The energy in the quantity of coal
mined In 1900 is estimated by a writer
In Casters Magazine as equivalent to
the work of 5000, O00, 900 men during
the year. This triples the natural en-
ergy of the race-in fact, more than
triples it. for it is as if the work of
two able bodied men were added to
the sum of human energy for every
man woman and child. And these ad-
ditional workers-the coal units

The Alfred Millenary suggests to

says Alfred was one of the first rul

business of government. When for.
eign force threatened his country with
destruction, when lawlessness threat.
ened to sweep away civilization. he
appealed to the people, and they heard
and followed him gladly. He was one
of the first rulers to reduce to every.
day practice that conception Of liberty

nation has SO c~onspicuously and sue
cessfuily applied to human affairs. He
saw that human rights were greater

The doing away with the cutting u
the hair Of convicts is a gratifying
proof that those in charge of New

TO the average citizen such a change
may seem of the slightest significance.
or, IL anything, only the disuse Of q
time-honored measure of discipline. 1t
is, however, as striking an action as
the abolition Of the lock,step last
spring, and both arise from the desire
20 make each prison a reformatory,
and not an institution for brandine
men who have made m~issteps. The
hair-cutting process was a relic Of
seventeenth or eighteenth century
prison methods. when actual branding
q prisoners was also the vogue. Its
abolition will make 1t easier for con.
victs to obtain employment On dis.
charge, rs well as help them to retain.

came down the lett aisle, while the
groom and his best man, DR.. H. r.
Clark of Milan, came down the
right aisle. The bride and groom
met under large floral horseshoe
and were made one according to
the ritual of the Baptist Church,
when they left the church to the
concluding strains of the march in
a reverse order in which they en-
tered.

affairs in the Treasury, realized
that the Mckinley tariff was too
high to produce revenue and that
the credit of the country was main
tanned only by the reduction OF
the schedules accomplished by
means of the Wilson bill. 1t be-
came necessary, however, for the
success of the Republican party
to again increase the schedules in
accordance with the demands OF
the protected interests, and,
therefore, the Dlngley bill was
passed. At the present time his
tory is showing a tendency to re-
peat itself. The country is enjoy
ing an unusual prosperity owing
to the abundant agricultural crops,
but those who are in close touch
with treasury affairs realize that
any check in the present prospect
ty, as result of entirely natural
and unavoidable causes, would
again result in diminished customs
receipts and the necessity for the
issue of bonds would again arise.
In fact at the present time the
Government is showing slight
daily deficit These are the facts
which have given certain impetus
to the demand for a reduction of
the tariff schedules although the
public will be lead to believe that
the demand comes entirely from a
desire to curtail the power of the
trusts. AS indicative of the Re
publican custom of slipping out of
tight places, the remark made the
other day by a Republican editor
is interesting: ct we see signs
of break in the present prosper
Gus conditions before 1904" he
said, eve will let the Democrats
win in that year, and then the
brunt of the hard times will be
charged to them. In 1908 we will
elect MIR. Roosevelt, or whomever
else we please, and the Democrats
will never again be heard of. 1t
would be Il big sacrifice, but the
Republican organization is per-
feet enough to make it,
