will build 90-foot sloop to compete in
the trial races for the selection of u de-

decided upon at meeting held at Mr..

George Lawley stated that he was will

hands, and as soon as the new boat is
afioat she will be towed from Quincy

Mr.. Wellington, who was present at the
conference, this afternoon told Mr.. Law
son he had 900 mechanics that could be
turned loose at once on the hull. if neces-
sary. With these assurances that the boat
could be built in season Mr. Lawson told
Lawley to 60 ahead on the job at once.
Designer Crowninshield and Mr.. Wilson,
of Wilson g. Silsby, sailmakers, were also
present at the conference. The former
exhibited a small model of the crafts

be that OF an enlarged N.cebOat, after the

Ex-sLAvEs WANT PENSIONS.
A Petition From mississippi En-
Route to Warrington.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. S.-A largely
signed petition is en- route from Missis-
sippi to President Mckinley in favor OF
an act Of Congress providing pensions Tor
ex-slaves. The ex-slave pension element
is stronger among the negroes OF Missis-
sippi than those of any other Southern
State. and 1t is estimated that 10000 OF
them have been mulcted OF their hard-
earned money by the willy negroes VINO
are promoting the movement.
No less than dozen agents of the ex-
slave pension operators have been sent to
the Federal penitentiary from Mississippi
during the past year for inpersonating
Federal officers and getting money from
the negroes for the ex-slave pension act
But this seems to have had no effect upon
the fraud.

Clever. jolly people, superb stage set

least of the attractions that almost sweep
a big audience off its feet last evening

ton in st. Paul.
The music is decidedly catchy, the lines
bright beyond that of the ordinary comic

artistic to the last degree. There is a

A CLEAN CaMpAIGN

Thus far the presidential campaign has
been -condueted@on an entirely creditable,
if not a decidedly exalted. basis There
has been substantial absence Of all Of
fensive personalities. The battle is be-
ing fought out in the main strictly on
the merits of the contentious Of the two
parties on the great questions Of public
concern. on which the sentiment of the
country has so effectually divided.
AZ intervals. however, there is dis
position shown by certain individual poll
dcans and certain partisan newspapers
to divert the public thought from the
real questions at issue and to influence
the voters by not very sensible appeals
to one or other unworthy personal con-
sheraton. One well defined feature Of
this disposition is presented through the
determination on the one side to treat
the Republican leader, Senator Hanna,
with less than justice and, often with
personal disrespect and eentumely, and,
on the other, to attribute all sort of alb
surd purposes to the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate.
Both of these men are, however. emil
nently qualified to take care of them
selves, ard in no case of the kind yet
has such line of dfsrepu1ab.e conduct
resulted otherwise than injuriously to
the side resorting to it.
Something of a diversion in this par
ticular direction has been made through
the latest reports. A young man named
Dingley, whom we are assured is a rela-
tive of the late Congressman Dingley, Of
Maine, has come forward with cock
and-bull story about a deal between
Col. Roosevelt and Richard Croker, in
volving the non-prosecution of those m
volved in the ice trust in considera ton
of the support which Croker can assure
Mckinley and Roosevelt among the New
York Democrats.
1t is hardly necessary. to characterize
such fool statement as this. lis a.
ceptance presumes the absence of all in
! telligence from among those who are sa d
| to be engaged in it, as well as from
among the voting population of the coun-
try. The young man who gives curren-
cy to it has his information, of course
from inside sources and is .himsst
apparently sadly in need of notoriety.
It's only significance lies in the evidence
which it offers of the paltry part which
the traditional election roorback is des-
| tined to play in the determination of the
result of the great prevailing struggle for
control of the affairs of the general gov
eminent.

TIE MINERS, CONTENTION.

There is no subject now before the
American people which possesses more
Immediate and pressing interest to
large proportion of the American people
than that of the settlement of the pre-
vailing coal strike. Within 6. week or
two, in case an agreement is not arrived
at, every manufacturing interest in the
entire country will be injuriously aaact-
ed, and large proportion of the people
in their homes will be subjected to griev-
Gus financial burdens in the additional
prices which they will be compelled to
pay fo:' their fuel.
1t is gratifying to rote that, according to
the latest press reports, the strike is, or
should be, in a fair way to prompt set
tlement. The action of President Mitch
ell, representing the strikers, as announc-
ed in the press, in calling a convention Of
the men, union and non-union, is strictly
in line with his professions from the be-
ginning to the effect that the men would
not stand on the principle of the recogni-
ton by the. operators of their unions. 1t
nullifies the conclusions drawn from the
non-acceptance of the 10 per cent adj
vance, that the men were standing out
for the recognition of their unions. The
manner of the 10 per cent offer, in spite
OF the substantial gain which 1t repre-
sented to the men, was such as to arouse
the antagonism of at least the union min
create disfntegration and division In the
ranks of the strikers.
The calling of the convention is the only
available way by which the wishes of
the men with reference to the pending
offer can be arrived at It is no mere
demonstration of unionism 1t will en-
body the legitimate expression of the will
of the mass of the men: and since the
operators have thought proper to insist
that there shall be no recognition of the
right OF the men to organize in a miners
union. it must be accepted as the only
available form which the joint expression
must be accepted by the operators, as il
Will be by the entire country, as a just
and adequate substitute for the the de-
