DEMOCRATS sPARRING FOR POSI-
TI0N

1t is stated on seemingly good authority
that Democratic senator's have virtually
reached an agreement to abandon opposi-
ton TO the Panama canal treaty if the Re-
publicans will accept certain propositions.
The propositions, which are to be embodied
in a resolution, are, first, that the Pres
ident shall offer his good offices to Colombia
and Panama in arranging a friendly settle
ment of their differences; and, second, that
the President negotiate a treaty by which
an amicable adjustment of the monetary
claims of Colombia against the United
States for the loss of Panama be made 1t
is said Democratic caucus will be called
to the adoption of this plan.
If such a resolution is introduced it should
have a preamble that: whereas, repeated
efforts have been made by the Democrats
to find some reasonable and tenable ground
of opposition to the Panama canal treaty.
without success; and. whereas, they do not
care longer to stultify themselves by
factious and unpatriotic opposition to a
measure which is favored by an overwhem-
ing majority of the American people:
therefore, resolved. that they make virtue
of necessity by withdrawing their opposi-
ton to the treaty and trying to get small
share of credit for its ratification, provided
the Republicans will agree to the follow
ing. ETC.
The suggestion that the President offer
ic off l.,
arranging friendly settlement of their diff
ferences is probably intended to put him sin
hole" and subject him to rebuff, and
the one that he negotiate a treaty for the
settlement of the money claims of Colombia
against the United States for the loss OF
Panama is an insult to him and con-
temptible reflection on the administration
Colombia has monetary claim against
the United States for the loss of Panama
and quasi-admission to that effect would
place the United States in a very bad light
before the world.
The Republicans in the Senate should not
consider any proposition from the Demo-
Gratis that involves concessions. The Demo
Gratis should be required to take the dose
they have mixed. The ratification of the
treaty is assured beyond doubt by the votes
of all the Republicans and a few Southern
senator's. This being the case, the Repub-
licans do not have TO make any concessions
to the senator's who are opposing the
treaty. The latter should be compelled tc
face the music and either vote against
treaty whose ratification the country de-
mands or else back clear down and out
They should not be allowed to share in the
credit of the ratification on any other term.

Can Buy Ore Cheaper.

Mr.. c. T. Fairbairn, superintend-
ent of the mines of the Jones &
Laughlin company, or the Inter
state Mining company, was in town
this week on business matters. He
reports that his mines are idle, his
company being able to secure ore
in the open market for less than
they can mine it for, or at least at a
figure that they do not care to COM
pete with, dee,ning it wiser to let
the ore remain in the ground. The
company is large maker of steel,
and should have more mines to
take care of their future. They are
a little lame in this respect. They
also own the Lake Angeline in this
city, a property producing ore of a
high grade. but now operated in a
very quiet manner, about 800 men
being employed. 1t is not likely
that this force will be increased, as
the ore will be drawn upon spar
ingly. Mr.. Fairbairn says business
on the Mesaba is very active just
now, and credita bic shipment will
be made this season.-Iron Ore.

VOLUNTARILY RAISE WAGES.
The Drake & Stratton Company Make
fifteen Cent Raise at the Eayal.

Commencing on October 1st the
employees of the Drake and Stratton
company at the Fayal stripping
will receive SITS per day instead of
$1.6O. to which price they were cut
early in the season.
The company is working on the
same contract upon which they
were engaged year ago, at which
time the wages of common labor
was $500 per day. or better. The
cut of wages, which occurred on
June 1st, resulted in protracted
strike at the Fayal stripping, but
the men were finally persuaded to
accept the cut and return to work.
The company is engaged in three
large stripping contracts on the
range, at the Stevenson, Leonard
and Fayal, and furnish employ
ment to large force at the various
points.
