WANT BIG INCREASE.
Bituminous Miners Want Advance
 of 1S to % Per Cent.

oA 10 to ~ Fer Cenb
 Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 29.-The bitu- nitrous miners of the country are prepar- ing to ask for an increase of from IS to 20 per cent in wages at the coming ses- sion of the national convention.
 It is admitted by the leaders in the diff ferent States that an increase of about this figure will be demanded. W. D. Ry- an of Illinois district says his district will ask for this amount of increase and the Indiana and Ohio leaders say they will ask the same.
 Secretary Ryan, of Illinois was chair man of the miners scale committee last year. The miners then made a demand for straight increase of ten per cent on a straight run of mine basis but this was not granted and the old scale was finally adopted. The last increase the miners received was at Columbus three years ago. It was from 15 to 20 percent. The miners have had a statistician at work for months on figures on which they will base demand for an increase

The Jam-Eating British Army.

Harper's Weekly.
 Now that we know that the British army consumed in the South African war S4. 800, ,00l pounds of jam, the fact suggests some nice computations In the statistics of sweetmeats For instance, If the Brit ish army in order to crush a compara- lively small provincial state that began the war without an army needs to be sustained by over 34, 0OO. .0O0 pounds of jam what quantity of jam would be ncces- sary for 1t if 1t had real war with some great military state? Would there be jam enough in the world to meet such A crisis? And what would become cf the finances of the British Empire If in such case soma of the Chicago men should "corner' all the jam in the world just before the war began?

An Eight-story schoolhouse.


 A novel proposition is before the Boar( of Education of New York City. A new school house Is needed in one of the con. geste6 districts of the city; in fact, mor than cne school houss of ordinary size The committee on sites proposed the pun chase of plot comprising about seve, and one-half house lots. the estimate cos of which is over S40O.0Oo. A fve-story school house on this plot would accommo. date fl om 2,5o0 to 5000 pupils But tn, Board of Education already owns the oIt Essex market site. in the same vicinity which abuts on three streets. It is pro posed to erect on this site an eight-storI school house with accommodations fo. 5000 pupils, with ample stairways. retir. ing rooms. etc. Access to the upper sto. ries would be had by elevators of a siz, sufficient to carry an entire class at ons trip. The assembly room would be on the first floor. The cost of such a struc. ture would be. 1t is said. only about S1O0 . 900 more than the other proposed site. The matter is to come up again, when a mora detailed scheme has been worked out and the Board will be called upon to vote on it.

GET REGISTERED.

The registration of voters is pro-
ceeding very slowly. Not 20 per
cent of the voting population of the
county is enrolled at present. The
law requiring re-registration every
year is pernicious and harmful to
counties like Amador. 1t may be
necessary in San Francisco and
other large cities, but here it ac-
complishes no good, and the only
practical outcome is to cause num-
Der of citizens to be disfranchised
through failure to register. A new
register every four or six years is
quite often enough here, However,
we have to face the law as it is; and
therefore again urge upon every re-
publican to get registered at the
earliest moment. Lose no time in
applying to the county clerk or one
of his deputies in the respective
towns. Republicans must remem-
Der that the machinery of registra-
tion is in the hands of democrats.
All the registration officers are of
the democratic faith. Under these
circumst tances, it may be expected
that efforts will be made to get dem
ocrats in the voting line, while in
difference is manifested whether re-
publicans are enrolled or not. Of
course, any citizen entitled to vote
will be enrolled on application, but
as this is the year of general state
and county election, it is not likely
that any special effort will be made
by democratic officials to get repub-
licans registered. Under these con-
ditions, it behooves republicans to
organize at once in every township,
and appoint a committee to see that
every republican finds a place on the
great register. If special fund has
to be created to hire a suitable man
in every town to attend to this i'm
portant business, it will be money
well invested. The republican coun-
ty central committee should be
called together at an early date,
and take action on this vital
question.

Amador ledger., 1902-05-02

The primary election law passed
by the last legislature is not appli-
cable to Amador county. Its pro-
visions can only be made applicable
by a majority of votes cast in favor
of its adoption at a special electio
called for that purpose. Such an
election is not likely to be called in
this or any other county in the state
not directly affected by the law.
Therefore, both parties will be left
free to follow the course heretofore
adopted in selecting delegates to
state and county nventions. Anna
dor county is to be congratulated in
escaping the infliction of the primary
law. 1t is not only an expensive
luxury to the taxpayers in general,
but it is extremely doubtful whether
it will accomplish any reform even
in cities or counties where it is made
mandatory. We do not approve of
the idea of putting a legal straight
jacket upon political parties in the
vain hope of making them conduct
their affairs on the square
