NAME GOOD MEN.

A committee from the business
mems association of Pueblo. calls
upon the different political parties to
nominate only good business men for
office, so that no matter which party
is victorious at the polls the city may
be assured of good business admin
istration.
1t is principle that should apply
here in Florence Rumor seems to
indicate that there will be at least
three tickets in the field this spring.
AS only one set of officers can be elect
ed, it certainly should behoove the
trainers of each ticket to see to it that
it's persoEel is above reproach, both
from a business and moral standpoint,
SO that Florence may feel that what
ever the result of the election may be.
municipal affairs will be properly ad
ministered for the next year.

IMMIGRATION.

II one were asked to name the
strongest proof Of the virility of the
American race. he would not be far
wrong il he pointed to the fact that
we are able to receive and assimilafe
the enormous immigration which
pours like food, year by year, upon
our chores, without losing our strong
marked characteristics either in
the nation or in the individual, says
the Scientific American How vast
is this immigration is shown by the
statistics of the number of cabin and
steerage passengers landed at the port
of New York during last year, in
which all previous records were sur
passed. OF cabin passengers there
were 1884 while the enormous
total of 574, ,261 steerage passengers
was landed at this port The pre-
vious year the figures were 1873, l43
cabion and 43S, 1858 steerage passengers; !;
while in 1900, 1877, s52 cabin and 403,
49l steerage passengers were landed
in New York city.
Evidently the tide of immigration
is rising steadily. But just to think
of it Over half million of for
eigners of all nationalities, composed
chiefly of the very poorest and most
ignorant peoples of Europe, are alb
sorbed by this country, so easily and
naturally, that beyond the mere reg
istration of numbers, this multitude
makes. for all evidence to the contrary,
no visible impression upon the routine
of our daily life. The explanation of
our easy assimilation Of these hetero-
geneous millions is to be found in our
magnificent public school system,
which is undoubtedly the chief agency
in making the immigrants children
who are native by birth, native also
in sympathy and training.

SCORES DIVORCES.
Cardinal Gibbons, in u Sermon in Ball
timore, Says Social ScourEe Is
Worse. Than Norm O n ism.

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 3.-Cardinal
Gibbons Sunday sounded a note of
warning in discussing the growing.
number of divorces. He said in part:
'There is social scourge more
blighting and more destructive of fam
lily life than Mormonism. It is the
fearfully increasing number of di
vorce mills throughout the United
States. These mills are slowly but
surely grinding the domestic affairs
of the nation. Husband and wife are
separated on the most fimsy preteXts.
And as if the different states of the
union were not sufficiently accommo-
dating in this respect, South Dakota
has the unenviable distinction of
granting divorce for the mere ask
ing of it on the sole condition of brief
sojourn within her borders."

scale demanded by the miners, and the
latter voted solidly against readopting
the present scale.
When the report was presented
Frank L. Robbins, of the Pittsburg dis
trict, took the lead for the operators,
declaring that what they wanted first
was uniformity of conditions through
out the competitive field. He offered
to leave the fixing of hours of labor to
the commission investigating the an
thraoite strike, and quoted from Pres
ident Mitchell's testimony before the
commission to the effect that the BIZ
luminous miners, working under more
favorable conditions and eight hours
instead of ten, received 40 per cent.
more wages than do the anthracite
miners.
Mitchell Replies.
President Mitchell replied that he
had made the statement, but there
were qualifying statements that
should have been reported with it, and
these would have materially changed
it's meaning. He quoted figures re-
garding the number of men employed
that were included in his statement
and would greatly reduce the percent
age. . .s@--
Wages INCREASED 20 Per Cent.
w. S. Boyle, an Indiana operator,
produced statistics to show that the
wages of the miners in 1897 were 48
cents per ton, and now they are 80
cents, an increase of 70 per cent. He
charged the miners with organizing
trust and basing their demands not
on fair days wage, but on percent
age of the profits of the operators, and
to this end they are trying to discour-
age the use of machines.
Statistics Submitted.
The miners submitted mass of sta
tistics to show the profits Of the op-
orators, and also the evidence of ex-.
perts to show that present prices will
prevail for two years: to come. To
this the operators replied that from rs
to 90 per cent. of their coal was under
contract March of this year and that
since the shortage of anthracite it re-
quired more coal to fill contracts. One
operator said he was shipping coal
during the reign Of high prices under
a contract for $1.50 per ton, when he
could have sold the same coal at the
mines for four dollars.
