DIR. Joyyett and Bible History.

The following story of DR.. Jowett
was current among the undergraduates
at Oxford in my day. 1t had reached
the masters ears that Ballot men were
not so successful in the examination in
'Rudiments of Religion as in the clas-
steal schools, so that he determined to
call up the next batch of candidates
and catechise them himself in Bible
history. Mr.. Smith," he is reported
to have. said, what prophet went up to
heaven in chariot OF fire?" elijah,
sir" ut is disgraceful that a scholar
of this college should be so ignorant!
Mr.. Jones? "Elijah, SIR" "NIr.
Brown elijah, sir" At this point
the library boy entered, and to strike
the undergraduates with shame he was
appealed to. Tell these gentlemen
what prophet went up to heaven in a
chariot Of fire." elijah, SIR" Then
ensued pause and then, "Well, gentle
men, perhaps it was Elijahv'-Cornhill

UNSUPPORTED.

Maquoketa Excelsior: SO far as
we can see, the question really is,
'Are we to leave the tariff matter
entirely alone or are we to place our
selves in position where we will feel
free to change tariffs, with changing
conditions of necessity and expedi-
ency?" We are and Always have been
a believer in tariff protection for in
FAINT industries. But we do not think
that the adult industry needs the
same care. When great combinations
are reaching their long commercial
arms over the entire world and con-
trolling vast fields of commerce, then
IL looks to us as IL the need for pro-
lection was over. *** For example
the great anthracite coal combine is
selling coal in Germany much cheap
er than 1t Is selling 1t at home, and
there is no reason why we should pay
so dearly for the privilege of protect
ing this industry. ***
Evidently our brother of the Ex-
celsior has been getting inspiration
from somewhat unreliable sources.
We call his attention to the fact
that anthracite coal is on the free list
under the Dingley Law.

COAL PRODUCTION.

According to the United States
geological survey there we're twenty
eight states in which coal was pro,
duced in 1901, as against twenty mine
in 1900, Idaho having dropped from
the list, OF these states twenty one
exceeded last year all previous rec.
ords in production. The greatest in
crease in 1901 was in anthracite coal
in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is
also credited with The largest in
crease in the bituminous product,
follow ed by Ohio, Illinois, West Vir-
ginia and Maryland in the order
named, each of these states increas-
ing it's output over 1900 by more than
1000, 900 tons. The entire gain for
the United States was 90, ,O26, ,t59 short
tons valued at SAL ,s7l, ,675, an increase
in value of 1875 per cent. The total
production for the year was 292. .9Os,-
4s6 short tons, valued at s34S, 1888 ,Oe9
The production in 1881, twenty years
previous, was s5,sS1 ,03O short tons,
valued at s124, ,349, ,1s0. The produc-
tion for 1901 was 269, 1881 1927 short
tons, valued at s3O6, ,s9l 1854.
In the rank of coal producing states
Pennsylvania stands pre- eminently
at the head, both in anthracite and
bituminous, contributing more than
81 per cent of the total production
and nearly Sc per cent of the value.
Illinois stands second in both in
stances. West Virginia occupies
third place, with Ohio fourth and
Alabama fifth; Iowa is seventh on
the list, Colorado ninth, Kansas
eleventh, Missouri fourteenth, In
dian Territory seventeenth, Arkan-
sas nineteenth, New Mexico twen-
tieth and Texas twenty second.

REASON FOR MR.. REESE'S
NOMINATION.

Ottumwa Courier: A telegraph dis
patch which appeared prior to the
democratic congressional convention
of this district, contains the reason
why John P. Reese, president of the
mine workers In this district, receiv-
ed the Democratic nomination for
Congress.
It is contained In q sentence from
that dispatch, as follows: "This dis
trict is now republican by $500 and
is now represented by John r. Lacey
There are 5000 miners In this dis
trict."
1t is the old story over again-a
plsn,a trick to catch the miners
vote and the Populist vote. The
Democrats are expected to furnish
Q large majority Of the votes and to

SILVER COINAGE.

Register and Leader: One of the
good measures that passed one house
of Congress, but failed to come to q
vote In the other at the recent session
was that proposed by Congressman
Hill of Connecticut, to stop the coin
age of silver dollar pieces and in.
crease the coinage of fractional sill
yer.
There is vet in the treasury about
80, ,000, 900 ounces of silver bullion pur-
chased under the act of July ID, 1890,
for dollar coinage, and under the law
this coinage must proceed at a rate
of not less than 81 500, 900 per month
while the bullion lasts. The total
stock of silver dollars in the country
is now about s5ss ,OOO, 900 OF which on
ly about s6s, 200, 900 are in circulation,
the rest being stored in the treasury
and represented in circulation by
paper certificates, The bullion in
the treasury II coined into silver dol
lars would add about s44, 900 900 to
the existing stock.
This bullion was purchased by an
issue OF treasury notes, and these
notes are still In circulation to an a.
mount equal to the cost price of the
bullion on hand. AS the bullion is
coined thetreasury notes are retired
and the coin issued, but the latter is
commonly returned to the treasury
for certificates, the country refusing
to absorb more than from %, ,O0o, 900
to 10000, 900 dollar pieces. The only

with characteristic cunning, g

With characteristic cunning, ev-
cry Democratic paper in the District
will try to construe every word said
against Mr.. Reese the politician as
directed against the president of the
Miners Union. This, of course, will
have no effect on the thinking miner
but may influence some votes. There
is and should be recognized vast
difference between an office-seeker
and an or ganization, and now that
Mr.. Reese has jumped into the poll
tical arena he and his friends must
expect the rebuffs of the hour with
out reference to his other ties or his
previous condition.

From now on the Democrats will
have much to say about a mon parti-
san" Board of Supervisors and mon
partisan" Bench. This is solely be-
cause they have no hope of winning
except by inducing enough Republi-
cans to vote with them. If they were
in the majority they would sing a
very different song and would be out
with an ak for the first man who
dared suggest trade. Will Repub-
licans be duped by tactics of this
sort? We hardly think SO. This year
above all others is the time to vote a
straight ticket, strengthen the party
and continue good times.

nominee for your endorsement as
candidate for Congress has peculiar
ly, during all his life time, met no op-
position, and it seems to be thusly in
this case" In other words, Mr..
Reese has been sort % drifting down
soft flowing river. He Is now about
to enter the sea of politics and expects
his little canoe to weather the break
ers without any distress. But we
shall now see what we shall see.

I'm some of the public libraries of
the United States the percentage of
fiction called for has been reduced
below so. Even this figure is misl ad-
ing. Novel devotees read three times
as fast as those who call for books of
other classes. Novels are often
skimmed or returned as unsatisfac.
tory after few chapters are sampled.
When the novel reading is scaled
down by this consideration the ex-
cess OF fiction taken out of public
libraries is largely reduced.
