indianapolis. Ind, July 19,-When
the miners convention met this morn
ing it was evident that all liability
of the great strike had vanished. The
anthracite men who have favored q
strife were practically unanimous in
declaring that ii would have been ua-
wise to order q general strike The
chances are that the convention Will
finish its work today, and it viii be
ended by the adoption of the recon-
mendaticn of President Mitchell, with
the exception of amendments in the
manner in bringing the assessments
upon the members of the union.
At the opening of the convention
this Eorninz Mother" Jones was Civ
en- the floor She made an address
which was enthusiastically applauded
by the delegates. She declared that
before coming to indianapolis She had
favored a general strike but since
coming to the convention she had
reached tine opinion that the concll'
sion reached by the delegates to avoid
such movement was the wisest
course.
She urged the delegates toeoppose at
the congressional elections this fall

government by injunction
President Mitchell called for the re.
port of the special committee. The
committee was not ready to report,
and as a number of addresses were
made by delegates, a motion made by
delegate Ryan, of Illinois, that the
convention mdorse the meeting Of
employers and employees to be held In
Minneapolis Sept % for the purpose
Of discussing the practicability of an
universal S-hour working day.
At 10:45 the convention took a re-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachin Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound Oh
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed, deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, whish is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh,

Perry and Antrim Farmers Club.

The September meeting Of the Per-

held at the pleasant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. G.. Morrice, Friday, Sept. 5.
1t was fine day and there was large
number Of members present and also
several visitors. The meeting was
opened with song by the club and
devotional exercises.
The first subject under discussion
was "Rural bird life and their protec-
tion," by O. E. Curry. Mr.. Curry said
he thought the farmers did not real
lie the benefit Of our birds In keeping
down insects that were injurious to
the farmers crops. He thought the
crow, hawk, and the sparrow did more
damage In destroying our small birds
than they were benefit to the farm
er. Mr.. Morrice said II we would let
the brush grow along our highways
the birds would have more protection.
He also thought the hawk and crow
were q benefit to the farmer as they
destroyed grubs and snakes, etc. Mr..
Curry replied by saying he did not
see what difference it was to the farm
er whether the crow destroyed the
grubs or destroyed more corn than the
grubs did. He thought more small

Ferry for Senator.
e Lansing Republican,

From the Lansing Republican.
Saturday the double announcement
was made that w. c. Mcmillan will not
be candidate for the senatorship made
vacant by the death of his father, and
also that the Hon. Dexter M. Ferry is a
candidate Mr.. Mcmillan believes that
the best interests of the party will be
advanced by his retirement. In this he
is right. He is young man, whose
service to the party has not been extern
sive. Further, the seeming entailment
of the office of senator would be extreme
ly distasteful
The withdrawal of Mr.. Mcmillan
leaves but two avowed candidates in
the field, Gen. Alger and d. NJ Ferry
AS between the two the State Republi-
can favors Mr.. Ferry. Gen. Alger has
been highly honored by the republicans
of Michigan They have believed in
him in the past and believe in him now,
but there are other matters to be con-
sidered. Gen. Ayers health is not of
the best, and it might be doubtful
whether he could stand the strain of
official life. Then, too, friction which
developed during his service as secretary
of war might initiate against his eff
cheney. He would doubtless be some
what hampered in his senatorial duties,
to say the least. Michigan has repeat.
edly expressed her confidence in the
general, but this does not by any means
remove whatever feeling may still exist
against him, nor will electing him SEN
ator remove it. 1t is unfortunate, but it
is a condition which should be recog-
nized.
Mr. Ferry would go to Washington
without such handicap. 1t will more
than counterbalance Gen. Ayers wider
experience in public life. Mr.. Ferry is
successful business man, and it has been
proved repeatedly that capable business
men can make capable senators. OF
course, it will be said by democratic
newspapers that Mr. Ferry is the can
didate of the Mcmillan machine, but
that insinuation is too trivial to be
noticed. All things considered, Mr..
Ferry seems to be the most desirable
candidate of the two who have an
nounced themselves.

Surprising that it should become
necessary, in the course of events, to
make change in the policy of govern
ing the Philippines, is it at all likely
that the thinking people of the country
would care to dispose of the matter by
permitting democratic congress to
adjust the AFFAIR." The easiest way to
secure an answer to that question would
be to look at the wrecks of the past
along democratic highways, when other
great reforms were attempted.

Hon. VIM. Donovan has returned from
business trip of several weeks through
the state, especially in the northern and
western parts, and universally he has
found that reports of disaffection against
Gov Bliss and the republican ticket
were absolutely groundless. For three
weeks was in the upper peninsula, .
said Mr.. Donovan, ''and talked with
many business men. l found the OBJ
servation of Senator Chas. Smith, of
Lake Linden, to be very representative
of what / learned elsewhere. He said
there could be no doubt that the upper
peninsula will give the nominee of the
republican ticket without exception, the
old-time majority. All through the
upper peninsula did not hear repub-
lican say word against the governor,
nor anything that was not favorable to
the success of the entire ticket"
Judge A. V. McAlvay, of Manistee,
was one of the strongest of Stearns' adj
herents in the campaign for the nom
ination. He is an oldtime friend of
Mr.. Donovan, who stopped at the judges
house.
''You can say to the governor, Judge
McAlvay told Mr. Donovan, that the
people of this locality, whom l repre-
ssnted in the convention, finished their
fight in the convention and from now
on will do everything that is possible
for theIgovernor' election and the sue
cess of the entire ticket"
"The more travel in different parts
Of the state" continued Mr.. Donovan,
1.-THE more rapidly l came to the con-
clusion that reported instances of disaf-
lection against the governor have been
made out of whole cloth. 1t was very
noticeable that delegates in the state
convention who were for Stearns, ex-
pressed no sentiment except that which
was in favor of the success of the entire
ticket. Lansing Republican.

Democrats for Free Trade

The democratic campaign book is
probably the most honest democratic
statement of tariff views that has ever
been issued by responsible authority in
recent years. In this book the demo-
cratic congressional committee de-
nounces protection as a fraud and reci-
procity as humbug. The democrats
want neither Of these tariff principles.
| Neither do they demand tariff reform as
in 1892 nor tariff for revenue only as in
1876 They demand free trade. That
is their remedy for the trusts and the
only economic policy they advocate
The democratic committee has taken an
honest step at last Henry Watterson
long preached free trade but the demo-
cratic party never got farther in their
platform than tariff reform and tariff
for revenue only. And when they came
to the work of preparing tariff bill in
1893 they took sugar off the free list and
placed duty on it to protect the cane
sugar of the south.
But the democratic congressional COM
mittee holds protection responsible for
the trusts and says Free trade would
open our markets to benefit our own
country. 1t is hospitable and seeks
peace and good will with all nations.
Reciprocity cares nothing for the con-
sumner and hunts foreign markets with a
club" The committee therefore de-
nounces reciprocity as worse than pro-
lection.
If the democratic text book is to
guide the democratic orators and con-
troll the democratic members of congress,
this is to be a campaign with no middle
ground or compromise, it is to be for
free trade. This bold position of the
democratic committee will show repub-
licans that the contest is between pro-
lection and free trade, and not for tariff
revision or reciprocity, except so far as
that contest is wholly within the re.
publican party The democrats will
aid in neither except to secure free trade.
The issue has never been more clearly
made by the democrats. The congress
sional committee has made an open con-
fession that it represents free trade

Congressman Hepburn, who is taking
an active part in affairs in Iowa, has a
campaign argument which is unanswer-
able, and which substantially makes
good the republican claim that Pros
perity" reigns. In the county in which
Congressman Hepburn resides, one of
the local banks made a statement re-
Gently to the effect that the institution
held individual deposits of county
residents alone of SO, $1,000. A bit of
calculation showed that this was equal
to a deposit of $40 for every man,
woman and child in the county. That
certainly looks like prosperity with a
big "P."

He is young man, and if he has the
political ability of his distinguished
father he will have plenty of oppor-
tunities to demonstrate his worthiness
to fill the Office his father filled with
such credit to himself and to the state.
In retiring in favor of Mr.. Ferry Mr.
Mcmillan has again been happy in his
political conduct. Mr. Ferry is a
gentleman who is held in high respect
by all citizens of Michigan. He has
been chairman of the republican state
central committee and was candidate
for the nomination for governor in 1900.
He is one of the most successful bust
ness men of the state and his integrity
is unimpeachable. He is not practical
politician, but if he were elected to the
senate, nobody doubts that he would
maintain the high standard of public
service established by James Mcmillan.
The senatorial contest is now mar
rowed down on the republican side to
Mr. Ferry and Gen. Alger. Gen. Alger
has the wider acquaintance and is the
better known. Mr.. Ferry, however, is
not lacking in friends and will be able
to command the support of a majority
of the political friends of the late
Senator Mcmillan. II is a contest of
equals, and as for the result we shall
see what we shall see
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-09-12
a Contest Of Equals.

From the Detroit Free Press.
In withdrawing from the contest for
the office of United States senator in
favor of the Hon. Dexter NJ. Ferry,
Mr.. William G. Mcmillan has done a
good service to the republican party in
Michigan. Had Mr.. Mcmillan deter
mined to remain IN the contest, he
could probably have been elected. He
controls the party machinery; he con-
trolls the governor and he controls the
legislature. Perhaps he could have con-
trolled the incoming legislature, too,
but the Office of senator was within his
grasp regardless Of the results of the
fall election.
To have succeeded to the high office
of his father, however, would have
necessitated outraging the sentiment of
great number of the republican voters
of the state. They object to the prin-
ciple of primogeniture in public affairs
They have little federation for the
theory that young man who has con-
tributed nothing towards the success OF
the party in the past should succeed to
its highest Office merely because his
father had rendered invaluable services.
They have no personal objections to Mr..
Mcmillan, but believe rightly that he
should make reputation for himself in
politics before he seeks high honors at
the hands of the party.
Mr.. Mcmillan has come to see the
matter from their point of view, and
has wisely decided to await his turn.
