A MIXED SITUATION.

The withdrawal OF Mr.. Charles Dan
nenberg from the contest for the Re-
publican nomination for Sheriff, pub
lished in the Register yesterday morn
ing, created a large amount of interest
in local political circles, and the county
politicians of that party were busy DUR
ing the day figuring on the situation.
Mr.. Dannenberg was seen. but gave
no reason for his withdrawal save that
he ''did not see his way clear" to enter
the race, and would remain in the
County Clerks Office. During the day
the names Of Mr.. Frank Bowers and
A. S. Hare were freely used in connec-
ton with the Office. but without the
consent OF the two gentlemen named.

THE TRANsvAAL WAR.

No news is not good news from an
English standpoint with regard to the
South African situation. For it goes
without saying that there must be
something of decided interest happen
ing there and happening pretty rapidly
these days. AS the channels of news
are in possession of the British it
would seem, therefore, that no news
meant that bad news was being con-
cealed from the home folk.
This brings up the vexed question of
the necessity for a censorship that con-
ceals news already we'll known to both
sides in the Transvaal. Common sense
can find no reason for such conceal
ment in any military necessity, except
such personal necessity as may arise
from the desire of officers to keep their
failures from the home folk as long as
possible, or to let themselves down
easy. Such concealment, however,
cannot be laid at the door Of brave Gen.
White in command at Ladysmith,
where the interest now centers. Gen.
White, who might very easily have
shifted the blame for the disaster by
which he lost two regiments in trap
set by the willy Beers, attempted no
concealment, but promptly told the very
worst and accepted all the blame him
self. Evidently an old campaigner such
as Gen. White. has small use for
censor, and were he still in commune
cation with the coast doubtless more
would be known concerning the be-
leaguered redcoats at Ladysmith.
Cut off from communication with
the outside world, however, and COM
pletely surrounded by the Beers, the
next news we may expect to hear from
Ladysmith is the capture of the entire
force under Gen. White.
Likewise, at any moment word may
come of the fall of Kimberly, similarly
besieged by 5000 Beers, and the cap
ture of the arch-conspirator, Cecil
Rhodes, whose prospects in that event
would not be worth much.

Aguinaldo is howled at for his recent
proclamation anent the meeting of the
American Congress, which he says is
to decide whether "the imperialistic
policy and this bloody work" are to go
on, and en- account of his advice that
the Filipinos so conduct themselves that
Congress will consider them worthy of
independence. Why howl at the Fill
Pine leader on this score? Would not
any civilized leader under the circum-
stances pursue the same policy?

The retirement on account Of failing
health of Editor e. i. Godkin from the
New York Evening Post removes from
the journalistic arena one of the great
editorial writers of the day. Mr.. God
kin's special field was politics and his
pen was original, keen and caustic. 1t
is some compensation for his loss to
know that he will doubtless retain a
controlling interest in the Post and
dictate its policy as well as contribute
occasionally to it's columns.

CONFERENCE OF OFF|oALS
OF the Ohio Miners Not Yet Concluded
at Bridgeport.
CORRESPONDENCE WITH w. P.
REND DEVELOPS THAT THE
PROPOSED INCREASE OF
WAGES WILL NOT TAKE Eff
Feet UNTIL APRIL-TEXT OF
THE KILOGRAMS.

Since Wednesday last the high Off
Gals of the Ohio Miners organization
have been holding a conference at the
Belmont House at Bridgeport. While
little has been given out for publica-
ton, it is understood that the object
is to lay plans for organization
throughout the State and line up the
locals for the firm stand that is to be
made for higher wages at the next an
nual convention of the United Mine
Workers of America, which will be
held in January. 1t is confidently as
serted that the Ohio miners by the end
Of the year will be better organized
than at any previous period in the his
tory of the industry. This is under
stood to be only a part Of a general
movement throughout the coal produce
ing States of the entire Union, and
which will enable the employe to pre-
sent a united front to the operators in
their joint conference.
Those present at the sessions held at
Bridgeport are President ". H. Has
kins, Vice President D. H. Sullivan,
Secretary-Treasurer T. l.. Lewis, and
the six members Of the Executive
Board.
On Friday w. P. Rend, the million
aire coal king of Chicago, was quoted
in Columbus paper as saying that he
would, on January LIST, voluntarily adj
vance the price for mining from Is to
20 per cent This excited the interest
of the officials at Bridgeport, and they
sent a telegram to Mr.. Rend, asking
him to verify the report. The reply
stated that "An advance of about Is
per cent would be given the Ohio min
ers in the next January Interstate
convention" This means that the adj
vance would not go into effect until the
April following, three months later.
The correspondence follows:
BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 8, 1899.
w. P. Rend-You are quoted in the
Ohio State Journal of October 2Sth, as
follows: "Of my own accord and be-
cause of the general prosperity prevail
ing, beginning January LIST, 1900, | will
advance the price paid for mining from
Is to 20 per cent" Are you quoted
correctly? Please answer.
