troy Idaho Lead Mining.
State Mine Inspector r. N. Bell
has just returned from the east,
says the Boise Statesman. He
went east early in February with a
party Of representative mining
operators from northern Idaho to
give testimony before the finance
committee of the United States
senate regarding the condition of
mine labor and the lead producing
industry of this state, which is
likely to be seriously affected by
the tariff reduction contained in
the Underwood bill, which has al
ready passed the house Of repre-
sentatives.
Questioned on the general senti-
ment in national politics in the
east, especially on the tariff ques-
ton and the Republican presiden-
tial question, Mr.. Bell presents
some interesting personal views.
He said:
81 am a consistent believer in
the Republican tariff idea as affect
ing the standards of American
labor and living, as l passed the
first 16 years of my life in the lead
ing free trade country of the world
and know something from expert
ence OF the grievous struggle for
existence that obtains under the
low wage and low price conditions.
"Idaho is leading producer Of
raw materials, and IT'S citizens
should be rightly interested in the
! maintenance of protective tariff,
i especially as affecting lead, in the
production of which metal we rank
second among the states of the
union, and the depression of this
/ industry, which would result by
any material lowering of the pres
ent market value of the metal,
would have a much more serious
effect than might be generally sup
posed.
Gas matter of fact. the great
output of lead from our mines, if
considered without its associated
Silver values, has been produced
at loss for several years, and
with the advantage of its associated
silver values the average profit
made per ton on the lead silver ore
produced by the mines of this state
on the average barely exceeds So,
and the proper maintenance of the
Industry in Idaho is only made
possible by the large size and
permanent character of our ore
bodies and the efficient skilled
labor employed in handling them.
"The testimony which we were
able to bring out at our hearing
showed that the lead miners ol
Idaho were paid higher wages and
operated under as favorable con
ditions as those of any lead mining
district in the world. We were
also able to show by the testimony
of an eyewitness that Spain and
Mexico can lay down lead in New
York for much less freight cos,
than can Idaho or other far western
mines, and these countries have
vast resources of this class o.
mineral and pay their laborers ar

of $500 per day, which would
mean the shutting down CT tn,
most attractive mining enterprise
that we have in the state and th'
throwing of our American market
open to the competition of th'
cheap peon labor referred to.
"The ruling price OF lead for th'
past two years has been aroun'
the very reasonable figure of 81 t

More Trials fn Come

But the woman asserted itself as sha came to where the other guests were stroliing about and il was with difficulty that she prevented herself from becoming hysterical-but she did.
 As for Slope. he was furious. He never had loved the woman and now he hated her. To his small soul Eleanors blow seemed as great an insult as if man had struck him.
 Eleanor and Mr. Slope were soon mins- ling with the company as if nothrhg had happened-only they avoided each other
 But the widows trials for the day wefs not over. Bertie Stanhope. whom she res garded as a great, overgrown and amuss Ing boy, came to her side and, to calm ths agitation of her mind. she walked apars with him listening to his naive prattie.
 Finally Bertie said: T say, Mrs. Bold. you will not be angry with mo if say something-wll your Something per- sonal2"

A Desperate Battle

He explained to his lordship how much more polite the appointment of Mir. Hard ing would be- said that he found upon consultation with that gentleman that his refusal had not been final, as he supposedi etc
 He skilfully insnuated that the bishop was henpecked and that now. in this mat ter of the appointment to the wardenship, was an opportune time for him to assert himself The bishop longed for freedom and consented
 While they were talking Mrs, Proudie came into the room ta
 Well. bishop" said she, "has that ap- polntment been made yet2"
 Why. my dear, l believe there is a difficulty"
 "A difficulty? MT. Slope, 1 wish to be alone with my lord
 His lordship has summoned me on very important business replied MT. Slope.

Beaten in the First skirmish

Mrs. Proudie stood for an instant as tonished Horrid rebellion had raised It's head Then, without another word. she turned and left the room. Sianih4HS its door behind her.
 Mr Slope had conquered, but his victory was to cost him dear. Mrs. Proudie was too good a general to lose campaign be cause she happened to be beaten in the first skirmish.
 When the time came for the bishop to take his bedroom candle and climb the stairs to his nuptial couch he did so .c- luctantly and with a sigh. The next morn ing he seemed to have gro%n old during the night and announced to Mir Slope fiiat nerhaps the Quiverful appointment had better be made, after all.
 la onspese of the Quiverfu appoint- .raesft once for all. the appointment was made finally-though MT. Slope managsn to oelay it-and pr. Harding assisted Mir. -Quieerful in every way in reconcling the old ''beedesmen" 10 the new ruler Of Hiram's.
 { But Mir Slope did not give tIp his pur- suit of the widow Bod--not by any means -and rumors were soon flying about \ hich everybody but Eleanor heari-that tine chaplain and the widow were soon to be married.

Tired of Her Playthinp

This conduct only confirmed the sus- pielons and fears of her family. In reality Eleanor detested MT. Slope-but she de- elared that she would not be dictated to and would not be suspected and cate thised.
 Meantime the managing Charlotte Of the Stanhope family had concluded that 1t would be a good thing for her brother MT, Bertie Stanhope, to marry Mrs Bold and. ordering him to pay court to the widow, began planning the campaign.
 Bertie had got to marry money or get out of England--his debts demanded that
 So Bertie Stanhope became another suitor of Eleanor's and she no more knew that than she did that MT. Slope was her suitor.
 The infatnatfon of MT. Slope for the signora had now become whispered about Barchester. Ii reached the ears of Mrs Proudie and. somehow, she nanaged to find out how often he visited the stan- hope house, how long he stayed and all such interesting details.
 One day the signora so exerted her fas- cinations upon MT Slope that he fell on his knees before her couch. swore that he loved her. and that he would give up the world for her.
 Then she laughed at him reminded hln that he was already married, turned his soul inside out until he was speechless- and dismissed him. She was heartily tired of her plaything.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-19
A Saint Upon Earth

Now among the clergy who had list ened to the sermon of MT. Slope, was Rev. Dr. Harding, man well along in years, the precentor of the cathedral, the rector of a small. poor parish in town. and, of course, poor himself.
 For though known far and wide for his scholarship, his self-abnegation and his practical Christianity. he had never sought preferment and never accepted 1t when 1t was offered to him in such a way, or when he could not conscientiously do so. or when he felt himself ill-fitted for the position.
 He was q saint upon earth, but saints upon earth seldom acquired riches in those days. which days, it must be re- nembered. were before Senate committees examined into the character of trust mag mates and the qualifications for beautifi- cation of fellow members whose right to their seats had been questioned
 pr. Harding had for many years lived in comfort as warden of Hiram's hospital. an institution established in one of the long -gone-by centuries by a woolcarder of Barchester as an endowment for .12 bearsmen, superanuated wooicarders in poverty.
 The accumulations of the fund had so grown that in the days of pr. Harding there was a large surplus and very con siderable salary was attached, as we'll as a comfortable house, to the position of warden of Hiram's.

A Matter of PrincipaI

But a question being raised as to the expenditure of the income, pr. Harding gave up his positon-greatly to the dis gust of his son-in-law, Archdeacon Grant ly-took the rectorship of small parish church in the city and went to live in lodgings over the apothecary's on sal ary of 200 pounds d year, derived from his rectorship and his precentorship.
 He was widower and could have lived, had he desired, with his daughter, the wife of the archdeacon, at their beautiful estate at Plumstead EpiscQpi-tbe arch deacon was rich-or with his other daugh- ter, the widow of Mir. Bold. formerly a physician of the town, who had left her an income of f1000 year and an infant son born after his fathers death.
 But the good man preferred to live in his humble lodgings. He had hope that he would. some day. be able to return to his old men and the pleasant house at Hirams.

Good Cause for Anger

Eleanor started back from Berte as she had from Slope-but she did not box his ears. Instead after her first start of surprise, she almost laughed,
 And YOU MT. Stanhope: what do you think about it7'
 Well. you see, I don't think I am ths sort of person who would make a very good hushand-but don't give me away to Charlotte will you? In fact. l don't Ike the idea Of paying my debts at such sac rlfice'
 Now Eleanor was angry. The impudent eoxcomb-at such d sacrifice. indeed! She had boxed one mans ears that day and now felt that she would not only like to box Bertie's ears, but to take him across her knee also.
 MT. Stanhope." said she with dignity. pray let us return to the party"
 70, I say, knew you would be angry..s said Bertie. but don't give me away to Charlotte. She had arranged that you and l should go home alone in the carriage. but l think in view of what has passed that you had better ride home with papa" Eleanor had come out In one of the Stan- hope carriages.

Mir. Slopes Ambitions

MT. Slope was not an attractive man. His hands and feet were large: his hair bricix-dust color: his form awkward and gaunt: his mouth wide and his lips thin and bloodless and his eyes prominent and pale brown, not calculated to inspire con- fidence.
 Ills nose was his redeeming feature, straight and well formed though of a somewhat spongy appearance.
 There was a peculiar clainminess about his touch when he shook hands and a mild precipitation seemed always to be ,exuding from his high. broad forehead MT. Slope was an ambitious man. but not really bad man. He believed that he was possessed of great talents and that in advancing himself he was ad- .vancing the interests of the church. He believed himself natural born ruler and diplomat and in his desire for ad- syancement went so far as his conscience would allow him.
 In fact. when MT. Slope and his con- science had an argument about some par .ticular line of conduct MT. Slope. who was great casuist. could generally sue ceed in arguing down MT. Conscience.
 Gentle-or savage-reader. how often have you. though no casuist, done the same thing? Do not. therefore, cry out fie upon him. If by any chance Mir Con science got the best of the argument Mir. Slope, submitted with what grace he might.
 Such was the man who now proposed to ruIe the see Of Barchester.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-19
Looked Good to MT. Slope

Tn ono of their confidential talks the archdeacon's wife said to her husband :. You may be sure that Eleanor will take a second husband. And if we don't look out she will marry that hideous Slope He is planning to catch her and her for tune. as sure as you live"
 If she does" exclaimed the archdea- con, "she will never enter my doors again."
 And in fact MT Slope having ascer- talned beyond doubt that Eleanor had the income rumor ascribed to her, and moreover considered that she would make him an excellent wife besides allying him with the cathedral party-well, Eleanor Bold five thousand year. management of both the palace and cathedral party looked good to MT. Slope.
 He could almost feel hitter pressing upon his forehead-and was conducting his campaign against the unsuspecting widow accordingly.
 The Proudies returned to Barchester and gave grand entertainment at the palace. Everybody went.

The New Lord Bishop

Rev. pr. Grantly. Lord Bishop of Bar hester, died as he had lived, peaceably. owly, without pain and without excite bent.
 His son. the archdeaeon. a man of forcs Ind decidedly of the church militant, had |een selected as the successor of his fa- her in the see of Barchester when the |me should come-which all saw ap- |roaching-for the installation of a new |ishop.
 But while the old bishop was dying the Id ministry was being put out of office. Ind the new ministry appointed. instead If the archdeacon, Rev. pr. Proudie. pr. Proudie came down to Barchester b be enthroned in the ancient cathedral Ind with him came Mrs. Proudie. who |uled the bishop, and the bishops do- hestic chaplain, Mir. Slope, who designed

 ''Y-e-s, my dear" faltered the bishop. But do you think 1t was-er-hardly-er?'
 'Hardlyw and then the bishopess went on to laud the performance outrageously. Just waht they needed she concluded.
 'I think we will go back to London to- morrow said the bishop. T must be there to sit on the board, you know
 His lordship scented the coming war and, leaving MT. Slope behind retreated in good order with his family and his travelling trunks.
 And war was on in the ancient town of Barehester. For do not think MT. Slope did not make palace party with which to fight the cathedral party led by the belligerent Archdeacon Grantly. .
 The liberality of his ideas caught some. the novelty of them caught others, his diplomatic wfles captured others, his au- thority as the mouthpiece of the bishop caught others.
 He was assiduous in his attentions to society" benevolent and authoritative with the poor.
 The belligerent archdeacon began to realize that he had an antagonist to be reckoned with.

Confidence Restored

Meantime-infact. the very day of the party at Ullathorne-the aged dean of Barchester had died of a stroke of apoplexy.
 Mir Solpe thought that he himself would be Just the man 10 succeed him, and set his wires at work accordingly
 But the archdeacon hurried to Oxford and stated the case 10 the master of Laz- arus, Rev. Dr. Gwynne, who went up to London with the archdeaeon.
 After the two proposals which Eleanor had received at the ulathotne party she ccnflded in her father-tod him tho whole story, and would only palliate the con duet of MT. Slope IJ far as to sny that she thought he w>t tipsy.'
 Dr Harding told the rest of the family, and all joyfully received Eleanor again into their confidence and wondered how they could ever have thought that she Lad encouraged the attentions of Mr. Slopp

For 12. yeals ,,tanhope had beer absent from I8archester, making liis home iu a villa on the Lake Como MT. Slope wrote him letter saving that the bishop de- sired him to return to his duties. and in- timating that there might be trouble if he did not
 He came home. All the Stanhope family were supremely selfish But they forgave each other everything. All that Stanhopc would not forgive was inattention to the preparation of his dinner.
 The only ore of the family really re- markabe was the daughter. who now called herself the Sisnora Madeline yesey Neroni She was woman stll young and with a face of rare beauty. Though forced to give up all motion ill the world. she had no idea of giving up the world itself. $ ~

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-19
Plotting Rebellion

MT. Slope was sent'as ambassador to the Quiverful parsonage announcing the ln- tention of the bishop.
 It was while upon this embassy that MT. Slope learned by accident how well worth the wooing Eleanor Bold would be. Now the clerical Machiavelli began to scheme.
 He had hitherto been Mrs. Proudle's aid in governing the bishop. He knew that the bishop fretted under the domination of his wife and longed. but dared not to break the bonds. He resolved to make himself an ally of the bishop and inspire him with courage to give battle to Mrs. Bishop.
 Then the Qniverful appointment would not be made: the Harding appointment would. Eleanor would be filled with grat- titude and the rest was easy.
 So that very afternoon he deserted his former camp and, joining forces with the bishop. gave desperate battle to the bish- opess.
