THE POPE AND The BIOCRAPH
Leo Kill. Shown in His Daily Life
to Distinguished Gather
ing in Washington.

A recent Washington dispatch
says: At Carroll Institute tonight,
before an audience representative
OF social, political and ecclesiasti-
cal life, a private exhibition was
gwen of the moving pictures Of
Pope Leo KILL, as reproduced by
the biograph. Among the dis
tinguished personages present were
Archbishop Martinelli, the Apollo
lie Delegate to the United States;
Archbishop Chapelle, Apostolic
Delegate to Cuba; Monsigneur
Conaty, Of the Catholic University;
Bishops Donahue and Curtis, and
prominent churchmen from New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and
other places. The diplomatic
corps was we'll represented and
there were present members of the
United States Senate, House OF
Representatives and many promi-
nent citizens.
The pictures of Leo XIII. were
enthusiastically received as Father
Malone, the well-krown Catholic
lectures, told their story. They
represent the Pope walking in the
Vatican gardens, driving in the
Vatican carriage OF State, and in
various positions in his apartments
in the Vatican. The closing scene
him giving his blessing
to his subjects in America, and
was received most impressively by
the audience.
AS Father Malone uttered the
following the audience was visibly
affected: ga strong tie of personal
affection unites his American chill
dren to Pope Leo; and as they look
upon the frail figure and the face
that already seems to be rejecting
back the glory Of the other life,
many a heart will be touched with
a sense of pain and sadness. But
on the other hand none can escape
thrill of pride and admirahoNht
the picture of sustained power that
is here represented"

The Wage Garner.
rom the Tifin (ohio) Tribune.

From the Tiffin (Ohio) Tribune.
We have population OF 10, ooo,-
oooof which 20, 900, 900 are wage
earners. II they should receive
compensation of one dollar per day,
the money thus earned would add
to the daily circulation of our coun-
try $40, 900, 900. If by reason of
prosperous times their wages are
increased to two dollars per day,
then we would have $40, 600, 600
in circulation daily. And a like
ratio of increase in wages will in
crease the amount Of money placed
daily in circulation. The margin
Of each days business is the posi-
bility OF margin. Wendell Phil
lips once said; "It is the dollar left
on Saturday evening, after all the
bills are paid that means education,
independence, selt-respect, man
hood. 1t increases the value OF
every acre near by, fills the town
with dwellings, opens public libra
ries and crowds them, dots the
continent with cities and cobwebs
country with railways. The one
remaining dollar insures progress
and guarantees millions to its
owners"
We have gained in wages dur
ing the past year at least IL per
cent. IN all the avenues OF bust
ness. The average wage paid to
all classes of labor is not far from
$40 per month. If we have 2o,-
600, 900 of wage earners, then we
have an annual wage of $500, 600, :
900. The increase or gain for the
past year being IL per cent.
amounts to nearly 500, 600, 600
that the wage earners Of the
United States have had bestowed
upon them by the wise legislation
of the Republican party since il
came into power in 1897.

LOCOMOTIVE BLASTS.

The Railway Journal says that Pull
man conductors who run in and out Of
Mexico do "side line" business in the
way of money brokerage for the benefit of
themselves aud the accommodation OF the
passenger. 1t works both ways. The
Pullman man changes United States
money into Mexican as the traveller goes
south and Mexican into United States on
his return. And he always charges double
rates of exchange, which the wealthy trav-
eler usually pays without kick.

DOWN In The MINES.

II is now urged by some anscrupulous
labor sgitator that miners be allowed to
take charge OF the scales and weigh their
own coal regardless of the wishes Of the
operator. A check weighmsn that they
so long clamored for fails 10 satisfy them.
We are informed that never before in
the history OF the ST. Bernard Coal Com
pany have they been SO crowded with
orders at this season OF the year as TO
necessitate the working of five quarters
each day as was the case last week and to
the praise of the miners il can be said they
proved themselves equal to the occasion.
Weigher James Fegan feels proud of the
No. Q record made last week which aver
aged about 10. 900 bushels per day.
The No. II men showed up in fine shape
last week and made fine record When
called upon for extra labor they can be de-
pended upon.
Mr.. Thos. Blair has been permanently
located as weigher at No. II mines and a
better selection could not well be made.
Kansas is suffering a dearth OF coal.
Railroads coniscate much that is shipped
and are so busy carrying grain that coal
deliveries are slow.
The forthcoming report of the West
Virginia mine inspector for the year end
ing June 80. 1898. will show that the total
production OF coal for the year amounted
to more than II. 600. 900 tons, an increase
of nearly 3. 900. 900 tons over the year be-
fore. In Fayette alone the increase was
more than I. 900. 600 tons over the preced-
ing year. and the output was increased in
every county in the state except Mineral.
Mason and Putnam. 10 Marion the in
crease was about 400 tons. The general
increase was due largely to the steady
trade during the summer.-Bradsireets
There we're more than -. 900. 600 tons

duty, as he sees it, is to maintain
efficient military governments in

Congress legislates upon the next
steps to be taken. The President
does not undertake to instruct
Congress upon the proper course
to be pursued. The message re-
lates to the recent past and exist
ing conditions, and does not at
tempt to anticipate future plans.
Yet the foundation has been Sc
curely laid and the President ap-
proves what has been done. In
all that he says there is no word
or thought that can be construed
as hesitant or reactionary. The
policy has steadily been onward,
and If any advantage of the war is
to be surrendered Congress must
take the responsibility. Nothing
material has been conceded up to
this time.
The President shows justihable
warmth in speaking of the patriot
ism of the people, OF their united
response to the calls OF the govern
ment and of the achievements OF
the army and navy. Strong terms,
but not grain too strong, are used
in describing the extraordinary sue
cession OF victories. They were
remarkable in the extreme and the
President so characterizes them.
The army operations at Santiago
he calls "a brilliant achievement. {"
He speaks of "the new possessions
which will come to us as a result
of the war with Spain" but says
their discussion would not be APP
propriate until the treaty is ratified.
The annexation of Hawaii is de-
clared to have been natural and in
evitable. There is an important
passage in regard to our commercial
interests in China. to ''our con-
stantly expanding direct trade with
the farther Orient" which will at
tract much attention, as will also
the emphasized mention of friendly
relations with England. The strik-
ing points of the message are many.
1t covers a broad field OF topics, is
its own summary and deserves
close reading in every part.

The merchant makes a mistake,

The lawyer makes a mistake,

The doctor makes a mistake,

The politician makes a mistake,

The butcher makes a mistake by
