Senator Morrow's Stand.

Mayor Drennen gave an account of the work done in behalf of the Greater Bir- mingham measure from the inciplency of the movement. He told of his efforts to get it through the legislature and the un- expected stand of Senator Morrow, who declared the bill was unconstitutional. Mayor Drennen stated that he had infor- nation that the senator had voted for Greater Montgomery. Greater Ensley and Greater Pratt City bills and did not con- sider them unconstitutional.
 MT. Beitman made a motion that the club again endorse the matter and that the action be sent to the senate in Mont gomery but he was unable to get a sec ond to the motion.
 B. B. Conner made a speech against the bill, and in 1t he accused Mayor Drennen of not saying anything about the Greater Birmingham matter until after the city election, intinating that the mayor would have met with more opposr1lon had his position been known. Mayor Drennen called attention to the fact, in reply to MT. Conner, that in his announcement for mayor he endorsed Greater Birmingham and made that one of the blanks in his platform.
 The matter was closed with the passing of MT. Estes motion, although both Mayor Drennen and MT. Conner had left the meet ing. It will be recalled that MT. Conner fought the Greater Birmingham motion from the start.
 Henry Hidden, chairman of the railroads and transportation committee. stated that he was not ready to report on the matter of the Frisco railroad discriminating against Birmingham in rebilling cotton from Mississippi

 President Jackson stated that the club was in communication with two men, one of whom desired to erect a soap fac tory here and the other to put up a plant for manufacturing machinery for brick plants. The matter has not gone far enough for a definite report.

MINING CONGRESS.
Interesting Matters Relating
To Organization BY Hon.
Irwin Mahon.

before the business men OF Rapid
Ciy, s. d., on the 2lst, by Hon.
Irwin Mahon, secretary Of the
American Mining Congress:
In July, 1897, the first assembly
Of what IL now known AZ the
American Mining Congress was held
in the city Of Denver, Colorado,
with the then governor Of that state,
the Hon. Alva Adams, as its
temporary president.
Early In April Of that same year,
1897, u few gentlemen, realizing the
importance of the mining industry
To the general welfare Of the nation,
and more rapid development Of the
great empire west Of the Mississippi
river, conceived the idea that an
organization that would be broad and
representative In character, through
which might 10 discussed methods
best adapted to the higher de-
velopment Of mining, and In voicing
the results of its deliberati ions, that
these results would be, not the
opinion of an individual, or any
one particular locality, but the voice
Of the people through their
representatives attending Its sessions
from every quarter Of North and
South America, hoping In 80 broad
and liberal platform to command

Of our country, as we'll as that of the

may not be any great mines in the
immediate neighborhood Of Rapid
City, but within short two hours

greatest and most active mineral

Then, again, at Rapid City is located
the state school of mines, with such
professors Of note In charge as Drs.
Slagle, O'Hara and Fulton, who are
successfully educating your young
men, training them for life service
in the mining industry, and those of
you residing in any section of the

HOW TWO GENTLEMEN SETTLE.

While wars and rumors Of wars and
even bloodless fights in the Hawaiian
abodes of peace are agitating the hu-
man race. it is refreshing to turn to
the more recent interviews between
Uncle Sam and John Bull.
Uncle Sam carries his youth iauntily
and in his personal appearance has
greatly improved His chin vhiskers
are still long, but the ends are smoothly
clipped. His hair is abundant and
hangs down, but it is parted on the left
side and well brushed. His side face is
neatly shaved by an American barber.
His clothes are home-spun, but of fine
cloth and well cut. His cooked hat is
worn a. little on one side.
John Bull retains his old costume and
always shaves himself. His top boots
are new and whole. He has discarded
his riding whip. His figure is stocky
and his expression sturdy and good
humored.
These two gentlemen have met on
several occasions. At their first meet
ing they had a row over spilled tea that
ended in fight of several rounds, in
which John Bull was licked. It is fair
TO say that, at the time, he had a mum.
Der Of quarrels on his hands and had
been In some pretty hard tiffs. Bu'
now, with his usual bluffness, he de-
clares that he is glad Uncle Sam be-
came the champion of North America
and that he made a blunder in kickins
up q fuss about few pounds of tea
He puts the blame, however. upon hi
business managers, who were bent up
on a disturbance and got it.
A few years later these two gentle
men met again and had another fight
which resulted in draw, but increases
their respect for each other. Neither O
them can tell exactly what it was about
but they both agree that Uncle Sam
man, Andrew Jackson, was too niue
for Paekenham. In this fight, the tw
principals did not enter the ring.
Passing over a discussion of "a 40 c
fight which was a mere bluffin
match, without disturbing the statr
in quo, their next important encounte
was about two men. Slidell and Maso
who were taken off a steamer belon:
ing to John Bull by the captain of OF
OF Uncle Sans veseefs. Both of ther
were largely engaged in trade, but,
the time, Uncle Sam was very busy al
had his hands full. Through one of h
chief factors, William H. Seward,
returned the two men and that inc
- dent was closed.

MORRIS N. EsTEE.

The late Morris NJ. Estee was by
nature and training a statesman. Had
he belonged to any important state
especially an Eastern one, he would long
ago have been at the head OF a depart
ment of the Federal government. HIS
personal right to aspire TO capinet
portfolio was recognized by more than
one President; but such promotion is
rarely given 4, any man whose State
cuts an inconsequential figure in the
Electoral College. California, politi-
cally speaking, has scant influence;
and il could not back Estee in his
legitimate ambitions In the national
field. But it did the best it could for
him at home. > He was speaker OF the
Assembly, was always leader in par
ty politics and was twice honored with
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. That he did not win the guber-
material post was not the fault OF the
people of Califori la save as they had
let the Southern Pacific railroad be-
come greater then they. Defeat, un-
der such circumstances, was more of
an honor to Estee tnan victory, with
the help of the railroad, could have
been. It added to popularity al
ready large.
three years a. .. AS his acquaintance
grew he made friends and no enemies
and though there were those who diff
fered from him in some of his views
upon public questions, no friction or
acerbity resulted. His good faith was
always clear. Judge Estee had a
kindly soul and a true heart. Some
where in his catholic spirit he found
a good word for every one. 1t was
Impossible to meet him without being
impressed by his friendliness, his con-
sideration and respect for others, his
honesty and open1ess of mind. Those
who knew him well came to regard
him as philosopher and sage, one
to whom they would go when seeking
sincere advice or when in trouble OF
depression.
As jurist, the concrete memorial he
leaves behind is his volume of reports
a great work Of law and justice, one
which covered the whole period of his
judicial service here. The publishers
placed in his hands the first completed
copy and though Judge Estee was near
the valley and the shadow the sight
OF the book Frightened his eye and
flushed his cheek as If he was saying
in his heart, 81 have fought a good
fight, have f. 1ished my course, have
kept the faith Cheering his last
hours was the vision of wise service
faithfully performed.
