ITUATION IN THE SIXTH.
TUSCALOOSA Herald

John p, Reese, the candidate for con-
gress on the democratic ticket in the
Sixth district, is adopting rather Pc
sculiar method Of pushing his campaign.
He is still the president of the United
Mine Workers of Iowa, but has ten
dered his resignation to take effect Oct.
1st. At present he is engaged in making
a tour of the state, visiting all of the
unions and bidding farewell to all of his
friends. He holds a meeting with each
union, ostensibly for the purpose of
going over the affairs of the order, and
talking over matters relating to the or
ganization. 1t is true that he does
talk to the miners regarding these mat
tiers, but 1t has been learned that he
also takes occasion to talk politics to
them at these meetings, and urge them
to support him for congress- Perhaps
talking politics is not the proper term.
for MIR. Reese does not assume to be a
partisan. He does not say whether. he
is running on the democratic ticket, or
whether he proposes to support demo-
cratic principles. He simply urges the
members of the union to vote for him
for personal reasons.
These meetings are held behind
closed doors. All that can be learned
regarding them is that Mr.. Reese is
utilizing them for the purpose of Sc
curing audiences to listen to him on the
congressional situation. Just what he
is saying IS not known, further than
that he is urging the members OF the
unions, regardless of party. to support
him for congress. 1t is customary for
unions To hold secret meetings, and
there is no objection to their doing so,
any more than there is to the board of
directors of coal mining company, to
meet behind closed doors. Many union
men believe that Mr.. Reese makes
mistake in using these meetings, which
he attends by virtue of his office. for the

will not be many small postoffices left.

1t is understood that Mr.. Reese re-
signed from the presidency of the
United Mine Workers, because he did
not care to be accused of using his
political aspirations. 1t would appear
that in making political speeches at the
time of his farewell visits to the differ

thing he agreed not to do.
Major Lacey is greatly encouraged at
the situation in the district. As yet,
the campaign has hardly opened and
there is hardly enough sentiment ex-

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.

1t is q widely acknowledged Iact gliidt
in the last five years wages and salaries
have generally been advanced. But it
is maintained by many that the cost OF
living has increased so much that most
men who are dependent upon small
salaries or wages are not so we'll Off
now as they were five years ago.
It is admitted that there are many IN
dividual cases of employees whose wages
have Increased little If any during the
past five years, while their cost OF liv-
ing has been very considerably in
creased. To Offset these in the general
situation are the hundreds of thousands
Of men now steadily and happily en-
ployed who We're out OF work and even
objects of charity in 1897.
The democrats are seeking In this
campaign to prove that republican
prosperity is a myth so far as the
workman Is concerned. because of the
alleged fact that the increase in wages
has not kept pace with the increase in
the cost Of living. The general average
OF wages five years ago, however,
means nothing to the man who was not
drawing any wages then and has a good
income now. But writer in the Out
look proves that the alleged fact is not
real one.
~ 10 a1,,ofr ans m
garding the increased cost of living are
generally based on such wholesale
prices as those furnished by Dun's Re-
view. The accuracy Of these figures
can not be questioned, but 1t must be
remembered that they are wholesale.
While it Is true that oil July l Of the
present year a stock of breadstuffs,
meats, dairy and garden produce, other
food, clothing, metals and miscellane-
GUS, cast 100000 as against $4,000 on
July 1, 1897, 1t does not follow that the
retail price increased at the same rate.
The price OF bread by the loaf has not
inorease&, milk costs no more now than
formerly when bought at retail; the in
crease in the price Of butter and eggs,
fruit and vegetables does not exceed is
per cent; clothing and shoes are only a
little higher; rents of the cheaper
houses have not increased much. The
whole advance in the cost of living is
not more than Is per cent. Such en-
ployes as railway men who occupy the
same positions now that they did five
years ago have, it is true, suffered.
Their Individual wages will not average
1 per cent more than they did in 1897.
But the number of employees has in
creased from $4,000 to 100000, which
means vast addition to the we'll being
OF the community. Railway men did
not suffer great reductions in wages
during the hard times. If they have
gained nothing now, they lost nothing
then. Retail clerks have gained less
than they. But most of the skilled
trades have gained more than 20 per
cent in the rate Of pay and are far more
steadily employed. Unskilled workmen
have gained 20 per cent. So many more
men are required now in most indus
tries than five years ago that the total
wage payments have increased 30 per
cent in most of them.

at the war department for $1,000000. 1t

which she now claims the royalty. Mrs.

Thirty-five deaths from Asiatic chol-
era among soldiers of the United States
army is the record for the period be-
tween July 10 and Aug. H. These fig
ures are contained in a report received
at the war department Tuesday. The
assurances that the epidemic of chol-
era was abating had been so frequent
that this large fatality created surprise
among officers at the war department.
OF the fatalities about half dozen are
those of native serving in the Phillip
pine scouts. The remainder are Amer
