The Attack on Roosevelt.

This year new element has been in
troduced into the campaign. The ap-
peal is not only to the discontented but
to the disOrderly. Personal abuse has
taken the place of argument.
Angered by the desertion of thous-
ands from their copper-head standard,
the Democratic leaders have made the
man who alone ranks with Dewey as n
living American patriot the object of
their vilest attacks. Governor Roose-
welt, one of the cleanest men in public
life, the most popular volunteer soldier
of the Spanish war. the most respected
of political leaders in New York, is pic
tured by them in way to arouse the
hottest passions of the rabble. No man
of intelligence, Democrat or Repub-
lican, can be influenced by such ap-
peals. However. the Democratic cam
paiSn Is not now directed to men of in
telligence. but to the riffraff.
Fortunately, every personal villifica-
tion of Roosevelt, every slander spoken
against the United States soldiers, ev-
cry manifestation of lawless violence,
Is not only a confession of weakness on
the part of the Democratic leaders, but
is public evidence of the spirit that
would be promoted throughout the land
in case Mr.. Bryan should be elected

BOTH SIDES OF
THE COAL STRIKE

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. ia canvass
Of the operators of the Wyoming valley
to-day shows that there is considerable
opposition to granting any more con-
cessions than those outlined in the orig
inal offer, namely ten per cent. increase
without any conditions. The individ-
ual operators especially are opposed to
tying themselves up to any agreement.
One operator said the only way the
strike can be settled is for the strikers
to accept the ten per cent. without any
provisions.
Superintendent Chase of the Lehigh
Coal Company said: 1.-The demand Of
the strikers that the operators should
agree to pay the increased wages for q
fixed period is too arbitrary and tho
operators will hardly agree to It,"
Despite the views of operators the i'm
preston here is that the strike will bo-
ended this week.
Shamokin, Pm, Oct. 15.-The terms
of the Scranton convention are not ac-
ceptable to the operators and represen-
tatives of coal carrying companies in
this place and Mount Carmel. The
Reading officials do not think the slid
ing scale will be abolished by the COM
pany, while operators are averse to-
signing contract binding them to pay
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.-The United
Mine Workers officials say they are
now again waiting on the operators,
and that they will continue to close the
collieries that have been in operation
since the strike began four weeks ago.
There are many reports in circulation
that If the strike continues much longer
break in the ranks of the idle men
will occur.
President Mitchell and his associnte-
officials, however, reassert their conf
dence that the men. both union and
non-union, will remain away from the
| mines until after the strike is declared
off.
There is fear prevalent in this re-
gon that IL some of the men do return
to work trouble would probably arise
through the efforts of the strikers to
persuade the men to remain on strike.
All the collieries that are working
still retain heavy guards.
Shamoliin. Pa, Oct. 15.-A1iners say
they will not go to work until officially
advised by President Mitchell.

DENVER WOMEN AROUSED
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED

would make mn efficient and popular
representative in Congress.
The case is similar in the second
district: Mr.. HOgg is man whose
personal character, like that OF Mr..
Bell is above reproach. Those who
have heard him speak can decide for
themselves whether he is not n strong
er and ADLER man than the present
representative. There can be no per-
sonal reason why he should not be
elected, and the political reasons, as
stated above, are certainly very strong
In his favor.
The Democrats, from all accounts
sent from the East, have practically
given up electing their candidate for
president. but they are making des-
perate effort to secure control of the
next House, SO that they may block
legislation and tie the hands of Presi-
dent Mckinley If possible. In this
effort the state of Colorado should be
no party. Whatever may be said
of the personal character of the pres
ent representatives, they certainly
misrepresent the state of Colorado on
all the leading questions before the
country. The are both obstruction
lists; they both favor the "scuttle poll
cy In the Philipplnes-Mr. Shafroth
especially being bitter in his denun-
citation of the policy of expansion.
Colorado wants In Congress men who
represent the real sentiments of the
state on the main questions of the
day. Mr.. Bonyne and Mr.. HOgg are
two such men; the voters should see
to 1t that they are elected.

The bulletin concludes as follows:
1t may be stated that during the
years in which the course of wages
declined, the rates of 1891 and 1892 in
many instances remained unchanged,
and in like manner during the last few
years, in which the general course of
wages has been upward, the wages in
these instances have not of course, re-
sponded to the general rise. In other
instances the per cent. was notably
large during the years of depression,
while during the last two years of the
period the reverse is true and n much
larger increase really took place than
that indicated by the table.
In other words, wages in some in
stances show but little fiuctuation,
while in other instances they are much
more sensitive, responding quickly to
general conditions of depression or ac-
tivity. The average condition or gen.
eral level only Is shown in the table
and while, for the reasons stated, the
fluctuations during the period have not
been so great as popular opinion would
indicate, the figures for 1899 and 1900
show gratifying average increase
over the conditions of 1891 and 1892,
when wages in gold We're higher than
at any period in the history of the
country prior to the present year.

GROWTH OF POPULATION
SHOWN BY THE CENSUS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Of the
75,OOO,OOO (more or less; the exact num-
Der Is not yet known even to the d.
rector of the census) Inhabitants of the
United States, 19,G70,9S4 dwell In cities
of 25,OOO or more population. There
are 5,17G,0IS farms and 1898 cattle
ranches In the United States, making
a total of 5,7S4,27G, which, estimating
hve persons-men, women and children
to farm, represents an agricultural
population of 2S,021, $50. This leaves
2G,OOO,O0O or thereabouts in villages
and towns of less than 25,000 popula-
ton.
In 1880 there were seventy-five cities
In the United States with population
of 5000 or more, aggregating 9,017,-
81; in 1880 there were 124 cities with
25,OOO population or more, aggregating
IL, 1884, ,691, and this year there are 161
cities with population of 25,OO0 or
more, making total of 10,G10,9S4. This
shows an increase of 40.57 per cent. in
the urban population during the first
decade, and 31.02 per cent. during the
second decade. In other words, the
city population of the United States
has not increased so rapidly during the
last ten years as 1t did during the pre-
vious ten years. This fact surprises
the statistlcians. Some cities, like Oma-
ma and Sioux City. sprang up like
mushrooms between 1880 and 1S9O but
were unable to sustain their population
during the hard times, and in 1893 be-
gan to fall back. Others, like Memphis,
did not wake up until 1890, and then
spread like the traditional banynn tree.
The cities which show the greatest
Increase of population during the last
ten years and their percentage OF in
crease are us follows:

religious enthusiasts have broken up

selves obnoxious to the community,

GENERAL INCREASE
IN WAGES

Washington, Oct. 15.-Carroll d.
Wright, commissioner of labor, has is
sued bulletin giving n summary of
data In n previous publication on
trusts and industrial combinations"
showing the rate Of wages in various
occupations for period extending
back in most cases from the present
year to 1901. The data was secured di-
rectly from the pay rolls of establish
ments In all sections of the country.
The information contained pertains to
14S establishments, representing 90 in
dustries and 1872 occupations. Those
items for which the data for the whole
period were not given We're excluded
from consideration in the summary.
All the data included, except those for
mining. relate to manufacturing indus
tries, the data relating to steam rail-
ways and street railways having been
excluded from the industry. The bull
letin says that while the data from
which the table of wages was prepared
do not afford the basis for a strictly
scientific calculation of relative wages,
careful examination of the figures
lead to the belief that they are fairly
representative and undoubtedly ap-
proximate very closely the actual con-
ditions for the whole country.
The summary shows as follows, the
average of wages of 1891 being taken
as basis and representing 100:

Enormous Western Fossils.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 15.-Professor J.
b. Hatcher, curator of. .paleontology in
the Pittsburg museum, has just return
ed from extensive explorations in Utah,
Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska. AS
a result three carloads of material,
weighing thirty tons, are on their way
to the museum. The collection contains
complete skeletons of the diplodocus
and brontosaurus, monsters about sew
enty-five feet long from the tip of the
nose to the end of the tail, and standing
seventeen feet high at the hips.
In the White river beds immense sue
cess was achieved by the expedition.
The party recovered beautifully perfect
skeletons of the titanotherium, a beast
nearly as big as a mastodon; of the
acoratherium, of hornless rhinoceros
and of the excessively rare meryco-
choerus, of which only n few frag-
ments have been heretofore known.

BENJAMIN HARRISON
Gives Some Reasons Why Bryan Should
Not He Elected.

Not He Elected.
"The general reasons | gave in my
Carnegie hall speech in 1896 why Mr.
Bryan should not be elected still hold
good with me. His election would, l
think, throw governmental and busi-
ness affairs into confusion. We should
not aid the election of President who
would admittedly, IL he could, destroy
the gold standard, and other things that
we value even more, upon the decep-
tive suggestion that he has been bound
and that the Republican party will, af-
ter defeat, still have strength enough
to save the temple. 1t will be much
better not to allow the man with de-
structive tendencies so much as to lean
against its pillars.
BILE If give you. and underwrite as Of
this date, this extract from my Carne-
gle hall speech:
'.'When we have President who
believes that 1t is neither his right nor
his duty to see that the mail trains are
not obstructed, and that Interstate COM
merce has Its free way irrespective Of
state lines, and courts that fear to use
their ancient and familiar writs to re-
strain and punish lawbreakers, free
trade and free silver will be appropri-
ate accompaniments of such an admin
istration and can not add appreciably to
the national distress or to the national
dishonOr.'
"The economic policies of the Repub-
lican party have been vindicated by the
remarkable and general prosperity that
has developed under Mr.. McKinley's
administration-succe n period of
great depression. A change of admin
istration this fall would almost certain
ly renew conditions from which we
have so happily escaped. The full din
ner bucket is not n sordid emblem. 1t
has a spiritual significance for the spir-
itually minded. 1t means more COM
fort for the wife and family, more
schooling and less work for the chill
dren and n margin of saving for sick
ness and old age"

One of the moving stairways which
are being adopted by the elevated rail-
way in New York has been started and
is now in successful operation. 1t Is
said that the traffic at that station has
increased fully 100 an hour over the
normal rate. but this probably Is due
largely to the novelty of the thing.
There are, however, many people who
would patronize the elevated road
were it not for the stairways to be
climbed. In appearance. the new de-
vice resembles the old stairway. ex-
cept that one-half of the staircase
proper is a piece of moving rubber
mating that works not unlike a
threshing machine elevator and sounds
like one, somewhat subdued. One sim
ply steps upon it and steadies himself
by means of side rail. when he is
carried to the car platform.
