 MT. Smith. President of the Railroad Commission. on his return from vis- 1t of ten days to St. Louis said, T find on my desk some letters mak- ing application for the position of Clerk of the Commission. It is prop CT to say that no vacancy exists in this office, and none will exist so far as I am informed. MT. Griffin was granted leave of absence until Septem- Der 1st. at which time he Is expected to return from Panama. I make this statement in order that 1t may be known that it is useless to make any application for this position. and thus save expense and trouble to appli- cants.
 MT. Griffin writes that he and Judge Kyle are at Christobal, Canal Zone, Isthmus of Panama, and that they are occupying a house situated in the mide of a beautiful cocoaanut grove, that the house is fitted up with electric lights and modern baths. screened all over. and that he has not seen a mos quito in the house since his arrival That the social conditions are not very good at present, but the ocean breezes make the climate very agreeable.

that there was no ordinance in the City Code punishing the offense charged against the defendant It developed that the City Council had failed to pass an ordinance putting the dispen- sary bill into effect. depending upon the general law to enforce the provis- ions. Judge Partridge sustained the demurrer and the defendant was dis charged. The city of Uniontown took an appeal to the Supreme Court. So far DO attack has been made on the of the dispensary bill. The bill was drawn by Hon. H. s. D. Mallory and have been informed that he states that he is willing to stake his reputation that the law is consti- tutional and will hold. There Is bit- ter fight being made and no one knows how it will end.
 They are having an extremely bitter fight over the dispensary in Faunsdale. One party was convicted in 12S cases and his bond fixed at $l2,800. l have been informed that he will go to jail and sue out writ of habeas corpus.

MORE MEN EMPLOYED
OPERATORS MAKE GAINS IN MIN-
 ERS' STRIKE.
Union Men arc StnndinE. Firm, and Outsfders are Being Employed- Engineers, Firemen and
 Pumpers Ordered Out.

Birmingham. Aug. 20.-(Special.)- Another week has been rounded out in
 the struggle between the furnace operators and the United Mine Work CTS of America and to all outward ap- pearance the operators have made substantial gains. Increased num- bers of men are being put to work and while the union miners as a rule are standing firm, the operators seem to be getting men from some source.
 The miners played an important card today when they issued an order call ing Nut all engineers, pumpers. fire- men, etc., from the mines, but the operators seem not to be alarmed. In all cases where a strike arises the en- gineers. firemen, bumpers, etc. are left In the mines with a view to preventing the property from suffering and they are only called out when all hope of a peaceful adjustment is reached. The fact that this step has been taken shows that the miners have decided that it is in fact fight to the finish. President Maben, of the Sloss-Shef- field Company in discussing this latest development. said that 1t had been an- ticipated by the operators and that they were prepared to put others to work at once. In fact he said. his com pany had more men for this class of work than was required and that other companies could be furnished with them.
 The operators claim with great con- fidence that they are master of the situation. but the miners are full of confident expressions, also, and are evidently still hopeful of bringing the operators to terms.
 General business conditions in Bir- mingham are unusually good despite the strike. and business men as a rule are expecting very busy and pros porous fall season. This Is inspired by the fact that the industries through out the district are very busy as rule. many of them running day and night. and paying out huge sums monthly or semi-weekly in wages to skilled operators. Building opera tions are also very active. hundreds of fine residences being under way, and score or more business structures in course of erection. The county is in- stalling a half million dollar sewerage system and the city is spending many thousands in street Improvements, in addition to the large sums which are going into Improvements of private nature.

 Peruna cures catarrh wherever seated. Not having any stimulating effect, but containing nourishment with every drop, peruna cannot help but cure.
 Single women all over the United States and women who are made happy mothers add their testimony to the thousands that come in every day.

 Peruna does not claim to cure every i'll under the sun, but over forty years

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Are They ,Posted7

To the Editor Of The journal. n Il.
IL notice that the Pioneer Press keeps
singing the same old song toFthe same old
time for Senator GIapp that it sang for.
Candidate Dunn before election-that he
was regularly nominated "-by two con-
ventions, and now ought to be elected-as
the choice of the people 81
remember that quite number of gem
tlemen from the country came to st. Paul
and interviewed themselves to the Pioneer
Press before the late election and said:
my county will givesa large majority for
Dunn for governor because the people
have confidence in him. etc. find that
the returns show that the gentlemen were
badly mistaken as to the majority, for
the voters gave it to the other man. And
as Senator Clapp was soanersistent in his
many speeches over the state before cleo
ton, trying to force tho voters into line
for Dunn against their wishes, intelli-
fgence and information. they got Disguised
with him and Yexed at him for presuming
they could be fooled, and concluded tina.
there are other men In the state besides
Clapp who would advocate their interests
as a senator at home, and also at Wash
ington, D. C. 5 s..xg
I notice in he7Pioneer Press that there
are few Of the members of our next leg
islature who came to St. Paul to be inter-
viewed and say: "AH my constituents
want Senator Clapp 'elected for another
term for the reason that he has been in
dorsed by the state convention"
Is it not possible and quite probable that
these members are as much mistaken as
the country gentlemen who prophesied SC
much before election, and had it all
wrong? Perhaps These members have not
been shaking hands much with their con
stituents since election SO as to know who
they want for senator. A Voter.

uals, and without proper thought Of the
public interest. The individual solic-
its the favor, the public is not heard
and makes no protest.
Unfortunately these concessions are
not rare and are not confined to viola
tions Of the building ordinances. This
policy Of neglect of official responsible
ity is illustrated in the treatment of
violators of the license laws, and in
failure to provide protection for life
and property in other ways. Attention
has been called to this by the recent
grade crossing fatality. Some years
ago we had considerable sentiment de-
veloped in this city to abolish all grade
crossings, and a good many were abol,
ished. More recently interest has lapsed
and official vigilance has relaxed until
we have begun. to pay the penalty by
serious casualties.
Now there is new demand for the
abolition of all. grade crossings, and an
ordinance which has been reposing in
the hands of member Of the council
for months, without consideration an(
for which there has been no general de
mand, the press as we'll as the public
being censurable for complacency II
existing conditions, will be dug up, ane
there is promise of a vigorous ane
persistent and successful movement to
ward the abolition Of all grade cross
ings within reasonable period.
It often takes some startling and OK
u a
date. to create public sentiment ant
produce official action, but we have rea
son to hope that such condition hai
been arrived at in this community a
this time.

A New Era.

:, Out on Puget sound all interest: now
centers in the great steamship, Mime
sofa, which is to sail from Seattle on her
first voyage across the Pacific Jan. 81.
While it is natural that greater interest
should be taken in this initial voyage
on the north Pacific coast, than here in
the middle of the continent, it is well
for us to try to realize that the event
will be one of far more than local i'm
portance. Z :.,s.. ~:,s. =. -,
= The Minnesota will not only. be the
greatest steamship flying the American
flag on the Pacific, but the greatest I'M
der any flag. It is sign Of the coming
ascendancy Of the United States in the
Pacific that the Minnesota wrests the
"largest" distinction from vessels al
ready carrying the American flag, such
as the Mongolia Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, which is at least
twice as large as any foreign ship in
the Pacific trade. 49," -. "
AS yet our Pacifc-borne trade is
small, being less than 10 per cent OF
our whole foreign commerce, but it is
rapidly expanding trade. The Mime
sofa is merely one Of the pioneers OF
great fleet of big steamships that will
uphold the commercial supremacy OF
the United States on the largest OF
oceans. 80 '>..>
The Atlantic trade will continue tt
grow, but the Pacific: trade is the IN
developed trade, the commerce in which
there is the greatest room for expan

of the. world where there. is immqens'
room for growth. On the Atlantic, j
is more difficult p. foy the newcome
among the trading nations to get ahead
than on the Pacific, where each ,ney
trader can make his trade.
The west has always stood for oppor
tunity to the. people Of the Unite
States. Having in a general and super
