to the gov
eminent and the colonies, but profit
able to the companies.
Many responsibilities complications,
Instructions, men and dollars might be
saved by beginning with the colonies
in this way.

holm writes of iron mining and the
lives of miners. At the principal mines
the boring is carried on by hand, with
steel rods which are pounded ON top
with steel-headed hammer. In these
holes dynamite is placed and exploded.
The amount of mixed ore and rock
loosened by each kilogram (2.2 pounds)
of dynamite used averages u tons,
each ton representing an average of
1913 feet bored. The detached pieces are
reduced by hammers to sizes that will
admit of their being readily handled.
The ordinary miner makes on an aver
age about 5000 per annum. They gen
orally live in villages near the mines,
and go home at the end of each week
The average working time is liz hours
day. Those who are married live in
houses built for them alone, paying 40
cents for one or 80 cents for two rooms
per month. The unmarried miners
live in barracks" These are one
stored buildings, usually containing
two apartments, each having "a bunks
ranged in two rows around the sides.
The rules regulating behavior, cleanli-
ness, etc, are very strict and rigidly
enforced.

Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz reports
the latest effort of the Germans in the
way of canal building. They attach
great Importance to canals and water
ways as factors in industrial develop
ment, and their idea now is to unite
the Elbe and the Rhine, thus permit
ting not only of the direct passage of
ships from one to the other without un-
loading, but allowing the Rhine boats
to carry cargoes gathered in the har-
bors of the North sea to places far in
land. This will save freight and cost
of reloading. Consul Monaghan tells
of the increase of women employed in
German trade. The number has dou-
bled in the last 13 years, The greatest
gain is noticeable in the higher classes
of labor.

ARMY ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The secretary Of war declared a year
ego that this nation could raise, arm,
eouip and place in action an army of
100000 men in thirty days. The remarks
were evidently addressed to the top
gallery.
Eight months later war came, a
nezsly war with a most decrepit power.
The secretary was put to the test. Two
hundred thousand volunteers were
called. The regular troops were in
creased TO Ct, 600. The responses were
Immediate. The men were ready. But
the secretary was not. He had been
boasting. He was u warrior in time Of
peace and a sick man in war.
The number of men actually engaged
in war was. approximately, $1,000.
There are more than that in the regu-
lar army, which should always be ready
for the fray.
Altogether 274.717 men were uni
formed, but not all were equipped or
even fed. There were 1,1OS officers and
2ss. cog men. Most Of these were sta
tiored in pest camps selected by the
secretary.
Adjutant General Corbin has sub

raising of such an army. But there

Commenting on the three leading
senatorial candidates, the Tintic Miner
says: Powers was long the un-
crowned king of the Tuscaroras, but
his gallant support of B. H. Roberts
proved his allegiance to silver and to
Utah. Judge King has an enviable
record in congress and would have
been the unanimous choice of his party
for that office again this year. AS for
Mr.. McCune, he has by his own efforts,
risen from a poor lad to position of
.affiuence. AS a capitalist whose efforts
have done much for Utah, he is best
known, and if he is sent to represent
will feel the influence of that business
acumen and far-sightedness that has
placed Mr.. McCune where he stands
today"

ally come out with nothing to show
