Congress and was looked upon among
the Wings as a young man of great
promise. In 1919 President Taylor,
pleased with his manner and having con-
fidence in his abilisy. appointed him Gov
ernor of the then territory of Minnesota.
In this capacity he acquired large tracts
of land for the United States by nego-
tiating treaties with the Dakota and
Chippewa Indians. In 1855 he was elect
ed Mayor of st. Paul and was the sec
ond Governor OF the State. being elected
In 1S6O and serving four years. At the
expiration of his term as Governor he
was chosen United States Senator and
during the twelve years he was in that
body took a prominent part in its pro-
ceedings. He was Secretary of War in
the cabinet of President Hayes.

GEORGE II. DURAND
FOR RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Postmaster General Payne Wants an
Appropriation of S12,OOO,OOO.

Postmaster General Payne Wants an
Appropriation of 100000.
Postmaster General Payne will ask
Congress for S12,000.OO0 for rural free
dalivery for the next fiscal year The ap-
preparations available for this year are
$500, 900, which will doubtless have to
be supplemented in December by def
cheney appropriation of about 100000.
This service started in with an expert
mental $4,000. and in the fiscal year
which ended in July, 1901. only S1,1J0,-
900 was expended.
There are now more than $4,000 rural
routes in operation, which it will take
S9,00O,O00 annually to sustain, and the
extra $4,000 asked for will be for new
routes. Fist-term Congressman, who
are able to do little in Il legislative way,
find peculiar solace in getting rural routes
established as an evidence before their
constituents of activity. The growth in
the service will be rapid until the whole
country is covered.

As the result of disturbances in Lack
awanna County, where non-union miners
Were attacked by strikers, the Thirteenth
regiment of the National Guard was call
ed out TO suppress the growing lawless-
ness. Attacks upon non-union men have
become frequent. and Sheriff Schadt,
feeling that the situation was be-
coming too serious for him to deal with.
appealed TO Gov. Stone for the militia.
The Thirteenth regiment of Scranton
was Immediately ordered out.
Throughout the entire anthracite re-
gion there is n very bitter feeling against
those of the miners who have returned
to work and their families. \ strong
boycott is applied wherever practicable.
and the boycott enters-into every phas
of life. Thus in Wilkesbarre Sunday
the members of Sunday school class
refused to sit on the bench with girl
whose father is ''scabbing" it. Children
have refused to attend school for some
what similar reasons, and applicants for
the position of teacher have failed OF ap-
pointment for the sole reason that they
belong to families some of whose mem
bers were working in the coal mines.
without any hope of settlement. writes
a correspondent on the ground. The min
ers are as determined to-day not to yield
as at any time since the beginning of the
labor war. Instead of being depressed,
they are buoyant and hopeful and look
upon il merely rs n matter of time when
the operators of the collieries will be COM
PEELED to yield.
The funds which are rolling in from
organized labor are sufficient to keep
them from suffering and as long as these
contributions are made it is nonsense to
speak of the miners weakening. All
have enough 10 eat. and the little garden
patches help much in contributing to their
support. There is no rent to pay. In
dividual owners gladly give the miners
time and the companies have to. The
latter dare not evict. for no one could
be found to serve the process. Beside
the houses would stand vacant. in case
of eviction. If. indeed. they would stand
at all. The probabilities are that the
houses would be torn down and used for
kindling wood
The leaders of the strikers are conf
dent that they will win. They say they
cah ANU VIII TeHiaiH OUT Ill WinteT, IL nec-
essary. But they do not believe that
this will be necessary. They are con-
vinced that when the cold weather comes
such howl will go up from the people
for coal that the operators will be COM
PEELED to yield.
The operators on their side are equally
determined. They still hope to be able
to starve the miners into subsection. They
profess to be gaining ground among the
miners. although this contention is fierce
ly assailed One thing is certain, that
the product of their mines and culm
banks is only as a drop in the bucket COM
pared TO the public demand for fuel.
Three weeks ago the shortage was 2S.-
100000 tons and that shortage is grow
ing greater every day.

settle confidence. Stringency is consid-
cred only temporary and chiefly of impor-
tance TO spectators. while large imports
of gold promise relief Crops are max
ing encouraging progress, despite some
INJURY from frost. Labor disputes are
few. the anthracite coal strike being the
only one that retards progress, and each
week shows some increase in output.
Fall distribution OF merchandise has be-
gun unusually early. while the volume Of
orders already placed indicates much the
heaviest aggregate on record" The fore
gong is from the weekly trade review OF
X. u. Dun x Co. II continues:
New England manufacturers OF foot
wear are well occupied, new business
coming forward more rapidly than old cr-
ders are TILED in many cases, SO that ae-
tvity Is assured well into the future.
Leather is quiet, with no sign of weak
ness. but large receipts of cattle at west
ern markets caused a slight reduction in
prices OF packer hides from the record
breaking figures that have prevailed. Cot
ton goods are more firmly held, as the
raw material develops strength. and light
stocks In first hands give the market adj
ditional support. Woolens and worsteds
are notably quiet because leading con-
Germs have sold their entire product of
staple goods.
At the South and West conditions are
especially favorable. shipping depart
ments working vigorously, and payments
are promptly made. Traffic congestion
causes complaint, yet railway earnings
thus far available for September show a
gain Of 40 per cent over last years re-
turns. and 1o.I per cent over 1900.
Ofhcial returns of foreign commerce
during August show the improvement in
exports over the two preceding Months
that was indicated by weekly movement
OF merchandise and staples. and imports
far surpass the corresponding month in
preceding years. This liberal buying in
foreign markets testifies TO well-sustain
ed domestic consumption, particularly as
TO iron and steel,

ROOT TALKS AT PEORIA.
Secretary of War Star Orator at Re-
publican Rally.

Elihu Root. Secretary of War. was
the star speaker at the Republican rally
at Peoria, Ill. He devoted his speech
mainly to defense of the administra-
ton policy in the Philippines and an ap-
peal to support the President by sending
Republicans to Congress this fall. He
said:
"Our position in the Philippines to-day
Is far better than the most sanguine
American could reasonably have expect
ed in those early days OF 1899, when the
Democratic press and Democratic lead
ers We're joining with the Republicans in
the declaration that the insurrection
must be put down.
Before the American people determine
whether they will withdraw from the
administration which has done these
things the power TO continue its effec-
tive action, and hamper it by an adverse
majority in the House of Representa-
tives, l would like TO have them under
stand and consider what part the Dem
ocratic party has played in this his

The speech delivered at Logansport by
President Roosevelt was the one he was
to have given in Milwaukee. On learn
Ing that he would have to so to hos
pital and abandon his tour he concluded
20 use the speech prepared for the Cream
City. Ii is in part as follows:

1t is perhaps too much to expect that from
the discussion of such n question IL would
be possible wholly to eliminate political par
tisanship. Yet those who believe, as we all

tem is after all simply 10 subSerVe the pub

p.rtisanship On a matter Of this kind con-
fkts with the public good. 1t shall at least
lie minimized. What we really need In this
country Is 10 treat the tariff as n business
proposition, not from the standpoint OF the
temporary needs Of any political party.
IL surely ought not TO be necessary TO
dwell upon the extreme unwisdom, from
business standpoint, from the standpoint OF
national prosperity, of violent and radical
tariff changes amounting TO the direct up
setting Of tariff policies ut intervals OF every

be hoped that this problem can be solved IN

Pus Removed from the swelling by
the Use of Needles.
DIR. Geo. Ii. Oliver. who assisted at the
operation on the President, speaking Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's injury and the nature Of
the surgeons work, said:
''As result of the bruise received in
the Pittsfield accident, there ensued a
swelling on the inside of the calf OF the
leg just above the ankle. A deposit of
serum had formed in pear-shaped swell
ing. The abscess was very painful, ow-
ing largely to its location. 1t was thought
that the swelling might extend further
if it were neglected. and this fact, taken
in conjunction with the inconvenience
the wound caused the President, caused
us to decide TO remove the pus by aspira-
ton.
This is a simple process. requiring
merely the insertion OF needles. 1t is
painful only owing to the infiamed condi-

PUPILS BRING OWN FUEL.
Milwaukee School Children Garry Two
Sticks of Wood Each.

In the schools Of the Ninth Ward,
Milwaukee. the coal famine is being felt
TO such an extent that the children have
been compelled 10 furnish their own fuel.
Wood boxes have been placed in the bar
racks and the teachers have asked each
pupil 10 bring two sticks of wood each
day so that the barracks may be heated.
In Philadelphia hard coal is selling at
$40 ton-that is. if the customer wants
more than two tons in lot. The price
was put up TO S15. and there We're many
demands at that price. Many customers

and it was agreed by the coal men to put
the big lot price up to $50. Ii is said
there are not over 1,O0O tons of hard coal
