Opinions VS.. Convictions,

The difference between opinions
and convictions is the same as that
between steamship without a fire
under her boilers, and steamship
with full head OF steam on. The
first may float tor a time toward the
haven, but 1t is because the wind or
tide chances TO be in her favor; the
other drives her PROV with conquering
force against wind and wave and tide
toward the home port because there
is mighty energy within.
A man talks about owning his business.
But, as a matter of fact his business owns
him. His whole life is regulated by the de.
mands of the business. The time at which
he rises, his breakfast hour, the time given
TO meals, are all determined by business OBJ
legations. He rushes through lunch because
he "cant spare the time from business" to
eat leisurely. lie won't take a rest because
he is needed at the store or Office. lie is in
fact an absolute slave 10 business. The
results which follow this slavery are to be
seen on every hand. Men dyspeptic, irrita-
BILE, nervous, with drawn faces, and hollow
eyes, sit at the desk or stand behind the
counter until they collapse in fit of sickness,
or are taken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exac,ions of business
will find friend in DR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t strengthens the s,o.
mach, increases the action of the blood
making glands, increasing the vitality and
physical vigor. 1t makes men strong and
prevents those business break downs which
so often terminate fatally.

SUBSIDIARY SILVER BILL
MEASURE TO INCREASE AMOUNT
OF SMALL CHANGE.
Democrats Suspicious That There Is
a Scheme to Undo the
Silver Dollar.

Washington, May 29.-The house
spent the day debating the bill to in
crease the subsidiary silver by coin
ing the silver bullion in the treasury
and to recon the standard silver dol
lars as the public necessities may re-
quire. The limit of subsidiary coin
age is nov 500, 600, 900. The bill in
creases this to an indefinite amount,
in the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury. The bill aroused the
opposition Of the democrats, who
claimed 1t was a step in the com
plete striking down Of the silver dol
lar. Very little interest was shown,
and Mr.. Cochran twice made the point
that no quorum was present. Mr.
Newlands of Nevada finally offered
an amendment to make subsidiary
silver a legal tender, and this amend
ment was pending when the house
adjourned.

strike Of all the soft coal miners Of
the United States would probably be
ordered.
"The anthracite miners" continued
Mr.. Sargent, asked very little and
were willing to make concessions. but
the attitude of the operators from the
start was such that did not hesitate
to suggest the strike to John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America. | do not see at this
time any hope of a COMPROMISE.
"The coal barons believe they are
masters Of the situation, while the
workingmen are equally confident OF
their strength and their chances OF
success.
There are 100000 men idle as a re-
suit Of the strike. There are between
425, 900 and 100000 soft coal miners
in the country, and not n union, in
my judgment would hesitate a moment
to respond favorably to a call for q
general strike. That there will posi-
lively be such a strike l cannot say.
My opinion is based solelv on the

The demand in the local market

There has been a pretty fair demand

stated that Philadelphia houses have

One of these houses took a fair
amount of Ohio Xxx; another about
200, 900 pounds OF Nevadas and Wyo-
mings, mostly the former, at a clean
cost Of close to SOC. Another concern
took about 100000 pounds Of fine Aus

about 1000 pounds of South Afri-

which they can be imported. This Is

life from which the members of the
commission shall be drawn, including
those who might be expected to have
a technical knowledge Of the questions
involved, but carefully excluding
workers in the mines.
Under these conditions is there any
warrant for the men remaining out
longer? The only authoritative an
swer to that inquiry must come from
the miners themselves. But the Amer
lean public doubtless thinks that it has
some qualification to pass on this
question. President Mitchell and his
associates will doubtless act entirely
on their understanding Of their own
distinctive interests in the settlement
of the controversy, just, indeed, as both
parties to the controversies have acted
tlnC ughout. But whether it be the
miners or the operators, those who as
sumo the responsibility of delaying un-
necessarily, even for day, the produce
ton of the peoples fuel supply, will
receive scant public consideration.

government for the next two years.
The Republican candidate for that
Office may be all right in point of per-
sonal uprightness. But he is as limos
cent as child of the duties of the Of
flee. Mr.. Kahn is experienced, and has
proven himself trustworthy and capa-
bic. His opponent would be a mere
experiment in the office. Let Mr.. Krah-
mer be as honest as he may, the eX-
perience of the public already with an
honest man at the head of the Office
shows that they may be robbed as
easily under that kind of administra-
ton as under the administration of
county auditor who might choose to re-
main blind to the malversation of his
subordinates, even though. carried on
under his eyes.
NJ F. Kahn has been tested as coun-
ty auditor. He has stood the test. All
the administrations of the office after
his were more or less tainted with
wrongdoing. No faint attaches to him
or his Is he not, under the circunl-
stances, the only logical and reason
able claimant on the favor Of the vot-
ing, taxpaying community?
The people do not want, dishonest
man in the office. M F.. Kahn has been
proven honest. They do not want an
inexperienced or ignorant man in the
office. M. F. Kahn has served In the
Office two terms. They do not want an
incapable man. M. F. Kahn is conced-
eddy capable. They do not want care
less man. M. F. Kain, as county audi
tor, has proven himself to be pains
taking, careful official, who gave his
personal attention to all the details of
office, and who was present in his office
each official day during office hours and
was personally cognizant Of the work
done by his subordinates.
If M. F.. Kahn is elected to the office OF
county auditor no thieving deputy will
be able to pull the wool over his eyes
or blind him to dishonesty in the ad-
miniStration of the office.

NO FURTHER DELAY.

When President Mitchell, of the Mine
Workers union, declared the readiness
Of those he represented to at once re-
turn to work on the appointment of a
commission Of arbitration by the presf-
dent he succeeded in securing the SYM
pathy and moral support Of this peo-
pie for the men and their movement.
Now the operators have agreed to
the appointment of such commission,
and the country looks to Mr.. Mitchell
and his followers to make good his
undertaking. 1t Is true that the kind
of men to act on the commission have
been designated in the proposal of the
operators. And 1t is also true that the
selections have been made no doubt
with q view to the operators securing
the most favorable decision for their
side of the controversy. More than
that, the present proposal Is offensive
in that it is carefully framed so as to
exclude any direct representative Of
the men from the commission. In other
words, arbitration is agreed to by one
of the parties to the controversy. which
party selects the appointee Of the
commission and indicates the walks Of

M. F. KAIN's SUPERIOR CLAIMS.

1t is generally acknowledged that the
most important Office in our entire sys-
tenn of county government is the one
of county auditor. 1t bears the same
relationship toward the administration
of county affairs that the office Of city
comptroller does toward the admins
tration Of city affairs. It is as gener-
ally agreed that no man who is not
skilled and honest ought to be intrusted
with the charge of the office.
Republican administration of the Of
fee of county auditor has always been
either dishonest negligent or incapa-
BILE. If the present incumbent of the
Office is to be absolved from moral re-
sponsibility for the crimes committed
against the taxpaying public during
his administration of the Office, no one
will deny his official responsibility His
predecessor in the office, Dennis Sulli-
van, was, concededly, an honest man.
But it has been shown that throughout
his administration the tax title and tax
certificate thieves operated success
fully and with practical impunity.
There is no charge or suspicion, or
shadow of suspicion resting against
the administration of the Office Of
county auditor by M. T. Kahn. Mr..
Kahn is the Democratic candidate for
that office in this campaign. He ought
to receive, and T h e Globe believes he
will receive. the vote of every taxpayer
who is willing to put behind him the
consideration Of party politics in Sc
