will be Waged during the remaining
| two years Of his term. Including po-
of 10000 ofticeholders in Philadelphia
| and practically all Of them are at the
mercy of the mayor The "organiza-
ton leaders, headed by State Insur-
ance Commissioner Durham, expect
| that no mercy will be shown and that
every supporter Of the organization
will be removed from Office. No an
nouncement has been made of the sue.
| cessors Of Costello and Smythe.
The mayors first move will un.
dOubtedly be to remove from Office all
| OF the forty-three ward leaders who
continue their fealty to Mr. Durham.
His first move in this direction was to
suspend on Saturday last Oscar Noll,
Republican leader of the Thirty-sev-
enth ward and an assistant highway
commissioner. Tuesday he directed
the suspension of A. r. Fl. Morrow,
assistant director of the department
of supplies.
Gas Works Lease Cause of Fight.
The present fight grew out of the
determination of the Organization
leaders to raise s25,O0O,oOO for public
expenses by leasing the city gas works
to the United Gas Improvement COM
pany for seventy-fve years. The
mayor was utterly ignored in the trans
action and he has been urged by the
newspapers and reform organizations
to veto the ordinance of the council
putting the deal into effect This he
has insisted he will do and the lead
ers have declared they will pass it
over his veto. They can easily do this,
as they control practically both
branches, only thirteen votes being
cast against the lease in total mem
bership of 1862.
The mayor has been in constant
communication during the day with
men who have for years been stran-
gers in the city hall Those who have
been relegated to the rear by the COR
ganization" are ftocking to his stand
ard and on every side predictions are
heard of fierce political contest, with
the mayor as the leader Of the reform
organization. The leaders of the Re-
publican organization are defiant in
their expressions against the mayor
and his friends and express themselves
as perfectly willing to meet them in
battle at the polls.

For several days the ground has
been settling and timbers creaking
Finally with mighty crash the earth
caved, carrying with it the new shaft,
levels, drifts and slopes. Through fs-

sulphur smoke from that part of the
mine which has been on fire for sew

& If the damage is as bad as feared
the great property will be closed and

sunAower Philosophy.

Atchison, Kan. Globe: No one owe.
years of age looks good when throw
ing kiss.
When it comes to buying Christmas
presents it is cheaper to buy for u wife
than a sweetheart.
You are not going the limit unless
you have wreath of holly hung up
in every window in the house.
There are twelve months in the year;
how do you treat your Santa Claus the
remaining eleven?
You have not been taken into the
average persons confidence until he
has abused his kin to you.
A mother will feel worse because
she cart afford to buy a certain toy
for her child than the child will feel
If he gets no toys at all.
Being a Christian Scientist upsets
another beautiful theory: A wife cana
soothe her husbands fevered brow,
since there isn't such thing.
We know a Joke on a man. He loves
his wife so devotedly that he is always
hanging around her, and she has not
had an opportunity to order his Christ
mas present. That's what man gets
for loving his wife.
After all, it's pretty sight to see
woman on the streets during the
Christmas rush, followed by lot OF
we'll behaved children. When children
think their mother is the greatest and
smartest woman in the world she usu-
ally is,

saneho Panza's Philosophy.

London Chronicles: Inc enormous
number Of proverbial sayings in
"Quixote" had much to do with the
success Of the book. especially in Eng
land and France, at time when the
apothegm and maxim We're a favorite
literary form: and, quite apart from
the inexhaustible fund of humorous ac-
ton contained in the work, Sancho's
sententious dicta made the novel as a
collection of proverbs alone worth pres
ervatiOn.
AS in the case of so many of Shake
speare's apothegms hundreds of Sancho
Panza's sayings have become SO much
part of our common speech as to
sound almost trite when we stumble
across them on the printed page. Dill
igence Is the mother of success" seems
obvious enough, but the man who first
enshrined it in speech was a genius
He whom God helps is better off than
the man who gets up early" is a bit of
worldly experience that comes home
even now to many doubter as to
whether we ''get our deserts" while
Cromwells Trust God and keep your
powder dry" was anticipated by San
chos Pray to God. but hammer
away" Another shrewd piece of OBJ
servation from the same source might
save many tradesman from loss to
this day: re who does not mean to
pay does not haggle about price" and
the homely scrap of philosophy in which
Sancho warns the world against
stretching out the leg further than the
sheet that covers it is as necessary and
pertinent now as 1t ever was.

Railway Mileaae and WAGES.

Engineering Magazines: One of tho
most important results of the physical
Improvement in track and equipment
has been the reduction in the relative
cost of human labor necessary for the
operation of trains. Reliable statis-
tics upon this point do not extend back
very far into the past. but their lesson
Is Interesting. In 1892 the wages paid
in the United States to conductors,
enginemen, iremen and trainmen,
amounted (roughly estimated) to about
s128,000,000. The freight handled that
year was equal to SS.241 100000 tons
carried one mile. and the passengers
equal to 1868, 100000 carried one mile,
II we consider passenger as equiva-
lent to ton of weight, the total tom
mileage in that year was o1.604,0o0.-
00O. and the ton-miicage per dollar ex-
pended for wages was 794. In 1903
the sum paid to the same classes of
employees was $207,SlZ,2S1, and the tom
mileage per dollar of wages paid was
334, an increase of over 17L2 per cent,
notwithstanding the fact that the rate
of wages paid had in the meantime
increased fully per cent. This lower
Labor cost has been made possible
largely by greater train capacity, which
In turn has resulted from the improve
ments to which We have referred. In
1876 the average train load of freight
seems not to have exceeded $50 tons.
while in 1858 1t was 3f0 tons. SO that
in that period the average freight train
DAD has been more than doubled.

A Syndicate for Russia.

New York World: M. SuVorin's cynical
suggestion that an American syndicate
be invited to take over the Russian gov
eminent has conspicuous merit. Although
syndicate government has not been all
together satisfactory in the United States,
