There is a geological quarrel on
hand; a battle Of the stones, between
sandstone and granite, and it is to be
referred to the President. Secretary
Shaw wants the United States public
building at Cleveland, Ohio, built of
sandstone, and some Of the people of
that city wish to have it constructed
of granite. The President has been
urged by Senator Dick and Others, to
overrule Secretary Shaw's decision.
Undoubtedly granite is the better
stone for the climate of the lake side.
AS all the new public buildings Of
Cleveland are to be grouped around a
spacious park they should harmonic
in material, quality and color Of the
stone, as well as in architecture.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in this city, has issued a formal
order for an Investigation regarding
the differential freight rates between
the West and the Atlantic sea board
on produce intended for export. There
is bitter complaint in New York city
that that commercial center is not
treated on the same footing with other
cities, especially Baltimore. 1t is
claimed by the railroads that the
differential system was inaugurated 10

twenty years ago the railway COM

Republioan National ohairmanship

Republican National Craftsmanship
The selection Of Secretary Cortelyou
for chairman of the Republican Ma
tionaI Committee is looked upon with
more and more favor. While it was
irst remarked that Mr.. Cortelyou
perhaps lacked experience as prac-
tical politician, it is now recalled that
he has risen to every occasion and
emergency with which he has been
confronted and has in everything he
has undertaken, made a success. 1t
is also remarked that he is an excel
lent judge Of men, is a natural diplo-
mat among men and that he is an
excellent judge Of men, is a natural
diplomat among men and that he
carries the good will and friendship
Of everyone with whom he has been
associated. 1t is believed that Mr..
Cortelyou will not be found lacking
in "practicar' qualities. Moreover
he is close personal friend of the
president and his selection indicates
that Mr.. Roosevelt himself intends to
keep his eye on the proceedings.

And now the postoffice inspectors
themselves are to be inspected, and
their methods brought to the light of
publicity. The President has desig-
mated Asst Atty. Gen. Robb to do
this delicate job. It is surmised that
possibly the chief inspector and his
men have made some mistakes. The
President is anxious that no injustice
shall be done to any one; at the same
time he purposes that no guilty man
shall escape. Mr.. Robb is not expect
ed to uneartb any scandals, but possi-
bly, he may discover that there has
been an exercise Of bad Judgment.

LEAD WORLD IN IRON GRE.
United States Has Surpassed All
Competitors In Its Yearly Output
For 1908.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The re
port of John Birkinbine to the Geo
logical Survey on the production OF
iron ores in 1903 shows that the Uni
ted States has surpassed all coElpetl-
tors in its yearly output of iron ores.
The quantity of iron ore produced in
the United States in the year ended
December 81, 1908, was 35,O19,30S
long tons, decrease of ,S27 long
tons from 1902.
The quantity mined in 1908 is, how
ever, the second largest recorded,
and is greater than the combined to-
tails for the year 1902 of Germany,
Luxumburg and the British Empire,
which are the nearest competitors
Of the United States.
The iron ore obtained in 1903 came
from twenty-five States and two ter
ritories Minnesota, Michigan Ala
bama and Wisconsin were the leaders
in production. The Lake Superior
district stands pre-eminent as a pro-
Queer Of iron ore. It's annual output
exceeds that of any foreign country,
and the average character of it's ore
is excellent.

Miss Carrie Shore can tell of some
very interesting experiences at Allan
tic City. She thinks it the most won
derfu1 place on earth, and enjoyed
every moment of her stay at this
popular resort. She made her sec
ond visit there this year, and says
that hereafter she means to make an
annual trip SO long as she is able to
live and enjoy life. To listen to her
vivid description of the panorama of
the Youngstown flood is almost as good
as being there, and one cannot but
travel with her when she describes
the different wonders she saw and en-
tered into in her journeys over this
cosmopolitan city. Perhaps what
the most lasting impression upon
Aunt Carries mind and heart was the
human incubator on Young's Pier,
where nine little white babies and one
little colored baby are being nutured
to proper maturity. All this and
much else she can tell and her listen
er's interest will never flag. Every
body loves Aunt Carrie and every
body is glad when she has an extra
good time. May she live to spend
many more happy days in Atlantic
