Mr.. George E. Roberts, director of
the Mint, acknowledges in q statement
emanatlng from New York that SILL
900, 900 in gold had come out of the
Kloudike for this ''cslendar year." AS
this calendar year is yet in an unfin-
ished condition the statement attrib-
uted to Mr.. Roberts is confusing. 1t is
to be assumed that what he did say is
that 81, 900, 900 have come out Of Klon-
dixie during the preseDtyear This as
sumption is in measure confirmed by
subsequent statement of his that this
years 1899 total yield of gold in the
Klondike will ''reach sS1S, 100000 to
800. 900. OOOO, Eek

receipts will increase from now on, the
city having acquired the works through
an issue of bonds. Ell Paso should fR-

works before the price is raised to
prohibitive figure. 1t is not unlikely
that a deal might be arranged here on
fair basis.

SECRETARY Root has hard part to

MINING and manufacturing concerns
all over the country are voluntarily
raising the wages OF their employees.
It is not necessary to inquire too close
" into their motives. No doubt in
many cases if not most the motive 1s
the purely selfish one of averting
strike or a wholesale emigration to q
new field. That is all right for the
workmen, and if they gain by some

THE Colorado .smelter workmen

THE Colorado 'smelter workmen
are persisting in the face
of odds so overwhelming that
there is little use combating
them. The.eight hour law upon which
they relied has been pronounced I'M
constitutional, and the board of ar
filtration has reached q compromise
verdict and advised the men to go back
to work pending other legislation.
The men will be no worse off than
they were before, and under existing
laws 1t does not seem that they have
anything to gain by keeping up the
strike. The men have more to lose in
proportion to their ability than the
smelters have. A strike with the
chance of winning is justi6able, but
when the cause Is hopeless. as this az
pears to be for the present, only the
strikers themselves are to be blamed
for bringing unnecessary suffering on
themselves and their families.

Element of the trouble was arrived at
in 1896 and 1897 every thing looked
favorable for long peace. The Yaquis
seemed to be satisfied with their ar
rangement, whereby they received
lands in severalty and an equitable ar
rangement of taxes. It is said that the
cause of the present trouble is the en-
try of their lands by American
and Mexican prospectors on
permission from the govern
ment. This they esteem q
violation of the treaty, and will fight
for their rights. The Yaquis are an in
dependent race, and the Mexicsns will
have a hard time keeping them in
bounds, certainly until a railroad shall
penetrate into the very heart OF their
stronghold. AS it is now, it ia hard
matter to get troops into the country
at all, and hard matter to get news
out. A railroad would be the best
civilizing agent that could be chosen.

THE RECENT PRIZE FIGHT.
Referred to by Rev. James Hughes
in His Sermon Last Night.

While preaching last night in the
Presbyterian chapel, Adams avenue
and New York street, Rev. James
Hughes said he hoped to live to see
the day when all the churches in the
land would use their great influence to
put an end to all prize fighting. Such
a combined effort, he thought, would
have a very beneficial effect upon the
legislative assemblies Of the various
states in America, Continuing, Mr..
Hughes said:
"Such terrible contests as that which
took place at Coney Island last Friday
night must not only have an injurious
effect upon those who witnessed them,
by deadening their moral susceptible
tiles, but I fear it has very demoral-
izing effect on our boys and young
men. Such fights are an outrage on
civilization and a deep stain on the
character of Christian country I say
nothing about the men who take part
in such terrible contests of strength
skill and endurance; no doubt many OF
them are fine, brave, good-natured fell
lows.
Still, such work is not right in the
sight of God, and every effort should
be made by every phllanthropist to re-
move the temptation by enacting laws
which will render all such fistic con-
tests Illegal. I know that such a task
is a very great one, but we know that
the moral sentiment of the country is
also very great, especially when prop
erly aroused and united. The very
angels would rejoice, and many another
If we were so to unite"

1t is said that an effort will be made
to prevent the delegates named by can

not legally elected. On Saturday prl-
maries for the election of delegates
were held in Pittsburg who will con-
test the right of the delegates named
by Judge Kennedy to a seat in the
