HEWlTT'S HEAD is LEVEL

NEW YORK. Oct. i.-Abram S. Hewitt
has written an oren letter TO President
Mitchell, of the Mine WORKERS Mr..
Hewitt denies the assertion that he is a
champion of the operators and an OPP
ponent Of the mine workers. He asserts
that his intention was to demonstrate
that Mr.. Mlschelrs policy was contrary
to the spirit of American institutions and
the operators could not treat with the
mine workers without violating their OBJ
legations as trustees for the owners or
the coal property.
Nj. Hewitt says that whatever Issues
may have been involved in the strike
originally. ne IS now satisfied that the
time has passed when tae public will pay
any attention TO any Statements from
you or Mr.. Baer or from me. They. want

TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.
The platform declares that the I'M

alton should be limited to the necess1-
ties of the government economically adj

trade as the traditional Democratic prin-
ciple, and opposes the system by when
a surplus is locked up in the treasury
thereby contracting the currency.
On trusts and monopoles the platform,

that the man who gave that solid

silence brings it's own reward.

watch for the renewed phoenix to

nix upon close scrutiny happens

their production. You have brain
and you have muscle; these are
powers your Creator has given you;
He has commanded you to make
good use of them by using them
for the purpose for which they
were given you, and not to waste
them by using them for the adj
vancement of your own interests
without regard to the interests Of
humanity in general.
Selfshness is wrong because it
disregards the command of ma
lures law of human duty; it is
wrong because it is a waste of the
divinely delegated powers of brain
and muscle, by using them for the
production Of results that are in
adequate to the efforts requisite to
their production, and it is wrong
because it takes from humanity
the privilege to use for its own
happiness and comfort that which
the Creator has intended for it.
Selfshness has brought into the
world all the misery and woe that
the human race has endured since
the time when the first man looked
with hope toward the rising sun
on the worlds first morning. It
has brought into>lhe world all the
tears of mothers and the incon-
solable signs of sweethearts and
wives. 1t has been the cause of
wars that have turned fair and pro-
ductive regions into trackless
wastes of desolation and despair.
SeIfshness has bowed the gray
heads of fathers watching the fires
of domestic paternalism die to
lifeless embers of sorrow over
family ties severed and broken
forever. It has torn rulers from
their thrones, humhled proud ma
tons to the dust, and deluged bat

Well, Christmas Day arrived

which fairly sagged from the load.
Edgar's friend enjoyed it i'm
mensely, and the old people took
to him at once. The children had
made tours of inspection from the
house to the barns, the milk house,
the pig pens and chicken houses
until even they had concluded to
stop and eat. Willie was duly
"joshed" and complimented in
several sly remarks, and denied
everything. Said his 'blamed"
collar made his face red, it was so
tight it stopped his circulation.
It took him all the afternoon and
late in the evening to make the
girl understand what he meant
by it.
During the meal, the converse

Uncle Jack was RECALLING the COM

that she had come back to former
familiar haunts as ghost. In
the meantime Aunt Adelaide's
prisoner had escaped and at that
time stood at the top of the stairs,
stretching his neck toward the
sound of familiar voices below and
considering whether to hop or fly
down. He took a step over the
first stair, lost his balance and flew
the best he was able to. Uncle
Jack had got to the point: Eyes
