IN hence the TWO great pOiie.'SC"i
n parties will be lined up for
their auadrennial battle royal
II seems to be taken for granted
that President Roosevelt will receive
the Republican nomination, if not by
reclamation, certainly without any
,ov,.idarohle onnosition. Present
demonstrations as to the Re
publican vice presidential nomination
point more to Senator Dolliver and ex-
Governor Shaw, the new secre-
tary of the treasury, both of Iowa,
than to anybody else. They are both
said to covet the honor. 1t Will GER

A wear ago Senator Fairbanks. OF

Indiana aspirant has been little dis

Republican ticket. IT, however

adept i'm politics, shrewd, cool and
able. and has fine geographical vantage
ground. His notable leaning toward
lower tariffs would be nightly in his
favor if. as now seems probable. his
rartv should modify decidedly Its pro-
tective policy.
Besides the three men just men
toned one rarely reads or hears at
this time of any other probable run
ming mate for Roosevelt. Some OF the
admirers Of Fairbanks affect to be-
lieve that he would not accept second
place on the ticket, but this may De

There is absolutely no evidence of a
general turning. of the Democratic
masses toward anybody as their most

New issues, newly risen men. many
events and many accidents may IN the
near future upset all calculations that
are now being made. Several times in
the history of the republic its next
president was far less prominent at
this distance from the election than

less prospect of reaching the white
house than any one of these three.

Soe.'' Cannon,
Watchdog of Treasury

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
most contented person in the fifty
seventh congress is Hon. Joseph G. can.
non. member from Illinois Why is he
the most contcnted person? Because he
has served straight away in congress
since the forty-third session, is likely to
serve there until he wears completely
out: he has transplanted nearly the en-
tire population of Danville, ILL.,. to the
various departments of Washington, and
he beat a Prohibitionist who coveted his
seat at the Last election to the sweet
tune of SO,633 to 1,O39. Who would not
be content?
Mr.. Cannon is a Republican, too.
often when the house is deep bent on
listening to flights of oratory by the elo-
quent members. the member from Illinois
will rise to his feet, as If to ask ques-
ton but he only wags his head, smiles
broadly and resumes his seat, where he
sits for hours shaking hands with himself.
Then il is observed that his mind is as far
from the question under debate as Samp-
son was from the battle of Santiago.
why are you smiling so blissfully?'
asked a fellow member one day.
Il am thinking of that prohibitionist,"
Mr.. Cannon replied. Did you ever OBJ
serve how many people in Washington
have the Danville accent?'
Sometimes. though, this most contented
person really does ask question when
he arises to his feet in the midst of elo-
quent oratory. When he does it usually
sounds like this:
Does the gentleman know our treasury
is nearly depleted?"
For this habit he has become known as
the watch dog of the treasury, and the
best informed congressman assert that he
is as capable in his service as ever Hol-
man was.
Mr. Cannon is long. and lean and hungry
locking, indeed. When he walks he
sticks his hands in his pistol pockets, for
all the world like a Kentucky colonel
reaching for his shooting irons. He
wears the Abe Lincoln style of whiskers
and is naked ON the ton Of his head.

MITCHELL's EVIDENCE
Attorneys for the Coal Roads Cross
Examine the Labor Leader at the
Strike Commissions Hearings To-
day.

Scranton, Nov. 15.--when the coal
strike commission resumed its sessions
today cross examination of President
Mitchell was resumed by David Will
cox general counsel for the Delaware &
Hudson Company. Mitchell said the
local unions at mass meetings may di-
rect operations of pickets. Wilcox
read from a statement made by Presi-
dent Gompers at the Chicago trust con-
ference, in which Gompers is alleged to
have said any trust legislation which
did not specially exempt organized Ia
Dor from its operations would meet the
unquestioned opposition Of all labor
forces, and asked the witness IL that
expressed his views. Mitchell replied
that organized labor would not look
with favor upon any law that would
legislate them out Of business. He re-
garded as living wages for miners not
less than $500 per annum, which would
cover his actual necessities and permit
him to educate his children. He meant
that wage was sufficient to permit chill
dren to avail themselves OF the public
schools and to spend a portion of the
family income directly for education,
and sufficient to render it unnecessary
to employ child labor to increase the
income of the family. The minimum
age at which boy should go on break
ers he would advocate to be put at IA
years.
Wilcox took up one of President
Raer's statements. and Mitchell said it
was susceptible of several interpreta-
tons. For instance, Baer is quoted as
saying the slate pickers receive SO cents
day That may be true in some cases,
but we know most of the slate pickers
get much less than that amount"
''If the miners had known at the out
set their differences would go to board
of arbitration they would have asked
for more, SO that while the arbitrators
are settling the question they would
settle 1t right"
Mitchell denied his organization re-
stricted the quantity of work man
might perform, but said it did believe
in regulating the hours of work: the
organization is opposed to miners en-
ploying more than one laborer. He de-
MED any knowledge of the organization
having inaugurated strike because of
the employment of non-union men. He
had beard local unions had suspended
work on this account
When Wilcox concluded his cross
examination the witness was question:
ed by Wayne McVeagh, representing
the Pennsylvania Coal Company and
Hillside Coal and Iron Company. Nc
Veagh said he did not wish to have
Mitchell suppose that he was opposed
to proper organization of labor He
thought where there are large corpora
tions as employers it may be to the in
terest Of the employers as we'll as to
the organization. McVeagh held Mitch
ell down to an exact statement of the
grievance which the miners had against
the companies represented by him. Re-

loss of the coffee crop, which is Guate !.

medium, has fallen to seven cents gold
for one of the paper dollar. Prices for
