THE PRESIDENT AND FEDERAL
OFFICEHOLDERs.

1t is announced that President Roosevelt
has made known his wish through the Re
publican national committee that federal
oficeholders shall not go as delegates to
the national convention. His wishes in this
regard have already been communicated to
the party leaders in Texas, where an early
convention will be held, and will doubtless
be communicated to those in other States.
1t is said TO be the Presidents wish that
If he is to be nominated it shall not be by
a convention largely composed of federal
officehoders.
The participation of federal officeholders
in active politics, and especially their at
tendance as delegates at national conven-
tions, has been a source OF more or less
criticism and scandal in past years. The
practice was particularly prevalent in the
South. where the Republican party is nu-
merically weak and where certain class
of leaders have based their claims for office
on conspicuous party service. In 1877 Presi-
dent Hayes issued an executive order that
No federal officer should be required or
permitted to take part in the management
OF pOllllCdl CduCuScSs NOlANtil-
tions or election campaigns" This order
observed for awhile, gradually lost it's
force
In July. 1856, President Cleveland directed
a circular letter TO the heads of depart
ments warning them and their subordinates
against using their political positions in
attempts to control political movements in
their localities" The letter contained the
following sentence: ''Oficeholders are
neither DISTINGUISHED nor forbidden the ex-
ercise of political privileges; but their priv
ileges are not enlarged, nor is their duty 10
party increased 10 pernicious activity by
officeholding." This letter was construed
as discouraging the attendance of federal
officeholders as delegates TO political con-
ventions. but the order soon passed into
"innocuous desuetude"-to use another
phrase OF Mr. Clevelands.
President Roosevelt's express wish that
federal officeholders shall not attend the
national convention will. OF course, be re-
garded by them as equivalent TO an execu-
tive order. 1t is in accordance with all of
his professions and acts regarding civil
service reform and is characteristic in It's
| frankness, and independence. II is tanta-

Carbon Basis of Products

Carbon is the basis Of all organic products,
and a striking discovery of Julius Walther. q
St Petersburg chemist, is that this element may
be made to enter into various combinations with
oxygen and hydrogen by simple electrolysis OF
water charged with carbonic acid gas, the re-
suits being several sugars and vegetable acids
from one form of simple apparatus The water
charged with the gas evolved on pouring hy
drochloric acid on marble. The anodes Of the
electric apparatus were brushes Of platinum and
the catholics were preferably Of clay Of silicates
of aluminium with large surface. The solutions
about the anode and cathode were inclosed in
separate clay receptacles. that OF the anode be-
ing kept degrees 6 warmer than the other by
a lamp. The current was gradually increased
both in power and in intensity. and at two
volts and 90 ampere oxolic acid appeared. being
followed by tartaric acid and by citric
acid at four volts and 225 amperes Fruit sugar
was produced at five volts and three amperes,
then grape sugar. The richness of the products
in carbon seems TO increase with increase in cur-
rent and intensity.-LOndon Mail

THE MINERS CONVENTION.

The annual convention of United Mine
Workers of America, which began in this
city yesterday, has come TO be regarded
almost as a regular local event. This is
the fifth consecutive year that the con-
ventionl has met in indianapolis. and as
many OF the delegates have attended every
convention they are we'll enough acquainted
with the city 10 feel at home here. That
they appreciate it's convention facilities is
shown by their holding their meetings here
year after year.
The organization is said to be the most
numerous and powerful single trades union
in the world, its membership being nearly
$4,000 active miners, and its bank account
showing a balance on the right side of more
than 100000 and steadily increasing. The
last annual convention began in this city
on Jan. is. 1903. The treasurers report SUBJ
mitted at that meeting showed that the
total receipts of the union during the year
1902 were $3,G1O,s77, and the total expendi-
lures $685. 500. During the year the union
contributed to it's defense fund 81, GAS, 1924. in

strikers in Pennsylvania. When 1t is re-
membered that this organization extends
through several States; that it's district and
local unions are all in touch with one an
other, and all thoroughly disciplined and
under the leadership of one man, John
Mitchell, it's power for combined action be-
comes apparent. 1t has never abused it's
power yet. and it is to be hoped it never
may.
AS evidence of the square dealing OF
the union it may be mentioned that the con-
vention which was held in this city in Feb
ruary, 1902, entered into a contract with the
bituminous operators of Pennsylvania. Ohio.
Indiana and illinois, which fixed a scale of
prices to hold good until April 1, 1903. When
the great anthracite strike occurred the
ers should join in the strike, and they de-
cided to stand by their agreements until
the end of the contract year. Had they
joined in the strike its consequences would
public generally than they were. BY re-
fusing TO do so the bituminous miners set
a good example to all unions Of standing
by contracts.
The Journal hopes the present convention
will be able to steer clear of dangerous
propositions that may come before it. espe-
cially the persistent one regarding social
ism, and secure some real advantages for
