WAR sPEcks.

Just now there appears a speck of
war brewing athwart the political
horizon between the president and
the Republican majority in the lower
nouse NJ congress en- the Cuban reci-
prociiy recommendation. TO follow
out the presidents policy in this res
pect, appears TO many of the stgiwarts
complete abandonment of the long
herlshed Republican policy on the
tohn question. and they win not sur
reaoer without a struggle.
A trong sentiment in the upper
house Of congress contends that the
arif may BE readjusted by means o.
goeoral or special treaties without
me aid or consent OF the house Of
representatives, and the old tariffites
of that body vigorously challenge the
position.
The question Is likely 10 bring on
a bitter war within the party ranks,
and as the president is aligned with
the position taken by the senators OF
his party, it naturally invites the an
tagonism Of his party in the lower
house. and the war is likely to grow
into a storm cloud.

A STING THAT HURTS.

The political outlook for the OK
lahoma Republican party is far from
rgassuring 10 its leaders. This is
aggravated by the factlonai feuds
among the party bosses which, in
stead Of healing over. gives early and
constant evidence of becoming more
and more irreeoncilable as the time
approaches for the next general elec-
tion.
The treatment OF Ex-Governor
Jenkins by the machine bosses OF the
party has undoubtedly left its sting
ranking in that gentleman's bosom,
and his friends like him, intend that
the chief actors in his undolng snail
feel the weight Of their resentment
when the time comes for action.

the public announc9leht than the

nc scHLEY REPLY

The published reply Of Judge Advo-
cate Lemley and Counsel Hanna Of
the navy department to Rear Admiral
schley's appeal TO the president
against the majority findings OF the
schley court Of inquiry, is not at all
disappointing to the country. The
court was appointed to carry out the
programme and the wishes of Secre-
tary Long and the navy department.
and the majority findings were pre-
cisely in accordance with the wishes
of the department. Admiral Dewey's
findings for Schley will stand with
the American people and all lovers
of gallant men and .a.r dealing lone
after Secretary Long and his tools are
consigned TO oblivion The whole
thing was the coarse piece of work
done by the navy department in the
whole history of the government.
If Admiral Schley was in absolute
command OF the feet when the Span
ish feet was captured ana sunk, ana
the American people have the official
word Of Admiral Dewey that he was,
schley has the right to demand that
that point be settled and settled for
ever, and he had the right to ask the
highest authority which Is the presi-
dent, commander in chief Of the army
and navy. to settle it.
II he was In command legally and
technically as well as actually, there
can be no sort Of harm to the navy
and the government in giving him the
credit to which ne Is entitled. No
man ever won fame and honor and
retained them which rightfully be
loaged 10 another, Is an axiom that

Wan ted A Leader.

Democrats who have been hoping to see a leader emerge from the campaign just past everywhere confess them selves disappointed. The task of piec- ing together the broken fragments of their party and making a strong, re- spectable and respected opposition ap- pears as hopeless now as at any time in the last six years. In some quarters in the east, owing to more or less local causes, the democrats made some gains, but they were overwhelmed in the west by an exhibition of enthusiasm for the president and contentment with repub- lican policies which offers no ground for expecting any revival of democracy from that quarter. Such gains as have been made in the east place emphasis on no leadership and no principles as the hope of further progress.
 In one state conservative doctrines were avowed; in another appeals were made to the support of socialists. One state platform cut loose from anti-im- perialism and another stuck to it. Tariff reform was emphasized in some places and aroused no interest in others
 No matter how much they may want to get together again, the old adher- ents of practically disrupted demo- cracy have TO common body of living issues about which they can agree, and no inspiring living leader about whom they can rally. When they stop to talk of the situation they can merely lament for the dead. One writer the other day after surveying the field of discredited living democrats, gave up the search, and said that if William F.. Russell were only living the require ments of the situation would be met. So they might be if Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were living, pro vlded they could recognize in the social ist tainted organization called democ- racy any such likeness to the party of their devotion as to warrant their try ing to rescue it from destruction. But neither Jefferson nor Jackson nor Rus sell will come back. The democracy must search among the living for gen erals to marshal it's hosts, and so far 1t searches in vain. The republicans have an inspiring and vital leadership in

HOW OIL CHEAPENs MINING.

The important part that petroleum is destined to play in mining economy is interestingly illustrated in the fol- lowing statement made by w. C. Rals- ton before a meeting of the executive committee of the California Miners as- sociation:
 "I recently visited the Vandalia mine (IIl Dorado county) and learned some thing that was quite a surprise to me, ' said MT. RalstOn. T found that, with an S0-horse-power engine, they were using Coalinga oil, distilling the oil and using the gas to run a gas engine, and their cost for the last five months has been from r to 20 cents an hour for S0- horsepower. That is $1.S0 a month per horsepower. Free water power can not beat that. I thought our pow CT at the Melones mine was pretty cheap. We have the Stanislaus river and it costs us nothing but the main tenance of the Hume, but, taking the cost of the dam, the cost of the flume the cost of maintenance and the charge off to depreciation, and we cannot pro- vide power for $1.S0 per month. And there is a plant there that was a rev elatiOn to me in regard to cyaniding the raw ore. They Lave 470-ton tanks and in As hours they are extracting S5 to 30 per cent. They are getting the cost down there to nearly $1 per ton. n."-Ou Mining and Finance.

MINING NOTES.

The South Bisbee is now down 1,Ol4 feet. They have struck a level where the water is troublesome. They have practically suspended until they can install a pump and a compressor. They have passed through several fattering deposits of ore on the way down, but paid little attention to them as they are strictly after the big thing and do not expect to strike the bonanza short of 2,O00 feet They are now in the hands of the Calumet people which means business. The west shaft of the South Bisbee is a purely exploration proposi- tiOn, being a single compartment shaft. It is down 500 feet, with little results to date, not expecting anything till several hundred feet lower.-Bisbee Review.
 Of late a few carloads of slag were pulled away from the old Copper Queen dump and used for ballast. Ma ture investigation, along with careful assays, developed the surprising fact that the whole dump, embracing thou sands of tons, ran over 10 per cent Iu copper. Go along the foot of the dump and you can sort out tons of matte that will run over 40 per cent in copper The company have finally awakened to the fact that they have scattered thousands of tons of valuable material along their grade between Bisbee and Don Luis.-Bisbee Review.

PRIVATE SAFES FOR THE HOME

The clumsy safe which formerly held
 the precious stones and documents of
 the wealthy has practically beer abol-
 ished in the homes of those who can af-
 ford to keep abreast of the times in
 such matters, and in it's place have
 been introduced curiously wrought
 places of concealment which the profes-
 sional burglar would have great diff
 culty in finding. Modern explosives
 and electric burglary tools have made
 1t almost impossible for safe manufac-
 turers to produce steel boxes that can
 not be broken into, and while they as
 sure protection against professional
 safebreakers in banks and vaults by
 the help of electric alarms and other
 devices, they no longer trust entirely
 to steel boxes in private houses to keep
 out thieves. A little secrecy has been
 found to be worth more than foot Of
 chilled steel. The old fashioned home
 or office safe is a direct invitation to q
 burglar. He knows that the diamonds, jewelry. and spare cash and valuable documents are kept there. Otherwise.
 why have a safe in the home? There is hardly a man who does not at some time have considerable valuables in his home which he must intrust to his pri- Vate safe. The most ingenious method of mod ern safe builders is to construct re- ceptacle for valuables in the walls. { floor, or ceiling of the house. The work
 is as ingenious as it is effective. An ex- pert examines the different parts of a room selected for the purpose, and fin ally hits upon a place where conceal ment can be made the most effective. A square of couple of feet or more is ! taken out of the plaster, and a chilled steel safe is made to fit in the hole thus
 made. The inside of the safe is lined | with plush for holding diamonds and
 precious jewels, and there are compart-

President Roosevelt, and are going on to face new problems. They are liv- ing problems, on which men may differ, and the line should be drawn so that both sides of the questions may be thrashed out squarely. There ought to be sound and sober opposition, with convictions. instead of a ragtag and bobtail, whose only principles are dis sent for the sake of dissent from re- publican measures, no matter what they are. Yet no such opposition seems about to crystalline, and no leader cap able of creating a living national de- mocracy appears. Even Hill, who might have led living, if socialistic and demagogic party. is now discredit- ed. Looking over the whole country there is no man in the democratic party who has at once political power and popular respect. It is the most melan-, choly spectacle a once great party ever presented, and it is not one which be- lievers in party government and bal anced control of affairs can look on with satisfaction.-N. Y. Tribune.
