What the Democratic National Commit
tee will do in Chicago this week may
have very diatinot bearing on the Demo-
cratic campaign of next year. While 1t is
not within the power of the committee
to decide what issues shall be pushed to
the front and what kept In the back
ground. their opinions represeD ting, as
they probably do, in most cases. the views
of tie party In their states, will tend to
show the direction in which the wind is
blowing. No doubt the deliberations of
the committee will indicate pretty
acoura tsly whether the silver movement
TAI still vitality enough to taks promi-
nent place in the next campaign or wheth-
er 1t is to be laid on the shelf. There are
still strong men in the Democratic party
who believe in keeping silver to the front,
and there are some states that are apper-
emily us en- husiaetlc ever to make 1t the
discriminating issue, but 1t Is also obvious
that great many states which were
hotbeds OF sllverism In 1896 are now
very cold toward it. There IS no such
general support for it as there was in 1896
and there can not Lee. But when the prop
osition Is made to drop silver and put

The Brooklyn street railway strike is
apparently on the verge of collapse In-
deed about the only signs there has been
of Its existence for the past two days are
the Assem- bling of bowling mobs. and the
placing Of distractions upon the tracks.
The cars have been running almost in
full number, and but for tbs occasional
Instructions, would have been running
with near approach to regularity. The
reasons Of the early failure of the move
ment are two. In the first place appar.
emily only a small part of the employees
wanted to strike, and great many of
those who vent out were practically
forced to do so. This of course made the
strike a half hearted affair, ready to col.
lapse as soon as protection was afforded
those who did not really sympathize
with the movement. In the second place
the strikers. or their sympathizers, pIeju-
diced themselves and their cause at the
very beginning by resorting to ruffianlsm
and riot. No strike is likely to succeed
unless 1t has public opinion ON its side,
and no strike can long have that which
resorts to violence, no matter how real
the grievance that brought 1t about.
Attacks upon person and property soon
change the question from controversy
between employer and employees, to one
between the great public whose interest
it is to have the laws obeyed and order
maintained and a compar stiveiy few per-
IONS who think thsy raay profit by oppo-
site conditions. and 10 q contest between
forces SO unequal there can be no doubt
as to the result.

The Harpers have issued a delightful
volume of short stories by Margaret SUIT
ton Briscoe, the first tale giving its title
to the bdQk, The Sixth Sense. Many of
these sketehes have already appeared In
Harper's periodical, The Century and
Scribner's. but they are we'll worth re-
reading. and being put in their present
more durable form.
Tho chief charm in these stories is that
the plots are absolutely fresh and origi-
nal, and shat is saying much when we
have been led to believe over and over
again that there Is nothing new under the
sun. Miss Briscoe's themes are treated
in fresh and ingenious way and her
tales are so brightly and attrnctively told
that one closes the book with a feeling
that one has had q very agreeable and
quite new set OF sensations. portland

WlNDtlAM COUNTY MINING.
prospectors Hope to Make "A strike where
the Lightnin. Haas OFTEN Made One.


Windham county. like some other coun-
tics in the state, mas had in the last half
century periodical excitement over the dis
roVcry of gold ana other metals in various
localities. Some considerable prospecting;
has been carried on by natives who have
discovered all kinds of metals, though
their Efforts have not been prosecuted to
such an extent as to prove the prescnc.
Of ore in paying quantities. In two or
three towns at least operations have be n
carried ON by local companies with the
assistance of limited outside experience
and capital. but in such a manner as hard
Is to attract public notice. Several years
ago iron ore was mined in West Dover
near the old road leading over the noun
tain To Somerset: ana for a long time the
hopes and expectations of local prospec
tors were encouraged. and a foreign com
pInY developed a good quality of iron,
though not of sufficient quantity to war
rant further expense with crude methods
Of mining. 1t was before the days Of
modern mining machinery, and develop
mcnts were ldrg, y the work Of the pick
and shovel. Few, if any, of the operators
are LIVING who opened and worked that
mine, though the executions are still Wis
IDLE and subjects of comment from fisher
men and inircqucnt visitors to Somerset
woods.
Within two years SoarsburS enthusiasts
posts in the wooded hillsidcs of the Deer
field valley. Nothing extensive, however,
was attempted, though numerous assay
lists discovered iron AMI other minerals
which might possibly have repaid extern
S.Vc operations. over IN RcadSbOrO some
rich copper Specimens have been d.scOY-
cred, showing the possible existence If
this metal in that locality, but whether in

ola residents of Londonderry stll take
much interest in conducting visitors to "a
wooded knoll in that town whore there is
scarcely Il tree within sight of the sum
nit that has not sooner or later been
struck by lightning. This fact leads to
the natural conclusion that there must be
ore of some kind in that vicinity which at

tculars Of hNc cases upon which he had
produced visible beneficial effects by the

when he took it under his care the pat

of his treatment the health Of each was
restored sufficiently to permit Tho patient
to resume work. His method of applying
