The governor is not resting as easy
as he might for the reason that the
council has not yet confirmed the ter
ritorial officials appointed by him. II
is true that the council is Republican,
ou. there will be quite fight against
the confirmation Of Harper Cunning
ham, attorney general, and Superin-
tendent Hopkins. There is general
feeliag among those who have the
facts, that these two officials have
been little too greedy, but it is safe

Yes, fostered by the protecting arm Of
the Republican party, gigantic combi-

for lowering the cost OF production OF
nearly every article manufactured and
for artihcially raising the price to the

Real competition no longer exists.
Everywhere the strong are crowding
out the weak. About the only indus

While striving to produce sufii~

farmer finds that the great principle
of protection does not protect him in
any particular, but on the contrary
acts to Increase the cost Of everything
that lie purchases.

Chicago, January Pal called one
day this week at the rooms Of the
Ways and Means committee in the
Unity building and found the genial
and able Sam b. Cook, OF Missouri, in
charge of the work OF the committee
during the absence OF W. II. Harvey,
who is on lecture tour which will
keep him away from Chicsgo during
the next few weeks.
Mr. Cook has gained fame and celeb
risy through his able management Of
political afr airs In Missouri as chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee. IL is said that his organization
was so thorough and his information
so accurate that he could have told at
any time during the campaign just
how large a majority the party Of the
people would poll.
He is comparatively a young man,
but of great executive ability, and as
an organizer probably has no superior
in either party. His friends are legion
and there is strong movement in his
state to reward him for his successful
labors by nominating and electing
him to one Of the best offices in the
gift Of the people Of this great com
monwealth.

RICHES OF THE TRANSVAAL.
Some idea of what England In the
Event OF War would Try
10 Secure.

Just now, when the eyes of the world
are on the Transvaal and various re-
ports are being put forward as to just
what reason exists for plunging that
country into-war with Great Britain,
report furnished this government by
Consul Macrum at Pretoria is interest
ing. lie says:
According to report just published
the output of diamonds In the Pretoria
district during 1898 amounted to H.
OPS carats, valued at C 1867 (S43, 1928.
In December, 1897, the output was loo
carats, valued at a146 ($710.5D, and
for the same month in 1898 the out
put was 3,100 carats, with a value of
1850 ($11, 626.97). The largest stone
found in 1898 was 1914 carats. Although
the diamond industry is not develop
ing with abnormal rapidity, there is
every cause for satisfaction, the first
stone having been discovered at Reit-
fontein only in August, 1897. The
average value of stones found in this
district is 16 shillings $3.50 per carat
the average value of Kimberly dia-
monds 26 shillings ($6.33) per carat, and

Orange Free State, "a shillings ($S.27)
per carat. The diamonds in the Pre-
toria district are found in pipes, as on
Schuller's mine and on Montrose.
similar formation has been found on
Roodeplaats, on the Pienaars river, and
another is also reported at Kameelfon-
tein and Buffesduff
"On the De Kroon farm, about 26
miles west of Pretoria. diamonds have
been found, but, according to the state
geologist not in blue ground forma-
ton. AT Byrnespoort an alluvial de
post is being worked; also one on the
adjoining portion of the Elandsfontein
farm. The area of diamondiferous
ground is very extensive, though its
thickness is not considerable.
'rhe total quantity of diamonds
found in 1898 in the Transvaal was 90

$1,000.
AT the alluvial diggings 12.2s3
carats, valued at G s,502 ($4f,374.9s),
were obtained. The difference between
alluyial and pipe diamonds consists in
the fact that river stones are OF a far
better quality and are generally larger

always DESTROYS of having Americans

With Americans to prospect for the

immense tracts of land, erect Touring

see comparatively valueless country

Consequently he secured the govern

has done so much, and persuaded so
many Americans TO GO into the land,
he should be baked when the prize

pointment will be wonderful factor in

more forces are needed. You see. the
fight has narrowed itself down to Yaki

determination for possession. Torres

American colopists, peace-loving nom
combatants though they were, made
wonderful soldiers when they were
aroused, so are these Indians, as their
history for $50 years has demonstrated.
They are not an educated people,
though n church can be found in almost
every village. They have no settled
priests, however, merely tolerating
their visits, as do the Acomas and Zunis
of New Mexico. In their general life
they are much like our own pueblo
people. living largely upon their own
produce and weaving strong wooden
and cotton cloth for personal use, the
same as the Navajos, though, like them,
the Americans gaudy calico is con-

A remarkable story from reliable
source illustrates the deadly effect Of
new rifle named the mannlicher, which
is being used by continental troops. AT
Podhorz, near Prague, two gendarmes
while on their round entered an inn and
sat down, placing their mannlicher
rifles in corner. One of the guns
slipped and fell, catching the trigger
against projecting seat. The ball went
through the door OF the room, struck n
musician sitting beyond, passed
through his body and then through
five of his companions who happened
TO be sitting by his side. The first man
was killed and the others seriously in
Jured. 1t Is said that such penetrative
