Orvine H Plstt and Joe Hswey. or Connecticut;
Adrich, Of Rhode Island. and the array OF mag
nifcent men from the West and from the South
who sit in the Senate. il causes a feeling Of great
satisfaction that New York now has the oppo--
tunity to send a man 20 Washirs ton who can az

NOT DELIVERABLE.

One of the most significant and gratifying
features of the Republican victory on Tuesday
is the demonstration that there are no groups
of American voters that can be traded in and
delivered wholesale. The most discredIted poll

last four years under fraudulent pretences. BE

and when the Republican National Convention
turned him and his proposals down he was re-
ceived with open arms by the Democratic man
ayers. They let him dictate the language OF
their labor Injunction resolutions and sWal-,
lowed hook and snker his promise 10 throw

AMERICAN MINERAL RESOURCES

A steady growth iii the mineral industries
of the country is exhibited in report for the
calendar year 1907. just issued bS the tnited
States Geological Survey. For the first time
total production valued at more than s2oOo,-
100000 was recorded last year Though the
business depression felt twelve months ago
limited the output in q few instances IN the
great majority there was an increase ranging
from ; TO 40 per cent BY far the largest CON
tributions TO the mineral wealth of the year
were made by coal and iron. which together
represented considerably more than half of the
total In both of these the United States now
loads all other countries. Last year the value
of the coal mined showed a gain of about lo
her cent on 1906. The increase III iron was
somewhat less.

the tables here cited the share which Minnesota
and Michigan have in the iron industry does
not appear Credit is given only to the states
in which most of the blast furnaces are. Penn

Alabama compete for the fourth place On the
same principle the tahulatiOn ignores coke,
Though from the text of the report it is learned
that fully one-tenth of the bituminous coal
mined is converted into that commodity.
California apparently leads the procession IN
the production of petroleum at the present time,
an amount only slightly exceeding her output
having been supplied in 1907 by Oklahoma and
Indian Territory combined. The largest guam
