Unduly Excited.
ED. COURIER:

ED. COURIER:
wish to protest against the methods
of a certain so-called newspaper OF
your section, which week after week
defames our mines, constantly limiting
at fake mining schemes, threatening TO
expose them, and never doing any,
thing of the kind.
If this thing is kept up much longer,
moneyed men will become timid and
it will be impossible to get them to
look at mine in this section, no mat
ter how valuable it may be. There
has been quite mining revival the
past twelve months, outside capital
has become interested, number of
good mines have been opened and
much good has resulted, both to min
ing men and to the people generally.
And say, let the good work of devel-
oping our resources go on. knock
er who never saw a mine and knows
as much about mine as mule does
of photography should not be permit
ted to hammer away for weeks at a
stretch to the injury of legitimate in
dustry and the people generally of the
State.
You deserve slap, too, Mr.. Smith,
for your almost uniform silence in re-
regard to the matter, and feel like
giving it to you. Why don't you
roast the fellow? Shut him up SO
tight he will lay away his little ham,
mer for good, so far as mining is con-
cerned.
ALPINE.
Our correspondent is unduly agitat-
ed. The mines and mining companies
have not been injured. You can't
make dog sing, nor mudturtle laugh
We consider the whole matter un-
worthy of any consideration and re.
luctantly refer to it in answering on,

ago, as evidenced by the following sen
fences, it belittles itself and can do n,
harm:

TWO ELECTION TABLES
INTERESTING STATISTICS OF
VOTE CAST IN 1895 AND 1900.
The Figures Show That Landslide
Will Be Necessary to Affect Change
in Administration.

1t is pretty close to figuring time now,
and those who like to play at the fasci-
mating game of election possibilities will
find deep interest in the tables printed here
with, giving the complete returns Of the
elections of 1896 and 1900. These tables
form an accurate basis for computation and
forecast as to the results of the balloting
of November s next. 1t will be seen that
the election of 1900 was in no sense close
one. The figures therefore indicate that 1t
will require a landslide, indeed, to upset
the calculations of the republican managers
who have the firm foundation of results ac-
complished by overwhelming majorities just
four years ago to back them in their pres
ent predictions.
Only seven states were carried by plurali-
ties of less than 10000 votes by the two par
ties in 1900. These were nearly all small
states. where the total vote cast made the
small pluralities just decisive. as the
larger figures reported from the big states.
The seven states referred to were entitled
to but thirty-siX votes in the electoral col
lege, and none of them has increased rep
resentation in the electoral college of 1904
The close states of 1900 were: Delaware,
3,6T1, republican. three electoral votes;
Idaho. 2.21G, democratic, three electoral
votes; Kentucky. 1875 democratic. thirteen
electoral votes: Nebraska. 1922. republican
eight electoral votes: Nevada, 2.49S demo-
cratic. three electoral votes; Utah, 2, 13:5,

the question of wages of the machinists
OF the Washington navy yard.
The conference was for the purpose of
considering data bearing on the question

such comments in their opinion was
necessary, and the members called the at

In the skill and efficiency required of the
machinists in the navy yard and those en-
pioyed in the private establishments from

data. ~

the existing differences but they were not
entirely satisfactory to the committee. The

DELIGHT in Its Perusal.

Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington Hebrew
Congregation, says: THE reading Of The
Yoke has been anything but yoke and a
burden to me- on the contrary, 1 am pleased
to record my hearty delight in its perusal.
1t has always been a matter of surprise and
regret to me that the dramatic and romantic
elements, of Egyptian life have been so stu
diously neglected. All the more is the au-
thor of The Yoke to be congratulated on
her successful English exploitation of the
rich field which George Ebers admirably
cultivated in the German. The interest In
the book never lags. The incidents and
characters pass by in varied yet heightened
intensity. and one lays down the book with
a refreshed. delighted and rested feeling"

ming, 4,31S. republican, three electoral votes.
In the election of 1896, which was also 2
clean sweep for the republican party, tnero
were but eight close states, but they repae ..
sented a much larger electoral vote tnan
the seven close states of four years ia.eI.
The states carried by less than !0,VO piuI-
atty in 1896 were: California, 2,I9I. repuo-
lican; Delaware, $3.50, republican; Ken
lucky, 2S1, republican; Nevada, 6.439. demo-
cratic; North Dakota, 5.649, republican;
Oregon, 2.117, republican,; south Dakota'
1885, democratic; Wyoming 5sS, oemocIauc.
OF these eight states four were decisiveiy
captured by the republicans and no longer
appear in the doubtful column Ihey were
California Oregon, North Dakota ana Soutn
i Dakota. The states brought into the doubt
| full column to Offset these were Idaho, Neo-
raska and Utah. Nebraska and titan were
won from Bryan by the republicans, whhe
| in Idaho the democratic plurality was re
duced from 16, S6S in 1896 to 2,216 in l9Oo.
Kentucky, captured by the republicans IN
| 1896 by PSI votes, was won back by the
| democrats in 1900 by several thousand ma
| jority and is no longer counted upon as
doubtful. The strength of the gold demo-
cratic movement in Kentucky in 1896 was
responsible for Its loss to the democracy at
| that time.
The democrats are claiming doubtful
| this year many states that voted for Nc
| Kinley four years ago by more than 1o,oJo
plurality. This condition makes 1t an up
hill fight for the democrats all along the
| line and it is admitted that some remark
able change of sentiment must come over
| the voters of the country to change the
results so emphatically pronounced in 1870.
| New York is claimed one of the most
| ''favorably doubtful states by the demo-
| Gratis. yet the Empire state in 1896 went
republican by 26S.0O0 and in 1909 by more
| than $4,000. change of seventy-odd
| thousand votes from the 1900 election will
| be necessary to effect difference in the
1894 result. Indiana, also claimed as
doubtful, gave a republican plurality of
more than 260GO in $780, while New Jersey,
which the democrats must win in order to
hope for success went republican in that
year by more than $4,000.
Figures are cold-blooded affairs. and it
requires brave heart to fly in the face of
them.
