DAILY LEADER,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1900.
OFFICIAL Paper OF CITY and COUNTY.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION

Republican measures and policies in
congress are not meeting with very
hearty endorsements aver in the house
of their friends. The reciprocity treaties
arranged with different countries aboard
are meeting with little favor for the
same reason that the presidents propo.
sitson to give free trade to our island
possessions was denied. The Hanna.
Payne shipping subsidy bill Is also 60
ing under. since a study OF it's provisions
shows that it proposes a great big steal
for the big merchant lines already
established and leaves little to O
age new shipbuildlng. Even the new
financial bill has to be considerably
modified to meet with any kind Of an
endorsement from the people, and should
the South African republics win out
against the English designs on the
African gold mines, it is doubtful il the
measure could command votes enough
to pass. Verify, the republican schem.
ers are fathering too many unpopular
to be sure of holding the
country with them.

Congressman Gamble has introduced
a bill to establish mining experiment
stations in all mineral land states in
which a chemist and geologist shall be
employed sni assay all rocks offered by
citizens OF the United States for a NOM
nal Zee, showing the exact amount OF
precious metals contained therein. This
would no doubt help out our School
o. Mines support, as the government
experiment station at
brookiDgs helps out Brookings college.

The Rubicou has been crossed IN a

members OF the ways and means COM

expansion and free trade cannot 90 to-

ridden, protective tariff must prevail.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-There was an ntte,
lack OF interest in the debate in the
house OF commons. At no time was the
house well filled. The speeches were
academic, travelled in deep worn ruts
and did not touch upon the future, in
which alone the public is much inter.
ested. The only sign of animation dur.
ing the whole session was when Sir
Robert Threshie Read attacked the

be contrary to precedent to curtail the
debate as the amendment was a vote Of
upon which the fate of the GOV.

Senate Committee Considers the Bill
Framing a Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The senate
committee on Porto Rico continued the
consideration Of the bill to frame a gov.
eminent for Porto Rico, but did not
conclude its labors. The committee
practically decided, however, to leave in
the bill the provision for a delegate in
congress who shall be a resident Of the
island, WI taxable property there and
read and write the English language.
On the question of the tariff the com.
mlttee agreed to a duty equal to 25 pe,
cent OF h rates Of the Dingley law on
all articles shipped from the United
States to Porto Rico and also on articles
Slapped from Porto Rico to the United
States.

Probability of a big Strike Of Miners
Somewhat Lessened.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2.-The chaotic
differences between the coal operators
and miners existing late at night, were
somewhat better in the morning light.
The joint scale committee has decided to
allow the subcommittee appointed last
Saturday to wrestle with the scale. The
national board officers of the United
Mine Workers, save President Mitchell.
We're excluded from the subcommittee
deliberations. Just before going into
the meeting, President H. L. Chapman
Of Ohio, said:
1--WE will grant the miners an advance
Of II cents a ton on the screen basis-no
more, and this is plain talk. We decided
last night to do this"
A national board member Of the
United Mine Workers, who is also u
member of the joint scale committee,
said:
1.-THE miners end Of the Joint CON-
mittee, at their conference, agreed to &C
cept ID cents advance: to allow the screen
basis in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
give Illinois and Indiana a run Of mine
basis. The miners will not go below
this Is cents advance. If a settlement
is not made by Saturday night, 1 fully
believe that there will be a general
strike in the four states now in the in.
terstate agreement
The Illinois and Indiana miners are
as determined as ever not to give ND the
run OF mine basis. Illinois with her
$4,000 strike fund will hold out, the
leaders say, to the bitter end. If an
agreement is made on a Is cents per ton
advance for screened lump coal, it will
meal about two-thirds Of this increase
where run of mine basis is adopted,

ADA, Mimi, Feb. 2.-This city was
visited during the night by the most de-

lack OF fire protection, it was impossible
to get the blaze under control and it

There is always sympathy for the
person who lights a fire with kerosene
and for the man who loses his money
in an investment scheme that pays $40
per cent interest. Yet gross ignorance
and cupidity can only be disciplined by
cruel experience. The man who invest
Cd his money in the Franklin syndicate
was either fool who did not deserve
worldly possessions, or q knave who
hoped to feed upon the gullbllity of the
public In company with the rascal who
planned the job. The law can keep hu-
man sharks at distance, bur 1t cannot
keep their prey from going to them. In
the worship Of something for nothing"
is found all that is weak, selfish, envi
GUS and dishonest in human nature.
Thus, while one part of humanity is
prowling for chance to get something
for nothing, another is batting it's trap
for the first. If the two DESTROY each
other in the duel, the world is the gain.

a calamity.

European women have craze for
tattooing at the moment. They cause
themselves to be decorated with drag
ons, serpents, griffins and such things
and call the figures Autographs. The
Queen of Greece is said to have had
her ankles tattooed with some small
figure, and Partisan woman, hearing
OF this, went her one better and had a
SPIDER web tattooed on her shoulder.
She claims to be delighted with the
result, for she says when in full dress
the "tattoograph" gives her an air of
mystery, and attracts people to her
shoulder If not to her side. If ia NOT
stated that the mouse has become a
popular figure. A woman who could
be guilty Of such folly is not far re-
moved from n savage, and it is safe to
say that this fad will not be adopted bv
