attempt to array prejudice in the

county against the operators, is a
very small piece of business. Our
miners are as well, if not better
paid than are the Ohio miners, and
would be contented and happy in
their work, if it were notfor the
agitators and proselyters from the
miners organization of Pomeroy

DEMOCRATIC, Populist, and renegade
Republican papers over the country are
joyfully declaring and asserting, should
Mr.. Hanna be defeated in his ambition
to be the next United States senator
from Ohio, that the administration will be
seriously crippled and that its backbone
will be broken. OF course, this is the
veriest rot, but il is the policy Of the
papers named to bclittle Mr.. Mckinley
by holding Mr.. Hanna up as the boss of
the Republican party. They know bet
ter, however, and are telling deliberate
falsehoods for political effect. They
know, that Major Mckinley is a big man
intellectually, possessed of vast political
experience and sagacity and the real
head there is to the present Republican
administration. The defeat of Mr..
Hanna, while it may be annoying and
displeasing to the administration, will
make no difference as far as that is con-
cerned. The country will be governed
with sagacity, conservatism, fairness
and success while the Mckinley adj
ministration lasts, be Nh. Hanna elected
or defeated.

War Probable in Europe.

There is no questioning the fact that
matters diplomatic have reached u
critical stage among the powers
of Europe, and the long-talked Of
great war on that continent is on the
verge of actually.
Great Britain has been completely
Isolated by the other powers and is now
without any chance of protection, while
Russia is complete master of European
politics, and is pressing against the in
terests OF England in Il manner that
Indicates that the latter must speedily
resist or lose her commercial and STRAIT
egic advantages in the Orient.
Should England make demands upon
China for equal rights with Russia in
Port Arthur and equal rights with Ger
many in Kiao-Chau bay, and the allied
powers refuse to grant them, war will
inevitably result. Ii wal does come
Great Britain will have to face France
and Germany on the seas, and Russia
on the land. That is the situation in
Europe at the present time, and the
struggle for supremacy II only be
averted by the most cautious diplomatic
negotiations, and even then, some hot
headed subordinate is liable to set fire
to the assembled hosts by an indiscrect
act.
Fortunately the United States has but
very little interest in the Chinese qucs-
tfon, and so long as the terms of the
treaties now existing between this gov
eminent and China are regarded and
protected, there will be no call for in
reference on the part of this country.
Ii may be II sOrdid view to take, but
nevertheless u war of the magnitude
the one now foreshadowcd will be,
would enrich the American farmers
and manufacturers to an enormous de-
gree. If wal must come, let 1t come be-
tween the foreign powers, and the
United States, while not acquiring any
additional territory, will get its share
of the spoils in the form of gold dollars
paid for grain, provisions, horses and
arms

TWAS A DEAD HEAT.

lishments quartered ut the Benning race
track. The other evening Jimmy came
into town TO attend the theater, but event

most prominent churches instead of at the

special committee appointed by the Re,
publican caucus and which will be in
troduced shortly, makes many changes
in the present system and does away
with much of the Chinese %tomfoolery,
now in operation in various departments
Of the government. 1t provides for the
iiye-year tenure of Office for those gov
eminent employees who are brought
within the terms of the bill. The meas
urc limits the application OF the civil
service system to the departments in
Washington and to such other localities
where the total number of employees ex-
cceds 25. All appointees are commits
stoned for five years, with the power of
removal clearly regulated and vested in
the appointing power, 1t is provided,
however. that no removal shall be made
for political or religious causes, and in
case of removal the causes shall be speci-
fled and the papers made a record Of the
office.
All persons now in the public service
are to terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes effect.
The measure recognizes the general eli
gibiIity of these persons for reappoint-
ment.
1t includes in the civil service postal
clerks and letter carriers in offices having
over ten employees, exclusive of subor-
dinatcs. 1t limits the civil service regu-
lations to clerks whose compensation is
from 5000 to 81, 800 per yer and includes
clerks, copyists, computers, counters,
and draughtsmen.
1t is pointed out that the essential
idea of the foregoing bill is to take out
of the civil service all responsibility and
important officers, limiting it only to
clerks in Washington and certain large
cities, and in these cases fixing Il tenure
OF Office of five years.

Surplus for December.

There is wailing in the free traders
camp. The Dingley bill has proved to
be IA revenue raiser as well as u protcc-
ton measure, and the Cobdenites are in
consolable.
The monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures for the
month of December shows the total re-
ceipts to have been $50, 646, 69S, of which
$11, $50, 1888 came from internal revenue
and 1913, 649 $50 from miscellaneous
sources. These receipts and expenditures
include $31 ,7l5, 2O4 received during the
month from the sale of the Union Pacific
railroad, and 5000, 900 paid out to secure u
bid on the Kansas Pacific railroad subsidy
bonds not due until the present month.
Excluding these items the receipts UNI
der the tariff law were $27, 931 ,404, while
the expenditures were 1928, PIG, 663, leav-
ing Il surplus for the month Of $1,7l4,-
S31.
This is the first surplus in the govern
ment strong box reported for several
years, and naturally the friends of pro-
lection feel gratifed oyer the result of
the operation of the new tariff law. Nor
is this all. The treasury officials are
positive that the receipts for the next
six months will exceed the expenditures
by a large sum, and may possibly wipe
out the deficit of about $44, 900, 600 re-
ported for the past six months.
The.fgurcs here given are a fair H.
lustration Of the difference between
tariff reform and protection. Whenever
the former has been the policy of the
party in power the government has
been compelled to borrow money to
meet running expenses. The tariff may
have been reformed (Y, but the people
have stood the experience of the experi-
ment. When the latter has been the
policy of the government, a surplus In
the treasury has resulted, the national
debt decreased, and prosperity smiled on
the land. A protective tariff has never
yet failed to serve two purposes: pro-
the home markets from undue
competition, and kept the ma
tional treasury filed with funds to meet
any and every emergency. In other

and practical workings. Free

tical application OF common business
