harmonious and most appropriate assembly

very appropriately be called Independence

FIVE ovens have been completed by

Fires have already been started

those completed are being filed

There 10 friendly rivalry be-
tween the two gangs of workmen.
Both are trying to be ready to ship
out the first consignment of coal
and coke. Thus far, one has not
gained much advantage over the
other.
The railroad tracks to the mine
openings and coke ovens will be
completed to each of the works
this evening about the same time.
These branch railroads were begun
last fall. 1t will be only short
time till great quantities of both
coal and coke will be shipped out

New prospectors are going up over
the M. & X. road every few days
searching for additional resources
Several men have been up this
week, and it is rumored that some
thing more valuable than sandstone
and mine props has been discover
ed.
The expectation is that the road
will be extended ont through the
glades to Kingwood the coming
summer, or to Albrightsville. AT
the latter place it would probably
meet an extension OF the Cheat Riv-
er road.
If al many resources are unearth-
ed in the next thirteen miles as
were discovered in the first thirteen,
no one may tell what to expect. 1t
is sure that cranberries, onions,
buckwheat and potatoes will be en-
countered on the way, and If King
wood is searched sure enough, Sill
dell Brown will be one OF the great
est resources brought into activity.

Now that the tariff tax OF 81 cents
per ton on coal has temporarily re-
moved by way of favor to the cou
sumner, the Chicago Chronicle won
ders why the tariff on meats is per
mitted to remain. The tariff on
cattle is from s. to sa.7s per head;
on swine $50 per head; sheep, IS
cents to SI.so per head baron and
ham, S cents per pound; beef, veal,
mutton and pork cents per pound.
The Chronicle further points out
that the tariff on wool and manu-
features of wool ranges from 50 to
100 cents. Il pretends to be sur
prised because the same considera-
ton that has been given to the coal
consumers has not been given TO
the consumers OF meat and to the
consumers Of wool.

They have been having very
lively times in the Colorado Legis-
lature over the election of United
States Senator. The contest has
been between Henry M. Teller and
Edward o. Wolcott and the doings
in Denver during the past few days
have been very like what used to be
done in New Orleans In the evil
days when Louisiana was under
carpetbag and bayonet rule.
In the Colorado Legislature, as
elected and returned, there was on
joint ballot of the two houses a
sufficient Democratic majority to
defeat Wolcott and re-eIect Mr..
Teller to the United States Senate.
The Republicans had majority
in the House, but the Democrats
had larger majority in the Senate.
To reverse the majority on joint
ballot the House Republicans,
acting under the desperate leader
ship OF Wolcott, expelled the eleven
Dem ocrats elected in Arapahoe
county. The Democrats of the
Senate retaliated by expelling a
sufficient number of Republicans to
restore their rightful supremacy on
joint ballot.
These tactics have resulted in the
sensational deadlock described in
the news dispatches.
