The latest news from Speaker Hen derson's district is of most discour- aging character. The selection of Ben. Jamin F. Birdsall to succeed the speak CT is clear victory for the Cummings tariff revision faction and q blow at the national republican organization. But the nomination of BirdsaII was not the most alarming feature of the third district convention. The actual threat that the Black Hawk county delegates would bolt to ex-Governor Boies was, perhaps, only straw, but it clearly showed how the wind blows in that quarter and is regarded as significant of great danger, not only to ts1% Ee- publican candidate but to republican hopes in 1904. It may be said that the situation throughout the west is the cause of the gravest apprehension to the republican leaders. While omin. ous reports were coming in from the west, Wall street undertook to con tribute to the troubles of the admins tratfon. After exploiting various ru- mors calculated to injure the secretary or the treasury and belittle him in the eyes of the financiers of the country, the story of friction between the secre- tary ang'the president was successfully explointed. It was eagerly seized by the newspaper correspondents, and it's wide circulation made necessary a per- sonal denial by the secretary himself. As matter of fact, the secretary ad- mits that he and the president dis cussed the tariff situation before he made his first speech on the subject, and they were perfectly agreed, as heretofore stated. It is true that the president admitted some necessity of tariff revision at Logansport, Ind, but that was due to his keen appreciation of what was expected of him by the western voters, and, while it proved sufficient to warrant the stories re- ferred to, it was not even then enough to satisfy the voters.

supply the blast furnaces of the world for centuries to come. 1t is only a question of building railroads, open ing mines and constructing coke ovens. Not all good bituminous coal will make coke. Indeed, in all the great coal fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis- souri, and important coal sections of Tennessee and Kentucky, there has not been found an acre of coking coal. Draw a circle around the Councils vile section in Pennsy lvania including the so-called Mountain" operations adjacent on the east; another around the section where Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee meet; another around the Warrior coal field newly developed district in Colorado and Utah, and you have all the known sources of fuel supply for iron and steel making ill the United States. It is true that anthracite coal is still used i'll connection with coke in the blast furnaces of eastern Pennsylvania, but Fit is small and diminishing factor. The circles above indicated, however, embrace deposits so reliable and so ex- tensiye that a rate of consumption many times greater than the present could go on for generations without raising the first question of exhaus- tion.

On the other hand the nay vote shows that the Hon Charles D. Littlefield, who framed the antitrust bill, voted against the amendment His bill was so framed as to include the labor or ganizations in the list of unlawful combinations.

LAST TAG.

When all the supper dishes are washed and cleared away, When magazines an papers upon the table lay, When Sally puts the milk pail out and trails away to bed, It grows so still in our house you'd think some one was dead For mother gets her basket out, her needles an her pins, An ev'ry chick an child to con his next days task begins. But when the clock strikes eight the books are quickly put away, An ev'ry mothers rascal joins in one half hour of play. At half-past eight they march away, but soon come trooping back. To go the rounds, an ev'ry one must get a goodnight smack, An the baby gets an extra one upon his buggy nose, An ev'rybody tries to tag the rest be- fore he goes The first stair steps the safety point, an if the nightgoWns white Get there before me they are safe and conquer for that night But sometimes when I chance to win they aren't satisfied, An so behind the banisters they softly crawl an hide Then down they steal like mice an to my chairback softly creep, While pretend to read or else be nearly half asleep. Then when they think they're just about. to give my hand a tap, put my arms round back an two protesting youngsters clap n Jail between my knees until they own up to defeat, Although it goes agin the grain to give in that they're beat. But when 1 let them go the rogues in effort do not lag, For touching me as off they run, they shout out "La-a-ast tagy"

The triumph of General Alger in the Michigan convention, following as. it did, immediately after the presidents sighting of D. M. Ferry, is regarded as 1nImical to the general interests of the party. As is we'll known, Senator McMillin had built up powerful ma, chine in the state and one which con- manded the support of the Michigan Central railroad. General AIger is no such organizer and it is questionable if he or his friends will contribute as lfberally to the republican campaign fund as did the late senator and his supporters. The shattering of the Me Milan machine is therefore considered serious blow to republican suprema- cE in the state. Moreover, the president has won the support of the voters 10 his Cuban reciprocity policy, and in SD doing has weakened the grasp of Sen ator Burrows and the republican dele gaClon. 1t is admitted that ill recog- nlz1ng General Alger MT Roosevelt falt that he was recognizing the cleaner man and the man who had the greatest claims on the party, for it must be admltted that the position of MT Ferry IS quite analogous to that of Mir Hanna when the latter was first a candidate for the Ohio senatorship, nevertheless U IS often 1njudicious for a republican poiltlcian to consider who is the clean
 CT man. Moreover, it is a kind of no+ ana Kettle controversy difficult to dc. eide '0- ue-

Ex-Governor Boies' letter of accept ance was most gratifying to the demo- cratic leaders in Washington and the country at large, and is taken to indi- cate that he has ill no way lost his grasp on national issues and will prove the same forcibIe candidate that he was when he ran for governor. 1t is believed here that his chances of elec- tion are excellent and it is already pre- dicted that he will become a leader on the democratic side of the house of representatives.

The United States will never lack coal, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine, for the basis of all iron and steel making is reliable coking coal and iron ores suited to the Bessemer or the basic process of producing steel. The ConnellsviIIe district in western Penn sylvania carries the largest known seam @ feet) of high grade coking coal. But the district is distinctly limited, and at present rate of mining will be exhausted within generation. Nature, however, was lavish in providing re
