The Mt. Pleasant has entered the list

The Mt. Pleasant has entered the list
Of collieries hereabouts which are sink
ing their shafts to lower veins. Propo-
sails have heen advertised for and be-
fore this month is out, a contract will
be let to sing the present shaft from
the Clark vein to the Second Dunmore,
a distance of about 120 feet.
This vein averages about 31sfeet in
thickness and is fair seam of coal,
though rather expensive to work owing
to its thinness which necessitates some
cutting Of rock. The Diamond and
Cayuga mines on the northeast, oper-
ated by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, are getting coal out
of this vein at present, and it has
proved a workable and profitable vein.
The shaft at the Mt. Pleasant, which
is owned by the William r. Smith cs-
tate, is 11S3O feet in dimensions and the
extension will correspond. At present
four veins are being worked being the
3'foot, 5-foot and New Country veins.
The Second Dunmore will make five
and will be opened up and operated as
soon as the shaft is ready. The latter
will be done as soon as practicable.
Though a new vein of coal will thus
be worked no increase in the output
of the colliery is expected. The pur-
pose of the opening being to simply
make the output uniform both as to
quantity and quality of coal as in the
past.
In reference to the Mt. Pleasant
shaft it might be said that few plants
of the kind are better equipped any
where in the valley. The late William
Il. Smith, who owned and operated it.,
was very practical and as fast as mod :
ern appliances were put upon the mar
ket for mining and facilitating the
mining of coal, they We're introduced
by him into his mine. His efforts were
ably seconded and carried out by his
superintendent, Thomas Sprague. q
gentleman thoroughly posted in mining
and its intricacies.
The application of electricity to mine
operations was made here quite eXtcn-
sively throughout. Pumps, haulage
system and lighting to large extent
is being done by this latest improve
ment in mine operations. AS fast as
possible, all these appliances will be
introduced into the new VEIN when
opened.
Another pleasant feature in connec-
tion with the proposed work is that
employment will be open for many
who are now out of work.

the sum of $500 for his appearance at

OUR NEW INFLUENCE.

" ONE of the best authorities on European poll
tics attribute the recent change in the situation
- there to the effects OF our with Spain To
the victories of our navy at Santiago and Manila
due in their judgment the boldness of GREE
Britain in dealing with foreign affairs and the hest
ton of the Continental alliances to act against her.
The argument for this view of the situation
simple Prior to the outbreak of the with Spai
Great Britain was without friend among the grea |
nations of the EARTH and, moreover was by means
saneuine that her navy than match for any
combination that could be brought against it Under
such conditions Salisbury was cautious to the
verge of tnidity The nation like its leader, dis
trustful, and willingly supported the waiting policy
on every issue that arose.
The war with Spain brought out a strong public
sentiment in the United States favorable TO Great
Britain, and it demonstrated III a striking way the
superiority of American seamanship in handling mod
ern navies Both of these things had stimulating
effect upon the British The first led the conclu-
sion that Great Britain would have American SYM
pathy and probably American aid in of war
against heavy odds, and the second aroused belief
that her seamen, like those of the United States,
would be so much better fighting men than those Of
other races that she could afford to face all Europe
i need be and win in the conflict
Whether these ideas among the British. are justi-
fed or not does not affect the situation. The fact
that they believed by the Government and by the
people is the important point. Sef-confdence has
much to do with the actions of nations with those
O. individuals The British longer cautious. The
empire has resumed the aggressive. There is no
longer any sign of retreat from the most advanced
position, either in Africa in Asia.
Strangely enough, the idea of probable co-opera-
ton between Great Britain and the United States
seems to have affected the nations of Continental
Europe almost as strongly the British themselves
Many of the ablest journals in Germany and France
have discussed it coming to the world.
Among these powers, therefore, there has been an
increased cautiousness just in Great Britain there
has been increased boldness. Consequently we
hear Salisbury declaring that the formal
ton of Egypt to the empire may yet be accomplished
and protest comes from any quarter of the globe.
II these views be we'll taken we have another illus
traton of the farreaching effects of and battles
Our military influence has become factor in the
great game Of international politics without any in
tention on our part of exerting such influence Our
victories felt in the affairs of Asia and Africa as
well as in the Philippines and the West Indies, and
the end is not yet.

THE DEMOCRATIC COLLAPSE.

| COLONEL WILLIAM J. BRYAN is quoted a:
IL having stated to a reporter OF the Associated
Press that the result OF the recent election was
not Sweeping Republican victory, that 1t was not
verdict upon the silver question: because that issue
was not before the people, and finally, that the out
look for the supporters OF the Chicago platform is as
bright ever.
Colonel Bryan is to be congratulated upon his
ability to stand punishment He is like the Kansas
man who, having been taken up by tornado and
slammed against his barn so hard that. it knocked
the roof off, rose up as soon as he recovered con-
seriousness and swore ct touched me. II he
cannot see defeat for his debased money programme
in the tremendous maorities given for Republican
candidates in this off year following the great tidal
wave of 1896, then certainly he will never see any
thing beyond his own nose as long he is living
candidate
Never since the close of the war has Democracy
been in such a collapsed condition as at this time
The party which in 1892 elected Cleveland to the
Presidency and controlled by strong maJorltles both
the House and the Senate has now been almost wiped
out of the whole country with the exception OF the
Southern States. Not only the President the
Senate and the House Republican, but an almost I'M
broken line of Republican States extends from the
Atlantic to the Pacific
When the next Congress meets Democratic Sen
ator from Northern or Western State will be some
thing like freak-a survivor of the flood. States
like New York, Connecticut, Indiana and California,
which in times past were considered doubtful, have
gone over to the solidy Republican column Even
the border States of the South have turned IN the
same direction, and Delaware Maryland and West
Virginia in the galaxy that stand tor sound
money, protection and conservative government
Not only has the party been utterly defeated at the
polls but it has been driven to virtually abandon its
standard If free trade and free silver and the Chi
cago declarations generally not issues IN the
late elections it was simply because the Democrats
dared not raise them. AS matter OF fact they were
the determining issues although they were not dis
cussed on the stump. The people understood them,
and they voted the Republican ticket because back OF
the lodging Democrats there plainly to be seen
the menacing shadow of the Chicago platform.
Bryan sees all this wreck OF his party. He sees 1t
Swept from every State except those OF the South
and even in those States it is upheld simply by the
issue and not by any devotion to free silver or
free trade and yet he declares everything is serene
Here is clearly the bndest leader that undertook
to lead the blind. He has not only led his party into
the ditch but that he is there he does not know
the ditch from the highway.
