 There is something radically wrong with the present mode of na- tional legislation when the presiding officer of either house can arbitra- rily block legislation, by refusing to permit the consideration of any measure. Speaker Reed, who is sn- tagonistic to the Nicaragua canal enterprise, has consistently and ar bltrarily prevented it from coming up in the house for consideration, hoping by this means to defeat its passage during the present session.

We have one mine alone that is worth several million dollars more than all the combined wealth of the territory outsids of it, if values are estimated by ability to produce re- turns on estimated values.

NJ. $. Taft is shipping ore from his Sterling mine on Big Bug.
 The dri on the 5O0Lfoot level of the Crowned King mine has been run for about fifteen feet or more through the rich ore body recently discovered, showing that 1t Is not an ordi0ary pocket. The ore extends both above and below the drift also, bu, just how far can only be deter m,ued by further development work.
 Two nice, good sized chunks of ore from M. $. Tafl's Sterling mine are on exhibition at Hotel Burke. Strange as It may seem such ore here attracts but little attention, while in Colorado or some other mining sections 1t would create great excitement. The smaller of these pieces of ore will weigh from thirty to forty pounds and the larger one from fifty 10 sixty pounds. The latter will go about 60 per cent cop per and the former about 50 per cent. lt is from this mine and ore of this character which Mr. Taft is shipping at present.
 Nick Gales and A. G. Kennedy have a steam hoist up on the Shelton group of mines on Lynx creek and are now taking out ore and sinking. It is their purpose to sink at once 10 depth of over TOO feet. The mine is looking splendid aud they are greatly encouraged. They have recently overhauled the mill con- nected with the group of mines, by adding Frue Vanner concentratOrs, Gilpin county bumper snd eXpectlto uale a test run of ore soon from theIT mines. At present they are running the mill on ore from the Favorite mine which is being work ed by c. P. Collins. They have taken s contract to run 1000 tons of ore for him. The Favorite IS also looking in fine condition and mining was never so active or promising in the Lynx CreeA district as it is to- day.

A Highly Organized Laborer

With much regret we note continua-
ton of the bad feeling between the Stone
cutters and Brickiayers' Union in Ciic go,
cornerstone festival committee, which be-
longs TO him and his other friends. Some
OF the eminent, exalted high grand stone
cutters and bricklayers are accused by the
other side OF design to hold them up"
and extort FIVE thousand cash expressions
OF amity and good will; TO the end that the
stone which was rejected of the union
postage stamp palace.
We do not need TO say that the charge
is hurled back at the committee with prop
er scorn, nor that delegates" have been
told of to visit Washington and see that
the new member is straight and has his
union ticket lawfully punched. We do not
understand that these commissioners are
walking delegates, because they demand
their railway fares. The principle how
ever, is perhaps the same.
True to his trade obligations. it is an
nounced that the President is making
every arrangement TO show up at the Chi
cago function, trowei in hand, and be ready
to work or strike as the federated authori-
ties of his craft may order. He will show
himself sincere friend and member of or
ganized labof>if he can. Not because John
Mclean has made a record in that respect,
while his own history in Ohio has been OF
a slightly military character; but merely
for the reason that he is good man with
an ante-election hand as glad and as great
as that of Providence

Division of Counsel.

According to the quidnuncs of the Ad-
ministration circle. Schurman has come
home from the Philippines with one story
and Senator Beveridge with another, and
the President does not know which to be-
lieve. So he will import DENLY and Wor-
/ cester in the interests of light. AS far as
we are advised, Worcester is a truthful
man. and, within the limits OF his under
standing, can be depended upon to tell
straight narrative-in intention at least
DENLY is another matter. His recall is OBJ
viously for other reasons.
Exactly what MIR. Mckinley is up to
would be impossible to say. His friends
hope that he is trying to find some new
and unique excuse for shelving Otis; while
his enemies hope and believe that he is
only hunting for something that will help
him to support and sustain the Philippine
hoodoo of his Administration Probably
tremes, and he does not know what he
wants.
But the American people know what they
want. They are determined upon the re-
moval of the discredited officer whom they
hold chiefly responsible for the miserable
military failure we have made in the Island
of Luzon. They insist upon his being re-
placed with general of industry, courage,
and ability. and they expect the change to
be made without more ado or delay. There
is not the shadow of reason why action
should not be immediate. General Lawton
is a good enough commander to take
charge for the present. even if il be decided
TO send Miles or Merritt to the archipela-
go. The command could be transferred by
cable in an hour The longer the Presi-
dent hesitates and palters the harder it
will be for him to overcome the deep-seate1
resentment against him personally that is
beginning to show itself in many parts Of
the country. Further vacillation may in
voive unpleasant things for the Hon. VIII

A just Decision.

A suit lately brought by the publishers of
Mr. Dooley against another firm in the
United States Circuit Court OF the Northern
district of Illinois has just been decided in
a way which should bring JOY to all lovers
Of justice and good literature. 1t seems
that, moved by the exceeding popularity of
Mr.. Finley Peter Dunne's Irish dialect pa
pers another Chicago man, more enterpris-
ing than honest, conceived the idea of is
suing a book called What Dooley Says
a book which. of course, was not the work
of Mr.. Dunno or authorized by him. The
court decided after this manner:
The name "Dooley'' associated with the titles
! and designations Of books has become char
acieristie designation OF Finley Peter Dunno in
the nature Of trade-name or trademark calcu-
lated 10 lead the public and readers generally to
/ believe that such book has been prepared by
and Is published under the supervision of said
| Dunno and by publishers selected by him; to
| the exclusive and benefit OF which said trade
name said Dunno and his authorized publishers
are entitled.
This is considerably broad in its scope.
compared with the general action of courts
in such matters. and it is to be hoped that
useful precedent has been established
The justice of the decision, as IL affects not
only the author but the public is obvious
obvious as a two-story barn The public
should be protected from a publisher who
offers spurious goods, and the author and
the honest publisher should be protected
from the pirate. OF course, this is a some
what exceptional case. There have been
books with titles similar. sometimes issued
the same year, and ignorant people have
bought one under the impression that they
were buying the other and have discovered
their mistake too late. That sort OF thing
cannot very well be prevented In this case.
however, the two titles were so much alike
that even reasonably well-informed person
might easily have mistaken the one for the
other, and perhaps have missed the original
Mr.. Dooley altogether. The object OF the
plagiarist was plainly to CLEAN whatever ad-
vantage might be had from the use OF
name already well known and rob Mr..
| Dunno and his publishers OF the money
which might otherwise be spent in the pur-
chase of the real and not the spurious ar
tiele similar suit lately brought by o

ing around to the recognition OF the fact
that the author has as much right to his
work as the farmer or the blacksmith has

gering Idea in the minds OF non-literary
people that an author is an unworldly sort
OF individual, made to be alternately fieeced
and patronized, and eventually taken care
of by popular subscription. Some authors
have answered fairly well to this descrip-
tion, because no man serve two mas

ness faculty do not always exist In the
same person. The creative faculty demands

A bit OF news which comes from Cincin-

thoughtful and sympathetic observer OF
