The republican state convention wednes-
day renominated all the present state Of
fcers except governor and treasurer. This
Will be regarded by Mr.. Rosewater as a
victory for himself, he having driven Gov
ernor Savage and Treasurer Stuefer out OF
the race.
Right from the start IL was noticeable
that the ElkhoTn-U nien Pacific combination
back of Robertson and the BURLINGTON forces
behind Dinsmore were in for a sham pro-
tracted struggle. Early in the day Il was
said that Thompson and Rosewater had
combined to make Speaker Sears the nom
inee, but after the third ballot that gentle
man was practically out Of the running.
The night before the convention senti-
ment seemed to point to Dinsmore OF Clay
as the man whom the Burlington was push
ing to the front, although the expression
was frequently heard: well, l don't know
you see, Mickey is neutral ground and It
may go to. him." Neutral ground had
reference simply to the railroads. Mickey
is regarded as a Union Pacific man, located
in what is really Burlington territory. He
Is the man who was mentioned a week or
so ago by a prominent railroad man at the
Lindell hotel as the one I'VE have picked
out"
John II. Mickey is a resident of osceola
Polk county. He is described by the State
Journal as a farmer, banker, old soldier
and pioneer" BY a curious coincidence
he is president Of the same bank that Gov
ernor Nance was president of when he was
nominated for governors; but Mr.. Mickey
was nominated on the thirteenth ballot
and that undoubtedly means that the par
allel will go no further.
Rosey had his way in a great part. He
had previously driven Governor Savage
from the field because Of the BARLEY par

Millions ENacted in Excess of Ren-
onabie Prices.
NcW Ynrk NJ

New York World.
About zoo, 0OO, 900 tons OF coal of both
kinds are being taken every year from the
United States mines. This total output was
valued at the mines last year at $500. OOO.-
0OO-which Is $3.50 a ton. These are round
figures, but quite close enough to give clear
view Of the basic conditions underlying the
strike.
The coal fields Of the country contain
over 1000 billion tons OF coai-euual TO a
5000 years supply at the present rate Of
consumption. In view of the assured dis
covery Of new methods OF heatlng-by oil
gas. electricity, etc.-thls is practically IN
inexhaustible store OF coal.
Yet, with the labor cost Of mining coal
only so cents per ton. and its total value
at the mines mouth only $3.50 per ton.
the American people are paying on an
average about Sc a ton for their coal. TAX
ing hard and soft together, and cannot
tell from day to day when 81 or 81 per ton
will be added to that price, nor whether
they will be able to get it at any price.
No candid student of these figures. and
their plain disclosure of the fact that the
price Of coal to the consumer is ten times
the labor cost and four times the total
cost OF production, can doubt that at least
Woo a ton on an average, or $500. 900. 900
per year, is the fine levied on the people.

Nate monopoly that controls their coal
mines, free from any effective regulation IN

1t is evidently not so much what Rose
water did in the convention that wor-
ries the local popocratic organ but what
he did not do. 1t was hoping the con
vention would renomlnate Savage and
Stuefer and suppress the demand for
the taxation Of corporate franchises and
that Rosewater would create a scene on
the floor. Because the convention put
up new candidates for governor and
treasurer, gave Douglas county the lieu
tenant governorship, and inserted a
strong tax reform plank in the platform,
the pOpocrats are dismally and dread
fully disappointed and, as usual, want
to lay the blame for all their woes on
Rosewater.

SWELLING PENSION ROLL.
How the Roll of Honor Grows with
the Years,
Chicago Record-Herald (rep.).

Chicago Record-Herald (rep.).
1t is reported from the office of the COM
missioner of pensions that the number of
pensioners April 80 was 99s, 1903, and that
there were $50, 259 claims pending, of which
33,611 are due to the war with Spain.
The correspondent of the Record Herald
who sends the figures suggests that some
surprise will be felt at their magnitude.
Surprise is certainly a mild feeling under
the circumstances. 1t is now thirty-seven
years since the close Of the civil war, yet
the number OF pensioners is the largest in
our history. There has been a steady in
crease, with but a slight setback in 1899
1900 since 1878, when the total was 223, 99s.
This increase went on with accelerated
speed toward the close OF the decade 1880
1890 and was given a new impulse by the
disability pension act of the year last
named. During 1891 and 1892 1t was at the
rate Of 10000 a year, and in 1898 the total
stood at 966, 012. By that time the force OF
the new legislation was fully developed,
but additions to the rolls have continued
as indicated by the totals for the years
named in the following table:
