AN ANEcDOTE OF HANNA
I. V. Powderly Tells of His Regard
 for His Em ployes.


 I. v. Powderly Tells of His Regard
 for His Employes.
 T. V. Powderly. formerly head of the Knights of Labor, said the other day in speaking of Senator Hanna:
 T have known him for p years. Al. though a very wealthy man, he was a sincere friend of labor and always wise counsellor. The first time I met him had been sent for by the em- ployes in one of his mines, who be- longed to the Knights of Labor. They wanted me to see the Senator for them and try to adjust differences without strike. saw the Senator.
 "'Where are my men, said he.
 q told him that they were waiting to hear from me.
 "'Why don't they come to see me. then? Can they not talkY he asked.
 q told him that they were afraid he would not talk to them.
 "'Certainly will talk to them,' re- piled Senator Hanna. I would sooner see them than would you, MT. Pow. derly, because my business is directly with them
 q brought the Miners Committee in and in a very short time everything was arranged. When the business was concluded he turned to them and said: "'Now, men, everything within req son can always be fixed up between us. Don't be foolish and go on strike and lose your time and wages. know more about soft coal mining than Mir. Powderly does, because he comes from the hard coal field, and want to treat with my men directly
 "When MT. Hanna was attacked in the campaign of 1896 as the enemy of labor I was quoted as saying that he was the murderer of labor in his coal mines. This forced me to go on the stump and tell the above incident MT. Hanna was always as much a friend of labor as of capital, and both suffer cd loss in his death."

None Other Arc Genuine.

We are the only nation of hustlers, and the idea suggests itself that all the rest of the world cannot be entirely wrong and we alone right in the con- duct and object of life. The Germans and the French work for certain num- Der of hours with a steady but not a feveish industry, and then they enjoy themselves in what We would consider rather childish way. They gather in their cafes or gardens with their fam flies and chat good-humoredly about trivial subjects. Even the English, though abounGing in physical energy, take life easily.
 They seem to us to make too much of their leisure game of cricket. But all these nations have accomplished great things not only in science, art and and literature, but in the material ad- vance of civilization. They do not ex- pend nervous energy as rapidly as we do, and in consequence the period of life work among their men is longer. They do not consume life so fast May 1t not be that they in their old-fashioned way are wiser than we? They have embodied their views of life in proverbs like: More haste worse speed" "He who goes slowly goes far" 'It's the pace that kills" and others to the same purport, and proverbs are entitled to respect, be- cause they embody the wisdom of hu- manity. There is no proverb enjoining the necessity of continuous restless ac- uvity.-Hartford Times.

A Monster Steer.

Sixteen years ago the late Dennis Jeffers, of Bear Hopkins, owned a steer that weighed 3,330 pounds. The animal was monstrosity. He was not fat when weighed, but was simply big all over, being eight feet tall. Mr. Jeffers meant to fatten him and place him on exhibition, but without any warning the steer lay down and died one night His hide was saved and is now in St. Louis. Abe Jeffers, son of Dennis Jeffers, has been asked to send some of the bones. to St. Louis to be exhibited along with the hide. MT. Jeffers has accordingly dug up all the skeleton that is still in good state of preservation. The steer is considered the largest framed one that ever lived, and it is said that if the skeleton had been preserved entire 1t would now be worth $1,000.-Kansas City Journal.

WHEAT FIELDS IM CANADA.
Manitoba Can Produce Twice as Much
 Wheat as Russia.

Wheat as Russia.
 Manitoba Is pre-eminently the pro- vince of wheat. Westward of Winni. peg, when the fields are yellow and almost ripe. you may ride for a day md half with nothing between your eye and the sky line but wheat-a boundless sea of wheat, ripping to the prairie wind like waves to the run of invisible feet, says the Chautauquan. The tall red tower of the elevators rise where settlements have clustered into a village, but across the fenceless reaches is nothing but the yellow wheat. The province Is only in Its in. fancy. Only one-tenth of the wheat lands are occupied; yet that tenth yields more wheat than Great Britain, one-Afth as much as the two Russias, twice as much as Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Belgium together. a third more than Austria, fifth more than Roumania. When all Manitoba's wheat lands are occupied this province alone will be producing twice as much as Germany.
 At each little prairie station hosts of settlers go out from the colonlst cars of the train and look with wondering eyes on the vast fenceless fields that seem to begin where the sun rises and end where the sun sets. It Is new world--a world of promise-to them, from the stifed countries of Europe, a world where land hunger Is no crime. and land to be had for the taking, and success awaiting ripe to the hand of toll. How the eyes that have dug themselves out in an eastern sweat. shop moisten at sight of the boundless prairie. And the back bent with toll for a pit.ance that meant slavery of self-supporting manhood. There is 80 much room! There Is so much free air! There Is such plain, palpable. boundless opportunity for every man!

 An old "darky" was standing on . street corner in Charleston with g white man from New York who was investing money in the neighborhood, and was questioning the negro about the country. As they stood there, says the Baltimore Sun, the son of the ne- gro's former master passed by. The negro snatched off his hat and said, Good evenin', Massa Charles!'
 "Why," said the New York man, "do you take off your hat and call that man 'master'7 Don't you know that you have as many privileges as he has; that you can vote. as well as he cant You are every bit as good as he is.
 "Oh, no, sir," said the old darky, "'deed, sir, you is mistaken. I knows Is good as you is, sir, but deed, sir, I ain't nothin' like as good as Marse Charles!'

A Locomotive Without Fire.

From Germany comes news of a To- comotve worked by steam, and yet independent of fire of its own. The engine has just been completed at the Hohenzollern works at Dusseldorf, and is one of type designed for shunting in explosive factories. Instead of car rying fire in its own boiler, it is filled with steam from stationary boilers and when so charged is capable of sev- eral hours work. The first warming up occupies half an hour. and subse- quent recharging can be done in a quarter of an hour. The apparatus Is so simple that an unskilled workman Is able to look after 1t. The absence of fire in a place where dynamite or gun powder is being handled is the reason for the invention of this type of en. zine.

AN IMMORTAL lNvecrIve.
John Young Brown's Denuuciation q
 "I3en" Butler in Congrsss.

John Young Brown's Denunciatio. q
 "Ben" Butler in Congrssa
 One of the most immortal specimens of congressional invective ever uttered was the speech of John Young Brown, of Kentucky, in the reconstruction period. Ben" Butler, of Massachu. setts, had delivered violent philippio against the Southern people and par ticularly again the people of Louis lana, who were just then in the midst of the struggle which. ended with the overthrow of the Kellogg dynasty. Browns response was as follows:
 tMr. Speaker, the South Is broken. It lies in helplessness and despair, with homes dilapidated, villages vast ed its people bankrupt. Is there noth. ing in that situation to touch you with pity? If your magnanimity can. not be touched, will you not be moved by sense of justice? By a conspiracy between the attorney general and Kel. logg and drunken Federal judge the sovereignty of State was overthrown. The usurpation has been perpetuated since by bayonets. But recently one of your generals entered the legislative halls as Cromwell entered the English parliament with Col. Pride, and ruth. lessly expelled the occupants. Onward and onward you go in defiance of the sentiment of the country, remorse. lessly determined, 1t seems, to drive the Southern people to destruction, to give their roofs to the flames and their flesh to the eagles. A Federal gen. eral steps on the scene and sends Q dispatch that the people of the State are banditti. We have heard 1t echoed elsewhere that they were thieves and murderers and night riders. The clergy of that State, Jew and Gentle, have denied It. The business men and Northern residents have denied 1t. A committee of your own house, ma. iority being Republicans, have given 1t solemn and emphatic contradiction and nailed the islander to the counter.
 "Now, what should be said if that accusation should come from one who Is outlawed in his own home from respectable society; whose name ts synonymous with falsehood; who is the champion, and has been on all occasions. of fraud; who is the apolo. gist of thieves; who Is such prodigy of vice and meanness that to describe him imagination would sicken and invective would exhaust itself? In Scotland, years ago, there was a man whose trade was murder, and he earn- ed his livelihood by selling the bodies of his victims for gold"
 Here he paused a moment and then repeated with intense force: This mans name was linked to his crime, and to-day, throughout the world, 1t Is known as .Burking.' If were to characterize all that was pusillanimous In war, inhuman in peace, forbidding In morals and infamous in politics, should call 1t 'Butlerizing.'
 Butler tried to turn the matter of with sarcasm, but 1t seemed for awhile as if the pressure toward a personal encounter would be too strenuous to resist. The punishment of Brown by a reprimand from the chair was at last decided to be sufficient amends for Butler.

FILIPINO BRAVERY.
Instances of Remarkable Courage in
 Their Fights Against Us.

Instances of Remarkable Courage In
 Their Fights Against Us.
 The Filipinos as well as the Ameri cans have q record of brave deeds dur. ing the war with Uncle Sam's soldiers. One of their heroes Is Col. Santa Roman.
 Shortly after the outbreak of hostili ties, when the firing line was just out side of Manila, Col. Santa Roman called for POO volunteers. and with this force he slipped one night inside the American outposts along the shore of the bay, getting into the city unseen. It was his intention to set the city aflre, attack the Americans from the rear, and by confusing them give the Filipinos under Pic del Pillar an oppor- tunity to. make successful attack.
 But once inside the city a patrol dis covered the little band and opened fire. The POO intrenched themselves behind a hastily-thrown-up barricade, and for two hours fought ten times their num- Der of American. Nearly all of them were killed, and only score succeeded in cutting their way back to their own lines. Col. Santa Roman was one of the twenty.
 Several months later he was killed by his own countrymen while attempt ing to defend his friend and chief, An tonic Luna, from band of assassins. The two men killed three of the .mur- derers, however, before they fell.
 You will also hear from Americans, as well as from Filipinos, of an incl dent which occurred at the time when Gregorio del Pillar was killed in the Filn Pass.
 The insurgents were defeated to- ward evening, after an all-day fight AS the Americans reached the top of the hill, which the Filipinos had been defending, they saw Gen. Pillar mount ing horse. They opened fire again and the young general fell dead. The horse was wounded and galloped of. but native boy, who had been hold ing it by the bridle, picked up gun. stepped across his dead masters body, and returned the fire of the American soldiers. He fired two shots, then stopped; his ammunition was gone.
 The Americans, admiring his brav- cry, wished to take him alive, so they ceased firing. But when they reached the boy he attacked them so fiercely with the butt of his musket that they were obliged to shoot him after all. It developed later that this boy was no soldier at all, but the valet of Pillar
 At the battle of Bocave a Filipino soldier astounded the Americans by his cool display of bravado. AS usual, the Filipinos were defeated, and were scattering into the bamboo copses Suddenly one of them halted on a slight eminence and fired what was evidently his last shot. Then he de- liberately laid down his gun. A con- pany concentrated its fire at him, but he remained unhurt. There he stood for fully two minutes, alternately wag- ging his fingers at his ears and stick ing out his tongue. At last, with a gesture of his arm that said plainly, "You make me weary" he sauntered quietly off and disappeared behind the hill.

Among the legal advertisements
it this issue of the HERALD will be
found a notice of the submission of
a constitutional amendment, chang
ing the length of term for which
county commissioner is to be elsc-
ted. The proposed amendment if
it carries will change the term from
two to four years and arrange so
that there will always be one or
two hold-over members familiar
with the business. The office OF
county commissioner is the most
important one in the county to the
taxpayer. They should study the
amendment carefully and be pre-
pared to vote intelligently upon the
subject. The present system is
faulty. 1t is very intrequent that
a com missioner is elected to succeed
himself An entlre new BOARD IL
usually elected. they are unfa-
miliar with the duties of the office,
and by the time they get posted,
their term is about over. The new
method would provide for one, and
alternately two, hold over members
whose experience and knowledge
of the routine would be valuab Bile.
The only danger is that corrupt
board might get in and four years
of their administration would be a
fright. By increasing the length
of term, however, the office would
become more important and the
pelple would exercise great care in
filling it.

THE Progress will from this issue
on be uncompromisingly Demo-

sudden and followed close upon

"bypaotism" along with him.
Surely the Democracy have many

Democracy ever did to cause a

standing. The only matter of

tai in having the Progress started
here, and who have been soliciting
Republican patronage for it and
have used it as their mouthpiece.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ALEXANDRIA, Va, December Z, 1904.
From repeated announcements 1t Is as
sured that this district of the state will
furnish two candidates for places on the
democratic ticket in the contest for state
offices next year. Several times Mr.. James
R. Cation of this city has stated that he is
in the race for lieutenant governor to stay.
Recently statement was published from
Richmond to the effect that Lieut. Gov.
Joseph e. Willard of Fairfax county,
whose candidacy for the soyernorship had
been announced, would retire, In order that
his claim might not conflict with that Of
Mr.. Cation, by reason OF the fact that they
are both from the same 1ist1aft. The re-
port, however, was not wSaely& credited In
this city, where the friends of the neuten-
ant governor had already commenced TO
support his candidacy. and his declaration
made In Richmond last evening to the Ell
feet that he had not the. remotest idea OF
retiring Is received with Nd surprise here.
It is generally accepted that serious con-
f1ict In the interests of Col. Willard ana
Mr.. Cation arises from the fact that they
reside In adjoining counties of the same
district. Other things not being consider
ed 1t is said that such condition would
doubtless result In the defeat of one candi-
date.
