 Tampico Owl: The machinists in the shops of the Mexican Interna- tional at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz have been notified that from December lst they will be paid standard Am erican wages on a gold basis. The machinists will get S3 30 and the boiler-makers $3.50 per day in Am erican money or in Mexican silver at the average rate of exchange for the month in which they work. This is an entirely new departure in Mexican railroading, and was caused by the fact that Americans could not be held at the old rates. The advance applies only to Amer jeans.

NO GRAFTERs, THESE.

Daniel Kelly,
John S. Schneider,
Thomas Davis,
Maurice P. Moriarty,
August HolZherd,
These are the names of the gentle
men who are candidates for election as
members of the board of county COM
missioners on the Democratic ticket in
this election. There is not one of them
who is not a business man of good
whose character for business or per-
sonal probity one word can be said,
or has ever been said. More than that,
they can all be depended on to fight any
and every job that may be attempted
through the board of county commits
sioners while they are members.
1t is not generally understood that
the thefts of the county funds and their
misuse for private gain, through the
negligence, if not connivance, of Re-
publican officials, were rendered pos
sible only through the failure of the
board of county commissioners to pro-
tect the public. Had the necessary
knowledge been possessed, or the nee
essary inquiries been made, by the
members Of that body before signing
the papers through which such thefts
were accomplished and the funds of
the county juggled with to buy tax
certificates for favored individuals, as
Stunning that the thieves and jugglers
had no accomplices on the board, the
robberies and scandals with which the
people are familiar could never have
been brought into being.
But the character Of the board ma
jority Of the last two boards Of county
commissioners is well known to every
voter who has kept himself properly
informed on the progress Of our local
affairs. During the existence of both
bodies the board has been literally
hotbed for the growth and production
of gratis of all kinds. The people two
years ago deliberately gave their in
dorsement to the conduct of majority
on that board which was scandalous
enough in many particulars to put any
sane community on inquiry. The re-
suit made the shameful extravaganza,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 23.-After

FRIDAY, OCT. "a, 1902.
THE SHAW FROST.

Again the Republicans Of Minnesota
building at Minneapolis with big
meeting by the advertisement of a big
sun from the East, and again the
meeting has proved a frost.
Secretary Shaw was no greater sue
cess than Senator Fairbanks. Neither
of these orators of national fame had
within 1000 to 1000 of the Democratic
meeting in the same auditorium which
was thronged with enthusiastic listen
tiers to the oratory of the local speak
ers, John Lind and James C. Haynes.
It is safe to say that Secretary
Shaw's speech made not one vote, and
that, on the other hand, it has helped
over the dividing line into the Demo-
cratic camp a large number of consei-
entious and thinking Republican voters
who believe in reciprocity, tariff re-
vision and the removal of tariff protec-
ton from trusts.
The people who attended this meet
ing have gone away with these convic-
tons burned into their memories:
Secretary Shaw in over an hours adj
dress never mentioned the word ''reci-
procity."
He had no word of consolation to
the tens of thousands of Minnesota Re-
publicans who demand tariff revision
He attacked the popular conviction
in the breasts of the people regardless
of party, that it is time for the re-
moval of tariff protection from trusts.
AS regards the other subjects covered
by Secretary Shaw, they are of no con-
sequence, because they are not issues
in this campaign. What do the people
of the United States in this tariff and
trust campaign of 1902 care about the
coinage question of six years ago? Mr..
Shaw should have had more respect
for his listeners than to try to "bunco'
them by trying to drag in old ques-
lions of ancient days to becloud the
live questions which affect every cup
board and household.
The man who would dodge the live
questions of reciprocity, tariff revision
and trust protection, and attempt to
create prejudice by dragging in 1896
partisanship, is not a man who is enti-
tied to the consideration and re-
spect of an earnest and thinking peo-
pie Mr.. Shaw undertakes the intelli-
gence of the people of Minnesota and
stoops to the position of demagogue in
pursuing such tactics. Although he is
secretary of the treasury of the United
States, he deserves nothing better than
the frost he received for such an eff

MUNICIPAL BONDS

Those Of Any City or State Will Be
Taken Into Consideration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-The
treasury committee on state and mu-

department as security for public de-
posits decided today that 1t would con-
slider, in addition to the securities au-
thorized by state law for the invest
ments of the savings banks Of New
York, the bonds of any city in any
state of the Union to which the debt,
exclusive of. water debt and sinking
fund, is less than seven per cent of the
valuation Of the city, for purposes of
taxation.
Applications, it was decided, must be
accompanied by a statement Of the lat
est available data concerning debt and
valuation. The information furnished
also should show whether any contest
had ever arisen concerning the legality
of the bonds offered. In such a, case a
decision of any court concerning their
legality must be presented.

it's two occupants. The inventor
claims that it satisfied all requirements
and explanations and demonstrated
it's serviceability for saving lives at

FILIPINO ENUMERATES THE
NEEDS OF HIS COUNTRY
Stable Currency, Railroads and More
Reliable Labor Wanted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. %
Ramon Reyes Lala, a native Filipino,
graduate of Oxford, and naturalized
American, has arrived here on his way
from Manila to Washington to tell
something of the present urgent needs
of the Philippines.
Legislation is much needed for the
Philippines said Lala. I'VE poor Fill
ipinos need a stable currency. We can
not do business with the states with
out having a fixed standard of money.
Silver is $2.37 for every dollar in gold.
To secure $500 in gold when I was
leaving for the States, I had to pay
something like $3.50 in silver. The
worst of it is that there is no estab-
lished ratio. The commission can make
it anything it sees fit. The islands
need railroads. They need more re-
liable labor for my country"

RESUMPTION OF MINING.
Output of Coal the First Day Only
Half the Normal.

WILKESBARRE, Pa Oct 23-The
resumption of mining throughout the
anthracite region was not as general
today as was expected. Unlocked for
difficulties were encountered in the
shape of water and accumulated gas,
and dangerous roofs which threatened
10 TALL and entOmb the workers were
also discovered in many of the collier
les. The mine superintendent would
take no chances and the mining Of
coal was put off until all parts Of the
underground workings can be made
safe. This will take a few days yet,
and In some, cases weeks before some
OF the mines can be put in full opera
ton. In quite a few of the collieries
the machinery and everything else
connected with the hosting of coal
acted badly and it was found neces-
sary to close down after steam had
been raised and the miners were ready
to go to work.
From reports received from the en-
tire anthracite region the number of
n'ines in operation is little less than
tWo-th1rds of the total number, but
the output of coal was less than half
the normal. The Delaware, Aacka-
wanna & Western company took the
lead in the production. It's collieries
are in better shape than the mines
operated by the other large companies
An increase of at least 20 per cent in
the output may be looked for tomor-
row. About one-half of the mines of
the Delaware e Hudson company were
working and the output of those in
operation was light.
The mines of the Susquehanna Coal
company, at Nanticoke, were in opera
ton, but only the upper levels could be
worked, as the lower levels contained
considerable water. In three days,
however, it is expected that the output
of coal will reach the full quota The
Lehigh Valley Coal company operated
about one-half of its mines with full
force Of men. The Lehigh & Wilkes
barre Coal company mined coal in sew
eral Of its big mines, but all of it's COL
Heries will not be in condition to re-
sumo before Monday. The Kingston
Coal company started up two of it's
collieries. The other two will start on
Monday. The Parrish company will
not resume until Monday.
1t looks as though the union engineers
were going to have some difficulty
getting back their old places. At near
ly every mine where the striking en-
gineers made application for work to-
day they were told that there was no
vacancy. A large number of carpenters
are also out in the cold. A delegation
of carpenters waited on President
Mitchell To-Day ana told MIN OF their
grievances. The chief of the miners
union advised his callers to wait few
days and see if employment would not
be offered them. The only friction re-
ported between union and non-union
men was at several collieries in the
Wyoming region, where the miners
objected to be lowered in the mines by
non-union engineers.
Great preparations are under way
in
this city on Oct. 20. National Board
Member John Fallon has charge of the
arrangements. He will be chief mar
shall of the parade, which promises to
be the largest demonstration of miners
ever held in the coal region.
