a SENATOR'S EARLY WORK.

Senator Beverage of Indiana, altho
attained considerable prominence in
the upper house because of his ability
and determination to master certain
problems of government thru close
study; and he gained some notice also
in the closing days of the session as a
result of Senator Bailey's assault upon
him A gossipy Washington corre-
spondent tells the following in regard
to his early career:
Senator Beveridge was book agent
during his college days and he never
tires of telling how he made it possible
for his parents to wear gold-rimmed
spectacles and the younger children to
go to school because of his success in
forcing the people of Indiana to buy
his book.
1T was religious work" said the
senator a few days ago to a number of
his colleagues in the restaurant, land

its abject was to show that all religions
except the Christian religion have

cessful in placing Errors Chain on

first season as book agent that the
publishers desired to avail themselves
of my services during the next vaca
ton. was made a state agent and
selected Iowa as the best field of opera

students at Greeneastle as canvassers

The hard coal strike in Pennsylvania

The hard coal strike in Pennsylvania
shows signs of breaking down. Altho
the managers of it are hoping to have
it strengthened by calling out workmen
elsewhere, the disclosure of home
weakness is keeping the leaders on the
having come to the knowledge of mine
owners and operators that men We're
willing to return to work, the opportu
nifty has been offered them. but these
men who were wiling to break away
have been prevented from resuming
work by others who resorted to force
full methods to keep them out. In or
der to prevent it committees blocked
the approaches to every coliery and
were threatened with violence if they
did not turn back, and a few who re-
fused were handled roughly. In one in
stance stones were thrown at one fore
man who was taking man to the
mines. 1t is stated that large numbers
would return to work If allowed TO do
So All sorts Of intimidation are re-
sorted to in this warfare between mine
owners and men. 1t has developed in
to the customary state of strife where
personal violence is frequent, altho
there has been less Of it thus far in

If the strike breaks down thru it's
own weakness it will leave hard feel
ings and sullen dispositions and create
another breach between capital and la
Dor. 1t is to be regretted that some sort
of compromise can not be effected
that would obviate this. The baneful
effect of these strikes, outside OF the
obvious loss to men, Is that of creating
dissatisfaction with the existing order
of government and politics from a
biased point of view. Hence If conces-
sions were made on each side this
would not become a cons picuous fea-

When Mr.. Beveridge got this far in
his story Senator Allison Interrupted

GOVERNMENT REVENUES.

| Despite the fact that the repeal of a
portion of the war revenue taxation
cuts off over S73,o00,oo0 of government
revenue, a prominent revenue collector
states that the internal revenue from
taxes under the new or revised sched-
ule will raise from $1T5.000,000 to $780,
100000 year. 1t may be surprising to
some that, with the war tax. the reve-
than that of customs. 1t is fact,
however, that customs receipts have
been increasing lately. The receipts at
New York from customs for the fiscal
year just ended We're over s12,OO0,OO0
more than for the previous year.
The late cutting off of taxes is said to
be the most gigantic ever made. 1t
speaks volumes for the prosperity of
this country and for the present adj
be made without having the slightest
effect upon the country's financial con-
dition.
With increasing revenues and with a
surplus for the year of S92, 100000, and
a continuance of prosperity, there is
safe ground for the belief that gov
eminent receipts will be ample for all
Ordinary needs. The national treasury
is overlooking with funds. The avail
able cash balance now stands at $685.,
6O3,022, a sum larger than ever before
in the history of the government.
Another item of especial interest in
this connection is the fact that the
United States government now has a
stock of gold in the treasury believed to
be larger than any similar stock any
where in the world. The amount of
gold COIN bullion and certificates in the
treasury is Os,173.412. Added to this
is gold in circulation turnout the coun-
try which raises the total amount to
not less than $1,000, 100000.

Hong but interesting one.

STRIKING MINERS DEMANDS.

The Scranton striking miners set a
new pace in labor contentious yester-
day when they demanded of their
priest that he order from the church a
member whom they described as "un-

properly refused to accede TO the re-
quest, and large number of union
miners left the church. Perhaps the
time will come when only union min
