There is in Alabama one other bed OF
ore in the world like this, but it is in
land and without water Transportation.
This ore bed, with the coal of Cane

being developed by n Boston company.

IS. 81 to carry to Pittsburg the material
to produce one ton of pig iron. Lake

Pittsburg at total cost less than the

the Newfoundland ore will cost at the
furnace only a fraction OF what the
Lake Superior ores now cost.

The Sand Cure.

DIR. Miller, of Chicago, has informed
an Illinois society for the promotion of
health that he has discovered a sover-
eign cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, APP
pendicitis and kindred troubles. The
remedy is Lake Michigan sand of a GER
tain fineness put up in six-grain cap
sules, one to be taken with each meal.
DIR. Miller has beer running with the
chickens and other critters that have
sense enough to mix sand and gravel
with their food, and which never go on
the sick list from stomach troubles
when such roughness is accessible. He
should not have given this snap away.
for no one will ever wish to use cap.
sules thus filled. Doubtless the sand in
the craw or the stomach would serve a
useful purpose, but the majority of peo-
pie are averse to simple remedies not
disguised under some mysterious I'M
recognizable name. So true is this that
some physicians write their prescrip-
tions in a manne that cannot be un-
derstood even when the name of a SIM
pie ingredient is mentioned, for fear the
patient will disapprove of its use. If
DR.. Miller would put sand on sale un-
der the name Of "Miller's ~Sandrophi-
gus or any other old meaningless APP
pellation, and advertise it in the right
way, it might work wonders as a scour-
ing agent, but when he simply advises
the people of Chicago to go down to
the beach and eat sand for their giz-
yards, they will not do 1t, of course,
when there are doctors ready to hum
bug them with dirtier stuff and make
them pay for being tricked.

Going to Europe for Christmas.

Several thousand Scandiipavians and
Italians have sailed from New York
within the past few weeks as steerage
passengers, going to their native land
for Christmas. On one vessel were 500
Scandinavians. Nearly all of them ex-
pect to return to America before the
winter ends. Many are farmers from
the northwestern states, who have left
the hired men and the neighbors to look
after the property Of the absent during
the season of inactivity upon the farm,
but when spring comes the owners will
again be found in the field. 1t is a pros
porous land where the tiller of the soil,
who was a poor peasant in Europe, can
spend the winter over the ocean for
pleasure and the summer in America
making money. The Scandinavian set
tiers in the United States are thrifty
and never given to spending their
money unless they have enough ahead
to warrant comforts and pleasure be-
ing INDUCED in. Almost every n of
these travellers is probably out of debt
and has a comfortable bank account,
which will not be seriously disturbed
by the European visit. When the trav-
elers come back they will be pretty apt
to bring along more Of their kind, for
they are a clannish people, who stick to-
gether through good and bad fortune.

Made Quick Work OF II.

The Republican house of representa-
tives has given the country quick action
on the currency bill, and the nation is
better satisfied than if a month of
speechmaking had been devoted to the
subject. When the American people
make up their mind what is the right
thing to do they wish it done right
away without f~oolishness, no matter
what party desires to delay for its own
purposes. The Democratic cry that the
minority was to be. gagged aroused no
sympathy, for the people desired gag
ging if necessary, and considered /
week enough to devote to a subject
which had been talked over enough in
the days of adversely, and again in the
era of prosperity, until all know wheth-
err they desired the gold standard sup
ported by law. If the house will dis
pose of all questions in as expeditions 4
n as it did the currency bill, then
the country will be satisfied, even if the
d%illy-dally party be ~discontented be-
cause it was not able to worry it's op-
ponent by defeating measures for the
failure of which the majority party
alone would be held responsible.

Gallery Play by Politicians.

The free silver politicians Of Colorado
have hit upon a new scheme for parad-
ing their free silver ideas before the
country. A bar of pure silver is to be
rendered at the mint with a demand for
coinage into dollars. Upon refusal OF
the mint to accept the silver for such a
purpose, suit will be brought to secure
an order from the supreme court of the
United States compelling the demand
to be obeyed. The promoters of this
lawsuit will claim that constitutional
provisions authorize congress to "coin
money and regulate the value thereof"
and that mo state shall make anything
but gold and silver coin a legal tender
for debts" They hold that by this the
constitution recognized silver with gold
and its intentions should be observed
still. Lawyers galore in Colorado will be
willing to make the fight for the silver
men. But in the end nothing will be
gained. The people of this country in
1896 voted by a big majority not to have
free coinage of silver by voting against
the party pledged to bring this result
about. The system which has been in
force is not apt to be set aside for any
trivial t~echnicality, and should it be the
people would only have to amend the
constitution, and a victory in the courts
would have no permanent effect, al
though it might for awhile disturb the
currency system Of the country and
bring temporary disaster while a silver
flood was going to the mints. The
scheme of the Colorado financiers, how
ever, does not seem to be considered as
Of any consequence, for little attention
Is being paid to It.

Democrats Who Dared Be Honest.

The Rocky Mountain News wants the
New York congressman and others who
voted for the currency bill of the Re
publican party. and those who lodged
the question, communicated from the
Democratic party and denied the RIGHT
to enter heaven when they leave their
Long Island home for the longer home
that all hope for in the hereafter. These
New York congressman were elected
upon pledges that they would support
a gold standard measure, and could not
have gone home to their constituents
had they forsaken the doctrine of
finance which New York and eastern
Democrats with business sense believe
to be for the best interests of the coun-
try. The election Of these congressman
and their votes upon the currency bill
demonstrate very clearly that despite
the professions of Tammany with re-
gard to supporting Colonel Bryan, the
people of New York, who regard politics
in q practical way, will not support a
candidate who advocates free silver. As
further proof Of this. Congressman
briggs, one of the members whose vote
pains the Denver silver maniac, in 4
speech referred to the fact that the
Democratic caucus Of the house mem
berg did not declare for free silver nor
rex TO bind nj member to oppose the
9old standard. He urged his fellow
members to cease chasing the silver
rainbow In Republican states and to try
win back Democratic states lost by
'oilowdng the chase. prophesying GER
ain defeat for the Democracy until the
,arty abandons the silver lunacy.

Nothing could be more criminal than

become the legitimate prey of the very

for independence betrays their anxiety

EDISON'S PROCESS.
The Mining World Looking to Southern
Santa Fa nnnntv.

The progress of placer mining on tn,
Ortiz grant in New Mexico, by which
Thomas A. Edison hopes to demonstrate
the success of his invention for extract
ing gold by means of electricity, will be
watched with interest in Colorado as
ther results nay be Of the utmost impor-
tance to this state, and, in fact, to the
entire mining world.
Owing to the secrecy in which Edison
has clad his plans, little has been
learned of the process by which he
hopes to revolutionize placering. Re-
ports from Cerrillos, where the prepa-
rations for Edison's work are now be-
ing carried on, indicate that about 10000
cubic yards Of gravel will be handled
daily when the machinery is in place.
The excavators, it is said, will take up
the gravel and place it in immense re-
volving screens, which are intended to
concentrate the gravel and gold. What
ia to be done with the concentrates is
as yet a mystery, and it is thought that
the process of separation, If successful,
will be kept an entire secret.
If the dry placering is carried ON ac-
cording to the immense scale which
present plans indicate, it will be ex-
tremely difficult to keep the process of
separation a secret for any great length
of time, and the mining world may
sooner or later reap benefit from Edi-
sons genius, even against his will. Even
If Edison's work i'm New Mexico proves
a success, and Is successfully kept a Sc
cret, doubtless the attention. Of other
experts such as Tesla will be directed
to the same field and good results OBJ
tanned.
The world has long needed a practi-
cal system of dry placering, and hardly
a gold-producing section Of the world
will fail to receive immense benefit il
the ideas of Edison or some not less
practical electrician are put into gen.
eral operation. The placers of the
Klondike have already shown signs of
exhaustion, owing to the crude methods
which the miners of Alaska have been
compelled to adopt. This ground, which
may be said to be only half washed,
would doubtless yield rich returns to a
good electrical process. In Colorado
there are many rich placer fields that
have long stood idle because Of the fact
that water cannot be secured for their
working.
1t is clsFtmed that Edison must be GER
tain of the success Of his plan, else he
could not have organized a company
with such immense capital for working
the Ortiz placers. In the light Of the
practical success Of his other inven-
tons, this would seem reasonable, and
will give rise to the question: Has the
inventor Of anything which will confer
great benefit upon the world a moral
right t. keep his invention a secret?-

COLLAPSE OF INDUSTRIALS.
PHILADELPHIA Record.l

Promoters and professional manipu-
lators have succeeded in unloading up
on weak investors a great variety of
industrial stocks. nearly all Of them
having some merit, but watered to the
limit. Whenever there Is a little pres
sure upon the part of money lenders
these stocks collapse by sinking to
something near their actual value.
Weak investors are shaken out; then
ensues a season Of recovery and recu-
peration, and in due time the game is
played over again.
1t is a gross abuse Of terms to call
these collapses in speculative values
actual losses. They are a mere letting
out of wind-a beneficial process of re-
lieving the 1atulency of the markets by
enforced liquidations, with results
which are advantageous to legitimate
business.
