The New York Herald, good repub-
lican paper, says of Mark Hanna's La.
est bill: Senator Ha-aa has cast all
measures in the shade by his .!diculous
slave pension BILL" No one for a
moment supposes that it will pass con-
gress. Not even Senator Hanna could
keep his face straight were he asked if
he believed the measure would become
a law. In fact he excuses its introduce
ton by alphabetically indorsing it as
presented Shy request" 1t was most
mischievous thing, however, to have
done. 1t will arouse vain hope among
the negroes of the south that they are
to be pensloned by the government,
and it will stir into activity those who
on various occasions have deluded these
poor people with such hopes and in
duced them to part with their little
savings to "help it along" If Senator
Hanna isn't ashamed of himself be
ought to be.

Senator Quarles is ont in a letter in
which he writes bravely for tariff re-
vision. He gives expression to similar
ideas to those of Congressman Babcock.
He says thatforty-years of tariff legis.
lation is a sure guaranty that the re.
bublicans can be trusted to take care of
the subject. The senator's sentiments
are quite in accord with the thinking
out this way, but when we remember
that all the republicans have done with
the tariff for the last forty years is to
raise it at the behest Of those who were
its benefciaries, the senator's promise to
do this through the republican party
sends chill of despair down the frames
of the poor victims of tariff extortion
and trust greed. The friends of pro-
lection" are the Toes of the masses.
Still, the senator has done tariff reform
service by pointing out the disease,
although he recommends bad doctor.

At the present time one of the fruit.
full subjects of editorial comment in the
Iowa papers is the value of the editorial
page as a means of building up the
patronage of the paper. Editor Lee Of
the Ottumwa Courier, short time
since addressed the Commercial Club, of
Ottumwa, on this subject. and among
other things seemed to advocate the
policy of deyoting the greatest strength
and efforts of the paper to the news
columns, on the principle that the mod
elm reader of the newspaper was abund-
antly able to form lis own conclusions
on matter of policy and all that he
especially asked of the paper was con-
else and well edited news page. With
this view many of the papers Of the
state are finding fault and others are
agreeing, and the subject is receiving at
the hands of the Iowa editors the fullest
discussion. A noticeable fact is that
those papers that are poorest in patron.
age and that are on the ragged edge of
failure are without single exception
firm advocates of the policy of heavy
editorial page, and while many of the
strong papers Of the state are also in
favor of strong editorial pages, the first
fact mentioned is suggestive, and would
tend to the belief that many editors
have mistaken quantity for quality,
and that they have bored their readers
with their prolix views and personal
opinions until their readers have refus-
ed to longer be prosecuted and have
sought other mediums of information.
Certainly the Courier, which makes the
editorial pages of its paper an auxiliary
to its news features, is conspicuous
example of success in the field of Iowa
journalism, in fact one of the most con-
spicuous examples of prosperity in the
state. There can be no objection to
such an editorial page as is offered by
the Council Bluffs Nonpariel, the Sioux
City Journal, and several others might
be mentioned, but when an editorial
writer continues to write not for his
readers, but for the clippings that he
may attain in other papers, he should
rightfully look for his support to the
other papers and cannot expect his
readers to maintain his personal organ.

Did you ever think how much coal it
takes to run the United States for one
day? An average Of 100 pounds a day
is consumed by every ordinary family,
besides the factories, railroads, schools,

lilies about 40 tons of coal a day is used.

Congress has passed and the presi
dent signed bill suspending the tariff or
anthracite coal for one year. The OBJ
ject of this is to give our people cheaper
coal. So it. would seem that in fact the
cost to the consumer is enhanced by
the duty on imports, and that the for

TROOPS CALLED OUT
GOV. WELLS ORDERS STATE MI
LiTIA TO CARBON COUNTY.
National cuardsmen VIII be Required
to Guard Coal Properties and Pre-
vent Disturbance by strik-
Ing Miners.

Governor Heber M. Wells has issued
proclamation ordering the entire Ma.
tional Guard of Utah to Carbon county
to protect life and property and main
tain order at the scenes of the coal
miners strike. The proclamation was
issued Monday night. Governor Wells.
as commander-in-chief, instructed Ad-
jutant General Charles S. Burton to
issue any and all orders which he nav
deem expedient in the mobilization of
the guardsmen at the scene of the
trouble. and providing for their trans
portation to the disturbed districts.
At one time it was thought by Gov
ernor Wells that he might be COM
PEELED to declare that martial law ex-
listed in the disturbed district. But
after further elaboration over the sit
uation, he decided to postpone that
extreme action until after the troops
have arrived upon the scene and he is
better able to judge the conduct Of the
people in the face of an armed force.
1t is the expressed intention of the
governor to call an extra session OF
the legislature in the next two weeks
to make an appropriation for the main
tenance of the troops in the field il it
Is found necessary to expend a very
large amount of state funds to pre-
serve peace in Carbon county.
Governor Wells action was based
on the reports of threats against
life and property that were brought to
his notice. Men who have wished to
work have been deferred from doing
30 through fear of injury to their fam
lilies and the burning of their houses.
Threats have been made to destroy
the property of the company as well,
and there has been apprehension
among the miners that should they
contiue work in the mines the fans
that supply them with air might be
wrecked and the miners perish In con-
sequence.
The governor declares that he is de-
termined to preserve peace at all haz-
ards, and the troops will not be re-
called until he is assured that their
presence is no longer required at |
Castle Gate, Sunnyside, Scofeld and
Winter Quarters. The entire guard
will be distributed among those camps
In commands in proportion to the re-
quirements, as thought best by Gen
cral Cannon.

HE eLADDENED THE CHILDREN.

Baltimore Citizen introduced German
Toys in America.
Perhaps Mr.. Henry Schwarz OF Bal
timore actually was not, as has been
claimed, the man who introduced a
new element in American life by
bringing German toys here and open
ing the eyes of this country's children
to their delights. Girls and boys,
doubtless, have had toys ever since 1t
has been possible to construct doll
out of rags or an imitation gun out of
q stick of wood; but at any rate, Mr..
Schwarz was one of the pioneers in
bringing the German variety, which
may be described as the toy rescued
from barbarism and made civilized,
here. As a matter of business he Gre
ated . demand for these wares and
then set himself to supply that de-
mand, but it is impossible to believe
that he did not have a sympathy for
his work that was beyond business,
genuine interest in childish pleasures,
otherwise he never would have had
the faith in his business and its ex-
tension which he did have.-Baltimor

Without health nothing is worth

A California trained nurse proved
this: Three years ago l was taken
very sick, my work as a trained nurse
having worn me out both in body and
mind, and medicine failed to relieve
me at all. After seeing a number of
physicians and specialists and getting
no relief was very much discouraged
and felt that l would die of general
nervous and physical collapse.
my condition was SO bad never
imagined food would help me but on
the advice of q friend l tried Grape
Nuts. The first package brought me

cines and used Grape-Nuts steadily
three times q day. The result was
that within months l had SO COM
