Fears Strikers May Lose.

During the early part of one of the
sessions of the Military Affairs Com
mittee of the House Of Representatives
Messrs. Hay, Jet and Slayden were
the only Democrats present, and the
direct examina ton of the witnesses
was proceeding with but few Interrupt
lions. The absence Of objections rather
alarmed some of these Idaho miners
who appeared to give testimony in de-
Tense of the strikers, and one of them,
rushing up to Mr.. Sovereign, said with
some excitement, "They are playing
hi with our case, and neither Sulzer
nor Lentz is here" Sulzer was soon
found however, and he fastened to at
tend the committee.
Important statements made by DR..
France, the surgeon, who attended the
miners, were those which refuted the
charges of the Democratic resolution
that the men in the so-called "bull pen"
received inhuman and brutal treat
ment, and that those who were dying
in the hospitals were denied the pres
ence OF priest OF minister. DR.. France
stated that there was but a solitary in
stance of Father Becker being denied
admission to the hospital, and that was
by Mrs. France, who told him that no
one was permitted to visit William
Lawlor, who was seriously i'll with
pneumonia, during the absence and
without the consent Of the physician.
The witness stated, however, that he
met Father Becker as he was leaving
the hospital and took him to see the
sick man.
DR.. France gave some official light
on the case Of Johnson, who committed
suicide while insane. He said that,
having noted the peculiar actions of
Johnson, he asked for an examination
by the Probate Court as to his sanity.
Two physicians pronounced that he
was suffering from acute mania, with
suicidal tendency. While at the depot
buying a ticket to take Johnson to
neighboring city, where he could be
placed in proper asylum, DR.. France
left him in charge Of a soldier. The
prisoner broke away and ran toward

The Cost of a GROWER.

Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina, is
making a speciality of growing at pen
sion legislation. At a recent session
devoted to the consideration of pension
legislation this gentleman objected to
each bill as it was called and offered
argument in support Of his suspicion.
Mr.. Sibley, Of Pennsylvania, the gen.
tleman who so recently severed his re-
lations with the Democratic party,
called attention to the fact that it cost
the Government 81 an hour for the
House to sit, and that Mr.. Talbert had
consumed enough time in his objec-
lions to pay all the claims passed at
that session. But Mr.. Talbert evident
'ly thinks he has pension-ha con-
stituency.

by Populist conventions in several North
ern states Of Thomas e. Watson Of
Georgia for first place on the ticket has
caused something of a stir in political
circles all over the South.
Mr.. Watson has stated several times
that he was out of politics, but in view
of recent rumors connecting him promi-
nently with the Populist nomination, the
distinguished Georgian was asked for a
final declaration. Today he issued this
statement:
Under no circumstances would I ac-
cept any nomination or any office. Please
number me among the politically dead
and let me henceforth rest in peace"

In July, 1891, total deposits in all the
banks of Ohio amounted to Sd, G28, 024.
Just five years later on June 30, 1899,
they amounted to SS0,969, 5S3. The in
crease was $36,341, 5o9-or more than
so per cent.
In July, 1894, there were $4,000 per-
sons who had deposits in the banks of
Ohio. At the end of June, 1899, there
were 226,964 depositors. Within five
years the number Of people who had
money to put away in the banks had
increased by S4,S65-a gain of 60 per
cent
Notwithstanding this very large adj
dition to the number Of money savers
in Ohio, which would alone account for
most Of the $36,OOO,OOO additional in
deposits, the figures of Comptroller
Dawes show that the average amount
to the credit of each depositor in the
State of Ohio had increased by SAB
from 1914 in 1894 up to 1857 in 1889.
1t is perfectly safe to say that Repub-
lfcan prosperity under the administra-
ton of the Ohio President, William
Mckinley, has reached the pockets OF
the people in his own State.

supplies. There were forty general car
goes, amounting to total Of $4,000
tons; eleven cargoes of coal, the total
being 22,850 tons; and thirteen vessels
brought in lumber with total Of
9,19S,520 feet. The acquisition Of these
islands by the United States has given
an impetus to Honolulu that has at
tracted the commercial interest of the
world. The carrying and shipping to
this port has grown with such rapidity
that the increase of trade in December,
1899, compared with December OF 1893,
is something phenomenal.
Figures Of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Treasury Department show that
exports from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands have more than dou-
bled since 1897, and were S4,500,000
larger in 1899 than in 1898. This shows
the benefits to American producers and
manufacturers Of our expansion policy
through Hawaiian annexation. Export
figures from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands in the last three cal
endar years were as follows:
1897. 1898. 1899

A Republican Challenge.

The party which is trying to belittle
the administration because a few

memory. On the slavery question the
Republican party is ready to challenge
comparison with the Democrats, and
not make any undue reference to either
Abraham Lincol2 or the emancipation
proclamation.

Ohio's Bank Deposits Increase.
Prosperity in the Buckeye State has
been advancing by leaps and bounds.
1t Is in the air. People there feel,
breathe and touch it. They cannot
cross the streets or open their farm
house doors without seeing abundant
signs of it. Factory smoke stacks belch
it forth. The well filled dinner pail
savors Of it. The wage-earner feels it
in his pocket, while his wife and family
sec it in their homes amid the luxuries
and comforts with which they are now
surrounded. New garments take the
place of cleveland badges" Free
soup and free silver have given way to
honest work and honest money. The
job hunts the man. The man isn't
hustling for the job.
These facts are self-evident to all
jewellers in Ohio, as well as to those
who visit and pass through the "State
Of Presidents" If proof were needed
1t can be found right at hand in the
last annual report Of the Comptroller
Of the Currency, Charles T. Dawes, of
Illinois. His official returns make the
following remarkable exhibit:
