This is most gratifying demonstra- tion. It could not have been made be- fore the adoption and gradual execu- ton of the plan for its sea coast de- fense which owed much of it's success to the political influence and authority of a layman whose own studies had been far from military, Samuel J. Tilden. But of course the high officers of the army and navy who have been acting as the inspectors and umpires of the operations are not looking for "reas- surances" merely. They are looking not for evidences of strength, but for evidences of weakness. And quite rightly. The criticisms they will have to make will be of great value when the next of these joint maneuvers oc- CUTS, and still more if the occasion should unhappily occur for the playing of the real game, for which these op- erations are merely the arduous re- hearsal.-New York Times.

UTAH's FOREST RESERVE FIGHT

MT. Henry Gannett one of the ablest and most experienced members of the geological survey corps, is out in Utah to settle a war There is a disagree ment between the sheep raisers and the other people of the state about for est reserves. The people generally de- sire large areas set apart while the sheep dealers oppose extensive reser- vatiCns, claiming that it will cripple if not ruin the sheep business, the prin- cipal industry of the state. MT. Gan nett is the agent of the department of the interior in the location of forest reserves and it is largely on his rec ommendation that these reservations are established.
 Utah seems to be suffering for water and the people are convinced by the government experts that the preserva- ton of the forests and the planting of trees over bare areas will vastly in- crease the volume of water for irri- gation purposes at the time it is most needed. The cities are anxious for the reserves, for from them the water sup ply could be secured from parts where the sheep ranges work no pollution Washington Times.

R.op.nins .h. Coal Mines.

Some of the newspapers throughout the country opposed to the administra- tion, and therefore opposed to the ex- isting order of things are demanding that the anthracite mine owners be compelled to play ball." that is, to re- sume operations. This demand is made in the name of the consumers of coal who, it is said, should not be made to suffer on account of a quarrel between the mine owners and the miners.
 No provision is made for q consider atiLn of the merits of the controversy between the operators and the miners. The owners are asked in peremptory tone to begin work or get out of the way and let somebody take out coal who will. The fact is disregarded that that is the very thing that the opera tors have been trying to do since early last May when the strike began. The miners have been throwing every pos sibIe obstruction in their way and their leaders have from time to time boasted that the collieries could not be started.
 Both the miners and the owners have rights which ought to be determined, and it is for the determination of these rights that the strike was inaugurated and that it has been prolonged at paralyzing cost to both sides and at great inconvenience to the public.
 It is true that the operators have re- fused proposals to arbitrate and bring the contest to an end in that way That has been construed to be an ad- mission of the injustice of their cause. That is perhaps a shallow view to take of it. Arbitration in labor disputes in this country have never been satisfac- tory to either employers or employed and no system of voluntary arbitration can be. If the present controversy were adjusted in that way the owners of the mines would be giT-sT. no assurance that within six months another arbi- trhtion might not be necessary. 1 \ s

filled with censures of the American armys conduct in the Philippines. The remainder is chiefly devoted to de- Runciation of the policy of protection to home industries. Reciprocity is de- scribed as a humbug and worse than protection.
 The head and front of the army's of lending, from the viewpoint of the democratic authors of this book. evil dently is that it put down lawlessness and restored peace and order in the islands.
 The democratic substitute for this policy is. of course that we shall leave the islands at once and permit their people to resume those throat-cutting diversions which we so cruelty inter rupted.
 Because, while the American people have prospered under the protective policy as never before in their history. trusts have also flourished, these dem ocratic leaders would abolish protec- tiOn out of hand and substitute for it absolute free trade.
 Free trade,' they observe. would open our markets to benefit our own country" Free trade is their remedy for trusts and all the ills they ascribe to protection. Free trade with all the world is the goal they set for the na- ton and to which they promise the democratic party will lead.
 The American people have had. how ever. considerable experience of the democratic policies of free trade and free riot, and do not care for any more.-Chicago Inter ocean.

Under law providing for compul- sorry arbitration with penalties for n violation of the terms of agreement by either side. such a law as has been pro- posed for action by the Canadian par lament, each side would be protected against the other.
 In the absence of any such protection against an irresponsible body of min CTS, the owners would naturally prefer to fight to a finish and let the result stand as an object lesson.
 We do not take the ground that the mine owners were right in the first in stance nor that the grievances of the miners were not well founded. Neither is that feature of the case discussed by those who are demanding the immedi- ate reopehing of the mines.

Decline in Klondike Production.

The report that the production of gold in the Klondike has greatly decreased in volume is not surprising. because from the nature of the deposits in that region the question of their exhaustion was one of a comparatively short time.
 It was the placers of California that caused the great rush of gold seekers to that country in 1S49 and the early sos. But they lasted only a few years, and then the people had to turn their attention to other kinds of mining or to entirely different pursuits. Lode mining came into vogue and thousands of men employed themselves in agri- culture and horticulture. Within twen- ty years after the discovery of gold, California began to gain q reputation for its wines and fruits.
 As the placers would not alone have made California a great state, so the placers of the Klondike and the Cape Nome districts will not make the far northwest a permanent mining region. The miners of the Klondike and Cape Nome will have to devote their atten- tion to quartz mining or abandon the field. There is no doubt that valuable quartz lodges and deposits exist in the country from which the placer gold was washed down into the river val leys, and sooner or later many of them will be discovered. This applies to the Klondike as well as to Cape Nome. for although there is no placer mining like that of the temperate regions of the earth, the deposits of gold are practi- cally of that character. When the gold deposits in the mountains and hills are developed the output will grow in vol tune and the annual production may continue to be great for many years to come.-Denver Republican.

The democratic congressional com mittee has not read the figures from Maine with a great deal of satisfaction. The election in that state on Monday was not good augury of the things that are going to happen before the last election returns are in this fall. The democrats had gone to the trouble to show how the Pine Tree state might be carried by them. The much-talked- of dissatisfaction with the republican administration of affairs does not seem to have travelled far northeast.

RECALLS ACCIDENT TO P1ERcE.

The narrow, escape of the president from death yesterday will be a matte: of profound cOngratulation throughout the whole country. The death of the detective who was accompanying him as a safeguard against danger of an- other kind may well suggest the neces- sity of greater caution against other dangers than those of assassination. The accident will recall one somewhat similar which occurred to President elect Franklin Pierce. On the 9th. Of January, 1853. only two months before his inauguration. he was travelling on the Boston and Maine railroad from Andover to Lawrence, Mass. He was accompanied by Mrs. Pierce and their son. 13 years old. when the car was thrown from the tracks and dashed against the rocks. The boy was Killed nstantly.-LOuisville Courier Journal

The democratic campaign book must be a disappointment even to the most cheerful democrats. The main thing in the book is an attempt to make capital on the trust issue. on which it is noto- rious that the democratic party has no record. It has never attempted to do anything. The discouraging character of the task the compilers had before them is suggested by the fact that a chapter of the book is given to the Schley Sampson controversy. The com pliers were evidently short of material for a campaign text book

The Test of the Coast Defense.

The conclusion to be drawn from tho operations thus far is that the New England coast, from Cape Cod to Port land, is fairly safe from sudden attack by naval enemy not very greatly su- perior to ourselves in naval force, and that the coasts of the sound are so for tified and the Qualifications so manned as fairly to protect New York against an attack by that rQute even on the part of a greatly superior naval force.

TO BARTON COUNTY YOUTH.

AS the local college is no more,
the G. n. G.. having been abandon
ed and it's building sold to other
parties, there are doubtless many
young people in this locality
who will be looking for another
school in which to perfect their
studies. In the opinion OF the
editor of the DEMOCRAT the most
convenient and best institution
of the kind is the NickersOn Nor
NAL College, under the Presi-
dency of Prof. E. B. Smith, one
of the best educators in Kansas.
Prof. Smith lived in Great Bend
eight years, and he and his wife
did a great deal to make a sue
cess OF the e. NC. before it fell
into the hands of it's wreckers.
He has the degree of NJ. A. from
Kansas State University, as has
also his wife, and there are thou
sands of studentsi in Western and
Central Kansas who can testify
to the thoroughness and busi-
ness integrity of Prof. Smith
and wife.
Prof. Hull also a former teach
er in the C. n. c.. is now connect
ed with the NickersOn College.
He is a graduate Of the State
University, and has taught high
er mathematics three years IN
that Institution since his resi-
dence here, and also has had
charge of mathematics and the
sciences in n. n. G. for the past
year.
The Nickerson College has Is
} thoroughly trained teachers,
and the school is good and
thorough throughout and will
do well by all who attend. The
expenses are reasonable, and
with all these facts in mind, there
seems to us to be no reason why
Barton and surrounding counties
should not patronizo the Nick
erson College in preference to any
other western institution. At
least do not make arrangements
to enter any other school until
you have thoroughly investi-
gated that institution. Had we
college here, or was there any
chance for one being opened this
year, we would say ''patronize
Z the home institutions" but we
hardly believe that a defunct at
fair can in any manner assign
patronage elsewhere.
Messrs. Smith and Hull, and
Mrs. Smith we have known per-
sonally for many years, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that
they will fulfil every promise
made, and are thoroughly com
petent to accomplish what they
undertake.
