been an apparent concession on the
part OF those who are informed on
mining matters that there will be
changes in the present scale of g
The miners are expecting a raise in
the scale and some of the operators
have already expressed themselves as
ready to meet a reasonable request in
this direction. With matters in this
shape the main point upon which an
agreement must be reached is that of
the amount of the advance. 1t would
seem that if the miners and operators
OF district No. 13 will keep in mind
the outcome of the Indianapolis con-
vention, even after it seemed that a
disruption was certain, and that the
peaceful settlement was brought about
by the granting of concessions by both
parties to the conference, there should
be no great difficulty in reaching an
agreement that will give justice to
all concerned.

THE MINERS, CONVENTION.

IFfom Wednesdays Daily.l
1t is probable that lever before
have the Iowa miners met in their
annual convention under as suspicious
conditions as this year. The opening
session held yesterday in Des Moines
is reported to have been a record
breaker in point of attendance and the
addresses made by the different mem
bers of the miners organization and
others who are in touch with the la.
Dor movement are indicative that the
most cordial relations exist between
the miners and their employers. The
happy endings of the various conven-
lions that have been held in other dis
tricts this year seem to point to an
agreeable and satisfactory settlement
of the questions that will come before
the miners convention and the various
succeeding meetings of the miners
and operators, in arranging the arti.
Giles by which the two parties to the
coal mining interests OF this state
shall be governed for the coming
year.

WORK OF THE FIFTY.sEvENTH
CONGRESS,

[From Wednesdays DaiIy.l
Today marked the passing of n
of the most notable congresses that
ever convened in the history of the ma
ton. There has been a great deal of
valuable and useful legislation accom-
plished, and generally speaking the
people of the country will be quite well
satisfied with the results. 1t is to be
expected that the mugwump and demo-
cratic press will not only find fault
with what has been done, but will at
tempt to point out additional pieces of
legislation that (they will say should
have been passed. The principal laws
enacted by congress are:
Creating the department Of COM
merce and labor.
Ordering the construction of the
isthmian canal by the United States.
Abolisning the war taxes levied in
1898.
Extending the Chinese exclusion act.
Enactment of the Elkins rebate bill.
A national irrigation law making
possible the reclamation of the arid
lands of the west.
The organization of a general staff
for the army and passage of the Dick
bill for the reorganization. of the ma
tional guard.
A bill providing for an increase in
the navy.
The removal of the duty on coal.
These are some of the most impor.
tant measures that have been passed
by congress. They are all matters of
national Importance and calculated to
have a marked influence in moulding
the affairs of the United States. The
interests of the people have been well
conserved and promoted by this legis.
lation, and the f~ifty-seventh congress
should receive the appreciation of the
entire people.

-
Representative DeArmond of Mis-
souri, is playing to a very small section
OF the galleries in his resolution provid-
ing for the annexation of Canada to
the United States. There is not the
slightest occasion for such a resolu-
ton. The Canadians have expressed
no desire for annexation and such a
resolution in congress does nothing
but produce i'll feeling. What would
we think of it if a resolution of sim
liar character should be introduced in
to the British parliament, looking to
the annexation of such states as our
own as are on the northern border, to
the British empire. The proposition
would be a ridiculous one but every
American would resent it as an insult
although the resolution was introduced
by the most obscure member of parlia-
ment.
