l. OF Ignite.

One of the benefits of the construc-
ton of the Washburn road is the de-
velopment of the coal industry in the
state. Along the Missouri river, IN
northern Burleigh and in Mclean
counties, there is the finest quality
of Ignite coal in the state. The sup
ply is ineXhaustible, and the tests
completed at Fargo show that it is
equal, ton for ton, to G. per cent of the
best Youghiogheny coal. This value
established, with a railroad operating
through the coal fields, they as
sumo an Importance to the material
interests Of the slope that is hardly
realized.
There has always been a prejudice
against Ignite coal, presumably for the
reason that it was so plentiful. But
with the eastern coal supply always
lessening, and prices advancing, it is
no insignificant thing that the north
west has an inexhaustible supply of
fuel, answering all the purposes of the
eastern coal and that a be used
through the state at a dollar a ton less,
capacity for capacity.
The development of the mining ini-
dustry OF the state has just begun.
With the next decade remarkable adj
vances will have been made and a.
wide market opened for Ignite coal.
The recent tests are and must be pleas
ing to all persons who want to see
all the industries of the Missouri slope
developed.

llllllS OL CIle WOIkluS Ildu, DIS Liz
cornerstone Of the prosperity of our
country, we recommend that congress
create a department of labor in charge
OF Il secretary, with a seat in the cab
met, believing that the elevation of
the American laborer will bring with
it increased protection and increased
prosperity to the country at home and
to our commerce abroad.
These planks are worthy of a little
study. The republican plank is posi-
tive, frank and definite. 1t distinctly
says that the republican plan for bet
teriny the condition of American labor
is to maintain the policy of protection;
to protect, by a tariff, the labor Of the
United States from the competition
which free trade would certainly pro-
duce in allowing the products of pau
per labor from both Europe and Asia
to come into the American market and
thus stopping mills, factories, mines
and the thousands of industries now
furnishing remunerative employment
to American skill.
What does the democratic platform
promise? In another plank it op-
poses a protective tariff, and for the
uplifting Of the condition of Ameri-
can labor it promises nothing more
and nothing better than the creation
Of another office. They say, in effect,
we love the American laborer so much
that in the event of our success at the
polls. we promise to try to create a
secretary and a lot Of other %oficehold-
ers to look after the interests of lab
oring men, unmindful of the fact that
there is already a non-partisan de-
partlnent of labor doing efficient and
satisfactory work for the labor inter-
ests of the country. Were the labor
interests of the country to be placed
in charge of a cabinet officer, the mat
ter by the very nature Of the case
would have to become partisan.
Laboring men can easily weigh the
respective merits of the two parties
with reference to their influence on the
question of work and wages by COM
pairing the tramping armies, the char
ity soup houses, the silent factories,
the grass-groWn railroads., and the
of 1898 and 1S94-produced
by the democratic threat of a policy of
free trade or revenue tariff-with the
protective tariff and its results, as seen
today with busy mills, crowded rail-
ways, employed labor, good wages, and
the heaviest exports ever made by this
or any other country since nations be-
gan to exchange products. Labor will
be slow to give up an evident, tangible,
constant condition of prosperity for the
promise Of creating another office to
be filled by a henchman of the boy
orator of the Platte.
Bryan says it is better to open the
minis and cut the dollar in which
are paid in two in the middle.
President Mckinley says it is better
to open the mills and continue to pay
good wages in the best money the
world has ever known. 1t is for labor
TO decide which of the two policies is
most likely to butter his bread.

REPAIRING THE "BLOODY TOWER"
Modern Additions to LOndon's Ancient
Monument Removed.
From the London News.

fFoul tne lDluOn News
That venerable part Of the Tower of Lon
don known as the Bloody Tower is under
going considerable repairs at the hands of
the masons. The upper portion of it, which
faces Traitors Gate has been refaced in
parts, pointed and colored to resemble age.
The building is to be restored all around.
Chalk, in large blocks. enters largely into
the composition of the inner parts of the
walls. and is declared by the masons to
be as hard, if not harder, than ever it was.
Some parts of the wall by the Tower are
fourteen feet thick.
The greater part of the outer surface Of
the Bloody Tower, like that of the Bell
Tower and some others, has since the year

portions of flint have been specifically
embedded. This was in rough imitation of
the old solid flint work of ancient times.

part, which is of the irregular order of
masonry, but that is unavoidable, and may

carelessly done in much earlier years. For
Instance, the doorway that led from RAJ

Bloody Tower, in which the infant princes
were supposed to have been murdered, had
been bricked up from the inside to give
support to portion of the Tower. This has
all been removed and the Tower strength

oak door, with its heavy fastenings which
had been covered by the wall, lies now On
its side on the wall. and when the rotten
ness at the bottom is repaired is to be re-
stored to its place. 1t was through this
doorway that Dfghton, Forrest and TyrelI

Madison, you know, is the capital of the

In the center of the business district are
situated the capitol building and grounds,
