Philadelphia. The United States
Mint in this city delivered $1,000, 900
in gold double eagles to the Sub
Treasury in this city 1t is said that
within the next three months the
mint will coin $50, 900 in double
eagles. This enormous amount of
gold will be distributed among the
Sub-Treasuries to relieve the money
stringency. The distribution of so
much. gold is but one of the several
important moves that Secretary Cor
telyou is making to provide currency
to meet the enormous needs of the
country.
The local mint is we'll equipped to
contribute its share of the shower of
gold that has begun to fall upon every
part of the United States. Many Of
it's employees are working overtime.
however, it being nightly occurrence
for coin counters, weighers, adjusters
and others to work as late as 10
O'Clock, the usual hour for quitting
work being o'clock.
New machinery has recently been
installed in the mint and it's efficiency
was demonstrated in the operation Of
the "split collar" a device for put
ting stars on the edge of the newly
designed double eagles. There are
forty-six stars on the edge of each
piece because of the approaching adj

PASSING ALABAMA r. r. BILLS.
Legislature Shows Itself Ready to
Adopt Governors Measures.

Montgomery, Ala. = The House
passed four of the Governors meas
ures looking toward the regulation
of the railroads, but not until the en-
tire day had been taken up in argu-
ments.
The Sens Q had the same bills up,
but adjourned while the House argu-
ments were going on.
The maximum rate bill which has
been enjoined by the Federal Court
was repealed. The bill fixing the pen
alties for not putting into effect the
railroad laws was passed, as was the
one relieving the Acknowledgement
and Railroad Commissioners from
bringing suit, the idea being that this
prevents them from being sued.
There are eight bills fixing the
rates on 10 commodities which are
yet to come up. The objects of the
measures are to compel the railroads
to put the rates in effect without a
suit, the penalties being heavy for
violations.

Everything has two handles; one
by which it may be borne, another by
which it can not If your brother
acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the
affair by the handle of his injustice,
for by that it can not be borne; but
rather by the opposite, that he is

hold on it as it is to be borne.

WAGE RAISING TIME PAST.
Railroads More Likely to Make Some
Cuts and Reduce Forces.

Chicago the face of an an
nouncement that the railroads are
more disposed to reduce forces than
to raise wages, committee repre-
senting $4,000 organized switchmen
and switch tenders from Buffalo to
the Pacific Coast entered into a con-
ference with railway managers in an
effort to force the companies to raise
wages six cents an hour and grant an
eight-hour day.
There is not the slightest POSSIBLE
ity that railroads will raise wages at
this time" said Slason Thompson for
the roads. "There is more chance
that they cut wages or curtail ex-
penditures by reducing forces"
All railroads. it is said. have agreed
ON policy that promises no prospect
for better things for workingmen.

THE ONLY FEAR.

Have you something Of moment planned
OF work, or barter, or sale?
And do you now, like craven, stand
Deferred by the fear you'll fail?
Then may this message of mine ring clear
And prompt you your wings to test:
The only failure man should fear
Is failure to do his best!

Foraker DefieS President
In Sensational Speech
Foraker's HeaBiest Cans.

That the President of the
United States should become per-
sonally engaged in a political
contest to determine his sue
cessor is without precedent, IN
less it be the bad precedent set
by Andrew jackson as to Martin
Van Buren,,
The time has not yet come. and
nobody knows that better than
the President himself, when dead
lines" can be drawn in debate for
anybody to observe; nor has the
time come when any real man
would respect them if they were
drawn.
Until it was given out in Wash
ington a few days ago, I never
heard tell of any combination. or
trust, or conspiracy to oppose the
President in anything.
What is the Office of a Senator?
Is ne a mere agent to register
the win Of somebody else, or is
he supposed to have opinions of
his own?
I deny the rigk- of anybody,
except my constituents, to call
me 20 account. I have never
held any Office except by election.

providing such a system, and that IN
stead OF talking about the obliteratlon

their proper rights ana functions. just
as we have always been jealous 10 pro-
tect the Federal Government in the eX-
ercise of all the powers delegated 10 Il,
either expressly or by implication.
Il believe also that our fathers were
wise when they created three depart
ments Of government and made them
separate, independent and coordinate
and that the rights Of each should be
jealousy protected against infringe
ment by either of the others.
IN truth, this provision is the crown
Ing glory of our whole scheme OF gov
ernment.
We have every reason TO be proud Of
the Constitution that George Washing
ton and his associates made, as II has
been perfected by Abraham Lincoln and
the heroic men OF his day and gener-
alton
For more than a hundred years il
has stood the test of every emergency
