TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
There is still NO indication Of de-
preston in trade and industry that
pessimists predicted would follow the
decline in securities. Conservatism
was developed by the uncertainty re-
garding the effect upon financial con-
diitons, but legitimate business is able
to secure funds as they are required,
and the more cautious progress Of
business gives promise of greater per-
manent gain. Weak spots have been
disclosed and the technical position
strengthened, Just as occurred in the
stock market. Readjustment after a
period of Inflammation must of necesr
sity bring some losses, yet the outlook
is frightened by the removal of threat
ened industrial clouds. Dispatches
from all sections testify to the liberal
distribution Of merchandise and the
disposition to prepare for greater con-
sumption of all the necessaries of life,
while the crops are making good prog
ress aside from cotton destruction in
Texas. The number of buyers in New
York is increasing and a heavy fall
trade is anticipated.
Failures this week numbered 176 in
the United States and SO In Canada.

NORTHWEST MINES.

A oUU ION QulChSllNSi PioAt 10 6olA6
up on the Black Butte mines, near Cot
tage Grove, Ore.
An immense deposit of what is claim
ed by experts to be fine grade of
statutary marble has been discovered
in the Deer Creek country. few miles
from Big Timber, Mont.
The Little Chief mine near Mullan,
Idaho, which adjoins the Gold Hunter
for 5000 feet, is placing about $50 feet
of air pipe in the lower tunnel. The
air lately became SO foul in the lower
workings that the Improvement was
found necessary.
The four furnaces of the CRANKY
smelter at Grand Forks have blown
out and will remain cold for at least
two weeks, while the connections on
furnaces Nos. s and 6 are being made,
and all details completed for the con-
tinuous operation of the six furnaces
Ed Ford, superintendent of the Gold
Coin Mining company, operating in the
Black Lake district, in Weiser, Idaho,
recently with $4,000 cleanup from
10 days run with the cyanide plant.
This is the third cleanup made within
the past two months, aggregating $14,-
900. The Gold Coin is owned by La
Crosse, Wis, capitalists.
f. Augustus HeinZe won in his first
spar with the Amalgamated Copper
company over the question of renew
ing the injunction in the famous Min
ME Healy copper mine in force before
the supreme court remanded the noted
case for retrial Judge E. w. Harvey
refused to enjoin Heinze from work
ing the rich Minnie Healy mine pend
ing a second trial. Harvey disposed
of the whole matter summarily, de-
clining to transfer the noted case to
another court for trial or to grant a
continuance of the case. He set the
trial of the Minnie Healy case for Sep.
TENDER 16. Heinze declared that the
order for retrial dissolved all previ-
GUS injunctions and the status Of the
Minnie Healy was the same as before
the proceedings of the first trial were
instituted. He accordingly made hur-
ried preparations, and before several
days had lapsed he had full crews at
work hurriedly extracting tons of rich
copper glance from the extensive de-
posits for which the Minnie Healy is
noted. The Boston & Montana attor-
neys began at once proceedings to
have Heinze enjoined from working
the Minnie Healy deposits pending
final adjudication of the ownership of
the mine. AS the matter now stands,
the Amalgamated people are practi-
cally helpless in the hands of Heinze
so far as the Minnie Healy situation is
concerned. The deposits Of Minnie
Healy are rated as among the richest
in the Butte camp, one vein Of copper
glance averaging as high as 60 per
cent copper, traversing the property.
The mine has a value set upon it as
$1O,OOO0O0.
The Amalgamated Copper company
has closed the Boss Tweed and Clip
per group of gold claims near Pony.
Mont, apparently abandoning the eff
fort to make the vast mountain OF low
grade gold ore yield profitable returns.
Over a year ago the Amalgamated peo-
pie paid 100000 for. the group of
claims and erected a large mill for
the purpose of treating the ore.

Error In Transmission.

Constantinople, Aug. 2S.-It trans
pires that the report that Vice Consul
Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An
unknown Individual AIRED at him, and
the bullet passed close to the vice
consul, but did not touch him.
The vail Of Beirut visited Vice Con-
sui Magelssen, expressing his regrets
for the outrage. and ordered measures
for the arrest of the person who fired
the shot. The error in stating that
Vice Consul Magelssen had been killed
arose from a mistake in a cipher tele-
gram.

BALLOT REFORM AND REPUBLICAN
SUPREMACY.

An effort is being made on the
part of the supporters Of the Ma
chine to create the impression that
the passage OF the Ballot Reform
Bill, proposed by the Joint COM
mittee, would result in an overthrow
of the Republican party. All other
considerations aside from this would
seem to indicate that Republican
majorities depend not upon the will
of thepeople. but upon the opera
ton of law.
The Joint Committee is an en-
tirely non.partisan body, composed
of Republicans and Democrats alike
although, possibly, the former pre-
dominate.
The Ballot Reform Bill is model
ed on the one which has been in
force III Massachusetts, for number
of years. 1t has not interf.red with
Republican supremacy in that State
nor will it interfere with Republi-
can supremacy in this State. 1t
simply provides perfectly fair,
equitable and constitutional means
for the expression of public opinion
concerning candidates and politics;
it places every party and every can
didate upon an absolute parity. The
present system in Pennsylvania
gives to regular party nominations
a monopoly Of straight voting and
discriminates against independent
parties aud independent candidates.
The proposed Bill recognizes par
| ties, but it does not discriminate in
favor of or against any one. 1t re-
cognizes the fundamental right o.
every citizen to record his choice
and express his wish, and this is {
truly American proposition. Tha
is to say, in this country the theory
is that before the law each man is a.
good as everv other man, and eacl
mans vote is as good and importan
as any other mans S vote.
If practical politicians will onl.
> be frank and admit it, the majorit.
of the people want to cut thei
tickets, not, perhaps, in state an'
national contests, but in local con
tests, and even If this were not so
each man is entitled to have pre-
cisely the same rights under tin
law, whether he is candidate or
r voter, and this is what the presen
law does not guarantee. Because
in the first place, the candidate i
the Republican or Democratic col
.. umn is in a more eligible and NOR
' favorable position than the cand
! date in some other column, and tn
= voter who wishes to cut his ticket
! placed at a disadvantage as con
pared with the man who desires
Il vote straight ticket. BY the prac
tce of obtaining votes for straigl
l. ticket under the present law briber
NJ and intimidation are promoted an
made easy, because no man can vol
e for candidates in different column
If without his action being know
S The new act would enable eac
voter to feel that no one but himse
could know how he had voted.

The Legislature TO Enact Laws
Along Entirely New Lines.

The Norristown HerdM published
in a county where private enterprise
and spirit has had much to do with
the Inauguration Of very perfect
system OF road making, says In con
neclion with the proposed highway
bill: 1t is now proposed that the
legislature of the state shall erdeavor
at is present session TO enact some
law that will really promote the work
of highway improvement. There
need be 70 repetition OF the old legs
laton. This was never, apparently,
intended to accomplish anything.
What is wanted is a law similar to
those recently enacted in neighborlng
states, which shall offer pecunlary
inducement to every township in the
state to make beginning in scientific
road making. The plan has worked
we'll elsewhere; why should 1t not
prove a benefit to Pennsylvania, in
which state there has been so much
neglect of this important subjec,'
What is most needed is that a begin
ming be made in every section OF the
state. When this is done, there is
every reason to believe that the local
authorities will make some effort to
continue improvements which are Sc
we'll calculated to enhance the values
of the farm and to promote the con.
venience of the travelling public.
The legislature has 1t in its power
to adopt some practical measure o.
this kind which will greatly facilitate
progress in road making. 1t should
address itself to the task Immediately
and not turn aside from it until some
thing shall be accomplished which
will be credit to itself, and beneh
to the people Of the state, especial,
to those engaged i'll the occupation o
farming. The cities and borough
are very fully awakened to the impor
tance of the permanent improvement
of streets, and much Is being done IL
this way. There is no reason why tn
people of the rural sections OF tn
state should not also be encourage
to go forward in the same direction
and the legislature should do all In 1t
power to help along the work OF roa
improvement.

New Ballot Bill Ready.
Party Circle is Displaced.
But a Square win Give Some
Opportunity for Straight
Voting.

The new ballot bill, with the ex-
ception of few details, has been
completed, and will be submitted to
the Republican State Committee
within two weeks, and then rushed
20 the Legislature. Senator Ben
jamin K. Focht will introduce it.
In brief the provisions are these:
The circle for straight party voting
will be displaced by a square, which
will give the same opportunity for
straight voting. The candidates
are grouped under the title of the
Office tor which they are nominated
To the left is a column in which the
party squares are placed, the
majority party leading, the others
appearing in the order of the mum
Der of votes cast at the preceding
election.
The size of the ballot will be
smaller than the present Baker bal
lot by the elimination of party col
umns and the substitution of party
squares. Printed on the ballot will
be full instructions to the voter
One paragraph will tell him how tc
cast a straight party vote, second
paragraph will inform him how tc
cut his ticket and cast a mixeC
ballot.
1t is understood that there will bc
little if any change in the regula
tons respecting watchers and as
sistants to the voter.

The terms of the Alaskan boundary
treaty have been made public and are
receiving commentator and coudem-
nation. The treaty provides for SIX
commissioners, three to be appointed
by the President Of the United States
and three by his Brtanic majesty, who
are to examine into the cl inns OF
Great Britain and the refutatlon OF
those claims advanced by the United
States and decide as to the accuracy
of both and define the boundary be-
tween the United States and Canada.
All questions must be decided by a
majority vote SO that 1t will, IN every
instance of difference of opinion, be
necessary to convince one OF the
jurists of the opposing side. NO
seventh jurst is to be called in IN the
event of an irreconcilabe difference
and 1t is on this point that Secretary
Hay bases his claim that the commls-
sion cannot be considered an arbltra-
ton tribunal IfDo decision is reach
ed, the present status OF the case Will
not have been changed. The opposl-
ton of the treaty is based on the
ground that the boundary was clearly
defined in 1895 by treaty between
Grea, Britain and Russia and the
submission of the dispute at this late
date is virtual admission of doubt In
situation where no doubt exists

PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
:armer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
