ONCE MORE idle.
The Big Iron Furnaces at Grand
Rivers Closed Down.

The Grand Rivers furnaces are
again closed down.
The last experiment 10y st. Lou
is capitalists, who have invested
thousands of dollars in iron ore
lands and iron furnaces in the
Narrows, proved satisfactory as far
as the successful manufacture of
pig iron was concerned, but the
capacity of the ore furnace that
was started proved so much great
or than the supply of the raw ma
teriai that the project has failed
to prove the financial coup expec-
ted and the furnace which was OPP
Grated has been blown out. The
future Of the iron industry there
now may only be specialized.
1t is stated, however, that both
the furnaces will be blown in as
soon as the projected railroad is
built from the ore lands between
the rivers to the furnaces. This
would curtail the expense of hand
ling the raw material aud it could
be supplied as rapidly as needed.
There is nothing definite as to
h, W long the furnaces will be idle
The charcoal furnace at Grand
Rivers have also shut down. A
thing interesting about this part
of the furnace plant is that the
charcoal furnace consumed all the
timber that grew on eight acres OF
land every day that it ran.

high tribute to our next con-
gresham:
collie James, the Democratic
candidate for congress in the Pa
ducah, Kentucky, district, is
splendid illustration of what a
young man with ability, integrity
and moral courage can accom-
plish. Although but thirty years
old Mr.. James has become a con-
spicuous figure in the politics of
his state, and he is now entering
the arena of national politics, his
nomination in that strongly Dem
ocratic district being equivalent to
an election.
"Mr. James rise began in the
great inter-party contest which
preceded the convention of 1896,
When some of the older leaders
allowed the bankers and corpora
tons to draw them away from the
masses. Mr. James stepped to the
front and espoused the cause of
the people; and 80 answering has
been his devotion to public inter
ests and 80 valiant has been his
service that he has now been Sc
lected to champion the peoples
rights in the Federal legisla-
ture.
"The fact of Mr.. james receiv-
ing and accepting an invitation TO
speak at the Nebraska state con-
vention held at Grand Island June
"a, indicates that this Kentucky
orator is already in demand out.
side Of his home state. Mr.. James
style of speaking is impressive
and persuasive. He acquaints him
self with public questions aud
speaks from his own deep convic.
tions, reaching the hearts of those
who listen.
I'VE refer in this matter to Mr..
James because his career illus.
trates the possibilities which open
before the Young men of this
country.
The Commoner will encourage
the development of such men, in
every county and precinct. The
young man who struggles while
others are idle, who preserves his
strength by good habits while 9th.
ers waste their energies by dissi'
patton; who tries to see how much
he can contribute to the common
welfare rather than how much he
can absorb from society-such a
young man will find himself grow
ing in public esteem, and at last
will become the chosen represent
alive of his fellows to give voice
to their sentiments and desires.
knowledge, earnestness, char
acter, and a steadfast adherence to
a high purpose will suffice to in
sure political success in any land
where the people are free to recog
nize and reward merit"

The First Declaration o Independence

Not every student of American
history is aware that the Declare
ton of Independence signed at
Philadelphia on July 4, l776, glo-
rious old document that it is, can
not claim to be the first express
sion by American people of revolt
against British rule. The first
Declaration of Independence was
put forth more than year before
the immortal second, and its birth
place was the little town of Char
lotte, Mecklinburg county, North
Carolina. The two Carolinas were
settled largely by strenuous folk
refugees from religious persecr2
ton in Scotland and France, fol-
lowers of Knox and Calvin. Cove

them over sea the sturdy indepen-
dence and the fearlets adherence
to principle which had led them
to dispute the divine right of
kings and uphold to the death the

OLLIE JAMES
Makes a Big Speech Before the
Nebraska Convention.
A TRIBUTE FROM BRYAN.

Hon. Ollie James has returned
from Lincoln, Nebraska, where he
was the guest of William j. Bry-
an, He was called upon to address
the Democratic state convention.
The following dispatch tells how
he won the admiration of the Ne
braskans:
Grand Island, Neb., June "a
Ollie James. Of Kentucky, candi-
date for congressman, scored tn
umph in the Democratic conven-
ton this evening, second only to
that OF William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. James said he had come all
the way from Kentucky to see
whether the Democrats of Nebras-
ka have kept faith with the prin-
ciples and the leader of their par
ty.
The cheers were wild when Mr..
James commented sarcastically on
how good Democrats the reorgan-
izers are when it comes to eating,
and what trouble makers when il
comes TO voting. With biting sat
ire he commented upon the en-
bassy of Whitelaw Reid at the CO.
ronation ceremonies, following
with an enumeration of the places
TO which he would send embassa
doris If they must be sent: To the
Philippine Islands, 10 read the
declaration OF independence; IL
the tomb Of Lafayette; TO oppres'
scd Ireland; 10 the South African
Republics; 10 plant the flower oI
American sympathy on the Boel
soldiers grave on Spion Kop-te
these, and not the browning of q
King he would send embassies tC

sentiments.
The battles of Democracy" he
continued, "shall continue to be
fought; we shall take no back ward
step 1t shall never be said the
Democratic party is the sport oil
every breeze. (Cheers). l have
an abiding faith in the triumph
of the right, and 1 would declare,
though it we're my valedictory in
politics and my words were spok-
EN- in a wilderness, that l haye an
abiding faith in that knightliest
and most incorruptible American
her soil has ever grown-William
j Bryan of Nebraska. For two
national campaigns Kentucky was
proud to follow his banner, and
she would be proud and happy to
follow it once more. (Cheers).
In commenting on the speech
of Mr.. James the Morning World
Herald, of Omaha, says:
"Hcn. Ollie James, the distin-
guished Kentucky orator and no.
minee for congress, was then call
ed on to address the convention
and was most cordially greeted.
From the beginning to the end of
his breezy and stirring address
the convention was swept by a per
feet whirlwind of applause, which
eliminated in a hattering ova-
ton.
"The orator concluded with a
strikingly beautiful word picture
