GOmpers ON the Anthracite Situation.
Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has visited the
anthracite region within the last week,
He believes that the miners had no
alternative but to strike after the op-
orators refused arbitration.
He says that the anthracite miners
tried to learn the lesson of contentmenr
preached by their employers and got
worse conditions as reward.
Their wages have been cut down
and their cost of living increased" is
his summary of the causes of the strike.
In speaking of the conditions under
which these miners live, he says:
''You who have never seen these things
can have no conception of the wretched
lives OF these men. Not only does the
sun shine through their poor hovels- -
owned by the company-but the rain AMI
snow and wind and sleet comes through
as we'll.
do you know that the miners wives
and children are compelled to deal at the
company's stores and pay any price they
choose to charge. The miners never
hold dollar of any sort in their hands.
"The children are born in the company
houses, brought into the world by COM
pany doctors, when they die they are
buried-in the cemetery owned by the
company.
'The courts in which the men are
tried are owned by the company-and
the very prisons in which the men aro
confined are owned by the company"
Mr.. Gompers reviewed the strike of
'97 in the bituminous coal fields. That
these men had obtained better condi-
tions for the last two years he said was
solely due to the exertions of the miners
themselves. who made their declaration
of independence. and not to any politi-
cal party.
The anthracite miners are much bet
ter organized than were the bituminous
miners, but the coal combine considers
its monopoly so complete that 1t can
afford to do as it. likes and disregard
public opinion.
In the nature Of things these striking
miners have no reserve fund to carry
them through long strike. Their
brethren in the bituminous fields will
spend their last dollar from their treas
ury as If II. were in their own fight. but
organized labor-and for that matter.
all citizens will be asked to help these
men in their plucky fight against the
greed and selfishness of this monster
trust.
Wage workers with the memory OF
Homestead, Hazleton and Coeur d'Alene
still fresh, need no argument to realize
that If the coal trust is not taught a
lesson. 1t may be only a short time be-
fore the struggle against trust for the

Ringing Resolutions Adopted by the
Populists Of Ramsey County.
The Peoples party Of Ramsey eaunty
in convention assembled. rssnrn the -
sential doctrine of every platform the
! Peoples party has put forward since i:
[ began to exise-that the will of the peo-
pie is the supreme law Of the land. The
people are sovereign, the ultimate power
from whose decisions there can be ao
appeal, and that this holds good in In
dustrial az we'll a. political governmen...
We demand for the people the right
to propose laws to accept or reject them
and to recall from office any public serv-
ant they may be dissatisfied with:
We demand that the activity of judges
be strictly limited to the judicial func-
tfon.
We emphatically deny their right 10
put upon laws interpretations not war
ranted by the language in which suca
laws are expressed. and demand that
they administer. the law as they fin:l
it.
in language that can be understood by
those who have to obey them, and not
in such a thieves lingo that they serve
the purpose only Of those who profit by
litigation.
We deny that 1t is within the province
OF Judge to maintain public order, out
side of the court room in which he. pre-
sides, and assert that the maintenance
Of public order is the business of legis-
letive and executive bodies.
We assert that the ever advancing tide
Of judicial usurpation and lawlessness
is gradually undermining the founda-
ton of republican government, and that
the power Of plutocracy to tyrannize
over the people through arbitrary judi
cial action must be curbed. if American
liberty is to be more than a hypocritical
farce.
We assert that there is imminent, un-
avoidable conflict between the people
who work and those who exploit them,
that there can be no peace nor truce
between labor and those who purchase
labor in an over-stocked market at rates
governed by cut-throat competition, and
sell it in monopoly governed market at
rates fixed by conscienceless greed.
We declare that in the pending, ir-
repressible conflict between humanity
and those who prey upon humanity we
are unequivocally for man and not for
the dollar. and that the cause of tha
weak, the defenseless and unfortunate is
our own, and we will never rest until we
have wrung from hypocritical o.
ganized scoundrelism that guarantee Of

railway and warehouse commissioned
rendered me by that party at it's last
state convention.
have hesitated to do so because arn
somewhat advanced in years, with nc
inclination whatever to enter active poll
tics, but when / reflect that the great
principles of government ownership and
operation of railroads and kindred utili-
ties, so plainly announced in the Omaha
platform. has entirely disappeared from
among the principles discussed by the
great political parties of this country
and that fusion has taken it out of pub
lie discussion, and. knowing as do, tha;
such government ownership and opera
tion is the only solution of the trust
question. and that all the so-called rene
dies advocated by Bryan and the Demo
Gratis on the one hand, and the Republi-
cans on the other, are delusions and
have only the effect to deceive the peo-
pie, I cannot refrain from a desire to
support and maintain some organization
that will keep this great principle before
the people.
Especially obnoxious to me is Mr. Bry-
ans theory of publicity and license, fol
l can see wherein it would tend to, still
further monopoly and to unlimited of.
fetal corruption.
: Competition In securing licenses, fav-
oritism and other things of like kind
would furnish field for unscrupulous
combinations far more attractive thar
anything they now have, therefore it il
that government ownership alone seems
to offer the only remedy, and, therefore
it is that decide to accept this nomi-
nation at the hands of the party which
makes this the prominent and distinctive

claimed the master wizard of the present

most marvellous. He appears at the Jeffer-

sides feats of pure sleight of hand, he will
Introduce his latest illusion cremation

DEFENDS MR.. PECK
Arthur Valois Denies the Charge
Against the Commissioner

New York, September 2.-The French Line
Steamer La Touraine arrived from HaYre
today.
In the cabin was Arthur Valois, United
States commissioner to the Paris EXPOSE
ton. He defended Commissioner General
Peck from the cabled charge that he had
acted discourteously to State representa-
tves to the exposition.
In speaking of the story that Mr.. Peck
had secretly worked to prevent Mrs. Man
ming and Mrs. Palmer Potter from being
decorated by the French Government he
said:
THAT is impossible, for 1 know how
such things are done. The names for the
Legion of Honor are handed in and passed
on their merits. 1 know that Mr.. Peck
presented the names of Mrs Manning, Mrs.
Palmer Potter and Michael H. De Young
for the order. AS to there being criticism
over there being so many representatives
from the United States and the difficulty of
supplying all with invitations to entertain
ments, all | can say is that there is al
ways trouble when a big enterprise like
the exposition Is under way. There are
certainly many officials from this country
to the exposition"
Lieutenant H. Bruenby Ward, F. Moale,
Jr., and ]. W. Chan, U. s. N, returned
on the LaTouraine. They are on their way
fem the Asiatic station to report to the
Navy Department. Miss Reilly, daugh-
ter of Captain Reilly, who was recently
killed in China, and her aunt, Mrs. Rice
Smith, also arrived.

DR.. TALKS Of FOOD.
President of Board of Health

what shall 1 eat?" is the daily inquiry
the physician is met with. l do not hest
tate to say that in my judgment, large
percentage of disease is caused by poorly
selected and improperly prepared food. My
personal experience with the fully cooked
food. known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
From overwork, l suffered several years
with mailnutrition, palpitation of the heart
and loss of sleep. Last summer l was led
to experiment personally with the new
food, which l used in conjunction with
good rich cows milk. In a short time after
/ commenced its use, the 'disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts action
became steady and normal, the functions
of the stomach were properly carried out
and 1 again slept as soundly and as well as
in my youth.
II look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that 1t
has most prominent place in a rational,
scientific system of feeding. Any one who
uses this food will soon be convinced of the
soundness of the principle upon which it
is manufactured and may thereby know
the facts as to its true WORTH" w. B.
