PEACE IN MINE REGIONS.

. A number OF important mine opera
tors IN the Paint creek field have for
mally recognized the United Mine
Workers organization. This. The In
telligencer believes, will bring 20 an
end a large part OF the agitation that
has prevailed in that section OF the
State. The real fight has been mo-
for wages and not for better mining
conditions. but for recognition OF the
miners union While the operators
have been able TO operate their plants
with non-union men. nevertheless a
very large proportion OF the workers
were IN sympathy with the union
cause. and. supported by the United
Mine Workers organization. main
tanned a continual and aggressive con-
test. Now that this important ques-
tion is settled we may expect 20 see
a semblance OF peace in that disturbed
territory.
The Intelligence has heretofore OK
pressed the opinion that the opposi-
ton OF the mine operators in th-
southern section Of the State TO
unionism and organization was not
justified. and would prove IN the end
injurious. Eventually the miners Of
West Virginia and the mine operators
must accept the conditions that pre-
vail In other mining sections Of the
United States. The maintenance ~

then what Il meant. After the senate
adjourned I waited around until had
an opportunity TO introduce myself
10 senator Foster. told him OF the
pleasure IL had been to me TO hear
him speak. I said I was going to be
daring enough to ask him what he
meant when he said that the man in
charge of the mint In Carson City
would be a sinecurist. I wasn't sure
that / had got the pronunciation OF
the word properly. He very politely
told me what a sinecurist was.
There was to be a dinner at Wash
fngton that evening, and good
many politicians were TO be there.
Among them was a man who had a
good deal OF influence. but who was
always trying to show off. especially
when he was at a dinner. I made up
my mind that II he did anything OF
the kind that evening would
squelch him with the word which :
heard Senator Foster use.
We'll. II turned out at the dinner
exactly as / had anticipated. This
man made himself conspicuous. and
we were all getting very tired OF his
constant interruptions and tho little
speeches he insisted upon making. At
last l stood up and said 20 the COM
pany: Don't you mind this. men; he
Is only n sinecurist.' And that was
really the truth about him. He had
a political Job with good pay and
nothing TO do.
He called out TO me to know what
that WORD was. said to him: II
you will call upon the distinguished
senator from Connecticut, Mr.. Fos-
ter. who Is now acting vice president
OF the United States. he will tell you
what a sinecurisv Is. for he described
that kind Of n man in n speech which
] heard this afternoon
We'll. this politician was complete
~ floored by what I said. He had
never heard the word and he did not
know whether IL was n compliment or
an insult. BY and by he went away.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Term That F1oored an After Dinner Orator.
By E. J. Edwards

Abraham l.. Brewer was from the
time OF the organization OF the once
famous lnman Steamship Company.
In It's day one OF the two greatest
transatlantic steamship organizations.
In very close business relation TO that
company. He was a self-made man
IN the sense that he had but little
schooling. His industry. however.
never tagged. He had peculiarly
ton for integrity was very high. and
he was Of considerable political in
huence in the times when the New
York custom house was the greatest
political force as a department OF the
government I'm the United States.
Mr. Brewer accumulated what was
In his day a very large fortune. He
retired 20 beautiful country place
after his long service with the In
man company. Shortly after the
Civil war closed Mr. Brewer visited
Washington with two or three promi-
nent New York politicians. For con-
gress he had the greatest generation
possible. and he regarded the dis
tinsuished public men OF that time.
especially those who could speak well.
with n sort OF awe.
After his return TO New York he
related the following incident:
Il went into the gallery OF the
senate with my friends and I was
pleased TO ind that senator was
speaking. who. they told me. would
have been president OF the United
states II Vice-President johnson had
been assassinated. according TO the
plan. on the night when President
Lincoln was shot.
This senator's name was Lafayette
s. Foster. who was a senator from
Connecticut They told me that he
was president pro tempore OF the
senate when ce-President johnson
became president, so that II anything
had happened TO johnson. Foster
would have been president.
He was a fine speaker. He was
speaking against bill TO establish
mint at Carson City. New. lie used
superb language. could have lis
tened TO him by the hour. While

man who would have charge OF the

Moreover. the Balkan war. the con.
sumption Of large amounts OF capital
and the disturbance OF trade resulting
therefrom, have temporarily. al
least. made Europe a seller OF Ameri.
can securities and a borrower OF
American money. This must affect
credit and tend 20 limit activity.

No Big Fights For Labor Day Ring
Fans-WoIgast Slips.

The more. or less human race was
able to endure Labor Day, despite
the fact there were no championship
prize fights staged. Richie and Welsh
were the only topnotchers who had
scheduled a bout, and this go had
to be Cancelled because of an injury
to the Briton. With some of the
prominent heavies threatening to
meet negroes, there will not be any

from a black mark, as he took neat

marked Cross face with fusillade
