IN 1896 AND IN 1900.

Yesterday at South Chicago the Illi- nois Steel company paid to its 6,OO0 workmen s21S,OO0 fir two weeks work. Four years ago it was paying to less than half that number of workmen much less than half that amount of money. In 1896 the best common work man got only s1.20 a day. Now the lowest pay given to any common la bo-er is $l.50 q day. Wages are on the average 25 per cent higher than they were four years ago and work is stead fer. The plant of the Illinois Steel company has been running every day this year, ard unless there is an inn probable change in the situation, there will be no shutdown this year. As two new blast furnaces are building. the number of men in the company's em- ploy will be much larger soon than 1t is now.-Chlcago Tribune.

Iceland has been celebrating the ninth century of the introduction of Christianity in lahe far north island. It was Olaf. king of Norway. who sent over the first priests. Longfellow gives 2 somewhat humoTous account of the reception of Olafs emissary, Drunk Gn Thangbrand,' who came away quite as disgusted with th< icelanders 'as they were with him. In North Dako- ia and Manitoba there are many thous and Icelanders. They are thrifty farm CTS, well cultured and great disputers on theological subjects.

English book collectors are in bad humor owing to the failure of their eff forts to get the sale of the lat Mir. Au- gustin Dalys labrary transferred to England.

EARLY FALL ADVERTISING.

The approaching autumn will witness an increase of human energy and re- vival of all the activities that have ilan- suished in the heat of an extraordinary summer. Everybody will discover new wants in preparing for the coming months. Those advertisers who will be first in the field will have an obvious advantage not only in supplying the immediate needs of the community, bu: also in being able to lead people to form the habit of dealing with them before the competition for trade shall become sGarpest.

 part of the country ready for the softer processes of civil rule, except for the provocation of the people of the pacified districts by thu neighborhood of fellow burghers il arms to acts inconsistent with it's obli- gations. The Boers are not thieves CT savages, and it is improbable that Gen eral Roberts will be compelled at any time to treat them as bandits. In truth he wished to treat them as civil sub rjects, but their continued breaches of allegiance and peace have compelled him to treat them as conquered en- emies when quiet and as prisoners of war when detected in acts of hostility This necessary severity seems to be du , wholly to the assistance afforded to tn ? enemy by burghers on their farms, and not at all to the foolish plot cooked up in Pretoria for the abduction of Lord Roberts.

DIFFER OVER PRESIDING OFFICER.
Both Carter aud Marshall Claim They
Should Preside Over the Scnatc-Oppo-
sition to Opening Up the Gubernatorial
Controversy.

FRANKFORT Ky Feb 19.--The DEM
ocratic and Republican branches of the
Legislature met today together for the
first time since tho assassination Of Goe-
bel.
Both Lieutenant Governor Marshall
Rep.) and President Pro Tenn. Carter
(Dem.) claimed they would preside in
the senate. The question was as wide
open last night as ever. The Demo-
cratic leaders say Senator Carter will
preside. Lieutenant Governor Marshall
was not here last night, but bef0se leav-
ing the city Saturday night he stated
positively that he would return today
and insist upon his right to preside.
The Republican leaders asserted posi-
lively last night that he will preside.
Governor Taylor went to church Sun
day, without q military escort. and
spent the remainder of the day at the
Mansion with his family.
Governor Beckham returned to the
city last night, with the Democratic
legislators, and will have his head
quarters at the Capitol hotel. Messrs.
Justus and Arthur Goebel, brothers Of
the late Democratic governor, also re.
turned, and will remain here till the
body of their dead brother is finally
buried. The body still lies i'll the little
chapel i'll the cemetery, the relatives
having been slow to determine the ex-
act spot of burial.
The question of reopening the contest
over the governorship by presenting res
olutions in both houses ratifying the
action taken by the Democratic legisla-
tors OH two occasions declaring Goebel
governor, was favorably discussed by
some Of the Democratic members. They
say this would not be concession that
the former proceedings were illegal, but
would probably put an end to the con.
troversy sooner.
The matter has not been decided on
officially, but majority of the mem
bers who are outspoken on the matter
expressed themselves as opposed to re-
opening the matter in any form. They
will abide by tho decision Of the party
managers, however.

THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.

state Treasurer BEACON Completed It's
Distribution In Pennsylvania.
HARRISBURG, Feb. l9.-State Treas
urer Beacon completed the distribution
of school appropriation for the current
fiscal year ending May 81 next. This is
the first time the school districts have
been paid before March since the ap-
preparation was increased to So 800, 900.
The statistical officers estimate the state
revenues for 1900 at $12, ,12l, ,44S.50, or
about 100000 less than the receipts for
1899. Mr.. Beacon says if business con-
ditions continue as good for five yeas as
they have for the present Is months the
state will be able, under the present
revenue law, to meet it's obligations, but
that even the present conditions will not
justify any increas of appropriations.
He believes it would be mistake to
change the present system of state taxa
tion i'll Pennsylvania. The large in
crease in the state revenues the past
year over the previous IL months have
enabled the state treasurer to settle
promptly all the claims against the com

sALIsBURY's HIGH IDEAL.
Believed to BE Sacrificing Politics, to
What He Believes to Be
Statesjnansliip.

LONDON, Feb. l0.-There is a growing
impression that Lord Salisbury is sacri-
ficing politics TO what he rightly or
wrongly believes to be the statesman
ship of the last quarter of century.
His strength, patriotism and diplomacy
have often been severely tested and not
fouud wanting, hence the idea that his
continued refusal to take the nation
into his confidence at this crisis is
prompted by motives of the highest i'm
portance.
Tho conduct of the foreign office,
where there is not the slightest inclinn-
tion to underestimate the difficulties or
overestimate tho national capabilities,
certainly bears out this solution Of the
enigma that puzzles the Conservatives
ms much as it provides capital for tho
Liberals. flf
A reasonable supposition was suggest
ed by well-known peer, who said: "It
is more than likely that Lord Salisbury,
though seeing no immediate likelihood
Of foreign complications, wishes to pre-
pare for the contingency and be able to
meet it with free hand unfettered by
any recent utterunce confessing weak
ness or exposing stiength.'
In support Of this,,it is interesting to
observe that at, the moment Lord Rose
berry was demanding naval mobilization,
the admiralty was engaged in institut'
/ ing the preliminaries for that very move,
by aocertaining at all the naval ports the
number of ships that could be immedi
atcly commissioned and issuing orders
| for three battleships and three cruisers
| all of the reserve, to coal at once, in or
