WILL HE?

Some of those unquiet souls who
cannot await the coming of times and
seasons are trying to name the man
who as Governor shall be the success
sor of General Mccullough. Now
there is one of the partriarchs over in
the county of Caledonia, in the sacred
city of Johnsbury, who in years-as
well as locality--is nearer heaven than
any of the already named The latter
will not for generation pass the time
limit of candidature for the governor
ship. In fulness of years, ripeness of
experience, completeness of equip
ment, and public services rendered,
among east side possibilities, like
Abou Ben Adhen's, in u certain case,
Jonathan Ross name leads all the rest
for the next occupancy of the chair of
the Chief Executive.
Will the ex-Judge and ex-senator if
the rays of the Office searchlight fall
on him, and the people issue their
mandate to him, will he respond
"Here am 1, come forth and lead
them to an old time victory in 1904?

years of age, at which time he joined
the ranks of the old time Knights of
Labor. Then he migrated to Colorado
and thence to Arizona. His fortunes
were those of the average adventurer.
In 1891 he drifted back to his native
State, Illinois, and, that his biograph-
er might have an opportunity to weave
in a bit of romance, Mitchell married
an Irish American girl, Catherine
O'Rourke, and settled in Spring Val
ley. There are five little Mitchells
now.
Mitchell was elected II sub-treasurer
of the organization of which he is
now the head. From that time his
rise was phenomenal and three years
later finds him acting president of
the Mine Workers of America. 1t was
in that year. 1898, that the public out
side of the coal region learned of John
Mitchell. He won recognition for the
miners of soft coal, and the following
year his ambition was gratified. He
was elected president of the organiza-
ton. Flushed with victory he led the
anthracite workers to battle again in
1900 and won.
For twenty-one weeks, John Mitch
ell has waged war against the combined
wealth of practically every coal car
rying railroad and mining operator
in Pennsylvania Backed by his or
ganization, the United Mine Workers
of America, Mitchell says he will win.
1t is useless to write of what has
TRANSFERRED during the five months past
events are too well known to need
rehearsing.
In his home life John Mitchell is
transformations. AS citizen Of Spring
| Valley he is one of the foremost. And
he is not without honor at home for
his fellow citizens have made him
president of the board of education.
He finds time for athletics and is at
| the head of an athletic association.
He devotes portion of his time to a
! literary club of which he is member
This is Mitchell, of whom the world
is curious to know. This is the man
who ordered the strike. This is the
man with whom President Baer of the
Reading railroad company refuses to
confer. This is the man to whom
President Roosevelt has granted an
audience, the man whose cause Gov
ernor Odlell of New York has cham
/ pioned against the millionaires, and
the man upon whose account he
publicly rebeuked the president of the
Reading railroad and compelled him
to apologize.

END IN SIGHT.

Washington, Oct IA solution
of the anthracite strike is in sight.
The conference between President
Roosevelt and the mine operators has
borne fruit. Contrary to the general
opinion the operators have agreed to
the appointment of commission by the
President of the United States to
whom shall be referred all questions
at issue between the companies and
their own employees, whether they be-
long to IA uniou or not, and the deci-
sion of the commission shall be ac-
cepted by the operators. The COM
mission is to consist of an army or
navy engineer, an expert mining en-
gineer not connected with the coal
mining properties, one of the judges
of the United States court of the east
ern district of Pennsylvania, man
prominent as a sociologist and man
who, by active participation in mining
and in selling coal, is familiar with
the scale and commercial future.
The operators also make part of
their proposition that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the comm is
sion is constituted and cease all int er-
ference with non-union men, the COM
mission to name a date when its find
ings shall be effective and to govern
conditions of employment between the
companies and their own employees for
at least three years.
Although President Mitchell makes
no statement it is believed by the adj
ministration that the proposition of
the operators will be accepted by the
miners, as it covers the proportion
made by Mitchell to President Roose-
welt.
Wilkesbarre Pa, Oct. l4.-Presi-
dent Mitchell said this morning he
had received no official mobilization
of the proposed arbitration He had
no statement to make now, nor would
he give out one for publication, until
such ratification is made.

NOT DISCOURAGED.

President Roosevelt is by no means
discouraged because the recent con-
ference called by him did not solve
the problem presented by conditions
i'm the anthracite region, and although
the situation is decidedly discourag-
ing the President does not give up.
He has incurred the enmity of the
operators because they believe that he
sides with the miners and he has in
Cured the hostility of some of the
labor organizations, who criticise his
last proposition to President Mitchell.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Roosevelt is
not concerned with the interests of
either the miners or their employers.
He is doing all in his power to end
the strike. Certain politicians say
that he would have done better to
leave the situation alone, that he will
get little thanks and much blame for
his laudable efforts but he says he is
not working for himself but for the
people whose representative he is.
Believing that he should have better
understanding of the actual conditions
in the anthracite region it is now quite
certain that the President will appoint
a commission to investigate, and do it
thoroughly, that he may be able to
make an intelligent and correct report
to Congress at the opening of the ses-
sion
In the meantime, he is urging At
torney General Knox to spare no re-
search to find some legal method for
removing the " intolerable situation. F"
If Gov. Stone calls on him for federal
troops he will gladly respond. He
feels that order must be preserved al
though he believes the militia will
prove sufficient to that end. Adjutant
General Stewart and General Corbin,
of Pennsylvania, have explained the
situation to the President and assured
him that the reports of disorder were
greatly exaggerated by sensational
newspaper correspondents and that
their forces were amply able to cope
with the situation at present.
Secretary Shaw is aiding the Presi-
dent in every possible way and his de-
cision which admits Welsh coal duty
free will afford relief and assist some
what in arriving at solution of the
problem. Secretary Shaw's decision
is to the effect that all coal which is
practically softer than that which the
law specifies shall pay duty, shall be
admitted free.
This will save the importers sixty
seven cents per long ton, the tariff Oh
coal containing less than ninety-twc
Der cent fixed carbon. -

LETTER FROM j. j. EAGAN.
Mr. Eagan Challenges the Evening
Argus A Proposition.
Montnelier. W.. Oct. 18. 1oO2.

Vs. wv lDY l'VSs
Editor of Daily Journal Permit
me to answer some of the statements
made in the Evening Argus of last
week Wednesday and Thursday even
ings First, / wish to ask the Argus
who struck September 1st., and why
don't they tell where they were going
to put their help that were out on n
strike, that is those seven that went
out one week before September LIST :?
The Argus has advocated for several
years that the proper way to deal with
strikers was by arbitration, but | sup
pose that was not meant for their
office, for they have absolutely refused
to arbitrate this case, they prefer to
misinform the public, with such state
ments as they have made in their
paper. Why don't they state that they
would not arbitrate, also that they
advertised for non-union help to take
union helps place?
AS l stand ready to defend the bust
ness mems committee and the union
as well, | will make the Argus man
agement this proposition, which | ask
Mr.. Atkins to accept or reject;
propose that public meeting be held
in the Armory hall, presided over by
Mayor Boutwell,, and l will ask the
Argus management to have any man
they wish to represent their side. |
will take the case from beginning and
will debate it before the public. Let
the mayor appoint committee of five
members of the Legislature. We are
not to know who they are until the
mayor announces before the debate
will deposit $50 to be used for the
expenses of the meeting, the Argus tC
put up an equal amount. If do not
satisfy the committee that the Argus
management is at fault, then the ex.
penses will be paid out of my $50 and
the balance paid over to the strik.
ers On the other hand, if the com.
mittee decides that l have proven the
Argus at fault, the expenses are to be
paid out of their deposit and balance
to the strikers l shall not ask fol-
any more time than their representa-
tive.
So, Mr.. Atkins, choose your man.
and l will show the public that tn,
course pursued by this committee wa
to help you out of hole and not then
or the union. L will also show tn,
public that the few union men tina
you speak of are nearer seven hundred
in this city, than a few, and that i
is the Argus, and not the unions, tina
is carrying on the indecent warfare
And you can apply the last two line
in Wednesdays Argus to the manage
ment of the Argus and not to any o
the Union men or business mems com
mittee. So, therefore, Mr.. Atkins
call on the chairman of the bushes
mems committee, | have deposited IN,
$50 with him. You can arrange i;
time to suit yourself for this debate
L am ready any time. Mr. Corr,
will pass over my $50 to the mayor a
soon as yours is ready which hal
better be before the meeting. Nov
do not be threatening in the Argus
but come out man fashion and NEE
the issue. Signed,
John j. Eagan.

to make just as nearly an exact re.
production of Jerusalem as the ten
acres will permit. In fact, it will
be really ten acres right out Of the
heart of the Holy City. Famous
churches, such as the church of the
Holy Sepulchre and the Mosque Of
Omar, will be reproduced IN almost
their exact size, as will also the Wall
ing Place of the Jews and other his
toric buildings. The whole site will
DO surrounded by an exact counterpart
of the walls Of Jerusalem, showing the
Damascus Gate and other entrances
whose names are household words
throughout all Christendom. The
Garden Of Gethsemane. just outside
the walls. and the Mount OF Olives
will be shown. IL will also be pos
sible to see the pool Of Sloan and
the women washing their garments
therein.
As is we'll known, there are three
calendars in use by the great reli-
gious scots in Jerusalem, namely,
the Armenian, Greek and Roman.
Each Of these great religious bodies
have, therefore, different days on
which certain religious festivals are
observed. Il is the intention to have
professions daily through the streets
Of this new Jerusalem In strict accord
with the professions in old Jerusalem.
