To Our Credit,

The British war office is now the re-
cipient of vigorous criticism and con-
demnation on account of its loose
methods of caring for the sick and
wounded in South Africa. According
to the disclosures the conduct of the
officials was almost criminal Yet
England is popularly supposed to have
reached almost perfection in all
branches of the army. When we con-
slider the emergency preparations and
the results achieved there is abundant
reason for taking pride in the manner
in which the army of the United States
is conducted

WAGES ARE HIGHER
The Labor Unions Show Greatly In
creased Earnings.
Official Reports from Fifty-NiBe
Trades in the Last Three Years
All Have Been Nisitedby
General Prosperity.

The worllingman of to-day who
does his own thinking has had the
proof presented to him that il is to
his best interests to stand by the
platform and principles of the repub-
lican party. The fact that there have
been strikes during this period of
prosperity no doubt affords great
opportunity for calamity bowling to
the democrats, but they always fail
to point out that strikes during a re-
publican administration are for more
wages, and that strikes during a
democratic administration are against
lower wages. and that labor invaria-
bly, loses. The American wage-earner
wants the present good times and
prosperity to continue Indefinitely,
and he will not vote this good thing
away for any bubble of promises
which only means a disturbance of
their industrial conditions, with less
work. lower wages, idieness, soup
houses. free bread and the poorhouse.
Wages paid in the United States
are from two to four times greater
than the wages paid to the corre-
spending class of labor in the free
trade countries of the world. The

Samuel Bishop, of Livingstone, and
about SO relatives and friends who
had gathered to see him married to
Miss Mary Washel in St. Joseph, were
disappointed by the failure of the
bride to put in an appearance. Bishop
says he came on written invitation
from Miss Washel, secured license
engaged Rev. j. A. Post to perform
the ceremony and invited his friends,
but a visit to the house of his af-
fianced disclosed the fact that it was
deserted. He says he can give no rea-
son for the young lady's actions.

purchasing power of dollar in
America is also correspondence
greater. Admitted that rents and
the prices of native products may he
cheaper in foreign countries than
they are here, this difference is moth
ing like the wide disparity in the
amount of wages earned. Moreover,
the conditions of living must be con
sidered, as well as the nominal cost.
Cheap rents and cheap prices mean IN
ferior accommodat tions and poorer
living To the average worker in
foreign countries most OF the con-
veniences that are in common use by
the American wage-earnerS are posi-
tive Iuxuries. The American work
man and his family are the best ed
ucated. the best dressed, the best
housed and in every the best situated
workers in the world. The American
wage-earner is always the most skill
full workman. His duties and re-
sponsibilities are privileges possessed
by no other laborers, and to his in
telligence and achievements are
largely due the fact that these United
States are to-day the envy of the
civilized world.
Within couple of short years, by
the wise administration of the re-
publican party, the democratic haunts
of idleness have been turned into
hives of industry. Thanks to the en-
actment of the Dingley protective tar
if and the wise administration Of
~. I, h,I -i,,1a
the entire effect of the democratic
free trade policy has passed away,
Millions of persons employed in the
thousands of establishments which
resumed work within the last three
years show only too plainly how far
the influence of business admins
tration has been felt. Side by side
with this record of the resumption
of work is that of the increase of
wages, ranging from 5 to 40 per
cent. and the most gratifying fact
in this matter of higher wages is that
it has been voluntary to a large eX-
tent on the part of the employers.
High wages encourage the increase OF
a high class of labor and high stand
ard of living. The following table is
compiled from the reports of ma
tional and international unions, made
in May, and it shows the per cent of
increase in wages of 50 different
trades or crafts in the years 1897,
1898 and 1899:

With this remarkable exhibit of the
higher wages paid to American labor
the democratic party will appeal to
the wage-earners to place the admin
istration of this country in democrat
ic hands, the sole result of which
would be to restore the era of low
wages, to extinguish the fires of hope
in the workingman's ambition, to eX-
tinguish the fires in the furnaces of
their factories and to cause the pro-
duction of a different table in few

Although big spot has been discov-
cred upon the sun, there is no scientific
proof, says an authority on such mat
ters, that severe heated term will re-
suit in the next three months. Hot
summers have come when no unusual
solar spots appeared, though some OBJ
servers claim that the weather has
been hotter when they were most nu-
merous. Another astronomer insists
that the whiteness at the poles OF Mars
is caused by CONCEALED carbonic acid
gas, not by snow. and that life on that
planet is impossible. In view of the
great abundance Of life on the earth,
under all sorts of conditions, it is as
suming much 10 believe that Mars is a
sterilized body.

Expectation Of American coal has
grown steadily in recent years and at
present is increasing at a very rapid
rate. During the last ten years the
total exports have increased more than
1hreefold. In 1890 less than 100000
tons were sent abroad; in the II
months ending May 80, 1900, nearly
100000 tons were exported. The bulk
of this coal goes to British North Amer
lea, which in 1899 took 3,22O,251 tons,
and Cuba was third with 326.5O9 tons.
The exports to Europe amounted TO
only 40,101 tons.

there were no returns from one of the
counties in consequence of a fire in the
courthouse, so the vote in the county

in Virginia one of the counties was
omitted from the canvass owing to the
fact that some of the local officials
