BAD DAY FOR
TAX PAYERS.
No Warning Notice to Peo-
pie in Regard to
Penalty
CAUSES HEAVY LOSS.
Large Amount Paid in Yes
terday and Day Be-
fore

The last Day of November. APP
pointed for Thanksgiving, will be a
bad one for many who forgot to call
and pay their county and state taxes
yesterday. Today is a legal holiday
and the sheriff will not, as he insinu-
ated yesterday to Kentuckian man,
keep his Office open for the transac-
ton of business. The failure to do
this will cost a great sum to many, a
number of whom are not able to
bear it. So far as our observation
goes, the sheriff has not published
the usual call for payment of taxes
before the 6 per cent. penalty will
be added Itmay have been pub
lished in the Republican organ,
though we are not aware of it.
Of course the greater the number
of people who fail to pay within the
time limited by law. the more money
it is for those who have the benefit
of the penalty. Sheriff Davis stated
yesterday that he would close his
Office that day "about 6 o'clock"
We are not offering suggestions to
our retiring sheriff. He understands
his business, but it seems to us that,
by the last day being a legal holiday
and a clear loss of one day for tax
payers to save their penalty, it would
be a mere act Of generosity for some
one to remain in the office and re-
ceive taxes today, to say nothing of
closing his office at o'clock yester-
day.
Well, we are to have Democratic
sheriff the coming four years, and if
Dave Smith doesn't prove a good
friend to tax payers and everybody
else, we are much mistaken in our
man.
With one to turn to the list, an
other to write receipts and a third
to take in the money, every one who
called to pay taxes yesterday was
waited on and a large sum was
passed into the sheriff's hands.

A GREAT SCHEME.

The Advertiser had something to say about the several ways predicted for the winding up of the human family Among them are freezing to death and dying from a lack of water. We were not at the time aware that a modern genius had a remedy at han1, but 1t Is SO. and this Is 1t: The world is stead fly cooling down. Already It's polar regions are frozen; and sooner or later the time must come when the whole great globe will be locked in ice. How then. is life of any kind to continuei Alcohol congeals at a much lower tenn perature than water. aRd if alcohol could be substituted for the water which constitutes by far the greatest portion of living matter, 1t might be possible to prolong the existence of life for a few hundred thousand years after the Gulf Stream has become a glacier. The human craving for alcohol there fore may be an anticipatory expression of the physiological requirements of an ice-l ound age.
 That comes Of knowing things. While we admit that his theory is a little cloudy, perhaps that is because we are cbtuse. We are not sure whether drinking alcohol. or alcoholic prepara- tions is to eventually heat up human Ity to such a point that there will be no freezing, or whether it will do away with all desire to drink water. Even then, as The New York Mail points out. what is poor humanity to do for food? It is rot to be supposed that man will so change his nature that he can live entirely on drink, and unless he can feed animals. plants and all other food products on the heat pro ducer 1t seems to us that he will die of starvation in spite of alcohol. But it is a great idea nevertheless.

STEEL RAILROAD TIES.

The Iron Trade Review, discussing the revival of interest in the proposi- ton to substitute steel ties for wood on our railroads. estimates that sixty million tons of steel ties would be needed to equip the present steam roads of the United States What The Review does not dwell on, however. is the enormous profits the great steel trusts of the country would gather to themselves under the present tariff protected prices. Thanks to that pro- hibitive tariff the manufacturers of rails now obtain $2s per ton for steel rails. and we suppose they would charge at least as much for ties. Fully 50 per cent. of this price Is clear graft, to put 1t plainly. It has been conclusively shown that steel rails can be manufactured at a profit in the United States and sold at SIS ton. so the tariff enables the manufacturers to add fully 50 per cent to what would be fair price for their products.
 Now, suppose 1t should be decided to equip all the roads in the United States with steel ties. and that the price should be the same that is now charged Tor rails. 1t is easy to calcu- late cost and profits. Allowing the manufacturers a fsir price the entire cost of such ties would be slightly over one billion dollars, but the manu- lecturers would sell them for more than a billion and a half, thus realiz- ing a clear profit of over five hundred million dollars over and above what Is a fair price for them.
 And yet, even at this, allowing the present tariff prices to control the en- tire business. such ties. if they can be used satisfactorily. would be cheaper than wood. According to the figures in The Review the steel ties would cost about two dollars each. In some sections of the country wood ties are already costing nearly one dollar each and at the present rates of consump- tion of the available supply of timber 1t will not be many years before they will be worth enc dollar anywhere.
 Thus while the first cost of steel would be more than double that of wood it should be borne in mind that the latter must be renewed every few estimated at an average of twenty-five

But we disbelieve that MT; Powell has been shot at as to reduce nim to the verge of nervous prostration. in his capacity of represen- tative of the United States.

Certainly Haiti can have no personal objection to him. And the Caucasians of South Carolina would be too delighted to be rid of Crum to in- ouire too curiously into the motives of his vacation. Doubtless a place can be found for Powell. But the great point is that an sopening has been made for Crum. and also for the President.

MINERS, CONVENTION.
Delegates Will Gather at shnmokin,
 Pa. December IA.


 Shamokin. Pa., Sept. 1S.-President John Mitchell of the United Mine Work CTS of America announced today that the convention of mine workers of the three anthracite districts. at which de- mands will be formulated to be pre- scented to the anthracite companies next spring will be held here on December 14. The mine workers of the three dis tricts will shortly elect delegates to represent them at the meeting. The decision to hold convention to formu- late demands similar to the action taken before the great strike of 1902. when a convention was held here to draw up demands. The award of the anthracite coal strike commission will expire March 31 next year.
 President Mitchell has been in the anthracite region for the last two months. holding meetings every day for the purpose of strengthening the union. After the 1902 strike, there Was a con- siderable falling off in its members. As a result of the campaign. the miners leader Is waging many of those who dropped out are returning.
 Among the demands that the conven- ton will probably formulate are an eight-hour workday for all classes of mine workers, recognition of the union and a yearly agreement with the coal companies similar to the one existing in some of the bituminous coal fields in the Middle West.

years From this 1t will be seen that the metal would not only be cheapest in the long run in the matter of actual
 cost. but it would also ohviate the
 trouble and expense of renewal, which
 is almost a continuous performance with wooden ties. Added to this, when steel tie becomes broken. or so worn
 as to be useless for its original pur- pose, it could be worked over into other
 forms and The Review thinks its value might not be far from half the original cost.
 We know that many efforts have been made tc successfully use iron or steel ous reasons the experiments have failed. Judging from the general tone of the article in The Review we as- sume that the difficulties have been overcome end that the days of wood ties are nearing the end of their ex- clusiveness.
 And 1t is high time. In all sections of the United States the supply of tim Der for any Jurpose is disappearing with frightful rapidity. The increase in building operations and in all other industries where wood is used is con- tinuous. and tte decrease of wood is more rapid. As iron and steel are taking the place of wood in many ways they must eventually take its place for ties, otherwise railroad building must cease. or they must invent some method of construction by which ties can be dispensed with. The general substitu- ton of steel for wood on railroads will save many millions of feet of the lat ter every year, and we feel hopeful that 1t will prove 8 success, even if it does fill some pockets with ni-gotten gains.
