East efforts, backed by corporate mil

polls. In the West. reliance is placed
upon ability to hire election officers to
falsify the returns. It is rather sea Iy

the only possible hope for the triumph

Spooner for the Cabinet--The Hon.
John C. Spooner's voluntary declination,
made months ago without apparent cause,
to again stand for election to the Senate
from Wisconsin, at last is being accounted
for. It is said that he has been promised
a place in the Cabinet in the event of Mr..
McKinley's reelection, and that he will
succeed the Hon Ethan Allen Hitchcock as
Secretary of the Interior. This explains
Senator Spooner's great activity in the
campaign When he announced his deter
mination not to ask for reelection to the
Senate it was generally thought that this
foreshadowed his permanent retirement
from public life, and that he would take
no part in this campaign. But he has been
on the stump almost constantly for a
month, and it is conceded that his elo-
quence has done Mr. Mckinley considerable
good in the close States of the West. 1t
is also said that Senator Spooner's recent
visit to the President at Canton was for
the sole purpose of clinching the Cabinet
bargain. The promise of a portfolio, it is
stated, was made to him by Mr. Hanna.

The Scranton Miners Convention.
While everyone is interested in
speedy settlement OF the labor war in
Pennsylvania, both on account of a threat
ened anthracite coal famine and because
long continuance of the strike must
involve great suffering to the strikers and
their families, II would be useless to shut
our eyes to the probability that re-
sumption of operations is still far of,
unless the Coal Trust is prepared to make
further concessions.
delegates to the Miners Convention,
which is to meet in Scranton on Friday,
are being elected generally from the
mines whose owners have posted notices
of advance. But in many, and perhaps
most instances, the delegations are going

group of thirty-nine mines the Fepresen-

shall be absolute, and irrespective Of any
reduction in the price of pow6er. Other
delegations will demand 4 written agree
ment that the advance shall be maintain
ed for year. Others still will hold out
for recognition of the union.
It Is easy to see that. matters stand
today. the miners and the Coal Trust are
by no means close together in their views
Whether the convention will bring them
closer. or not, remains to be seen II is
question as to how far President Mitchell
and other leaders may be able to control
action, should they see fit to interpose their
active influence to force a settlement A
delegate convention OF thousand members
is an unwieIdly body to handle in the best
circumstances. This one will be represen-
tatiye of constituencies with a common
cause and grievances in general, but ex-
isting under varying labor conditions in de-
tail It will probably take some time and
pains to secure common basis of action
acceptable to all elements in the body
That however. may be accomplished
without great difficulty. if the Coal Trust
and its satellites shall show a fair and
equitable disposition. If the terms proposed
! by the operators so far represent their ulti-
mate willingness to make concessions, the

ment is out of the question at this stage Of

about to materialize. A meeting OF
the members has been called for to-
morrow evening to transact important
business, such as liquidating member
ship fees, and determining upon a set
of bylaws to govern the club AS has
already been stated, it is proposed to
lease for three years some 20 or 80
acres of the Woods farm just west Of
the Bethany pike, running from the
lane which leads to the Woods home
stead thence parallel to the pike some
600 yards, thence west 200 yards, thence
in southeasterly direction to, or near,
the starting point 600 yards. The
course will comprise six holes, re-
curing therefore the players to make
three rounds before completing a full
round of is holes, which constitutes
4 game; although. of course, any num-
Der of rounds from one to a dozen
may be negotiated If the twosome, OF
foursome, as the case may be, SO

promoters. has made a most careful
examination of the territory; he report

the holes is $50 yards, 400 yards, 200

together with the diversified lay of the
land, contain nearly all the requisites
so dear to the skilled golfer. In addi-

Another Golf Club Is under the pro-
cess of formation and In all likell-
hood will materialze very soon. A
portion OF the farm of DR.. Bates, on
the Greggsville Pike Is the location.
There are some 40 or 80 acres right on
top of the hill well adapted for golf
and, as a matter of fact, through the
kindness OF DR.. Bates, an enthusiastic
admirer of the sport, and his family,
many local golfers Of both sexes were

summer and the early fail. An ex-
ceilent nine hole course could be made
out Of the territory: the air Is SALT
brious and the scenery beautiful, in
fact the only objection that could DO
made to the location Is It's distance
from the city. The objection, how
ever. will not deter all and besides,
there are some who doubtless would
prefer the up and down hill walk from
the moter line to no walk at all. But

they are well under way and the peo-
pie OF both sexes and all ages learn

Since writing the above we learn
that a number OF gentlemen met at the
Office Of w. r. White, at the Exchange

form a golf club for the purpose OF
leasing the Highland golf links. They
have appointed committee Of three TO

propose to get the links in excellent
