The whole experiment has been

TAMMANY ENDORSED HEARST?
Significant Uerance the Tammany Times Official Organ til
Wigwam, Is Attracting Widespread Attention Among
Democrats Throughout the Country.

democracy, has declared for him;
United States Senator McLaurin of
Mississippi has declared for him and
Senator McLaurin with Senator Mon
ey and Governor Vardaman control
Mississippi two-thirds of the local
democratic party of Chicago has joiDed
the Hearst club Of that city. Through.
out Illinois and Indiana and Ohio and
Wisconsin the enthusiasm for Hearst
increases daily. In Pennsylvania the
first ante-convention action occurred
in the sixteenth ward of Reading,
where President Baer of the coal trust
lives, and there the party instructed
for Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst's friends declare that he
is the logical candidate. He is forty
one years old-young enough to be
the idol Of the young men. He is q
man Of great business capacity, of I'M
blemished integrity, of great execu-
tive ability. He is respected and es-
teemed by the honest business men OF
the country. He is Jeffersonian
democrat, and believes Jefferson's doc.
trine If applied to modern problems
will solve them. He supported CleYe-
land three times with voice and pen
and money. He supported Bryan
twice and brought all the influence of
his mighty instrumentalities in favor
of the democratic cause when traitors
had deserted the party and it stood in
sore need of valiant championship.
1t is the contention of Mr.. Hearst's
friends, and they think it is the clinch-
ing argument in his favor, that he
cannot only carry New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and the SOUTH but
in addition he is the only one among
all those mentioned who can get the
necessary votes in the west. They
say he can carry California, Idaho,
Nevada, South Dakota and Colorado
surely, and probably Illinois, because
of the great lsboring vote in that
state.

Has Tammany Hall, the democratic
organization of New York city, and
now the dominant power of the demo.
cratic party of New York state, declar-
ed for William Randolph Hearst for
president?
A highly significant declaration has
been made by the TsmmanY Times,
the official organ of Tammany Hall,
which is under the direct influence Of
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, Leader
Charles F. Murphy and the Tammany
organization.
In a recent issue the TGmmany
Times publishes an important and
interesting article headed, "W. r.
Hearst for President" and also an ed
itorial in which it is declared that sit
is the opinion of many of those best
posted in matters political that when
the proper time comes in response to
this general demand from all parts OF
the United States and as a result OF
the requests from organized labor ev-
erywhere the New York delegation
will be in line for this great champion
of the rights of the people,"
Following is an interesting extract
from the article in the Times:
Here are some facts: Four hundred
and fifty newspapers of the country
have editoriallY declared for him; 200
Hearst clubs have been organized
without inspiration or suggestion from
Hearst or his immediate lieutenahts.

WHAT BECOMES OF PENNIES
IL, 900, 900 of the Little Pieces of
Money Issued Last Year.

Twelve million copper cents were
issued In 1903 through the ST. Louis
branch of the United States treasury.
Only 1900 were returned.
The record was not unusual. Less
than one penny in thousand finds It's
way back to the treasury to be ex-
changed for a newer one.
Dimes, quarters, halves and even
nickles come back In large quantities,
but the copper cents for the most part
go astraY.
What becomes of them? Treasury
officials cannot tell.
The most PLAUSIBLE theory is that
the pennies are simply lost.
Americans are such wealthy people
that they have not time to keep track
OF the pennies, and they find their
way into the ash-heaps, and into the
sewers, and thence to the great rivers
and even the sea.
In China or India it would be differ
ent. There the equivalent of our cop
per cent buys meal. A man in those
countries with a sackful OF pennies
would be counted rich.

A MOVING MOUNTAIN. Fl
1t Has Cost a Million Dollars to
Find 1t Out.

A dispatch from Los Angeles, CAL,
says: California has a creeping mount
ain, and it has cost something like 3D.
600, 900 to find it out. Santa susanna
mountain has been tunneled by the
Southern Pacific railway for a cutoff
line between this city and San Fran
cisco, and traffic was expected to open
January l, but the opening is indef-
nitely postponed. AS track LAYING
was about to begin it was discovered
that the tunnel sides were bullying.
Heavy braces and cement were tried,
but were forced asunder by the creep
ing monster. a portion of the mount
ain is composed of shale, and it is this
that is making trouble. Careful o.
seryation shows that this portion is
slowly travelling westward, like q
mighty stone river, moving toward
the Pacific. The strata dips ocean
ward, and the movem ent is undOubted-
Iy what is known as "slide," caused
by displacement somewhere in the
depths of the earth.

COTTON BRINGS THE GOLD.
WALL STREET JOURNAL TALKS OF
THE S0UTH'S GREAT PRODUCT.
This Crop of Cotton Worth More Than the
Gold Production of the Country for
the Past Ten Years.

At the prevailing high price of cot
ton the entire cotton crop of the south
would be worth upwards of $3.50 ,000,-
900, which is more than the production
of gold in the United States in the
past ten years, says the Wall Street
Journal. Even at ten cents a pound the
value of the total crop would be $780,
100000 or equal to the production Of
gold since 1897. This fact brings out
very clearly the enormous value of the
cotton crop of this country, especially
as so large portion of it is exported,
thus creating balance of trade in
our favor. Every ten points of cotton
is equal to dollar of gold, or, as
matter of fact, as the exporting of cot.
might be said in one sense that the
planters of the south were not merely
growing cotton, but mining gold. A
CERTAIN proportion OF the high price
for cotton will go to the planters, aud
there is no doubt that it is best for the
country that the agriculturists should
get larger proportion of the market
value of their product.
Mr.. Sims, in his recent speech in
congress, claimed that the last cotton
report of the government, which esti-
mated a low WELD OF the crop, and
thus advanced the price, has saved for
the farmers of the south many mil
lions OF dollars. He declares that US
ually the price of cotton is kept down
during the harvesting and ginning
season until the European ard domes-
tic spinners purchase their supplies,
after which spectators take hold of the
remnant, run the prices up and make
fortunes for themselves. But, thanks
to the agricultural department, the
farmers of the south this year are get
ting the benefit of the information as
to the actual size of the crop.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
Has the Best Time of Any Race

Since Poor Lo has stopped facing
the setting sun and delivering fourth
reader orations he has managed to
pick up considerable portion OF this
worlds goods, says the Winchester
Telegram. There are about 238,OOO
Poor Los, and they cost the govern
ment 100000 every year, and OF this
100000 goes for education. Still
the Indian does not improve much.
Sometimes he becomes ball player
or football player, and on one occs-
sion, to the sorrow of his manager, he
became a singer in opera.
The Indians are well cared for
They have free education and good
income from the United States. This
is increased by & little work-not too
much work, for the Indian does not
believe in labor All told, he has
about the best time of any man or race
of men on the globe.
