The Brooklyn Eagles report from Washington that the Roman Catholic priesthood of the country has gone bag and baggage into the republican party for this campaign, on account of the Philippine issue, becomes ri- diculous the moment one recalls that Cardinal Gibbons was one of the earliest and most conspicuous sign- CTS of the petition for a promise of Philippine independence, says the Springfield Republican The wish is father to the thought in this case, no doubt. To be sure, the republi- can managers are using every en- deavor to get the Catholic vote this year. Now that one or two Catho- lie periodicals have gone over, it has given them courage, and they would have the country believe that there is a regular stampede of recruits to their party, and particularly from the Catholic ranks. When those that flop over are counted up after cleo ton it will be seen, no doubt, that the number was very few indeed. This is an age of thought and just because the republican party is mak- ing bid for votes by few good turns here and there is. no reason why sensible men are going to tum- ble all over themselves getting under the republican banner. The scheme of the republican managers is too transparent, although to be sure the weakest dragnet always catches some fish, even though they may be the small fry.

The chief argument of high tariff benefciaries and their press. agents in defense of their system of monop oly, says one writer on this subject, is that the difference between wages in America with high protection, and England with virtually free trade, is due to the tariff; that any reduction of the tariff would mean a corresponding reduction of wages, and that, therefore, the workingmen in his own interest should vote for the highest possible duty on foreign imports. While other claims are advanced, it is on this ground that the workingman's vote is asked at election time by the party which at other times has no use for him ex- cept to squeeze the most work pos sible out of him for the lowest wage he can be persuaded or starved into taking. It needs but little examina- ton to show that a high tariff does not of itself assure high wages, for while wages in the United States, a high tariff country, are higher than wages in England, free trade eoun- try, the wages paid in free trade England are. considerably higher than wages in Germany, France, Austria Hungary, Russia, Italy, Spain and Sweden, Tn all of which countries a high tariff prevails. It would be as sensible or as senseless to say that free trade is responsible for high wages in England as com pared with low wages in high tariff Germany and France as to say that a high tariff is responsible for the fact that wages are better in Amer ica than in England.

 It happened recently, says the New York Globe, that Chauncey M. Depew, James J. Hill, William Rockefeller. James Stillman and J. Pierpont Mor- gan attended the same board meeting in a big bank building downtown. Dur ing the session a district telegraph messenger presented himself with note and package for Senator De pew. On the package was written, 'sCollect 1.40," and the boy waited for the cash
 The senator pulled out two or three quarters and some small coin, and aft CT fruitless exploration of his waist coat and trousers pockets turned to MT. Rockefeller, who was sitting near him, and said in the most matter of fact way, "Pay the boy, will you, Rockefeller2'
 Certainly" was the response, and Mr. Rockefeller produced dollar bill. "How much is it? Eh- $1 40? Well, I don't believe that have got as much
 
 "What's wanted P asked MT. Morgan briskly. "One dollar and forty cents? No, I haven't got it. That is too much money to carry around loose in one's pocket. Here, Stillman, you are bank CT. You pay the bill. I'll guarantee De, pew"
 With his usual imperturbable man. ner MT. Stillman took neatly folded fifty dollar bill out of very thin pock- etbook and rendered tito the boy, who merely glanced at it and grinned. 'I have nothing else," said the bank pres ident
 Senator Depew was busy reading his note and paid no further attention to the messenger, who turned an inquir- ing eye on James J. Hill as the only one not yet called upon. Without in- vestigat1ng the state of his personal ex- chequer Mr. Hill called out to the ste nographer, Here, Alfred, give this boy his money and charge it to Depew."
 The messenger received the money without further delay and went away, doubtless with an altered idea of what it is to be millionaire.

Vice Presidential Candidate Fair banks could only draw a crowd of 800 in the occasionally republican city of Hartford. That looks bad surely. Why, the smallest city in the state should do better than that. Perhaps the people knew just about what Fairbanks had to say, and therefore did not want to sit an hour or two listening to. an old story. And then again perhaps a whole lot of them are considering the question, and would rather not be interrupted by republican spell binders and stand patters.''

senator Lattmer,s Mistake.

United States Senator Latimer of South Carolina made mistake he didn't relish when he recently got into a Republican meeting in New York city. The senator thought that he was among Democrats and began to eulo- gize Parker and Davis. Some of his auditors knew the senator and humor- ed the situation by breaking into roars of laughter. The senator quickly re- alized his mistake, and he immediate ly retired, followed by the laughter of the Republicans.

.Sm@ Woman Who Can Aim Straight.
 In the near future marksmen in some parts of the United States will probably find themselves opposed on the shooting range to one of the clev- crest rife shots in England, Miss Flor ence Lewes, the young woman whose exploits at the annual shooting com petition this year have attracted wide attention all over the world. Miss Lewes, who is a grandniece Of George Henry Lewes, explained, just after she had made thirty-three out of a possible thirty-five buIlseyes at 200 yards, that she took up shooting not long ago because she intends to emil grate to Canada shortly. So her ap- pearance on American ranges is likely.

Uncle sam's Soldiers Must Have
 Straight UnderpinnAngs.
 Major Galbraith, recruiting officer for the United States army, and Colo nel Thomas of the Eleventh cavalry, stationed at Fort Des Moines, are au- thority for the statement that bow legged men will hereafter be barred from the army.
 The purpose of this order, which emanates from the war department, is explained on the ground that a bow legged man cannot withstand hard march as successfully as his comrade with symmetrical extremities. Hith- erto it has been customary to admit bowlegged men to the cavalry regi- mepts and to regard 1t as a point in their favor, but service in the Ameri- can-Spanish war showed that cavalry men do much dismounted service.

Strike at the Jumper.

On July 2 the management at the
Jumper Gold Syndicate's properties in
Tuolumne county posted notices that
commencing July all underground
workmen would be required to strip to
the naked body before passing through
the change room in going off and on
shift; also that on and after that date
men working underground would be
notified by light signals when to leave
off work and when to resume at lunch
time, making the.regulations in regard
to lunch time the same underground as
on top.
The first of these notices aroused a
strong feeling of resentment among the

ing in the calling of a special meeting

Clemmens of Gwin mine, and daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J H. Thomas of ANA.
dor City, died at the home of her par.
ents in Amador City on Monday, July
11th, at o'clock a. m. Mrs. Clemmens

up to a short time before her death her
case was not considered serious. Fate
willed it that she should die, and med
ical skill could not prolong her life.
One week before her death she was
stricken with paralysis, and although
she remained conscious she could not
speak, and greeted her parents, hus-
band, children, brother and sisters,
only with smile. She was christian
lady, beloved and esteemed by old and
young alike. In youth she was an
obedient daughter and proved faith
full and devoted wife, fond and loving
mother. A large concourse of sorrow
ing relatives and friends followed her
remains to their last resing place in the
Amador City cemetery Wednesday at
2 o'clock p. m. Besides husband and
two sons she leaves her parents, one
brother, and four sisters to mourn her
loss.

NOTES FROM
GOLD MINES

KENNEDY.-The addition to the mill
is being completed as rapidly as pos
sible. When the 100 stamps are run.
ming this will be one of the most
thoroughly equipped plants in the
state.
ONEIDA.-Every one is working and
saying little at this mine, which is a
good indication that the mine is in a
fourishing condition. Superintendent t
Hampton keeps watchful eye on
everything and is familiar with the
most minute details of every depart
ment.
SOUTH EUREKA Fifty men are
now employed at the mine. Good ore
is beingImined, and the mill is again
running to its fullest capacity. The
future of this property promises to be
much brighter than its past.
CENTRAL EUREKA a prop
erty pays as this one has done, and is
doing, you can expect nothing but
praise for the mine from superintend-
ent, stock holders, directors, and en-
ployes. This is the sentiment that
prevails throughout at the Central
Contentment and satisfaction are the
watch words and every thing moves
with the regularity of clock work.
N-WILDMAN--MAH
The spirit of activity still pervades the
surrounding atmosphere, and those
in charge assure the anxious ones that
extensive operations will begin about
August 1st. The water is now being
taken out of the Lincoln shaft. The
whistle blows regularly.
KEYSTONE The old reliable Key
stone never relaxes for moment, the
mine is full of men both day and night
and the mill never fails to yield good
ly portion of the yellow metal that
caused the democratic convention to
drop the silver plank from their plat
form.
BUNKER HILL,-This, is one of the
busy spots in little Amador and those
in charge have great faith in the future
developments of the mine.
FREMONT -GOvER-The mine has
now been closed three months. Every
industry in the county has suffered
thereby. $500, ,OOO have been invested
by the present owners and the prop
erty is still prospect. Work will un-
doubtedly begin soon.
ARGoNAUT.--The large ore bin is
piled high with good looking rock.
Developments are proving satisfacto ry
in the mine, and when the mill starts
again it will probably run continuously
for years.
ZEILA.-Repair work is now in order
and the working force has been reduc-
ed to 40 men. Many of the discharged
miners are spending their vacation in
San Francisco.

Suicide of Henry Stark.

Henry Stark. an old and respected
citizen of this place, saw fit to end his
earthly existence Friday evening by
taking dose of strychnine. AS soon
as members of the family discovered
what he had done they sent for DR..
Gall, who Immediately called DR..
Endicott and everything was done that
could be done to preserve life but with
out avail. The victim went from one
CONFUSION into another until death re-
lieved him of his sufferings. No cause
can be given for the rash act He was
a man comfortably situated, and his
home surroundings were most pleasant.
His remains were inferred in the Prot
estant cemetery Sunday at 2:3O p. m.
He leaves wife, two sons, and two
daughters to mourn his loss.

A Painful Accident.

Elmer Sullivan, the l0-year- old son
of John Sullivan of Pine Grove, had
the misfortune to have his left hand
blown off Tuesday. The boy was try
ing to light giant powder cap with a
match, when it exploded and shattered
his hand in such a manner that DR..
FREEMAN found it necessary to amputate
the member at the wrist joint. The
boy is doing nicely. This should be a
lesson to all boys who hear of the cir.
cumstance not to meddle with such
things. They are intended for use
only by experienced miners. Young
boys should keep their hands off, OF
they may soon have no hands to keer

Falls Down Shaft.

MoKELUMNE HILL, July 10.-John
Souden, a shift inspector at the Gwin
mine, yesterday afternoon fell from the
skip to the bottom of the shaft, dis
tance of 1000 feet, and was killed. His
body was mangled beyond recognition.
Souden and fellow inspector. Chris
Curovich, were going up the skip in
specting the shaft, daily custom, pre-
paratory to lowering the o'clock shift
of miners. Within fifty feet of the top
Curovich. who was examining his side
of the shaft. heard his partner give a
warning signal, "Look out" Turning
around he saw Souden's body being
drawn between the skip and the wall
plate.
The body was crushed through a
space of six inches and fell below be-
fore signal could be given to stop.
The supposition is that Souden, seeing
something was wrong, thrust his head
out to examine more closely and his
head was caught between the wall and
the skip. The miners below knew
nothing of the accident until they heard
the body plunge into the sump. Sew
eral hours passed before the head and
all the members were recovered.
Souden was 81 years old and leaves
a widow and child. He had been work.
ing for the company eight years and
was trusted and highly respected en-
ploye.-Examiner.
Mr.. Souden was we'll known along

He lived for many years in Amador

of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Thomas. His
remains were inferred in the Amador
cemetery on Monday, under the auspices
of the Union, Workmen, and Foresters
of America. He leaves wife, daugh-
ter, and two stepsons to mourn his
death.-Ed.
